"Donāt look for him, why would I do that?" Jane Sampson shook her head, reached out to rub the head of the Great General, then leaned back in her chair, her back to the sun, and took out her mobile phone, preparing to play a couple of games.
When she took out her mobile phone, she noticed there were two missed calls, both from Rock Bell, so she didnāt bother with the game anymore and called Rock Bell back first.
"Sister Tin, Iām sorry, I just woke up, and I didnāt hear your phone call." As soon as Rock Bell answered, Jane Sampson quickly explained.
"Itās okay, itās not something urgent." Rock Bell didnāt mind at all, as she had already figured out Janeās character and guessed that the girl probably just woke up.
"Itās just that there are two things I need to discuss with you about business activities." Rock Bell said, "Crystal Element Group has invited you to participate in the opening ceremony and ribbon-cutting of one of their companyās commercial plazas and a one-year endorsement deal, with a seven-figure offer, and thereās still room to negotiate up. I think itās a good deal, but I still need to ask for your opinion."
"Crystal Element Group?" Jane Sampson paused when she heard Crystal Element Group, "Crystal Element Hotel?"
"Yes, but Crystal Element Group started branching into commercial real estate last year, and theyāre said to be doing quite well with several commercial plazas." Rock Bell explained, "Iāve done some preliminary checks on Crystal Element Group, and currently, there are no particularly negative messages about them. If youāre interested, I can do a more in-depth investigation."
Investigating these companies cost a considerable amount of money, so Rock Bell was waiting for Jane Sampsonās decision before deciding whether to spend the money.
Rock Bell knew that business activities and endorsements were quick money-makers, and aligning with a big group could also build momentum and reputation. However, for an artist to have a lasting career, endorsing products required serious consideration.
There were also plenty of cases recently where people faced liability issues because the products they endorsed encountered problems.
Just as Jane Sampson was about to open her mouth to say she needed to think about it, Old Master Black suddenly spoke up from nearby.
"Decline it." There was no room for discussion in his tone, almost as though he was issuing a command.
Jane Sampson looked over at Old Master Black with a slight shock, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said to Rock Bell, "Letās not take it. Sister Tin, please help me reject it."
Rock Bell raised an eyebrow; she had heard that voice over the phone.
Rock Bell was also aware that Jane had been staying at Black Residence in the past few days. The voice wasnāt James Blackās, so judging by the age of the voice, it probably belonged to Old Master Black.
Thus, without asking any further, Rock Bell simply said okay and then hung up the call.
After hearing the buzzing sound of the line disconnecting, Jane Sampson came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Old Master Black, who had suddenly turned cold for some reason, scratched her head, and then said to Old Master Black, "It seems like both Grandfather and James Black donāt like the people from Crystal Element Group, do they?"
When they were in King Town, James Black also immediately turned cold at the mention of Crystal Element Hotelās name.
He even directly told her not to associate with people from Crystal Element Hotel, saying that none of the people from Crystal Element were good.
"Did our house have a past feud with Crystal Element?" Jane Sampson tentatively asked.
"The feud is quite significant." Old Master Black answered coldly with a huff, "Anyway, you were bound to be told about this sooner or later."
Jane Sampson quickly put away her mobile phone, ready to listen attentively to Old Master Black as he explained the matter. She had long been curious about James Blackās strong aversion to Crystal Element.
