His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 575 He Drank The Soup She Left Behind

Josiah didn’t mince words with her either. “All right; as an exchange for teaching you, let’s have our late- night snack first.”

This condition was rather unique.

Lysander took the thermal jar and opened it. Immediately, she was greeted by the enticing aroma of chicken soup. To her surprise, it contained a bowl of creamy chicken noodle soup.

“You go ahead and speak. I’ll eat after I’ve heard you out.”

Josiah slightly lifted his chin and said, “You can eat while you listen.”

Lysander delicately placed the bowl, which was wrapped in a heat–protective layer, onto the writing desk. Then, she took out the cutlery and tasted a mouthful.

After consuming the creamy chicken noodle soup, her previously tense stomach had significantly relaxed.

The desk. cluttered with a computer and numerous files, was far from spacious. A large pile of documents were stacked on the side. Seeing that Lysander had already sorted them out, Josiah reached out to tidy them up, saying. “We need to tackle things one step at a time. I believe your immediate priority should be resolving the issue with the competitive tendering”

Lysander stared at the noodles in her bowl as she expressed her worries. “Right now, Thorne Constructions and Energies is barely maintaining a balance. The projects we’re undertaking hardly come from new clients. If this continues, once Howard’s reputation is exhausted and the old clients back out, things will undoubtedly become very difficult. Today, Mr. Cobb and the marketing department were certainly trying to intimidate me with their coordinated performance. The harsh truths they stated were hard to swallow. They are the only ones that know the problems at hand, yet none of them were willing to make changes. As such, I don’t hold much hope for the competitive tendering.”

Josiah only highlighted the most crucial part, saying. “They were also saying one thing and doing another when I took over Thorne Constructions and Energies‘ affairs.”

Initially, Lysander thought he hadn’t noticed, so she asked, “So, it’s not that you’re too busy juggling both sides, but you’re deliberately letting them be. Why is that?”

“The corporate environment is unlike what you’ve experienced in the hospital before. Their interests are not as aligned as they appear to be. The best strategy is to let them keep each other in check,” Josiah said in a casual tone.

In a flash, Lysander realized something. “It was you who created the cutthroat competition within the board of directors?”

“If you’re content with the status quo, you could let them be. Competition breeds motivation, so they’ll find a way to prepare their proposals. When the time comes, all you need to do is review the proposals submitted by both parties, take the best of each, and reassemble them,” Josiah admitted.
