Chapter 464: Chapter 464
The next day marked the start of the second round of the election.
Julian Lancaster appeared again.
This time, he announced that the remaining candidates should demonstrate their leadership and business skills. Coincidentally, Elysian had just been established and was not very well-known in the circle, lacking influence and needing to find a company to cooperate with.
The content of the second round involved the remaining applicants negotiating a partnership with the well-known jewelry company Bertha. Whichever candidate could win Bertha’s favor and successfully negotiate a partnership would win the second round!
After Nina Sinclair returned to her seat, Millie Langley came over, "Director Sinclair, do you know Bertha?"
Even though Nina Sinclair had been away from the jewelry industry for a period of time, she was well aware of big brands like Bertha, a renowned brand in the design world with an extraordinary reputation.
A while ago, Nina had noticed Bertha’s announcement seeking collaborators and inviting companies to discuss partnerships.
She didn’t expect the content of Elysian’s election to be this.
After some contemplation, Nina said, "As far as I know, Mr. Ji, the founder of Bertha, isn’t an easy person to get along with. Although it involves cooperation negotiations, it won’t be an easy task."
Millie nodded, "That’s right. Due to Bertha’s reputation, Mr. Ji indeed has quite a temper. This challenge from the headquarters will likely screen out quite a few people."
Though aware that the election’s lead roles were not easy to achieve, this second round seemed overly challenging.
Millie felt this was a considerable challenge for Nina Sinclair.
Nina, however, was very optimistic. She slightly lifted the corners of her lips, smiling as she said, "We’ll have to wait until we’re on-site to see. Maybe we’ll be lucky."
Millie sighed, feeling somewhat melancholic, "I just asked around a bit. They said Bertha is entering Veridia, releasing cooperation announcements. Many companies are eager, with nearly ten companies eyeing Bertha so far. Although Elysian is backed by Zenith, we’re newcomers in the industry, so we might not be able to compete with those long-established companies."
Upon hearing this, Nina didn’t take it to heart. She smiled, "Opportunities always appear unexpectedly. I should remain optimistic."
Millie felt reassured by Nina’s words, slowly calming her anxious mood.
She realized she was unnecessarily worrying. They hadn’t even started, and she had already set herself up with an obstacle.
It seemed Nina had a better mindset.
That’s just how Nina was; she was never troubled by her surroundings. Until the very last second, who knew how things would turn out?
Thinking of this, Millie smiled and looked at Nina, cheerfully saying, "Director Sinclair, I forgot to congratulate you earlier for passing the first round!" Google seaʀᴄh No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
"Thank you." Nina slightly lifted the corners of her lips, saying, "It’s only just begun. It’s too early to congratulate me. Wait until I truly win, then it won’t be too late for congratulations."
Millie was full of confidence, "You will definitely win. I’ll be waiting to celebrate with you then!"
"Sure, if I win, I’ll treat you to a big meal."
Nina brought Millie to the building entrance.
After registering at the reception, they took the elevator upstairs under the receptionist’s guidance.
When they arrived at the floor, the elevator doors slowly opened.
Seeing the people inside, Nina couldn’t help but be surprised.
Yesterday Millie mentioned that many companies were eyeing Bertha, but she didn’t expect there would be so many people. These small clusters gathered together each seemed to be a company, numbering around twenty companies, more than they anticipated!
The competition is fierce... How can we continue? It seems there’s a tough battle ahead today.
Nina quickly spotted a familiar figure among the crowd.
What is she doing here?
