Chapter 08

Author: Lord Leaf
The next morning, Claire brought the file filled with proposals that she had prepared overnight and went to the Emgrand Group office with Charlie.

Standing in front of the 100-story building, Claire suddenly felt as if her heart was hollow and empty.

How could such a magnificent company like Emgrand collaborate with the Wilson family? Not to mention that they were aiming for a thirty million dollars deal.

It was like a beggar approaching a wealthy man and asking for a thirty million dollar change. It was absolutely ridiculous.

However, she had promised her grandmother and accepted the challenge in front of everyone, so she had to go for it no matter what…

Sensing her anxiety, Charlie stroked her head tenderly and said, “Dear, don’t worry, go ahead, you’ll make it. Trust me.”

Claire sighed dejectedly and murmured, “Alright, let’s hope so! Wait for me here.”

She took a deep breath and walked through the door.

As he watched her walking in, Charlie took out his phone and called Doris.

“Doris, my wife is going up to see you as we speak. You should know what to do!”

“Yes, Mr. Wade. Don’t worry, I’ll fulfill your missus’s every request.”

“By the way, I heard that Emgrand Group has a rather close connection with the Jones family. Is that true?”

“Yes, we did have a lot of projects with them, completed and ongoing. They wish to collaborate with us again on this new megaproject and they’ve submitted the proposals and materials for my review. However, it is up to you to decide, Mr. Wade.”

Charlie said coldly, “I don’t want the Jones family to be involved in the new project and any other projects in the future.”

“Yes, sure. Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say!”

Meanwhile, Claire walked into Emgrand Group’s office building and waited for her appointment at the front desk. She didn’t even know if Doris Young, the company’s vice-chairman, would like to see her.

Not long after, a graceful female assistant approached her and began, “Hi, are you Miss Claire Wilson? Miss Young is waiting for you in her office, please follow me.”

Claire nodded in a trance. She was still waiting in line to make an appointment, how did Miss Young know she was here and call her in already?

Could it be that Doris Young knew she was coming?

It didn’t make sense though…how could a prominent individual like Doris Young know about her?

Although she couldn’t figure it out, she might as well grab the rare opportunity as she was given. She quickly followed the assistant and she was escorted directly to Doris’s office.

Doris stood up from her chair and greeted Claire respectfully. “Hi, Miss Wilson, I’m Doris Young, vice chairman of Emgrand Group, nice meeting you.”

Claire was a little nervous as she met the most famous businesswoman in Aurous Hill. She spoke, her voice trembling anxiously but staying calm, “Hello, Miss Young, thank you for seeing me. I’m here to talk to you about the hotel project. Although Wilson Group is not as strong and prominent as other companies, I can assure you that we work very hard and have established a very positive reputation in the interior design and decoration industry!”

She handed over a document file and continued, “Miss Young, this is Wilson Group’s portfolio, please have a look.”

Doris smiled gently and took the document from her. After a brief glance, she said immediately, “Miss Wilson, I’ve seen your documents, I think you are the perfect partner for us.”

“Really? Is it true?” Claire gaped in bewilderment. Why did it go so quickly and smoothly? It was a little too easy, wasn’t it?

Doris said with a smile, “Of course. I admit that Wilson Group does not match our requirements and qualifications, but our chairman thinks highly of you and he is willing to give it a shot.”

“Your chairman?” Claire said in a shocking tone, then asked, “May I know who your chairman is? ”

Doris smiled faintly. “Our chairman is Mr. Wade from Eastcliff.”

“Mr. Wade?”

Claire frowned in confusion. “I don’t think I know anyone by the last name of Wade except for my husband.”

Doris nodded gently. Charlie had ordered her not to disclose his identity, so she could only say that much.

Other than Charlie Wade, Claire didn’t know anyone by the last name of Wade, but she would never have guessed that her useless husband, who was an orphan, would be the Mr. Wade that Doris was referring to.

Then, Doris added, “Miss Wilson, I see in your proposal that your quotation for the agreement is thirty million dollars?”

Claire nodded anxiously and asked timidly, “Is it too much?”

Doris smiled and answered, “Oh no, it is actually less than what we have budgeted for.”

Claire furrowed curiously. “What do you mean?”

“Our chairman told me to increase the quotation to sixty million dollars.”

In the middle of the conversation, Doris retrieved a contract and handed it to Claire. “Look, we’ve drafted the contract in advance for a total of sixty million dollars. If you have no problem with it, we can sign the contract now.”

“Huh? This…”

Claire gaped, dumbfounded.

She had never expected that Emgrand Group, which seemed so unreachable from Wilson Group’s perspective, would prepare the contract beforehand!

Moreover, the amount had doubled!

Grandma’s goal for the project was 30 million dollars, but the contract literally stated 60 million dollars in black and white!

Suddenly, she recalled her husband’s serious and earnest face when he had asked her to accept the task at the family meeting the previous night.

Why was he so confident?

When they were at Emgrand Group’s entrance, she was very doubtful and pessimistic, but he seemed so positive and undaunted.

Could it be that he had known the outcome all along?

Who was he...

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7093

    Curtis Autos' press conference gained widespread approval from fans and everyone else.As the transparent lottery system also indicated the integrity of Curtis Autos as an organization, they steadily gained public approval, with brand awareness skyrocketing.Soon, everyone started preparing for the concerts.Naturally, the first agenda was the venue, with the largest stadium in Aurous Hill being chosen for the four concerts to be held in the city. Having been expanded just last year, it could now accommodate forty thousand people.Then, once the venue was confirmed and Tanya's Tokyo tour was finished, her team started packing before arriving at the stadium to unpack once more and assemble their setup.Tanya would have flown to Aurous Hill right away as well, but as Trevor's sponsors had a collaboration in Japan, she only arrived a day later.Still, a day before she arrived, Curtis Autos' ticketing software had opened registration for her first concert.With Aurous Hill public no

    The reason for the price difference was that those ticketers tended to be the scalpers themselves, and if they were allowed to resell, they would do their best to inflate the average ticket price as much as possible.Netizens had already started speculating about the ticket prices, too, having been victim to one too many scalpers before.But while most of them presumed that the tickets would set a new bar in terms of prices, Curtis Autos called for a press conference.And there, journalists posed that exact question to Yolden, to which he answered, "The collab with Ms. Sweet for these twenty concerts is to allow her Oskian fans the opportunity to see her performing live. To avoid scalping, we are applying an entirely new system for selling our tickets."While curious, the journalists were also skeptical.After all, many other concert organizers vowed to end scalping, too, but never really did. If anything, they just did their best to destroy scalpers they weren't friends with and

    Not even in their wildest dreams would the Oskian Tanya fans expect twenty concerts from their idol!As the hype online peaked, the forums and fan groups were abuzz with the bombshell.The major cities of Oskia were thrilled to hear the number of concerts, too, with many mayoral offices reaching out to Curtis Autos to ask where the venues would be.After all, they were all keen to have Tanya perform at least once in their city, which would see an immense growth in the local economy, prominence, and tourism.In reality, even Charlie himself had yet to pick the venue, and he called Tanya about it when he had the time."Actually, I have been performing multiple concerts in the same city for a few years now," she replied. "That arrangement is because concerts last hours, and therefore, it takes a toll on equipment and other hardware. On top of that, building up the sets takes at least a couple of days, and doing it in twenty cities means increased costs—just disassembling and then rea

    All at once, Tanya topped all trending keywords and searches in Oskian social media, and her name was included in at least eight out of ten searches.Even though Charlie had told her to let the speculation fester for a day, and then she would personally announce the decision of twenty concerts on her social media, it was clear she was better than him when it came to publicity.She had told Charlie that, like a countdown, it would take further steps to increase exposure. To gradually build up the hype, she needed to constantly surprise them, like a multi-stage rocket launch that pushed the rocket further with each stage.So, her first social media post was simply a greeting to all of Oskia without offering any details.But that was enough to send the fans into a frenzy anyway, and they were now almost certain that Tanya was definitely coming to perform in Oskia!In fact, that single social media post prompted news outlets across the country to immediately publish articles on Tanya'

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7089

    Overnight, rumors of Tanya holding a concert in Oskia spread like wildfire to the rest of the country.Even though there was no confirmation whatsoever, the rumors somehow felt believable, and fans across the country were all talking about the possibility that it could be true.By the next morning, the rumor made trending searches anyway, and topping the leaderboard was: 'Rumored Tanya Sweet Concert in Oskia.'There were others that made the leaderboard too, including 'Curtis Autos Organizing Tanya Sweet Concert' in third, 'Curtis Autos Statement When' at fourth, and 'Will You Be There When Tanya Sings' at tenth.Then, after further discussion in the morning, 'Curtis Autos Statement When' gradually rose to the top.As more time passed, most speculated that Curtis Autos would have made an official statement to deny the rumors. Even though smaller companies occasionally used fake news as publicity stunts or simply to spread brand awareness, Curtis Autos had the backing of the Wades

    Pausing, Charlie then continued, "Remember—never let slip that we're actually doing twenty concerts. Just say we're doing one, and word will spread like wildfire, although no one can confirm if something so outrageous is real. As long as Curtis Autos does not make the official announcement, such leaks will keep spreading until everyone is hyped up."Once the hype fires up, the media will definitely try everything they can to verify the news, and our hashtags will stay in the top ten along with at least five trending discussions. At that point, we don't need to make any promotional efforts and just ask Tanya to announce the concerts officially. The media and the fans will blow up immediately.""Okay!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "In that case, let's get started tonight and have our employees spread the news through personal social circles!"-The news began spreading amongst Aurous Hill citizens at 9 pm.It began with Curtis Autos employees, all thrilled to tell their friends
