After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 169

An Nuan used the maximum discount An's could offer to negotiate contracts with the three major brands.

It was truly a show of sincerity.

But she didn't expect to still be politely rejected in the end.

Meng Qiming was somewhat disheartened.

He had thought that after doing so much, it would make the brands hesitate at least, but he didn't expect that businessmen really valued profits too much. In the face of profits, feelings were truly worthless.

"Chairman An, what do we do now?" Meng Qiming asked worriedly.

It was after being rejected by the third company that the two of them sat in the car back to An's.

An Nuan looked out the window.

She thought she had been too naive about human nature.

She thought that since An's had helped these people before, they would at least give An's some face. But she didn't expect that reality would be so harsh.

As she looked at the streets outside, they were filled with publicity posters of Wen Shan endorsing the Xingyao Mall, and as soon as the posters came out, it caused a frenzy of sharing among Wen Shan's fans, swearing to go shop at the mall endorsed by Wen Shan. In a short time, it became wildly popular.

No wonder.

At this time going to negotiate contracts, of course the companies wouldn't give up this sweet deal with Xingyao for them.

An Nuan's silence made Meng Qiming even more demoralized.

The car became quiet.

An Nuan suddenly spoke up, "Isn't Celina having a fashion show this Saturday night?"

Meng Qiming was stunned for a moment.

An Nuan called Luo Si, "Secretary Luo, check if there is one?"

"Ok, I'll ask around right away."

Luo Si started making calls in all directions.

Finally she got the intel, "Chairman An, this Saturday night at 7pm, at the Qingcheng Stage, Celina will have their official fashion show for this season. Does Chairman An want to attend?"

"Did they invite An's?" An Nuan asked directly.

"Let me ask the PR department."

An Nuan nodded.

After finishing the call, Luo Si reported back, "Chairman An, they gave two invitations to the Chairman."

"Good." An Nuan acknowledged.

She directly called An Yanyuan, "Dad."

"Nuan Nuan, perfect timing, I have something to discuss with you, come to my office for a bit."

An Nuan thought for a moment, "Ok, I'll be there in about ten minutes."

"Ok."

After hanging up, An Nuan said plainly, "Don't look for other companies, negotiate directly with Celina."

"What?" Meng Qiming was shocked.

Celina was known as one of the top ten hardest luxury brands to get in the world. In other words, the mall that could get Celina was absolutely a top international mall. Guangming Mall was built to be high-end luxury but they didn't even think about actually getting Celina.

You had to know, currently in Qing City only one mall had Celina, although it was also an An's mall. But when they first got Celina, the conditions were so harsh it was insane. Later when An's built more malls, they invited Celina but were directly rejected. The reason being they would only open one physical store per city!

That was the temperament of high-end luxury brands, value through rarity.

So afterwards, no other mall tried to invite Celina anymore.

And now, An Nuan actually made this ambitious claim.

Meng Qiming really didn't want to dampen An Nuan's confidence.

After all, they were already miserable enough now.

He stammered, "Celina has rules, only one luxury store per city. To try to invite them will be...difficult."

It was clearly wishful thinking.

"Rules are meant to be broken." An Nuan didn't care at all, still filled with determination.

Meng Qiming was speechless.

But he understood An Nuan's personality.

Never give up until the Yellow River.

The car arrived at An's Group.

An Nuan went directly into An Yanyuan's office.

She sat across from An Yanyuan, "Dad, what's the matter?"

At the company, with others around, she would respectfully call him Chairman.

Privately, just the two of them, she was used to calling him normally.

"Have you run into any difficulties at work recently?" An Yanyuan asked, tone clearly gentle.

"Dad must have heard something?" An Nuan was very clear, since her dad took the initiative to find her, he must have encountered something.

An Yanyuan was afraid to hurt his daughter's confidence, so some words he didn't say.

"Did someone say something about Guangming Mall's leasing in front of you?"

An Yanyuan nodded, "Dad doesn't distrust you, just that there's been too much gossip recently. Of course I won't stop your development, I'm just asking if there's anything you need my help with? Don't try to tough everything out yourself, you just started at the company, no need to pressure yourself too much."

"I can resolve Guangming Mall's leasing. But right now I really can't plug people's mouths, I'll have to trouble Dad to hear it for now."

"It doesn't matter to me, I just don't want you to bear it alone."

"Don't worry, I'm mentally strong. I just need some time!" An Nuan stated plainly.

"Dad believes in you." Seeing his daughter so confident, An Yanyuan also relaxed a bit.

There had been too much gossip at the company recently.

Mostly saying An Nuan was abusing her status in the company, wasting resources on useless things. He didn't care, after all it was their family's money. If An Nuan wanted to use some then use some. He was afraid An Nuan's pride would be hurt, which is why he came to comfort her specially.

"I won't let you down." An Nuan said firmly.

An Yanyuan nodded. Suddenly remembering something, "Oh right, what did you come to me for?"

"Didn't Celina give you two invitations to their new product release?"

"I didn't pay much attention, what's up, you want them?"

"Yeah, I want to go see Celina's release in person."

"I'll have my secretary bring them to you later." An Yanyuan agreed readily. "Perfect chance to relax, don't pressure yourself too much. Buy whatever you like, Dad will cover you."

An Nuan smiled.

Her dad thought she was going to shop.

In fact.

She was going to negotiate a contract.

Of course she didn't plan on telling her dad for now.

Just to avoid worrying him.

She nodded.

At that moment she also felt moved.

She was just really grateful to have such a good father.

An Nuan left An Yanyuan's office.

She returned to her desk and told Luo Si, "Keep Saturday night open, accompany me to Celina's fashion show."

"Yes ma'am." Luo Si complied respectfully. Then was reminded to say, "Chairman An, I feel I should remind you, Tong Zhitong was previously Celina's top model."

An Nuan's brows furrowed slightly.

"From when Tong Zhitong entered the modeling world at 18, she was spotted by Celina's lead designer. Then she signed with Celina all the way until 23 when she left Celina and the modeling world to return to the family business. That is to say, Tong Zhitong and Celina have a deep relationship." Luo Si explained.
