Chapter 264: Vision; Spokesperson

"Where is my sister?" Olsen walked into the conference room and found that only Ryan was left there. Her two sisters and Ivanka were nowhere to be seen.

"Close the door." Ryan took a sip of the iced black tea in the cup and said in a commanding tone.

"Why should I listen to you? Where did they go?" Olsen said angrily. She got angry for no reason when she saw Ryan, and her tsundere attribute was at its peak.

"Do you need help with them?" Ryan put down the peculiarly shaped metal cup with the Dior logo printed on it.

"Ashley said she has something important to talk to me about." Olsen frowned.

"Sit down and wait. By the way, close the door." Ryan reminded again.

"No, that won't work. The door is open. Even if you do something bad, I can escape at the first opportunity." Ao Mei continued to mutter, but she closed the door with her hands.

"If I really had any bad intentions, this door wouldn't be able to stop me," Ryan said with a smile.

"Yeah, but you're not interested in me either. You like girls with big breasts and long legs." Olsen muttered, deliberately sitting two seats away from Ryan.

"I remember your legs were not short, your thighs were chubby, and your buttocks were also very nice." Ryan fell into reminiscences. He and Olsen had spent a romantic night in her dormitory. This was not a compliment. Although Olsen's breasts were "only" 32D, their shape was slightly drooping, and they could be held directly from the bottom edge, and they felt first-class.

"Stop talking." Olsen stopped him immediately, looking somewhat embarrassed, and obviously thinking of that night.

Ryan looked at her carefully: "What have you been busy with during this period? I haven't had time to ask you yet."

"As the secretary of my two sisters, I'm busy all day long." Olsen said slowly. Ryan is actually half her boss now. In addition to Stray, her two sisters also have their own brand-related matters to deal with.

"How much salary do you get from Stray every month?" Ryan asked.

"About $10,000, sometimes even higher." Olsen seemed a little embarrassed when she said this.

Spend over $10,000? Just hire a thing like you? What a waste!

"Normally, this salary can hire two professional assistants who are more professional than you." Ryan narrowed his eyes.

"Then just fire me. It happens that I also want to take a break for a while." Olsen acted indifferent.

"And I had no idea about this salary. It's obviously not in compliance with the rules and regulations. How do we calculate this part of the loss?" Ryan tilted his head.

"Why are you so stingy? I took your money, but I also worked for you." Ao Mei screamed, looking very uncomfortable.

"My money doesn't come from the wind. Considering that your salary is not reasonable, I decided to... adjust your position and transfer you to the bad room in Orlando as my secretary." Ryan pondered.

"Don't even think about it! I won't go." Ao Mei shook her head like a hand-cranked bell.

"Then pay back the money."

"It's up to you. I don't have any money anyway!" Ao Mei crossed her arms angrily.

"If you don't have money, I can accept other payment methods." Ryan tapped the table with his fingers.

"Asshole! I'm going to find a wizard to put a curse on you! I'm going to make you unlucky for the rest of your life." Ao Mei shouted subconsciously.

It just so happens that I have a Taylor Swift around me, and two negatives equal a positive.

Before Ryan could reply, a series of images suddenly appeared before his eyes. In the images, Olsen was wearing a red robe, her pupils were a seductive red, and she was surrounded by a special red light. She was floating in the air, and her whole temperament was seductive and mysterious. She was obviously a witch.

The next second, a huge green monster appeared beside her. Behind her, an iron man with fire on his feet passed by quickly. A man in a blue tights held a shield and blocked the shells for her. Not far away, another woman in a black tights used a cool physical technique to kick down the robot in front of her...

"What's wrong with you?" When Olsen saw that Ryan suddenly fell silent, she looked up and found that Ryan was holding the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands. The veins on his hands were bulging, his whole body was tense, and his eyelids were trembling rapidly, as if he had entered a dream.

The abnormal condition frightened Olsen. She quickly stood up, came to Ryan and tried to push him, but Ryan did not respond.

"Don't scare me?" Olsen suddenly panicked. After hesitating for a few seconds, she took out her cell phone from the pocket behind her butt. Just as she was about to call the emergency number, a big hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"I'm fine, just... a little dizzy." Ryan felt as if he had ridden ten roller coasters in a row, and his whole body was spinning.

"You're not dying, are you?" Olsen leaned over and pulled open Ryan's eyelids, as if to confirm something. In fact, she had no medical knowledge at all.

"If you can't speak, shut up." Ryan sneered.

Olsen was wearing a loose T-shirt. When she leaned over, her neckline dropped, and Ryan could just see the cluster of flowers, which were squeezed by the bra and looked white and delicate.

The next second, Olsen saw her own madness in the reflection of Ryan's pupils, and immediately stepped back, covering her collar tightly.

"It's not like you haven't seen it before, why are you hiding it?" Ryan muttered, "Go get you a cup of hot water."

Olsen didn't bother to settle the score with Ryan and immediately went out to do it.

After about five minutes of rest, Ryan's dizziness disappeared for the most part, and the memories that had just surfaced became clearer.

These images are disorganized and unrelated, and there are too many characters in the pictures, even including black-and-white images of Olsen, which look like a soap sitcom from the 1950s and 1960s.

But from the viewing experience, it is obviously a Class A big production. Although Ryan did not know the role played by Olsen, he knew the other main characters. He went to the cinema with Taylor and Abigail to watch "Iron Man 1" (the chapter before it was released, I forgot which chapter it was).

Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk, Iron Man... Is this a superhero compilation movie?
Ryan recalled the news Taylor had provided to him during the previous meal, that Disney was considering acquiring Marvel Studios. From this perspective, with Disney's generous investment as a backing, it was not impossible to create a superhero movie universe.

"Do you know which female hero in Marvel wears a red robe? There's red light coming out of her body..." Ryan described to Olsen.

Ryan hasn't read many Marvel comics. When his peers were still reading comic books, the original owner was a loyal reader of Playboy and Penthouse, and he knew nothing about Marvel.

"I know...it's Black Widow!" Olsen gave the answer.

You are not as good as me.

Ryan thought about it... maybe there was someone who could answer this question.

He took out his cell phone and made a call: "Austin, how is your work on the crew? Do you have a girlfriend?! You're fine. I have some questions. Have you read Marvel comics? A loyal reader? That's great..."

Ryan began to question his brother-in-law in detail.

"Scarlet Witch? Wanda, the daughter of Magneto. I see. Then do you know what heroic organizations there are in Marvel? I know what the X-Men are... The Avengers? I know. And who is that guy who looks like a purple potato? Thanos, ok." Ryan put down the phone.

"Do you want to be a fake man?" Olsen asked puzzledly when she saw Ryan put down his phone. Ryan's current behavior was too abnormal.

"Elizabeth, you graduated from Tisch School of the Arts, right? You majored in acting." Ryan confirmed again.

"What do you want to do?"

Ryan sorted out all the known clues. Marvel Studios was ready to make a big move. Disney was very optimistic about this project and decided to acquire it. This big project was "Avengers", a superhero platter. Olsen will play the role of Wanda, the scarlet witch, and the villain of the movie is the purple potato spirit Thanos.

Because the memories that emerged all at once were too complex and confusing, Ryan did not realize for a moment that these numerous shots were not from the same movie, but from multiple movies. He also did not realize that so many movies were set up and interconnected with each other, forming a movie universe.

He also didn't realize that at that time, Marvel Studios had only released Iron Man 1, and Iron Man 2 was only in the process of filming and had not yet been completed. The earliest version of this "superhero compilation" in his mind would not be released to the audience for three years, and there were three Marvel movies in between.

With limited clues, Ryan made a decision.

"I will make you a top movie star! You will be involved in top productions, and right now, only I can do it!" Ryan smiled confidently.

"You must be crazy." Olsen was stunned for a moment. This statement is often heard from producers and directors who deceive actresses, and their main purpose is to get them to have sex.

"I'm not crazy, Marvel Studios is crazy!" Ryan said.

"Superhero" is a cool concept in the minds of Americans. Although it has been around for quite some time, it has been relatively unpopular in movies for a long time. Currently, the best-selling superhero series is Sony's Spider-Man trilogy.

If we break it down further, DC's two mainstays, Superman and Batman, are clearly better, especially Batman, who not only has had multiple movies released, but also won the annual box office championship in 08. However, this is more due to the directors and screenwriters, the Nolan brothers, rather than the Batman IP itself.

Marvel Studios' ambitions are obviously greater, and if they succeed... they will definitely refresh the upper limit of this subject matter.

From this perspective, Disney's vision is indeed sharp.

However, Marvel Studios is too expensive, requiring at least $30 billion. If it were one zero less, Ryan might still consider it.

"You'll know when the time comes. After the press conference, you and I will go back to Florida. Oh, by the way, I have to go to London, England after the press conference." Ryan said. He had to talk to Simon about Leona Lewis.

"I'm not going." Olsen is not one of those ignorant newbie actresses. How could she be fooled by Ryan's few words?

"I swear to God, I won't touch you, and I really need a trustworthy assistant." Ryan raised one hand and placed the other on his chest.

"In your eyes, God is just a tool for swearing." Olsen laughed out loud, she knew Ryan too well.

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"I don't want to talk to you anymore, my sister is back." Olsen got up to open the door. Didn't her sister go out with Ivanka? Ryan was puzzled.

When Olsen opened the door, she froze for a few seconds before she smiled and said, "Ms. Arnault."

Standing at the door was Delphine Arnault, the eldest daughter of Bernard Arnault, the future richest man in the world.

She was wearing a Western work suit, with a white base and a black casual suit jacket, and black trousers on the lower body. It looked very ordinary, but the suit jacket had an asymmetrical neckline design, and the gorgeous and uniquely designed diamond brooch on the chest revealed a sense of refinement in simplicity.

In terms of dressing, Delphine is definitely not inferior to any female star. Of course, no matter how famous a female star is, she is just an actress in front of the real rich and powerful. She can't sit at the table, and can only go to bed at most. The only flaw is that she is a little ugly. Delphine inherited her father's big forehead, which makes her facial features squeezed together, which looks uncoordinated, let alone beautiful.

In many public occasions, Delphine did not wear overly gorgeous and exquisite makeup, nor did she dress up deliberately. It can be said that she did not care, or even disdainfully. In her dictionary, beauty is not the only criterion for measuring a woman, and it cannot even be called a criterion.

Delphine nodded slightly as a greeting to Alyssa Chiara, then walked straight to the conference table and sat down. Apart from her, there was only one female staff member around her, who seemed to be the assistant in charge of Delphine's itinerary arrangements.

This was the first time Ryan met Delphine. Before that, they had only talked on the phone.

Below the neck, Ryan could give it eight or even nine points, but if the part above the neck is included, Ryan could only give it six points. But on second thought, at her level, beauty is really not that important.

"Is everything ready in terms of design?" Delphine said slowly.

"It's confirmed."

"Where's the model?"

Ryan nodded along.

"It seems that you have arranged everything properly." Delphine nodded, not so much affirming as calmly narrating. She had seen and used many people.

"But you are not satisfied, or you have new arrangements." Ryan smiled.

Olsen had sat next to Ryan without her knowing when. This time she sat next to him and after hearing what he said, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

A smile finally appeared on Delphine's lips: "How did you know that?"

"You are so busy. If it was just a simple inquiry, you wouldn't come here in person. There must be some action, and it's not an ordinary action. It's the kind that will make me bleed." Ryan analyzed casually.

Why didn't I think of that! Ao Mei at the side couldn't help but sigh, feeling that to face the real big shot, it had to be Ryan.

"Then I won't beat around the bush. Actually, I didn't come here for you." Delphine put her hands on the table.

"It's for Taylor."

Ryan laughed: "You want her to sing the song "Mean" at the press conference?"

This song is actually used to diss Delphine's brother Antoine. It was sung at the joint press conference. It is full of sarcasm and will also make the public recall what Antoine did in the past.

It's not a big deal, and doing so will only cause some impact on Antoine's reputation, but the other party's revenge is not something Ryan or Taylor can bear.

Ryan naturally wouldn't take the initiative to provoke such a big shot.

But Delphine wanted to use Taylor's knife to cut her brother's face twice.

"I have a friend who is going to her concert tomorrow night."

This friend is really her friend. Delphine is not interested in this kind of country girl songs, and as for Ryan's electronic music, in her mind, it is more like noise.

"She's going to Marseille to continue her tour later," Ryan said.

"I can call the local stadium and postpone the tour for two days," said Delphine.

"You can change someone else." Ryan spread his hands.

"It has to be her. Only if she sings in person can the effect be best." Delphine said coldly.

"This is good for you, Ryan. We can cooperate more than once. I have the final say in Dior now, and no one can interfere. Taylor's main market is in the United States. I believe she will agree to sacrifice her and fulfill myself. This is for your own good." Delphine continued.

After hearing this, Ao Mei also knew that Delphine was right. Ryan was already lost in thought.

You don't really want to agree to this, do you? Olsen glanced at Ryan.

The next second, Ryan slowly said, "This condition sounds good. It just requires Taylor to sing a song."

Yes, from the perspective of absolute returns, this is the better choice. On the one hand, Olsen acknowledged Ryan's decisiveness, but she also felt a special helplessness in her heart.

Ryan was able to rise quickly and come this far, so he must be a profit-oriented person? As for emotions, they are just unnecessary interference to him.

Olsen felt that her understanding of Ryan had deepened.

The next second, Ryan changed the subject: "But it's too boring to only care about immediate benefits in everything."

"Are you going to refuse?" Delphine looked at Ryan coldly.

"From the moment we confirmed the cooperation, I have already taken sides. How dare I disobey your orders?" Ryan shook his head. This was also something he had to consider. He couldn't afford to offend Antoine, but could he afford to offend Delphine?

Now that she's spoken, Taylor has to take the stage.

"But if Taylor really did that, I'm afraid Antoine wouldn't let her go easily, so I think you can agree to an extra condition of mine." Ryan looked at Delphine.

"What conditions?"

"Taylor has to be the face of Dior," Ryan said.

Dior, LV and a bunch of luxury brands belong to the LVMH Group. Even if Antoine and Delphine want to fight, they will definitely be wary of each other's business. Don't forget that their fathers have not retired yet and are watching them from above.

Tyling Taylor and Dio together naturally gives Taylor an extra layer of protection, and it also has many additional benefits for Taylor.

"She doesn't deserve it." Delphine rejected it immediately, speaking harshly.

"It's up to you whether he deserves it or not. I don't think there's a better outcome than this. What do you think?" Ryan said.

Delphine looked at her assistant and asked, "Which product line needs a spokesperson now?"

"Except for the makeup and perfume series, there is no practice of hiring separate spokespersons for other series. Currently, Han Chae Young is the makeup spokesperson for the Asian region, and Monica Bellucci is responsible for endorsing the Poison series of perfumes."

"Then let her be responsible for the cosmetics endorsement in the Americas." Delphine kept looking at Ryan while speaking.

"Thank you." Ryan raised the corner of his mouth.

A song in exchange for an endorsement contract, making a lot of money.

"Remember to wear more co-branded clothing." Delphine stood up and gave a final reminder.

"Glad to help." Ryan was very straightforward. Of course he would not refuse such a favor.

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief as Delphine left.

"You see, in front of the real big shots, we are just tools now, and we have no choice in many cases." Ryan smiled bitterly.

"But not only did you complete Delphine's request, you also helped Taylor get extra endorsements. No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss." Ol' Sister felt that Ryan's move was quite extreme.

I thought Ryan was going to agree, but I didn't expect him to refuse right away.

"What a joke! She's asking me to push Taylor straight into the fire, and I certainly won't agree." Ryan shook his head.

"If it were me, would you agree?" Ao Mei asked subconsciously.

"Then I'd be a million times reluctant to let her go." Ryan walked up to her, smeared honey on his lips, and hugged Aolmei directly.

"Let go, this is someone else's meeting room."

"Okay, I promise. I'll go back to Florida with you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What conditions?" Ryan pressed his cheek against hers.

"The salary remains the same." Olsen felt itchy, then laughed, and gently pinched Ryan's arm that was wrapped around her. Her pupils are deep in color and her eyes are round in shape. Coupled with the introverted temperament of her Nordic descent, she has a mysterious temperament. Otherwise, she would not have played Wanda. Her deep eyes can perfectly interpret the idiom "affectionate".

When she smiled, that introverted and complicated feeling disappeared. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. The upturned corners of her mouth looked naturally healing and coy. The mysterious witch was actually a sweet girl...
