“No need for Luo Zizhou. I’ll guide her myself!”

Gu Yuanzhou was speaking to Annie.

Hearing this, Annie was astounded.

She apparently hadn’t anticipated that Gu Yuanzhou would be willing to mentor me personally.

This was indeed quite rare.

A combination of jealousy and resentment was visible on Annie’s face, and she insisted,

“President Gu, you are a top executive in the company. You have many important things to attend to. How can you have the time to coach her? Let’s leave professional matters to the professionals.”

At her words, Gu Yuanyuan glanced upwards, his piercing gaze resting upon

Annie,

“Do I need you to tell me how to do my job?”

There was a low register to his voice, tinged    an undercurrent of displeasure and a touch of sarcasm.

There was an absolute weight of authority to it.

Annie perceived that Gu Yuanzhou was already irritated; if she continued, she risked losing her job. So, she quickly decided to change her attitude.

“Sorry, that’s not what I meant!”

Having apologized, she walked off crestfallen.

I too hadn’t expected that Gu Yuanzhou would personally guide me.

However, this project indeed posed a significant challenge.

After Annie had left, 1 once again looked over the file,

“Mr. President, I feel that this project is quite challenging. Can we approach it in a better way?”

“What ‘better way’ do you propose?”

As I met Gu Yuanzhou’s gaze, I fell silent abruptly.

I was reminded of the years spent working with Gu Yuanzhou again.

Many classic business strategies were born out of my imaginations – I suggested the ideas and Gu Yuanzhou took care of fine-tuning the details and carrying them out.

We collaborated seamlessly, laying a solid foundation for the company’s growth.

Recently, I too have been observing the market dynamics and proposed some unique insights.

“The plan Annie delivered involves collaborating with the female celebrity

Mina, using her as the feature model for our new products… I understand that she has immense popularity and viewership. Her aloof image fits well with our product vibes. But she has already signed a contract with Tianjiao

Company. If we want to snatch her, we need to offer at least double the price. It’s not that I think she is bad, but she’s just too tricky to deal with. I can opt for better business channels which can save us a large sum in advertising fees!”

“What channels?”

“It’s about collaborating with top-notch influencers! Currently, I’ve noticed some influencers with impressive sales numbers, we can consider…”

Before I could finish, Gu Yuanzhou interrupted me.

“No way! My products target the high-end market; those brands that take the live streaming path are low-end! They target the down-market, and we can’t lower our standards!”

Gu Yuanzhou stubbornly cut me off.

Before I could explain further, he stopped me,

“Just follow my instructions! Get in touch with Mina first!”

“Alright!

The difficulty of this project lies in snatching business away from the Ding Family.

The thought of having to negotiate with Ding Yinuo again gives me a headache.

The female star, Mina.

1 have looked her up online before. She’s a well-established celebrity who started out as a model. Regardless of her acting skills,

she has endorsed many luxury brands and even high-end handbags since her rise to fame.

She is notoriously finicky and holds somewhat high standards, not easily impressed by generic brands.

Dealing with her is no easy task, but she indeed has significant influence in

the fashion circle.

Four years ago, Gu Yuanzhou also wanted her as our ambassador, but our brand wasn’t as well-known back then, and Mina wasn’t interested.

Each year since, Gu Yuanzhou had some individuals trying to sign a contract with her, but success eluded him.

This made me somewhat familiar with her.

Even though I wasn’t keen to interact with her, now that Gu Yuanzhou assigned me this task, I would take it as a challenge.

Four years ago, I was pregnant with my second child and didn’t have the energy to handle these matters.

But now I am able to attend to this matter attentively.

The next afternoon.

I made the necessary preparations and arrived at Mina’s mansion without making an appointment.

I wonder who let the cat out of the bag.

As soon as I arrived, I saw someone familiar

It was Ding Yinuo, wearing a silver suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He was leaning against a red sports car, arms folded.

Seductive sexiness seeped through his handsome features.

“Oh, what a coincidence! Mr. Ding, you’re here too?”

In a situation where the other side wasn’t showing their hand, I decided to play dumb first.

But Ding Yinuo didn’t seem to fall for my act, he walked straight up to me, stretched out his arms and cornered me against the wall. “You’re still too green to try and steal our spokesperson!”

I looked at him and laughed,

“Mr. Ding, you’re quite well-informed? I haven’t made a move yet and you already know? Seems like you’ve planted a spy in our company, haven’t you?” Ding Yinuo quirked a smile,

“In this day and age, who doesn’t plant a few informants in their competitor’s company?”

“Annie clued you in, didn’t she?”

1 tried to coax information out of him in a nonchalant way.

Unexpectedly, Ding Yinuo, the sneaky devil, promptly saw through my plot. “Don’t try using that tactic on me! I’m not as stupid as you!’

“Ahem, alright, then I won’t beat around the bush. Yes, I’m indeed here to snatch Mina…

Ding Yinuo didn’t get angry, on the contrary, after he let go of me, he let out a sarcastic laugh.

“You think you can?”

“Hmm?”

“Fine, if you really can win her over, I admit defeat!”

“If I win, you’re treating me to a meal!” I also smiled confidently.

Ding Yinuo pointed at Mina’s house,

“Have you set an appointment with her?”

“Of course not, as far as 1 know, she wouldn’t accept my appointment!”

“So, if you can’t even book an appointment with her, what a_re you going to talk to her about?”

Ding Yinuo’s smile was tinged with contempt.

“Oh, right, you’re quite correct. Well then, why don’t you introduce me to her?

If I succeed, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Ding Yinuo snorted coldly,

“You know what? Beautiful women, can play the beauty card! But you… it’s not suitable! ”

“Alright, if you won’t help then don’t! You really don’t have to deride people with such biting sarcasm! I’ll have you know, there are plenty of people who are fond of me!”

“Who’s fond of you?”

Ding Yinuo abruptly asked back.

I rolled my eyes at him, “When did Mr. Ding start paying attention to my personal affairs?”

“Who’s paying any attention to you? Fine, today, I’m going to see what kind of magic powers you have to meet Mina!”

I waved goodbye to Ding Yinuo and walked towards the villa’s front door.

Ding Yinuo actually didn’t leave.

He stood in the parking lot, watching me from a distance.

I rang the doorbell…

A moment later, a nanny’s face appeared on the small visible electronic screen on the door,

“Who is it?”

“l, uh, I’m Song Xiaoyun from Zhenyi Company, I’m here to discuss a potential cooperation with Miss Mina.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

“Well, I’m sorry, Miss Mina is not feeling well today, she won’t see anyone!”

“Oh, but I really need to see her, it’s important!”

No sooner had I finished speaking, another female voice could be heard from the video screen.

“Didn’t Mr. Ding mention it earlier? We’re not seeing anyone today! It doesn’t matter who she is, hang up…”

I turned around and saw Ding Yinuo, phone in hand, waving at me. Apparently, he had sent word to Mina not to meet with me.

By this point, the video call had been terminated. I rang the doorbell again.

The nanny seemed quite impatient,

“You should leave, Miss Mina will definitely not see you! If you don’t leave, we’re calling the police.”

I quickly said something crucial, when the nanny immediately swung the door open..
