From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 427 Making a Supergirl an Assistant
Nashville is bustling lately.

First, a supergirl emerged and became the city's superhero, and then a new company was established.

In the United States, new companies are established every day, so this is not news. But this company is a little different.

Because he invented a technology that covered the era: holographic communication technology.

Holographic technology has existed for a long time and has been used in various fields, but it has not been popularized by the general public. The main reason is that the cost is too high. However, a company called Umbrella has developed a new technology that has significantly reduced the cost of holography and integrated it with modern communication technology to achieve holographic three-dimensional communication technology. In fact, in order to promote this technology, they have even designed a new type of mobile phone.

In addition, the company has a strong background, and the product caused a huge sensation as soon as it was launched. It sold out in a short time. If it weren't for the limited production capacity, the sales would probably be close to that of the fruit machine. For a time, even in Nasino City, the popularity of the Umbrella Corporation surpassed the shock brought by Supergirl.

Kate deserves much credit for achieving this; after all, she is the head of a super media company, wielding publicity resources that are unimaginable to others.

Disruptive technology, high cost-performance ratio, high publicity...

All these factors combined made the newly established Umbrella Corporation an instant hot unicorn company...

What exactly are you thinking?

At the Kateco Global Media Building, inside the Umbrella Corporation, Kate glared fiercely at Kevin. "We need to expand production capacity now, we need..."

“You only own 1.5…” Sitting in his chair, Kevin looked at Kate, who was pacing back and forth in front of her desk with a puzzled expression, looking anxious and disappointed. “You only own 1.5 of the shares, why do you act like you’re the owner of this company?”

“You…” Kate’s voice trailed off. Standing to the side, Karadanfoss looked at Kevin with admiration. She really wanted to learn how to shut down her boss with just one sentence.

“Kate, do you know what your biggest problem is?” Kevin rubbed his temples, looking at Kate who seemed to want to kill him with her gaze. “You take everything too seriously, putting a lot of pressure on others, you know that?”

"This is a sense of responsibility, understand? A sense of responsibility. A playboy like you will never understand what responsibility is!" Kate paused for a moment, then said coldly to Kevin.

"Alright, let's stop pointing fingers at each other..." Kevin said helplessly. To be honest, Kate played a huge role in making Umbrella Company successful in just one month. She handled everything from patent applications and company registration to employee recruitment, financial management, and all kinds of daily affairs. Kevin admired this strong woman's decisiveness, but she was a bit too domineering. Maybe that's why she was dumped by men.

"The company's production capacity is a big problem, but it's not important. We can just find a few more contract manufacturers. The current contract manufacturers are in Southeast Asia, where the production efficiency is too low. Let's go to the East and take a look. The industrial capacity there is very strong, and the market is huge."

"Eastern Country?!" Kate nearly jumped up upon hearing this. "Don't you know there's a trade war going on right now?!"

"This cheap technology is just low-cost and works well with existing communication technologies; it doesn't involve any key or sensitive technologies," Kevin said nonchalantly. "I'm not the president; what do I care about a trade war? It's settled then. We'll find a manufacturer in the East to produce our phones." Seeing Kate's reluctance, he emphasized again, "1.5. You only have 1.5% of the shares; I have 98.5%. I'm the absolute majority shareholder. Do as I say."

"boom!"

Kate slammed her hand on the table. "I quit!"

After that, he turned around and left.

"Add another one percent."

Just as Kate stormed to the door, Kevin finally spoke, "Also, from now on, you are the company's CEO, with an annual salary based on the company's performance, starting at ten million...!"

Kate stopped and turned to look at Kevin. "I want decision-making power in the company!" she said. "You have some decision-making power, but the final decision rests with me," Kevin replied. "And I want her too!"

He pointed to Karen Danforth, "The fact that she can be your assistant and satisfy you shows that her abilities far exceed those of an average assistant. I need an assistant to help me manage the company's affairs, and I think she is very suitable."

Kara looked bewildered. "I was just watching the show, how did it suddenly become my own problem?"
Assistant? Me?

Although being recognized by others is a very happy thing, this happened so suddenly that she was a little overwhelmed.

“Kevin, this is Nashville, not Chicago. Nobody will tolerate your bad habits!” Kate’s expression suddenly turned stern.

Okay, this is the predecessor's fault, and he has to take the blame.

"Kate, it seems you've really misunderstood me," Kevin laughed. "I only value her abilities, nothing more. Besides, I've been in Nashino for over a month now, have you seen me messing around with anyone?!"

Kate paused, recalling the past month's events. Although this guy was lazy and dumped everything on her, he wasn't acting like he used to in Chicago, messing around like that. In fact, he hadn't had a woman around him for the past month. It seemed like he'd really changed. Could it be…?

Kate's thoughts began to wander, and then she looked at him strangely, "Kevin, you wouldn't happen to be...!"

"No!" Kevin's face immediately darkened. Although he didn't know exactly what Kate was thinking, he knew it was definitely not a friendly guess, and he immediately denied it outright.

Seeing Kevin's reaction, Kate laughed triumphantly, "Oh, poor Kevin, I didn't say anything."

"Let's leave this topic at that." Kevin glared at her fiercely. This kind of thing was hard to prove, so he could only swallow his anger.

"Okay, so you want Kara to be your assistant? That's pointless. I'm the CEO of the company now, and she's my assistant. It's no different from before."

“There’s a difference. I have other things for her to do, so she can’t always be by your side serving you,” Kevin said seriously. “You don’t really think I’m trying to keep Umbrella Corporation afloat with just holographic communication technology, do you?”

"Huh?!" Kate exclaimed in surprise, staring at Kevin for a long while before saying, "Although you've been very smart since you were little, and you got into MIT with your own cleverness, you're not a genius. Could it be that you've created something else besides this holographic communication system? That doesn't make sense. Kevin, tell me honestly, did you obtain some remnant from an alien civilization?!"

On this Earth, due to the intrusion of aliens, there are quite a few relics left by extraterrestrial civilizations. Through reverse engineering, these relics have also promoted the progress of science in this world. However, these relics are a double-edged sword. Some people have made a fortune from them, while others have caused a lot of trouble. Kevin's current situation is very similar to that of someone who has obtained relics from extraterrestrial civilizations and thus gained some benefits.

"I'm a genius by nature. The reason you can't see it is simply because I disdain dealing with mortals like you." Kevin curled his lip. "I do need an assistant to carry out my plans now, so what's your decision?!"

Kate gave Kevin a deep look and said, "This is not something I can decide. Although Carla is my assistant, whether or not she wants to change jobs is her own decision."

At this point, she glanced at Kara, who seemed at a loss, and said, "My advice is that this guy must have obtained some amazing technology and successfully reverse-engineered it. You should have a bright future working for him. However, if he tries anything funny or has any bad intentions, you can kick his balls and then come back to be my assistant."

“Uh… I’ll think about it,” Kara said hesitantly.

“Okay, be at my apartment at nine o’clock sharp tomorrow morning, and I’ll tell you what to do,” Kevin said. “It relates to another product of the company.”

Carla glanced at Kate, but seeing that she didn't say anything, she could only reluctantly say, "Okay."
