Chapter 371 Olivia’s Thoughts

After Sophia knew what Viscount Cliff meant, her inner worries about Olivia became even more serious.

Olivia...does have a certain weakness. Is it really useful for Viscount Cliff to force her with such forceful means?

She knocked on Olivia's study door and saw that Olivia was already doing her work as usual.

She shouldn't have asked in the first place. Caring about the specific work of Viscount Cliff and Olivia was not part of her job scope, and she would not be held accountable for her small overstepping.

"What are you busy with?" Sophia asked, walking closer to the desk, putting down a new cup of black tea, and casually glanced at Olivia's desk.

A piece of white paper full of names, with notes and comments behind the names, such as: Not available, only following mother's orders, other arrangements... and so on.

Olivia thanked Sophia, took a sip of black tea and said, "I'm looking for the manager of the glasses factory."

Sophia also knew about the opening of the glasses factory. She said strangely: "Isn't the factory already in operation? Why do we still need to recruit managers?"

Making glasses does bring huge profits. A pair of metal or wood frames with two crystal-polished lenses can make people's blurred vision clearer and add a few changes to the appearance.

Everyone who got the glasses gave unanimous praise, and the money was also given very generously and readily.

The cost of glasses is mainly concentrated on the white crystal used to make the lenses, but white crystal is not a rare item, and the white crystal jewelry used by nobles is often found to be cheap.

It can be said that it is low cost and high return.

Olivia said slowly: "Mr. Durant is only willing to work for three months, so I have to find a suitable manager to take over the factory within three months."

"Absurd," Sophia couldn't help frowning and scolding, "How could you allow such a thing?"

It is obviously very irresponsible for someone to give up after three months of working. Sophia couldn't understand why Olivia would agree to do this.

Olivia explained: "Mr. Durant is the person Nanno relies on, and being the manager of the factory is too unqualified for him."

Nannuo doesn't have many things to do now, so Durant and Durant are also free. With Durant's ability, it is very easy to lay a good start for the factory. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so set all the rules at the beginning.

, there will be a general process in the future, but Durant cannot be limited to this small factory.

Durant has an unruly temperament, and not even Nanno can completely suppress him.

"Then why was he asked to be the manager of the factory in the first place?" Sophia wondered, "Is there no one available in Cliff City?"

Olivia was silent for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "It's not that there is no one available in Cliff City, it's that I have no one available."

Of course Sophia did not agree with this sentence: "How could it be possible? All the members of the Cliff family are willing to serve you."

The dependents of the Cliff family... Olivia chewed this word repeatedly and asked bitterly: "If my surname is not Cliff, then do I still order them to be touched?"

Why should we assume this question? Sophia said without hesitation: "This kind of thing is impossible. If you are born with the surname Cliff, they should be loyal to you."

"But look," Olivia picked up the piece of paper on the table and showed it to Sophia, "among the relatives of the Cliff family, everyone I selected told me,

If you want them to be the managers of the factory, just bring out the transfer order personally issued by Viscount Cliff."

This requirement is understandable, and can even be said to be a matter of course, but the transfer of positions is not just a transfer order from superiors to subordinates, and it is not impossible for subordinates to apply to their superiors, but no one is willing to apply.

It seems that he is respectful to Olivia, but in fact he does not obey Olivia's orders.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. After all, Olivia is confirmed as the heir to Viscount Cliff. There are many people willing to please and flatter her. If this happens, there must be someone more powerful than Olivia.

Someone with authority has said hello in advance.

This person can be none other than Viscount Cliff.

Now Olivia can be said to be isolated and helpless.

This is all the work of Viscount Cliff.

Viscount Cliff was not unaware of Olivia's recent awkward mood and was indifferent, but she just went with the flow and directly turned this anger into a dilemma used to test Olivia.

Although the method is said to be brilliant, it still makes people feel cold and indifferent.

"If there is no transfer order, then just apply for a transfer order." Sophia has no contact with foreign affairs, and she did not realize that this situation was wrong.

Olivia shook her head. She walked to the window, took off her glasses, looked into the distance, and relaxed her eyes.

"Nannuo has his own cronies. Even if he is no longer the heir, Mr. Durant is still by his side. If my surname is not Cliff, will anyone follow me like Mr. Durant?"

Olivia spoke as if she was asking Sophia, and also seemed to be asking herself.

Before Sophia could answer, Olivia had already concluded: "No one, not even the researchers at the manor who have had the most contact with me, will not give up my mother and choose me, because

Their research funding is entirely provided by their mother."

Sophia had a headache: "Why should I choose between you and His Excellency the Viscount? You two are one."

But didn't they just make a choice now? Olivia didn't say this because Sophia couldn't understand it.

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Olivia continued without talking about this topic. She thought for a moment, "Go and ask someone to give me the information on all the merchants in Cliff City."

Sophia frowned and asked: "Businessmen? Why do you want their information?"

"Since the Cliff family members are not willing to be the managers of the factory, of course I have to find someone else." And this "other person" should preferably be someone whom Viscount Cliff cannot control.

Sophia was not very willing: "But His Excellency the Viscount said: Businessmen can cooperate, but they cannot be reused. The manager of the factory...isn't it..."

Viscount Cliff really doesn't like the style of businessmen, especially big businessmen. In her eyes, businessmen are no different from gamblers. If you win the bet, you will get rich overnight, if you lose the bet, you will lose everything. She doesn't like this very much.

He has unstable characteristics, so he doesn't like businessmen very much.

But she also had to admit that the existence of merchants was necessary. At least they provided the circulation of goods and the exchange of news.

Therefore, Viscount Cliff's attitude towards businessmen has always been to only cooperate but not to have deep friendships. Olivia originally also had this attitude, but now she has no one to help her, so she can only take the wrong approach.
