Chapter 201 “No company can last long if it has no innovation. It’s also a problem I’ve been thinking about recently. I plan to make the changes before the nurket demand forces us.” Nathaniel tapped his finger on the table and looked at everyone present.
“It may seem like we’re on the losing and since our c0111petitors know our formulas, but don’t forget these old products have been around for a while. Even if we didn’t publicize it, some interested rival companies might have already developed it.
“That is to say, ‘ven if our old products still sell well now, they will soon lose their competitiveness. We should aim toward developing new products instead of how to protect the older ones. That should be our focus to ensure our sustainability.” Nathaniel stood up and pressed down on the table with both hands.
His points were sound and reasonable as he came fully prepared. The board of directors was initially skeptical, but his words were reasonable and made them contemplate further.
“You might be correct, but where is our new product? According to the quarterly report, we haven’t produced new products for the past half year. The previous new product award had
resulted in a lawsuit and many other problems. If I’m not mistaken, we had another crisis last month, correct?” Another person asked.
“That’s right. We don’t believe in empty words. As shareholders, we need to see the actual benefit. You need to develop something that can reassure us, Mr. Hall!” When someone raised a concern, the others followed suit.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Quinn. The reason I mention the new products is that we are already in the process of developing them. We currently have two new products which should be ready soon. I’m also very confident they will be a hit,” Nathaniel smiled in reply. Mr. Quinn nodded and said, “Is that so? If that’s the case, that would be great! However, I heard Ms. Christian developed our past outstanding products. Ms. Thayer’s fame was undeserving What’s your explanation on this, Mr. Hall?” “Those are all just rumors. Of course, I’m also at fault for trusting the wrong person and ultimately getting framed. As for Ms. Thayer, I can assure you all that she is the one who developed these two new products this time. She also made our previous best-sellers, so you should all trust her abilities.”
Nathaniel paused for a moment as his expression turned happy at the mention of Melanie. “In addition, there are two things I would like to announce. Firstly, these two new products will represent MN Inc. in the annual perfume competition after we successfully develop them. I am highly confident they will bring glory and prosit to the company.
“Secondly, I’ın marrying, Melanie Thayer. I promise everyone I will not let my personal relationship affect the company’s interest. Instead, Ms. Thayer and I will do our best to make MN Inc. better!” Nathaniel’s explanation cleared the shareholders’ doubts and concerns.
Everyone had initially attended the meeting to question him on the situation. His reasoning sounded reasonable, and the future looked promising, so they no longer questioned him. “If so, I would like to congratulate Mr. Hall in advance. I hope we will have two things to celebrate in three months!”
Nathaniel smiled in glee. He knew in his heart that there would not be two but three things to celebrate.
Melanie was right when she said it was better to daringly admit their mistake as they could not undo Lily’s damages. This way, Nathaniel could earn the shareholders’ favorability. She was his lucky star, after all.

Nathaniel clanced at the group photo of himself, Melanie, and Lily on the desk when lie returned to his office. He boldly displayed the photo in the office because three of them were in it. He was not afraid that Melanie would see it because he and Melanie secretly held hands in that picture. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
He was already dating Melanie back then. On the rare occasion when the trio took photos, he would stand closer to Melanie. Lily had never noticed it as she had never paid too much attention to such details.
