207 Forging Partnership (1/2)
Everything went smoothly well for Wang Reiji and the rest of the crew during the shooting of the burn scene. Thanks to the new director for he was easy to work with. He had a sense of professionalism and considerate with others. Also, they did not burn the entire set down. The new director said that it was unnecessary and CGI will be used in the advertisement instead.
After the commercial shoot, the marketing department of Oriental Europa prepared a victory and farewell party for everyone. However, Wang Reiji hurriedly excused herself from the rest of the group and left.
Knowing that the CEO of Oriental Europa had probably some more important things to take care of, the marketing manager did not dare stop his boss as he politely offered to escort her to the parking lot where Rentao was waiting for her. The manager waited for Wang Reiji to get inside the car before he returned to the party.
”As usual that was a job well done, Rentao. If you acted sooner than that I would probably deal with the director myself.” Wang Reiji said as she slammed her back against the comfortable leather cover of the passenger seat.
”You don't have to worry about getting your hands dirty, boss.” Rentao calmly answered as he ignited the car's engine and drove away.
Shifting her gaze to the view outside the car window, Wang Reiji asked. ”How's the preparation for the masquerade ball? Are we really good to go?”
”Almost, boss. It is just that HPA did not agree to our terms and conditions.” Rentao answered swiftly. ”I did not waste time anymore and decided to fly ten teams from the west to provide security for the event.” Rentao added.
”Hmmm... Who rejected our offer? Was it the owner himself?”
”The owner just got back from a business trip and is still on a vacation. His niece, who is in charge at the moment, did not approve the deal.” Rentao paused for a while as the car entered a tunnel.
”The niece? You mean Huang Xur?” Wang Reiji's right eyebrow rose a notch. Did that Liu Lingli find out about her new identity? Hence, the refusal to deal? Well, not impossible, that vile woman's uncle seemed highly capable and very much influential.
”Tell me, Rentao. Am I still safe with my new identity? Should we do something about it?”
”Don't worry, Boss. I was extra careful this time. I made sure to erase everything that might link Oriental Europa to you or to Young Master Yuvin. Also, majority of the people think that Oriental Europa's owner is a guy.”
”I will trust you on that, Rentao. Zhang Chenric is already a pain in the ass. I don't want to deal with more problematic people. Not until Yuvin and I found out who should be held accountable for the fire incident five years ago.” Wang Reiji's countenance darkened upon her mention of the past.
”I deeply apologize for that mistake with Prosecutor Zhang Chenric. It will not happen again in the future.” Rentao's voice sounded very much sorry.
”Thank you, Rentao. And sorry for making you do so much for us.”
”This is nothing compared to what the Wang family had done for me and family. Besides, I promise Master Wang to help you in every way I can.”
”I am greatly touched, Rentao.”
Rentao was about to reply. However, looking through the rear view mirror, he saw that his boss was already had her eyes closed and was fast asleep. Rentao then fixed his eyes on the road, his hands stroking the car's steering wheel.
