"Or what?" Zed asked in a threatening tone.
"Never mind, you won't understand." Jean didn't expect that her persuasion out of goodwill would make him even angrier. She told herself that it was best to stop talking.
Luckily, Avery and Moore came in at this moment, so Jean and Zed decided to stop and not make a scene. Once Avery and Moore settled down, their dishes were served and the lunch began.
Everyone at the table started to talk to one another with a warm hospitality. Some of the staff members went over to Zed and greeted him, even though they knew he was a cold person.
The lunch was quite pleasant. Some of the staff were excited to finally meet Avery in person.
Some consumed too much alcohol and they were confident enough to make a toast for Avery.
But when they attempted to they were stopped by either Adolf or Moore.
Jean was so delighted to be in this happy atmosphere that she couldn't stop smiling.
If there was anyone else who was at the center of attention other than Avery, it was Zed.
But the director got himself in a awkward position before the lunch. So everyone didn't dare to go overboard and offend Zed again.
After the lunch, most of the staff left first.
The first to leave was the director because he had to prepare for the shooting in the afternoon.
Jean became worried as she was watching the director leave.
When most of the staff had left, Jean looked at Zed and criticized, "Why are you giving the director a hard time? If he doesn't take your commercial seriously, you are the one who will suffer loss. Zed, why didn't you know to get along with your staff?"
Jean asked looking at Zed with a worried expression.
"You are overthinking things," Zed replied plainly.
"Yeah Jean, you shouldn't worry so much," said Avery with a smile on her face.
"What do you mean?" Jean looked at Avery with discontent.
"I haven't cooperated with the director before, but his fame is well known to me. They said he is one of the best directors in the country. His integrity and his fame are trustworthy factors. So, don't worry about this. Besides, who do you think Mr. Qi is? Mr. Qi is not someone other people can have a casual conversation with. So even though the director has good fame, he shouldn't talk so much to Mr. Qi."
Avery was helping Zed explain.
Upon hearing this, Jean widened her eyes and asked, "Avery, why are you sticking up for Zed so much, what favor did he do for you?"
"He has done too much," Avery said with a smile. "He's done so much that I can't even pay him back all my life. That's why I feel I should help him."
"Alright! You got me!" Jean sighed.
Avery came to this city with an invitation to work for Zed's company.
The endorsement money, of course, was considerable.
Avery laughed when she saw Jean speechless.
"But..." Jean saw Avery laughing so gleefully that she felt unhappy and pointed out, "I heard that you came to this city to endorse the product from Zed's company, but all the endorsement money will be going to your company's pocket, not yours!"
The look on everyone in the room suddenly changed as Jean spoke.
Especially Adolf, he felt both annoyed and angry.
'What's wrong with Jean?
