Chapter 119 Press Conference
Brittany walked up to Asher and gave Nora a jealous glare.
Then, her obsessed eyes fell on Asher's handsome face, "Asher, I read in the news that the Hawn Group has recently encountered a problem. If necessary, the Sherry Group is always ready to..."
"There's no need for that!" Brittany didn't finish her sentence when Asher's cold voice interrupted her.
Brittany's smile froze and she continued, "But I read the news that the Hawn Group's stock price has dropped a lot because of the 'Ice and Fire' incident. If the cooperation between the Hawn Group and the Sherry Group is reached as soon as possible, I believe it will be a benefit to the Hawn Group and the share price will definitely rise by then."
"What, do you think the Hawn Group has to rely on the Sherry Group for its share price to rise?" Asher's thin lips were slightly curved and his eyes were cold and stern as he looked at Brittany.
Asher's cold aura came over her face, Brittany bit her lip and said with the grievance, "Asher, I didn't mean that... I just want to help you..."
"No need." Asher's ice-cold face was as if it could make her freeze and he said impatiently, "I'm busy. Please go out."
Brittany stomped her foot in exasperation and glared at Nora with hatred before she turned to leave.
"Why don't you go after her?" Nora turned her head to glance at Asher and said ironically.
Asher said slowly, "What, you want me to go after her?"
"She came to help you with good intentions, but you did this to her. Don't you fear you'll break her heart?" Nora's tone had a fit of certain jealousy that she hadn't noticed herself.
Just thinking about the scene of Asher and Brittany dancing that day made her upset.
"Well..." Asher placed his face in one hand and pretended to be thinking for a few seconds, "I'll go after her then."
With that, Asher made a gesture to stand up.
Seeing that Asher was seriously going to go after Brittany, Nora blurted out without thinking, "Asher, don't you dare go after her!"
Nora's obviously jealous words reached Asher's ears and he laughed lightly, "Nora, you're jealous."
Nora came back to her senses and was a little embarrassed.
What was wrong with her? How came she was always led around by the nose by Asher?
Such a feeling was terribly unpleasant!
Nora glared at Asher in annoyance, "No, I'm not!"
Asher moved closer to Nora's ear with a smile and said in a magnetic voice, "Nora, I danced with Brittany that day because I was mad at you for being with Julian."
His gentle breath blew in Nora's neck, tickling Nora.
Nora subconsciously pushed Asher away, feeling slightly moved...
Was Asher explaining to her?
A touch of warmth inexplicably crossed her heart. She took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "You can dance with whoever you like. It has nothing to do with me."
Asher's eyes were as deep as an ocean that could drown someone in them.
His cello-like melodious voice said, "I will only dance with you from now on."
Nora had a momentary lapse of concentration.
But--
Nora smiled somewhat mockingly, "What about Mia? If Mia comes back one day, will you dance with her?"
Mia...
Asher fell silent.
Nora's heart sank little by little.
Asher's silence had given her the best answer.
Nora laughed at herself. In fact, she already knew the answer, didn't she?
In Asher's heart, she was just Mia's shadow.
Nora dispelled the incomprehensible emotions in her mind, pointed to the documents on the table, and said in a cold voice, "Read these materials as soon as possible. We can't afford to make any mistakes at the press conference this afternoon. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to work."
After Nora said this, she turned around and left.
At 2:00 pm, the press conference was held on time.
In the conference hall, reporters had already seized vantage points and were waiting, carrying the cameras, for fear of missing the first news.
Nora sat in the corner and quietly watched the dazzling man sitting on the stage.
With the crowd eagerly waiting, Asher stood up and cleared his throat, "Welcome to the press conference of the Hawn Group."
After a pause, he continued, "The main content of this conference is a briefing and explanation of the recent 'Ice and Fire' incident.
As we all know, several cases of poisoning caused by wearing the Hawn Group's 'Ice and Fire' jewelry have occurred in succession recently. The Hawn Group pays great attention to this incident.
After days of investigation, we found that the problematic jewelry came from the French branch factory, while the 'Ice & Fire' jewelry produced by the headquarters is completely free of any problems. This is our test reports."
Asher turned sideways and looked at Clark, who immediately understood and showed the test reports to the crowd and said, "This is the test reports from the authoritative institutions and the test results prove that the jewelry produced in our headquarters is qualified."
A reporter asked, "Mr. Hawn, since the 'Ice and Fire' produced by the French branch of your company is now confirmed to be faulty, what will you do?"
Asher said in a deep voice, "We have already recalled all the defective products and destroyed them in a pollution-free way. I will personally go to France to investigate the cause of this incident, and I will definitely not condone those who caused this incident!
As for the customers who were poisoned by 'Ice and Fire' jewelry, our staff has negotiated with all the victims and reached a compensation agreement with them. I would like to extend my most sincere apologies to them!"
Asher's speech won a round of applause from the audience.
The reporters seized the opportunity to ask a few more questions, "Excuse me, Mr. Hawn, do you have any explanation about the problems that occurred in the French branch factory?"
"Tomorrow I will go to France in person to investigate and find out the truth as soon as possible. If it is confirmed that the problem is indeed within the Hawn Group, I will be responsible for it." Asher said in a firm tone.
"Mr. Hawn, is there a mole in the Hawn Group in this incident?" Another reporter asked.
Asher said, "We don't rule out this possibility. I will give you a fair and just answer when the investigation result comes out."
The press conference was a success. After Asher's speech, the Hawn Group's share price stopped falling and started to recover.
Nora also breathed a small sigh of relief.
However, the press conference today was only a stop-gap measure. The key was the trip to France tomorrow, where she and Asher had a tough battle to fight.
