Chapter 537 - 533 The Two Young Masters are the New Hope of the Lewis Group
The breakfast that the three children made for Richelle Dunn was beef pancakes.
The dough was kneaded by the six little hands of the three little ones and the filling was minced with a food processor, followed by flavoring according to a gourmet food blogger’s video.
When Richelle and Roy Lewis arrived in the kitchen, Timmy and Timothy were Standing on small stools, one holding an oil brush and the other just covering the frying pan with a lid.
Tifanny, however, was holding several freshly fried stuffed buns, smacking her lips.???? °
“Wow, it smells so good.”
Richelle, looking at her understanding and considerate children, bent down and kissed Roy’s face.
“Thank you!”
Roy was puzzled, but anyhow, he was the one who was kissed, so he considered it a gain.
“What for?”
Richelle laughed, “Thank you for taking care of the little ones while I was on a business trip.”
In the past, when she had to go on a mission, she had to entrust Timothy and Tifanny to her friends.
Of course, her friends also took good care of the two little ones.
But after all, it’s different from being taken care of by their real father.
Roy lowered his voice, half joking and half serious.
Then is this a thank you too perfunctory?”
Richelle gave him a glance, let go of him, and strode towards the children. “Babies, it smells so good. Is this delicious pancake really for me to eat?” Tifanny quickly offered the plate in front of her.
“Mommy, of course it’s for you to eat. We just realized how tiring making pancakes is…”
Standing on the stool, Timothy turned his head and smiled at her.
‘Mommy, we’ll make it for you from now on!”
Roy, who followed, said jealously, “What about me? As a father, am I not even qualified to have one pancake?”
The three little ones laughed out loud.
Timmy turned to look at him, “Daddy, have you ever heard of the term ‘payback’?”
Roy understood what the little one meant, “Oh…Daddy hasn’t made pancakes for you, so he is not qualified to have them, but Daddy earns money to support you ungrateful little ones.”
Timmy chuckled, “But Timmy and Timothy have gone to work to help, right? That’s also a kind of payback.”
The family joked and laughed in the kitchen until the beef pancakes were all fried and served at nearly eleven o’clock.
While the children were frying the pancakes, Richelle quickly stir-fried some noodles, sauteed some vegetables, and roasted some lamb skewers. In the end, the family decided to just make do with this as lunch.
After eating, the children each went to their online classes with their own teachers.
Richelle and Roy stayed in the study, each attending to their own affairs. Yesterday, Denise Munni had just sent the Dunn Group’s monthly operating report to her email. After carefully reading it, she became deep in thought. Having handled his affairs, Roy saw that she was staring at the computer screen, so he asked her,
“What’s wrong? Is there something not right?”
Richelle nodded, “The Dunn Group’s profit margin dropped by five percent last month, which is unreasonable. Denise has been closely monitoring these past ew months, so the revenue and expenditures should be more balanced than before.”
Roy made a sound of agreement, “Then have you found out where the problem is?”
“Costs, such as the large batch of raw materials imported from abroad, have increased, as has the cost of labor, which is much higher.”
“So has the number of employees increased a lot?”
“Yes, in the industrial sector alone, nearly three thousand people have been added in the past two months, but there has been no significant increase in production. Is it normal for this to be marked as a transition from old to new?”
Roy couldn’t make a definitive judgment, “This depends on the specific situation. It’s best to go to the field and follow the entire production process.” Richelle nodded, “I was thinking the same thing.”
Roy couldn’t help but get nervous, “Are you planning on making a trip yourself?”
She had just come back, barely settled in, and she was going to run off again? Fortunately, Richelle shook her head.
“Of course not! My identity is too conspicuous. If I really stay there, I won’t find out anything.”
When Roy heard her say this, he knew she had a plan in mind, and as long as it wasn’t her personally taking action, he would support her, no matter what the plan was.
Richelle indeed had a plan, so she took out her phone and dialed Darren Moss’ number.
Uncle Moss, there’s something I want to ask you for a favor…”
Roy listened as she communicated with Darren in a very organized manner, knowing that he didn’t need to worry about this matter at all, so he turned his head to continue with his own work.
After Richelle had asked Darren for his help and hung up the phone, she then mentioned another matter to Roy.
“By the way, the first phase of the clinical trial report for the drug you invested
in is out. I am planning to submit an application in East Asia.”
Roy has been hands-off since the beginning regarding the follow-up operations of his investment in the drug.
However, he still offered some suggestions, but the final decision was entirely up to Richelle.
“Are you planning to make East Asia your base?”
Richelle nodded, “Since Timmy and Timothy are so interested in this project and their ideas are so advanced, I thought I’d let them take the reins. Who knows, they might be able to create a new path for the Lewis Group.” Roy made a sound of agreement. “How much is the initial investment? Do you need me to have someone do a preliminary evaluation?”
Richelle thought for a while, “No rush, let the kids explore slowly on their own.
Just have Nathan give them some guidance when he has time.”
Roy readily agreed, “Alright, I’ll provide the funding when the time comes. We can decide later whether or not to include it in the Lewis Group..”
