Chapter 82
Being well groomed and dressed up, the two of them went to the airport early to meet Ashley.
The woman wearing white T-shirt and short skirt waved at them and walked quickly through the crowd.
After hugging Fiona and Sheila, Ashley followed them to a car.
"I’m so anxious to see you this time. Actually I have something to ask."
Fiona took her hand and got straight to the point, "There's been so much going on with the Freeman family lately. It's just overwhelming. I really don't know what to do ..."
"You can tell me about it, and I will help you whenever I can." NôvelDrama.Org content.
Ashley had expected her to ask for something and nodded with a calm expression.
Fiona and Sheila looked at each other with a secret joy in their hearts.
Sheila told Ashley about the recent events of the Freeman family, highlighting how savage and shameless Lyra was.
"I never thought this woman would bully our family!" Ashley took a sip of tea, "I'll have someone investigate her now and see what the breakthrough is."
Fiona held her hands with a loving face, "I'm really bothering you. Melvin is not here and we both don't know how to deal with that evil person. If it isn't for you, we’ll only be bullied!"
"It's nothing, Fiona," Ashley smiled at her.
As the two talked, the car was already back at the Freeman Manor.
Ashley took the lead and went upstairs to the room Fiona had arranged for her in advance and began packing.
Over the years when she was abroad, she learned a lot of things across the business world, but also very clear about the unwritten rules of the industry.
The Freeman family's power was clear for all, and it wouldn't hurt her to help them this time.
"Miss, Lyra is currently working as an agency director at Angle Group. She is currently in charge of the reality television competition that the company is promoting."
A text message popped up.
Ashley's eyes rolled, and she got an idea. Immediately, she took a taxi to the shooting site.
On the way, she checked the information of all the contestants and picked a contestant who was not that famous.
Such a person who was ranked in the middle, was not easily noticed and eliminated, which was the best to be an informant.
Ashley asked the person out and sat down at a cafe across the street from the shooting site.
A girl in a simple outfit with a high ponytail walked towards her and asked in a straightforward manner, "Are you Ashley?" Why do you want to see me?"
"You don't need to know why."
Ashley pushed the pre-ordered coffee towards her hand, "All you need to do is listen to me. When it's done, I'll invest in the agency you're working for, so you'll have plenty of resources, enough to make you a hit."
"But what about the competition?"
The girl was somewhat moved by the offer she made, but was still upset, "If I agree to work with you, it means I lose the chance to become a group."
"Do you really think that with your current strength, you can get into a group?"
Ashley smiled elegantly, "According to my investigation, all the players in the adult group either have strong capital behind them or have a fan base, but you don't have an advantage. It's only a waste of time to spend time here. Working with me is the most suitable choice."
The girl hesitated, and her fingers twisted the corners of the tablecloth together.
Ashley was in no hurry to get her answer, and slowly and deliberately tasted the Iced American with mellow aroma.
"I promise you, but what do I have to do?" The girl made up her mind and slowly clenched her fist.
"It's simple. I'm sure you won't let me down ..."
She put an investment contract on the table, got up and left the cafe.
Angle Group Building.
Recently, Lyra had a lot of free time, so she used it to study real estate.
To help her, Garrett also went incognito and was hired as a creative director at the Angle Group.
"I have a new idea."
Garrett walked into her office and placed a file on her desk, "I think you can invest in a small project to test first."
"Tell me about it."
Lyra took the file and thumbed through it.
"The best way to get familiar with an industry quickly is to get involved in it first and gain a better understanding through practice. Investing in small projects that are not too risky and also allow you to gain experience is the best way to go in the short term."
Garrett sat down on a couch and waited for her answer.
"That does seem like a good idea, based on the situation." Lyra nodded and closed the file.
Garrett was about to tell her about the project he was looking at but the conversation took a sudden turn.
"However, it's not my style to pursue small projects and avoid risk. I, Lyra Lloyd, have to be fast and accurate in what I do."
The starbursts under her eyes stunned Garrett.
"There is a large film and television base in Frayton. It is being redeveloped. It will take about a month and a half. This is a good opportunity. Not only that, the film and TV base is good for Angle Group's development. Investing in this project kills two birds with one stone."
Garrett looked at her and was pleasantly surprised.
The idea was very sophisticated, and it not only had the drive and impetus, but also extraordinarily clear.
It seemed that he was overthinking.
The little girl he thought he was really grew up.
Garrett gazed approvingly, "Whatever you want to do, feel free to do it."
Lyra signed contracts with project parties to speed up the construction of film and TV base.
She ordered someone to compile a list of the Freeman group's investments in recent years and did research of the Freeman group's characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.
The Freeman group had almost a monopoly on real estate in Frayton, and it would not be easy to take it down in a short period of time.
After Lyra left work, she locked herself in her room and began studying that information.
"What if you're ill?" Keith knocked on her room door, "Come on down for dinner. Connie made braised pork today."
Lyra leaned back in her chair with exhaustion, "Know yourself and your enemy will win hundred battles. I must prepare for a rainy day and be well prepared before the first battle starts."
"You're right, but a commander can only win a battle if he's rested." Keith pushed the door open, squeezed her shoulder without a word, and led her to the table.
And he gave her more than two pieces of meat, "The reality show’s first phase has been broadcast. The rating is very high. Plan well and do the follow-up. Its attention and heat are definitely not bad."
Lyra slowed down her chewing and thought about it as she ate.
"Got it, I'll go to the shooting site tomorrow and give another instruction."
To increase the show's appeal, Lyra had the people in charge add a number of location shoots.
The second phase was chosen in a Lakeshore area on the outskirts of Frayton.
"In order to relax all of you, we have launched a special summer project to take you to the lakeshore area for a rowing race. So please pack what you want to bring with you and we will leave in the afternoon."
The selection manager assembled all the participants in the lobby of the dormitory building and informed them of this exciting event.
The girls all cheered and ran back to their dormitories to pack their stuff.
A petite figure, taking advantage of it, hid herself into a public bathroom and sent a message to Ashley.
