59 Chapter 59
Spend money
When Zhao Heyuan heard Zhang Li's words, she wanted to gasp.
Although the G family has never had trouble selling luxury goods, it doesn't mean that their branches are the same.
Their monthly performance requirements were a sword hanging over their heads. On top of that, many wealthy individuals enjoyed overseas shopping. To increase customer retention, these branches had tried every possible means, even custom services at the lowest level. Sometimes, even managers had to compromise their reputation and cater to these demands in order to attract key clients.
When Cheng Yu contacted them, Zhao Heyuan thought that Zhang Li was really popular recently, and her looks and figure were unique among female stars. She also heard that she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. If she won the award, the dress she wore would also be a signature item, so she agreed.
But she never expected that what she had agreed to 'borrow' would suddenly become 'buy'?!
Anyone who can sit in this position will naturally have a more agile mind.
Zhao Heyuan quickly thought of what Cheng Wanrong had just said. The dress provided by C family to Zhang Li was actually out of season!
This recently famous actress must have been pissed off by the C family, so she wanted to get back at them.
After figuring it out, Zhao Heyuan immediately smiled neither servilely nor arrogantly.
"Ms. Zhang Li, we've already reserved a couture dress for you from this season's runway show. However, our G Group headquarters is overseas, and we collaborate with many international superstars. Therefore, the dresses our branch can request don't meet your requirements. How about I inquire about the situation at headquarters first?"
Zhao Heyuan's words may seem ordinary, but they are actually very clever. Not only does she imply that what her family provides Zhang Li is the haute couture from this season's show, she also uses C's out-of-season dresses to highlight their importance to Zhang Li. She also reasonably states that her branch does not have the same authority as the headquarters and needs to apply for it, thus raising Zhang Li's level.
"Can."
After getting Zhang Li's answer, Zhao Heyuan immediately arranged for his assistant to come and entertain him, and he quickly left the office to negotiate with the headquarters.
Fortunately, she soon received good news that the headquarters still had three dresses from the new season's most high-end series!
The G family originally didn't want to sell, but after hearing the conditions offered by Zhang Li, the people at their headquarters fell silent.
A dress from their new season collection costs only over a million dollars, and two high-end pieces plus jewelry only cost a few million, while the other party's chips are tens of millions of dollars, and there's no upper limit...
Although this is not much compared to their annual income, it is the price quoted by a single customer!
The other party can spend so much at one time, what about in the future?
The order from headquarters came down quickly!
Sell! If not now, when?!
Zhao Heyuan was overjoyed when she got the news. Before returning to her office, she took a few deep breaths to suppress her excitement, and then walked in with a friendly smile.
Zhang Li and Cheng Yu only ordered a cup of tea each.
Cheng Wanrong, who had originally wanted to watch the fun, no longer understood where things were going. She and her assistant were still confused, so they ordered tea like Zhang Li and the others. When the tea arrived, Cheng Wanrong suddenly remembered that she liked coffee better.
She took a sip of tea and felt that the food had no taste.
Zhang Li is just a quasi-second-tier star, and even a manager of the C branch looks down on her. Why does she have the right to talk about tens of millions or even hundreds of millions?
But she immediately thought of Zhang Li's rumored ambiguous relationship with Wancheng's top management.
But is this status really that effective? Even if she casually spends tens of millions or even hundreds of millions on two haute couture dresses, it's okay?!
She has seen many artists in the circle become lovers of big bosses for money and resources, both men and women, but none of them can get such favor from the sponsor.
She couldn't help but wonder, is the big boss behind Zhang Li serious about her?
But if they really want to get serious, they should be wary of the entertainment industry, which is full of unspoken rules and dirtiness. Why would the other party be willing to let Zhang Li stay?
Zhang Li is so bold! She's clearly been promoted by someone, yet she still dares to spend money like this. Isn't she afraid that her financial backer will see through her greedy nature and despise her?!
Cheng Wanrong didn't know what to feel for a moment. She was shocked, confused, and jealous, but what she felt most was envy.
Tens of millions, hundreds of millions, just to buy two skirts?!
She can’t even save tens of millions in a year!
However, no matter how complicated her emotions were, she could not stop things from developing.
After Zhao Heyuan came back, he informed Zhang Li that there were still three high-end orders left at the headquarters.
She also asked her assistant to bring a tablet and give all the things sent from the headquarters to Zhang Li for review.
The high-end series of G's dresses are all gorgeous, and the remaining three haute couture pieces are even more dazzling, a silver tight-fitting long dress covered with diamonds, a tight-fitting gauze dress with very complicated craftsmanship, and a rose-red dress that blooms like a flame.
All three are extremely beautiful.
Zhang Li looked at it and didn't know how to make a choice for a moment.
Just when everyone thought she was just hesitant, unexpectedly, Zhang Li nodded her forehead and pushed the tablet away.
"This choice is too much of a hassle. Mr. Zhao, please ask me if I can take all three."
Cheng Wanrong almost choked.
It took Zhao Heyuan a second to react, "Okay, I'll ask again."
This was also the first time that G's headquarters had encountered such a situation, but since they wanted to win over this big customer, they had to take advantage of the situation to win him over.
So Zhang Li received an answer quickly.
"Headquarters said yes. Once you place your order, they'll immediately airfreight it over and modify it to your measurements. It'll definitely arrive two days before the opening of the Hundred News Awards."
"That's settled then, what about the other things?"
Zhao Heyuan immediately understood what Zhang Li said, then clicked on the tablet to bring up a page.
"This contains the items from all our stores in City A. Our branch warehouse has most of them in stock. Do you want a model to demonstrate them to you right away?"
"No need to show it. I don't have much time. Just pick it on the tablet."
"Okay." Zhao Heyuan personally took another computer and started registering.
Zhang Li chose very casually. He would directly bid for whatever he liked, no matter how high the price was.
"This one... this one... this one... this series, except for this one, I want all the others..."
After rowing for most of the day, seeing that she seemed a little tired, Zhao Heyuan asked her assistant to come in and squat beside Zhang Li to row for her.
When Zhang Li was almost done talking, he asked Zhao Heyuan to do some statistics and found that including two high-end custom-made items and jewelry, the total was less than 60 million.
Zhang Li directly signaled Assistant Zhao Heyuan to hand over the rest to Cheng Yu.
"Sister Cheng, choose whatever you like, and pick some as gifts for the people in the company."
Cheng Yu knew that she never said anything empty, so she smiled and started choosing without any hesitation.
She originally thought that everyone in the company had different identities, so the gifts should be assigned different prices, but after choosing for a while, she was a little dazzled.
Cheng Yu also started to ignore the quality and just blindly choose like Zhang Li.
At this time, Zhang Li had already started playing with his mobile phone.
For some reason, Cheng Wanrong and her assistant were by her side all the way, their eyes almost popping out, but Zhao Heyuan seemed to be blind to her, and kept communicating with Zhang Li and Cheng Yu, ignoring her.
After Chengyu has finished choosing, let Zhao Heyuan do the calculation.
Zhao Heyuan finished the calculation and smiled: "The total is 89,879,000. I can make up for it and remove the remaining 879,000."
"Don't bother with the decimals. Consider it a reward for Mr. Zhao and your assistant's hard work. I'll have Sister Cheng send you the size. It's getting late today, and I have things to do. Just go ahead and get it."
Zhang Li didn't look up. She didn't know what attracted her to the phone. She took out a black card from her bag and handed it over.
When Zhao Heyuan heard that the change was to be used as labor fee, she did not show much change, but her assistant could not help but show joy on her face.
"Thank you, Miss Zhang Li!"
I just came to serve tea and pour water, and stroke the tablet, but I got a hard work fee of hundreds of thousands. It's worth it no matter how you look at it!
The assistant wishes Zhang Li could come over every day!
Although Zhao Heyuan didn't show it on her face, she was still excited in her heart.
"Thank you, Miss Zhang Li."
You know, in addition to Zhang Li’s hard work fee which is equivalent to a tip, there is also a huge commission and bonus waiting for him!
Because the transaction amount was quite large, the bank even called to verify it, but Zhang Li handled it calmly.
And all this happened right under Cheng Wanrong's nose.
Seeing that Zhang Li really spent more than 80 million yuan, not only buying things for himself but also letting Cheng Yu choose things worth more than 30 million yuan, she and her assistant were completely devastated.
The assistant next to her even felt deeply jealous of Zhao Heyuan's assistant. After all, she worked tirelessly to follow Cheng Wanrong, and her monthly salary was less than 10,000 yuan!
"Sister Cheng, please follow up on what's next. Let's go back now."
Cheng Yu nodded: "Okay."
"Then I'll see Miss Zhang Li off!"
While Zhang Li and Cheng Yu were getting up, Zhao Heyuan quickly took out his cell phone, sent a message in a group, and then deliberately glanced at his assistant.
The assistant received the signal and hurried to check. He found that Zhao Heyuan was in the branch group, notifying everyone present to gather at the door and then send Zhang Li off.
She immediately understood what he meant and quickly sent three messages to everyone in the group.
As Zhao Heyuan accompanied Zhang Li and Cheng Yu forward, the people in the building also saw the news.
Although they didn't understand what was going on, everyone still gathered at the door according to Zhao Heyuan's instructions.
When Zhang Li came down the circular staircase, he saw that the originally empty hall was full of people.
Zhao Heyuan explained, "Because of Miss Zhang Li's order worth over 89 million today, everyone in our branch will receive a bonus, so I specially asked them to come and give you a present as well."
After hearing this, the others' eyes, which were originally confused, suddenly lit up.
"Thank you, Miss Zhang Li!" Everyone shouted at the same time, so loud that it could be heard far away outside the door.
Zhang Li smiled and instantly understood what Zhao Heyuan wanted to do.
She gave Zhao Heyuan a meaningful look, then said, "When new products arrive each season, you can contact Sister Cheng or my assistant."
"Okay!" The smile on Zhao Heyuan's face deepened.
She brought everyone from the branch and sent Zhang Li to the sidewalk outside the door, which was like a small square.
Zhang Li’s nanny car was already waiting by the road.
A group of people escorted Zhang Li to the car and thanked and said goodbye again with joy.
"Thank you, Miss Zhang Li! Goodbye, Miss Zhang Li!!"
There were not many pedestrians on this street, but their huge movement attracted the attention of many of their colleagues around them.
Especially the C family across the street. Not only did the front desk notice this strange phenomenon, but even people in the building heard the noise.
Some people looked through the windows and found that all the people in the building opposite had come out, as if they were sending someone off, and they couldn't help but become curious.
The general manager of the C branch was in his office behind the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor. He saw his arch-enemy Zhao Heyuan across the street at a glance. When he saw her expression, he felt it was a bit strange for some reason.
Zhao Heyuan seemed to have noticed his gaze and looked straight at him.
Although they didn't look at each other directly, Zhao Heyuan still looked at her for a long time before looking away.
After seeing Zhang Li off, Zhao Heyuan seemed to remember that Cheng Wanrong was still here.
"Oh, yes, Miss Wanrong seems to be looking for me too? Sorry, I was busy serving Miss Zhang Li just now. What can I do for you?"
Hearing this, the other members of the G family all looked over expectantly.
According to Mr. Zhao, Miss Zhang Li spent nearly 90 million yuan at the G family in just one afternoon. Could it be that Miss Wanrong, a top-tier celebrity, is also so generous?!
When Cheng Wanrong came over, she just wanted to make fun of Zhang Li. She didn't plan to buy anything. And even if she bought something, she couldn't surpass Zhang Li!
But she was stuck here, unable to go up or down, and could only smile awkwardly, "Actually, I just came here mainly to accompany Xiao Li."
Zhao Heyuan knew what she was thinking. It was just that Zhang Li had spent so much money on her and became their VIC client. She had to make sure that Zhang Li spent his money comfortably, so she deliberately left Cheng Wanrong, who wanted to watch the show, behind to slap her in the face.
"I see... If Miss Wanrong is alright, I'll go deal with Miss Zhang Li first."
"Okay." Cheng Wanrong awkwardly stepped aside with her assistant.
After everyone from the G family entered the building, she quickly called the driver to drive the car over.
Just now, when she was next to Zhang Li and Zhao Heyuan, she felt like she was being pricked by thorns all over her body. Not only did she not see Zhang Li embarrassed herself, but she was also made to look completely unlike a top-tier star by her extravagance. She was truly humiliated!
If she had known earlier, why would she have to pick on Zhang Li?
She swore that she would try her best to stay away from Zhang Li in the future!
After Zhao Heyuan brought his people in, the others could no longer contain their curiosity.
"Mr. Zhao, Miss Zhang Li just spent over 80 million, almost 90 million!"
"That's right!" Zhao Heyuan finally stopped pretending, her face filled with joy. "No one needs to worry about next year's performance! I'll have the finance department do the statistics, and everyone's bonus this month will not be less than 50,000!"
“Ah ...
Zhao Heyuan signaled to her assistant, and then the two of them went upstairs.
"Sister Yuan." The assistant's eyes lit up.
"Ms. Zhang Li said that the 800,000 yuan is for hard work. I will ask the finance department to transfer 500,000 yuan to your account when the time comes."
"Ah!——" The assistant thought that she could only get 100,000 or 200,000 yuan at most, but she didn't expect Zhao Heyuan to give her so much.
She almost couldn't help but scream.
Zhao Heyuan understood her surprise and patted her on the shoulder. "If I'm too busy from now on, I'll leave Miss Zhang Li's job to you. Do your best! Don't make any mistakes!"
"Okay!" The assistant nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Then, go help me with something..."
"What's the matter?" The assistant was now full of enthusiasm for his work.
-
Not long after Zhang Li left, something very exciting suddenly happened on the Internet.
No one knows who took a screenshot of the general manager of G's A-city branch's WeChat Moments, which contained an extremely exaggerated list, claiming that a certain second-tier actress had bought nearly 100 million worth of luxury goods from G, including three exquisite high-end custom-made items from the headquarters.
Even three haute couture pictures were leaked.
As for who this actress is, Mr. Zhao just kept it a secret and called her Miss Zhang.
At this point, many curious netizens began to speculate.
His last name was Zhang, and he was a second-tier star. Plus, he was going to need a haute couture dress soon, so everyone quickly locked onto Zhang Li.
Everyone was shocked and created an entry #Zhang Li is suspected of spending nearly 100 million yuan at G's house at one time#, which quickly became a hot search.
As a competitor of G in the same industry, C’s public relations department is always paying attention to the other party’s movements.
The other side had already made a big fuss in the afternoon, and Family C was still curious about what had happened to them, but then this hot search came out.
They immediately connected the dots.
After reading this trending search, the general manager of Company C couldn't help but frown.
Zhang Li spent nearly 100 million at the G family?!
How is this possible? !
Zhang Li was just a quasi-second-tier figure, and he seemed to vaguely remember that when the monthly report was submitted, it was mentioned that Zhang Li's agent had reserved a high-end dress from their C family. So what did Zhang Li buy at G family?!
Could it be that Zhang Li dislikes their dresses?
Thinking of this, the general manager of Company C could no longer hold back and directly called the manager in charge of formal wear to the office for questioning.
The manager surnamed Luo didn't know about the hot search yet, so he concealed the details of how he had arranged an out-of-season dress for Zhang Li. He just said that Zhang Li was not satisfied with their arrangement and left.
"So she went straight to the G family? Is it true that she spent nearly 100 million at the G family as reported on trending topics?!"
Manager Luo was confused: "What do you mean one hundred million?"
He didn't know the general manager was suspicious and looked at him with a cold look. "Even if she doesn't like it, our C family at least agreed to her agent's request to borrow the dress. But she went across the street to spend money. Do you think this is reasonable?"
Manager Luo was almost sweating.
In other words, after Zhang Li discovered their perfunctory attitude, he deliberately went across from them and spent nearly 100 million...
That’s one hundred million!
What has he done!
If he had just flattered Zhang Li, wouldn't the 100 million yuan in sales revenue have been his?! What would the G family have to do with it?!
As soon as the general manager of Company C saw his expression, he understood everything.
"I don't think you're very suitable for this position. Pack up and go work in the store."
Manager Luo was shocked, but facing the insightful look of his general manager, he was forced to swallow all his words.
-
The news that Zhang Li spent nearly 100 million yuan was not only seen by netizens, but also by other people who had interactions with her.
Some people, such as Sun Mian, who will be participating in the Baiwen Awards with her, even sent her messages to ask if it was true.
Zhang Li knew at a glance that this hot search must be Zhao Heyuan's "masterpiece". After all, she had just left and the matter began to ferment. Obviously, other people were not so well-informed.
After thinking about it carefully, the reason why Zhao Heyuan did this, besides advertising for his own company, probably had another purpose, which was to let everyone who should know know through this method.
And the person who should know this is naturally the C family that had just offended her.
Even when she left, Zhao Heyuan deliberately asked everyone in the branch to see her off.
I have to say that Zhao Heyuan's ability to understand people's thoughts is quite good.
Although she planned to wait until she wore the G family dress and walked on the red carpet before giving a thank you to the C family, she didn't expect Zhao Heyuan to do it for her in advance.
In the evening, Cheng Yu called.
"The vice president of C company just called me. He said that the incident was done by a manager in charge of formal wear. He has now been transferred to the store. I didn't say anything. I guess we won't be cooperating with them in the future."
Zhang Li indicated that he knew.
The matter came to an end.
However, the things that Zhang Li asked Cheng Yu to pick out for others made everyone in Lingman happy for a while.
Not to mention Zhang Li's team. As Zhang Li's closest members, they naturally received the best gifts. Even Yu Feiyu couldn't help but sigh at her generosity.
Needless to say, the other artists and company members were so moved by the more than 20 million in benefits they received, including jewelry, clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories.
Zhao Heyuan kept her promise, and the dresses and jewelry from G headquarters were delivered to Zhang Li as quickly as possible. As for the other things, Zhang Li even bought a villa next to the apartment to accommodate them.
The three dresses were even more beautiful and dazzling than in the photos.
The team's stylist was very excited. After seeing the dress, she began to imagine what hairstyle she should match it with.
The staff of G family spent a day making final adjustments for Zhang Li to ensure that Zhang Li's figure and the dress fit perfectly.
After trying them on, Zhang Li finally decided on the rose red dress and the silver rhinestone long dress.
The rose-red dress was worn on the red carpet, and then changed into a silver rhinestone long dress after entering the venue.
Finally, with the online buzz in full swing, this year's Hundred News Awards opened before the arrival of the Lunar New Year.
