Chapter 386
Hearing her voice, Avery knew that something was wrong. He immediately reasoned, "He may be
sent by Shane to protect you. After all, a lot of things have happened recently. He is afraid for you
and the children''s safety. If you still need other information, I can acquire it for you."
"Avery, don''t be a bad person. I will deal with this matter myself. Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing.
I''ll try to be as levelheaded as possible."
"It''s not about that. We can''t figure Shane out most of the time, but it doesn''t mean we don''t know if
he''s in the wrong."
"I know what you mean, but I still want to contradict it. Avery, if this was an act that no one in the
world approves of, even if it was correct, would people have recorded this act and the person who
has done it in the annals of history?" Avery smiled bitterly and said, "You''re wrong. Who would do
something that''s not epted by everyone?"
"Let''s narrow this down. If Shane, among all of us, did something that we didn''t approve of, would
you still say that on behalf of him?" "You should believe that he loves you." "I believe it. At the same
time, I, too, believe that I love myself more."
Charlotte was not wrong. After all, if Shane had sent someone to take pictures of him, Avery would
not be happy. Therefore, he stayed silent and did not try to persuade Charlotte.
After a while, Charlotte demanded, "Don''t tell anyone else about this."
"I won''t."
"I''m hanging up."
"Wait a minute, Charlotte. If you feel wronged, don''t keep it to yourself. You can still find someone
else to talk about it."
Charlotte hung up without acknowledging him. Who could she go to? Rick and Kendall were
obviously out of the question. Peter and Zoe both worked for Shane. Even if their rtionship was
good, it was meaningless to talk about personal issues. Anne and Braden? Anne would berate
Shane with her, but it wouldn''t solve the problem. Braden was not even worth mentioning.
Therefore, she had no one to turn to.
Charlotte finished the food she ordered and wandered around before returning to the hotel.
Shane was reading something on hisputer in the room, which seemed to be some old
documents. He enjoyed reading these literature very much.
She walked over and snuck a peek, but did not ask him about it. Even if he exined, she would
not understand a thing.
"You''re back?" Shane looked up at her.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Where did you go?"
"I strolled around for a while. I''m taking Sheryl and Olive out again tomorrow."
Shane nodded. He did not show any hint of suspicion. He pointed to hisputer and said, "Come
here."
Only then did Charlotte walk over and sit beside him. She looked at hisputer, which was filled
with characters that she didn''t recognize. She tilted her head and looked at them for a long time, but
still couldn''t figure out what it was. "What are these?"
"An ancient Roman transportation strategy."
"Is it still relevant?"
"Yes."
"Then isn''t my transportation strategy the same as before? It''s from several thousand years ago,
though." Charlotte frowned.
Shane observed, "The wisdom of human beings is limited. Now everyone is standing on the
shoulders of giants and enjoying the fruits of our predecessors''bor. Unless there is a massive
advancement in science and technology, ancient ways will continue to be relevant."
Charlotte nodded her head without fully understanding.
Although she knew that the transportation routines had been popr since ancient times, she didn''t
expect them to still be functional now.
Shane exined the transportation routines to her in great detail.
Just as he was about to finish, Charlotte''s phone rang. She picked it up and answered, "Hello?"
The more she listened, the more solemn her expression became.
After the call ended, she looked at Shane and said, "We might have to cut our trip short. Something
happened to our spokesperson."
"Our spokesperson?" What kind of spokesperson was needed for transportation?
"The endorser for our new product. Our research department invented a small- sized robot to
categorize and transport goods at the fastest speed without requiring manpower. The buyers need
only program the machine to categorize goods," Charlotte exined.
Shane knew that these robots could be used not only byrge logisticspanies, but also by
ordinary businessmen andpanies.
Therefore, it was not rare to have a new endorser.
"What happened to him?" Shane asked.
If memory served him right, the new spokesman was named Cassius. He once starred in a TV
series. Although he was the third male lead, his character was too popr and his fans all dubbed
him as "Warrior", and so he rose to prominence.
Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
He was kind and down-to-earth. In addition, his investors were willing to fund his projects.
Therefore, he had been living in the spotlight for more than a year.
"However, his rabid fans forced someone tomit suicide. His team was exposed for hiring a
lawyer for the fans involved. He still hasn''t given ament." Charlotte sighed. "I signed a ten
million dor contract with him. If we want to break the contract, well have to pay about 50 million
dors aspensation."
"I''m not sure about the rules of the entertainment industry. If an artist is cklisted, thepany
would still have topensate?" Shane frowned.
The only thing he knew about the entertainment industry was Tiffany.
It was also because of Tiffany that he was unwilling to understand the inner workings of the industry.
Charlotte sighed, "Normally, if it''s just a case of having an affair or something like that, then it''s
justified for us to break the contract. But this is only a temporary setback, thus we have to
compensate the artist. On the contrary, unless ourpany broke thew, the other party will also
have topensate us for breach of the contract."
Shane remained silent.
"Originally, I chose him because he''s very reliable. His character isn''t bad, and there are quite a few
people in the circle who praise him. At the same time, he is involved in many projects. Who wouldn''t
want to coborate with an artist like him? But what is his team doing?" Charlotte sighed as she
spoke.
"Do you have any solution?"
"It''s the same as your previous policy. You either stand behind him and publicly back him as an
investor, or terminate the contract with him. But we are a logisticspany, it''s meaningless to
support Cassius. It''s impossible for him to work for us forever."
And the amount of money needed to back him was probably no less than 50 million dors.
The teams andpanies behind him were all going to hemorrhage money. Anything that couldn''t
be acquired should be bribed with cash.
If there was a tough nut to crack in the process, it would be better to just shell out 50 million dors
and break off the contract.
"If you want to venture into showbiz, you can groom him to be a puppet. It doesn''t matter."
"It''s not a bad idea to enter the entertainment circle. The key issue is that Cassius has not spoken
yet. Did he choose to stay silent, or is his team silencing him?"
If he didn''t want to deal with this now, it would eventually backfire on us if we supported him.
Charlotte pondered for a while. In the end, she took out her phone and contacted her staff to
investigate this matter. At the same time, she surveyed the reaction on the Inte and decided her
next step.
It would be better if she could get in touch with Cassius himself.
Although she didn''t really want to spoil everyone''s fun, 50 million was a big sum for anypany to
lose.
Therefore, the best course of action was to return to Brine.
"Perhaps I''m going back tomorrow. There are still many ces that Sheryl and Olive haven''t visited,
and the matter with Olive hasn''t been settled yet." Charlotte''s face was full of sorrow.
Olive''s incident was associated with Mrs. Senior Fuller, so she wasn''t aware that it had already
been resolved.
