Chapter 238
Melody could tell from Tun’s expression that he did not care how long she had been out.
After calming down, her gaze fell on the long table in the lounge.
It was filled with a dazzling array of snacks, and there were even the best–selling crayfish of the season.
She couldn’t help but frown. As expected, Tim has ulterior motives. We only have seven days left before the betting ends. Not only does he not seize the time to develop a new product, but he also wastes his time on afternoon snacks. If Tim wants to win the bet, he probably won’t even be able to sleep, let alone eat afternoon snacks.
Melody narrowed her eyes coldly and said indifferently. “No need. I’m not hungry,”
As she spoke, she carried the herbs and walked toward the backup research and development room.
Tim shouted hypocritically at her back, “Miss Fox, you can do it. If you’re hungry, come out and eat at any time. Although work is important, your body can’t collapse. Our company needs you!”
Melody knew that Tim was openly mocking her, but she could not be bothered to argue with him.
There was no benefit in arguing with Tim even if she wen. She might as well hurry up and start developing new products.
Without looking back, she quickened her pace and left
Tim only thought that Melody had admitted defeat. He sneered in disdain and turned to tell the researchers. “Everyone, please help yourself!” Some researchers were impatient and could not help but say, “Mr. Mayer, we still have a lot of work to do. We’d better forget about the stacks first”
“That’s right, we only have seven days.” someone echord
Tim waved his arm and said, “Good health is necessary for work. How can you develop new products if you don’t eat more to get more energy! I can’t let you say that I exploited you so much that your body broke down and didn’t develop a new product. Stop talking and eat hard. No one can work until you finish these things!”
The employees sighed in their hears but dared not openly go against Tim. They could only bury their heads and eat.
Some began to complain abour Melody.
be in such a hurry.
“That woman just now is the person who betted with Silk Beauty Cosmetics, right! If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t be
“Yes, it’s her! I heard from others that she also wants a backup laboratory and is developing a new product alone! Isn’t this a joke? We’re so busy here. It’s fine if she doesn’t help, but she still has to fight alone. I don’t know what she’s thinking!”
“Forget it. She’ll only be a hindrance if she helps. I heard from Mr. Mayer that she’s a country bumpkin who doesn’t know anything. She can’t do anything at all. It’s a good thing that she doesn’t interfere
Everyone sighed and did not dare to flare up at Tim. They could only scold Melody,
Hearing these words, Tim immediately felt even more smug
Firstly, Melody doesn’t have the ability. Secondly, she has lost the support of the people under my influence. Now, she has no advantage. She can’t develop a new product! At the thought of this, Tim could not be bothered to keep an eye on what Melody was doing. He put on disposable gloves and started peeling crayfish.
“Oh, this crayfish is so yummy! I like super spicy ones!” said Tim
In the spare laboratory.
Without Tim’s interruption, Melody could not ask for more.
She quickly cleaned up the laboratory and began to check the various instruments
The good news was that a lot of the equipment in the spare lab was new, but the bad news was she lacked a necessary instrument. She couldn’t do anything without that.
However, that instrument was an imported product. Even if Melody placed the order now, it would take at least five days to arrive
After thinking about it, Melody logged into the black market forum and posted a bounty post
As soon as the post was posted, someone took the order.

Melody hurriedly opened the dialog box and contacted the person who took the order. [Are you in Silverlake? How new is the instrument?]
The other party quickly replied: [it’s brand new, I work at the customs warehouse in Silverlake, The items are confiscated. If you want them, come at midnight tonight, and I’ll hand them to you in person.]
Melody was indeed in a hurry to use the instrument. She thought for a moment and replied with an “OK”
The other party quickly sent an address, It was near the customs warehouse.
With the equipment, the thing is more than half successful Melody heaved a sigh of relief and began to sort the herbs
Although she and Quentin had written the final formula, the ratio was not detailed. She had to experiment with different proportions until the picked the right one.
However, without that instrument, she could only operate many things manually, so the progress was naturally much slower.
is a knock on the door of the spare laboratory.
When the sky turned completely dark, there was a
“Miss Fox, are you still working overtime?” Tim walked in with his typical smile. He looked around the laboratory and finally looked at Melody. He asked, “How’s the progress. Miss Fox!”
Melody met Tim’s gaze expressionlessly and said, “Mr. Mayer, what’s the matter?”
Tim’s smile deepened. I’m here to remind you that I’m getting off work. After work, the R&D department will lock the door. I’m afraid you don’t know this rule, so I specially came to remind you.”
“Blackout?” Melody frowned and looked at the time. It’s only seven o’clock, and it’s a special time. Why are you off work so early?”
Tim shrugged. “Miss Fox. Ever since an employee in this area died from working overtime, the higher–ups have been investigating all the companies very strictly. We can’t stay in the company after seven o’clock. You shouldn’t make things difficult for me.
“Why haven’t I heard of this rule?” Melody asked.
Tim shrugged. “Then you can choose not to leave. I’ll open the door at eight o’clock tomorrow.”
Melody’s eyes darkened. Tim, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Aren’t you afraid Wilmot will fire you first when he returns)
Tim smiled faintly. “Mr. Wilmot is sick, Mr. Leo is in charge of the company now. You can tell him tomorrow and ask him to fire me if you don’t like me.”
Melody’s cold gaze landed on Tim. Her gaze was like a knife, making Tim’s back turn cold.
He could not help but frown and ask, “Are you leaving or not? If not, Ill lock the door!”
T
“I’m leaving” Melody loosened her fists and told herself. You can’t be hasty. Tim and Leo’s punishment will come soont
She pursed her lips coldly and quickly packed her things before walking out of the door.
Only then did Tun smile again. That’s the right thing to do, Miss Fox. You have to alternate work with rest to do your job better”
Melody could not be bothered with Tim. She changed the password for the lock of the laboratory and strode away.
Seeing this scene. Tim inrered “Miss Tos, are you afraid that I’ll go in and steal something! Don’t forget that I’m in charge of this floor. Let me
I wont enter your laboratory because there’s no need for thu Who would care about something imposable
