As it turned out, his woman was indeed smart, and understood the most essential point immediately.
Zoe raised the cup and took a sip of the tea. Then she said lightly, “You should let your men to make this matter clear, and then I will help you handle the rest.”
Reminded by Zoe, Stephen also realized how weird the whole thing was. Immediately, he called his agent, and asked him to find out what happened.
Zoe waited until he finished the call, and then she added, “Then I should tell you about my plan. Tell me if you find anything wrong or you have anything to add.”
Stephen nodded, “Emm, go ahead.”
Then Zoe told them roughly about the plan she just made, and after hearing what she said, they all nodded in agreement.
Stephen was so happy as if he had just got his last chance.
After all it had been half a month, and he still could not find a viable way to solve the problem.
Only Zoe only had a rough idea, but for Stephen, it just sounded perfect.
The three of them walked out of the restaurant and said goodby to each other.
Zoe did not leave with Henry, since it had been late, and he needed to go to his company.
And she drove her own car here, so she didn’t need a ride. After they said goodbye, she just left herself driving her own car.
She didn’t drive back to the Han Mansion, however.
Instead, she drove back to her little apartment.
She had promised Henry to live with him, but she just had so many things here, and naturally she had to take them over.
She understood Henry was just being considerate, but she felt it more comfortable to use the items she had got used to.
After packing up, when she was about to leave with her suitcase, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a box in the corner of the couch.
It was a black box with delicate decorations wrapped in a coat of black velvet.
She paused for a while, turned back, and opened the box.
That was the birthday present she had bought for Shawn.
She had wanted to give it to him when it was his birthday. Unfortunately, even before that day, she had caught Steven and Annie in the bed.
Thinking about what had happened, she could not help but to let out a chuckle with a hint of self-mockery.
It was just a few days ago, and she was no longer sad but numb.
Heh, human! You just changed so easily.
She put the box back, but then thought better of it and put it into her suitcase along with her other belongings.
It cost her a fortune, no matter what!
Would it not be a waste if she just put the box here? She could at least sell it and take some money back.
Then Zoe”The Businesswoman” Gil pulled the suitcase and walked out happily.
When she got downstairs, she put the suitcase to her car and drove directly towards the HN Mansion.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she locked herself in the room and began to prepare a PR plan for Stephen.
She told him just a rough idea in the afternoon, since she had not known much about what had happened.
Now though, she was trying to add more details to her plan.
After she was done with it, she sent the plan to Stephen.
They had exchanged contact information with each other in the afternoon. After she sent the file to him, Stephen did not reply immediately. She guessed he was just busy so she also just left it behind her mind, put her phone aside and walked downstairs.
It was six in the evening already.
It was about time for Henry to come back.
There was the appetizing aroma from the kitchen already. Zoe stretched her body a bit and took a stroll outside the villa before she finally got back inside.
Then there was the sound of the engine from the outside.
She knew it was Henry. She walked to the door and saw him getting off the car.
He was wearing his white shirt, and in his arm was his suit. The tall and slender figure of him looked elegant and graceful as ever.
Mrs. Dottie, hearing the sound, also walked out from the kitchen, “Welcome home, Mr. Han.”
Henry nodded slightly, and landed his eyesight on Zoe, with a hint of warmth and pleasure in his eyes.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and led her into the villa.
“You always come out to wait for me. I will think you have fallen in love with me.”
The voice of the man was low yet powerful, and only Zoe could hear him.
While she tried not to, her delicate face flushed a bit and she pushed him away with her hands.
“Don’t you flatter yourself, you complacent man. I am here for a walk. It’s just a coincidence.”
“Yesterday it was the sunset, today you are here for a walk. What a fate we have here, Mrs. Han?”
Zoe could not say a word.
She knew she could never win him and she
just gave up debating with him altogether. Instead, she just walked into the dining hall.
And Henry just smiled and knew better than to continue.
After he finished the dinner, he walked into his study, as if he still got something to do.
Zoe did not want to disturb him.
After all, she also got business to deal with.
Among the three companies she had got from Henry Miller, two had been sold. The one she had kept for herself was an entertainment company called Star Entertainment.
The reason why she had kept this company was because she was a PR herself.
She had wanted to establish a company of her own, but it would be too complicated if she would need to start everything from scratch suddenly. Now that she was given such a chance, she would naturally take it.
She hadn’t been to the company so far, she had just heard of and had a rough idea of this company.
When they signed the takeover contract, Henry had also given her the documents of the company.
After she had read these files carefully, she found the situation much worse than she had thought.
It made sense though. If it wasn’t in a desperately bad situation, who would ever sell the company.
Star Entertainment had a history of almost forty years. Decades ago, it was still quite famous as an entertainment company in the country.
There was a time when Star Entertainment became the leader of the entire industry. A lot of
stars and dozens of unprecedentedly influential works had come from the company.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Normally speaking, such an old company should not have ended up like this.
But actually, when their best PR at that time, Julia, left the company to work as an agent and brought many of the most popular stars with her, the company had begun to fail.
Julia had taken away three groups of artists from Star Entertainment, and Star Entertainment had put most of its resources on these artists. Their leaving with Julia no doubt had drained all the blood of the company.
The reason why these artists had been willing to follow Julia and leave the company was because their contract between them and the company had been very harsh, and the company did not pay them very well.
That’s why they would rather pay a large amount of money for contract breach than continue the suffering in the company.
While Star Entertainment almost doubled its revenue for this reason, without these artists, the company was simply a walking dead, falling gradually.
After all of the changes in the industry and the rising of similar companies, Star Entertainment just shrank further and further.
Today, the once glorious entertainment empire of its time had been reduced to less than ten artists, and even these artists were just some small-time actors and actresses nobody knew.
In terms of the resources they had, it was even worse.
For the past year, they could not even earn a single profitable contract for the artists in the company.
