After hanging up the phone, Lu Nianzhi started to modify Rong Dai's schedule while Huo Shao Ting asked Zhang Assistant to contact the person in charge of TK's fashion shows in Huaxia this year.
The Huo Corporation had businesses in a wide range of industries, including the entertainment industry, so it had resources in this area.
Zhang Assistant was extremely efficient. Twenty minutes later, the general manager of TK Show called back.
Sitting in the boss's chair, Huo Shao Ting's expression was cold and aloof. His gaze was sharp, exuding an aura like an emperor's.
In a deep yet magnetic voice, he calmly told the other party, "This year, all of TK Show's expenses will be covered by Huo Corporation. We will also provide free advertising for TK for one year."
"With Huo Corporation's influence in the Asian region, I'm sure you understand the profits involved here."
The condition he offered was very tempting.
After all, Huo Corporation had expanded internationally. Their influence was not just limited to Asia, but also worldwide.
Even just one branch of the entertainment industry under the massive Huo Corporation exceeded professional leaders in the field.
Of course TK's general manager understood this very clearly.
He just couldn't comprehend why Huo Shao Ting would offer such conditions, so he asked in broken Chinese, "May I ask what Mr. Huo requires in return?"
Huo Shao Ting lightly tapped his slender fingers on the desk a few times: "Postpone the show by ten days to March 20th. This shouldn't affect things too much. As for subsequent promotions in Asia, Huo Corporation will do our best with advertising fees waived."
The TK general manager was very tempted.
Although TK had been the king of international trends, they had never broken into the Asian market.
Asia alone, just Huaxia, would bring tremendous profits.
Years ago, TK's head of marketing had underestimated Huaxia's potential and didn't expand into the market.
The results now were obvious. Brands that had partnered with TK had already entered the Asian market, especially focusing on Huaxia.
The revenue from Huaxia alone was tremendous.
If TK remained complacent in Europe and America, they would soon be kicked off the world stage.
Huaxia was too tolerant. Those brands that had already entered had made a fortune.
Although TK had a hundred years of history, who would turn down more money? Bury it?
"Mr. Huo, I will have to discuss this with upper management before making a decision."
He wanted to agree, but changing the date would require notifying all the models and arranging many troublesome matters in advance.
This was not a decision he could make alone.
As a CEO, Huo Shao Ting understood this reasoning: "Then I'll await your call. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."
After hanging up, the TK general manager urgently contacted upper management for a video conference.
Having stood by Huo Shao Ting's side, Zhang Assistant naturally understood what his boss had said and planned to do.
TK's expenses were high, and they'd have to provide free advertising for a year.
That would be a tremendous amount, especially when the company was facing intense internal divisions right now.
The president's actions would be very disadvantageous for him at this time.
"President, this matter..."
"Deduct all of TK's fees from my personal account. As for advertising costs, I have leased some of Huo Corporation's top advertising spots for TK."
Before Zhang Assistant could voice his concerns, Huo Shao Ting interrupted him.
He was well aware of the company's current situation, but he could not let his wife be wronged because of company matters.
He worked to earn money and provide his wife a comfortable life.
Why else would he earn money? Bury himself?
"Yes, President..."
Zhang Assistant swallowed nervously.
Having been an assistant for many years, he knew exactly how much would be spent on TK - at least 2 to 3 billion.
Top advertising spots of Huo Corporation for a whole year was incredibly expensive.
But he was gradually getting used to it.
When the president doted on his wife, there was no upper or lower limit. He just aimed to make her happy.
Besides, it wasn't as if the president lacked money.
2 to 3 billion was an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
But after so many years, even the president himself probably didn't know how much he had earned anymore. This was just pocket change to him.
The TK side quickly finished their meeting.
General Manager Ha Wei's complexion was rosy, unable to conceal his excitement. After having his assistant sort out the documents, he called Huo Shao Ting's office.
"Mr. Huo, we are delighted by your proposal. When would be convenient to sign the contract?"
Hearing this, Huo Shao Ting's lips curved up into an charming smile. "You can send someone from TK to my company to discuss the details."
"Wonderful, I will come in person, Mr. Huo."
Ha Wei was elated.
After hanging up, Huo Shao Ting told Zhang Assistant to prepare the contract.
Zhang Assistant sighed silently. All that just to postpone by ten days, costing 3 billion...
The president was the president, extravagance unparalleled!
In high spirits after the negotiations and signed contract with TK, Huo Shao Ting happily worked through the day.
He would get to see his beloved wife again soon.
After negotiations and signing the contract with Huo Corporation, it was already evening on TK's side.
Rong Dai was still shopping in Hangzhou.
Lu Nianzhi had prepared an excellent itinerary. Rong Dai had only planned to buy a few small gifts, but even just four stores took up an entire afternoon.
Reborn in this life, she had earned her first pot of gold, so she was very thoughtful in selecting gifts for the Huo family and herself.
She considered everyone, even Lu Nianzhi, Qiao Wanzhou, and Zhou Jing.
"I'm afraid this will take several luggage boxes to ship."
Lu Nianzhi awkwardly swallowed, the eternal truth that no woman could escape shopping.
Rong Dai felt a little embarrassed. "I got carried away. Let me go with you to handle the paperwork."
Lu Nianzhi nodded. Including Rong Dai and two other bodyguards, it took nearly an hour to complete all the procedures.
Sitting on the plane, gazing at the flashing lights of the airport, Rong Dai's longing grew stronger.
Before takeoff, she took out her phone and messaged Huo Shao Ting.
Seeing the video call time from two nights ago, she froze.
Nearly five full hours without hanging up. She had been busy filming these two days, her phone beside her but no time to check it.
Her heart quivered. Thinking of Huo Shao Ting's handsome features, she increasingly yearned to see him.
This man had poured all his tenderness onto her. How could she not be moved?
