A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 437: Mr. Smith Sends Talents to His Rival

After sending Chandler to Louis, Lily devotes herself to her work.

She asks her assistant to vacate an office for the team sent by the Smith Group and chooses two

excellent planners from HS Company, so they can work on the promotion of the new perfume together.

Since they have a valuation agreement with the other company this time, Lily herself has to take care

of the whole process.

After the members from the Smith Group smell the new perfume, they intend to invite the most popular

female star to shoot a promotional video. They want to use her popularity and fan base to drive the

sales of the new perfume.

However, the two planners of HS Company don’t agree with them. They think the plan of them is no

different from the others in the market and the members from the Smith Group aren’t that capable.

How could the people from the Smith Group stand that kind of slur? So they immediately refute that

they wouldn’t have been here if the planners of HS Company could complete the task on their own.

People from the two sides quarrel in almost each meeting, which annoys Lily so much.

At this critical time, Lily can do nothing but play the role as a moderator, “The plans of the both sides

are good, but what we can invest on the spokesperson and the promotional video is limited. It’ll cost us

at least ten million to invite a popular female star to shoot a one-minute video and we can’t use only

one theme to promote our perfume.”

"How about multiple themes?" The people from the Smith Group ask, "But the video will be longer."

The planners from HS Company second, "A promotional video of a luxury perfume always lasts three

or six minutes, and the stars invited are always top-tier. But their fans would like to see it, even if the

video is long. We can’t afford to invite top-tier stars. So people wouldn’t like to see our video if it’s long.”

A person from the Smith Group says with a nod, "Ms. Lily, you said that the cost of shooting was

limited. But the cost will definitely double if there're multiple themes. I think we shall use only one

theme."

"That'll be way too boring, and a starlet with few fans can't drive the sales." The planner of HS

Company says.

"Tell us your plan if you're that capable."

"No, nope. I can't compare with you guys, since you're from the Smith Group. And it's your decision to

make."

"..."

Lily rubs between her eyebrows when seeing her subordinates quarrelling again.

She scans the pile of photos of the hottest female stars on the table.

She sees the photo of a girl in a pink-blue dress with a sweet smile. She looks shy with a fan in her

hand, as if she were looking at the young man she admires.

Suddenly, Lily comes up with an idea.

She says to her assistant right the second, "Spray the new perfume on two perfume test papers, and

wait for one minute and a half minute, respectively. Go do it now."

"Yes." The assistant runs out quickly.

Those who come from the Smith Group and HS Company are looking at Lily, but they have no idea

what she's gonna do.

"Ms. Lily, what are you gonna do?"

Lily asks them to wait quietly with a gesture, "I'll tell you in a minute."

A minute later, the assistant pushes the door and comes in, holding three perfume test papers and a

sample of the new perfume.

The assistant sprays the perfume on the outermost perfume test paper and hands the three test papers

to Lily. "From left to right, there're the three test papers where I sprayed the perfume one minute ago, a

half minute ago and just now."

Lily sniff the three perfume test papers on by one. She ponders for several seconds with her eyes

closed after each sniff. At the same time, all the people around the conference table are looking at her.

After sniffing three papers with the same perfume, Lily opens her eyes and says to everyone, "We'll use

three themes, and they'll span from ancient times, the Republic of China era to modern times."

Everyone is shocked, "Three themes? It'll be too much over our budget, won't it?"

"Ms. Lily, you haven't told us the details of your plan, so we don't know what to do." Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Will three minutes be enough for three themes?"

"We'll use three themes. That's all." Lily has made up her mind and she's confident in her idea. "As for

the plot, I'll discuss it with the copywriters of the Smith Group. You'll get to know next time we have a

meeting.

As she is saying, she stands up, "That's all for today. Thank you, everyone."

Lily leaves with her assistant. As they are walking away, Lily hands a photo to her assistant and says,

"Contact the agent of the starlet and ask whether she'll be willing to star the three-minute video for

three million."

Casting a look at the photo, the assistant frowns, "Ms. Lily, the starlet has just won the Best New Artist,

and she's getting popular. So she definitely won't star in a three-minute video for merely three million."

Lily says with a faint smile, "If she refuses, pick a three or four-tier actress, or from campus. Trust me,

whoever stars the video will be popular."

The assistant is slightly surprised,

'Is Ms. Lily so confident in her idea?'

Since Lily makes up her mind so decisively, those who come from the Smith Group aren't pleased.

They think Lily wouldn't be a better copywriter than them, although she's a good investor and

businesswoman.

One of them posts a complaint in the circle, saying 'being sent to another company is way too

miserable. The leader knew nothing but asked us to do as she said.'

The complaint attracts a lot of attention. People are guessing which company it implies, since the

member of the Smith Group sent to HS Company revealed it on purpose.

When everyone finds it implies HS Company and they know Lily has just become the vice president of

HS Company, everyone in the circle becomes more curious.

David is always keen on the news in the circle and he also sees the complaint. And he happens to hear

an agent mock the assistant of HS Company when he takes the file in Best Taste Entertainment. He

gets to know HS Company intended to ask the starlet of that agent to star in a video for only three

million, and he is also curious about what they're gonna do.

David doesn't know whether they're still in touch with each other after they broke up, but what Mr.

Smith asked him to do seems he still cares about Ms. Lily.

Sofia has told him not to step in the things between Mr. Smith and Ms. Lily, otherwise he will cause

himself a trouble. But he wouldn't like to be blamed by Mr. Smith, if he knows something later.

So when David goes back to the Smith Group and delivers the file to Mr. Smith, he implies, "Mr. Smith,

something happened in HS Company. Do you wanna know it?"

Louis says in a cold voice without looking up, "If you have too much free time, you can work in your

office tonight."

"No, no. I don't have that much free time. I still have a chunk of work to do." David says, "I just feel

hilarious to hear HS Company intended to sign a starlet of our entertainment company for only three

million."

"HS Company has signed a valuation adjustment agreement with Merci Company. Their budget is

limited, and HS Company won't pay for them. So they'll try to save each dime."

"Merci Company..." David feels the name familiar. Remembering something in a sudden, he says after

a few seconds, "Is the company one of our group? Has HS Company signed an agreement with us?"

"Yep."

Hearing his boss answer with a yes in an indifferent tone, David feels astonished.

Merci Company signs a valuation adjustment agreement with HS Company while the Smith Group still

sends some talents of the planning department to HS Company.

How could it happen?

The executives will feel shocked if they find out the truth.

They're killing themselves earning money from the other company while their boss sends talents to

them.

When David is wondering why Mr. Smith did these things, he hears Louis say, "Contact the agent of

that starlet and ask her to sign that three-million agreement with HS Company."

It stuns David.

Before David can reply, Louis continues, "Check how much the market price is and compensate that

starlet. Give her some roles of the movies with large investment and let her be the spokesperson of

some international luxury brands."

What?

What Louis said has just shocked David a lot, and he looks confused.
