"I've got the formulas!" Matthew made his entrance into the conference room, and everyone proceeded to look at him.
Among them all, Rachel was the most delighted and immediately stood up to welcome Matthew. "I just knew you'd be able to retrieve them!"
Meanwhile, Richard and the other executives stared at Matthew in surprise. Their formulas had been stolen by those people, and the same went for several other pharmaceutical factories, but they had never once been able to get their formulas back.
However, Matthew had managed to retrieve the formulas for them—it was absolutely incredible!
Just then, Matthew placed the box he was carrying on the table and said, "All of the formulas are in here."
Rachel opened the box and took a peak, saying, "That's a lot."
Then, Richard stood up and stretched forward to take a look, but he was quickly met with disappointment and shook his head.
"You could just tell us the truth if you didn't manage to retrieve the formulas. You don't have to make a show out of all these useless documents and pretend that they're Silvaris Pharmaceuticals' formulas."
There were only a handful of formulas owned by Silvaris Pharmaceuticals, so even if they were to include the documents for their production method, it wouldn't fill even a third of the box. Yet, this box was full of papers—so much so that it seemed a little exaggerated.
Matthew never expected Richard to be skeptical, so he pointed to the box of formulas and said, "Every single one of them is a formula, and they're all worth thousands of gold. Get your facts straight before you talk shit!"
Having heard that, Richard's face darkened. After all, he was a factory director whose words were absolute. Yet, Matthew had said that he was talking shit, which hit his pride.
Richard then said, "Watch your tone, Matthew. Technically speaking, I am the director of Silvaris Pharmaceuticals, and I am older than you as well, so shouldn't you be showing me some respect?
"I understand that you're eager to prove yourself and that you want to take credit for something, but that doesn't mean that you can fake the formulas with these useless documents."
