The Queen They Buried

Chapter 439

Aubree couldn't guarantee every single thing would be a hundred percent successful, but she had absolute

confidence in everything she did.

She was sure those three companies wouldn't refuse to work with her.

“Ms. Miller, Mr. Carr, we've watched the mini s. Honestly, we have to admit there's something kind of

addictive about it. It keeps people watching. But about this partnership..

The executives across from them exchanged glances.

“We still think we should hold off on this collaboration. Each episode is two or three minutes long. We've never

seen anything produced like that before. The actors are all pretty much unknown, and the costumes, sets, and

special effects are nothing to write habout. Mr. Carr, you probably know more about these than we do.

“We don’t see a product like this bringing any game-changing profits to our platform. Honestly, it’s not just

about money. We're worried about risking our platform's reputation, you know?”

No! You... Kurtis shot up from his seat, furious. These people acted all friendly when they watched the video

together. Now they were showing their true colors.

And it was already the second company to turn them down.

“Mr. Carr!” Aubree reached out and gently pressed down on Kurtis’s shoulder. “It’s alright. Everyone has their

own considerations. Even if we can’t work together this time, there’s no hard feelings. We're still on good terms.”

Aubree smiled at the executives across the table. “Looks like my project didn’t win you over. | guess | need to

work harder. It doesn’t matter if we can’t cooperate. I'll treat you all to a meal when there's a chance in the

future.”

After exchanging a couple of polite words, Aubree simply led Kurtis out of the room without saying anything

more.

Once they were back in the car, Kurtis still couldn't wrap his head around how things had turned out this way.

“Are those people blind or what?” he burst out. “Why didn’t you say anything back there?”

“Aubree fought for it just like | did at the first company, even though it didn't work out. However, Aubree didn't

time. How could Aubree just let it go with the second one?’ thought Kurtis.

Aubree gave a small smile. “There’s no need to get all worked up if they don’t want to work with us. We've still

got a third company to visit, don’t we? Besides, missing our flight would be a real pain.”

Her voice was steady, not a trace of annoyance or frustration on her face as if the rejection didn’t bother her in

the slightest.

Kurtis stared at her in disbelief. “You don’t care at all? If none of these deals work out, won't it mess up your

plans, at least a

little?”

There was no way they could pull it off just by making those mini s themselves.

Selling the rights wasn’t just about a simple licensing fee. It was about getting the mini s out there. After

the first wave of hype, all the major video platforms would start streaming them, making the mini-s look

like the next big thing.

Wherever there's money to be made, people will jump in. Soon, there'd be plenty of others making mini s,

too, putting them on Zappy and that free platform of theirs. With all those ripple effects, the biggest winners

would still be them, eventually.

However, if even one step was missing, it'd be hard to hit their targets as fast as they wanted.

Aubree shrugged and said, “If they don’t want to work with us, it’s not like we can hold a gun to their head and

force them, right?

“No point wasting our ton something that leads nowhere. Let's do something that matters. Let's check on

how things are going in Urggate City before we decide our next move.”

‘She's really this chill? Kurtis thought, watching her.

However, he started to feel a little more at ease as he looked at Aubree. She must have had this all planned out,

thought Kurtis.

Aubree and Kurtis made a beeline for their next destination when their plane touched down in Urggate City. Sure

enough, they got rejected yet again, though it was both unexpected and somehow exactly what they'd

anticipated.

As they reached the company entrance, Kurtis shot a glare at the secretary who'd walked them out. He said, “Are

these three companies in cahoots or what? Seriously, they're all giving us the slexcusel

“We told them the mini wasn’t sfancy production long ago, didn’t we? They didn’t care before, but

now everyone has suddenly got a problem with it. This isn’t how people do business, right?”

Aubree pressed her lips into a thin line. “It’s not that they don’t want to work with us. It's that someone beat us

to the punch.”

“What?” Kurtis blurted out, completely shocked. As far as he knew, they were the only ones doing mini s

right now. He thought, ‘If it weren't for Aubree, even if someone had toldabout this, there’s no way I'd have

thrown money at something

like this.

“If Aubree hadn't letget a taste of success with those mini s, and | hadn't taken a gamble with her, |

never would've believed in the mini thing. | thought it was burning cash for nothing when I first heard

about it.
