Chapter 104
The next day, Jael's discussion with CF was basically over, but CF did not directly give an answer.
After meeting Jael and dealing with the work sent to her, Anika went to a restaurant not far from the hotel in the evening.
By the time she reached the booked table number, Camille's date had arrived.
"So, you're Anika?"
The man raised his eyes and opened his mouth in surprise.
Anika looked at the familiar face in front of her and did not say anything at the moment.
She didn't expect that CF's French design director would be the boy she met while traveling in Fiji.
"Hey, have you forgotten about me? I'm so sad."
Kiefer's expression seemed to be a little disappointed.
"I just didn't expect you to be the design director of CF Anika sat down opposite him and nodded with a smile, "Director Arquette, nice to meet you."
"Oh? Do I look too young?" Kiefer raised his eyebrows.
He was wearing a proper suit, but he still couldn't conceal the youthful feeling on his face.
He was indeed younger than he really was.
Hearing this, Anika nodded, agreeing with his words.
Kiefer smiled, "You and Camille are so close.You must have known about me earlier.Why didn’t you contact me?"Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
CF is backed by the Arquette Group, and Kiefer's father is a director of the Arquette Group.
Anika also understood that this Airborne Design Director would probably be promoted very soon.
Although Mr.Robert is the Vice President of CF and has shares, Kiefer's words also carry weight when it comes to choosing partners.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Kiefer added, "You know very well that CF has been cooperating with NK-Bio for five years.Just this alone gives him an advantage over NY Company”
It looked as if he was really tempting her to change her mind.
Anika shook her head and looked at him, "Didn't Camille tell you that I'm already married?"
The Cooper family had always had a solid cooperation with the Arquette Group.
If she wants to go through the back door, she should also ask Zac for help.
However, regardless of whether it was exams or business discussions during her schooldays, Anika liked the sense of accomplishment she had gained.
If Zac helped her, it would be meaningless.
"Alright, it's just a joke."
Kiefer sighed and shrugged, "I'm just regretting that a girl who is fated to be with me is actually married"
"Director Arquette, since you already know why I'm here, I'll tell you the truth."
Anika took a sip of the water that the waiter had just handed over.
"I saw Mr.Cortez meet you in private yesterday."
Kiefer glanced at her and generously admitted, "Oh, he promised me a rebate.It really sounds tempting"
"Mr.Cortez is so generous.’’ Anika praised him, but didn't say anything else.
After a moment of silence, Kiefer smiled, "I thought you would give me a higher reward,"
"I'm sorry, I can't do it"
NK's integrated production line is more sophisticated and cheaper than NY's.
Anika didn't want to fight for the price or profit.
Moreover, Kiefer probably won't need it.
"You're really interesting.’’ Kiefer pursed his lower lip and finally became more serious.
"Don't worry, although NK-Bio has more advantages, the CF will still consider the next year's partners fairly."
Anika nodded and replied with a smile, "That's enough.’’
After all, NY was a new company.
As long as she could compete fairly, even if she couldn't get an order from CF in the end, she wouldn't be particularly regretful.
After coming out of the restaurant, Anika declined Kiefer's request to send her back and took the bus back to the hotel alone.
Just as she exited the elevator, she saw Sara standing in front of her room in the corridor, her expression a little anxious.
"President Meyer, Ritz called me.It was early in the morning in the country.If it wasn't for the important things, Ritz wouldn't have contacted her and Sara at this time.” Anika frowned slightly and led Sara into the room.
Then, she asked, "What happened at the company?"
Sara hesitated and did not say anything.
Instead, she handed her the phone.
Ten minutes ago, Ritz sent her a long screenshot.
As for the content of the screenshot, it was a post from a certain group.
Posting LZ seemed to often leak information on the forum, from the screenshots, the post's popularity was very high.
[ NY has been very famous recently.She has done a lot of marketing recently and even invited Movie Queen Sam to endorse her.However, our source has learned something these days and discovered that the female boss behind NY is not simple.]
[The female boss surnamed R was unfortunately ‘lost’ when she was young and was only brought back to a wealthy family when she was about to reach adulthood.Unfortunately, her parents passed away and could not doa paternity test, so she could only barely do an inaccurate paternity test.]
[Although this type of appraisal was not accurate, the patriarch of a wealthy family was too obsessed with looking for his grand daughter.He insisted that this was his grand daughter.The son-in-law who
took care of the old man for half his life had the intention of making the old man happy, so he could only accept this niece.]
[Unfortunately, his son-in-law's kindness had dug a big hole for him.Not long ago, the old man passed away.R got most of the inheritance.He took care of his father-in-law for half of his life without getting a penny.He was also sent to prison by R.His granddaughter L also got very little inheritance.] [It would be fine if R was the granddaughter of the old man, but our source had heard that R had recently came out to meet his family, saying that she was not the granddaughter of the old man at all.]
[However, so what if she wasn't, after the inheritance was divided up, it was impossible for R to spit it out again.Poor R had ruined L's reputation and forced her to retire and take her family's property, while his father was imprisoned for R's design.It had to be said that what R did was truly conniving.]
[SI]
["Heavens, what kind of contemporary snake and scorpion woman is this?’]
["Uh, no way.I just placed an order for my goddess for NY’s new face cream foundation.Now, I'm simply afraid of being cursed to pieces.’]
["I was in the entertainment industry before? Did anyone peel off the skin and unraveled it?’]
["Say something from the top of the pot.I think I've decoded it, but I feel like the other person can't say it’]
"This post was deleted by the public relations department at the first possible moment, but it was moved by some marketing numbers.
Ritz tried his best to suppress the rumors, but now all the e-commerce platforms of the company are still starting to show malicious rejection of orders.
The partners also have the media to ask about it.
In addition to the cooperative orders, we recently launched a product line for C-end raw liquid.
Sam also helped to promote the product line, and the sales volume in the early stages has been good", Sara explained.
Anika returned the phone to Sara with a calm expression.
"Go book the earliest ticket now.Leave the rest to Jael.Let's return home first."
"Alright."
Sara nodded and paused for a moment before asking, "President Meyer, are you alright?"
Anika smiled at her and said, "I'm fine.You've been busy all day.Go back first."
Hearing this, Sara could only nod and leave the room.
The room quieted down.
The smile on Anika's face also faded.
Not many people knew about her childhood.
Even if there were some gossip in the circle, for Zac's sake, she shouldn't dare to cause trouble for him like this.
Kayleigh had said that Lucy and Owen had met before, so she was probably scheming about this matter.
In a daze, the phone rang.
She took out her phone from her bag.
It was Scott.
"Nika, when will you return home?"
It was as if it was just an ordinary greeting.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll go back tomorrow”
After Anika finished speaking, she seemed to understand something.
She restrained her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle, is there something wrong?"
After five seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, she heard the other party sigh softly.
"Owen brought someone to see me."
Scott paused, "The other party said that he is your biological uncle"
