"Where have I heard that voice before?" She pondered for a moment, then it hit her - it was Brittany's voice!
Joie quickly hung up the phone, looking at the call history in disbelief, her whole body trembling.
How could it be Brittany?
Seeing no response, Brittany didn't think much of it. She set her phone aside and went back to sleep.
Half an hour later, the bed dipped slightly.
"I'll make you breakfast in the morning. Just sleep."
Brittany heard a man's voice through her sleepiness, grunted in response, and fell back asleep.
...
Brittany officially took over the Dustin Group and called a shareholders meeting on Monday.
After Robert left, the Dustin Group was in crisis. Brittany partnered with Grandeur Capital, bringing new vitality to the company.
The meeting lasted over five hours, and there were some disputes along the way. But the results were satisfying.
After the meeting, Mr. Carrol poured Brittany a glass of water, "Ms. Dustin, you need to stay calm. The company's been losing money. If you're thinking about making a profit now, it's not going to be easy."
The funds from Grandeur Capital had arrived, giving the Dustin Group some breathing room.
Brittany took a sip of water and began to look over the financial report, "I know."
The shareholders wanted to invest in real estate, but Brittany thought it was a long-term investment with high risk.
The domestic real estate market had been sluggish in recent years. It was better to use this opportunity to transform.
Brittany saw potential on the internet.
After hearing her thoughts, Isaac expressed his support, "The internet does have potential, but the competition is fierce. Have you thought this through?"
Brittany thought it over and said, "I have."
Isaac was worried that she was working too hard. He got Wesley to introduce her to some bigwigs in the internet industry. After a week of communicating with them, Brittany received her first order.
It wasn't a big order, but it was enough to give Brittany hope.
While Brittany was busy, Joie was taken to the operating room.
The surgery took over seven hours, but it was a success.
Isaac had the best medical team on hand, and with six months to a year of recovery, Joie would be back to normal.
Joie tried to share the good news with Isaac, but he was cold towards her.
After a few attempts, Joie thought Brittany was deliberately making Isaac ignore her, which led to resentment towards Brittany.
Brittany was oblivious to this. By the time she finished her work, half a month had passed.
