"I looked into it—it's Lionel. He's the one pulling strings behind our backs."
Stella couldn't help but laugh. "He thinks he can block all my paths, huh? He must believe that if my supermarket can't open, he will have no competition. Have you tried reaching out to those partners?"
"I did, but none of them wanted to see us."
"If they don't want to meet, then so be it. There are tons of brands we can cooperate with. It's not like they're the only game in town and I'm out of moves."
Nola looked at her, puzzled. "So, what do we do next?"
"Looks like I'm going to have to take a business trip."
"But what about your health?" Nola asked, her voice full of concern.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone go with me. It'll be fine."
Nola hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about I go instead?"
"Nola, the company needs you here. If I go, it'll make the negotiators feel our sincerity, and things will go smoother."
Nola had to agree.
Stella gave Jordan a call and told him she needed to go on a business trip.
Jordan immediately asked, "Do you have to go?"
"Yeah, I have to. All my suppliers have pulled out, but I still need to open the supermarket. I can't run a supermarket with empty shelves, right?" Stella replied.
"Are you going alone?"
"I have an employee go with me."
"Is it a guy or a girl?"
Stella burst out laughing at his question. "Of course, it's a girl."
"Take a guy and a girl with you. I'm not okay with just two women going on a business trip."
Stella blinked in surprise, and then caught on to what Jordan was getting at. "All right, I'll pick a guy to go with me."
"When are you heading out?"
"Pretty much right away. The renovations are almost finished. I picked out only the best materials, so give it about a month and we'll be ready to open."
"Alright, go for it."
Stella couldn't say how she felt—kind of happy, but also kind of not. She felt Jordan agreed to all this too easily. But she pushed those thoughts aside and hurried to pack.
At the airport, Stella was heading in with two companions when Anna happened to spot her.
Anna was at the airport to meet someone, but when she saw Stella leaving with her people, she made a point to check which airline they were taking and even went to ask around for more details.
When Anna heard Stella was heading out on a business trip, a sly grin crept onto her lips. She thought, 'A business trip, huh? Stella, let's see what kind of trouble you'll run into once you're out of Jaloria.'
About two hours later, Stella and her two team members got off the plane. She was perfectly fine, and the moment she turned on her phone, she called Jordan just to let him know she was there.
Stella and her team checked into the hotel first. She turned to the female employee and asked, "Have you contacted the suppliers?"
"Yes, I've contacted them," she replied.
Stella gave a slight nod. They'd be staying in Austow for five days. This was where all the seasonings were produced, and that category was the heart of the supermarket's entire selection.
After checking in, Stella and her team headed straight to the supplier's office. When they arrived, they explained why they were there, and a receptionist led them inside.
On the way, they walked past the factory floor, and the receptionist gave them a quick introduction to it.
This was Stella's first time visiting, and she was impressed by how well-organized everything was. Once they got inside, Stella was surprised to see Kevin.
