CH 15

Hearing this, the little secretary standing behind the couch was eager and a bit anxious, “Who said that our boss doesn’t have a…”

“Yuan Meng.” Jian Fan called out the secretary’s name in a cold voice, which stopped him from blurting it out.

Jian Fan lifted his eyelids and with a blank expression said, “Jian Si, if you can only say things that are not painful or hurtful to me, then you really haven’t made any progress over the years.”

Jian Fan’s words always seem to provoke Jian Si’s sore spots. After hearing those words, she seemed to forget the little secretary’s words for a while. 

Jian Si tightened her fingers on the champagne glass and looked at Jian Fan as if she wanted to eat people.

“Jian Fan, wait, I want to see till when you can act arrogant.”

The sound of high-heeled shoes leaving angrily sounded but Jian Fan didn’t seem to not react.

He looked down at the text messages that Shen Qing Huan had sent.

[Remember! Do not disclose our relationship for now!]

His slender fingers moved, and silently typed the word “Okey” in the reply box.

In fact, there were two meanings to the matter of “non-disclosure”, one was Shen Qing Huan’s objective request and the other was her subjective request.

Part of the objective request was related to the strategic deployment of Shen Qing Huan’s family.

The Shen family wanted to move from the south to the north and some things needed to be considered in advance. Being too high-profile at this time was not good. 

In addition, Jian Fan seemed to have something to do too. So, the two tacitly agreed that Shen Qing Huan’s true identity would not be disclosed first.

The subjective part was that Shen Qing Huan was going to participate in a public audition recently.

And the product of this advertisement happens to belong to Jian Fan’s company.

To avoid suspicion, Shen Qing Huan wanted to publicize her relationship with Jian Fan after the advertisement audition.

After Jian Fan heard about this, he seemed to be a little curious about his own product.

On this day, Jian Fan’s office was a bit lively.

He was reading the advertising planning book handed over by the publicity director related to the product advertisement shoot.

While reading, Jian Fan’s fingers rhythmically tapped on the marbled office desk.

The gentle knocking sound made the project leader and the propaganda director’s hearts tremble.

The two placed their hands neatly in front of them, like elementary school students waiting for the teacher to correct their test papers.

This product line was just established last year, and it was also a brand new attempt by Jian’s Group. 

However, because the core team was full of newcomers who had just joined Jian’s Group, their estimated funds for this project were not much.

For this reason, to save costs, the publicity director adopted the method of public audition to select the most cost-effective person to advertise it.

They just don’t know why—

The emperor was always far away, so how could this “emperor” suddenly summon the two “little officials” from the remote county town to report??

It was not difficult to think that maybe the boss thought that this product line was not good, and he wanted to sell it directly.

The project leader and the publicity director were shocked, and looked at each other, wildly thinking about the outcome.

They didn’t know how long it had passed. The two only felt that Jian Fan was watching unusually slowly, as if a blunt knife was cutting a fish, cutting their fragile nerves one by one.

Until they secretly glanced at Jian Fan and saw his eyes were locked in one place, there was a slight wrinkle between his brows.

Seeing this, the heart of the project leader and the publicity director hung in an instant.

At the next moment, a sentence sounded like a court sentence, “The endorsement fee is 500,000?”

In this public audition, most of the participants were newcomer models or actors from the eighth or ninth line in the entertainment circle.

So, this endorsement fee was relatively suitable for them.

But by asking this, what Jian Fan means…

The project leader and the propaganda director were sweating profusely, and the two of them looked at each other for some help.

In the end, it was the project leader who held up the banner, kept his voice steady, and explained carefully the situation.

“Master Jian, we know that this endorsement fee is a bit more, but it can be adjusted. Jack and I will go back to discuss and try to reduce the endorsement fee.”

Jack was the unlucky propaganda director who had weathered this storm together. 

Jack quickly nodded with the project leader to show his determination in front of Jian Fan.

(Translated by Beauty Brute.)

Unexpectedly, Jian Fan calmly said, “Who said that the fee is too much?”

Hearing this, the project leader and propaganda director were stunned.
