Chapter 83 - 82. Trojan Butterfly
It was rare for a company to fully operate by itself on a project. At the very least, a distribution company was needed to transport the commodity. Even big corporations that could create a whole system by building affiliated companies still needed subcontractors. Sometimes, it was cheaper to outsource than create a company from scratch or doing aqcuisition.
For this system to run smoothly, connections were needed to link company A to company B and C and so on. The company ’given’ to Sarah was the kind that made this connection.

"So that was why you said it could be both good and bad," Hajin drummed on the steering wheel, nodding along the explanation.
"Uh-huh..." she flipped the document again, reading closely since the car was stopping at a red light. "Ah..."
