CHAPTER 74: CHAPTER 65: WAS I SEEING THINGS?

It was as if the executives were being roasted over a fire to a certain degree. His dark eyes swept over their anxious, bewildered faces, several of them covered in beads of sweat.

Mr. Bao’s lips slightly moved and his magnetic voice sounded, carrying a strong sense of intimidation and command: "I’ll give you one last week, if you can’t get it right this time, you can pack your things and retire early!"

"The Bao Group does not support useless people!"

The cold voice penetrated the ears of all the executives.

The few who were named couldn’t help but shiver slightly.

Yet they felt a sense of relief from the bottom of their hearts.

They quickly responded, "Yes."

"Mr. Bao, rest assured, we will give you an answer."

"That’s right."

The executives promised one after another.

They knew that this was already Mr. Bao’s exception to forgive them. Those who had followed Bao Ye’s work style for a long time knew something about it.

Compared to the earlier angry outburst, giving them a week was already a special grace from him.

To them, this was already an unexpected delight.

They just didn’t understand why Mr. Bao changed his mind so quickly.

Someone couldn’t help but wonder.

Maybe it had something to do with the call Mr. Bao took earlier.

The meeting ended, and Mr. Bao took Chen Nan back to the office.

The man had just sat down when Chen Nan, standing beside him, pondered and said, "Mr. Bao, have you really decided to make Miss Jiang the spokesperson for Bao Group?"

Bao Ye glanced at him with dark eyes, a calm tone: "Any problem?"

Chen Nan said, "No, it’s just that Bao Family never had a spokesperson before..."

Bao Ye interrupted him: "From now on, there will be."

His tone was casual, yet carried an invisible firmness.

Chen Nan knew that once Bao Ye was determined, nobody could change his mind, so he stopped speaking.

In the castle villa.

Jiang Ruan finished signing the contract, and the servant sent it to Bao Ye.

Such a great fortune suddenly fell upon Jiang Ruan, making her feel a bit dizzy.

Actually, what excited Jiang Ruan more wasn’t being the spokesperson for Bao Group, but Mr. Bao’s words.

In his mind, was she the only choice?

This was his recognition of her.

Only heaven knows how excited and happy Jiang Ruan was. No one does not want to be recognized by their man.

Looking at the copy in her hand, Jiang Ruan suppressed her excitement, cheerfully washed up and did her makeup, and then headed straight to the company.

At the company, Sister Qin was training novices.

Jiang Ruan was not in a rush, watching the serious lecture of Sister Qin through the large glass, and the rows of young girls standing behind her.

Pure, glamorous...

There were all kinds of styles and looks.

It was as if it was a large-scale beauty pageant scene.

The entertainment industry is never short of beauties, because anyone who is beautiful and with enough advantages tries to break into the industry.

No one doesn’t want to become famous and reap benefits.

Be it men or women.

Jiang Ruan sat on the chair outside, quietly waiting for her, and watching the environment inside, she couldn’t help but recall when she first joined the company.

It was the same, with a bunch of people standing.

Back then, she was just an innocent girl who felt that Sister Qin was so powerful, so impressive, knowing so much.

Later, as they got familiar, they became close friends who talked about anything.

Sister Qin’s assistant came over, smiled and greeted Jiang Ruan: "Here to see Sister Qin? Do you want me to call her?"

Jiang Ruan said: "No need, Momo, I’ll just wait here for a while."

"Alright." Momo said, "Then I’ll make you a coffee, the usual?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Yes."

She smiled sweetly and gently: "Thank you."

"No need to be polite."

Soon, Momo brought over a cup of iced Americano.

Jiang Ruan took a sip and casually opened Weibo, posting something to engage with fans.

As soon as she opened it, she saw comments from fans, some praising and some criticizing.

Jiang Ruan had long been used to it.

Handling work.

By the time the Americano was finished, Sister Qin had also wrapped up and come out.

"Sweetheart, what brings you to me?" Sister Qin came over, putting her hand on her shoulder: "Have I kept you waiting? Ah, I’ve been so busy these days. My head is full of newbie training."

Jiang Ruan beamed: "Quickly sit down and rest a bit."

"There’s something I want to tell you."

Sister Qin raised her eyebrows, her neatly trimmed eyebrows exceptionally sharp and capable. She sat down and tucked the hair behind her ears.

"Alright, go ahead."

"Good news or bad news, is it important?"

Sister Qin pursued, then continued speaking.

"Whatever it is, just message me directly, so you don’t have to make a trip, it’s tiring."

"It’s nothing." Jiang Ruan suppressed the smile on her face, cleared her throat, and then handed the document to her: "Take a look at this."

Sister Qin accepted it calmly, but the moment she opened and saw the contents, her eyes widened instantly.

She suddenly exploded: "Wow!"

A woman’s voice suddenly swore in the corridor.

"Am I seeing things???"

The newcomers just coming out were startled upon hearing this.

But Sister Qin had no time to control her emotions now. She was so excited that her hand holding the document trembled, she suddenly looked up at Jiang Ruan.

"Global spokesperson for Bao Group?"

"Bao Family signed a contract with you?"

"When did this happen? How come I didn’t know anything about it?"

"Jiang Ruan, do I even exist as your agent in your eyes?"

By the end of her sentence, Sister Qin was getting angry.

Jiang Ruan heard her high-pitched voice and quickly grabbed her hand, turning her head to look, seeing the newcomers all looking this way.

They didn’t understand what was going on.

What made Sister Qin speak so loudly.

"Sister Qin, calm down, you’re scaring them."

"This really came out of the blue, I signed the contract today, and I was quite shocked."

"You signed today?" Sister Qin asked her, "When did you get involved with the Bao Family people? Jiang Ruan, be honest with me, did someone in there use this contract to pressure you, and then you..."

Such a great opportunity suddenly hitting Jiang Ruan made Sister Qin have to think elsewhere.

Although she did have a point.

But Jiang Ruan couldn’t admit: "No, Sister Qin, what do you take me for."

"Indeed the contract was signed suddenly, but it was the Bao Family who contacted me. They said my image fits their global spokesperson, so they wanted to sign a contract with me. I looked at the papers and saw no issues, so I signed."

"If I didn’t sign, they’d go for someone else, then I’d really be missing out."

Listening to Jiang Ruan’s words, Sister Qin sighed with relief. She realized she had been too impulsive.

She calmed down.

"Alright, although I dream of you being super famous, but darling let me tell you, some paths offer benefits but they’re immediate ones, compromise once and you’ll get into the habit, slowly compromising countless times, understand?"

"You must hold to your principles."

Sister Qin advised earnestly.

"I understand, Sister Qin." Her most fragile chord was struck, Jiang Ruan’s face was somewhat stiff, not knowing what expression to use to respond.

She sighed, fate is beyond one’s control.

Sister Qin instantly got excited, tightly staring at the documents: "Bao Family’s spokesperson, wow, darling you’re truly lucky."

"No way, I have to hold a meeting now, such a great thing can’t just be known by the two of us."

"We need to discuss thoroughly how to do the work in the future with them."

"Darling, you must attend. After all, this is your spokesperson role."

Jiang Ruan nodded, answering: "Okay."

Just as she stood up, she was bear-hugged by Sister Qin, who couldn’t contain her excitement: "With this spokesperson role, you’ll be one step closer to being at the top!"

"Darling, come here let me give you a kiss, you’re just amazing!"

Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but laugh, quickly pushing her away, coughing lightly to remind: "Sister Qin, take a look behind you."

Sister Qin didn’t immediately react: "Huh?"

"What’s there behind?"

Sister Qin let go of her, turned to look, only to see the new recruits around the glass window all looking this way.

When they saw her looking over, they quickly scattered.

Sister Qin was instantly petrified.

Jiang Ruan’s teasing voice came: "Sister Qin, there goes your image."

Sister Qin: "..."

The meeting was only halfway through when the Bao Family people showed up, precisely for the spokesperson matter.

It was remarkably fast.

Sister Qin could only pause the meeting and negotiate with the company people and the Bao Family representatives.

But the Bao Family representatives were clearly well-prepared, from their tone to the discussion of contract content, everything was in favor of Jiang Ruan.

In less than half an hour, the contract was signed, and then they left.

Seeing them off at the company entrance, Sister Qin’s smile finally faded, and she was quite suspicious.

Jiang Ruan looked at her: "What’s wrong?"

"Is something off?"

Sister Qin shook her head: "No, it’s just too smooth."

"I’ve been in this business for so many years and have never seen such a smooth negotiation, aren’t the Bao Family people known for being calculative? Just like that Bao Family person in charge, Mr. Bao?"

"Why were the ones who came so agreeable? No matter what we said, they agreed?"

"It’s really odd."

Jiang Ruan had it figured out in her mind, well, why else would it be, it must be because Bao Ye said something.

Suddenly, that man’s image in her heart stood taller once again.

Jiang Ruan’s eyes sparkled, coaxing Sister Qin: "Hey, isn’t this a good thing."

"Alright, don’t overthink it."

Since the contract is signed, thinking too much won’t help.

Sister Qin said: "Well, after all, no matter how you look at it, it’s a good thing. Tonight, I’ll call everyone from the company, and I’ll treat everyone to dinner!"

"You must come too, being Bao Family’s spokesperson, Superstar Jiang, you have a bright future ahead!"

Sister Qin playfully nudged her with her waist.

Jiang Ruan stuck out her tongue, saying: "Okay."

Internally, she was planning.

How to sneak off early tonight, Bao Ye has helped her so much, she must find a way to thank him, right?

With different thoughts, the two turned back to the company.

Meanwhile, at Bao Group.

In the spacious and bright office, Bao Ye was working, the office door was gently knocked, a voice came: "Report."

Bao Ye didn’t lift his head: "Come in."

The two sent to Jiang Ruan’s company came in, bowing: "Mr. Bao, we have signed the contract with Miss Jiang Ruan, here are the documents, please review them."

The person on the left respectfully handed it over.

Bao Ye finally raised his head, took the documents, glanced briefly with his dark eyes, and then placed them to the side.

He asked: "Did they make any requests?"

"No."

"Miss Jiang Ruan was very cooperative."

"Hmm." Bao Ye said plainly: "Contact the PR and marketing departments to release a statement."

"Okay."
