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 i n 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 to 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 grown 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 of the new product endorsement deal?"
I nodded. "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.
