“Sure,” Lin Wan agreed, her eyes already red.
She took a deep breath and started singing the song “Butterfly”. “Why do chickens lay eggs? Because the eggs have turned into chicks. Why do couples have to kiss? Because the pigeons coo. Why do beautiful flowers wither? Because that’s part of the game…”
The following day, upon Lin Wan’s arrival at the company, she engaged in discussions with Katie about initiating the development of a counter in Ancheng City’s shopping mall.
After two hours of thorough discussion, Lin Wan and Katie organized all the necessary company and brand information. They planned to visit major malls in the afternoon to negotiate counter space.
In the afternoon, Lin Wan and Katie divided their efforts. Lin Wan headed to a shopping mall, where the person in charge declined Yile’s entry after discussions. Undeterred by the first rejection, Lin Wan approached the next shopping mall.
However, after facing three consecutive rejections, Lin Wan felt disheartened.
“Katie, how’s it going on your end?” Lin Wan called Katie.
“None of the malls are willing to collaborate with us,” Katie responded, her disappointment evident.
Despite Elite Jewelry’s influential brand reputation in France and other countries, Ancheng City posed unexpected challenges. Not a single mall was willing to cooperate.
Upon trying to reassure herself and Katie, Lin Wan said, “It’s alright. We’ll try again tomorrow. Every beginning is challenging. Perhaps a mall will agree to work with us tomorrow.”
“Yes, Lin Wan. Let’s persist together,” Katie encouraged, unwilling to give up.
After the call, Lin Wan checked the time and realized it was already past working hours. She proceeded to the parking lot and drove her mother’s car home.
Upon observing from a mall corner, You Luan saw Lin Wan driving away. Once the car vanished from sight, he dialed Xiao Yichen’s number.
“Speak,” Xiao Yichen answered on the other end.
“Mr. Xiao, per your instructions, all the malls have been contacted. Unfortunately, Lin Wan and her colleagues couldn’t agree,” You Luan reported.
“Okay…” Xiao Yichen replied before hanging up.
In his office on the top floor of the East Mansion, Xiao Yichen wore a grim expression.
Collaboration? I have a tight grip on the entire jewelry industry in Ancheng City.
Who would dare negotiate with you, Lin Wan?
His phone rang again at the opportune moment. Upon glancing at the screen, he saw a call from the mansion. He picked up the phone.
“Okay…” Xiao Yichen answered.
“Yichen, it’s me. Have you returned to Blue Bay?” Ning Yan’s voice reached him.
“No, I’m still at the company,” Xiao Yichen replied.
“Then come back for dinner. It’s almost ready. I was chatting with your sister and thought of you, so I wanted to ask you to join us,” Ning Yan invited, her love evident in her tone.
“Okay, got it,” Xiao Yichen said.
Upon returning to the mansion, his parents and second sister were already waiting in the dining room.
“Yichen, come and have a seat,” Xiao Ruiling exclaimed joyfully, signaling her brother to sit beside her.
“Okay,” Xiao Yichen replied, taking his place beside his second sister.
“You must be hungry after a busy day. Hurry up and eat,” Xiao Ruiling said, serving rice to her brother.
Xiao Yichen, preferring not to say much, began eating with his family. Amidst the chatter, Ning Yan brought up the news.
“Yichen, I saw the news today. You and that celebrity named Bai Lu seem to be getting closer recently.. Are you two…”
