South River Station was one of the highest-rated television stations in the country and it had an insane viewership count. To promote Mountain Dew Estate, Sky Ocean Corporation worked with the television station to broadcast their advertisement video during prime time. Fifteen seconds of video cost around a million, per broadcast. Now that the news of Kaze hitting Lil Dee had gone out, South River Station pulled the advertisement. “Ms. Quint, the person in charge also said that the contract clearly states that if we are at fault for causing the advertisement to be pulled, the TV station won’t be liable for anything…” Ash’s expression turned bitter. Sky Ocean Corporation and South River Station signed a contract to broadcast the advertisement for one hundred prime time slots. Now that the contract was breached, a hundred million in advertisement fees went down the drain. Before everyone could recover from the shock, Ash’s phone continued to ring. “Every other social me
“I have seen your picture and goddamn you are pretty. Hehe…” Lil Dee’s perverted chuckles sounded creepy on the loudspeaker. “Desmond Litman, stop dreaming! It’s not happening!” Darcy shouted. She really wanted to hang up the phone. Lil Dee scoffed. “If you don’t want to, then there’s nothing left for us to talk about. I’d like to see without me, who can bring Mountain Dew Estate back to life? I hope you won’t come begging me later.” Darcy clenched her teeth tightly. She no longer had hopes to revive Mountain Dew Estate. Kaze then went over to Darcy’s desk and said to the phone, “Desmond Litman, don’t think too much of yourself. I can simply find someone else to replace you and revive Mountain Dew Estate. I hope you won’t come begging me later as well.” Kaze was furious that Lil Dee insulted Darcy over the phone. The office was quiet. No one expected Kaze to continue arguing with Lil Dee after what had happened. “Kaze Lee?” Lil Dee clenched his teeth and said angril
“When Professor Whiteman and his team came back from the foreign battlefield, they were welcomed like heroes. Many big companies tried to invite him to endorse their products or services but he rejected all the offers.” Ash hoped that Professor Whiteman could be their ambassador but she knew it was impossible. Professor Whiteman was a scholar and a doctor, nothing else. He did not need the extra money from endorsements and he disliked being distracted by not his profession. Darcy shook her head as well. “Kaze, stop dreaming. Professor Whiteman might be a friend of the family but this is the company’s matter. Now that the company is in a tough situation, I am too embarrassed to ask Professor Whiteman.” Ash and the others did not know that Darcy’s family was friends with the professor. They revered and respected her even more knowing her background. However, as Darcy said, this was a company matter, not a private affair. Professor Whiteman would never say yes. “Don’t worry.
Professor Whiteman said, “I’m friends with the chairwoman’s husband. He came to me, asking for help, so I figured why not? I have to talk to you later. A patient is waiting for my consultation.” Vayne was rather jealous. He tried to ask the professor to promote his company before but was scolded instead. Yet Kaze was able to convince the professor to endorse his project? Who exactly was Kaze Lee? Vayne told his assistant to find out more about Kaze. “Kaze Lee, the son-in-law of the Quints is a well-known garbage in Lilyrose. His wife is the chairwoman of two companies operating in Lilyrose. “The professor is a prestigious doctor and scholar. He didn’t even care about the invites from famed politicians yet he agreed to help a useless garbage?” Vayne was annoyed and could not figure out why the professor would agree. “Sir, I found out that the professor treated Kaze Lee’s father-in-law’s legs before. Sky Ocean Corporation is facing a major PR disaster because Kaze Lee h
“Is it legit news?” Samson asked his assistant eagerly. It was no secret that Professor Whiteman never accepted endorsements. Samson might be thrilled but he remained skeptical. “It’s legit. Vayne Tucker leaked the news himself,” the assistant said. Samson nodded in excitement. “Vayne always boasts himself as the professor’s student. When he started his company and wanted marketing solutions, he came to me for help. If it was he who leaked the news, then it must be real.” He knew Vayne well enough to understand the man’s character. Vayne boasted himself as the professor’s student and used the professor’s fame and reputation to quickly cement himself in Sunrise City’s business world in just a few short years. “Sir, our hospitals needed an ambassador. If we can get the professor to endorse us, the hospitals will flourish, not just come back from the dead,” the assistant said. Samson was intrigued. “Yeah. The professor is a master in orthopedics. Why don’t we change all ou
“Why is Vayne meeting with him?” Darcy wondered. Samson was with the Sunrise Lees, who teamed up with the Vinlands to annex Darcy’s companies. When Darcy saw Selene inviting Samson and his men upstairs with a polite smile, she had a bad feeling. “Ms. Quint, I heard that Samson Hobbs is trying to revive the dying hospitals that they acquired in Lilyrose. Are they here to ask the professor to endorse them as well?” Ash said with a heavy look. As an experienced manager in the business world, she knew Samson would only make a move when there was something important involved, or else he would not even be here. Darcy furrowed her brows. “Unlikely. The hospitals that Lee Solutions acquired had a bad reputation for insurance fraud and false advertising.” She knew the professor would never agree to endorse the hospitals. Ash did not care if the professor would endorse the hospitals or not. She was worried about Sky Ocean Corporation’s deal with the professor. With Samson involve
“What might this be?” Vayne looked at the documents. Samson smiled and said, “Vayne, if we get this done, other than the professor’s endorsement fee, we will also invest fifty million into your company. Sign it and the money will be transferred into your account.” Vanye was moved but he was not satisfied just yet. The investment might be good but it was still a business deal. Besides, Samson would also acquire a part of his company shares with the investment. He believed the professor’s reputation could bring him much more than just fifty million. “Samson, you are being too kind. Investment or not, you helped me before…” Samson's eyes glared coldly at Vayne's pretentious character. He forced a smile and said, “Vayne, you might not know but the Lees are also hoping for this deal to go through. “You know that Narian’s legs were broken right? His father had been asking the professor to look at his injuries but due to a certain misunderstanding, the professor did not an
Ash’s heart skipped a beat. As Vayne’s assistant, Selene was the closest person to him. Her answer must reflect Vayne’s opinion on the matter. Could it be that Vayne did not want the professor to work with Sky Ocean Corporation? Even Darcy had a bad feeling about this. “Ms. Blanks, mind your attitude. My husband did not curry favor with anyone. He is friends with Professor Whiteman.” Darcy went up to Selene and said coldly, “And please explain why Sky Ocean Corporation isn’t worthy of inviting the professor as its ambassador?” “Who do you think you are? Why must I explain myself to you? You think you are the chairwoman of the world? No, you are just the chairwoman of a company in this lousy city!” Selene argued with Darcy, showing off envy in her eyes. “Darcy Quint, is it? Let me tell you something; don’t even hope to get the professor’s endorsement. Lee Solutions have already signed an exclusive right for the professor to endorse their hospitals!” Selene laughed as s
