Chapter 33

After eating, Alexis left. Scarlett went to Mornet Corporation, where she happened to meet Secretary Lawrence who had just signed a contract with Jared for her.

"Ms. Reed."

Scarlett nodded and took the contract. “Thank you. I’ll give you a raise.”

Scarlett was very generous. Secretary Lawrence had worked for her for five years. In the second year, Scarlett gave her some company options. In the third year, Secretary Lawrence’s basic salary was over one million dollars.

But no one would refuse an increase in salary.

Secretary Lawrence smiled with joy. "Thank you, Ms. Reed."

Scarlett smiled. "By the way, did the Sunrigal Corporation plan to buy the film and television copyright of "Dreamers" some time ago?"

"Yes, the Sunrigal Corporation bid 2.5 million. The Fieroor Corporation Copyright Department is drawing up the contract."

The Fieroor Corporation was a cultural company that Scarlett invested in three years ago. It had developed well in recent years. Then she added an additional investment of 5 million during the B round of financing and now she held 30% percent of the Fieroor Corporation's shares.

Though, as an investor, she had never participated in the company's daily decision-making, she was notified of such a big sale of IP copyright. And she had veto power.

Scarlett didn’t plan to veto the deal, but now she wanted to veto it.

The Sunrigal Corporation, one of the four current media giants, was one of the Smith family's companies. In recent years, it had invested in remakes of many popular series. It was an opportunity for the Fieroor Corporation to develop if it cooperated with the Sunrigal Corporation.

But Alexander was Raymond's friend. If she remembered correctly, Alexander had said she was a man-eating tree and cautioned Raymond to be careful.

"Secretary Lawrence, please tell the manager at the Fieroor Corporation that I don't want to sign the contract with the Sunrigal Corporation. I prefer the Slooworld Corporation."

Secretary Lawrence felt a little surprised. "Ms. Reed, could I know the reason?"

Scarlett raised her beautiful eyes and smiled brightly. "Nothing. It's just that I personally don't like the prince of the Sunrigal Corporation."

"Alexander?"

"Yes, it's him."

Looking at the smile on Scarlett's face, Lawrence wanted to ask if it was because of Raymond, but finally she didn’t ask.

Lawrence was one of the few people who knew that Scarlett and Raymond used to be husband and wife. When she knew that Scarlett and Raymond were divorced, she felt sorry for Scarlett.

However, within just a few months after her divorce, Scarlett invested in a new company.

The happiness of rich people was beyond Lawrence’s imagination and Scarlett was not like a person who couldn't let go of the past.

Secretary Lawrence smiled. "Okay, I see, Ms. Reed."

"Fine, I'll be back first."

With the contract in her hand, Scarlett turned around and walked into the elevator in high heels.

Secretary Lawrence watched the elevator door slowly close. She felt a little sorry for Scarlett after reading the hashtag. But now she only envied Scarlett.

‘It’s true that all the problems can be solved with money’

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Scarlett returned to the villa and checked the contract. Then she took the steak she bought yesterday from the refrigerator, thawed it, and cooked it to eat. After the meal, she opened a bottle of champagne and watched a classic French romantic movie on the sofa.

At the same time, Twitter was bombarded with news about Scarlett.

Mark and Juan sent similar posts almost at the same time. “Beg Boss Reed to be generous. Don't decrease our salary! ❤❤❤@Reed Cloud.”

Their photos with Scarlett were respectively attached.

Alexis also posted a tweet at the same time. “I have endured it for a long time. Now that you divorced, come back to manage the company quickly. I’m very tired. 😘@ Reed Cloud.”

The photo of Scarlett sitting in the conference room for a meeting was attached.

Ten minutes later, Michael posted a tweet. “Hello, new boss. @Reed Cloud”

The picture of Alexis, Scarlett and him walking at the airport that day was attached.

Coincidentally, Michael's twitter was verified as the actor of Crain Vision Entertainment Co. Ltd. from an unknown male model.
