After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire -
Chapter 363 Hannah’s Trap
Little Bunny returned to her dorm.
She was not herself. But she still needed to pretend nothing happened and back to her life.
The dorm was shared by 3 girls. Each of them has her own room. This was only for those with some reputation. Otherwise, they would only share a room with others, by settling down in bunk beds.
Her roommates, Caroline and Gabby, were all in the living room when Little Bunny came back. They were doing yoga, while one watching TV. At the sight of Little Bunny, the warmhearted Caroline asked, "Why didn't you come back to the dorm last night? I tried to call you, but you missed it."
She did not answer.
Gabby teased, "how could she answer your phone when she was busy to please her boss. I heard that her agent found her a small role in a play, then of course she must be a calling girl to pay for her coming role last night. So what the hell you were worried about?"
Little Bunny headed straight for her room without any explanation. Her room door was closed with a bang.
Gabby did not stop her teasing while looking at Little Bunny's room, "How come a bitch still care others' comments? If she did not sleep with the boss, how could she win the spokeswoman for Cooper Group, and kicked off the live stream promotion, leaving alone making a trending topic? Now a bitch pretend to be pure as a virgin. Are you kidding me?"
"Come on." Caroline stopped her, "Each of us has the same story. Before we made our reputation, we had to seize the opportunities by sexual deals, except those having powerful connections. You are not the exceptional, what gives you the strength to mock your ally?"
"I was not making fun of her story, but her denial to what she has done." Gabby said as she crawled up from her Yoga mat, "It's shameful for a bitch yelling for a chastity prize."
Lying on the bed, Little Bunny was overwhelmed by Gabby's satire, due to the poor sound-insulation performance of the wall.
True it was. None of them could escape the fate to trade their chances with their bodies unless they had powerful connections.
She attended a dining ball invited by the owner last night. Her agent implied her for times. But she did not agree and just pour down every glass of wine when she was pushed for a drink. Getting drunk was much better than sexual trading. However, she was drugged secretly by somebody. When she found it, she rushed her way out and caught a man to take her away. But it turned out...
Sexual trading must be a better option, if only she knew what happened later.
Then the ringing bell drew her attention. She just got it charged just now, for it was out of power last night.
As she received the call, she heard her agent howling, "What's up with you, Little Bunny? Where did you go last night?"
"I came back."
"Came back? Are you kidding me? How could you come back after you took the pills? Just tell me the truth. Who did you sleep with last night?”
Little Bunny did not reply this question.
"I think I made it clear enough to you when we signed on the contract that going out with a man is not permitted during the valid period as said on the contract. So tell me if you are falling in a secret love with someone?"
"No."
"No?"
"I am not telling lies."
"If not, where did you go last night?" Her agent became cranky.
Then she said, "I can take it for tonight. You can make an appointment now."
"No need any more!" The furious agent rejected, "I have received the call from the owner who informed me that they have another option. So your role has gone."
Little Bunny got emotional as hearing the news.
"No chance for anyone who goes against the company's decision." The agent threatened. Then he cut off the line.
Little Bunny put down her phone, lost in thought. Since for her turning down such invitations, her roles have been replaced time after time. Except the spokeswoman for Cooper Group, she had not caught any opportunity to show up in any film or TV program yet. She had lost her exposure for even a long time. Without exposure, no one was willing to cast a role for her. She became doubt for her choice of this career.
Half month later, Hannah started her presentation with the contract she had prepared for the South Bay New Town Project. The presentation went pretty smooth. Hannah did pay a great deal effort in preparing this creative planning. Except for those innovative ideas, she had shown in the planning what she had learned from the top international metropolises and improved her scheme in detail. After her presentation, the meeting room was overwhelmed with a storm of applause.
The presentation was so successful that it won the admiration of the audiences who was totally surprised by it.
Some ideas about the high technology was never heard before, but Hannah could make it clear by detailed explanation. So this was not the pie in the sky. The presentation was approved by nearly 100%. Until some one stood out with an objection. He suggested, "Thanks for a fabulous proposal, bold but practical. It can be top of my list of the schemes I have heard for so many years. I believe it is hard for the bureau to say no to us. But for such a perfect proposal, I should say our quote seems too low."
That made sense. Someone were persuaded and fluctuated.
The quote of 10 billions for construction cost seemed not fit for such a perfect planning. The planning sounded worth for more than 15 billion at least.
"I have made a thorough consideration for that." Hannah added, "If we have a different owner, I will agree that this quote is too low indeed. But do you ever have a second thought? We are searching for cooperation with the government. Construction of a new town was somehow a charity project. At the beginning, I did ever pursue for abundant financial benefit from this project. But what about afterwards? What we can earn from this project after it is done? Does the financial reward from this project really do good for Cooper? As I learned, a new leader has come to the bureau recently. This will be the first projec in charge by him. He must naturally want a good fight in this project. So why not we just give him a platform to develop his impact? If he can grow stronger under our help, he must repay us in the future. And besides, we can build up a healthy image in the public since we run a successful charity project. In conclusion, financial benefit shall not be our only pursuit in this project, but more sustainable ones."
Her remark was so earnest that won over the whole board. This time no one objected any more.
"Miguel, your daughter is amazing. I do admire for the big map in her vision! Your little girl is much visionary than us who has spent decades in the career. What a respectful youth!"
"Thank you. I'm flattered." Miguel said modestly. His eyes was filled with pride. Though he knew his daughter was smart enough, he was surprised too by her wisdom and ambition during the presentation. Hannah used to show least willingness to work in Cooper Group, but she made a great coup as she started her career here. She was a windfall for him.
"If there is no other comment, then let's put to the vote." Miguel said with confidence.
This time the board approved the proposal totally.
Miguel announced, "I would like to state here the project is officially kicked off now. Hannah, don't let us down."
"I won't," Hannah said honestly.
The meeting was over. Hannah went back to her office.
Rose followed and asked, "Ms Hannah, has the board passed the proposal? Do they think that our quote is unreasonably low?"
"No, they approved it," Hannah put it straight, "I will go for the bid next Monday, and ask Wayne to come with me."
