The Woman From Hell

Heidi was very efficient in doing things and quickly made an appointment with Sandy’s company.

I told her to set the time for lunch. Discussions like this, especially the kind that required mental

strength, were best done over food.

Seeing that it was almost noon, I took my bag and went to the restaurant that Heidi had booked in

advance. Unexpectedly, they had arrived earlier. Sandy’s manager was also there

It seemed that the Grant Corporation was indeed a big business client, and they valued it very much.

The boss of Newlight Media, George Manson, was a very young boss with a dignified look. Many

people said that he had entered the wrong line of work and should have become a scholar instead.

They used to work together in the entertainment industry and knew each other.

Seeing me come in, George and the others got up and walked toward me with a smile. At the same

time, they extended their hands and said, “CEO Lane, you really are a busy woman. It’s rare to be able

to see you in person now.”

I put on a professional smile. “President Manson, you sure know how to joke. I’m sorry, but I just got

transferred to the headquarters. There are a lot of things that I had to attend to, so I’m here today t o

apologize to you.”

“I’m truly flattered. Congratulations, CEO Lane on your promotion. You’re indeed a super woman. In

just three short years, Nectarine Entertainment had growt so well under you. For you to suddenly stop

working there, I was impressed.”

“No, it’s mainly because of the headquarters. President Grant is too busy and only transferred me back

at the last minute.”

The dishes were not served yet, and everyone sat down to chat,

This was the business world where we

exchanged insincere pleasantries. It might seem casual, but it was obvious in our conversations.

We talked until the dishes were served. George didn’t rush straight to the point. I was patient too. I ate

slowly, waiting for him to speak first.

Halfway through the meal, George finally said, “I heard that CEO Lane is in charge o f the new product Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

endorsement deal?”

Inodded. There isn’t much time. President Grant was too busy, so he transferred me back to take

charge of this matter.”

He smiled and said, “My artiste, Sandy, had a very great collaboration with Grant Corporation

previously. Furthermore, the market feedback has been good all this while. Who knows if this time…”

He paused at the end of his sentence and just smiled at me

Naturally, I understood. I put down my spoon and smiled, “Sandy was indeed an Pxcellent ambassador.

We were very happy working with her, but we’ve only

I paused for a moment before continuing, “This is a new product now. According to Grant Corporation’s

usual practice, new products are only endorsed by a new ambassador. But…”

“But what?” Sandy’s manager hurriedly asked.

“We don’t want to let go of such a good ambassador like Sandy, so this is also the reason why I asked

you guys to come here today. We plan to hold a competition like a celebrity reality show and let the

audience vote and decide for the ambassador”

“You mean a competition between celebrities?” George and his manager exchanged a glance. Their

faces changed color. I guessed my suggestion was beyond their expectations.

“President Manson, don’t worry. We will consider the reputation of the celebrities i in this competition

and won’t make things difficult for them. I also believe in Sandy’s ability.” I stood up and extended my

hand. “On behalf of the Grant

invite all of you. I look forward to working with all of you again.”

The conversation came to an end. If they refused, it would mean that they had officially given up on the

competition for the ambassador role.

After George heard that, he smiled slightly. His good upbringing made him say elegantly, “Thank you

for your kindness, CEO Lane. I’m very grateful.”

No matter how unwilling he was, he did not want to give up on Grant Corporation, which was indeed a

huge business client, so he agreed to it

Then we’ll discuss the details of the cooperation and the agreement in detail later on.”

After sending off George and the rest, I fell into deep thought. Originally, they were the biggest

suspects in what happened last night. However, seeing how George was dissatisfied with my

suggestion, I guessed that it had nothing t o do with them.

However, the matter had not heen

However, the matter had not been resolved yet. I could only slowly observe

later.

I couldn‘t tell anyone about the incident yet. I could only rely on myself to slowly investigate.

After Theo left last night, he did not appear in front of me again.
