"However, since the the of our competition is to increase sales by 10 percent in three months, your thod of enlarging spoons may not be very effective."
Being afraid she might misunderstand him, he hastened to explain, "I'm not saying your thod is bad, but it has to take ti to show its value. If you just have an idea, your sight is a little narrow, and it'll be very difficult for you to beat ."
Hazel chuckled. Chris was so proud that when he reminded her, he couldn't help saying sothing bad to her.
"Thanks for the reminder," she said quietly. "But rest assured, I have other thods to solve these problems."
Chris's gaze changed at once. Did it turn out she still had other ans? His worries were unnecessary. The eting ended much quicker than expected, and Hazel was very pleased with the result.
There was still plenty of people with evil intentions, but at least they looked at her with new eyes, and they did not seem to be as disgusted as at the beginning of the eting.
Plus, Hazel felt most of them had integrity, although they were jealous. Hence, she didn't have to worry that they would take Chris's side, and even if they did, very likely Chris would be the first to disagree.
"Manager Crowe, I'm really sorry..." Mandy followed Hazel into her office and apologetically said, "I just wanted to help, but I didn't expect it to cause you so much trouble."
"Don't say that," Hazel said with a smile. "Even without your plan, they wouldn't be kind to , either. Besides, your plan is really good."
"Is it?" Mandy lowered her head a little shyly and pushed her glasses up on the nose. "But I think you have a better idea. You are really very talented."
"Joshua also said so," Hazel stuck her tongue out with a smug smile. "When I ca up with this idea yesterday, I felt like he was looking at differently, and he kept praising I'm a genius!"
Mandy raised her head in surprise.
"Why are you looking at like that?" Hazel wore a wry smile. "You thought Joshua helped , didn't you?"
"No, no, no," Mandy shook her head hastily. "I'm just surprised. Was Master Denmark unwilling to help you?"
"He promised not to help this ti," Hazel said with a chuckle. "I'm not going to give him a chance to make a mistake."
Mandy looked at her admiringly. "I wish I could have your extraordinary thoughts."
"You don't have to belittle yourself," Hazel smiled. "You also have your rits. I can't write such a detailed and organized plan as you can, so this ti I'll offer ideas, and I'll leave the processing and polishing to you."
"It's really great that I can help!" Mandy said happily.
When Hazel told her what she was thinking, Mandy was taken aback.
"Manager Crowe… you are a genius!" Mandy sighed with emotions.
"Stop complinting ," Hazel said a bit sheepishly. "How soon will the plan be ready?"
"Give three days," Mandy said. "But I still need so data support,"
"You list the data you need, and I'll provide it to you." Hazel took a deep breath. "Mandy, you're the only person I can rely on here. Let's try our best together!"
"I will!" Mandy's eyes twinkled under her lenses.

Hazel had been busy all day. Neither she nor Mandy left as they stayed busy with the plan.
All of a sudden, Hazel moved her nose and asked blankly, "Mandy, am I hallucinating, or do you sll sothing delicious?"
"I sll it, too," Mandy said.
"Oh no, we forgot sothing very important," Hazel said as she touched her stomach and swallowed. "We forgot to have dinner! Ahhh, I'm going to faint from hunger. Quickly order so takeout…"
Before she finished the sentence, there was a knock on the door.
Hazel was a little startled and intuitively asked, "Who is it?"
"A deliveryman," The person outside replied quietly.
"The delivery man is that quick?" Mandy asked in surprise.
But Hazel was suddenly happy and rushed to the door and opened it. Joshua, who was in a suit, was standing outside the door and holding food containers, radiating a delicious sll.
"Why are you here?" Hazel delightedly took the food in his hand.
Joshua was a bit frustrated because he thought Hazel would at least give him a hug or sothing. However, she was only staring at the food, which really hurt his feelings.
He said quietly, "You didn't co back. I guessed you were working overti, so I ca to pick you up."
He walked inside, following her. When his eyes fell on Mandy, he slightly frowned.
"Master Denmark." Mandy stood up awkwardly. She lowered her head and looked very nervous. He gave her a slight nod and went to the sofa to sit down with Hazel.
"Mandy, co over and eat," Hazel beckoned her to co. "Let's work after dinner. Joshua brought a lot of food."
Mandy walked over, a little upset, and Hazel handed her a plate. Mandy quickly glanced at Joshua, he did not seem to care if she had dinner with them, so she took it from Hazel's hands.
"How's it going?" He calmly gave Hazel a bowl of porridge.
"Almost done," said Hazel, laughing.
Then she told him exactly what had happened today. He listened silently and occasionally replied with "Mmm."
"Did I handle it all right?" Hazel blinked.
"Great," he said, gently caressing her head. "My Hazel's getting more and more capable."
Hazel blushed from his praise.
He looked at the ti and whispered, "It's too late. The plan can't be finished in a day. Let's go ho today and continue tomorrow."
"Okay." She agreed obediently. It was true that she was so busy and absorbed that she forgot the ti.
"Let's take Mandy with us," She suggested. "It's so late, and it's far from the city. It's not safe for her to go ho alone."
He cocked his brows with a bit of displeasure.
Mandy was suddenly more embarrassed. She hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter. I can take a taxi by myself…"
"I'll arrange for a bodyguard to take her ho," he said quietly.
Hazel agreed with Joshua's offer. The three of them walked downstairs, and after watching the bodyguard and Mandy walk away, Hazel got into the car.
"Why is she around you?" Joshua asked quietly.
