Vol V Chapter 32

During lunchtime, I shared the latest development with Zhang Tingmei and Liu Xue.

"Brother Nan, that lady is definitely trying to sideline you and push you toward resignation. You don't need to do such a thing," Zhang Tingmei advised.

"Yeah, Brother Nan, don't fall for it. Why would you go to the advertising department? They deal with celebrity endorsements, and it's not something you're familiar with," Liu Xue chimed in.

I replied, "What can I do? The advertising department wants me to select the top ten best-selling samples based on sales performance and send them over. They also want me to cooperate with the factory whenever needed. This tigress is asking me to run errands for them."

Both Zhang Tingmei and Liu Xue understood the situation and continued to express their concerns.

"Liu Yan? The superstar, Liu Yan?" Zhang Tingmei was surprised at the mention of Liu Yan's name.

"Yes, it's Liu Yan. The advertising department must be in a frenzy right now. Maybe Liu Yan is really difficult to reach. That's why it's taking so long," I explained.

"I'm a big fan of Liu Yan," Zhang Tingmei exclaimed.

"Tingmei, focus! We're talking about Brother Nan having to run errands in the advertising department," Liu Xue reminded her.

Seeing Zhang Tingmei this excited, I chuckled and suggested to them, "Anyway, your bonuses and commissions this month are quite generous. Let's celebrate."

"Haha, we can always rely on you for that."

"That's right, that's right."

As Zhang Tingmei and Liu Xue celebrated, I was lost in thought. Besides going to the factory in the afternoon, I also had to go to the advertising department and confirm tomorrow's work tasks.

After temporarily assigning the current tasks to Zhang Tingmei and Liu Xue, I left the office after lunch.

On the way, I received a phone call. To my surprise, He Lulu would be arriving in Shanghai at three in the afternoon. I had to help her settle in. Besides that, I was also thinking about how to deal with Sun Dan tonight.

I picked up a dozen best-selling samples from the factory and went to the advertising department. Since Sun Dan had already informed them of my arrival, I was immediately ushered in to have a chat with their manager, Lan Xinmei in her office.

"Mr. Lin, do help us out," Lan Xinmei looked at me in surprise and continued.

Lan Xinmei was the manager of the advertising department. She was not only particularly beautiful, but she was also a graduate from overseas. Lan Xinmei had made significant contributions to the company's branding.

"Miss Lan, don't worry. May we pull this off," I quickly said.

"Yes, but we are facing some challenges on our side. You know that Miss Liu Yan is the celebrity we've chosen as the most suitable for the brand's clothing. However, apart from our company, Ya Die is also pursuing Liu Yan for endorsement," Lan Xinmei nodded slightly and smiled bitterly.

"Ya Die?" I frowned.

"Yes, Ya Die is an old rival and has always been forcing us into a corner," Lan Xinmei quickly said.

"What should we do then? Won't the highest bidder get the celebrity endorsement?" I rested my chin on my hand and quickly asked.

"Of course. Tomorrow night, we will invite Miss Liu Yan's manager to dinner, together with our colleagues from the public relations department. We hope to gauge the situation and get an idea of the endorsement fee." Lan Xinmei paused before asking me, "Are you free tomorrow night?"

I gave it some thought and quickly agreed.

"Alright, see you tomorrow night. We don't have much on our schedule for the time being," Lan Xinmei smiled.

"Alright," I nodded slightly. I was happy to have some free time.

Since I had to deal with Sun Dan, it all fell in place.

After leaving the advertising department, I quickly contacted He Lulu and drove to pick her up.

When I arrived at the train station, I finally saw He Lulu.

After the long National Day holidays, I saw He Lulu again. She seemed even more beautiful. She was wearing a set of sportswear and wore her hair in a ponytail. She was slender and elegant. A suitcase hung by her side.

"Brother Nan!" He Lulu waved as she saw my car.

I stopped the car in front of her, loaded her suitcase into the trunk, and gestured for her to get in.

"How's the job search going?" I looked at He Lulu, who was in the front passenger seat, and asked while driving.

"Yeah, I found a modeling job at a company in Xu Hui." He Lulu nodded slightly. For some reason, her face blushed.

"That's good. You can stay at my place tonight. Tomorrow, I'll help you find a house," I smiled.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Nan," He Lulu bit her lip and quickly agreed.

Excited about the idea of He Lulu staying at my house, I couldn't help but feel a little thrilled, thinking about how I could spend the night with her.

"Let's go home and have dinner," I suggested.

At home, I tidied up the bedroom and then took He Lulu to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

"Brother Nan, can we watch a movie tonight?" He Lulu asked after eating.

"I'm afraid tonight's no good. I have something to attend to and have to go out. You just arrived, so rest up and take a shower," I explained.

"Brother Nan, will Sister-in-law be back tonight?" He Lulu asked while blinking.

"Impossible. Your sister-in-law is overseas and will only be back for Christmas," I replied.

He Lulu looked relieved to hear that.

Since I had to deal with Sun Dan tonight, I had booked a room in the suburbs and informed her to meet me there.

As dusk fell and the sky darkened, I reached the hotel room. I inspected the place and took out a pair of black stockings.

I didn't plan to reveal my true identity. I dressed casually and purchased clothes that differed from my usual style.

"Miss Sun, where are you? Why aren't you here yet?" I messaged Sun Dan on WeChat.

"I'm already at the hotel. Come up immediately," Sun Dan replied anxiously.

I took a few steps to the French window and glanced down. I saw a white Infiniti entering the hotel parking lot. It belonged to Sun Dan. She stepped out of the car, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses to avoid being recognized.

Hmph, watch how I handle you tonight!

I smirked, put on the black stockings over my head, and made eyeholes. I went to the bathroom and checked my appearance in the mirror. I was confident Sun Dan wouldn't recognize me, and a sinister smile crossed my face.
