Chapter 55 The Difficulty Faced by The Company The warm morning sun shone into the room. Zachary woke up in a daze and felt something soft under his body. He turned over instinctively and almost jumped up in shock when he opened his eyes, his drowsiness disappearing in an instant. He was lying on Lauren's big soft bed at the moment. A faint perfwafted into his nose from the pillows on the bed.
"Why am I sleeping here? Was the effect of aphrodisiac not completely cleared last night? But, I don't feel anything!" Zachary was shocked and confused. He lifted the blanket and scanned his body to confirm if anything happened last night. But, there were no traces.
The door was pushed open with a squeaking sound at this moment.
Zachary was surprised. He tucked himself under the blanket and pretended to be asleep. He really didn't know how to explain to Lauren why he was sleeping on her bed.

There was a squeaking sound coming from the door again as soon as Lauren finished speaking. It seemed that she had left.
Hearing this, Zachary let out a long sigh of relief. He rolled over from the bed and opened his eyes.
He nearly jumped up when he opened his eyes.
Lauren was bending down and looking at him with a smile. He could even vaguely see the cleavage of her breasts.
"Zach, you've finally woken up!" Lauren had a charming smile on her face.
"Yea, I just woke up!" Zachary said awkwardly. He looked at the bedside and did not find his clothes. "Sister Lim, I..." He wanted to explain that he didn't mean anything else, but it was not convincing enough as he was still lying on Lauren's bed.
"What do you want to say? Last night, you..." Lauren said softly. Tears were welling up within her eyes, looking as if she had been wronged.
Zachary was taken aback. He secretly thought, "Did I really do something to her last night?" "Sister Lim, please don't cry. I will be responsible for what I have done. I will marry you immediately if you agree!" He went all out and promised Lauren while patting on his chest.
"Marry me?" Lauren looked surprised. She rolled her eyes, "Zach, what are you thinking? You fell asleep on the sofa last night. So, I moved you into my room when I got up in the morning." "Oh, I see! So nothing happened last night..." Zachary was stunned.
"Of course nothing had happened. But you seem to be looking forward to something! Do you wantto fulfill your wish now?" Lauren raised her eyebrows as she bent her body even more. The cleavage of her fair breasts was more obvious now.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore," As Zachary blushed bright red with embarrassment, Lauren laughed. "Get up now. Breakfast is ready." Zachary put on his clothes hurriedly after Lauren went out. He walked to the dining room after washing up. There were gruel, green vegetables, and a small dish of pickles on the table. Although it looked simple, his appetite increased when he smelt the aroma.
After having breakfast, Zachary helped to wash the bowls and chopsticks. He sat down in the living room and chatted with Lauren.
After a brief talk about their company, Zachary looked at Lauren and asked hesitantly, "Sister Lim, why were you in touch with Vernon? Last night, at the hotel..."

Lauren turned resentful after hearing this. "It's all because of you. It seems that you're quite free recently, but there are many things going on in the company. Although we can start the production now, there's another huge problem that has not been solved yet." "What's the problem?" "It's about the raw materials!" Lauren sighed softly, "For Western pharmaceutical companies like Huang Group, the raw materials are basically schemical substances which are suitable for mass production. They can be made by chemical methods, and we can buy them directly. However, our health supplements are made of Chinese medicine. We can't use any chemical substances at all. We can only buy raw materials." "Oh, it's very difficult to buy raw materials!" Zachary realized the problem.
"Of course!" Lauren explained, "The demand for Chinese medicine is lower than Western medicine. Naturally, there will be less supply of the raw materials for Chinese medicine. Sof the Chinese medicine stores bought them from certain individuals in small amounts. Shave their own plantations." "But, those Chinese medicine stores are not large-scale stores. I have talked to many of them and they don't have extra raw materials to sell to us. So, I can only ask Vernon for help. After all, Healler Hall is the largest Chinese medicine store in Ludington City. Their plantations are also much larger than others, and they have all sorts of herbs there. I didn't expect the meeting with him would end up like this!" Lauren heaved a long sigh.
Zachary was frowning. It was very simple for him to deal with any problem regarding to the formulation. But, he could not do anything about the raw materials. It was impossible for him to build a plantation as it was too late. Also, they didn't have much money left.
Seeing that Zachary was at a loss, Lauren waved her hand with a smile, "Well, don't worry about it. You just have to focus on the formulation. I'll take care of the rest." Zachary was touched. "Thank you, Sister Lim!"
