Dorothy pretended to be confused. “They are not wedding dresses, are they? A wedding dress needs more handwork, at least. These don’t count. At most, they are just evening dresses.
“Ash, I thought you would look good in these dresses. Try them on”
Ash was speechless and thought, So Dorothy’s got everything waiting for me here. No wonder she did not mention anything just now. It turns out she’s arranged everything for me…
Ash took a deep breath and smiled. “Dorothy, didn’t you just say you were feeling unwell? Let me massage you a little. There’s no hurry to try on the dresses
“Also, where did they hide the cameras? I’ll massage you while you talk, okay?”
Dorothy patted the back of Ash’s hand lightly. “Alright, it’s your call. There’s nothing bad about it.
After the massage, Ash roughly understood the whole thing. The mastermind was a housekeeper named Sarah Terrell who was about thirty years old. Sixteen people were involved, almost half of the servants in the mansion.
After Ash left the Snider family, she contacted a friend to investigate Sarah soon.
“Vanessa, let’s meet with the project managers in the conference room later.” Ash had just remembered the employees‘ names and roughly understood the projects in Funtime Games.
Vanessa looked indifferent as she said, “How long will it take? We don’t have meetings a lot. Can you finish it in half an hour?”
For a time, those words made Ash think she was the old pedantic who liked to argue in meetings.
Ash said calmly, “We’ll brief the goals at the present stage. If they cooperate well, it will be over in ten minutes. But it might take long if they don’t know their goals. Don’t worry. I don’t have the time to waste on meetings.”
So far, Ash thought she was still on good terms with Vanessa. However, Vanessa was indeed as cold as Lachlan had said.
In the conference room, Ash looked around and saw only eight people. “Is Amy not here? Why don’t I see her?”
Everyone was surprised. After all, it was Ash’s second day at work there. They all thought she was just a rich young lady who came there to have fun on the spur of the moment and could not remember the staff’s names or anything.
Moreover, the employee, Amy, whom Ash had mentioned, was only a project assistant, not a very important position.
The meeting room was silent for a while, but no one answered.
Ash raised her eyebrows. The faint smile on her face had completely turned cold. “Can I take it that you’re unanimously going against me?
“I know you don’t think I deserve to be in this position. I got appointed by my family. I’m a woman. You might think I’m only a pretty girl who’s good at nothing. It doesn’t matter. I’m okay with you guys thinking of me that way.
“But even so, I hope you can be clear that I’m now the general manager of this company, your boss, and the your salary.

“Next, one representative from each project team will speak. In five minutes, you will talk about the current goals of your teams. Let’s end this quickly and not waste everyone’s time.”
Ash pulled out the chair in the middle and sat down. The cold aura around her gave everyone an invisible pressure. Beside her, there was a hint of admiration in Vanessa’s eyes.

There were a total of six project teams. The meeting ended half an hour later. Ash’s expression did not brighten up even after the meeting. All the projects had good intentions but turned out to be a mess.
In the end, only Ash and Vanessa were left in the conference room.
Vanessa’s voice was cold and clear as she pushed aside the paper she had just jotted down. “What do you have in mind?”
“The organizational structure is a mess, the distribution of work is uncoordinated, and the main direction is unconfirmed.” Ash pinched the space between her eyebrows, knowing it was a tough battle.
But Ash had some traces of the company’s past glory. For example, the intention of all the projects was something ordinary companies could not achieve.
She pondered for a few seconds. “We have to divide the segments later. How can we only focus on women? The male segment of the game is too weak.
“Currently, the gaming community is divided too clearly. Many games are not for men or women only.” Ash was indeed disappointed with the current state.
Vanessa could not deny that Ash was indeed capable. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ash to have such a direct evaluation.
Ash nodded. “At this stage, we can focus on Otome games and games about fighting and working together. I’ll draft a plan for the general direction and send it to the group. After all, we have to do the performance assessment.”
Ash didn’t want to stress the employees out, but with their lazy attitude toward work, the company would go bankrupt at any time if they didn’t do the performance assessment.
Vanessa had a different opinion. “We can start working on large–scale games, but not everyone likes to play large games.
“We can also develop small games in three to five minutes. Also, we need to invest and promote. Let’s forget about celebrity endorsements for the time being. We can find other ways to promote.”
Ash nodded thoughtfully and looked up at Vanessa. “Vanessa, do you have some good plans? If you do, share them now.
“Our goal for this quarter is nothing else. At the very least, we will no longer have any negative profits. If the number of followers on the official website can increase by about ten thousand, that’s enough. I can apply for the fund from the headquarters.” Ash would not give up just like that. The more challenging it was, the more she wanted to do it.
Vanessa was hesitating. At that time, she had only slightly changed her opinion of Ash, but she still had to be more sure if Ash was reliable.
Seeing Vanessa was silent, Ash roughly understood. There was a faint smile on her lips. “I know you still don’t believe me. I don’t need too much time. Two weeks. Give me two weeks. If this place is still so chaotic, I will resign.”
“Alright, I’ll email you the edited plan and look forward to your demonstration in the monthly report in two weeks.” Vanessa finally let down her guard a little and got up to leave.
Ash leaned back slightly. “If you can’t let down your guard against me in the future, I’d like to hear how you came here.”
“Ms. Turner, has anyone ever told you this? Curiosity kills the cat. Sometimes, knowing too much does you no good.” Vanessa glanced at Ash indifferently.
“Oh,” Ash replied calmly. However, she loved to be curious and gossipy. “It’s okay. I’m not afraid. Funtime Games will get better soon. After all, we are working together.”
“Nice working with you, Vanessa.” Ash raised her eyebrows, and a bright smile appeared on her cold yet beautiful face.
