Chapter 48
Chen thought for a moment and looked at Grace. The look in his eyes was full of tricks.
With just one glance, Grace understood that Chen was probably up for no good.
Sure enough, Chen quickly said bluntly, "Grace, can you go to talk to Mr. Jones and see if he can spare some of their company's advertisement budget for us"
Grace was so angry that she couldn't help thinking, "Are you asking me to sell myself?"
Who did Director Chen think she was?
Seeing that Grace didn't say anything, Chen said, "We've heard about you recently. You have a special relationship with Mr. Jones. You hugged him in front of the office in the afternoon the day before yesterday. You were together yesterday and did not come to work."
Grace frowned. It was too unfair.
"Don't be unhappy. I don't mean to blame you." Chen's attitude was cold. He smiled and said, "I mean, you can't get all benefit to yourself. This is for the whole company and all the colleagues out there."
Grace understood that she couldn't offend Chen too much, so she could only show her attitude euphemistically.
"Director Chen, this advertising business should be done by our colleagues from the advertising department."
Chen raised his eyebrows. He was a little unhappy, but he still suppressed it. He said patiently, "Grace, we are a small company with limited manpower. Everyone should give full potential to their abilities. This is what everyone should be responsible for."
Grace now seemed a little narrow-minded.
Grace knew that Chen was good at this, he could fool people in work.
Is she going to look for Heinz?
When Grace thought of going to find Heinz, she felt embarrassed. Yesterday's situation was already tricky, and Heinz even threatened to pursue her.
Was it appropriate for Grace to look for Heinz today?
However, it seemed impossible not to go. Grace had to get Heinz's DNA, which was really a troublesome job.
Chen saw that Grace was hesitating, so he continued to tempt her. "I have something to say. If you make this deal happen, you can get an increment." Lilian also opened her mouth at the right time, with a little sarcasm. "Grace, just go and have a try. Director Chen does not promise a salary increment easily." After that, Lilian glanced at Chen with contempt for him.
Director Chen was very embarrassed.
Grace glanced at their faces and said, "Director Chen, let's make this clear, how much of an increment can you offer me?"
Chen frowned and didn't like to negotiate with his subordinates. But for the sake of money, he thought for a while and said, "20 percent."
"Twenty percent of my salary?" Grace asked more specific.
Chen nodded. "Of course."
"Is there any further commission if I succeed?" Grace did not want to be a free pawn, nor did she want to be seen as a worker with negative working attitude. Chen's face darkened. "Just take care of it. You can't push too far."
"Since I have asked, I plan to succeed." Grace added, "If I succeed, I can earn a lot of advertising fees for the company. Why can't I ask for my own good? Director Chen, I'm not doing this for charity." Chen's face darkened and he said nothing.
At this time, Lilian said, "Of course, the director will not treat his staff badly. If you get it done, you will get a commission of three percent."
"Director Chen, is it true then, what Miss Ross just said?" Grace looked at Chen.
Chen said irritably, "Of course it's true."
"Well, I'll try." Grace did not delay.
Since these were some things that she could not avoid, she had to bite the bullet. She didn't want to be a coward.
Half an hour later.
In Heinz's company office.
Grace stood under the skyscraper which seemed to pierce the clouds. She looked up. It was so tall.
Grace had to speak to Heinz. She took out the name card she kept earlier, looked at the number on it, and dialed it.
The call connected after a long time, and a magnetic male voice came from the other side, "Hello."
Grace's heart trembled. She pursed her lips and introduced herself, "Hi, Mr. Jones, It's Grace Smith."
There was a pause on the other side, and suddenly his voice became much more playful. "Miss Smith, it's you?" "Yes, it's me," Grace replied.
"Have you thought about it? Are you going to be my woman?" Heinz said in a deep voice on the other side of the phone.
Grace was stunned. How could she answer this question?
She smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Jones, I'm married."
Heinz snorted sarcastically, as if he had known that Grace was hiding it on purpose.
"Well, in that case, there is nothing to say."
"Mr. Jones, I came here today to discuss some business with you. I'm right in outside building."
"Business?" Heinz sneered. "I don't remember that I have business to talk with you."
Grace's face became even more awkward. She said in a pleading voice, "Mr. Jones, I really have something to do. I have to see you. Please give me a chance to meet you, okay?"
"I don't have time." Heinz said coldly. He hung up on her.
Grace was stunned.
What did Heinz mean? Did he want to see her or did he not?
After waiting for five minutes, her phone still didn't ring.
Grace called Heinz again and he didn't answer the phone.
After waiting for a long time, Grace dialed again, but he still did not pick it.
Grace was a little helpless and muttered, "You appear when I don't want to meet you. When I want to meet you now, you think highly of yourself just like that. You also said that you are pursuing me. Are you pursuing me like this? What is it?"
"You're the one who thinks highly of yourself, aren't you? You're a married woman. What else?" An ironic male voice sounded behind Grace.
Grace was shocked. She turned around and saw Heinz and Lester standing behind her.
Heinz looked at Grace with disdain and anger in his eyes.
"How dare she say that I think too highly of
myself? What the hell is she talking about?" thought Heinz.
How dare she!
"Hello, Mr. Jones." Grace could only play dumb and answer him directly. She pretended that she had not muttered anything at all previously.
However, Heinz did not intend to let Grace go. He raised his voice and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that Miss Smith could not wait for a few minutes for me to come downstairs. What's wrong? You missed me so much just after we haven't seen each other for a night?"
Grace was embarrassed. "You must be joking. I came to see you on behalf of the Daily Entertainment Magazine. I hope you can give me a few minutes?"
Heinz said proudly, "No."
"Mr. Jones." Grace hurriedly said, "Since you have come down here, why is it that you say no?"
"Who said I came downstairs to see you?" Heinz raised his handsome eyebrows and looked sharply at her face. "Do I have to see you when I come down?" "Didn't you just say that you wanted to see me?" Grace didn't care what he said, but just said, "Let's talk about business."
"I don't talk business with a married woman." Heinz ignored Grace.
Grace was instantly embarrassed.
"Lester, let's go." Heinz turned to look at Lester and said in a low voice, "I'm busy today. We don't have to waste time on a married woman."
