Jorge took the files that Mikayla handed to him, flipped through the contents, then looked up at Mikayla, asking, "What's this?"
"You can take a closer look at the contents, Mr. Salvatore," Mikayla stood by, explaining.
"Isn't this our company's endorser?" Jorge noticed the familiar face.
"Yes, it's Lauren." Mikayla confirmed to her father.
"Wasn't Lauren always portrayed as healthy, lively, and positive?" Jorge couldn't believe what he saw in the pictures, completely contrasting his impression.
"Back then, when selecting an endorser, I remember I took part in the voting. There were several hot stars to choose from, and they were all beautiful. This girl was youthful and energetic. At that time, a few top executives and the board of directors had differing opinions, but eventually, she got chosen." Jorge recalled.
"People change! Just like Huxley seemed well-behaved as a child, yet things turned out differently," Mikayla pursed her lips.
Jorge closed the documents, walked towards his desk and gestured for Mikayla to sit. "How do you want to handle this?" He asked.
"I want to replace Lauren with a new face," Mikayla asserted confidently.
Jorge pondered for a few minutes. "I recall Lauren still has two years left on her contract, right?" he said.
"Yes. Exactly," Mikayla replied.
Jorge answered, "Lauren certainly won't give up our high endorsement fee, and our relationship is mutually beneficial. After Salvatore Group cooperated with her, a large number of fans were brought in and finally became our customers. How do you plan to explain this to the board of directors? They focus much on immediate benefits."
Mikayla smiled confidently. "I've already figured that out before coming to you."
"Good! Then I'll inform the board to convene a meeting tomorrow. Make sure you're well-prepared," Jorge answered and handed back the documents to Mikayla.
Mikayla took them and said, "Thank you, Mr. Salvatore!"
"By the way, Mikayla, I plan to assign Huxley to the product department. Do you have any objections?" Jorge asked.
"I respect your decision," Mikayla said and stood up. "I'll head back to the department to prepare some materials."
She knew that the situation with Huxley would eventually be resolved one day. Until then, she hoped Huxley would stay put in the product department.
"Sure," Jorge replied.
Exiting Jorge's office, Mikayla headed straight back to her own marketing department.
Quinnlyn brought her lunch at noon. Maxius had gone to the factory. Although there wasn't much work left, she had to manage her time well, knowing that she had only a few months left.
In the afternoon, all department members, except Maxius, held a small meeting to discuss future sales and software for computer implants, analyzing, selecting, and brainstorming ideas.
In the conference room, everyone enthusiastically shared their thoughts, discussing their interests and hobbies.
Quinnlyn took notes. Next, they would wait for Taylor to present a report on users' preferred color of the appearance of the new computer and what technological breakthroughs they hoped to see. There were staff recording videos for future promotional purposes. Then after Maxius returned, Mikayla will further discuss the details with him before finalizing everything.
Although it seemed like just a small meeting, by the time it ended, it was nearly time to wrap up for the day.
Sorting out the documents and materials needed for tomorrow's board meeting, Quinnlyn made extra copies as backups.
Time really fled.
