“It’s a producer from Ray-Trace Media, Leonard Keith.”
Magnus stood straight. He looked apprehensive while he was standing in front of Joseph’s desk.
“Recently, the short-term reality travel show launched by ST Hotel in cooperation with Ray-Trace Media has just broadcasted a trailer. It is already in the hot search list of Weibo, especially the group of Freddie and Stella. Fans love the interaction between male artists and children. Hence, Ray-Trace Media wants to sign Stella as a child star and cultivate her.”
“Is that so?” Joseph just slightly knitted his brows, unable to differentiate whether he was happy or angry about it.
“Yes, today Leonard came over to talk about the plan to launch a full program series based on this current show. He discussed it with the investment department, and I guess he wanted to poach Ms. Downey to their company because he saw her excellent working performance. After all, this show was initially her idea.”
When Joseph heard these words, he clenched his signature pen and looked up from the contract papers.
“She agreed to it?”
“About this… I’m not sure.”
Magnus’s tone was a bit apprehensive. Recently, the boss’s moods were all gloomy and unpredictable. It was difficult to predict his thoughts.
Joseph didn’t speak for a while, so Magnus reminded him cautiously, “Mr. Beckham, the meeting will start in a moment, and the representatives of several hotels have arrived.”
There were hotels under ST Group planning to do a chain of youth hostels to facilitate the product line of the group’s tourism company. Hence, representatives from all ST Hotels in Nanking City were gathered to a meeting to discuss the matter.
Hayden had also come for this matter.
Joseph put aside his pen and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”
Inside the meeting room was full of people and Hayden was sitting in the corner at the back as she was a junior.
“ST Group started out as a high-end hotel, so it didn’t dabble in the low-end product line. This time, we are planning to do a chain of youth hostels, so we need to do marketing research.”
After someone raised this opinion, Joseph, who had been silent all the time, opened his mouth, “Market research is indeed necessary, but the information from market research companies is not very reliable. Hence, I don’t think it’s necessary to entrust it to a consulting company this time, each hotel will choose a representative to go to the field to investigate in person.”
Hayden was busy writing her notes, so she was oblivious to the fact that Joseph had been looking at her.
“After the centenary celebration, Ms. Downey seems to be very free, how about you be responsible for this matter?”
Hayden was stunned when she heard this. She lifted her head up immediately and said, “Me? Go to the field and investigate in person?”
From Joseph serious look, she got an affirmative answer, “Is there no one else?”
She had to take care and fetch Stella back and forth from school every day. Hence, she couldn’t go on a business trip for long periods of time.
Joseph’s expression was very cold. He knew her difficulties, but he still asked intentionally, “Why? Are there any difficulties? Or you just don’t want to go?”
Since she came back from the Maldives, she had not treated Joseph in a polite way. She clearly knew that if she told him any reasons not to go, it would only offend him or become an excuse for him to mock her. Hence, she gritted her teeth and agreed, “Nothing, I can go.”
Joseph took a glance at her, as he saw her look of preoccupation, he actually regretted a little.
After the meeting, everyone stood up and left the room. Hayden was in a hurry to leave too, but she didn’t expect to run into Joseph’s housekeeper, who was holding Noah’s hand as she walked out of the room.
When he saw Hayden, Noah’s eyes lit up. He let go of the housekeeper’s hand and pounced on her. Hayden froze for a moment, then she hurriedly squatted down, “Noah, why didn’t you go to school today?”
Noah hugged her without saying anything, his silence was very heartbreaking.
The housekeeper, who was standing beside Noah, explained, “Little Noah has been a bit unwell for the past two days. He kept coughing, so young master let him rest at home. He is better today and didn’t want to stay at home anymore, so he made a fuss to come out.”
“Coughing?” Hayden subconsciously touched his forehead. Fortunately, he didn’t have a fever, “Do you feel sick?”
Noah shook his head, but he looked so aggrieved, as if he were about to cry.
