132: Chapter 132 Fourth Sister is Mighty
Listening to Lin Xiao's inner voice, not only Fourth Sister, but even Lin Ran was stunned.
Lin Ran's mind instantly became a repository for a hundred thousand whys.
Nine-tuplets? Pig feed? What on earth was that?
Could it be pig feed in the literal sense?
Could humans even eat that stuff? Would one survive eating it?
Had Fourth Sister been eating this kind of thing all this time?
If you eat it for a long time, do you really turn into a pig...
Fortunately, Fourth Sister couldn't hear Lin Ran's inner voice, or she might have had the urge to kick her out of the car right then and there!
Even so, Fourth Sister's feelings weren't much better.
Thinking about how she had been eating pig feed all this time made her feel nauseous.
No wonder whenever she wanted to go to the Hospital to check why she was gaining weight so quickly, Assistant would comfort her, saying it was just stress-related weight gain.
She would even schedule her itinerary to be even fuller, leaving her no time to ponder her health issues.
But why would Assistant do such a malicious thing?
She didn't think she had ever treated her poorly!
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the agreed-upon location for the signing.
It was an overseas brand, and the person in charge of this signing meeting was also a blond, blue-eyed foreigner, a senior manager from the brand.
Since they had already communicated via email and video conferences, the atmosphere of this meeting was very harmonious.
But just as they sat down and were preparing to sign, Lin Xiao's inner voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait, you can't sign with this brand. Their senior leadership is not politically correct at all. Before long, they will be boycotted by the entire internet for insulting China!"
"At that time, even Fifth Sister, as the brand ambassador, will be chased and scolded by the entire internet, and might even have to pay a sky-high penalty for breach of contract!"
The expressions of Fourth Sister and Lin Ran changed slightly at the same time.
After her hand paused in mid-air, she slowly put the pen down.
As the boss of the company, Fourth Sister had strong adaptability.
She calmly picked up the contract, pretending to flip through it, and after a moment, she pointed to one of the breach of contract clauses and said indifferently, "I think the constraints in this clause seem somewhat unreasonable."
Lin Xiao leaned over to look.
He discovered that what Fourth Sister was pointing at was indeed the agreement regarding whether the brand ambassador could unilaterally terminate the contract if problems arose with the brand.
It seemed Fourth Sister was still very alert!
Lin Xiao silently gave Fourth Sister a thumbs up in his heart.
Little did he know, if it weren't for the reminder from his inner voice, Fourth Sister wouldn't have paid much attention to this clause.
After all, given their country's current influence and consumption level, almost no brand dared to provoke them openly.
Previously, some arrogant foreign brands, relying on their high international influence, had publicly made unfavorable remarks and offended China.
Their reputation and sales plummeted, falling from first-tier to eighteenth-tier, and some even declared bankruptcy entirely.
Therefore, in Fourth Sister's view, with these lessons, as long as the current brand was not stupid, they wouldn't do such a thing that was digging their own grave.
"Is there a problem with this clause?" The foreign manager frowned slightly, seemingly unhappy with Fourth Sister's questioning.
Fourth Sister simply laid her cards on the table, "I think this clause should be written in more detail. If the brand does something contrary to our country's political stance, we can unilaterally terminate the contract, and it will be counted as your breach!"
Unexpectedly, when the foreign manager heard this, he sneered, "Politics? You are talking about politics with a businessman?"
"I'm sorry, but for us, stance is indeed quite important." Fourth Sister had high professional standards, and a polite smile still hung on her face.
"Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!" The foreign manager's tone carried a threat, "We have already discussed this contract. If it needs to be changed, I'm afraid my leader will not agree, and then they might consider someone else."
Fourth Sister was waiting for exactly those words, so she followed up, "That's fine, you can consider someone else."
When the foreign manager heard this, his arrogance weakened a bit, "Boss Lin, tell me honestly, if it's a price issue, we can increase the endorsement fee by another five percent based on the contract."
This was shifting from coercion to bribery since the coercion didn't work.
Given Lin Ran's status in the entertainment industry, her endorsement fee had basically reached the ceiling.
They could actually increase it? It seemed they really needed Lin Ran's influence.
However, it wasn't a question of money at all right now.
Fourth Sister shook her head almost without hesitation, "We are satisfied with the price. The problem now is this clause. If you can modify it, we will continue to consider it."
"You are simply..." The foreign manager was instantly enraged.
He simply stopped speaking Chinese and used his own language, interspersed with a series of nasty words, to vent his anger.
As he cursed, he even launched a series of insults against China.
If Fourth Sister had initially just wanted to test the waters and fight for her side's interests, it now seemed that Lin Xiao's inner voice was likely true.
As a brand executive, if he could spout such wild words, then it really wouldn't be strange if incidents of insulting China happened in the future.
Since they had already torn off the mask of civility, Fourth Sister didn't hold back.
She slammed the contract hard on the table, stood up, pointed at the foreign manager, and began to retort.
This included Chinese, the other party's language, and a third-party language.
The degree of nastiness was no less than the other party's.
Since they could fire shots using political stances, she didn't mind using the same methods to stab right into their hearts.
In the whole world, when it comes to the art of cursing, if China dares to say it is second, no one dares to say they are first.
The art of the Chinese language is that one can choose to use profanity or not, include family members or not, and use history, culture, national customs, and other aspects to ridicule, satirize, or even humiliate the other person in an all-encompassing way.
Very quickly, the foreign manager was defeated.
He slumped in his chair, one hand clutching his chest, the other pointing at Fourth Sister, his face pale with anger, unable to say a word, as if he were on the verge of passing out.
"Awesome!"
"Fourth Sister is mighty!"
"Fourth Sister is so cool!"
In Fourth Sister's mind, Lin Xiao's cheering, filled with admiration, and his heartfelt jubilation constantly appeared.
After she finished speaking, Lin Xiao even thoughtfully handed her a glass of water.
After this verbal battle, Fourth Sister's image in Lin Xiao's heart became much taller.
Especially when it came to matters concerning the country's stance, it made his blood boil!
He felt that such a good and capable Fourth Sister shouldn't suffer that miserable ending, and he had to think of a way.
He needed to avoid exposing his system while getting Fourth Sister to go to the Hospital for a check-up and to recuperate in time.
What should he do? After much thought, Lin Xiao actually came up with a plan.
It was just that the other family members might have to suffer a little along with her...
