The Stand-In Who Burned the Script novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152

Vivian took it and flipped through the pages. Insignia Group had developed a new line of products and wanted a massive advertising campaign. The budget was millions of dollars.

“Rumor has it that a few ad agencies are already in talks with Insignia. Shouldn’t we make a move too?”

“Have you looked into the competition?”

“Seven companies in total. Their profiles are in the back.”

Zoe reached over and flipped a few pages. “Only one has less experience than Astra Media. A multinational like Insignia Group will definitely value track records. If we want this deal, we’re going to have to put in some serious effort.”

“Every deal requires effort. There’s no such thing as an impossible pitch, only insufficient sincerity.”

Vivian closed the folder. “Find out when their boss is free. Let’s arrange a dinner first.”

Zoe nodded. “Yes, boss.”

Unsurprisingly, the regional head of Insignia was not easy to book.

Zoe made several calls before finally getting through to his assistant, only to be told that Mr. Beck’s schedule was packed and he had no time for them.

“Did he mention when he might be available?”

“He said it’s uncertain and that they’ll contact us if a slot opens up.”

It was a polite rejection.

Vivian spun idly in her office chair. After a moment of thought, she pursed her lips. “Try to dig up Mr. Beck’s exact itinerary. I’ll figure out the rest.”

Vivian cut straight to the chase. “I need a favor.”

“What is it?”

“You know Charlie Beck from Insignia Group, right?”

“I do.”

“Set up a meeting with him for me.”

A two-second silence followed before the man asked gently, “Is there a potential partnership with their company?”

“Yeah, you could say that,” Vivian chuckled. “If we can close the deal.”

“Should I just put in a good word for you? Charlie and I are on decent terms. It’s just one

contract.”

“No, that would be taking a shortcut.”

”

Wasn’t this already a shortcut?

Vivian certainly didn’t think so. She was just utilizing her network to get a foot in the door. It was far from a free ride.

Of course, having the connections to take a shortcut was a skill in itself.

But accepting that kind of help meant owing a massive debt.

“Just get him to have dinner with me. I’ll handle the rest.” If she failed, it just meant she wasn’t capable enough.

Zachary Chase pondered for a moment. “Alright. Let me know if you need anything else.”

He worked incredibly fast.

That very afternoon, Vivian received word that Charlie was willing to meet.

Zoe was slightly apprehensive. “Isn’t it a bit too easy all of a sudden? Do you think there’s a
