Chapter 122: The Higher the Hope, the Greater the Disappointment

"What? Do you think this is a joke? Just invite anyone casually?" The advertising department manager immediately raised his voice. He was used to butting heads with the finance department manager, and everyone was accustomed to it. However, Xia Weilan, sitting at her own position, was a bit stunned.

The old man coughed heavily. The two managers, who were already full of gunpowder, stopped their words and ended the argument.

Xia Weilan remained calm on the surface, but she was a bit worried inside. She had thought that since they were going to do it, they should do everything to the best and tolerate no sloppiness. Therefore, when negotiating with each department, she also agreed to choose some better - known stars.

"I actually have an idea," Xia Weilan suddenly broke the silence.

Everyone looked at her again. Even Xia Ruolin, who had been gloating, suddenly glanced at Xia Weilan, her eyes full of caution.

"What's your idea, Weilan?" Old Master Xia asked.

"I heard from the marketing department before that if we could get Z Jewelry to move into Moying Mall, we could get free advertising. In this way, the company could reduce its advertising investment on various networks. The remaining funds would only need to be used to hire a mainstream star, and it would have a good publicity effect."

Hearing this, Old Master Xia's eyes flashed with approval.

The finance department manager and the advertising department manager also shut their mouths, and their expressions looked better.

"In that case, I'll leave the cooperation with Moying Group to Weilan." Old Master Xia issued the order on the spot.

Xia Ruolin was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. Xia Weilan was actually planning to rely on Mo Beichen again. Was she going to rely on Mo Beichen for everything?

Xue Zhiqing also flashed a look in her eyes but could do nothing.

"Then which star is the advertising department planning to invite this time?" someone asked.

"The most suitable one at present is Han Yishi, who is very popular for his ancient - costume drama." The advertising department manager said.

Everyone's eyes lit up. "That guy is really a good fit. He has a flamboyant style, which is very suitable for the personality of Z Jewelry, unique and leading the trend."

"Yes, and Han Yishi has a lot of followers. He is the national heartthrob. As long as he endorses it, it will surely sell well."

"My daughter is his fan. I'm sure that as soon as the advertisement is broadcast, my daughter will immediately run to the mall to buy Z Jewelry."

As they talked, they seemed to have already seen the hot - selling scene, and their eyes were all shining with excitement.

Xia Weilan was also very satisfied with this male star. Just then, Xia Ruolin suddenly said something that dampened everyone's enthusiasm.

"But I heard that Han Yishi never accepts jewelry advertisements, and he once said that he wouldn't accept anything sissy."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and the advertising department was also speechless for a moment. The difficulties were clear to the advertising department, but there was really no more suitable endorsement candidate for the product image.

"How do we know if we don't try?" Xia Weilan suddenly said. Her tone was neither too warm nor too cold, but it had a calming power.

Hearing her words, the advertising department manager immediately gained more confidence. "That's right. Let's try first."

Xia Ruolin didn't expect that in such a short time, Xia Weilan had won over both the advertising department manager and the finance department manager. She was so angry that she held her breath throughout the whole process.

However, when the meeting ended, Xue Zhiqing actually pulled Xia Ruolin in front of Xia Weilan and said kindly:

"Weilan, Ruolin has a straightforward personality. She may accidentally offend you in business matters. I hope you don't take it to heart."

All the managers who had already stood up saw this scene, which made Xia Ruolin feel very embarrassed. But Xue Zhiqing suddenly tightened her grip on Xia Ruolin's hand.

"Ruolin, apologize to Weilan properly. You were too reckless just now."

Xia Weilan looked calm and just watched the performance of the father - daughter duo.

"Sorry, I was too hasty just now and almost made my sister feel wronged."

Just now, Xia Ruolin had directly pointed out that Xia Weilan was irresponsible. She didn't expect that Xia Weilan had made two - hand preparations. Not only had she prepared the materials herself, but she had also projected them on the screen on the spot.

This made Xia Ruolin look extremely irrational for insisting that Xia Weilan was wrong.

"It's okay. We're all working for the company." Xia Weilan said lightly.

The old man watched as the two of them were talking calmly and walked out satisfied.

After work, Xia Weilan made an appointment with Mo Beichen to have dinner.

"Husband, this is your favorite. Eat more, and also this..."

Xia Weilan kept adding dishes and pouring wine for Mo Beichen, which made Mo Beichen's shrewd eyes flash.

Xia Weilan was really acting abnormally at the moment. Coupled with the fact that Xia Weilan had been busy with the project recently, he had already guessed what was going on, but he still pretended not to know anything and asked:

"Do you have something you want me to help with?"

Xia Weilan stopped her chopsticks and then smiled gently, answering:

"Husband, I want Z Jewelry to move into Moying Mall. I know you will definitely support me, right?"

The smile on Xia Weilan's face remained, but it made Mo Beichen want to laugh. However, the words he said made Xia Weilan feel extremely cold.

"I'm afraid this will be a bit difficult. The mall's cooperation partners are already full. We can't just kick someone out and then let Z Jewelry move in."

"I see..." The smile on Xia Weilan's face became a bit stiff. She lowered her eyes, and her whole body exuded disappointment.

"In that case, I'll think of another way." Xia Weilan raised her head again and smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

She had originally thought that this matter would be a sure thing, but unexpectedly...

The higher the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Husband, let's eat..." Xia Weilan greeted Mo Beichen.

After the two finished their meal, while Xia Weilan was waiting for the car at the hotel entrance, Mo Beichen in the parking lot received a phone call.

When Mo Beichen came out again, he seemed like nothing had happened and proposed:

"I'll take you out for a stroll."

At Moying Mall, when Mo Beichen appeared like a king, many staff members saluted him, while Xia Weilan was a bit confused.

Why did Mo Beichen suddenly take her out for a stroll? It seemed quite inappropriate at this time.

The two walked side by side. Not far away, many people were gathered together watching the excitement.

Mo Beichen directly led Xia Weilan towards that place.

Xia Weilan was not surprised at all. After all, something had happened in Mo Beichen's own mall, and he must go to deal with it.

So Xia Weilan obediently followed beside him without saying much.

As soon as they got closer, they heard an unfriendly voice say:

"I've said that as long as you reduce the rent, I'll renew the contract immediately. What's the point of your constant urging? You don't solve the problems and don't care about our demands. We've been cooperating with your Moying Company for many years. The economy has been sluggish recently, and the prices of everything have dropped. Why is the rent still the same? Isn't this pushing us to a dead end?"
