Chapter 209
It was almost the end of the year now. Joanna needed a sum of money for the employees‘ salaries.
Moreover, she was about to compete with the Everett family for custody of the children. A good lawyer would require a lot of money, too.
Therefore, she urgently needed money now!
They traveled in a car.
Along the way, Joanna kept coughing.
Cora quickly handed her a bottle of water. “Miss Haynes, can you handle this? You look terrible!”
Joanna took the water and took two sips weakly. “I’m fine. I’ll be better after resting.”
After saying that, Joanna leaned against the back seat and shut her eyes to rest.
She took four antipyretic pills just now, and the effects of the medicine were kicking in. She felt weak and sleepy now.
Her heart was beating fast, and her right eyelid was twitching non–stop. She had an ominous feeling that something bad was about to happen!
Nonetheless, she had been down on her luck recently that she no longer had the energy to worry about it.
They arrived at Greene Town shortly.
At eleven o’clock in the afternoon, Joanna and the others finally arrived at Greene Town.
Since it was Brother Trumpet who initiated that meet–up, the group was able to meet up with him smoothly and with no obstacles.
The meet–up was held at a café.
Brother Trumpet was wearing casual clothes, and he was still wearing the cap from the last time.
“Hello, sorry to keep you waiting!” Joanna greeted Brother Trumpet politely when she arrived at the meeting place,
“Hello!” Brother Trumpet extended his right hand to shake hers.
“Please take a seat!”
“Alright!”
Joanna sat down on the opposite end of the coffee table.
Cora, Michael, and the others waited outside the private room.
Only Brother Trumpet, Joanna, and the waiter were in the room.
“What do you want to drink?”
“I will have a mocha.”
Brother Trumpet was a little taken aback by Joanna’s choice. Mocha was a sweetened drink with a strong taste, while Joanna seemed to be a health–conscious person who would prefer black coffee!
“A mocha!”
“Alright, please wait a moment!” The waiter replied and left the private room.
Brother Trumpet looked up at Joanna again.
She was wearing a white Burberry suit and carrying a classic platinum bag from Hermes! She had very light makeup on her face, and her hair was styled exquisitely.
She looked elegant and gentle, without the arrogance of a socialite.
Brother Trumpet glanced at Joanna, and his heart skipped a beat like an electric current had passed through his body. He quickly picked up his coffee and took a sip to hide his nervousness.
During his live broadcasts, Brother Trumpet was articulate and eloquent. However, in private, he was very quiet and did not
like to talk.
“I’ve seen your business card. Your last name is Tate, right? I’ll call you Mr. Tate!”
“Yes, yes, okay!” Brother Trumpet smiled shyly. He was completely different from his confident and poised self on the live
stream.
“Mr. Tate, I’m here today to discuss the collaboration! I also want to understand what you require for the collaboration process,” Joanna said with a smile.
The dimples on her cheeks were even more alluring.
Brother Trumpet was stunned for a moment. The woman opposite him was really beautiful.
He had been checking and reading about Joanna on the online news for the past few days. He could not believe that Joanna was the controversial person in the news.
“Well, did you bring any samples of the goods today?”
Joanna quickly nodded. “Oh, I did. They are in the car!”
Brother Trumpet paused for a moment. “What kind of samples did you bring?”
Joanna smiled. “The smart electric rice cooker and the smart cleaning robot!”
“How much stock do you have?” Brother Trumpet asked casually.
Joanna opened her bag and took out a folder. “This is the information of the goods. You can take a look!”
“We only used to collaborate with foreign brands previously! Hence, all our products are of top–notch quality and functionalities.”
Brother Trumpet took the information and looked over them. “I don’t have a problem with your products.”
“It’s settled then. I’ll give a hand at the products!” Brother Trumpet said and looked up at Joanna.
“What about the commissions? How are they charged?”
“The commission is one percent!”
“How long will it take to sell the goods?”
Brother Trumpet thought for a moment. I’m going to do a live broadcast next Saturday!”
“Your inventory looks okay. If you sell them on my live stream, I will take at most two live streams to sell all of them!” Brother Trumpet said calmly and confidently.
