“So, do any of you actually have a solution? Or are you just going to keep talking? I don’t want to hear your chatter. I want answers!”

Raymond’s shout made the entire conference room fall silent. Everyone froze like scolded schoolchildren.

Tch. What a bunch of useless freeloaders.

They could argue and point fingers all day long, but when it came time to actually solve the problem, not one of them could come up with anything.

Even the so–called experts they had spent a fortune hiring last year had proven to be nothing but empty suits. They hadn’t turned things around at all. All they did was hold endless meetings, enjoy five–star perks, and waste money.

Sure, things hadn’t gotten worse, but there had been no real progress either.

Of course, she had real acting talent and natural beauty, inheriting the best features of both

parents.

In the entertainment world, someone like her was gold. Add actual ability to that, and she became a star everyone wanted to work with.

But what did any of that have to do with cultivating rare herbs, reducing waste, or developing better plants?

Isn’t that like stepping into a whole different world, a leap so big it feels impossible to cross?

The entertainment industry and research had nothing in common, yet these people were acting like she could fix anything.

Especially that nutcase Elian. Did he really think Amelia was some kind of miracle worker?

Even so, this level of blind faith was ridiculous. Did he honestly believe that she knew it all?

Why did he suddenly sound so different now?
