The power of the Cheng family in Beijing is evident to all. Looking across China, there are almost no people who dare to confront the Cheng family head-on.
This Han Xiao is able to get close to the young master of the Cheng family, so her future is limitless. As long as the Cheng family doesn't fall, she won't be ruined.
Secretary Liu, standing next to Jian He, seemed afraid that Jian He might not know much about the Cheng family's specific situation.
He moved closer to Jian He and told her about the Cheng family's situation.
"President Jian, the Cheng family is very powerful; they are not people we can afford to offend..."
Jian He understood the gist of Secretary Liu's words: since Han Xiao had such a background, signing her for this endorsement, even if it was a bit expensive, was just a way to curry favor with the Cheng family.
Jian He's expression became somewhat complicated.
Han Xiao, true to her name, looked at Jian He with a disdainful smile.
Jian He's mind was racing. Just when everyone thought that Jian He would succumb to the power of the Cheng family, Jian He made a decision that terrified everyone.
She put down her pen and said calmly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Han, we can't sign this endorsement contract..."
As soon as Jian He said this, the atmosphere in the conference room turned cold. Han Xiao's smiling face also turned icy in an instant.
"What did you say?"
She stared at Jian He in disbelief, a hint of wanting to devour her in her eyes.
This is the first time since her debut that someone has dared to so firmly refuse to work with her.
And this happened at the time she brought the Cheng family's house out.
Jian He looked at the angry Han Xiao and said, "Ms. Han, I say, let's end our cooperation here."
“I am a businessman, and a businessman should prioritize his own profit. Miss Han has asked for a sky-high price of 100 million a year, which I simply cannot afford.”
"Besides, signing a five-year contract is too risky until we can confirm that Ms. Han can bring 500 million yuan in benefits to our Jian Group."
"Let's stop here for today, goodbye."
After Jian He finished speaking, she got up and left. As soon as she left, Secretary Liu followed her and left as well.
Rejected and feeling humiliated, Han Xiao roared at Jian He's figure.
"What does she mean? Is she questioning my earning power? Does she think I can't bring her 500 million in profits?"
"Arrogant, so arrogant! She actually left? She really doesn't respect me at all!"
"If I can't sign this contract, no one else can either. I'd like to see which celebrity dares to mess with me, Han Xiao. Jian's Group, you can just wait to die."
Han Xiao's chatter behind her was making Jian He very annoyed.
Back in her office, she rested her head on her hand, pondering how to weather this product crisis.
Secretary Liu and Mason were both sitting in her office.
Secretary Liu was timid and kept telling Jian He about the consequences of offending Han Xiao.
He said, "President Jian, Han Xiao is just a minor celebrity, but the powerful backer behind her is someone we have no choice but to compromise with. If you refuse her like this, what if she retaliates?"
Jian He frowned slightly.
She said, "Our company came here to cooperate with her, not to beg her to do things for us. Her price was too high, and we couldn't agree on the terms, so it's normal for me not to cooperate with her anymore."
"Even if she has the Cheng family as her backer, so what? The Cheng family can't force us to buy or sell, can they?"
“We hired her as our brand ambassador, so we’re her sugar daddy. Look at her arrogant attitude, is that how you treat your father?”
"I refuse to believe that we can't find a crooked tree even with a noose, why do we have to ask her to be our spokesperson?"
Jian He's words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving Secretary Liu speechless, but he still obediently stood aside.
Seeing that Secretary Liu had shut his mouth, Mason stepped forward.
He said to Jian He, "Miss, our company is currently experiencing operational difficulties, all caused by Yin Muqiao when he was in office. The job you're doing now is cleaning up his mess."
"The problems we are facing now are not only operational difficulties, but also the risk of offending the Cheng family in Beijing. Neither of these are good things."
"In my opinion, why don't you contact Attorney Cheng and see if he has any good ideas... In case that celebrity surnamed Han really retaliates, we'll have a way to deal with it, right?"
Mason timely pushed Cheng Yan forward.
Upon hearing Mason mention Cheng Yan, Jian He's deeply furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but the next second, they tightened again.
She remembered what Ye Duoduo had reminded her of.
Cheng Yan is not someone they can afford to offend; it's best to keep your distance from him as much as possible...
But faced with the company's current crisis, Jian He was troubled again.
Mason seemed to sense her thoughts and reminded her, "Miss, Attorney Cheng's law firm has a cooperative relationship with our Jian Group. Why don't you go and consult him? You can pay him; there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
"We're not taking advantage of him, are we?"
As Mason spoke, he stared intently at Jian He's face.
Jian He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll send him a message to contact him..."
When he heard Jian He say that she wanted to contact Cheng Yan, Mason's tense expression instantly relaxed.
He pulled Secretary Liu out of Jian He's office.
Secretary Liu was still complaining to Mason: "Uncle Mason, will hiring Attorney Cheng really solve everything?"
"Just now, I contacted other celebrities privately, but as soon as they heard that it was an endorsement that Han Xiao hadn't signed, they didn't dare to show their faces anymore."
"What should we do?"
Mason reached out and patted Secretary Liu on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, let things play out for a while. Miss will definitely find a solution."
Are you referring to Attorney Cheng?
Faced with Secretary Liu's persistent questioning, Mason smiled but remained silent.
At this moment, Jian He, who was sitting in the office texting Cheng Yan on her phone, looked extremely conflicted.
Since returning from Yangcheng, she has been keeping her distance from Cheng Yan, following Ye Duoduo's advice. She hasn't replied to any of the WeChat messages Cheng Yan sent.
Now that she's taking the initiative to message Cheng Yan, what will Cheng Yan think?
However, for the sake of the Jian Group's interests, Jian He had no choice but to send Cheng Yan a meeting invitation.
She said, "Are you busy? I'd like to see you. Do you have time right now?"
