Chapter 842
"For you, I'm just an ordinary formula maker. But have you ever thought that we also took step by step, painstakingly, to get here? When you rich second generations were having fun in clubs, we were still in the lab at midnight; when you were playing ball or fishing at sea, we were at home studying hard." Laura's eyes turned red as she spoke.
"Do you understand how desperate I was when you blocked me back then? It just happened to coincide with Nathan's incident. When I went out to the grocery, I got egged by people. I couldn't find a job and couldn't even stay in the country. So I had to go abroad. Being a newcomer abroad, I was looked down upon by others. I didn't even go back to my apartment every day. I spent 360 out of 365 days in the lab, and there were several times when I passed out directly. Twice, I lay on the cold ground all night, and it was when I woke up that I went to the hospital. I thought about giving up, but I just wanted to prove myself, to regain that lost dignity," she yelled out in despair.
The more Laura thought about it, the more bitter she felt, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't cry." Michael sighed.
Michael felt a twinge of guilt at first, but seeing Laura cry made him even more at a loss.
It made Michael feel like he had truly become a heartless villain.
"I'm sad and upset. Can't I cry?" Large roared, and her tears rolled down Laura's cheeks.
But as they say, even when a person cries a lot if they were beautiful, it's still beautiful; it even gave a feeling of rain hitting roses.
"Okay. Go ahead and cry." Michael quieted down after being scolded.
"Michael, you're so heartless. I'm crying like this, and you don't even know how to comfort me. No wonder you can't find a girlfriend," Laura rebutted and threw the tissue for wiping tears at Michael.
"Laura, you're being a bit unreasonable!" Michael retorted, and he was quite frustrated.
"Women are inherently unreasonable!" she then called out. Sniffling, her delicate face, now tinged with tears, looked even more radiant.
Michael inexplicably felt moved watching Laura's good skin. Even after crying, she still looked cute.
"I've made up my mind. We can cooperate." Suddenly, Laura said, "One formula, fifteen million dollars, and I also want ten percent of Ocean Blue Group's shares. Ocean Blue Group must invest thirty million annually in developing new products, and I want to be the director of Ocean Blue Group's research and development department."
Michael was shocked, saying, "Everything else is fine. But asking for ten percent of the shares is a bit greedy."
"So think it over yourself. If you don't cooperate with me, I'll choose SE. Even if negative rumors surround SE, I'll still make money if there's money to be made. Secondly, you need to understand my abilities. A genius formula maker like me is hard to come by. Whether you can seize the opportunity is up to you," she then stated.
Laura sniffed and elegantly started eating her steak. Her behavior made Michael wonder if Laura's crying just now was an illusion.
After dinner, Michael left, but he was thinking about the conditions Laura had set, rushing to the company for a meeting as soon as he stepped out.
It wasn't until eleven at night that Megan called, and Michael suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to go to the hospital to see Megan.
"I'm sorry, Megan. I was busy in a meeting just now. It wasn't intentional," he then apologized.
