- Chapter 18 Competition is Not Fair (1) If one were to compare human relationships to chemical reactions. The pitch-black night would be like a catalyst that promotes such chemical reactions. For instance, a man and woman who are attracted to each other would share sweet whispers of love, and when a defenseless passerby meets a robber, they would engage in a cordial monetary transaction. And when the branch manager of ‘Devon Trust Bank’ and a city council senator meet under the moonlight, they…

Penelope had taken charge of the entire process. “I didn’t know you would step forward this much, Miss.” “Manager Ritz doesn’t need to be grateful. I just did what I had to do.

- Chapter 14 What is Marketing (2) If you grabbed just anyone in Britannia and asked ‘Who is Bellaby Blancville?’ Ten out of ten would answer ‘Britannia’s greatest actress.’ Britannia’s greatest actress. This short sentence contained so much meaning. Wealth and honor. And attention. Bellaby’s every move became an object of interest and admiration.

First, I visited a glass factory to commission custom production of Cola bottles. The design was already decided. The Contour Bottle.
