Chapter 358
Aubree brought Vincent and a few trusted senior executives from the company to Nadio to attend the Internet Innovation Conference
She explained. “The Internet Innovation Conference usually gathers almost every large and small enterprise in Lumanon involved in the new media and internet industry.”

“Many promising newcomers will try everything to get into the conference. If they’re lucky, their project might get spotted by a big boss and shoot to the top overnight.”
Even though this was only a domestic conference, not just anyone could participate.
For them, as a startup company not even two years old, receiving a VIP invitation was a major sign of their strength.
Aubree smiled. “The main goal this time is to connect and learn.” In plain terms, she meant to network with top executives and expand their connections.
After a successful round of funding, they had rapidly attracted a huge number of users. The user base of GrabCheap was growing like crazy, followed closely by a large influx of merchants.
GrabCheap had more users than any other e–commerce platform on the market, and that number was still climbing.
It wasn’t just more users. The platform’s transaction volume was rising too, and money was beginning to cycle back in. At this pace, breaking even was only a matter of time.
And this was only their first round of funding. Their original plan had been to secure two rounds of investment.
Of course, not everything was perfect. With more users and merchants came the inevitable problem of a mixed–quality environment. Some low–quality merchants used misleading pictures and sold inferior products at cheap prices. Negative reviews on GrabCheap had begun increasing sharply.
This was an unavoidable issue.
All Aubree could do was remain customer–focused and safeguard consumer rights as much as possible. For example, by offering unconditional refunds.
Alice replied, “Yeah. Your dad and Bryan are going to Nadio for the Internet Innovation Conference. Your uncle and the others are going too. I’m tagging along.”
As for what she’d be doing there, of course, she was going to act as a middleman, pulling the Wilson and Diamonde families together to deal with Aubree. Her growth had been far too fast. If they didn’t act soon, Aubree would eventually slip out of
their control entirely.
Thinking of this, Alice felt even more confident that her decision at the art exhibition had been right.
Even if they’d suffered a minor loss, it wasn’t anything serious.
