Chapter 860 – #97. Lanna (21)
“Yes? Us?”
These days, there is a word Lanna says the most.
“Yes?! My, affiliation?”
I had to hear embarrassing news often, so I had no choice but to do that.
“Yes, yes. I understand. Yes.”
Pop-
She hung up the phone and sighed deeply.
It seemed that my soul had been drained.
The situation itself is no reason to sigh.
‘Because they were all helpful contacts to the company.’
She was told she would help, but when she met with Mr. Khanna, she did not specifically elaborate how she would help.
‘When we met then, should we have talked?’
The help she expected was the recommendation of her personal connections to solve the most difficult part of her overseas expansion, the government officials’ non-cooperation.
This time, she clearly realized that people weren’t connecting people for nothing, so she wanted to get help from Kanna in that way.
‘It’s much bigger than I thought.’
The problem is that Kanna’s offering of help is on a different level from what she hoped for.
I was hoping for indirect help, the introduction of her personal connections, but Kanna took care of the job neatly in a fiery way.
How surprised she is whenever she receives calls from employees who are out of the country.
And the surprise was being updated in real time.
“Are there any advertising offers?”
-Yes! How do I do this? Will I accept it? The price range is so good. Advertising during this time period on such a large site is very fierce. It’s to the point where it makes no sense not to receive it.
“Uh…If it’s at that price range, I can’t accept it. Say you’ll advertise.”
-Yes, CEO!!
Before they even asked for ads, they said that a large-scale portal site even offered them to place ads at a very low price.
There was no reason to make such a proposal to our company out of the blue, so it must have been someone’s breath.
I couldn’t help but take the advantage that lay in front of her, and although she eagerly accepted, it occurred to me that she couldn’t let this continue to happen.
‘It’s too much.’
Proposals were coming in from large corporations with good conditions, asking for a steady partnership.
It was clear that the company would be able to grow tremendously after receiving these proposals.
Usually, these things would only happen when a company acquired a company.
“…The big corporations are starting to push, so I’m out of my mind.”
And that’s not all.
Assuming that all events for incoming offers are completed, domestic chain stores that thought their growth was over will also benefit.
It’s a service that goes into domestic chain stores all at once.
For meticulous and thrifty people who always take care of discounts, it will be a good opportunity to get in touch with our coffee chain stores.
‘The real company is growing.’
Ranna realized that the company was changing faster than anyone else.
‘May I contact you personally?’
Kanna-san, introduced by her husband.
Despite her nervousness, Ms. Kanna wasn’t a difficult person to talk to.
She probably made it easy for her because she was considerate of herself who was having a hard time.
However, just because she made it easy for me when I met her, that didn’t mean she was someone I could easily get in touch with.
What’s more, through this incident, she had clearly felt the true value of Kanna-san.
‘I can’t believe that such a great person was that person back then.’
Kanna really belongs to a world that can only be seen in dramas and movies.
It seemed that she would have to ask her husband and then make her decision.
When her husband came home.
She caught her break and called her husband to a separate room.
“Honey, I have something to discuss.”
“What is it?”
“It’s a business thing…”
“Ah~ Are you saying that Kanna said she would help?”
“Yes.”
Her husband immediately noticed what she was about to ask.
After she met Mr. Kanna, she told her husband everything that had happened to her company without exception.
Her husband listened quietly and patted Lanna on the shoulder.
“You must have been very embarrassed. But considering the company, it seems like a good thing?”
“That’s true, but…I wonder if Kanna-san is overdoing it. The help I hoped for isn’t that great.”
“She’s not pushing herself at all.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t the topic of an IPO came up at the meeting then? Maybe Kanna is planning to raise the company until it can go public. So, that’s just the beginning.”
In the future, the company will grow faster and faster.
That’s how big corporations work.
“That day, I think Kanna saw me very well. She said she wanted to go beyond the S brand. She thinks she has to be able to keep up with this speed to go beyond the S brand.”
“Listed…Should be done. That’s right. There’s still a long way to go…”
As soon as the word certificate came out of her husband’s mouth, Ranna hesitated.
If we continue to receive help in this way in the future, the company will grow quickly.
In fact, domestic chain stores, which had already been thought to have stopped growing, were responding.
“So don’t be afraid to take it.”
“It’s Kanna-san that I’m worried about. Even if she helps me, she doesn’t benefit from it.”
I would rather not know if I own a stock.
“It’s embarrassing to receive help one-sided like this.”
“I’ll take care of Kanna. She paid for it when she introduced you in the first place.”
That she already paid for it?
“Why are you doing that? It’s all about getting help.”
“I own more of the company.”
“!!”
When her husband came out like this, she had nothing to say either.
“You’re entitled to do something for the company, right?”
“Yes.”
“The price has already been paid by me, so what’s left for you to do?”
“…To grow the company to its fullest when you get help.”
“That’s right. The opportunity has come, so try to grow up nicely.”
Support from her husband.
Lanna ended up talking to her husband without any success.
Now she can’t stop her company from changing rapidly.
I wasn’t sure if the change would be for the better or for the worse.
What is certain, however, is that the staff are very happy with the current situation.
Helpful suggestions pour in from all over the place, so the employees also have a taste for working.
And it was the same with Lanna.
♧ ♧ ♧
“Wow, there are a lot of events here these days.”
“The price and taste aren’t bad. They have a lot of new menu items, so I go here these days.”
“I heard they’re opening a new business over there?”
When Bianca started helping in earnest, she began to grow at a rapid pace, as expected.
As she wandered around the downtown area, she could often see Lanna’s coffee chain.
The steady increase in new branches is proof that the company is growing that well.
It was a positive sign that the number of new customers and branches increased, disregarding the thought that domestic branches had stopped growing.
“If you go outside these days, you can see that there are new branches.”
“I didn’t know that partnering with a conglomerate would be so effective. That’s why I’m looking at a conglomerate conglomerate. A lot of inquiries have come in from chain stores.”
“Didn’t you say that there were quite a few inquiries about chain stores overseas?”
“Yes, that’s right. I did an ad.”
Even though she was reluctant to receive excessive help at first, she seemed to have no hesitation as she personally experienced the rapid growth of her company.
She seemed to be suffering a bit, but she endured it safely and was focusing all her attention on the growth of the company.
Most of the day was spent focusing on work.
I was worried about getting hurt, but she seemed too happy to tell me to work while taking care of her health, so I couldn’t speak.
“So I think we can open a branch overseas.”
Lanna, she said, seemed to have someone putting a hand on her own back and continuing to push her to move forward.
“I received this kind of help, and even received a stake, but I can’t stay out of my mind. I’ll get my mind right.”
Ambition to catch up with the S brand.
She never forgot and was sweating for her goal.
“It’s good to work hard, but you have to take care of your health, right? Now, eat this.”
“What is this again? I’m taking good nutritional supplements.”
“You haven’t been able to eat properly because of work these days.”
“…”
If you can’t say no, it’s clear that you can’t take care of it.
What was held in front of her was a round pill that looked like rabbit poop.
“I’m giving it because I think so. And this.”
“Ah…?”
Lanna is taken aback when she sees that she holds out the pills.
“I think if I try it once, the results will come out.”
It was a pregnancy test.
“You really want me to do this?”
“Yes.”
“…We did that at the time, but I completely forgot about it.”
“I see.”
“But the company just started to grow…”
“You were supposed to have a third child.”
“Right. I did.”
As the company grew rapidly, it seemed that she was worried that she would have to leave her job due to pregnancy.
“It’s not like you don’t want a third child because you’re worried about the company, right? If you’re pregnant, leave the company to me. That’s fine, right?”
“Are you the company?”
“Isn’t that better than leaving it to someone else? Or leaving it to a professional manager.”
“You haven’t used the test yet. You may not be pregnant.”
Well?
From what I can see, I have been showing quite a few signs of her pregnancy.
Although he himself was distracted by work, so he did not notice.
Frankly, I was looking at the odds very high that she got her pregnant.
“Think carefully. Your physical condition these days.”
“…”
Her eyeballs run around busily.
Wrinkles began to form between her brows as she pondered.
I put my thumb between her brows and smoothed out her wrinkles.
“Something’s stuck?”
“I’ll try it and come back.”
Lanna hurriedly went into the bathroom.
I was worried about what I would do if I couldn’t be genuinely happy that the third person came because I was worried about the company.
However, Lanna came out of the bathroom faster than expected.
“!!!!”
Her eyes were wide open.
“How have you been?”
She did not give a direct answer to my question, but gave an answer in a roundabout way.
“When did you notice?”
“Two lines came out? It wasn’t long before I realized that.”
That’s right!
Her nights spent with her had borne fruit not in vain.
“If I had known earlier, I would have eaten properly!
As she smiled broadly, she fell into my arms.
