Chapter 180
The handsome men and beautiful women instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Walking the red carpet hand in hand was just a formality, which didn't mean anything. But I was a bit worried when I saw Lily not far away.
In addition, many small companies and enterprises returned here, but they needed to be qualified to enter.
They also wanted to expand and increase their reputation, but promotion was very expensive. They might need help to afford it.
But now that the media conference was held, whether it was a major media company or a small advertising agency, in order to attract clients, everyone would offer the lowest discount deals, which was very friendly to small companies.
Indeed, it was a feast for all media people.
I called Marry, but she was still on the way with Holly.
I decided to stand there and wait for them.
Just then, I heard an angry female voice behind me. "John, why are you only arriving now?"
I turned around and saw Nicole!
I thought, ‘How did she also come?’
I wanted to avoid paying attention to her originally, but now she was a deputy director. I had offended her before, and she was waiting for a chance to get back at me. If I ignored her, she would definitely make a scene.
Although she couldn't do anything to me, she was really annoying.
"Director Nicole, I..." I was about to explain, but she interrupted me. "Do you have no discipline or sense of collective honor?"
Her voice was loud, attracting the attention of many people.
"As Ms. Smith said, you ignored the orders and left your post during working hours. Now I caught you red-handed. Let's see how you explain this!"
"What's going on?" Jenny walked over.
"Ms. Smith, John..."
Nicole repeated what she had just said, making Jenny frown. I was speechless. Encountering her here was bad. "I am now Ms. Wilson's driver. You can go and ask if you don't believe me."
I couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
"John, what's your attitude?" Nicole wanted to say more, but Jenny impatiently interrupted her. "Enough, stop!"
"Ms. Smith, you..."
"Look where you are now. Isn't it nice to be watched by everyone?" Jenny looked at her with an unfriendly expression. "Even if John is wrong, you can discuss it back at the company. Why scold him outside, afraid that others don't know how much authority you have?"
Nicole was speechless, her face showing how infuriated she felt. Philip and Brandon wanted to speak, but with a glance from Jenny, they quickly shut their mouths.
Jenny glanced at me, then turned and left. I looked at Lily, who looked at me meaningfully. It seemed she had already told Jenny that I was Katherine’s driver.
Nicole was publicly scolded by Jenny, losing dignity. "John, this is not over between us!"
I shrugged, ignoring her.
I took out my phone and sent a message to Holly who replied instantly, “I'm in the parking lot, coming over soon.”
I replied with 'Okay' and stood there waiting. Before long, Marry and Holly walked over, and I quickly approached them. Holly called out, "Mr. Cena!"
I made a hushing gesture, reminding her that I had told her not to reveal my identity for now. She seemed to realize her mistake and quickly fell silent.
"Let's go inside." Marry smiled, looking exceptionally beautiful today, dressed very formally. Her snow-white skin was glowing in the sunlight.
Naturally, she took my arm, and we walked down the red carpet, with Holly following behind us.
Her face changed instantly.
I should have told her in advance.
Ah, I had to coax her again!
But the expressions of the others in the company were all shocked, and I found it quite satisfying.
Nicole and her lackeys were dumbfounded, all looking stunned.
At the hotel's entrance, Marry took out three embossed invitations, and the welcoming staff politely invited us in!
Once inside, we were escorted to the conference hall on the third floor.
The conference hall was large and roughly divided into three sections, which were media company representatives, radio stations, and investors.
Of course, the investors' section was called the VIP area!
Walker Company's position was not at the front. It was decent in the industrial sector but not very impressive in Sevan with its position toward the back!
Holly was very excited. "The big shots are sitting here."
I said, "Feel free to enjoy."
She nodded, her eyes shining.
"Look, the representatives of Winest Company are over there!" Marry pointed to the side.
I glanced over. George wasn't there. There were representatives from DH Distillery. The Allen Family, who had also sent a representative, were present.
"No need to pay attention to these representatives. The real bosses of the companies with capital won't show up." Marry whispered, "Later, I'll introduce you to those people at the back. Although they don't have many assets, they are very suitable for you. You can't rely solely on big company contracts. These small and medium-sized enterprises are the foundation."
I nodded. Most big companies had their familiar media groups. For example, Skyliho had signed annual promotion agreements with two or three major groups, with promotion budgets starting at one billion dollars.
Despite this, most of the company's transactions came from small and medium-sized enterprises.
It was like a popular game, where there were whales, but ordinary fishes were the foundation of the game.
I scanned the crowd. In the media section, I spotted Linda and Katherine. Sitting between them was Steven!
The two women sandwiched Steven.
Steven, in his thirties, was mature and dignified, exuding an aura of superiority in his every move. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he was definitely charming.
However, he was a quick performer in sex.
I had calculated from videos that, apart from foreplay, it was just a matter of seconds.
He must have played with too many women, wearing himself out.
He probably even struggled to maintain it with medication.
The media conference process was boring. An old man was the chairman, followed by representatives from various major TV stations, who droning on for over an hour!
I almost fell asleep during this process.
Feeling bored and needing to use the restroom, I got up to get some fresh air.
As soon as I left the venue, Steven also walked out, accompanied by Katherine!
Katherine was surprised to see me, so was I.
With them coming out together, I could easily guess they were up to something!
Was Linda not going to intervene?
Katherine didn't expect me to enter the hotel.
Then she and Steven distanced themselves a bit, and we both tacitly remained silent.
I entered the men's restroom, and Katherine entered the women's restroom. Steven, not recognizing me, went to a corner to urinate.
I also pretended not to know him, unzipping my pants next to him.
