Chapter 209 It was almost the end of the year now. Joanna needed a sum of money for the employees* salaries.
Moreover, she was about to compete with the Everett family for custody of the children. A good lawyer would require a lot of money, too.
Therefore, she urgently needed money now! They traveled in a car.
Along the way, Joanna kept coughing.
Cora quickly handed her a bottle of water. “Miss Haynes, can you handle this? You look terrible!” Joanna took the water and took two sips weakly. “I'm fine. I'll be better after resting.” After saying that, Joanna leaned against the back seat and shut her eyes to rest.
She took four antipyretic pills just now, and the effects of the medicine were kicking in. She felt weak and sleepy now.
Her heart was beating fast, and her right eyelid was twitching non-stop. She had an ominous feeling that something bad was about to happen! Nonetheless, she had been down on her luck recently that she no longer had the energy to worry about it.

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Joanna and the others finally arrived at Greene Town.
Since it was Brother Trumpet who initiated that meet-up, the group was able to meet up with him smoothly and with no obstacles.
The meet-up was held at a café.
Brother Trumpet was wearing casual clothes, and he was still wearing the cap from the last time.
“Hello, sorry to keep you waiting!” Joanna greeted Brother Trumpet politely when she arrived at the meeting place, “Hello!” Brother Trumpet extended his right hand to shake hers.
“Please take a seat!” “Alright!” Joanna sat down on the opposite end of the coffee table.
Cora, Michael, and the others waited outside the private room.
Only Brother Trumpet, Joanna, and the waiter were in the room.
“What do you want to drink?” “I will have a mocha.” Brother Trumpet was a little taken aback by Joanna’s choice. Mocha was a sweetened drink with a strong taste, while Joanna seemed to be a health-conscious person who would prefer black coffee! “A mocha!” “Alright, please wait a moment!” The waiter replied and left the private room.
Brother Trumpet looked up at Joanna again.
She was wearing a white Burberry suit and carrying a classic platinum bag from Hermes! She had very light makeup on her face, and her hair was styled exquisitely.
She looked elegant and gentle, without the arrogance of a socialite.
Brother Trumpet glanced at Joanna, and his heart skipped a beat like an electric current had passed through his body. He quickly picked up his coffee and took a sip to hide his nervousness.
During his live broadcasts, Brother Trumpet was articulate and eloquent. However, in private, he was very quiet and did not like to talk.
“I've seen your business card. Your last name is Tate, right? I'll call you Mr. Tate!” “Yes, yes, okay!” Brother Trumpet smiled shyly. He was completely different from his confident and poised self on the live stream.

The dimples on her cheeks were even more alluring.
Brother Trumpet was stunned for a moment. The woman opposite him was really beautiful.
He had been checking and reading about Joanna on the online news for the past few days. He could not believe that Joanna was the controversial person in the news.
“Well, did you bring any samples of the goods today?” Joanna quickly nodded. “Oh, | did. They are in the car!” Brother Trumpet paused for a moment. “What kind of samples did you bring?” Joanna smiled. “The smart electric rice cooker and the smart cleaning robot!” “How much stock do you have?” Brother Trumpet asked casually.
Joanna opened her bag and took out a folder. “This is the information of the goods. You can take a look!” “We only used to collaborate with foreign brands previously! Hence, all our products are of top-notch quality and functionalities.” Brother Trumpet took the information and looked over them. “I don’t have a problem with your products.” “It's settled then. I'll give a hand at the products!” Brother Trumpet said and looked up at Joanna.
“What about the commissions? How are they charged?” “The commission is one percent!” “How long will it take to sell the goods?” Brother Trumpet thought for a moment. I'm going to do a live broadcast next Saturday!” “Your inventory looks okay. If you sell them on my live stream, | will take at most two live streams to sell all of them!” Brother Trumpet said calmly and confidently.
Joanna was astounded when she heard that! She probably had hundreds of millions of inventory! She was skeptical that it would take only one day to sell them.
“Alright then, let's talk about the contract!” “Alright!” “Here are the procedure and the contract. You can read through the documents in detail! If there are no problems, you may sign the contract!” Joanna looked through the documents and realized that the procedure was indeed simple! It was less complicated than finding a partner offline! “Is this the contract?” “Yes. If there's no problem, you can sign it now.” Joanna looked at Brother Trumpet in disbelief.
She never expected that the negotiation for the collaboration would be so smooth! She had heard from Michael that it could be arduous to cooperate with popular streamers because so many merchants wanted to work with them.
Even big merchants had to line up to cooperate with them. Joanna thought that she might have to wait for days. She did not expect to conclude the negotiation in one day! “We are signing the contract today?” Brother Trumpet looked at Joanna's surprised expression and could not help but laugh. “Why? If you're worried, you can sign it next week!” “Oh, no, no! | just didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.” As Joanna replied, she signed her name on the contract.
In any case, the backlog of the goods was piling up as they speak. It was best to get rid of them as soon as possible.
