CHRISTINA HANSON'S PROMOTION DIARY

Chapter 24: Meeting Jonathan for the second time

"Thank you, Chairman." Marcel was happy to learn that Helsinki's arrangement was reasonable because few people praised and appreciated her as much as Christina. Helsinki happily chatted with Marcel but forgot they were in a meeting: “Don't say that. I'm going back to New York next week, so Uncle and Aunt Fiona, Uncle Maikon and Uncle John will have a party for me. Remember, don't let that crazy b***h bother you. Have a nice day!"

A few people in Morverick company knew the Chairman of the Corporation for the first time, so they couldn't help but be surprised to see such a young man. Most people think Helsinki is about the age of General Manager John Morverick or Sales Manager Marcel. And yet he looked younger than Brandy. Before everyone could stop being curious, the projector screen was turned off, leaving two extremely tense-looking faces of John and Marcel. Brandy immediately thought that the close friendship of the two difficult older men would definitely be affected by this incident.

Brandy pretended to say hello to everyone and quickly disappeared. He didn't dare to stay here to get in the middle of John and Marcel's story. Brandy had just stepped out of the company gate when the voices of Fiona and Maikon pulled him back. Fiona looked at Brandy and reminded him a lot about the position of VP of Sales. She thinks he probably wouldn't have had difficulty getting to the Sales Manager position if his opponent hadn't been Christina Hanson. Maikon says that Christina is more than capable of kicking him out of the company if she tries.

After the words of Fiona and Maikon, his face suddenly hardened. Brandy bowed to both of them and then said goodbye. The two directors looked at each other and sighed. They thought he was still too cocky, but they never knew that Brandy and Christina lived in the same house.

Brandy drove back to the mansion. He didn't want to stay in the company, especially when his father was still there. His phone rang again, the number from his mother. Brandy turned off the phone. His face was as dark as a gray sky that gradually changed to a thunderstorm. Sometimes he couldn't understand why his mother had the patience and energy to bother him so much. She would always call him regardless of what he was doing, and every time he picked up, she would start cursing incessantly. All because Brandy refused to return home and do what she had arranged. His thoughts kept getting heavier when it came to the powerful woman he called his mother.

Brandy looked out over the roadside scene, the afternoon stretching the streets from top to bottom filled with pale gray lights like red dust covering the sky with silver dust. Red velvet carpets draped over every footstep of pedestrians, and sometimes a few cars tore across the roadway to enter the streets in the heart of the city.

Meanwhile, Christina went to General Manager Jonathan Kim's Jo Ki Company. Christina was received very warmly by Jonathan. He led her into the office to discuss the project between the two companies. Jonathan repeatedly smiled when he saw Christina.

“First of all, on behalf of Jo Ki company, I welcome you. Finally, we can officially cooperate and accompany each other. Christina, you know, our company highly appreciates your ability for this project.” General Manager Jonathan graciously welcomed Christina.

“I also hope to cooperate and accompany you and the company well. If possible, I don't know which items are still in the preparation stage so that I can solve difficulties with your departments." Christina talks calmly and in a very professional manner.

“Ah, I really like the way you work, Christina. There are currently a few topics that I am wondering about. As far as I know, there have been three previous companies that refused to accept this project of our company. I think you can deal with them as thoroughly as possible.” General Manager Jonathan Kim showed a satisfied smile, relieved of a burden. He discussed it with Christina as meticulously as possible. The subjects were quite troublesome, but she was not afraid. They were within her reach.

Christina smiled softly, trying to explain specifically and offer solutions that fit Jonathan Kim's wishes. He nodded to listen and then said: “I will ask Administration - Human Resources to transfer the file to you. So right this Monday, you will start working at our company. The Administration - Human Resources side will arrange the office for you.”

“Thank you and goodbye. See you next time." Christina reached out her hand, the two shook hands, and then she stood up and took her bag. When she walked out of the company, he could only look at her with regretful eyes. More than an hour passed, but Christina only focused on work. Jonathan did not dare to talk on the sidelines for fear of losing her professional image in her face. Jonathan's second meeting with Christina passed at work. She just left Jo Ki Company in good spirits because at least he wasn't upset with her after their first meeting.

Before starting work, Christina also sincerely apologized and told Jonathan why she left the previous date. He could only smile wryly, wave his hand, and reassure her.

December in New York was as cool as a delicious ice cream cone, and in that deep blue, both Brandy and Christina looked deeply into the sweltering New York sky. Christina eagerly walked home without forgetting to reread the memos on her phone. She could not forget her busy work in recent times. Christina had too much to handle and the number of project titles she held. She sighed, looking ahead.

A few people who appear to be tourists look at every corner of New York City through the lenses. The person holding the phone, the person holding the camera, and the whole group tried not to miss any moment of the bustling urban place. Christina also had a passion for photography, but she quickly put it aside to focus on her career.

When she first moved to Violet Villa, Christina remembers clearly, the guy next door to the villa often asked her permission to use the garden as a background for his photo sessions. After that, he also signed a contract to hire for each shoot, so Christina also had a fairly stable income with his studio. After a while, the neighbor left New York. She heard that he wanted to go to Europe to work with some fashion house. Christina sincerely congratulates him on his success, but she also regrets when her income is reduced.

During a few photoshoots, Christina was also allowed to test the camera by a neighbor. She loves landscape photography, but she dares not to invest too much money in this expensive hobby. She once calculated the total amount of money to spend, sometimes spending two or three months' salary on a camera, a lens, and she felt extremely bitter.

In the end, Christina Hanson chose the smartphone. She uses the iPhone because its convenience has somewhat appeased her cravings for photography. Christina often takes close-up photos of the flowers in the garden or the little things she sees. Today too, Christina entered the gate of Violet Villa.

Suddenly, Christina felt a chill on her head. Snow has fallen, and the season's first snow has finally arrived. Snowflakes fluttered to the ground, hanging on the bare branches of trees, and then suddenly stopped on the screen of Christina's phone. She happily rotated to welcome the first snow of the season this year. Another year, she did not forget to welcome it.

Christina Hanson glanced at her watch and then sped up her pace when she realized it was time to visit Agatha at the hospital. Christina entered the house, the space signaling that Brandy had not yet returned. She took advantage of the cleaning, bathing, and leaving as quickly as possible. She always tried to keep the villa as neat as possible so that Brandy wouldn't be bothered to stay here.

Christina Hanson had just come down the mansion's gate when Brandy Morverick also appeared. The two looked at each other in surprise. He asked her where she was going, and she said she had something to do with going to the hospital. Brandy Morverick heard that, smiled at Christina Hanson, and pulled her straight out: "Coincidentally, I was also passing by on my way. I can give you a ride.”

Although Christina Hanson was quite awkward, she had no choice but to follow him. Neighbors near the Violet Villa also added some pretty Korean movie-like romance to Brandy Morverick and Christina Hanson. Either way, in their eyes, the two are extremely well-matched.

As for Brandy Morverick and Christina Hanson, she was quite surprised to learn that he has an extremely majestic McLaren supercar. But she also remembered how he paid for the house, and she was no longer surprised. Christina silently blamed herself for not trying hard enough to achieve the financial freedom she wanted.
