Chapter 121
"A company suddenly stopped selling our medicine. I'll have to pay them a visit personally. I want you to drive."
Matthew frowned. "I thought you knew how to drive."
Looking grim, Rachel replied, "I don't know why, but I feel like things haven't been going well for me since I started manufacturing traditional medicine. I'll feel uneasy if you're not coming with me." Matthew sauntered up to her and chuckled. "You can't live without me now, can you?"
Flushing, Rachel chided, "I mean it!"
She had come to a point where she always subconsciously thought of Matthew whenever she encountered an issue.
And Matthew's recklessness really did amuse her sometimes, like how he failed to find the spider earlier.
Rachel only got angry because she was worried that her image would be ruined if any of her employees came across what Matthew did in the office earlier. She wasn't angry at him for taking advantage of her. Even she was amazed by this fact alone.
"Alright, then. Let's go now," Matthew answered after contemplating for a while.
...
At the building's entrance, Tessa told the guard, "I'm looking for your president, Rachel."
The guard smiled and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"
Tessa shook her head. "No."
"In that case, I can't let you in. I'm sorry," the guard said, shaking his head.
Tessa stated, "Just tell her that Tessa's looking for her."
The guard shook his head again. "Regardless of who you are, you can't enter without an appointment."
Tessa seemed slightly abashed. She had hoped to pressure Matthew into giving her her share of the ten billion dollars he possessed through Rachel, but she couldn't even meet Rachel at all. Thus, she had no choice but to wait at the entrance.
...
A red car drove out of the underground garage, passing the Wealthwave Group building to leave for the northern suburbs.
Along the journey, Rachel briefed Matthew on the company they were headed to.
"It's a chain company owned by Shane Wright. We've been working with them for two decades. I've no idea why he suddenly rejected all our products."
Matthew contemplated for a while and asked, "Did he mention anything about profit distribution before?"
Usually, such issues stemmed from uneven profit distribution. He hoped that would be the case, as it would be the easiest problem to resolve.
Rachel shook her head. "In fact,
that's the strangest part. Shane
didn't tell us anything. He merely
notified us about it after the fact et
Our salesmen even treated him to a meat to inquire about the situation, but all they got was a flat refusal!"
Soon enough, their car came to a stop in front of a building. They got out and headed to the tenth floor. Once they exited the elevator,

Pharmaceuticals".
The receptionist smiled and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Your boss invited us over. Aren't you aware of that?" Matthew snapped.
His irritated stance sent the receptionist into a fright. She immediately apologized, "I'm sorry! Please come in. Do you need me to lead the way?" Matthew waved her off. "No. I'm familiar with your boss' office."
With that, he strode off promptly. Rachel trailed after him and whispered, "Do you really know him?"
He hadn't mentioned knowing Shane
on their way here. She was caught
off guard when he suddenly claimed to know Shane, so she wanted to confirm. Things would be much
easier if Matthew knew Shane.
Shaking his head, Matthew replied, "I just made that up. Otherwise, we'd probably be stopped by now."
Realization dawned on Rachel. Understanding that she had a slimmer chance of successfully resolving the situation, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Still, she admired Matthew's shrewdness. The sales manager couldn't even meet Shane, but now she'd finally seized the chance to do so.
Moving through the office area, they went straight to the innermost room. The door to the room labeled "General Manager" was ajar.
Rachel stepped into the room first. Her expression changed drastically the moment she realized Jeffrey was in the room as well.
