The Woman From Hell

Chapter 55
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 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.
