Chapter 876: Chapter 332: Hungover and a Chaotic Night (Part 3)
“In addition, the eldest son of the Brioni family arrived from Italy early this morning. The new chairman of the LV Group, upon learning of your strong friendship with the president, also expressed a keen desire to et you. Furthermore, Ms. Kristen of Hers has also arrived in Paris early this morning…”
Upon hearing Ray ntion that so many people were waiting to see him, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but click his tongue.
He initially wanted to refuse directly, but then he thought of sothing else.
“When can Fel arrive in Paris?”
“The president boarded a private jet in New York last night, and is expected to arrive in Paris at around 11 a.m…”
Zhou Wang tapped his fingers a few tis in response, pondered for a mont, and then said:
“Find a suitable place. In addition to those involved last night, I’ll give you another list, and you bring in the heads of those as well… Tell Fel that I’m waiting for him to join for lunch.”
“Okay, Mr. Zhou, I’ll get on it right away!”
…
TikTok European Branch, Paris office.
Amid the overflowing aroma of coffee, what should have been the most energetic morning was now a spell of lethargy among the staff, who were sporadically glancing toward the company’s eting room.
Inside, behind semi-transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, the company’s executives sat together, seemingly in a heated debate with the brand representatives on the other side. Even through the soundproofed eting room, the aggressive gestures and expressions revealed that the eting was not going well.
It was unclear how much ti had passed, when suddenly the brand representatives on the other side stood up, and the door to the eting room swung open. One female brand representative could be heard condescendingly speaking:
“Oh, dear Lu, believe , the fact that we from the Brioni family are still willing to sit down and talk to you is already the greatest acknowledgnt to you, but your insatiable demands disgust . Perhaps when you wake up, we can schedule another ti!”
“Lu, our conditions from the LV Group won’t change either… In fact, if it weren’t for TikTok showing considerable sincerity, we might not even consider sponsoring this event at all.”
“Perhaps you miscalculated from the start; if you insist this is a fair deal, maybe you should seek out other brands, perhaps like your Huaxia people’s proud ‘Noble Bird’?”
“David, the brand you’re referring to is called ‘Noble Bird’…”
“Oh, isn’t that na even stranger?”
Amid the final laughs from the brand representatives from Prada and Saint Laurent, everyone departed one by one.
After all the brand representatives left, Lu Wenqi, who had been silent on the other side of the conference table for so ti, slamd the table hard, startling the executives nearby.
Realizing his loss of composure, Lu Wenqi let out a long sigh and waved his hand, saying, “Sorry, everyone, I might have startled you…”
“President Lu, we all understand your feelings. These brand representatives are indeed sowhat overbearing; each of them wants exclusive naming rights but none are willing to pay a penny in sponsorship. They had no sincerity from the start…”
Beside Lu Wenqi, Yu Dandan, also of Huaxia descent and Vice President of the European Company, said with a bitter smile.
“Perhaps, we really can only give up.”
Lu Wenqi rubbed his temples wearily, his voice somber as he said, “You’ve probably also heard that I’ve already submitted my resignation to the head office. Everyone, I don’t know how the head office will decide, but as colleagues for many years, I advise you all to prepare early…”
Everyone’s expressions grew sowhat dejected at his words.
The board of directors of the head office, due to the difficulties in expanding the European market, had already murmurs of “completely abandoning the European market,” sothing they all had heard.
“President Lu, no matter what, the head office needs to co up with a plan to resolve the current situation, right? We’ve already invested so much cost and effort for this Halloween event, can we just let it be like this?”
Yu Dandan said with so reluctance.
“Vice President Qiu, who is in charge of human resources at the company, did contact , saying that a shareholder from the head office will arrive in Europe soon to help resolve this issue, but this isn’t Huaxia after all, and who knows who’ll co. This is just going through the motions; don’t take it too seriously…”
Lu Wenqi shook his head and let out a soft sigh.
Just as Yu Dandan was about to say sothing more, Lu Wenqi’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing the unfamiliar number, he originally didn’t want to answer, but after hesitating, he picked it up.
On the other end, a brisk yet slightly hoarse male voice spoke:
“Is this President Lu? Hello, I’m Zhou Wang.”
