London Financial Street,
Scholastic Group, 15th floor of the European Headquarters Building.
Little Prince Project Department.
"Editor-in-chief, the printing plant hopes we can speed up... well, the European Union is still on strike, the supply chain is quite unstable, both paint and labor costs are rising. The group's finance department estimates that if printing is delayed until April, the printing costs of the first batch of books may increase by 7% to 15%..."
The Little Prince project assistant, a chubby man, just stepped out of the elevator.
He had half a donut in his mouth and a tray full of Starbucks coffee cups from downstairs in his arms, his forehead covered in sweat.
The chubby assistant, mumbling into his Bluetooth headset, walked towards the office, placing coffee on each senior's desk in the department.
He hung up the phone, wiped the sweat off his neck with his jacket sleeve, and without needing any urging from his supervisor, quickly trotted back to his desk.
