Xu Mingzhi would only tell her daughter the good news and not the bad news. She would never tell Su Ji about the company’s troubles.
This was also the case when they were in the great Shang.
Wei Wei hurriedly nodded at her. “Ms. Su, you are still awake.”
Seeing that she was about to head to the study, Su Ji called out to her, “Ms. Wei Wei, wait a moment.”
Wei Wei stopped in her tracks, and Su Ji stepped forward politely, “is something wrong? Can you tell me about it?”
Wei Wei wouldn’t tell outsiders about the company’s Affairs, but Ms. Su was definitely not an outsider.
She glanced at the study and told Su Ji about the trouble Madam Xu was currently in.
It wasn’t a serious matter, but it was a headache. Previously, in Continent M, there was a problem with the spokesperson for the new energy project.
Now that the Xu Group had moved to China, the new energy project would mainly be developed in China in the future, so relatively, the investment in Continent M would definitely decline greatly.
However, the spokesperson only wanted to stay in his own market in Continent M and wasn’t optimistic about the Chinese market. In the past two days, the management company had begun to make things difficult for the Xu Group, expressing that they were very dissatisfied with the company’s decision.
He wanted to terminate his contract.
“Not optimistic about our market? Then this person has no vision.”
“CEO Xu said the same thing,” Wei Wei smiled.
They had to admit that Continent M was a gathering place for the rich. The per capita consumption every year was indeed more than 100 times that of other regions in the world.
However, China had been developing rapidly in recent years and had surpassed other countries in the world. Its per capita consumption might not be as high as the richest continent, but its population was high. Anyone who looked down on the Chinese market was definitely blind.
“You said that person is an international superstar? What’s his name?”
“Sam,” Wei Wei said.
Su Ji searched the brain of the original body, “I’ve never heard of him. I only know someone called Bill.”
He’s Pei Xi’s husband.
“Are you talking about that Hollywood star, Bill?” Wei Wei looked quite surprised.
“It seems so,” Su Ji nodded.
They had not talked about Bill before they talked about Sam. However, if Ms. Su said that she knew Bill, she must be just a fan. Wei Wei smiled and changed the topic. “Sam will be flying to City A tomorrow. We’ll make an appointment to talk to him then. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll have to terminate the contract and find another candidate.”
“Fame is one thing,” Su Ji mumbled to herself, “the spokesperson’s character is also very important. We really have to investigate them thoroughly.”
Su Ji was suspicious of his character because he was not optimistic about the domestic market.
Wei Wei had only chatted with Su Ji for a few minutes, but she felt that Su Ji’s views were in line with CEO Xu’s, and she couldn’t help but have a good impression of her.
She was also more willing to discuss related matters with her.
“You’re right, Ms. Su. We would do our best to investigate their background. Sam’s resume is all right, and he has a lot of fans in our country. But, you should also know that it’s hard to really understand such things without getting in touch with them in private.”
Su Ji nodded in agreement.
Wei Wei said that Sam would be in City A tomorrow.
“Then you will meet him immediately tomorrow? ” Su Ji asked.
“No, we won’t. If we do that, Sam will think that we’re in a hurry. Then, the company will be at a disadvantage when negotiating with him.”
Su Ji touched her chin. Since Sam was free for the next few days after coming to the country, she might be able to use this opportunity to help get in touch with Sam.
Her mother was used to being a strong woman and took all the responsibility.
Su Cunyi didn’t have a good eye, but she did.
She’d support her mother all the way.
“What hobbies does Sam have?” She asked.
Wei Wei recalled that when they were discussing the endorsement deal, it was mentioned that he liked to drink and hang out in bars.
Su Ji nodded calmly.
Her aura was very similar to Xu Minghi’s, and Wei Wei subconsciously began to answer all her questions.
“Ms. Su, why are you asking this?”
Su Ji smiled casually. “I’m just asking. She lifted her chin towards the study. Ms. Wei Wei, you can go now. I won’t disturb you.”
Wei Wei nodded her head doubtfully.
After bidding Wei Wei farewell, Su Ji returned to her room.
She did some research and found that when Sam came to China a few years ago, he was photographed entering Old Bar.
Old Bar was the largest and most luxurious bar in A City, with hundreds of servers.
Celebrities were often photographed there.
Su Ji suspected that when Sam came this time, he might go there again.
Moreover, since he liked to drink, it was very likely that he would go tomorrow.
There were pictures in the news article. They were photos taken by the paparazzi in the bar.
Under the rows of wine cabinets, men and women were dancing together.
In front of each of them was a glass of the bartender’s carefully crafted drink. The color was beautiful, comparable to the tea she made.
The nightlife in the Shang Dynasty was also very rich, but it could not be compared to the bars that young people went to nowadays.
Su Ji decided to try her luck tomorrow night.
**
In the blink of an eye, it was already the second night. Su Ji started to prepare.
Recently, Xu Mingzhi had been busy until late at night, so she wouldn’t notice if she went out quietly.
She glanced at Old Bar’s event for tonight.
A few days ago, there were also celebrities who came in and were photographed, so these two days, they held a masquerade party.
Everyone was given a mask that covered their eyes.
Although only the eyes were covered, it was better than nothing!
It was convenient for Su Ji to hide her identity.
The most important thing now was to not be discovered.
Pei Huai was sitting by the window and reading the contract. The wind was strong tonight, and the curtains in front of Su Ji’s table would be blown up from time to time.
Then, he saw Su Ji’s figure in the room through the window across from him.
A few minutes later, when he saw Su Ji’s face again, he was stunned.
She was wearing sunglasses, a mask, a hat, and a black bag on her back. She looked like she was trying to rob someone.
Then, Su Ji received a message.
“Going out?”
Su Ji pulled open the curtains and saw Pei Huai sitting in front of the window.
She wanted to sneak out, but she slipped up.
She tapped on the screen a few times.
[ “Ah, I’m just going to the supermarket.” ]
Pei Huai glanced at her “fully armed” outfit.
Going to the supermarket like this was definitely not because she wanted to spend money to buy things.
But he didn’t say anything.
“Be careful and come back early.”
Su Ji took a look and put away her phone.
To be on the safe side, she didn’t call Uncle Wang and took a taxi herself.
After Su Ji got into the taxi and left, Pei Huai looked at the time. He put away the contract that he was going through halfway and picked up the coat that was hanging on the back of the chair.
He got up and went out…
