Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Throwing the cub to Zhenglian, and secretly entrusting the only reliable Batman to cure this little slicker, Vera took Mary straight to New York.

Pepper Potts was only free during lunch time at noon, and Mary made an appointment with her in a high-end restaurant. As the party who took the initiative to invite, Willa and Mary arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes earlier according to the usual etiquette.

Unexpectedly, Miss Pepper arrived at the restaurant earlier than Vera and the others despite being the invited party. Not only did she come early, but she also arranged the private rooms reserved by them in advance—this meticulous and thoughtful It's also dead.

"Probably...get used to it?"

Looking at Vera, Pepper frowned and smiled politely, "Miss Senna, are you satisfied with Mr. Stark's gift?"

As Tony Stark's chief secretary, not only can she endure the boss's extremely bad living habits and bad temper, even if it is such a private date, she also considers the interests of the Stark Group anytime and anywhere, calmly To Vera, the advertising guru, Amway's own boss.

Vera glanced at Pepper, glanced at her earrings, and said with a smile:

"Of course, you have a good eye."

Pepper: ...

The truth was exposed by the other party after a face-to-face meeting, and the secretary, who helped the boss choose jewelry for Vera, froze the smile on her face.

When Vera and Pepper met, in addition to thanking them before, the more important thing was to directly reject Stark Industries' invitation.

Since Pepper and Mary are good friends, Vera's tone is still very gentle, and the suggestions she gives are very practical:

"As far as Stark Industries' current clients are concerned, I personally don't recommend that you invest too much in advertising."

The main service target of Stark Industries is still the military, and the market share in civilian weapons is not large. In addition, several products released at the previous press conference are aimed at the military. Vera doesn't understand Stark Industries at all. What is the reason for hiring her in a hurry now.

However, it is also possible that he was deceived by the people in the marketing department.

It was also to avoid detours for Stark. After thinking about it, Vera lightly pointed out the problem that the marketing department of some large companies would blame advertising when their poor sales ability led to a decline in performance.

Hearing what Vera said, the polite smile on Pepper's face suddenly softened a bit, revealing a trace of sincerity.

If it were any other advertising agency, they wouldn't care about Stark Industries' current situation at all.As the one invited, it is very rare for Vera to give this kind of advice from the standpoint of Stark Industries.

Even so, from the standpoint of Stark Industries, Pepper was still unwilling to let go of an advertising master. She slowed down and explained:

"Miss Senna, in fact, Mr. Stark's original intention was not to refer to the product advertisement of our group, but the image advertisement..."

...serious nonsense.

Vera's patience is always just for a moment. Seeing that Pepper still did not give up, and was even a little naughty, her eyes immediately turned cold.

After Pei Bo finished speaking, her eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her mouth pursed, and she said lightly:

"Based on the current image of Stark Industries, image advertising is meaningless unless product transformation is required, or—"

The tone was drawn out, and her green eyes stared at Pepper without blinking. It wasn't until Miss Secretary's face became completely stiff that Vera showed a smile as strong as a devil:

"Stark Industries really wants to enter the civilian market. Is this what Mr. Stark means, or the meaning of the board of directors?"

Pei Bo, who was picked up by Vera twice and three times to figure out the company's future marketing strategy: "..."

During the entire dinner that followed, she never brought up this topic again.

When the dinner party was over and Vera left beforehand, Pepper held Mary down, with a sad expression on her face:

"...It's not easy for you either."

Pepper originally thought that Tony Stark was the worst boss in the world, but compared with Vera Senna... Ah, Tony is simply a harmless baby angel ==

Mary: "..."

Without a word, she took out an exquisite little gift box and handed it to Peibo:

"This is my boss's return gift to Mr. Stark—a gift she personally handpicked and chose. I hope Mr. Stark can accept her apology."

Pei Bo, expressionless: "Pick it yourself?"

Mary, unrequitedly: "...what do you think?"

——Yes, we (we) are the hand of our (our) boss, that’s right!

……

At 02:30 in the afternoon, the dinner here ended, and Vera drove to a quiet couple's cafe as if rushing to the market.

This cafe is located next to Madison Avenue and has a quiet environment, because most of the guests who come here are couples, and every booth in the cafe is wrapped by screens and plants, which greatly protects their privacy.

When Vera was still working at the head office in New York, she often invited people here to discuss business affairs (there is no love in the eyes of workaholics), because this place is very close to Sterling Cooper’s head office, so it is convenient for her to meet people and talk about business. Back to the company to work overtime ==

Arriving here ahead of time, Vera had just sat down for a short time, when the agreed bell rang at three o'clock, a deep and deep man's voice seemed to be counting the seconds, and appeared on time.

"Hello, is this Miss Vanessa?"

The voice said, "I'm Steve, Steve Rogers."

... what the hell? Is the ID actually a real name?

This thought flashed through Vera's mind. The moment the voice sounded, she immediately raised her head, and saw a man who didn't look like a serious illustrator at all.

Rather than being an illustrator, it is better to say that she is a model who should be placed on the front page of a fashion magazine.

The man who called himself Steve Rogers stood in front of Vera, with a rigid and straight posture, with his head held high and his hands hanging naturally on the outside of his thighs, showing a good demeanor.

He was wearing ordinary casual clothes, but relying on his perfect figure, he forcibly set off the cheap white shirt and jeans with a haute couture flavor.

To be honest, judging from this figure alone, this person is not inferior to Batman or Superman at all. As far as Vera is concerned, his figure has even surpassed Bruce Wayne - not to mention, he has a pair of Surprisingly good looking.

Of course, Bruce and Superman are both handsome and handsome, but both of them have black hair and blue eyes. When they are not smiling, they have an extremely serious demeanor, even a little gloomy.

But this Steve is different, he has almost exactly the same strong physique and majestic temperament as Batman Superman, but his facial features are very soft.

Light blond hair is brushed back neatly, exposing a straight and angular face, blue eyes are gentle and tolerant, clear and clear, which greatly slows down the inherent tough guy style on him .

From Vera's personal impression, Superman is "perfect", Bruce Wayne is "charming", and this Steve...is "reliable" and "attractive".

Vera really had to choose. Compared with the first two, she felt that Steve was the most in line with her aesthetics.

It is estimated that she is not the only one who has this idea, at least Vera saw the blond waiter at the bar looking at Steve several times in a row.

After Steve sat down and took out his manuscript to discuss with Vera, Vera's satisfaction with this person became even higher.

Firstly, it’s because the drawings in Steve’s hands are indeed impeccable. Whether it’s scene drawing or character design, each of his illustrations can be taken out as a masterpiece.

Secondly, it was also because Steve's words and deeds were exceptionally crisp and orderly.

“You don’t have any commercials on your website bio—did you not upload them, or never accept them?”

"I haven't accepted the business draft."

Steve replied frankly, "But before that, I consulted many expert illustrators and roughly outlined the entire charter. We can discuss the details."

As he said that, he took out a neat handwritten document, and it could be seen that it was concluded after careful research.

I didn’t feel uneasy just because I was receiving the manuscript for the first time, nor was I obedient because of Party A’s (Vera)’s too sharp questions, and I did my homework in advance if I didn’t have experience. Incomparable.

Vera took the document, read it carefully, and found that the other party had carefully marked all the key processes one by one, and made corresponding solutions for the links where Party A and Party B were likely to have conflicts, and there were even Alternate solution... micro-tick of the lips.

Just take this plan as an example, in terms of planning and planning, the Steve Rogers in front of him is so much better than that idiot Clark Kent.

After asking a few questions back and forth, looking at the drawing, and discussing the contract and price issues given by the other party, in the end, Vera, who basically confirmed that the other party is the future cooperative illustrator, said abruptly:

"So far, your sketches have been hand-painted and then scanned and uploaded. Is this a matter of your own habits, or are you not familiar with computer graphics?"

You must know that many traditional old-school illustrators are used to hand-painting. With the increasing convenience of computer painting, these illustrators will resist the advanced and convenient computer technology.

Vera didn't have any opinions on hand-drawing or computer graphics, but out of caution, she still asked.

Steve doesn't look like the old-fashioned old pedant, and it's unlikely that he will resist computer graphics, but looking at his cheap attire... Maybe it's because of the expensive equipment?

When Vera was secretly thinking about configuring the corresponding painting equipment for the other party first, this honest man who had been serious and rigid since the meeting, suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment.

He paused, touched his nose, and replied a little helplessly:

"...Unfortunately, I can't do computer graphics at all."

Vera, nonchalantly: "...Let's talk about the specific requirements for character design."

She took out her mobile phone: "What's your email address? I'll send you the electronic contract for the manuscript first."

Steve: "..."

Steve asked humbly, "Is it an e-mail?"

Vera: "..."

Taking back the foreword, this person is not very reliable!

She looked at Steve blankly, and after being speechless for a long time, she quietly asked:

"I'm assuming you weren't the Rocket Army or the Strategic Support Force before you retired?"

"..."

This time, Steve, who has always been very calm in front of Vera since the meeting, froze for a second, his fingers clenched into fists, and said hesitantly and slightly vigilantly:

"Miss Senna, did we know each other before?"

What's the matter with this girl?

How can you tell that he is a retired soldier just by meeting him?

"It's strange if you can't see it."

With your unique standing and sitting posture of a soldier, you can answer the questions decisively with "yes" and "no". Isn't it possible to guess questions about body posture and resume at a glance?

Vera gave the man a strange look, stood up first, and planned to go to the printing shop next door to print a paper contract.

The corner of Steve's mouth twitched, and he followed Vera out of the cafe in embarrassment.

By the time the two of them went to the printing shop to print out the contract and walked out, the sky had already darkened, which coincided with the normal off-duty time of everyone in the advertising company.

Vera held the contract and discussed with Steve in a low voice. When she came out, she happened to bump into a colleague who was working overtime in the head office.

Ignoring the other party's strong face like lightning, Vera nodded at the other party, said hello, and took Steve back to the cafe - the plane back to Washington took off in more than an hour, and she had to Hurry up and sign the contract with Steve.

However, what Vera didn't know was that when seeing Vera and an extremely handsome blond man walk into the couple's cafe at the same time, the former colleague who had been abused by Director Senna was stunned for several minutes.

Immediately afterwards, the former colleague couldn't hold back, and sent out an explosive gossip in the large group of Sterling Cooper:

[Anonymous]: "I just saw Director Cena and her boyfriend walk into that couple's cafe near the company! There are pictures and the truth! [Photo] [Photo] attached!"

[Anonymous]: "This man is so damn handsome! He is worthy of being Director Cena! @热工作的马里, Director Cena is in a relationship and you are secretly hiding it from us!"

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

It was the break time, and apart from the colleagues who were still working overtime, hundreds of people in the whole company exploded at the same time.

Mary, who was left in a mess by Vera: ? ? ?

Clark who was left with a cub by Vera:? ? ?
