Chapter 899 What Do You Think
Her free hours left Sheryl feeling a bit restless, so she wanted to keep herself busy. She headed to the
The moment she stepped into the office, I called her over for help. "Sher! Good, you''re here. I''m
going out to negotiate a n. Come with me. You''re the professional. It will be much easier if you''re
around."
I had run thepany in Sheryl''s stead for quite a few years. After Sheryl returned, I had tried to
turn thepany back over to Sheryl several times, not because she wasn''t capable of the role, but
because she wanted to give Sheryl back what she owned. Since Sheryl wasn''t really ready or prepared
to be the head of thepany again, I wanted to involve Sheryl in everything she was
handling, big or small, to help keep Sheryl in the loop of what was happening in thepany until she
officially took on the position of CEO again.
Sheryl found the job a bit too challenging, and declined, "I don''t think I should be there. You''re much
more experienced in negotiation with the customers than I am. You can do a good job on your own. I
can help you with any other cases that you may not have time to deal with."
"Sher…" I didn''t like that Sheryl refused to take part in the meeting and tried to think of a reason to
convince her otherwise. "This case is really important to ourpany. Pleasee with me. I want
you to be there in case I''m uncertain of anything."
"But…"
Sheryl started to reject again but I interrupted her. "There''s no ''but'' here," she said firmly. Before
Sheryl had any chance to reject her again, I grabbed her arm and pulled her into the lift. "Don''t
forget that you''re the owner of thispany, not me. It''s not fair to just throw all the responsibility to
me, isn''t it?"
"You''re very capable, I. I can rest assured leaving everything to you," she replied with a sly grin.
I felt rather delightful and proud of the trust Sheryl had in her, but at the same time, burdened by
having to run thepany. She knew that today, her attempt to make Sheryl take over her role failed
once again, so she let that matter go for the time being and focused on the business matter at hand.
She drove them to the targetpany.
Waiting for them outside the office was the secretary of the targetpany''s boss. Thispany was
investing in real estate and was linked to Cloud Advertising Company via a personalwork. They
wanted Cloud Advertising Company to n a wine party for them where they could advertise for their
newly constructed houses.
All the guests invited were either rich in wealth or power and could be strong potential investors. The
event, therefore, was deemed extremely crucial by the CEO. He had negotiated with several other
advertisingpanies, but all the proposed ns were substandard for his taste.
"Hi, Dillon," I called the secretary as she saw who was waiting for them. Clearly, the two had already
been introduced. Wearing a warm smile, she greeted, "Long time no see. How is your wife doing?"
"Very good," Dillon Zhang returned with an even warmer smile. "She just mentioned you yesterday.
She wanted to thank you for the beauty salon''s membership card you gave herst time. The service
there is fantastic, apparently."
Delighted to hear that, I skillfully switched the topic to one of her own interest almost seamlessly.
"d to hear that she likes it. If you really want to thank me, though, I believe I''ll be needing your help
This was truly I''s forte. She had great skill in handling interpersonal rtions for the benefit of the
Though some rtions may not lead to much, the one she possessed right now had the potential to do
a great deal for thepany.
"I can''tpletely assure you of this, though," Dillon Zhang replied with a hint of embarrassment. "You
know that my boss has high standards. Before you, we already contacted four advertisingpanies,
but none of them crafted anything that was even satisfactory for my boss. If you aren''t confident that
you can do well, I''d advise you to cancel the meeting so I don''t get scolded again."
Afraid that I would be disappointed in his inability to influence his boss'' final decision, Dillon Zhang
proceeded to exin the situation, "Ms. Zhao, I''m also hoping that you can strike a deal with our
have limited power."

"Dillon, rest assured, I was just making friends with your wife when I gave her the card as a gift." I
showed a full understanding of his situation. "I didn''t mean anything else. It would be ridiculous of me to
expect you to help me just because I gave your wife a salon membership card. Don''t worry, we have
confidence in our ability. Also, today I have the ace of ourpany with me."
"Ace?" Dillon Zhang''s eyebrows shot up in surprise. He finally turned to Sheryl and gestured to her.
"And this is…?"
"Yes, my ace, Autumn," I introduced Sheryl to him as he reached out to shake Sheryl''s hand. "Dillon,
don''t worry. She can solve any problem we encounter. I''m certain that Mr. Su is going to love what we
present to him." Cary Su was Dillon Zhang''s hard-to-please boss.
"Autumn?" Dillon Zhang pronounced the name once, finding the name familiar. After a moment, it
clicked, and he asked, "Is she the new employee that Mr. Shen rmended?"
I gave him a meaningful smile and responded, "The n for Mr. Shen was indeed her work, but…
she is definitely not a new employee."
"Then?" he asked in doubt.
"Autumn is not only a part of Cloud Advertising Company but the chairperson of the board. She''s my
boss. I''ve brought a very important figure here with me, so you should understand how important we
deem this business opportunity to be." The information I just revealed was striking, so as to give the
other party the impression that they truly wanted to work out a good deal. I also had the intention of
making Sheryl''s presence more known, so it would be easier for her to navigate the negotiationter
on.
Now that she was satisfied with the introductions, I was ready to start.
"Let''s get to the topic, Dillon. What are Mr. Su''s conditions you can tell us about now?" she asked
rather seriously.
Sheryl''s introduction grabbed Dillon Zhang''s attention, and he continued inspecting her a while longer.
''Where did this new chairperson of the board of Cloud Advertisinge from? I surely haven''t heard of
her for the past few years. And I...'' he thought, ''she speaks highly of her, even when she''s usually so
strict in business. Since it''s I''s choice to bring her, she must really be somebody. I hope they make
it.''
He briefly exined Cary Su''s requirements and remarked with a scornful look, "Actually, his conditions
aren''t that hard to meet. I''ve looked through the otherpanies'' proposals and they all seemed
alright. I don''t understand why he''s so fussy about this."
Heaving out a deep sigh, he continued, "Mr. Su just didn''t like them, I''m guessing. Every time I sent him
a new n, he thought it was too simple, and I had to go looking for another reliablepany. At
times, after getting the proposal, he didn''t even go to meet the representative from thepany I
contacted.
It put me in a difficult situation. A few days ago, while I was struggling to find newpanies, I
happened to hear Mr. Shen mentioning yourpany and it reminded me of you. That was why I tried
contacting you, Ms. Zhao. If even you can''t give him what he wants, then I don''t know who else I can
seek help from." With a wry smile, he went on, "I was so busy with this case that I was away from home
for about a week. My wife has beenining all the while. Please help me, Ms. Zhao."
"Sher, what do you think?" I turned to Sheryl and requested her preliminary analysis of the situation.
Sheryl fell into deep thought. She had to admit that she knew quite a few capable advertising
that could only be attributed to their misinterpretation of his requirements. Their proposals may have
seemed good, but the direction was probably wrong in the first ce.
To make the situation worse, the preliminary ns were presented by Dillon Zhang, not by the
representatives themselves, because Cary Su didn''t want to meet them. Presentation by a third party
would have definitely resulted in some mimunication, so the chances of these ns appealing to
Cary Su were slim.
