389 No such thing as bad promotion (2/2)

It was the power of Ryn.

”In here, we have all flavours of the puddings, including the newly released coffee and caramel pudding,” he handed the basket to her.

”Does this mean that we are still collaborating?” Ryn asked as she accepted the basket. Even though she wanted to reach for the milk pudding immediately but she managed to control herself. She even looked at them calmly but the basket was safely in her left hand. She would scream if they dared pulling the basket from her.

”Yes. Yes. Of course. Would you like to look at the contract first before you sign it?” the man asked. He could not help from feeling relieved seeing how protective Ryn was with the basket. He knew it was a good idea when he told his assistant to prepare the basket. Compared to other artists or models, he knew in order to lure Ryn to sign the contract, they should use food. Of course, money was important but food played a role as well.

Ryn let her hand go of the basket reluctantly and pulled the contracts closer. She read the conditions carefully and was stunned to hear the amount of years she would bind herself with the brand. She looked at the payment she would receive and pursed her lips a bit. Was this how much Mei Li agreed when discussing with them earlier?

And Mei Li even added about the puddings she would receive monthly during the years in contract.

”Do you... find anything you don't like?” the man asked worriedly when he saw Ryn did not make any sound nor reaching for the pen. Had something not to Ryn's taste? Was it the payment?

”Hmm...?” Ryn lifted her head and looked at the man. She shook her head, smiling. There was nothing she was dissastified with. Without wasting another moment, Ryn took the pen offered and signed under her name in both copies. She handed both documents to him.

He quickly signed the documents as the representative of the company. And then, he handed one copy to Ryn for her to keepsafe. And then, he stood up and offered his hand.

”Thank you, Miss Catherine. Happy collaboration. My team will contact you for the details on the filming tomorrow.”

Ryn shook his hand with a smile never left her face. She exchanged a few more pleasentries with him. She smiled at the assistants and the woman who was still unsmiling. She excused herself and with the basket in her hand, left the meeting room.

”Sir, I still think it is a mistake to sign her,” the woman said bravely. She would not give up on trying to make everyone sees what she could see.

Why couldn't anyone see what she could see?

”You quiet. What do you know about marketing?”the man said and signalled everyone to leave. He clutched the contract carefully. He imagined with the news of Ryn's relationship with Jeremy Long so famous right now, people would also curious about her work and it would bring them to the pudding. And, instead of just checking the brand out of curiousity, they would drool and buy the puddings once they saw the advertisements.

That was why, in marketing, there is no such thing as a bad promotion.
