Chapter 41 is your aunt!
As if he was too proud, Qi Tong didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong for a moment. He took out his mobile phone and opened the media software to show Lu Jinzhao.
"Mr. Lu, look, our press conference accounted for seven of the top ten trending searches. It's definitely the hottest news today. The peak number of viewers for the live broadcast exceeded 20 million, directly breaking the previous record. The sponsor is very satisfied."
Seeing Qi Tong's tactlessness, Lu Jinzhao's eyes twitched with anger. He slapped Qi Tong's hand away and glared at him, "You're feeling really proud, aren't you? I scolded Wang Rui but not you, right? What are you so smug about?"
Qi Tong's smile froze on her face. She didn't understand the situation for a moment, and had no idea what was going on with Mr. Lu's sudden anger.
He blinked in confusion, "No, Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you? This effect has exceeded our previous expectations. Are you still not satisfied?"
"I'm not satisfied with you!" Lu Jinzhao asked with gritted teeth, "There's someone missing from the press conference. Are you blind? Where are they?"
"People?" Qi Tong didn't react at the moment, staring blankly: "Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? Who..."
"Fuck..."
Lu Jinzhao wanted to give Qi Tong a big fight on the spot. Just as he was about to get angry, Wang Rui, the person in charge of the press conference, arrived.
He ran up to her panting, raised his hand and pulled Qi Tong aside, panting and saying, "Boss Lu, I'm here."
He had just returned to the company, but President Lu called him back.
Wang Ruike was much more perceptive than Qi Tong. He noticed Chen Ci's cold expression at the first sight and quickly said apologetically, "Miss Chen, right? This time it's our fault. We are really sorry."
"Of course it's your fault. Could it be my sister's fault?" Shen Ci said in a bad tone.
Wang Rui nodded repeatedly. "But the press conference is over. Can you please give us a chance? I promise that we will be extremely careful in all our work from now on, and we will never let a situation like today happen again."
Shen Ci turned his head slightly to look at Lu Jinzhao, his eyes were so gloomy and captivating that Lu Jinzhao understood immediately.
Miss Shen said on the phone that the press conference was over, but this matter was not over. If she didn't get a satisfactory result, she would withdraw her investment!
He immediately reacted and said, "Miss Shen, let's go to the back and talk. It's a mess in the front."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. Chen Ci didn't say much and walked backstage. Lu Jinzhao glared at Wang Rui and Qi Tong before hurriedly following.
Wang Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to leave when Qi Tong hurriedly stopped him. Qi Tong asked nervously and surprisedly, "If it's not Brother Rui, who is this girl?"
"It's your aunt!" Wang Rui pointed at Qi Tong and cursed angrily, "You've gotten yourself into big trouble. Good luck to you!"
Qi Tong was stunned when he heard this.
What's going on?
Backstage, Lu Jinzhao personally moved a sofa chair for Shen Ci to sit on, and he moved a small chair to sit beside him.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Lu Jinzhao showed the aura of a superior and asked Wang Rui and Qi Tong while staring at them.
As the person in charge of this press conference, Wang Rui will be held responsible for any problems that arise, even if they are not his fault.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke first, "It was our negligence at work, Mr. Lu. We really know we were wrong this time."
"I don't want to hear the word negligence!" Lu Jinzhao's eyes darkened, and he scolded coldly: "Don't use such a lame excuse to prevaricate Miss Shen, just tell me what the facts are, I want to hear the truth!"
Not noticing that one person was missing was an oversight, not to mention Shen Ci not believing it, Lu Jinzhao himself would not believe it either.
Wang Rui dodged his gaze and secretly glanced at Chen Ci. Although she didn't say a word, the air pressure around her was terribly low.
This is the major investor of the project, someone that President Lu has to support, and he really can't afford to offend him.
"It's... because the stage entrance area for the press conference is insufficient, so we temporarily reduced one stage quota. I was thinking... I was thinking..."
"Thinking that Chen Li is a newcomer, you pick on the weak, right?" Seeing that Wang Rui was hesitant to speak, Chen Ci coldly spoke up to help him finish.
Wang Rui was embarrassed and scared, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and nodded, and quickly added: "Miss Shen, this is really a big misunderstanding. If I knew that it was you behind Shen Li, I wouldn't dare to get rid of her even if you gave me ten thousand guts, don't you think?"
I thought this reason was sufficient, and they also admitted that it was artificial reduction in staff that eliminated Chen Li. From the attitude of admitting mistakes, they were also very sincere. As an investor, even if Chen Ci was angry, he should consider the overall situation.
After all, the press conference has ended, and there is not much point in delving into it further.
However, Shen Ci's mood did not improve at all because of Wang Rui's words, but he was so angry that he laughed.
She stared at Wang Rui intently and asked, "Do you think I'm easy to fool because I'm young?"
"I...I didn't mean that, Miss Shen. How dare I fool you!" Wang Rui was terrified and looked at Lu Jinzhao for help.
Lu Jinzhao turned a blind eye to this. He knew that Miss Shen had to make things clear today, so when Miss Shen said she was satisfied, the matter would end.
"Then let me ask you, if you knew from the beginning that Chen Li was my sister, who would you choose when the last spot on stage was cut?"
"The third male lead, Song Anyu? The second female leads, Ren Jia and Gao Fei? Or the fourth male lead, Sun Yalun?"
Shen Ci's tone seemed calm, but in fact it was full of oppression.
Wang Rui opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing this, Shen Ci sneered and said for him: "You won't reduce the weight of anyone at all, because these actors are all well-known actors, and no one's team will allow their own actors to be unable to go on stage. Once a commotion breaks out, your press conference will not be able to proceed smoothly."
"So you'll try every possible means to cram all the actors onto the stage and into the camera. But you're a professional team, you won't allow such a chaotic situation to happen at all."
"Then there's only one answer left, and that's 'the stage can't hold that many people.' That excuse is pure bullshit. I'll immediately find someone to recreate the stage from the press conference and get the same number of people standing on it. If it truly can't hold them, I won't say a word. I'll admit my mistake, apologize, and invest an additional 5,000 yuan!"
"But what if it can accommodate so many people? Can you two bear the consequences? Hmm?"
