left behind. This is the main point of our meeting today. The research team headed by Ms.
Jade will now handle the feasibility test already half-done. The research team will handle the
data gathering. Please look at the tasks that Mr. Kim and his team have already done. Lastly,
the marketing department will continue to work on the marketing strategy proposal that they
have already drafted. However, Mr. Siy is the one who will monitor their progress. I hope that
everyone will be able to cope with these changes. I believe that we can still accomplish our
work despite Mr. Kim’s sudden resignation. Good luck to us!
