Chapter 437: My acting skills have become rusty
They thought Elena was crazy, but it turned out that everyone was crazy online. As soon as they arrived at the studio, they were shocked by the bustling scene. Some were busy responding online, some were typing away on their keyboards, and Pete was lying on the table with a charming pose, checking data with the marketing department, while he was on the phone to arrange Elena's schedule, which made Xiang Nuan dumbfounded.
Before she could react, she heard someone cheering, and everyone stood up and applauded her.
"Our website's traffic has exceeded 10 million overnight!" Pitt walked towards the two people with a catwalk pace and outstretched arms, like Her Majesty the Queen welcoming a victorious general.
Xiang Nuan was grinning as she watched. This style of painting... eh...
"Three interviews have been scheduled, two of which are heavyweights. And..." Pete handed the records to Elena and prolonged his tone in a mysterious way.
Elena rolled her eyes at him, took the record and exclaimed in surprise.
"Vincent?!" she whispered, covering her mouth.
Xiang Nuan was a little confused, as this touched upon her blind spot in knowledge. But looking at Peter's equally exaggerated expression, she knew that no matter who this Vincent was, he must be a heavyweight.
"He asked you to have lunch." Pete blinked mysteriously.
Elena held the record card to her chest and ran into the office excitedly. It seemed that she had to prepare well before meeting Vincent.
"We have prepared all the information..." Pete said as he followed closely.
Well, it was obvious that this was going to be a tough battle. Xiang Nuan shrugged and decided not to bother them.
"Vincent is the director of Xingtu Network Company. Elena has always wanted to improve the company's website design and operations. She tried it herself for a while, but found that it would be most effective to work with a professional company." Cathy walked over to her and explained to her.
"Although Xingtu is not the oldest and most senior company, they have a group of technical talents with sharp vision, new ideas and courage. Their performance in the past two years is also very impressive. Elena wants to cooperate with them, but she was rejected twice before."
"Someone actually dared to reject Elena?" Xiang Nuan laughed, "What's the reason?"
"Not hot enough."
"What?!" Xiang Nuan thought she had heard it wrong.
"To put it in professional terms, we have not yet established a firm foothold in the market. With our current brand awareness and business volume, we do not need this 'big knife'."
"You really are an expert on China!" Xiang Nuan laughed, "You even know the allusion of why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"
Cathy curled her lips, with an expression that said, "It's no big deal."
"So, this time it's popular enough to catch their eyes?" Xiang Nuan said.
"Isn't it? The fact is that our website's capacity simply can't handle the surge in traffic yesterday. This is just an olive branch that they are throwing out."
"Well, since you like each other, why bother testing each other? Just negotiate the terms." Xiang Nuan said, and suddenly tilted her head to stare at Casey, "Speaking of like, why didn't I see you last night?"
"ah?"
"Humph, Alan isn't here either."
"ah."
"You two..." Xiang Nuan pushed her shoulder and watched her face turn red.
"Congratulations, I told you two are a perfect match, right?" Xiang Nuan continued to joke.
"It's okay for now." Casey said calmly.
This expression is not common on her face. If the phone hadn't rang at this time, Xiang Nuan would have been unable to resist teasing her further.
"Designer Xiang, long time no see." It was Jin Nuoyi. He came really quickly.
"It's not too late to say congratulations now, right? Mr. Jiang's show was a huge success, and you also shined in the city of romance. It's really a double blessing for a good couple."
"You're welcome," Xiang Nuan smiled lightly, "Speaking of congratulations, I should congratulate Mr. Jin first."
"Oh? Why should I be happy?"
"You and Mr. Jiang are about to get married, right? I heard that the new company is running smoothly, and I think you two will soon be a perfect couple. The two chairmen must be so happy that they can't stop smiling and can't sleep."
There was a three-second pause on the other end of the phone, and Xiang Nuan seemed to be able to see her expression which was three parts angry and three parts disgusted.
"Since we both have blessings to send to each other, why not send them in person?"
"That's great. We will visit you as soon as we return home. But... I don't know if we will be able to make it in time for your wedding."
"Master Xiang is really becoming more and more fond of joking, but you are right, blessings must be given in time to show sincerity. I am not afraid that you can't come back, I am the same in France."
"Are you... in France now?"
Xiang Nuan pretended to be surprised, only to hear Jin Nuo sneer. This play was indeed a bit exaggerated. Well, I need to work on my acting skills with Jiang Yunhui. How come he retired from the entertainment industry, but my acting skills have become rusty?
"I am more sincere. I just happened to arrive in France."
"You have come here in person with such sincere blessings, so it would be impolite of me if I don't accept it personally. Where are you? I will come to find you." Xiang Nuan flexed her cheeks and hung up the phone. A fake smile always made her face hurt.
"Tell Elena that I'm going to be out for a while." Xiang Nuan had just said that to Casey when she saw Elena push open the door and wave at her.
Casey shrugged, smiled, pushed her and said, "Definitely let you go with her to see Lucas."
"Me?" She waved her hands as she walked away. "That's not a good idea."
"Come with me to meet someone at noon. This Vincent is a very important person..." As expected, Elena did not give her a chance to speak. She repeated in more detail what Casey had just told her like a machine gun, almost without taking a breath in between.
"Meeting Vincent is a big deal for the company. I'm an outsider and don't understand business, so I'll just be causing more trouble. And when talking to someone like him, professionalism is the most important thing." Xiang Nuan wasn't being pretentious, but was really thinking about Elena.
"Vincent's initiative to contact me at this time is not unrelated to what happened yesterday. Having you here will definitely add points." Elena insisted on her opinion.
"On the other hand, if you were Vincent and decided to cooperate with a company, what would you focus on?" Xiang Nuan advised, "Would it be the popularity of a model or a celebrity, or the ability and creativity of you as the person in charge?"
"You are not..."
"It doesn't matter what I am. My presence and yesterday's success are, in his eyes, a reflection of your decision-making ability. He wants to see you. He wants to make sure you are someone worth cooperating with."
Xiang Nuan's firm gaze left her unable to come up with any other reasons, and she realized that these words were right.
"Besides, I was just about to tell you that I have to go out for a while." Xiang Nuan took advantage of her hesitation and quickly changed the subject.
"Are you going out?" Elena asked.
"The matter at the police station is not over yet. I just called and asked them to handle it."
"You go alone? That won't do, Pete..."
"Hey, Vincent, Vincent! Pay attention!" Xiang Nuan hugged her shoulders and said with a smile, "I'm not a three-year-old child, don't worry."
"Is it really possible?"
"I wish you success, use your charm to take him down in one fell swoop!" Xiang Nuan raised her arm and clenched her fist, then ignored her nagging. She jumped out of the door, as if she was going to an amusement park instead of a police station.
"Let Luna come over." Looking at her back, Elena said thoughtfully.
Peter's eyes followed Xiang Nuan away, and he forgot to respond to Elena's words for a moment. It was not until she looked at him speechlessly that he quickly regained his composure and took action immediately.
Luna is the head of the company's human resources team. While contacting Luna, Pete was thinking. He had a feeling that Elena would definitely use a big move to keep Xiang Nuan...
