Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2057
Stella laughed and replied: [He felt guilty for roping you in, so he offered you a high price.]
Felicity replied: (Back then, I thought I was too principled to bow for a good sum. But now, looking back, being locked up for two
hours for a hundred thousand seems worth it. You have no idea how hard it is to earn money these days! Short dramas have
become a big hit recently, and I've been working on those.]
She continued: [We don’t use famous actors and film within 3-5 days, using scripts from online crowdsourcing. With quick
turnaround and low budgets, usually 20,000 to 30,000, we can make huge profits, even more, if a project goes viral. It's a highly
profitable model, so many in our industry are doing it. I've been assigned to oversee these projects, but sorting through the
overly dramatic scripts every day is overwhelming.]
Since her pregnancy, Stella had not been watching many short videos, so she was quite out of the loop about this trend. She
asked Felicity what these short dramas were like.
Felicity then sent her a link. After browsing for a while, Stella had an idea and quickly typed: [Can you help me write a script?]
Felicity replied: [Huh?]
Stella typed: [I'll see you after work. We can talk about it then.]
She thought explaining over text was too slow as she could not convey her sudden thoughts properly.
She wanted Felicity to turn the events surrounding the Saun family from years ago into a short drama. She would pay to promote
it.

Stella had also considered if Darcie had an accomplice, a story close to the truth blowing up online could force them to slip up.
Felicity responded: [Okay. Then, head straight to Clouditude International after work. We’ll meet at the stinky Cucumber's office.]
Shortly after Stella put down her phone, there was a knock on her office door. She said, “Come in."
Julia heard Stella's response and gently pushed the door open. "Ms. Hall, do you have a minute?"
To prevent the Perfume Blending Department staff from harboring any disloyal thoughts, as well as to safeguard the formula from
leaking and maintain the core team's competitiveness, Darcie divided the department into units A and B, each further split into
three teams. Both units were meant to work together yet also compete against each other.
The core formula of Caline's products was stored in a computer in a secure room on the top floor, protected by a dual password
system.
Besides Darcie, who knew the full password, each of the two managers only knew their part of the password, which was updated
monthly.
Stealing the formula would require both managers to cooperate, an unlikely scenario given their competitive relationship.
Darcie's strategy was clever indeed.
Julia, from Unit A of the Perfume Blending Department, had been with the company for three years. After the previous unit leader
was transferred, she was the likely candidate for the position until Jaylene was parachuted in.
As Stella pondered, she smiled and asked, "What's up?"
Julia replied, “Ms. Abbott asked me to take you on a tour of the Perfume Blending Department. Are you available now?”

Stella nodded. "Sure, let's go."
Following Julia, they headed to the Perfume Blending Department. The department boasted a large office space where, aside
from mixing products in the fragrance room, the staff typically worked. When Stella arrived, everyone was busy with their tasks.
Although Julia claimed it was a tour, it seemed more like she was just leading Stella around the workspace without much of an
introduction. It was almost as if she had brought her there on purpose. Stella was wondering about this when a commotion arose
at the entrance.
