Chapter 135

She found herself in the mansion's giant living room, connected to her favorite half-outdoor, half-indoor terrace. "Oh~" Ikana, who had woken up, was looking at Abel with her hands still on his waist. She blushed and gently pushed him. "You can't do that, we haven't established a relationship yet. Abel, you can't do that." What Ikana did not expect was that the force she pushed Abel could be considered insignificant. Abel is easily repelled by her. Also let go of the hand holding it. His large body retreated a few steps to the side, more than a meter away from her. This surprised Ikana, then she heard Abel say: "Oh~ ah, I'm sorry. I don't have a relationship like this. It's my fault. I'm sorry, Ikana. I apologize for my recent behavior. I hope you will forget it immediately. From what I just said, it was reckless. "Sorry, I was too excited just now." Ikana looked at him bewilderedly, her mood changed from excitement, tension, embarrassment, anticipation, excitement like before to negative emotions. She didn't know what Abel meant by that, nor why Abel said that. Her beautiful eyes looked blankly at Abel. She heard Abel continue to smile and say to her: "Consider this a misunderstanding?" What if it is like that? "Also, Ikana, let's go. I remember Ni telling me that he came to see me to talk about YKM. Let's go up to the roof and talk, it's a good place to talk." Wait for Ikana to recover from the negative mental shock. His eye sockets are already red. At this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts: "Is old woman FXXK selling sex for nothing?" Just now, she thought that Abel would take this opportunity to confess his love to her. After all, the two have been unclear for two months. Otherwise, how could he treat her like that in front of so many people? what do you think about her? Do these famous Manhattan recruits come and go? Last time I snacked it was with devotion and joy. Now you want to pretend like nothing happened? Ikana, 19, has difficulty accepting. Luckily, Ikana may not have the highest IQ and her EQ may not be as good as these people. But she has very good self-control. This allowed him to begin planning his own life at the age of eleven or twelve. At that time, this self-control suppressed his painful emotions. She tried her best to calm her red eyes and took a deep breath. She also walked towards the platform that she liked so much and made her linger just now. Now she finds the terrace a bit boring. Enter the platform, Ikana saw Abel sitting on the sofa in the middle of the terrace. also signaled to him: "Ikana, come here, let's sit here and talk." I heard his calm tone, as if he really wanted to talk business. Ikana took a deep breath and approached. Ikana sat next to Abel so that Abel wouldn't look her in the eyes. Stay away from Abel and suddenly discover that his eyes are red. "Okay, it's me. Go ahead, Mr. Smith. After sitting down, Ikana tried her best to appear calm. It was just "Mr. Smith", revealing that she was in an uneasy mood right now. You see, she had been calling "Abel" for almost two months. Now it's Mr. Smith again. Even those who are not slow can hear this change in emotions. But Abel didn't seem to hear, he smiled and said: "Let's talk business first. As YKM's current largest shareholder, I wanted to know Ikana's future plans for the company. » "The business plan I submitted to Smith Capital detailed my plans," Ikana said. "Ah~ Sorry. David sent it to me. But I think instead of looking at the email, you can come and explain it to me in person. This will be more detailed and easier to understand for me. » Abel said bluntly. This made Ikana's heart suddenly stop beating, her tone was a bit gloomy: "Okay. You are the investor and you are the largest shareholder. You have that right. She tried to use a calm voice and said professionally: "So let me, the founder and CEO of YKM, report to you, the investor." Abel was expressionless and even nodded slightly: "I'm listening. Tell me, Ikana." His expression and actions made Ikana's heart ache, and the uncomfortable feeling returned to her heart. Also let her start, cut off the smallest feeling in her heart. [Ikana, you have nothing to do with him, you had a plan all along] [Ikana, now that you are receiving such treatment from him, you asked for it yourself.]

"If you do not approach others with sincerity, if you cannot approach others' sincerity, then you cannot blame others. » Ikana thought. At the same time, his strong self-control helped him not show any wanton behavior on the surface. She said calmly and in a professional tone: "First of all, I must admit that YKM's development in the first 3 years was too sudden." "Barbaric growth has led to barbaric valuations, but this has had intractable consequences for normal development. "THEREFORE." Ikana has tried her best to maintain the standards expected of an outstanding graduate of the Wharton School of Business. Precise words, detailed content, clear steps, clear rhythm to explain to Abel. She explains her revamp of the YKM brand after extensive market research and careful consideration. This involves a lot of data, some of which comes from the YKM brand itself. There is data on the segment field of luxury women's clothing brand for young people to which YKM belongs. There is also comprehensive data on the development of the entire US clothing market. The very detailed data made Abel curious. Let Wall Street analysts come up with this kind of plan. Is that all? About half an hour. Ikana roughly explained to Abel the general content of his plan. During this process, Abel did more than just listen. He will talk about things he doesn't understand. Let Ikana explain to him before continuing. This takes a lot of time. "Summary." The half-hour explanation gave people with strong self-control great mental relief. She looked at Abel seriously, she was really doing business. "For the next development of the YKM brand, I think we should take inspiration from fast luxury brands such as Zara, Handamp;amp;M and UNIQLO. "But we must design and produce products that meet American expectations and align with reality." "As long as we clearly understand these two points, I believe YKM will be able to make a breakthrough on its own development path!" "The above is my summary and summary of YKM's future development ideas as general manager of YKM." Having finished speaking, she calmly looked at Abel. She feels that this face is still very beautiful. Looking at that face from before, she felt her heart skip a beat. Looking at this face now, she still wants to rush over and slap her. "啪~啪~啪~" A gentle clap sounded in Abel's hands. After Ikana finished speaking, Abel gently clapped his hands. "Great business plan. Great ! » I couldn't write it anyway. Abel, a Chinese Internet writer and Texas artistic genius, thought so. Ikana smiled slightly and nodded slightly, which was taken as a humble acknowledgment of his compliment. Anyone who is observant can see that her attitude towards the man in front of her right now is very cold. Change in half an hour, During the performance of the French classic, this type of drunk girl appears. Abel seemed very uncomfortable with this change in her, until now he still hadn't realized it. He always talks about business. "As I know." Abel said gently: "If YKM follows this path, there will initially be a difference of several hundred million USD. Also, I remember that Gap is also creating its own premium fast food brand aimed at women in the United States. "YKM is not without competitors in the United States. In addition to competing with established players in high-end fashion like Zara, it also has to compete with other players in the United States. » "I understand, right? Ikana nodded slightly. This is also the reason why the company's business plan cannot be confirmed by investors who do not have solid financial potential. These investors don't believe she can steer YKM in its own direction amid the siege by domestic giants like fast-food luxury brands and the former Gap.

Even his father didn't believe it. Investors who have fallen into an abyss with no way out can only hold their noses in recognition. There is also Ikana, who also believes in herself a lot. She thought she could develop YKM. "I have confidence." Ikana knows that it is useless for capitalists to say they have faith. Capitalists don't believe in this nonsense, they only believe in detailed data and a profitable future. When she said these words, she herself was a bit hypocritical. Fortunately, 50 million USD from Smith Capital was transferred to YKM's development account. Currently, even if Abel wants to withdraw his shares, it is not so simple. Ikana thought so and she wanted to add some data to make her words more convincing. But contrary to all expectations, Abel spoke first: "It's true, I believe in you too. I believe you can extend YKM. » Ikana was surprised, not knowing why Abel's attitude changed. Just now I clearly banged the pot and asked for an end, determined to clearly explain YKM's future development path. If you are not satisfied, you will withdraw your shares and will not be optimistic about the future of YKM. It's only been a short time, but why has so much changed? She was a bit taken aback. Then she heard Abel talking to her again. "Okay. This is official business. I'm willing to trust you about YKM." "In fact, your fourth business plan was reviewed by Smith Capital. It was because I trusted you that I let them go." "Very well, don't mention these things anymore, just say the same, it's over. The information revealed in his words made Ikana's heart tremble. The plan was approved, but that's not because I did it well? She still went through the back door. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. "Now let's talk about personal matters." Ikana felt a bit disappointed. She saw the expression on Abel's face, from his previous professional attitude. He looked exactly the same as when he was flirting with her. At this moment, Ikana really wanted to say, what private matter should I discuss with you? Just now I did such an outrageous thing, and in just a few seconds I could pretend it never happened. Do you really think that I, Ikana, am an old man in Manhattan? It's just that everyone is under the same roof. No matter what Abel says, she appreciates YKM's biggest supporters. She didn't want to ruin their relationship, risking getting YKM into trouble. Let her spend many difficult years in running water. She tried her best to use her brain, trying to separate herself from Abel as much as possible without making Abel angry. Abel's previous professional attitude and that "free prostitute" look. His broken heart. It doesn't matter how much self-control she has. No matter how ambitious he is, no matter how practical and snobby he is. This year, Ikana is just a nineteen year old girl. There are still feminine emotions. But just now, my feelings were a bit seriously hurt. Suddenly, Ikana had a headache and couldn't think of a better solution than hearing him say: "Okay. It's almost time to get ready, oh, just now. They're out." "Ikana, turn around, look behind you, look at the sky behind you." At the same time, while speaking, he approached Ikana. The latter instinctively wanted to dodge, but was caught directly by him. While she was half-active, Abel pulled a little harder. Ikana turned around and looked at the sky from the outdoor terrace behind her. Outside, on the terrace, under a clear, cloudless, sunny sky. At one point, more than a dozen giant airships appeared. There are dozens of balloons carrying people on board. These airships and hot air balloons fly at specific altitudes. Not too close to the ground nor too high.

At the same time, many large and long banners were hung there. The banners are full of words and images. In addition to balloons and hot air balloons, text and images are also printed there. Ikana finds his photo and name there. Incorrect. The photos above are all his photos. Special words are named after him. [Ikana, happy nineteenth birthday~] [On the occasion of my beloved Ikana's birthday, I wish her eternal happiness~] Happy birthday to beautiful Ikana. ] [Miss Ikana, you are Helen, you are the muse, I wish you to be beautiful forever ~] [.] Look at all the vision that covered him. Covering much of the Beverly Hills skyline, it is filled with giant hot air balloons and airships everywhere. And those images and words are there. Ikana was stunned. Right away, One is magnetism, A thick male voice rang in her ears. "I didn't expect you to come so early. I thought you would come in the evening or at night."

"If you come at that time, what's more, I will also prepare a big fireworks display for you." "Unfortunately, it is daytime now so fireworks cannot appear." "Today is October 30th, your birthday. Happy birthday to my Ikana~" (end of this chapter)
