Chapter 538: Winning the Endorsement Rights
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If He Mao agreed to the conversation at the beginning because of Murong Qiao’s identity as a member of the Murong Family.
Then, after hearing the other party’s plan and the contract conditions, Murong Qiao’s status in He Mao’s heart was higher than that surname.
To be able to sit in the position of the person in charge, He Mao naturally had his own ability.
He could hear Murong Qiao’s sincerity and understood her motive for suddenly appearing to intercept him.
Therefore, after Murong Qiao finished speaking, He Mao spoke.
“The conditions offered by your company are much better than Du Entertainment.” He pondered.
In fact, after hearing Murong Qiao’s words, He Mao even felt a little tempted.
He opened his hands to face each other, his fingertips touching as if in thought. “It’s just that this quarterly endorsement is very important to us.”
“But cooperating with Du Entertainment is the safest choice,” He Mao said first.
After all, Du Entertainment was a wily old fox in the entertainment industry.
Be it resources, connections, or anything else, they had accumulated them over the years.
When Murong Qiao heard him say this, she continued without panic, “But it’s definitely not the best choice.
Du Entertainment also has its own bottom line. If Silence wants to collaborate with them, I’m afraid you will have to make many concessions, right?
Although CG is indeed inferior to Du Entertainment in terms of qualifications, we can make concessions elsewhere. Everyone will take what they need.”
Murong Qiao opened the contract and flipped to the last page and signed her own name. Then, she put away the contract and handed it to He Mao.
He Mao’s gaze followed the other party’s movements and landed on the contract in black and white.
The few conditions placed at the front tempted him with just a glance.
Murong Qiao also knew her advantages and disadvantages, so before she shook her bottom line, she could be said to have displayed her sincerity to the greatest extent.
Such a sudden “accident” was placed in front of He Mao, making his heart waver.
The private room fell silent.
After waiting for a long time, she heard a helpless sigh.
“Looks like I’m going to stand Boss Du up this time.”
He Mao was in charge of Silence, but he was first and foremost a businessman.
The interests of a merchant naturally came first.
Since Murong Qiao had shown the corresponding sincerity and even took the initiative to seek him out to ask for cooperation, He Mao could only sigh in his heart with the thought that the other party had really given him too much. Then, he signed his name on the contract.
“I wish us a happy cooperation.” The smile on Murong Qiao’s face became much more genuine.
He Mao was the same. “Happy cooperation.”
The two of them discussed happily in the private room on the 11th floor.
Murong Qiao also agreed with the other party that the quarterly endorsements would be handled by CG.
However, it was different with Du Guoqing.
He personally rushed to the private room he had booked and waited for a full 20 minutes. Even after the agreed time was delayed by half an hour, he didn’t see the person he wanted to see.
Du Guoqing’s good mood faded with time, and his expression gradually darkened.
He had a bad feeling and asked Du Ming to call the other party to ask about the situation.
“Boss, I called twice but he didn’t answer.”
When Du Ming returned and reported such an outcome, Du Guoqing lost his patience and stood up to leave.
Time was money, and it was even more so for someone of Du Guoqing’s status.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Du Ming hurriedly followed behind.
The importance of the collaboration with Silence this time was self-evident. Du Ming also paid 120% attention to it.
Now that he didn’t see the other party for a long time, Du Ming was confused.
Du Guoqing was not in a good mood after being stood up. “They’re quite good at putting on airs.”
Ever since he sat in this position, no one had dared to treat him like this in a long time. Du Guoqing was furious and prepared to leave.
However, when he took the elevator downstairs, through the transparent outer wall of the elevator, Du Guoqing saw Murong Qiao at the main entrance of Yunyue Hotel on the first floor.
The other party was sending someone away. The distance was too far, and in Du Guoqing’s eyes, he could only see a blurry blond man.
However, before he could think further, the elevator door opened in front of him.
Murong Qiao had just sent He Mao away when she turned around and met Du Guoqing’s gaze.
“Long time no see, Boss Murong. I didn’t expect us to meet here.” Almost instantly, Du Guoqing’s face revealed the smiling expression from the show.
Seeing him like this, Murong Qiao knew that the other party must not have noticed He Mao when she sent him away just now.
Hence, she also smiled. “It’s fate.”
“I like fate. Unfortunately, I have other plans later. Otherwise, I really want to invite you to dinner.”
Even at this moment, looking at the perfect smile on Du Guoqing’s face, Murong Qiao still couldn’t find any traces of disguise.
Even Du Ming, who was standing beside Du Guoqing, seemed to have received some of Du Guoqing’s teachings. He sat down expressionlessly and stood at the side, as if he didn’t know Murong Qiao at all. It was as if they had just met.
Murong Qiao continued, “Then, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
The two of them stood at the door and exchanged pleasantries. The smiles on their faces looked sincere, but they knew in their hearts that each was more fake than the other.
Murong Qiao had just received Silence’s collaboration and couldn’t be happier.
Du Guoqing realized that Murong Qiao seemed to be in a good mood. This made him even angrier since he was stood up.
It was not until the two of them parted after exchanging a few pleasantries and sat in his car that Du Guoqing’s gloomy expression returned.
“Let Silence give us an explanation for what happened today.”
Du Ming hurriedly agreed and turned the steering wheel in the driver’s seat.
However, there was no need to investigate. After the person-in-charge of Silence, He Mao, confirmed that he wanted to cooperate with Murong Qiao, he directly betrayed them and went back to send an explanation letter to Du Entertainment.
Benefits were always like the weathervane.
Since Murong Qiao had given him more and was more sincere, He Mao had no reason not to change sides.
Although the explanation letter didn’t explicitly say which side they were working with, after Du Ming passed the news to Du Guoqing, the other party almost immediately thought of Murong Qiao, who had also appeared at the Yunyue Hotel that day.
Before Du Guoqing could flare up and explain, Murong Qiao’s official CG company account had already released the cooperation details.
[We’re very honored to be able to cooperate with @silence this time…]
“Congratulations! I didn’t expect CG to be able to collaborate with a high fashion brand.”
:Moon Goddess is awesome! I really can’t reject career-type women. Who understands?”
“Silence’s designs are also extremely explosive. Coupled with my favorite CG, this is simply a double ecstasy!”
The words were clearly written very officially, but they were especially glaring in Du Guoqing’s eyes.
In just a few lines, from the words to every punctuation mark, Du Guoqing could feel the other party’s bragging.
Even the congratulations below were nauseating.
The announcement had already been released. At this point, what else could Du Guoqing not understand?
It was not a coincidence that Murong Qiao had appeared at Yunyue Hotel that day. The blond man whom she had sent away was He Mao, the same man he had been waiting for. The collaboration that he was about to get was now snatched away by the other party.
Du Guoqing, who had figured out the entire matter, couldn’t breathe.
He was very angry..
