Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2704

Fashion Industry

"Is she doing well lately?" Larry asked with a glint of sadness in his eyes.

"Larry, why don't you go and see her and replace out for yourself?" Jessica replied while taking a glance at Larry, before sitting down on the sofa.

Go and see her? How can I still bring myself to face her? Larry turned around so that Jessica would not notice his sorrowful expression.

"By the way, what's your current plan for Norton Corporation? What are you thinking of? If the current business model is not working, why don't you reinvent the business?" Jessica's words inspired Larry at once.

His eyes brightened up and seemed to have thought of something.

"Jessica, are you interested in working on something with me?"

Larry's voice was filled with anticipation and excitement.

What could he be thinking of? Jessica studied the man in front of her and seemed to be waiting for him to elaborate on his plan.

"Norton Corporation is already going downhill. Besides, Jake has already convinced all our previous manufacturing partners not to work with us. As such, it would no longer be feasible for us to continue operating under the current business model. Therefore, I plan to reinvent the business!"

Jessica would never expect that the impetus for Larry's decision would be her casual remark.

"No problem, Larry. I will support you no matter what you decide to do!"

Larry was very touched by Jessica's reply.

He knew that those who remained by his side during such trying times were definitely his true friends.

In fact, other than Jessica, there was no one else in the business area whom he could seek help from.

"But Larry, what new business model are you thinking of?" Jessica blinked her eyes in curiosity and waited eagerly for Larry's reply.

"I'm thinking of going into the fashion industry!"

Jessica was stunned at the man's answer.

She knew that even though the fashion industry was a popular industry that was extremely profitable if things were done right, it was also easy to make huge losses if things went south. "Have you really decided to do that?"

"I've decided!"

However, Jessica wasn't able to understand why Larry wanted to go into the fashion industry.

"Larry, I heard that Jake intends to acquire Norton Corporation... " Jessica said hesitantly. "That is not happening!" Larry replied in a determined tone and walked out of his office. He needed to start making preparations.

He did not inform the other directors of the company about his plan to reinvent the business.

Larry secretly got in touch with people in his personal network and gathered a group of fashion designers who were currently active in the industry.

"Why would Mr. Norton gather all of us here today? What's the occasion?" A young female designer asked jokingly.

"Yeah, Mr. Norton, we haven't seen much of you since graduation..."

The group of designers took turns to tease Larry and joked around with each other. All of them did not seem to feel awkward around each other at all.

As they were all Larry's close friends in college, they felt very much at ease in the presence of one another.

"I am thinking of opening up a fashion company," Larry said calmly after taking a sip of tea.

Instantly, an awkward silence filled the atmosphere.

No one would have thought that the aloof and haughty president of the Norton Corporation would want to open a fashion company.

"Mr. Norton, is this a joke?"

"Why would you suddenly change fields when you are doing so well?"

It turned out that none of Larry's friends was aware of Norton Corporation's current situation.

"The fashion industry is now a rising industry and has huge potential. Besides, traditional industries are being phased out gradually with changing times... " Larry explained to his friends patiently.

"Well, Mr. Norton, we don't understand any of that business language you're talking about. Why don't you just tell us your purpose of inviting us here today?" One of the designers stood up and interrupted Larry.

Everyone was equal at that gathering. Naturally, those who were present wouldn't bother with the usual formalities in the business world. Of course, some things were only meant as a joke.

"Cool! I shan't beat around the bush then. I need help from you guys."

Everyone froze in their spots when they heard that and exchanged incredulous looks. They couldn't help but feel anxious.
