After leaving James’ office, Liam immediately approached Helen and said, “Mom, we managed to bring
in so much profit from the first business we have.
Seems like our company will have a very bright future ahead! I’m thinking of getting a car for you, since it
isn’t a good idea for you to travel by taxi to meet with clients in the future. Nowadays, rich ladies all travel
around in luxurious cars.”
Helen’s eyes gleamed with excitement after listening to Liam’s suggestion.
She had long yearned for the life of a rich lady and having a luxurious car was one of the basic elements
of such a life!
“That’s a good idea. Find out which model is suitable for me and get me one. I’ll ask Demi to transfer
some money to you later!”
In fact, Liam made the suggestion mainly because of his own desire.
Since Helen did not know how to drive, the new car would surely be driven by Liam, and it would also be
at his disposal other than the time he drove Helen around.
After some discussion, Liam and Demi decided to purchase a Porsche Panamera which cost nearly
three million.
At first, Helen hesitated when she learnt about the price.
Yet, after Liam brought her to visit the car dealership, she immediately made up her mind to buy the car.
She straightaway drove the new car home without even talking about it with James beforehand.
James only got to know about the car when Helen drove it to the office.
He went so livid with rage that he nearly spurted out blood when he saw that there were 3 million less in
the company’s account.
Sasha had transferred a total of thirty million over to the account as their capital.
Only fifteen million was left after a great fortune was expended on initiating the company, staff
employment and purchasing all the hardwares and softwares needed in the office.
Now that Helen had spent over three million at one go on the car, the business account was left with only
twelve million.
Most importantly, the car Helen bought was way better than his, which was still that BMW he had
snatched from Matthew back then.
Now that Helen had gotten herself a Porsche, the difference between the two cars was obvious.
The couple had a bitter argument over it but in the end, James had no choice but to accept it because
Helen prevailed in the argument.
However, the expenditure still put the company in a financially challenging situation.
They had to get the cash flow running with the remaining capital as soon as possible or the company
would not be able to carry on its operation after some time.
Fortunately, James had made a business deal with Francis before this. Therefore, he immediately
contacted Francis and asked him to deliver the Astragalus to the company.
At the same time, he gave Francis a brief account of the cash flow problem his company was facing,
which was the reason why he could only make half the payment for the herbs first and then the second
payment some time later.
Of course, Francis accepted the payment term readily and the herbs were then delivered to Wellness
Herbary on the following day.
Mr. Rodgers, who worked for Francis, delivered the herbs instead of Francis himself.
Looking cocky, Mr. Rodgers kept on commenting that the herbs were highly sought after by many other
companies once he reached Wellness Herbary.
He sounded rather annoyed to see James get such a fine bargain by buying the herbs at the price
Francis offered him.
Both James and Helen were overjoyed to hear that.
They would be able to make a huge profit out of selling the herbs because they managed to acquire the
herbs at a much lower price.
As the company was established not too long ago, they had yet to hire any experts who had the
necessary experience or skills to ascertain the quality of the herbs.
Pretending to look smart, James went to check on the herbs himself but in fact, he knew nothing about it.
He nodded his head in agreement to the deal readily just because he thought the herbs looked fresh and
nice.
Just as he was about to pay Francis, Matthew made a sudden appearance.
“James and Helen, what are the two of you busy doing?”
Both James and Helen looked irritated at the sight of him. “Who gave you the permission to be here?
Didn’t I tell you before? You aren’t allowed to step foot in my company!”
In a mild tone, Matthew said, “Dad, I heard that you’re going to purchase Astragalus in bulk today and
I’m here to help you look at it. Are these the one? What’s this funny smell?”
