Chapter 1302 Walter handed Quinn last month's data report and broke it down, "So, these two projects kicked off the year before last and went live last year. But the growth rate's been pretty much stuck. Last quarter was 40%, and this quarter, sdeal. Last year, it hovered between 35% and 40%." Quinn's head spun from all the numbers. "Is there a problem?" she asked.
Walter nodded. "Oh, for sure. Check out the material wastage and cost accounting at the back. They're creeping up month by month. It might not seem like much each month, but if you look at it from last year, it's already 10% higher than the first profitable month last year." "Maybe the project manager was just testing the waters at first. Then he saw no one cared, so he jacked up the costs every month," Walter speculated.
"Isn't cost growth normal?" Quinn asked, still not getting it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWalter rubbed his temples and sighed. "Look, you paid $20,000 to hireas an assistant. Isn't that worth it?" Quinn suddenly remembered she was discussing the project with him. Snatching the file away, she snapped, "Go mop the floor. I don't need you here!" Ignoring her, Walter continued, "Market fluctuations are normal. Sometimes they're low, sometimes high. They can spike or drop suddenly. But this kind of steady increase? That's a first for me." Closing the file, Quinn ordered, "Go mop the floor!" Unfazed, Walter said, "Why the rush? The floor can wait. But there's one thing you need to remember: business can't be run on emotions. You need to learn to use people and recognize their value. Even if you don't like someone, if they can bring you profit, you use them. Didn't Alexander teach you that?" Quinn's face darkened, and she didn't want to talk to him.
Walter grabbed a broom from the side, really intending to go sweep the floor. Before leaving, he turned back to Quinn and said, "Think about it." Quinn didn't say anything.
Walter went out with the broom and started sweeping the hallway.
Quinn pondered his words and found she couldn't argue with them.
Walter was indeed very persuasive; otherwise, Alexander wouldn't have partnered with him before.
When Kyle arrived, he saw Walter sweeping the floor and was a bit surprised.
"Mr. Smith, why are you sweeping the floor?" Kyle asked, a hint of mockery in his voice.
Walter, as if not hearing his sarcastic tone, smiled and said, "Quinn's orders. Gotta follow 'em." Kyle looked him up and down suspiciously. "What are you up to?" "Take a guess," Walter said with a knowing look.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKyle didn't bother guessing. Walter was earning $20,000 and chere to be an assistant. He definitely had ulterior motives. "Well, you better sweep it clean," Kyle said.
After saying that, he deliberately stepped over Walter's broom and walked towards Quinn's office.
Quinn was still studying the data Walter had given her. When she saw Kyle cin she immediately ein, showed him the documents. "Kyle, take a look at this," she said. Kyle took the file and flipped through it, then looked up at Quinn. "What's up?"
Quinn repeated what Walter had said.
Kyle looked through the documents more carefully, his expression becoming serious. "It's true. You're amazing. How did you find out?" Kyle asked, surprised.
The company had too many operations, and he couldn't look at every piece of data in such detail, let alone compare each quarter. If Quinn hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have noticed the problem. Quinn was also a bit surprised. So, Walter hadn't lied. What exactly was he up to?
