Josua’s morning routine would always start at Forest Park, followed by leading two of his students for training.
It was a pity that he hadn’t seen Evelyn recently.
Evelyn couldn’t stop thinking about losing two of the three games to Featureless Josua and had always wanted Josua to play another game, but he never once agreed.
Jade was the one who played that game of chess. And although he was skilled, to play against Evelyn was courting death.
Evelyn didn’t suspect that Josua hired a gunman. He spent most of his time looking through chess records in preparation for a clean slate.
As a professional chess player, she had had her fair share of failures. But somehow, it didn’t sit right with her after losing to Abraham. Because, in her opinion, Josua was a tacky person who shouldn’t have such exceptional chess skills.
After returning to the company, Josua began working.
After Carter Medicinal Powder was released, the first batch was supplied to the War Department. Subsequent batches were rushed and weren’t up to standard, and it would take time to improve. The other two drugs were submitted for review and would likely be approved soon.
“It’s better to ask Roland to speed up the progress. He doesn’t hesitate to work overtime, and we need to produce more Carter Medicinal Powder! ” Josua said casually, “If he has no money, we can sponsor him.”
“I’ll rush him. Roland was already fast enough and was watching the production line almost everyday,” Hannah said.
Roland, the chairman, could be said to have done everything by himself. He was the boss, but he went down personally every day to check in on the production line. One can imagine how hard Sanchez Pharm was working on the product.
After a brief meeting, Hannah left the company and went to Sanchez Pharm.
Recently, all the high-level executives were also busy with their affairs. It was only Josua who had more time on his hands. He turned on the computer and resumed his role as Gambling Monster.
“Mr. Evans, Natasha wants to see you!” Yolanda burst into the office and said with a strange expression.
“Who? Natasha?” Josua froze for a moment and stood up.
Yolanda nodded and said, “She is outside now. Do you want to see her?”
Josua thought that after Natasha left Mimar City, she would never come back again. But unexpectedly, she returned. It was unknown what kind of medicine she was selling this time!
However, Josua was excited to meet his past lover. So, he immediately asked Yolanda to bring her over.
Natasha, who appeared in front of Josua again after all this while, was as radiant as before. Her stern expression carried a look of nobility.
“I didn’t expect to see you so soon. You surprised me!” Josua looked at Natasha and said.
“Neither did I ever expect myself to come here for business purposes,” Natasha replied.
Josua walked forward with a smile, “Why are we so indifferent when we were once lovers? Come on, give me a hug, and I’ll see if you’ve lost weight.”
Natasha sneered and replied, “Be mindful of yourself. Our situation is different from before. If you dare touch me, I’ll sue you into bankruptcy!”
Natasha said, “Then do whatever you want. Most of the resources in this mine have already been exhausted. So, at 800 million, I think they will be more than happy to sell it.”
Josua became elated upon hearing Natasha’s words, “You know that, yet you are still willing to spend 800 million on it. Are you out of your mind?”
Natasha replied, “Of course, I have my use for it. I just require your connections. With that, I can guarantee that Northern Biotech’s Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution in the Neva Province will definitely land in your hands.”
If it’s just a mine where the collection was almost exhausted, then it didn’t matter to Josua if it were idle. But the identity of the Carter Group of Manskarta was sensitive, and Natasha was closely linked to the Mendez family. He didn‘t want to facilitate this matter.
“Sorry, but I’ll have to refuse…” Josua shook his head and rejected Natasha without second thoughts.
Natasha’s expression froze as she replied coldly, “Without my help, you would never get your hands on Northern Biotech’s Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution!”
Josua smiled and said, “Natasha, you are still as proud and confident as ever! But, don’t you think that in front of me, you don’t have the circumstances and reasons to be confident? Thinking back, to protect the Porter Group and yourself, how you were so obedient and agreeable with me?”
“It hasn’t been long since then. But you already think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?” Josua’s eyes flickered coldly.
“Do you think that the Mendez family supports you? Did you think I wouldn’t dare take action against you just because I don’t have any dirt on you right now?”
Natasha’s face stiffened, and she remained silent. But her eyes showed no signs of panic.
