Chapter 254 Zane noticed that the samples were not only common merchandise available in the market but also practical everyday items that had been turned into merchandise. He was impressed. "Very professional." Eric nodded in agreement. "Yes." "With the recruitment for the merchandise and comics departments complete, if everything goes smoothly, all the remaining merchandise should be ready in a few days. "However, I think the growth rate for the comic's following isn't fast enough.
"So, allocate more funding from the finance department to the advertising team. After all, the early stages of promoting comics are heavily reliant on burning through cash." Eric laid out his plan methodically, and Zane, who never lacked funds, simply said, "Approve." It was through Annalise that Eric had learned about the potential and profitability of the comics industry. Its promising prospects made him take it seriously.
Eric added, "There weren't many applicants for the translation department, which handles international promotion, but I'll keep an eye on that and also oversee the progress in the comics department." His detailed arrangements put Zane at ease. "No problem." Huxham Corporation offered the best benefits in the country-high salaries, no mandatory overtime, and excellent perks. Interns earned 7,000 dollars a month, while full-temployees started at a minimum of 20,000 dollars after their probation period.

It was the dream workplace for many.
Zane believed that those who hesitated to apply weren't deterred by Huxham's policies but simply weren't aware of the recruitment notice.
Back in the office, Zane recounted the updates from Eric.
I looked up at him, surprised. "Things are progressing this quickly?" Zane's tone was steady as he said, "Preparation is key to avoiding unexpected problems." His strong desire for control over his business was likely one of the main reasons for his success.
After pondering for a while, I said, "If this keeps up, my share of the profits each month will be quite substantial." To Zane, the amount I received wasn't much, but he still paused for a moment before realizing that my share was significant compared to my salary. Smiling, he said, "That's correct." en I voiced my thoughts, "In that case, can we give more bonuses to the employees in the comics department?" Zane hadn't expectedto bring this up. With a light chuckle, he reassured me, "Don't worry. The company already provides them with performance-based commissions." I finally felt relieved.
Steven's phone buzzed incessantly with bills, but he barely glanced at them. The money Jessica spent no longer minded him. What mattered was Annalise.
Sitting in his car, Steven only wanted Annalise to cdownstairs so he could talk to her. Yet after two hours of waiting, she still hadn't appeared.

Running out of patience, Steven recalled his business partnership with Huxhamation. Using this as a pretext he could enter the Sa company and find Annalise directly. With this plan in mind, he drove into the underground parking lot and took the elevator to Zane's floor. When Eric saw him, he stepped
forward to intercept him. "Mr. Pelham, what brings you here?" He frowned slightly as questioning his memory. "I don't recall Mr. Huxham having any scheduled meetings with you recently." Steven quickly lied, "There are sissues with the collaboration. I remember Annalise works here. Ask her over to coordinate with me." Eric immediately understood Steven's real intent: he just wanted an excuse to meet Annalise.
Knowing Zane's feelings for
Annalise, Eric firmly sided with his boss. "Apologies, Mr. Pelham but Mr. Huxham has already established a separate comics company just for Annalise." en
