Chapter 169 Disappointments, Rejections
Hannah got the best preferential deal Cooper Group could offer to talk to those three brands over
moving into Light Building.
There was a great deal of seriousness.
But they all turned her down.
Mann got discouraged.
He thought those brands would at least think about it after all they have done. But to them,
businessmen, interests and gains were all that mattered. The acquaintance was cheap in their eyes.
"Ms Hannah, what about now?" Mann asked worriedly.
After getting turned down by the third potential investor, they got in the car back to the office.
Hannah looked out the car window.
She still saw the best in people.
She thought they would at least give her a chance since Cooper Group had helped them. But, life is
cruel.
She looked at the blocks outside, with buildings full of Win's advertising posts on it for Starlight Group's
business circle. Her posts flooded her fan groups with words that they would go to the mall that she
endorsed. Suddenly, it had become a great hit.
It made sense.
Why would those brands choose Cooper Group over Starlight Group which was more popular now?
Hannah's promise now made Mann less encouraging.
It was very quiet in the car.
Hannah said suddenly, "Does Celina have a fashion show this Saturday night?"
Mann was dumbfounded.
Hannah said to Rose, "Rose, go check it."
"Okay."
Rose started to make phone calls.
She finally got the answer, "Ms Hannah, there's a Celina fashion show of this season at Kensbury
Glass House 7:00 pm this Saturday. You wanna go?"
"Did we get invited?" Hannah said.
"I'll ask the public relations department."
Hannah nodded.
Rose had made a phone call, "Ms Hannah, we got two invitations to the President."
"Okay," Hannah said.
She then called Miguel, "Dad."
"Hannah, I need to talk to you, meet me in my office."
Hannah thought for a little while, "Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes."
"See you then."
After hanging up, Hannah said, "No more other brands, we'll go for Celina."
"What?" Mann was shocked.
Celina was one of the ten biggest names worldwide. Any mall with Celina in it could definitely get on
the top list in the world. Light Building was designed for high-end luxury brands but they never thought
about having Celina in.
There was only one mall with Celina in Kensbury City. This mall was owned by Cooper Group but with
onerous terms then. Cooper Group had invited Celina over and over for their newly-built business
circles but it all failed for the same reason that Celina only did one physical presence in one city.
Typical high-end luxury brands, rare could make it valuable.
So no other business circles ever invited Celina again since then.
But Hannah dreamed this big right now.
Mann really hated to deal a blow to her confidence.
After all, they had been through so much terribly.
He said tentatively, "Celina has a rule, only one shop in one city. I suppose, it might be hard to get them
in."
It was like a mission impossible.
"Rules are meant to be changed," Hannah said with a steady voice, firmly.
Mann was choked by her words.
But he still didn't think it was going to work.
He just knew how Hannah was, how she would try every means no matter what.
They arrived at Cooper Group.
Hannah walked into Miguel's office.
Then she sat down opposite her father, "Dad, you wanna talk to me?"
She would normally call him Mr President if there were someone else in the office.
But privately, she would call him dad.
"You need anything these days? About work?" Miguel asked nicely.
"Dad, have you heard anything?" Hannah knew there must have been something now that her dad had
said this.
Miguel withheld some of his words as he was afraid that it might hurt her feelings.
"Did someone tell you about the investment of Light Building?"
Miguel nodded and said, "It's not that I don't trust you. Just, a lot of gossips is out there. Sure I won't
stand in your way. I just wanna ask you if you need anything from me. Don't push yourself too hard.
You are new to Cooper Group."
"About Light Building, I can fix this. But I do have no ways to shut their mouths. Sorry, dad."
"That's okay. I'm worried about you."
"I'm fine. I just need more time." Hannah said.
"I have faith in you, girl." Miguel felt reassured seeing the confidence in her.
People in Cooper Group had been gossiping these days. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Word had it that Hannah was wasting time and money to do whatever she wanted just because she
had a powerful father who owned this company. Miguel was fine with it. After all, they were family. He
was just trying to comfort her as he was worried that Hannah would get upset with her self-respect.
"I won't let you down," Hannah said, looking determined.
Miguel nodded, suddenly he remembered something, "By the way, what were you calling me for?"
"Did you get two invitations from Celina?"
"I guess so. What? You want it?"
"Yep. I wanna watch their fashion show."
"I'll let my secretary bring it to you later." Miguel said, "That's right. Go have some fun! Try to be a little
easier on yourself. Just buy what you want, I'll pay!"
Hannah smiled.
Her dad thought she was going to have fun.
But in fact, she was there to do business.
Certainly, she wouldn't tell him that.
Or he would be worried again.
She nodded and got moved.
Hannah felt so lucky that she had the greatest dad one could ever long for.
She then left his office.
Back to her seat in her own office, "Move things around. Make time on Saturday night for Celina's
fashion show with me."
"Okay," Rose replied. And she also reminded Hannah, "Ms Hannah, I thought you should know that
Janet was once Celina's lead model."
There was a frown on Hannah's face.
"The lead designer has discovered Janet since she was eighteen, new to modeling. And Janet had
been working for Celina until she quit modeling at twenty-three when she had to take over the family
business." Rose continued to explain, "Well, which means, they are quite close."
