The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 126

Their topic of conversation was now centered on business.

Jean answered in a businesslike tone, “There are many brands that want to vie for a spot in Beauvort World. Truthfully, your brand is not reputable enough to meet our criteria.”

Neera felt something sink in her heart. She wanted to persuade him even more, but he then said, “However, I can make an exception for you.”

Neera was mildly surprised.

If this man left some rooms for negotiation, all hope was not lost.

She flashed her widest smile, “I see. Thank you so much, Mr. Beauvort.”

Jean waved his hand dismissively and continued, “Don’t be so fast to thank me. Although I will allow your brand to set up a booth in the mall, I will impose stricter rules on you. Your sales figure has to be the top among every brand there in one month. The other brands have a little more leeway as our company will only check on them every three months. You better think hard about this. If you think it’s good enough for you, we can talk about contracts.”

He continued to watch her expression, “If your sales figure does not reach the mark one month later, you will need to remove your brand from Beauvort World. Additionally, you will need to pay for three months’ worth of rental as compensation. What do you think?”

Neera was actually not that spooked by those scary terms and conditions. She did not feel unfair at all. In fact, she was impressed by his professionalism.

“No problem. After all, we are only able to get in through connection. If we cannot convince you with our figures, I will feel shameful too!”

She was always confident in herself. She always walked the high road.

Jean was surprised to see her being so confident, “Are you sure you want to settle the deal now? You better think about the consequences. If news get out that your brand is banished from Beauvort World, your brand will have an extremely hard time establishing a reputation in Kingsview from that moment on!”

Everyone knew how high a standard that the Beauvort Group held itself to.

If a brand was banished from the Beauvort World, it was a sign to the other vendors and malls that this brand would be like a black sheep on the market.

Neera knew the risks. She simply smiled.

“I know. I have full confidence in our brand. We will hit your target no matter what!”

Jean even began to feel impressed by her attitude.

He stared at her for some time before nodding, “Good, it’s always good to be confident. Since you already made up your mind, let’s get on with it.”

Then, he turned to Ian, “Get the contracts ready.”

Ian left immediately after getting his order.

At that moment, Neera thanked him again, “I still have to thank you for giving me and our brand a chance.”

Jean was still mechanical with his reply, “Don’t thank me just yet. This is just part of business. If your brand becomes a hot-seller, it will bring more business to Beauvort World as well. More customers would flock to our shops. It’s a win-win situation.”

Neera chuckled, “I agree with what you said. Happy to work with you.”

Jean stared at her hands and her confident face. Something was brewing in his eyes.

They shook hands lightly.

After that, Neera returned home with her dogs that were all muddied.

…

Ian was always an efficient man.

In the evening, after Neera fetched the triplets from the kindergarten, Ian was already knocking on her door.

“Ms. Garcia, the contracts are ready. If you are free now, come sign it.”

Neera thought that the sooner she could secure the deal the better. She nodded, “Alright, I’m coming.”

The triplets huddled around her with questions, “Mummy, what kind of contract Uncle Jean and you are signing this time?”

Neera pinched Sammy’s cheeks and told them what happened.

The triplets felt energized upon learning their collaboration.

If Mummy and Daddy were tied up in more contracts, that would mean that they had to cross paths many more times! It was a good thing!

They were all very excited as they followed Neera, wanting to go to Jean’s place.

Neera did not stop them as they paid Jean a visit.
