Translator: 549690339
Antonio Woods scrambled onto the small stage in a rush.
Although Elijah Bailey had arranged for someone to keep an eye on Will Jones’ group, the sudden appearance of Antonio Woods caught them off guard.
Upon seeing Antonio Woods, Sherry Jones, who was busy organizing work under the stage, was also taken aback.
“Why is he here?” Sherry Jones said startled, immediately her gaze involuntarily darted towards where Will Jones was.
Right then, Mori Jones was also looking in their direction, wearing a sinister smile on his face.
“Is Antonio Woods with him?!” Sherry Jones came to the realization, but it was too late. Antonio Woods had already reached the center of the stage and started preparing to speak.
If they oust him at this moment, it could reflect negatively on the reputation of the Jones Group.
But if they let him speak, there’s no telling what outrageous thing he might do.
Contemplating this, Sherry’s expression turned troubled.
Just then, White Mitchell calmly walked over to her and said, “Don’t worry, let him speak. We can react accordingly afterwards.”
Of course, White Mitchell said this not because he was too worried about impacting the Jones Group’s reputation, but because he wanted to see who else was involved.
He wasn’t too worried about Antonio Woods creating a scene. No matter how much chaos Antonio created, White Mitchell knew he had the capabilities to turn the tables and eliminate every obstacle for Sherry.
At this moment, he looked like a cat playing with a mouse. He let the mouse jump around, knowing that, after all, the mouse was still just a mouse!
After hearing this, Sherry quietly nodded, instructed everyone not to intervene, and immediately focused her attention on Antonio.
At this point, Antonio Woods stood on the small stage, took up the microphone confidently, and started speaking.
“Ahem, everyone, fellow journalists, please quiet down, and listen to what I have to say!” Antonio Woods cleared his throat and initiated his speech theatrically.
Hmm?
Started so soon?
The journalists, who were still adjusting their equipment, became surprised when they heard Woods’ comments. Subsequently, their attention swiftly turned towards the stage.
Seeing their reaction, Antonio Woods continued, “My fellow journalists, I believe you are all here by Sayon TV’s order, right?”
Everyone paused for a moment, then quietly nodded. Indeed, they were here on orders from Sayon TV. Was there a problem with that?
Blank expressions turned towards Antonio Woods’ direction.
Seeing the nodding heads, Antonio Woods breathed a sigh of relief, a weight lifted off his chest.
Sayon TV was indeed the one.
That Dean, he took Antonio’s money, but couldn’t get the job done well, and caused such a huge misunderstanding
Thankfully he had arrived in time, otherwise, if Sherry were to complete the press conference successfully, wouldn’t Hans kill him?
Thinking of this, Antonio Woods couldn’t help scolding Dean in his heart.
“Stop stalling and get to the point!” At this time, Will Jones, who was below the stage, was impatient with Antonio Woods’ long-windedness and scolded him.
If It were before, he wouldn’t dare speak against Antonio Woods.
But now, things were different. Hans had personally instructed Antonio Woods to assist him.
Now, Antonio Woods was merely his assistant. Therefore, he had to put on a master’s posture, otherwise, how could he control this sly old fox, Antonio Woods?
Antonio Woods on stage, upon hearing this, a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his face. However, he had no choice but to obediently tell the journalists below, “I think it’s a mistake from Sayon TV.
They were supposed to prevent you all from coming here. There might have been a misunderstanding when this message was relayed, therefore causing you all to come here unnecessarily.
I am a long-time good friend of the editor-in-chief Dean Xie. He personally told me. There’s absolutely no problem. So, my apologies for today’s commotion. Everyone may leave. I will arrange another banquet to apologise to everyone later.”
Wow!
As soon as his voice fell, it stirred up a flurry of chatter among the crowd.
The journalists who were ordered to come here looked at each other with a completely bewildered expression on their faces.
What was going on? Wasn’t it Sayon TV that gave the order to reach Wenx Hotel within forty minutes?
Was he telling the truth? Could it be that the order was communicated wrongly?
That isn’t right. One error is understandable, but it couldn’t be that everyone is wrong, could it?
Thinking of this, the crowd could not help but start to doubt. After all, this was an order personally issued by Sayon Television Station’s director office, the chances of it being wrong were slim to none.
Antonio Woods on stage saw that people started doubting what he said and a calm expression hung on his face.
He then continued earnestly, “Don’t worry, what I said is definitely correct. What’s the relationship between Dean and me was very good.
Moreover, if Sayon TV really wanted you all to be here, why wouldn’t they be present themselves? Doesn’t this clearly indicate that they won’t be here?”
Upon saying this, Antonio Woods wore a triumphant smile on his face.
Also, journalists began murmuring amongst themselves, displaying complicated expressions.
Seeing this, Antonio’s triumphant expression deepened significantly.
He knew, these reporters had started to waver. As long as he continued to analyse the situation, he could completely dispel their doubts.
At that time, once the journalists are gone, Sherry’s press conference definitely won’t be able to continue!
Thinking of this, Antonio Woods commenced his passionate speech again: “Everyone, please calm down. If you have any concerns, let’s recall yesterday’s news report about the Jones Group.
That was personally reviewed and released by Dean from Sayon TV’s news editing department. It was all about the Jones Group’s scandals.
Can you imagine, under such circumstances, would Sayon TV ask you to attend the Jones Group’s conference?”
Wow!
His comment stirred up a thousand waves. The crowd was in an uproar, buying Antonio Woods’ words completely.
And seeing this, Sherry Jones and others became anxious.
Antonio Woods’ comment was like pouring a bucket of cold water onto the flame of hope that they just ignited, extinguishing it instantly, and returning them back to square one.
At this time, Antonio Woods, seeing Jones Group’s despaired expressions felt elated. He started talking more arrogantly, “OK, OK, disperse now, disperse.
It was all a misunderstanding. Sayon TV won’t be here today, everyone, you ”
Bang!
Just as Antonio Woods was in full swing, the conference hall’s door suddenly opened and Carlos with a team of Sayon TV reporters broke into the hall, making a grand entrance.
And right now, Carlos was wearing a stern face, looking angrily at the boastful Antonio Woods on the stage, “Who says Sayon TV is not coming!? Who the hell do you think you are? You dare to keep bullshitting here!!?”
