Chapter 578 Utter Nonsense.
Lysander turned away. “Yes, but I feel like I’m dispensable.”

“Lysander, this world is results–oriented. As long as the final outcome is good, all previous proposals are visionary, and all reforms are forward–thinking. As long as you are sure it’s the right thing to do, just wait for time to provide the answers. When the company’s financial report for next quarter comes out, these people will naturally be silenced.”
Lysander bit her lip, remaining silent.
Josiah looked at her stubborn little face and felt his heart soften. “Okay, let’s go. We’ll have our meal first.”
Lysander took the opportunity to push him away slightly. “It’s a public place, keep your distance.”
“But after we go home, it’s a private setting. Can I be closer then?”
The two whispered to each other. Everyone in the conference room witnessed it, especially Rowan and Herbert sitting closest to them.
Rowan was a bit confused and asked Herbert in a low voice, “Mr. Castillo, Mr. Guerra just said they’re not siblings, but now they seem quite close. What’s going on?”
Herbert, being younger, had already figured it out.
He pushed his glasses up and snorted. “Who knows.”
Rowan’s anger flared up again, and he raised his voice to question, “Ms. Thorne, there are dozens of u here. If everyone waits for you for half an hour, that’s dozens of hours wasted. Are we all supposed to wait for you to finish eating? We’re all hungry here!”
His words made sense to Lysander, so she nodded. “Let’s continue the meeting.”
“Let’s eat while we continue the meeting.” Josiah intervened. “Everyone, feel free to speak up. Since I’m here today, I can also listen in.”
As he spoke, he opened the lunchbox, laying out the dishes one by one.
Then he took out Lysander’s cutlery and handed them to her. “Eat, it won’t delay the meeting.”
Lysander was caught in a predicament.
Eating in the conference room?
She wasn’t foolish.
The company’s regulations clearly stated that even when no meetings were in session, food was not allowed in the conference room. Let alone now, when the most crucial management meeting was taking place!
“Eat. Why aren’t you eating?” Seeing her not taking the fork, Josiah held it in his own hand and picked up a piece of sauteed spinach, offering it to her lips. “Do you want me to feed you?”
Lysander glared at him fiercely.

Josiah said. “Open up.”
She said nothing.
“Hurry up.”

The spinach had already touched her lips, and Lysander had no choice but to quickly open her mouth and bite down on the vegetable, using her hand to cover her mouth and nose as she chewed.
Before she could swallow, Josiah picked up a shrimp and offered it to her. “This is high in protein. The nutritionist specifically instructed you to cat more now to supplement protein.”
Lysander quickly swallowed and then took the shrimp into her mouth. “Okay, that’s enough. Let’s continue the meeting.
“You can’t eat so little.”
Lysander was already extremely embarrassed. She pinched him under the table. “I said, I’ve had enough.”
“Ouch! Why did you pinch me?” Josiah exclaimed in pain.
Lysander was exasperated. She hadn’t used much force at all. How could he be in so much pain?
“Are you really full?” Josiah asked.
“Yes” Lysander said seriously, “Sorry, let’s continue the meeting.”
“Sure, you guys go ahead,” Josiah said.
Lysander took a deep breath, finally ending the ordeal.
At this point, her tensed heart relaxed slightly. Lysander continued to focus on introducing the most important parts of the proposal without distraction.
“I’ve reviewed the data in the quotation form, and the parts that need correction have been marked. If anyone still wants to contribute to the project, please take a close look.”
With that, she handed the printed materials to the employee presiding over the meeting, indicating for them to distribute the materials.
The employee was stunned by Josiah’s appearance and didn’t even recall the supervisor’s instructions. They just obediently followed Lysander’s orders.
When they received the materials, everyone’s faces looked grim.
Lysander was already being nice. Otherwise, she could have publicly exposed the loopholes in the plan. She continued, “Apart from the marketing assistant that was reassigned just now, we also need professionals in the project team, Before winning the bid, I need some time for the inspection.”
She added, “Also, it’s a crucial time for Thorne Constructions and Energies. Some formalities need to change. The position of vice president seems to have been vacant for a while. During the time between Mr. Guerra stepping down and me Taking over, Mr. Cobb handled all matters, no matter big or small.”
Rowan’s alarm bells were ringing loudly.

Lysander looked at him calmly and said, “You’ve really had it tough lately, handling so much all by yourself
Rowan forced a smile. “It’s nothing. I’m just doing my job.”
Lysander wasn’t buying it. She insisted, “Now the most important thing for the company is to secure the project. Let’s have the head of the marketing department help you with some of the tasks for now. We’ll confirm the position of the vice president after things settle down.”
The camp of united enemies was divided by her casual remarks.
Seeing Rowan at a disadvantage, the rest dared not speak up. They could only reluctantly accept arrangement.
her
Josiah took the lead in applauding Lysander’s decision. “Ms. Thorne’s words makes sense. Mr. Cobb has worked tirelessly for Thorne Constructions and Energies for years. It’s time for him to take a break.”
Rowan’s face turned pale, full of confusion.
The others had no choice but to follow suit and express their approval of Lysander’s arrangements.
Clapping his hands while observing Josiah and Lysander, Herbert curled his lips knowingly.
Oh, I see.
He wasn’t as foolish as Rowan. Clearly, Josiah had romantic feelings for Lysander. There was no sibling relationship involved.
When the presentation of the proposal was over, it was time for representatives from various departments to report.
Everyone had just been dealt a blow and was absent–minded. However, due to the sudden appearance of Josiah, they dared not to appear too perfunctory.
One by one, they spoke.
Lysander just did what she needed to do, unaffected.
She recorded what she found reasonable and asked questions to clarify what she didn’t understand.
When it was Herbert’s turn to speak, Rowan pulled his sleeve secretly. “Don’t give this girl any face. I wasn’t prepared just now and fell for her trap. You need to avenge us senior employees!”
Herbert chuckled.
Given Josiah’s current reaction, he wouldn’t dare to offend Lysander.
