I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 616: A Big Gimmick

"Irene Spencer has had too much negative press recently, and her image and influence have taken quite a hit. I think she’s no longer suitable for Ashton." Kris Cooper glanced around the room and lazily took his seat before continuing, "What does everyone think about choosing a new spokesperson?"

As his words faded, the room filled with contemplative silence or quiet whispers between colleagues. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Vera Wave twirled a pen in her right hand, pursing her lips thoughtfully.

Kris Cooper had previously discussed the possibility of a new spokesperson with her, so she had been considering the idea these past few days.

In terms of public attention, she had already far surpassed Irene Spencer. Objectively speaking, choosing her would indeed be advantageous for Ashton Company.

Using the CEO’s wife as the spokesperson would definitely be a huge draw. Once this news is released, both Ashton and I would receive even greater public attention. But am I really suitable for this role? I’m still not sure about that.

"May I say something?" The finance department director was the first to speak up. "In fact, I’ve been considering the spokesperson situation for a while. For the past two years, our expenditures in this area have been quite substantial. I’m skeptical whether these expenses have yielded a sufficient return. This time, if we choose another spokesperson, we must be even more cautious. The key is to select someone who is the most cost-effective and best fits our company’s image."

The finance director was naturally most concerned about the financial aspect. A spokesperson was an investment, and if it didn’t yield a significant return, he considered it simply not worth it.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, this was a real estate company, not a celebrity agency. Profits were what mattered most in the end.

"So, my suggestion is that we opt for promising newcomers," the finance director continued. "Firstly, this can reduce expenses. Secondly, it’s easier to manage risks. To achieve a win-win situation with us, they would also be more careful with their own image and wouldn’t do anything to damage their own reputation."

"However," the Marketing Department Director interjected, "it’s undeniable that newcomers are cheaper. But if their standing is too low, how can they be worthy of the Ashton name? After all, we’re looking for a spokesperson. If their reputation isn’t enough to match Ashton, wouldn’t that lower our company’s standing?"

Both parties had valid points, and for a moment, no one had any better suggestions.

At this time, Kate Palmer sat up straight.

"You both have very valid points," she said. "Therefore, I’d like to recommend someone to you all who perfectly meets both your requirements."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Kate Palmer, eager to know who this person could be—someone who could both save costs and be worthy of Ashton’s image.

"The person I’m referring to is right here in this office." Kate Palmer placed her hand on the shoulder of Vera Wave, who was beside her. "It’s Vera Wave."

Vera Wave looked up in surprise.

"Me?!"

All eyes immediately fell on her.

"That’s right, it’s you!" Kate Palmer stood up from her chair, scanned the room, and then spoke seriously. "Last night, I checked the Google search rankings. For the past few days, Vera Wave’s ranking has consistently been in the top three, and yesterday she even reached the number one spot. Her current level of public attention far surpasses Irene Spencer’s. As everyone knows, Vera Wave is Mr. Cooper’s wife, and she has a very wholesome image. She understands Ashton’s culture better than any celebrity and doesn’t have as many commitments or other advertisements as other stars. Apart from her main job, she can fully dedicate herself to the role of spokesperson. As for the cost..."
