Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 496 - Finding Out The Company's Weaknesses

At the same time, Vira's hand grabbed some papers that were scattered on the sofa. She wanted to know what was keeping Lisa so busy that she hadn't changed into her more relaxed clothes. The reaction that adorned Vira's face looked exactly the same as Cicilia's. Her eyebrows rose and she immediately returned some of the papers to their original place.

"The High Creative Ads company is also collaborating with Colors Advertising, Sis." Vira said briefly without looking at Lisa.

Hearing that suddenly made Lisa look away from her laptop screen. "Huh, what do you mean? High Creative Ads Company? I thought my boss said that we wanted to cooperate with a Japanese vehicle company…"

Indeed, Surya had told her that their company would cooperate with a company engaged in the Japanese-owned vehicle sector at that time. But this afternoon, Maria didn't say anything else, which made her think that the company she was working with was still the same as before.

Lisa was too busy trying to figure out what to do to win the favor of the president of a company that she didn't even pay attention to the name of the company they were going to work with.

Vira cleared her throat, "It's been a long time since Mr. Rangga wanted to terminate the contract with the High Creative Ads company. He said the company had no intention of working together and was fickle, changing regulations frequently. His working partners are often angry, I don't know, I mean maybe because it's a small company."

Lisa frowned, "Huh, what do you mean?"

"So, the High Creative Ads company is not as good as what other companies think. I have heard that many companies want to work with them, but Mr. Rangga's partners used to be jealous of wanting to work with them. But as it turns out, after running for a few months, the High Creative Ads company really sucks in collaborative works!"

"I can't explain how bad the High Creative Ads company is because it's not my place to slander them. But I can only suggest that you be careful. Hopefully everything will go according to the wishes of your company," Vira said.

Lisa was getting more and more curious. Now she left her Google Docs and immediately turned off her laptop. She corrected her sitting position, and sat facing Vira.

"Then, how about the termination of the contract between Colors Advertising and High Creative Ads?" Lisa asked curiously.

"Until now the High Creative Ads company has not given a response. Their answers are always ambiguous so it's still unclear. But Mr. Rangga has been very reluctant to cooperate with them, I feel bad because he always asks if there is a positive response from the High Creative Ads."

Hearing Vira's explanation made Lisa think that Maria actually knew all this. Surely that demonic woman told her to work on this project so that she would end up miserable and in the worst case, she would be expelled from the Better Life company if anything went wrong with the task. 

But the issue about the ramshackle High Creative Ads company or something is not Lisa's problem. She worked on the project on the orders of Maria, her superior. She just needs to run the project and fulfill her boss's wishes. As long as she can win over the president of High Creative Ads, they should be willing to work with the Better Life company. 

But how could she get High Creative Ads companies to want to work with them?

The knock on the door interrupted her train thoughts, along with Vira's cheerful voice.

"Wow, the food must have come!" Vira exclaimed enthusiastically.

After their stomachs were full, Lisa went for a warm bath. The woman was still thinking about Vira's long explanation earlier. Vira works at Colors Advertising and the company works with the High Creative Ads. It is certain that her friend knows the ins and outs of the High Creative Ads company.

Perhaps, the most appropriate way to find out how to win the 'heart' of a High Creative Ads company is to directly ask Vira.

"Vira, can I ask you a favor?"

In the living room of Vira's apartment, the two of them were already wearing casual home clothes. The aroma of fast food still surrounds the room, mixed with air fresheners that emit a fruity aroma. The many scents that filled the small room made them decide to open the windows, letting the night breeze in.

From the corner of her eyes, Vira could see Lisa's serious face. Without saying much, the woman turned off her cell phone's screen and immediately straightened her seat. She sat facing Lisa and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Lisa bit her lower lip, and her eyeballs were busy circling the center of the room for a while. She didn't know where to start. 

"Ah, so…"

"So?" Vira urged impatiently.

Lisa took a deep breath, "Vira, you work at Colors Advertising. Then you said yourself that Colors Advertising works with High Creative Ads… You and your office mates definitely know the ins and outs of that company, right? Now, I want to ask you for help to check the situation with the High Creative Ads company."

"I?" Vira asked in disbelief. The woman pointed at herself while raising her eyebrows. "You asked me for help to check their situation?"

"Yes. I mean let me know the company's strengths and weaknesses! You yourself know that the company I work for wants to try to work with them, right?"

"I know. It's just that I'm surprised. Why didn't you just ask Mr. Rangga right away? As far as I know, you and Mr. Rangga have a special relationship, right?" Vira teased while raising and lowering her eyebrows several times, "It's better if you ask directly to Mr. Rangga. He's the president director of the Colors Advertising company, so he should have known that company in more detail."

"Don't ask me, Sis. I'm just an ordinary employee. How come I know the ins and outs of the High Creative Ads company?"

Hearing Rangga's name being mentioned made Lisa momentarily stunned. In that instant, her face immediately turned grim. Surely, Vira doesn't know what's really going on with her relationship with Rangga now.

Come to think of it, she and Rangga have been separated for a long time. Lisa has also not heard from the man or his future wife, Bella. How about their child? Did Bella give birth safely? Are they currently still on vacation around the world?

Seeing Lisa didn't move or make any sound made Vira frown. Did she just say something wrong?

"Sis, why are you suddenly quiet?" Vira asked, looking scared.
