Chapter 95: Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Some People Just Love Trouble Julian and Alexander returned to the Parks’ residence.

Julian told Annalise to lie down and rest for a while. He would wake her up when it was time to eat.

Annalise smiled and said, “No need.”

She was only twenty years old this year, and her body was at its best.

Moreover, her mentor, Dariel Randall was the founder of Randalls’ Martial Arts. He was admired by everyone in Chanaea.

Annalise was Dariel’s disciple!

After being found and brought home by Joseph Quigley when she was seven years old, all her mentors fought for her time every day. She had to practice martial arts for at least four hours a day.

After she gradually grew up, Dariel felt that her boxing skills were good enough. Then, he finally reduced the time she had to spend on martial arts to two hours a day.

When Annalise was in the village, she had to practice punching techniques every day.

She didn’t have the space to practice in Jadeborough.

However, she would stand by the window and practice the Mountain Standing Posture every day right after she woke up in the morning. That would activate the energy in her body and boost her positive energy for the day.

Julian said, “Listen to me. Lie down and rest for a while.

“Alright.” Annalise didn’t want to hurt Julian’s feelings. She had no choice but to lie down and rest.

Julian bent down and reached out to gently caress Annalise’s cheek. He then leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.

The warmth from the kiss spread across Annalise’s body.

She smiled sweetly at him.

Julian also smiled. There was a trace of imperceptible helplessness in his gentleness and affection.

He said, “Rest well. I’ll go to the study to work. I’ll come and call you for dinner later.”

“Alright!” Annalise said and closed her eyes to rest.

Julian watched as Annalise closed her eyes obediently. His heart skipped a beat.

He looked at her again before going into the study to work.

Not long after Julian left, a notification from Annalise’s Whatsapp came in. She reached for her phone.

The message was from Abigail.

Annalise was a little surprised. Although they had each other’s contact, they had not contacted each other in forever.

As soon as she clicked on the notification, she was speechless when she saw Abigail’s provocation.

[Annalise, is it fun to taunt me? You are very satisfied right now, aren’t you? You have known Jonathan Woods for a long time, right? I should have known. Annalise, who looks innocent and acts like a nun, is actually a bad person. Annalise, don’t be so smug. Just wait.]

Annalise replied to Abigail with an ellipsis.

Some people just couldn’t stop asking for trouble. How pathetic!

Seeing that Annalise had replied with an ellipsis, Abigail got worked up again. She could not let Alexander know that she had gotten in touch with Annalise again, so she quickly deleted the chat history. She gritted her teeth and thought that no one would always be lucky. She would hold her head up high and let everyone see how useless Annalise was during the garments showcase.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, It was Friday already. Parks Group’s showcase for their new collection of winter clothes was here.

Abigail was in high spirits. She felt that she finally had the chance to be proud.

She carried a fashionable branded bag and opened it several times to confirm that the USB drive was in it. She checked her phone again. There was a backup of the PowerPoint presentation on her phone.

She looked tall and flashy in her 4 inches-high heels.

She was wearing a gown designed by Susan. She held Alexander’s hand.

In Abigail’s words, she wanted to be the focus of today’s winter collection showcase.

Unlike her, Annalise was the opposite. Annalise wore a normal T-shirt. Her hair was tied into a simple bun, and she put on simple makeup. She attended the showcase with Julian.

The showcase was divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon.

The session in the morning was an internal meeting for Parks Group’s employees.

All the Parks family members with positions in the Parks Group participated, as well as minor shareholders and executives.

The meeting was to discuss how to promote the new products, which products, and who would lead the launch in the afternoon. Julian, Alexander, and Timothy were the considered candidates.

Therefore, for the Parks, the meeting in the morning was the most important part.

After everyone sat down, Samuel Parks sat at the head of the table and said, “Parks Group’s internal meeting for the showcase begins now. Who wants to go first?”

“Julian can go first.” Alexander smiled and gestured for Julian to go first.

guys can go ahead,” Julian said indifferently.

“I also think that Julian should go first,” Timothy said.

“Well then. I’ll go first.” Julian did not get up. He turned on the computer, connected it to the projector, and opened the PowerPoint presentation slides.

Various winter clothes appeared on the big screen.

Julian said, “I want to optimize this year’s winter clothes based on previous winter clothes we had. In the past, we were in the middle and high-end market. This year, I plan to enter the low-end market of the whole Chanaea.”

*Julian, you can’t be too greedy. Parks Group has always been marketing middle and high-end products. If we make low-end products now, it will ruin our reputation.”

“That’s right. The most important thing for Parks Group, the wealthiest company of Chanaea, is not to make money, but to maintain our business, reputation, and image.”

“Young people are too greedy and impulsive. They want to earn it all. There is no such good thing in the world!”

“Julian, if you think that way, I don’t think you’re suitable to be Parks Group’s president.”

Julian swept his eyes across the people who spoke one by one with a cold expression on his face. He asked calmly, “So, who do you think is more suitable to be Parks Group’s president?”

Seeing that someone was about to speak, Julian stopped him calmly and said, “In the past three years, Parks Group’s performance has been increasing every year under my leadership. You only think I’m not suitable to be Parks Group’s president because you think the low-end market will ruin our reputation. Does your objection come from your personal desire? Do you care that much about Parks Group’s reputation?”

“Of course I care about Parks Group’s reputation!”

“Julian, you’re too unforgiving.”

Julian did not give them a chance to complain. He said indifferently, “No corporation’s leader is gentle and aiming for the middle path. If a corporation’s president did not have ferocity and courage, the corporation. would only be destroyed in his hands.

“I wasn’t asking for everyone’s opinion when I said we need to increase the low-end products this year.

I’m just informing you. Your support and rejection won’t affect me much. After all, only sales matters!”

After saying so much in one breath, he paused and said calmly, “Now, everyone can take a look at the products I’m promoting. This series of down jackets are the work of the designer, Wind. Her down jackets have always been popular. These are high-end products. They’re priced at more than 4,500 dollars.

Their targets were high-income people, celebrities, business executives, heirs of wealthy families, and so on. “In addition, Wind has also designed some products for the middle-end market. The target customers are the middle class.

“The main consideration for high-end products was international integration. They would be relatively different and more personalized. Middle-end products would mainly focus on local fashion styles.

“Low-end products are mainly concerned with keeping warm and style diversification. After all, the lower class has the largest population.”

Julian was about to continue when many people started arguing.
