When they sat down in the living room, April quickly asked Jane about her progress for the day.
“Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time today, and we haven’t finished visiting all the venues. Tomorrow, I plan to go out again and see a few more locations.”
“I’ve already inquired about the prices. If we don’t act quickly, some venues might have already finalized contracts with other contractors.”
Jane wanted to express that they not only had to work hard in the past few days but also needed to be efficient.
If they were slow in their progress, even if they found a suitable place, it would be unlikely for them to hold the concert there as planned.
So even if it meant working harder, they had to make progress quickly. The next day, Jane went to visit the venues again, while April went into the recording studio to practice alone.
When Jane and her assistant looked at the venue, Jane frowned.
“Is this one of the places you mentioned, with complete facilities and a larger space? Can I really replace all these seats?”
“We are holding a concert to provide enjoyment for the fans, not just a regular meeting. These seats and chairs will do.”
Jane pointed out the areas she was most dissatisfied with.
The sides of the stage were cluttered with debris, and if they were to cover them up, it would undoubtedly take a lot of time and affect the stage setup.
However, it was not feasible to remove everything because some items were fixed on the stage.
If they dismantled everything, it would require a new investment, and moreover, the venue rental party might not allow them to do so.
When Jane looked at other areas of the venue, she was also dissatisfied. Many windows in the hall were damaged.
Under these circumstances, the level of the concert would be compromised. This venue might be suitable for a rural wedding or a rural performance, but for a modern-themed concert, it was too ordinary.
Even a relatively unknown singer might choose to give up on this place when selecting a venue, let alone someone like Jane, who was a star in her entertainment company.
Even though April was just starting to develop her career in the country.
But if a performance were to be held here and word got out, it would have a significant impact on April.
Jane expressed her dissatisfaction, and the assistant accompanied her to the next location.
Unbeknownst to them, something else was happening at Jane’s villa.
“Who are you? Jane is not at home. What do you want?” the nanny asked the young woman in front of her.
“Are you the kind of people Jane hires? Don’t you have eyes? I’ve come to check on my children.”
“I don’t know you, and I don’t have Jane’s contact. You can’t take the children with you,” the nanny quickly replied. She couldn’t afford to take the responsibility if there was a scammer involved.
“Have you ever seen someone dressed like me come to deceive a child? Did you see the car at the villa’s entrance? Have you ever seen someone driving such a car to deceive a child?”
“You’re new here, and I won’t argue with you. I’ll return the children tomorrow.”
Without further discussion, Melissa went to pick up the children. Two other people followed her to carry the children, and when the nanny held on tightly and refused to let go, one of the people behind her hit her. She immediately didn’t dare to make a sound.
Deep down, she didn’t believe that someone would boldly come in a luxury car to deceive a child. Without Jane’s contact, she didn’t dare make the decision herself.
“Tomorrow I will bring the children back, and I will give you extra money. If you don’t take good care of the children, I will hold you responsible,” Melissa said, further confirming the nanny’s suspicion that she was indeed connected to the children.
The nanny dialed Jane’s number on her phone, but Melissa paid no attention and directly got into the car with the children, leaving.
“Miss, a woman claiming to be the children’s mother came and took the children away. She said she would bring the children back tomorrow, and I couldn’t stop her. I was scolded and hit a few times,” the nanny explained when she called Jane.
After clarifying the situation with Jane and describing the children’s appearance, Jane was certain that it was indeed Melissa who took the children.
Although Jane disliked Melissa a lot, the children were innocent.
However, Jane was dealing with her own complex emotions and conflicting thoughts, unsure how to handle these two children.
“I understand. She is indeed the mother of the children. You should rest for now. If you have any injuries, get them checked, and I will cover all the expenses,” Jane said a few words and hung up the phone, feeling not very good.
For now, she had to put everything aside and continue focusing on the venue matters.
When they arrived at the next location, Jane’s anger was becoming harder to suppress, and she felt speechless.
It was because she knew beforehand that this place was not spacious, but it was supposed to have luxurious facilities.
However, everything in front of her, although it looked new, couldn’t be considered top-notch equipment.
Using this kind of lighting and other equipment would undoubtedly affect the performance’s quality. Even though creating an atmosphere here wouldn’t be difficult, what singers cared most about was reaching the peak of the atmosphere. It had to be not only elegant and grand but also reflect the singer’s concept.
Only when coordinated with the songs could they achieve a perfect effect.
But the current equipment fell short of their expectations.
“Let’s go. Next one. From now on, whenever you look at any venue, you must first obtain all the information and recordings of the place,” Jane said. “We can’t make such low-level mistakes again. It will waste our time and resources.”
The assistant nodded obediently behind Jane. She knew she had made a mistake, but there was nothing she could do. Jane was rushing her too much.
She couldn’t possibly visit every venue herself.
She couldn’t make sure that every venue had all the necessary information prepared beforehand, detailed and ready for negotiation. It was a process of negotiating on the go, determining intentions, and then preparing to visit.
But Jane had hurriedly come to see for herself, and she had noticed that the boss’s mood hadn’t been great these past few days.
The assistant could only follow behind Jane, hoping that in a few days, the boss would understand and appreciate her hard work during this time. It had indeed been quite challenging.
