Zhang Shihao just gave a slight smile. It wasn’t until he brought Zhou Wang to the end of the 19th floor, to the office directly opposite Zhang Shihao’s, that Zhou Wang realized how "naïve" he had been...
A space over a hundred square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows on one side; the layout was exactly like Zhang Shihao’s office, with full amenities including a work area, rest area, and reception area. Basic office supplies were already in place, just lacking computers and such.
What satisfied Zhou Wang the most was the decor. It was not old-fashioned; instead, it was trendy, much like the overall style of Wuyou Media, exuding a sense of design everywhere.
"Mr. Zhang, is this what you said was the only option?"
Zhou Wang looked helplessly at Zhang Shihao, who had a hint of a smile on his lips. "How is this not the executive office? If I’m not mistaken, this office is designed to the standards of a CEO’s office, right?"
"Hahaha, actually, there are several vacant executive offices, but only this one is worthy of your unique position as a supervisor, little brother. So, satisfied?"
Zhang Shihao laughed heartily, standing at the door with his hand outstretched to Zhou Wang. "Little brother, you can go in and feel it for yourself. If everything’s fine, we can set it up and I’ll notify the administration to get all the office supplies ready for you."
Zhou Wang didn’t continue to decline out of politeness, because he was indeed quite pleased... Who wouldn’t be?
After a round of exploring, Zhou Wang clicked his tongue in wonder. He had never worked a regular job, so how could he have imagined that a dignified office could have a hidden shower room and a rest area with a 1.8-meter single bed?
Actually, even for those who had worked regular jobs, it would be hard to imagine. After all, not everyone is a CEO.
But that bed, is it really just for naps?
A moment later, Zhou Wang, lost in thought, understood... It could also be used for working overnight!
Being an executive, one must dedicate oneself to the career, so working late and sleeping in the office seemed quite reasonable. No problem.
After finalizing the office, Zhang Shihao asked Zhou Wang if he needed an assistant and a secretary, but Zhou Wang declined.
Zhang Shihao only asked out of politeness. Naturally, Zhou Wang might not trust the people he appointed, so it was better for Zhou Wang to consider it himself.
Administration went with cleaning staff to tidy up Zhou Wang’s new office while the two returned to Zhang Shihao’s office. They had just sat down when Zhang Shihao’s secretary came to report on the tasks.
Perhaps to avoid suspicion, Zhang Shihao’s secretary wasn’t a woman but a smart and efficient young man.
"Mr. Zhang, the representative from Brioni has come to visit you again, and this time he brought their designer from Italy, Mr. Fabio. His exact words were... they have brought sincerity."
Before Zhang Shihao could speak, Zhou Wang had already raised his head in surprise.
"What... do you know him?"
Zhang Shihao was stunned.
"If this Brioni is the one selling men’s suits, then maybe I do."
Zhou Wang replied with a light smile.
Seeing that Zhou Wang had nothing more to say, Zhang Shihao didn’t press further. He just glanced at him and then continued to inquire with the secretary:
"They said they brought sincerity? What does Mr. Zheng think?"
"After contact, Mr. Zheng believes that if we cooperate, it would be a win-win choice, so..."
"Got it, take them to meeting room three. I’ll be there shortly."
After a moment’s pause, Zhang Shihao said.
After the secretary left, Zhang Shihao looked at Zhou Wang and smiled, "Want to go check it out together?"
Zhou Wang asked thoughtfully, "Are they here seeking cooperation?"
"That’s right, but the sponsors for Wuyou Night are already full, although there are indeed no apparel categories yet..."
Zhang Shihao briefly explained the background to Zhou Wang.
After a moment, Zhou Wang understood.
Given the influence of Wuyou Media now, they wouldn’t be short on sponsors for an annual event. Sponsors for Wuyou Night included companies like Meidi, You Suan Milk, Dongfeng Citroën, and E Bu E, with the title sponsor being the furniture brand Oupai.
A month ago, Brioni had proactively contacted Wuyou Media, which had originally delighted Zhang Shihao.
After all, though Brioni is niche, it’s a true luxury brand, generally providing for top-tier celebrities and foreign elites, standing out with its unique appeal.
However, the terms they proposed were unacceptable to Zhang Shihao.
"They not only demanded a display position just below the title sponsor and an independent showroom, but they also didn’t put up any money, just offering some formalwear for the red carpet. And on top of that, they specified three contracted artists with no less than twenty million followers to promote them for free."
Zhang Shihao said with a hint of mockery.
At this point, Zhou Wang could confirm that this Brioni was indeed the suit brand he had bypassed, and he also remembered Mr. Fabio... Wasn’t he the Brioni designer that Jiang Qingkui dealt with initially?
Tsk, what a coincidence.
"You must have rejected them before, right?"
"Of course, I’m not an idiot, who would agree to such outrageous terms?"
"So why are they here now?"
"They’re unwilling to give up, of course. I didn’t completely shut down the negotiation; I just handed it over to Mr. Zheng... Oh, Mr. Zheng is the event planner and one of our vice presidents, full name Zheng Shifeng."
