Chapter 152 Tight-Fisted
Chapter 152 Tight-Fisted
After a few simple words, Jane hung up the phone.
Her son was very polite. She wasn't worried Dayton might make trouble.
Jane had to show herself among others after a few days off.
"Ms. Jane, you're here!"
"Good morning, Ms. Jane!"
The employees greeted her warmly when they saw her.
Elyse had reformed Carey these days. She was working at the front desk now. It was impossible to tell
she was once a foot massager.
Carey has been brainwashed by Jessica recently and wanted to be self-reliant. She wanted to change
her position from a receptionist to a salesperson.
"Ms. Jane, can you make that transfer?"
Carey said sincerely. She wanted to challenge herself.
She could work as a receptionist, but she could not challenge herself because the work was boring and
patterning. She wanted to rely on her own ability to gain a foothold here.
Carey clenched her fist. Although this thought was a little ridiculous, she still wanted to buy a house
and a car herself.
Ever since she came to City J, she knew the wider world. Carey realized that marrying Frederic was
not her intention. She wanted to fulfill her potentials.
Men are unreliable. It was better to rely on herself.
"Our company not only faces domestic clients. Occasionally, we need to go abroad for business."
Jane nodded. In fact, she found that Carey was particularly good at talking. It was better for her to do
sales. She might be able to expand the customers for the company.
But the requirements of a sale were high. She needed to be proficient in English.
"I know, Ms. Jane. I've already applied for English classes."
The launch went on smoothly. Jane gave the employees a bonus.
After receiving her first self-earned money, Carey bought a lot of tonics and clothes for Frederic's
parents. As for the rest, she reserved an English class.
She didn't have high education, so she had to start from the most basic of things. She knew this. Not
only did Carey understand it, but she was also very grateful.
Learning more things would not be wrong. In the past, her family couldn't support this. Since she came
out of the poor village, she wanted to realize her dream.
"Alright."
The transfer wouldn't be too fast. There was at least half a year's probation.
More haste less speed. If Carey met the requirements, Jane would give her the chance.
After all, Frederic's parents were sensible. They didn't have the pressure of being forced into a
marriage. Frederic also kept making contributions to the Duncan Group.
"Ms. Jane."
When Jessica saw Jane, she thought her savior came.
Ms. Jane finally came to the company. She had to make use of this opportunity.
Mr. Robert said at the last meeting that they shouldn't disturb Ms. Jane with trivial things. They should
solve the issues by themselves.
"What?"
Jane was going to pick up her son. She planned to take her son to the mall to buy a few sets of clothes,
but she was stopped by Jessica.
"Ms. Jane, there is a thing."
Mr. Robert had no idea about this matter. So, in the end, she had to ask Jane for help.
"We found a few models for our jewelry, but the contract was signed to Kylie."
Kylie had been working under the Duncan Group and she was the spokesperson for the last quarter.
"It's just that our company left Duncan Group. In theory, the contract with Miss Kylie has expired."
Jessica had once called Kylie's assistant. The other party refused the endorsement, saying that their
schedule was full.
"That's right. Kylie is sure to be the spokesperson for Snow, a brand under the Cart Group. How could
she come to our side?"
Jane was not surprised.
Moreover, the jewelry designed by their team was not suitable for Kylie's style.
It was refreshing, generous and cute but except for sweet.
Jessica laughed.
Jessica could not help but laugh. She immediately understood Ms. Jane's meaning.
Kylie was a goody two shoes. She wasn't worthy of their product.
The expenses for the first year were limited.
The financial manager, Betty Miller, had looked for Jessica and she gave very little budget.
"You don't have enough money? Money is not a problem. If there is any problem with our finance, I can
find another sponsor."
Jane thought Jessica was asking for money.
"No, that's not the case."
Jessica wanted to clarify things. Ms. Jane misunderstood. Although the company had some problems
with the operation of funds, the finance department thought of broadening sources of income and
reducing expenditure instead of asking for money.
An independent company must be responsible for its losses. If they often asked Ms. Jane for money
and refused to think of a way to solve it by itself, over time, it would form a bad habit which would lead
to more losses to the company.
"We are thinking about how to save money and how to make money."
Jessica took out a report. They only had 200, 000 for their filming.
"200, 000 for a star? This is far from enough."
Jane lowered her head to look at the report. A first-rate female star required tens of millions, and some
even cost hundreds of millions.
Only one wasn't a big brand. This price couldn't make ends meet.
It was true that using a first-tier star would give rise to a very good advertising effect, but according to
analysis, the targeted consumer of light luxury jewelry was women between 25-40 years old. They
were white-collar women, and they might not be crazy about star-chasing.
"I took a look. We need to find a shooting venue, a professional team, a makeup artist and a stage. So
there's only 150, 000 left for a spokesman."
Then they could only look for z-list stars.
But z-list stars lacked popularity. It was better to get a more beautiful girl on the street.
"Ms. Jane, this idea is brilliant!"
Those in this industry often asked too much because their earnings were often condensed. This was
the reality. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
But it wasn't true for an outsider.
An outsider often couldn't reach a good advertising effect, so it wasn't much different from who it was.
"This is difficult. It is impossible to find someone with an advertising effect but at the same time asking
little money unless the other party is doing charity."
Jane did not understand what Jessica was struggling about. According to her plan, for the sake of the
brand effect, she should invite a small star that matched their product. Jane would pay for the rest.
Among the people that the female lead had come into contact with, there were indeed a few small stars
who were good at making connections, but Jane did not intend to endorse them. Their moral standing
was questionable.
Besides, it was something that could be solved with money, so there was no need to owe somebody a
favor.
"Ms. Jane, there's a candidate right now. You don't need to owe others a favor. You can save the cost,
and we can have an advertising effect."
Jessica stared at her boss, waiting for her to speak.
"You mean..."
Jessica's gaze was too obvious. Jane pointed at herself in disbelief and asked in confusion, "You mean
me?"
This was too inconceivable!
"It's you. If you come, we can save on the cost. We can save more than a hundred thousand!"
Jessica laughed out loud. The financial manager was really good at money-saving tricks.
The higher-ups held a meeting and mentioned that the budget was not enough. At that time, the
financial manager immediately thought of Ms. Jane.
"You have a lot of fans on Weibo. How creative is it to endorse your own brand!"
Jessica was fooled by the financial manager and found that this stupid idea was very reliable.
"Ms. Jane, we have to consider the schedule for celebrities because they are often busy at the end of
the year."
Jessica continued to encourage Jane. There was no one more suitable than Ms. Jane.
