Grace Smith didn't expect Hermione Lowe to know about this matter so quickly.
"Yes." Grace nodded.
Hermione Lowe glanced at her, and there was a hint of thought in her eyes.
Seeing Hermione fall silent, Grace Smith asked tentatively, "Do you want me to get the sponsorship from him?"
Hermione Lowe immediately shook her head. "No, Grace, I don't mean that." She said.
Grace was slightly surprised.
Hermione then laughed and said with a sigh, "I understand the direction. Let alone Heinz Jones from the Jones Estate, even I myself won't invest in such a company, doing so will only affect the branding of one's company."
Grace was completely stunned. Her jaw dropped in awe. Then she said to Hermione, "You are so frank!"
Hermione laughed and said, "Grace, to be honest, we all understand this. Entertainment Daily is a small and unworthy newspaper company. Heinz Jones doesn't need any advertising in the Northern City, his company is already so profitable. Any sponsorship deal would only benefit us."
"I actually wasn't thinking of getting him to sponsor us. I was just thinking about one other thing."
"Please tell me." Grace Smith urged, she was now more welcoming of Hermione Lowe, after hearing her clarification.
"People in the office have been saying that you know Heinz Jones personally." Hermione Lowe said, then she glanced at Grace Smith, and there was a touch of suspicion in her eyes, but it did not seem malicious. Hermione Lowe asked gently, "I want to hear from you, are you actually close to him?"
Grace was grateful to Hermione for being so courteous and respectful.
She understood what Hermione meant, and she didn't want to embarrass herself.
Grace Smith then asked, "Do you think I should be close to Heinz Jones?"
"I don't know how close you are to him, but it is definitely not as what the rumors are." Hermione said, then she smiled and concluded, "You are not his lover."
Grace laughed and said, "Yes, I know Heinz Jones. It was from the time when I reported on him and the actress, Cindy White."
"If I want you to interview him and write a report about his success, can you do it?" Hermione looked at Grace and asked sincerely. "If you feel uneasy, it is fine for you to refuse."
Grace Smith thought for a moment and smiled. "No problem." She would agree.
She had thought about it. This was her job.
Since it was a job, it would be faced with all kinds of society.
Grace Smith couldn't reject it in her heart, and this was Hermione Lowe's trust and also the arrangement to get the company back on track.
She did not have malicious thoughts in her mind; she just felt that this was the right thing to do.
Hermione looked at Grace and smiled with appreciation. "Sorry, I thought you would refuse. It seems that I am the villain now."
Grace replied with a smile, "Since it's my job, there's nothing that I can't face."
"Then pen down Heinz Jones' journey to success to set an example for the youth in our city, instead of gossiping about his private matters. Unless he is willing to talk about it, don't ask him overly personal questions." Hermione instructed.
"Well noted," Grace Smith agreed.
"I'll give you three days," Hermione replied.
Grace had accepted the task.
At five o'clock in the evening.
When Heinz Jones was about to get off work, his phone rang.
He looked at the screen and it turned out to be "My Dear Grace Smith".
Heinz Jones' eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, but he still let the phone rang a few times before he picked up.
"Hello." His tone was calm.
Grace Smith heard his voice and said calmly, "Mr. Jones, it's Grace." "I know," Heinz Jones said grumpily. "Well, last time, I remembered that you told me that you won't be advertising with us. I fully understand." Grace Smith said.
