Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage

Chapter 30



Chapter 30

In Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, Sasha, as the current Chairman of the company, was totally knocked out by work on her first day. This company belonged to the Cunninghams after all, so plenty of their family members held key positions in the corporation.

Although Sasha was promoted as the Chairman, her family members were openly resisting her commands and boycotting her. They even expressly guaranteed that they would drive Sasha off from her position within three days.

To make matters worse, Sasha couldn’t even enter the Chairman’s office. Now that her room was inaccessible, she had to work at a table at the corner. Because of that, her subordinates disrespected her even more. Besides, a few companies had canceled their collaboration with the company that morning.

Undoubtedly, the Cunningham Family was behind all these. Their objective was none other than to completely strip away Sasha’s power as the Chairman, hoping that it would force her to give up. However, Sasha was headstrong and stubborn. Despite suffering these setbacks, she still clenched her teeth and held on.

For the whole morning, Sasha was busy making calls to expand her client base. Meanwhile, the other staff of the company were sitting idly with crossed legs while banteringly looking at her. At noon, Matthew came to the company. As soon as he stepped in, he was showered by disdainful gazes.

“Isn’t he Miss Cunningham’s useless husband?”

“Why did he come here?”

“Isn’t it obvious? He must have come to show off and swagger in front of us since his wife has become the Chairman.”

“Bah! Who does he think he is? He’s just a loser who lives off his wife. What’s there to flaunt?”

“It’s still uncertain how long Miss Cunningham will hold on to her position as the Chairman, so why is he so eager to show off? This is a common trait of the poor.”

When Matthew got upstairs, Sasha was still busy with her work. “What brings you here?” Sasha was perplexed.

With a smile, Matthew replied, “It’s noon. I came to invite you for lunch.”

“Do you still have the mood to eat?” Charlie walked over with a sneer. “Sasha, I received a few calls just now and another 17 companies have canceled our orders.”

“Really?” Lily mocked while laughing, “Oh no. Just by doing simple math, we can tell that all our company’s orders are gone!” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Exactly!” Charlie sneered. “Just on your first day as the Chairman, our company has lost all the sales. Sasha, I’m truly impressed!”

Roaring with laughter, Lily and Charlie walked away while Sasha’s face turned grave. Soon, a few staff approached her.

“Chairman, we are tendering our resignation! Could you please settle our salary?”

“What?” Sasha’s expression changed as these were among the company’s most outstanding workers.

“Why would you suddenly want to resign?”

One of them replied, “The company isn’t receiving orders now, and everyone knows that it is going bankrupt soon. If we stay, we’re afraid that we might have to suffer the implications.”

“T-This is just temporary…” Anxiously, Sasha assured, “I’m trying to secure the other orders, so we will not go bankrupt!”

“Hmph! Those are just words of comfort. But will it be that easy to close a sale now?” A staff member uttered loudly, “Enough, Miss Cunningham. Stop saying nonsense. I must resign today and you shall settle my salary right now. Otherwise, I’ll press charges against you!”

“Exactly. Settle our salary now!”

“If you dare to overdue our pay, you shall expect to be imprisoned!”

Everyone was shouting at the same time. At that moment, more and more employees started to gather around and voiced out their intention to leave. Sasha’s face looked glum. If they all left, wouldn’t the company be empty?

At that moment, Matthew walked over. “Everyone, please calm down. Miss Cunningham just said that they will have new orders coming in soon. Why are you being so anxious about it?”

“Who do you think you are? You have no say in this place!”

“You’re just a live-in son-in-law of the Cunningham Family, a loser who lives off his wife. Who gives you the right to meddle in our company’s concerns?”

“Hmph! Doesn’t that make him the Chairman’s wife? How hilarious. He’s like a concubine meddling in state affairs!”

Charlie and Lily wouldn’t stop sneering. They were the ones to instigate these staff to gather here. With knitted eyebrows, Matthew announced loudly, “I won’t waste my time talking with all of you. If you decide to leave, we won’t stop you. If you decide to stay, I guarantee that the company will clinch orders of at least 300 million within three days. By that time, you won’t miss your bonuses either.”

After a moment of silence, someone instantly sneered. “That’s hilarious! As a live-in son-in-law, you’re not only skilled in living off your wife, but you’re also an expert in boasting!”

“Hahaha…”

Everyone roared with laughter while Sasha looked anxious. “Matthew, what are you talking about?”

Matthew gestured at Sasha to calm down, while saying in a faint smile, “Alright. It’s up to all of you whether to stay or to leave.”

In the end, most of them decided to remain in the company while a small number of them opted to leave immediately, and they were shouting at Sasha to settle their wages. That gave Sasha a headache because there was not much money left in the company’s account. All the orders were canceled, so that required a huge amount of refund. If there were no new sales, the company would have no liquid assets, which would lead to bankruptcy!

Matthew said, “You could resign, but we’ll need to process your salary. Within five working days, it will be banked in to your account.”

After everything was settled, the crowd started to dismiss.

“Matthew, w-what were you doing just now?” Sasha complained in a low voice, “Don’t you know what the current situation of the company is?”

Laughing lightly, Matthew consoled, “Sasha, don’t worry. Within three days, I’ll surely clinch at least 300 million worth of orders.”

“How is that possible?” Sasha asked anxiously. “In the past, our orders didn’t even exceed 200 million altogether.”

Matthew replied with a smile, “That’s in the past.”

“It’s even harder now! Plus, why did you agree to their resignation earlier on?”

“Don’t worry. They’ll regret it!”

Sasha glanced at Matthew in doubt. Where did he get his confidence from?

Matthew walked to the corner and took out his phone to send a message to Stanley. ‘Announce it to the public that our company is launching a new medicine that can heal three types of cancer and we’ll be accepting bookings from nowon!’

After that, Matthew pretended as if nothing happened and took Sasha out for lunch. As soon as they walked out of the company, a black Audi drove near. “Sasha!” Jeffrey stuck his head out. “Hop in. I’m treating you to a meal!” He completely ignored Matthew.

Holding Sasha’s hand, Matthew rejected Jeffrey’s invitation with a smile and said, “I’m sorry, but Sasha will be having lunch with me this noon.”

Jeffrey knitted his eyebrows. When did Sasha start to treat Matthew so well? Rolling his eyes, he smiled and insisted, “It’s alright. The three of us will have lunch together then.”

“I’m afraid it’s going to be only the two of us, and it’s not convenient to bring you along,” declined Matthew.

“We can discuss your company’s order as well.” Jeffrey beamed before he queried, “Sasha, aren’t you curious as to why so many orders were suddenly canceled?”

Sasha’s expression changed while she asked anxiously, “Why was that?”

Jeffrey smiled smugly. “Hop in and I’ll explain it to you.”
