Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 497

Jenny smiled bitterly. "Then they are going to instigate the fanbase to spread more rumors and bring down our reputation. Melanie has a very strong fanbase. If that really happens, our credibility will suffer, and it's going to affect our marketing for the vaccine."

Jenny hesitated before suggesting, "Well, I suggest we comply with them. Let Melanie endorse us, and we will pay 200 million to her. Once she's the ambassador, her fanbase will stop spreading those rumors and everything will be solved."

Nathan turned to Penny. "What do you think, President Smith?"

Penny shook her head. "No, her behavior is problematic and I'm not letting her be our brand ambassador."

Jenny panicked. "But now we're facing a credibility crisis! What should we do?"

Penny turned to Nathan for help. "Any suggestions, Nathan?"

Nathan smiled. "Let me settle this. I will make Melanie apologize on TV and restore our reputation."

Penny and the rest rounded their eyes in disbelief.

Did he just say he will make the superstar Melanie apologize on TV and restore our reputation? Is that even possible?

Although Nathan said he could settle this himself, Penny was still worried if he could actually manage it.

Hence, she brought Jenny and a few other staff from the legal department and accompanied Nathan to Wisteria Entertainment.

Nathan and Penny's team met up with Melanie and Hugo's team in the meeting room of Wisteria Entertainment.

Both parties sat across each other on the two sides of the long table.

Without further delay, Penny started the negotiation directly and demanded Melanie's side to stop spreading malicious rumors about the Hope vaccine.

However, Melanie replied nonchalantly as she applied her lipstick. "President Smith, I remember you have agreed to make me Cross Group's brand ambassador."

Penny was enraged by their arrogance.

Melanie was the one who instigated her fans to spread those rumors, yet she refused to admit her wrongdoings. Even if they try to sue them, Penny could only sue the poor fans who were used by their idol and not Melanie herself.

With the massive fanbase she had, things would get worse if they really sued her fans. That would be destructive to Cross Group.

What a meanie Melanie is!

Seeing how rage had crept on Penny's face, Hugo smiled and continued, "President Smith, both parties will benefit if we work together. If not, both of us will end up on the losing end. What for, then?"

Penny replied icily, "Cross Group will never make a celebrity with no morals and problematic behavior as our brand ambassador. That's final."

Melanie retorted furiously, "If that's the case, then there's no point in negotiating further; 200 million endorsement fee, and no less than that. Either you beg me to be your brand ambassador, or you wait for the day when your vaccine and company's reputation go down the drain!"
