Chapter 92: Spokesperson for Perfume
Even though she was reborn and knew this place would earn her a lot of money.
But she couldn’t just tell them straightly like that, could she?
After all, doing business and investing was a very serious matter.
It was about getting the numbers to speak for themselves.
If she really said that out loud, these shareholders would not only not believe her, but would even think that she was out of her mind!
They would say that she was making fun of them and would send her to a mental hospital.
The meeting was over.
Regarding the proposal, the general meeting of shareholders still did not make a decision.
The people inside the meeting room dispersed, leaving only Zachary, Yvonne, and Mr. King.
Mr. King was a little embarrassed.
Although this plan was written with all his life’s work, he wasn’t entirely sure about it.
After all, this area was really just a poor wasteland now.
It did sound like a pipe dream to get the company to invest in the highest-end projects there in the last few years.
When he handed in this proposal, he was also apprehensive.
In the end, sure enough, none of them supported him.
Now that Yvonne was standing up for him like this, he was somewhat flattered. "Mrs. Leinster... Actually, I’m not entirely sure about this planning project."
Looking at her making enemies with many shareholders like this, Mr. King felt a bit guilty, and was even more afraid that Zachary would blame him.
Instead, Yvonne shook her head and said, "It’s okay, I have my own considerations."
Then, she said to Zachary, "Can I talk to you alone about something?"
Zachary said, "Yes."
Then he threw a look towards Mr. King.
Mr. King understood, took the folder and stepped back, "I’ll go ahead and get to work then."
Yvonne and Zachary came to his office.
Zachary’s president’s office was very private.
Whatever they both say or do here, no one else would know.
"Say it."
Zachary sat on his black high-grade leather chair, looking confident, calm and cool.
Yvonne thought about it and finally decided to tell Zachary about it, after all, they were now married and there were no secrets between husband and wife.
"The reason I’m so sure today that Mr. King’s proposal is better is that I actually know the future of this place..."
"You don’t have to explain, I believe you."
Zachary interrupted her.
He knew what Yvonne would say next, but he didn’t want to know what she would say.
Regarding investments, he didn’t want to lose his judgment.
Perhaps the reborn Yvonne could foresee the future and know more information, but those messages shouldn’t be his bargaining chip for business!
"But..."
"It’s okay, I believe you."
Zachary said, "But I prefer the feeling of succeeding in winning by myself."
The strong are the strong and enjoy the fruits of their conquests more.
Yvonne didn’t go on.
She was also worried that Zachary would mind this, so she was a bit hesitant at first.
Now, since he really didn’t want to know, she left it at that.
"Well then, since you trust me, you’ll set this project here. I promise, it will only make a profit, and, the profit will be terribly large."
However, Zachary said, "But this proposal of Mr. King’s does still have many shortcomings, the site selection itself is too bold, and it will be difficult for the board to pass it."
"Then what should we do?
"There’s no better time than now."
Yvonne was a little anxious at once.
"There’s a way..." Zachary said.
The Leinster Mansion.
Zachary’s solution was to get Jack to step in.
Although the current chairman of the Leinster Group was Zachary, Jack was Zachary’s father after all.
For the past 25 years, Jack had been the chairman of the Leinster Group.
His word was like a rallying cry in the whole of the Leinster Group that should not be underestimated.
Whenever there was any difference of opinion in the general meeting of the shareholders, as long as Jack was asked to say a word, those old shareholders who followed him would not have any objection.
His study.
This time, Yvonne came here specifically for Mr. King’s planning case.
With majestic air and in glasses, Jack sat in his study of more than a hundred square meters.
"I’ve seen the planning book and it is a good idea.
"However, the surrounding zoning resources are really poor.
"With no major companies investing around, and no specific government plans for the next few years, it’s risky for us to rush in with so much money."
Yvonne said, "Yes, there is currently no corresponding investment in the surrounding area by the government or other companies, but although that land in the east of the city looks more advantageous, the market is almost saturated and competition will be fierce.
"Things shouldn’t be as rosy as the board thinks.
"Dad, in just six months, this land will be the new center of the entire city.
And we’ll be the first ones in the whole Hiltonan and indeed the whole country to move in here!"
Who would have thought that this piece of land would soon get investment from a top foreign company and rise to prominence within six months?
The original households here had made millions by demolition, and those who invested 150 thousand dollars to come in have earned so much that many people across the country were jealous of them.
If the Leinster Group put 800 million dollars in it...
It was unimaginable how many times the market value would have doubled!
Of course, Yvonne couldn’t possibly tell Jack about her reborn secret.
However, she didn’t know how to put it in particular professional business terms.
"Yvonne, business is still a very serious matter, and it’s important to speak with data and facts, both to convince the people on the board, and to convince me."
Even if Yvonne did not say a particularly clear reason, it was good that Jack had always been more appreciative of Yvonne.
Like father, like daughter.
Frank’s investment in the past few years was indeed superior to that of the Leinster Family, often surprisingly winning, and a model for the entire industry to learn from.
Maybe the reason why Yvonne was looking at this land was that Frank was also eyeing this place.
"I’ll give you a month, since you strongly requested it.
"In a month’s time, I’d like to see a relatively well-developed and convincing plan.
"When the time comes, if you write the plan well enough, I’ll use my power to get the board to pass Mr. King’s proposal straight away!"
As soon as Jack let go, Yvonne’s eyes instantly lit up!
"Okay, okay, thanks, dad!"
She immediately felt cheerful!
She thought it would be difficult to persuade Jack.
She didn’t expect that even though he was already in his 50s, he was much more advanced in his thinking than those old shareholders of the Leinster Group.
When she exited the study, she immediately took the material with interest.
"Your father agreed!
"But he asked me to write a plan."
"He asked you to write it?"
"Yes.
"What’s wrong with that?"
Zachary found it rare, "Nothing, only that... he seems to value you quite highly."
"Haha, no more talking to you, I’m off to write my plans."
"What?"
Zachary’s face turned evil for a moment, "Have you forgotten, tonight, what we had agreed to do?"
...
"What?"
Yvonne was confused.
"You forgot..."
Zachary smiled meaningfully, which made Yvonne easily take it wrong. "Tonight, we have a date to do something."
Yvonne had said that she would tell him a secret between them on their wedding night.
Last time Zachary asked her if she loved her in her previous life.
She said that although she blindly had made some mistakes in her previous life, there were still many sweet memories between her and Zachary.
But their wedding night was too intense for the two of them to talk about this.
So it was set to say it today.
"Gee, your dad only gave me a month, I’m going to be busy getting it... Umm..." It was particularly irritating to see her keep talking back to him. So regardless, he kissed her straight up.
Yvonne’s heartbeat was speeding up.
It was right in front of his dad’s study!
So many people came and went watching, and Yvonne struggled with her hands.
Zachary, however, held her tighter to keep her from leaving.
"You... Umm..."
"Zachary, your father wanted me to ask you..."
Right at that moment.
Yeliz had just come upstairs when she saw the scene in front of her.
She froze outright.
Being frozen in place, forgetting movement and words.
When Yvonne heard the sound, with a flash on her face, she hurriedly pushed Zachary away.
Zachary didn’t seem to be willing to end it, ignoring her pushing and shoving.
He pulled her into his arms for another long kiss.
Yeliz stood on the stairs, in a lower position than them, and suddenly her face was extremely ugly, and her eyes filled with tears.
She turned her head and walked away.
The tears fell from her eyes right after it and she said nothing, nor did she intend to continue.
Yvonne had just been kissed like that by Zachary as she was pressed against the study door.
Zachary was so tall that he wrapped Yvonne’s entire body in it.
So, standing at the angle where Yeliz had just walked up the stairs, she didn’t even see Yvonne, and she was even less aware that they were making out.
It was so painful for her.
Inside the study, Jack watched the scene with appreciation.
That was what wanted.
Let Yeliz know the reality clearly.
A character of his rank would not have any particularly big emotional ripples because of women long ago, and he was with Yeliz because she was young and pretty, easy to control and could take care of him, but Jack was also a man, and a man as high as an emperor, and he hated the feeling that his belongings were desiring for something else.
Zachary went to the office as usual.
Although Jack was retired, he had a lot of daily activities.
He had to meet with all sorts of bigwigs, but Yeliz spent her days at home with nothing to do.
Yvonne usually also went to school more often.
There had been some whispers in the school before when people heard that Zachary had gotten married and didn’t know that his wife was Yvonne.
But fewer people were still talking about these boring things now, and everyone still took classes and studied like before.
Yvonne went to the Arts Department to practice her voice this day, and as soon as she entered, she heard some girls buzzing about it.
"This time, it’s people from their headquarters select someone inside all the colleges and universities in the country, and they prefer ordinary people, not models or stars, they just want female college students."
"They are looking for a spokesperson, she must be very beautiful and why don’t they go to film school, our school is full of good girls who study well.
"How did they come to our school looking for that?"
"Maybe they don’t want to miss someone..."
Yvonne entered and asked curiously, "What selection?
"It sounds interesting."
"You don’t know?"
The crowd was shocked, "It’s all over the school!
"A high-end luxury brand is coming to our school to select a spokesperson for the whole Angria, and it’s said that the salary is extremely high, and you can become a star as well."
"OK..."
Yvonne did have dreams of being a star in her previous life, but after her reborn, she didn’t seem particularly obsessed with this.
Even when she heard it she didn’t take it to heart.
There was a PE session in the afternoon, but the ground was a bit wet from the rain yesterday and everyone was indoors in the gym for PE.
Indoor gym class didn’t involve running, and everyone was basically in there talking to kill the time.
It was a little late when Yvonne arrived, and when she entered the gym, she also saw a group of girls chattering.
"I heard that the Belline’s are coming today and will be going to class to pick people one by one, so I wonder if they’ll miss us if we have gym class here."
One of the better-looking girls said.
"Oh, I should have known it early, so I won’t come to the gym class.
"I don’t want to miss the chance to see them."
Yvonne changed into her sneakers and pretended she didn’t hear the girls talking.
All the people in gym class together were from other classes, or even other majors.
None of them knew Yvonne, nor did they know that she was the famous Miss Taylor.
There was a girl in the class who thought she was good-looking and was said to be the captain of the school dance team.
Amy was surrounded in the middle of a group of girls, wearing a pink tracksuit, with a curvy shape from her dance practice, and showing off her long white legs, causing the boys in the gym to stare.
The new semester hadn’t started long ago, and they only had had a few gym classes, but Amy had already noticed Yvonne’s presence!
Because Yvonne was even better looking than she is, and had a great body!
A few young followers saw Amy looking at Yvonne with hatred in her eyes and said to her, "This girl is like this every time, she comes late to class and doesn’t talk to anyone else."
"Right, isn’t she just good-looking, we don’t even bother to notice her."
"She’s good-looking?"
Amy’s face immediately darkened when she heard the words.
"No, no, no, she’s not good-looking at all!
"That face... must have had plastic surgery!
"Not as good-looking as you!"
"Right!"
Amy’s face eased a little at that.
She walked towards her proudly and then talked to Yvonne who was tying her shoes on the floor.
"Some people are wearing jeans in gym class, I don’t think they’re even here for class, are they?"
Yvonne had never been too fond of things like this at school.
The person she had to deal with was at least Yeliz’s level.
This was the kind of passerby she really didn’t want to speak to.
"Hey, Amy is talking to you, didn’t you hear?"
A little girl flared and shouted.
Yvonne tied her shoelaces and stood up from the floor.
She was wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts today, and no makeup, so it wasn’t the so-called "dressing up for gym class".
She also knew that these people were deliberately making things difficult for her as well.
However, even without the fancy clothes and jewels, her aura was still powerful enough to make the little girl who was screaming at her subconsciously back away.
Yvonne stood up, then curled her lips, tilted her head sideways, and smiled a little.
"Do I have to pay attention to her if she talks to me?"
"You!"
Amy, despite not being a rich kid, was a popular figure in school.
With all the flatterers and followers around, when had anyone ever been so provocative to her?
In a flash of anger, she rushed up, looking for Yvonne to cause trouble!
