The Woman From Hell
Chapter 55
Heidi was very efficient in doing things and quickly made an appointment with Sandyâs 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. Sandyâs 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, âCEO Lane, you really are a busy woman. Itâs rare to be able
to see you in person now.â
I put on a professional smile. âPresident Manson, you sure know how to joke. Iâm sorry, but I just got
transferred to the headquarters. There are a lot of things that I had to attend to, so Iâm here today t o
apologize to you.â
âIâm truly flattered. Congratulations, CEO Lane on your promotion. Youâre 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.â
âNo, itâs mainly because of the headquarters. President Grant is too busy and only transferred me back
at the last minute.â
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 didnât 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, âI heard that CEO Lane is in charge o f the new product
endorsement deal?â
Inodded. There isnât much time. President Grant was too busy, so he transferred me back to take
charge of this matter.â
He smiled and said, âMy 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 timeâ¦â
He paused at the end of his sentence and just smiled at me
Naturally, I understood. I put down my spoon and smiled, âSandy was indeed an Pxcellent ambassador.
We were very happy working with her, but weâve only
I paused for a moment before continuing, âThis is a new product now. According to Grant Corporationâs
usual practice, new products are only endorsed by a new ambassador. Butâ¦â
âBut what?â Sandyâs manager hurriedly asked.
âWe donât 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 ambassadorâ
âYou mean a competition between celebrities?â George and his manager exchanged a glance. Their
faces changed color. I guessed my suggestion was beyond their expectations.
âPresident Manson, donât worry. We will consider the reputation of the celebrities i in this competition
and wonât make things difficult for them. I also believe in Sandyâs ability.â I stood up and extended my
hand. âOn behalf of the Grant
invite all of you. I look forward to working with all of you again.â
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, âThank you
for your kindness, CEO Lane. Iâm very grateful.â
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 weâll discuss the details of the cooperation and the agreement in detail later on.â
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 couldnât 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.
