CHAPTER 696: CHAPTER 696: SHE PROFITED

After speaking, Evelyn Clayton sat down.

The first person on the right, a fashionably dressed girl, eagerly handed Evelyn Clayton a work document, constantly exchanging glances with her.

Evelyn Clayton smiled and glanced back at her.

This girl was May, Evelyn Clayton’s assistant who had been working with her since she was a deputy director. In the design department, she held a position equivalent to deputy director.

And on the left was Winnie Wyatt.

She was looking at the document in her hand at the moment, her expression indifferent.

Evelyn Clayton didn’t pay much attention to her, just waited for a while without anyone reporting their work first.

She lifted her eyes from the document, looked at everyone, and gave an ambiguous smile, "What is it? Haven’t seen each other for a while, feeling a bit shy?"

The crowd remained silent as ever.

Until—

Winnie Wyatt chuckled lightly, saying, "The director has spoken, hurry and report your work."

After she spoke, an employee finally coughed lightly and began talking about recent work.

Evelyn Clayton observed this, half-smiling.

No wonder on her way into the company, so many people mentioned this and that about Winnie Wyatt. Turns out the design department was now under her sway.

Evelyn Clayton wasn’t particularly concerned.

After all, Apex wasn’t her company. Although forced by Pauline Warren last year to sign over five percent of the shares with a consent agreement, she wasn’t narcissistic enough to see herself as the protagonist.

As long as the work was fine, it didn’t matter how much Winnie Wyatt stirred things up.

However, May beside her, was all nose and no eyes the whole time.

"...The design style for the brand this quarter is already set, and the concept launch is underway. It’s just that the endorser needs to be changed, and the advertising department is still selecting new faces."

Winnie Wyatt made the final summary.

Evelyn Clayton had no opinions throughout, but upon hearing the last part, she raised her brows slightly, "Why is the endorser suddenly changing?"

The previous endorser was someone Evelyn Clayton personally selected and secured two years ago. It had always been a long-term collaboration, so why the sudden change?

"Because the previous one was unsuitable." Winnie Wyatt replied expressionlessly, "This proposal has been approved by the big boss, and he signed off. Director Sinclair, do you have any issues?"

Winnie Wyatt’s words bordered on provocation.

Evelyn Clayton smiled, "So it was Vice Director Wyatt who suggested changing the endorser?"

She emphasized the words "Vice Director," successfully making Winnie Wyatt’s expression shift slightly.

Before Winnie Wyatt could speak, May chimed in with a sarcastic tone, "Yes, it was Vice Director Wyatt’s suggestion. Vice Director Wyatt said the previous model Ivy didn’t fit this quarter’s jewelry style and wanted to replace her with Actress Zhang."

Evelyn Clayton raised her brows, her smile deepening, "Actress Zhang? Nadia Archer?"

Nadia Archer was the best actress of the last TV Magnolia Awards, and as the youngest winner, the title of Actress Zhang had already captured public attention.

"Yes." Winnie Wyatt looked directly at Evelyn Clayton, "I think Actress Zhang is indeed more suitable for our Laprite, so I proposed this plan to the big boss. Now we’re just waiting for stakeholder approval. Director Sinclair, even if you have any objections—"

"I have no objections." Evelyn Clayton smiled, interrupting Winnie Wyatt, "Let’s wait for the shareholder meeting to see if they agree. Meeting adjourned."

A flicker of surprise crossed Winnie Wyatt’s eyes.

Evelyn Clayton said no more, picked up her document, and turned to leave.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t help but laugh.

If Nadia Archer truly ended up as the endorser and was suitable, she’d actually benefit from it all.
