The waiter seemed a bit flustered upon hearing this. A million in advertising fees was a major project. "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go find our manager to speak with you." The waiter said, then hurried upstairs.
A moment later, the advertising company's manager came downstairs. Upon seeing Jiang Yi, he greeted him with even more enthusiasm than the previous waiter.
"Tell me about some of the advertisements your company has designed before!" Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, the manager launched into an explanation, his spittle flying. His eloquence was truly first-class. Jiang Yi pretended to listen very intently, but his mind was on his phone. There were no prompts on the phone, yet according to the software, the person was in this company. Jiang Yi guessed that the person was probably not in the lobby, which was why there were no prompts on his phone.
"Sir, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" the manager asked.
"No!" Jiang Yi replied. "I am very satisfied with the advertisements your company has designed." Relieved, the manager breathed a sigh of relief.
"How many employees does your company have?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Over fifty, all elites in the industry!" the manager said.
"Good!" Jiang Yi nodded. "We'll temporarily conclude our discussion on this collaboration. Gather all your employees for me to personally test their professional capabilities."
The manager was a little stunned. He didn't know what Jiang Yi intended to do. Despite his doubts, Jiang Yi was a big potential client. After hesitating for a moment, he had his secretary gather all the company's employees in the lobby.
Soon, all the employees of the advertising company were in the lobby. Jiang Yi glanced at his phone and found that there was now a prompt. Clearly, the mysterious person was among these employees. However, with over a hundred employees, he had no way to identify the mysterious person, as he had never seen them before. There was also a risk of alarming them.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yi came up with a plan. "My company needs an innovative advertisement. I want to select ten people from your staff to exclusively work on this advertisement for me!" Jiang Yi said.
The manager was stunned again. This was the first time someone had asked to personally select employees to design an advertisement. "Sir, this might be a bit difficult. I don't have any objections, but I'm afraid my employees might not agree!" the manager said helplessly.
"As long as you agree, that's all that matters!" Jiang Yi said to the manager, then his gaze fell upon the employees. "Everyone, I will select ten of you shortly to design an advertisement for me. If your designs satisfy me, I will give each of you a bonus of 300,000 yuan!"
Everyone was stunned. "What? You don't agree?" Jiang Yi asked intentionally.
"Of course, we agree!" the employees said. A bonus of 300,000 yuan was a substantial amount of money for them. It was equivalent to five or six years of their salary at the company. Only a fool would refuse.
The manager's brow furrowed slightly. He hadn't expected Jiang Yi to be so generous. "In that case, please line up one by one and come forward to introduce yourselves, primarily highlighting your strengths in advertising design. Each person will have only one minute!" Jiang Yi instructed.
With over a hundred employees, this process would take at least two hours. It was a slow method, but Jiang Yi couldn't think of any other way. "Begin!" Jiang Yi said. He then sat down on a nearby sofa.
The employees eagerly approached Jiang Yi to introduce themselves, none wanting to miss this opportunity. Jiang Yi observed the employees while watching his phone. Time passed, and after an hour, he still hadn't found the mysterious person, which made him feel a bit frustrated.
Suddenly, the location of the card on his phone slowly disappeared. As Jiang Yi was wondering about this, the manager walked over to him. "Just now, an employee said they had a family emergency and left early! That employee's professional ability is very poor. Even if you kept him here, you wouldn't select him!"
Jiang Yi's brow furrowed. That employee must have been the mysterious person. "How long has he been gone?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Just now!" the manager replied. Hearing this, Jiang Yi immediately stood up from the sofa and said to the manager, "We'll stop here for today. I'll be back tomorrow! I have something very important to attend to, so I'm leaving now!" Jiang Yi said, then chased after him.
The manager and the employees stood there, stunned. They still hadn't figured out what was going on. In reality, Jiang Yi wasn't here to discuss collaboration at all, but to find someone, and they had all been fooled by him.
At this moment, Jiang Yi had already reached the company entrance. He saw a man in a suit getting directly into a car and then driving towards the end of the street. Without hesitation, Jiang Yi immediately drove to pursue him. The man appeared to be in his thirties. Jiang Yi was certain that he was the mysterious person, but he was definitely not the big boss. The big boss's age was at least in his fifties; the age difference was too great. This man was likely the big boss's subordinate. If he could apprehend this man, he would have a chance to find the big boss.
To avoid being discovered by the man, Jiang Yi maintained a distance of about thirty meters. After following for a full hour, the man's car stopped in front of a villa. The man then opened the villa gate and drove inside. Seeing this, Jiang Yi's suspicions were further confirmed. This man owned a villa worth tens of millions, yet he worked at an advertising company, which was completely illogical. This guy definitely had a problem.
Jiang Yi scanned the surroundings, seeing no one nearby. He walked to the wall and then climbed over it into the villa's courtyard. Soon, Jiang Yi saw the man sitting in the lobby. The man was drinking expensive red wine, with a woman dressed in luxurious clothing and with a stunning figure beside him. Judging by their demeanor, they were a couple. Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh. This villa did indeed belong to this man.
Not wanting to waste any time, Jiang Yi walked directly into the lobby. The man was taken aback to see a stranger in his house. He then frowned and yelled at Jiang Yi, "Boy, who are you? How dare you trespass on my territory?"
