Chapter 41: It's Your Great-Aunt!

Perhaps because he was too proud, Qi Tong didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong for a moment, and he took out his phone and opened the media software to show Lu Jinzhao on his own.

"General Lu Zong, look, our press conference occupies seven of the top ten hot searches. It is definitely the hottest news today. The peak number of online live broadcast viewers exceeded 20 million, directly breaking the previous record, and the sponsors are particularly satisfied."

Seeing Qi Tong being so unobservant, Lu Jinzhao felt his eyelids twitch with anger. He slapped Qi Tong's hand away and glared at him: "Are you proud? Did I scold Wang Rui and not scold you? What are you being complacent about here?"

Qi Tong's smile froze on his face. He didn't understand the situation for a moment, and didn't know how General Lu Zong's sudden temper came about.

He blinked inexplicably: "It's not General Lu Zong, what's wrong with you? This effect has already exceeded our previous expectations. Are you still not satisfied?"

"I'm not satisfied with your head!" Lu Jinzhao gritted his teeth and asked: "Are you blind that there was one less person at the press conference? Where is the person!"

"Person?" Qi Tong didn't react at the moment, staring blankly and saying: "General Lu Zong, what are you talking about? What person..."

"I f***..."

Lu Jinzhao wished he could give Qi Tong, who was in front of him, a big slap on the spot. Just as he was about to get angry, Wang Rui, the person in charge of the press conference, came.

He ran to the front, panting, and pulled Qi Tong aside with one hand, panting and saying: "General Lu Zong, I'm here."

Just now, he had returned to the company, but General Lu Zong called him back again with a phone call.

Wang Rui was much more observant than Qi Tong. At first glance, he noticed Shen Ci, who had a cold expression on the side, and hurriedly apologized: "Miss Shen, right? This is our fault. I'm really sorry."

"Of course it's your fault. Could it be my sister's fault?" Shen Ci said with an unkind tone.

Wang Rui nodded repeatedly: "But look, the press conference is already over. Can you give us a chance? I guarantee that all our work will be cautious and cautious in the future, and such a situation will never happen again today."

Shen Ci turned her head slightly to look at Lu Jinzhao. That look was gloomy and intimidating, which made Lu Jinzhao understand 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 reacted immediately and said: "Miss Shen, let's talk in the back. It's messy here in the front."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. Shen Ci didn't say much, lifted her feet and walked to the backstage. Lu Jinzhao glared at Wang Rui and Qi Tong before hurriedly following.

Wang Rui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to leave when he was hurriedly stopped by Qi Tong. Qi Tong asked nervously and surprisingly: "It's not Brother Rui, who is this girl?"

"It's your great-aunt!" Wang Rui pointed at Qi Tong and scolded: "You f***ing caused a big disaster, pray for your own blessings!"

Hearing this, Qi Tong was stunned.

What's the situation?

Backstage, Lu Jinzhao personally moved a sofa chair for Shen Ci to sit on, and he moved a small chair to sit on the side.

"Tell me, what exactly happened." Lu Jinzhao took out the momentum of a superior and stared at Wang Rui and Qi Tong and asked.

As the person in charge of this press conference, no matter what problems occur in this press conference, even if it is not his reason, he has to take responsibility in the end.

So he hesitated for a moment and took the lead: "It was our negligence in work, General Lu Zong. 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 lame excuses to fob off Miss Shen. Just say what the facts are. I want to hear the truth!"

Saying that one person was missing and it was negligence, let alone Shen Ci not believing it, Lu Jinzhao himself could not believe it.

Wang Rui's eyes dodged, and he secretly glanced at Shen Ci twice. Although she didn't say a word, the air pressure around her was terrifyingly low.

This is the big investor of the project, the person that General Lu Zong has to offer, and he really can't afford to offend her.

"It... it's because the stage entry area of the press conference was insufficient, so we temporarily reduced a stage entry quota, thinking... thinking..."

"Thinking that Shen Li is a newcomer, so you picked the soft persimmon to pinch, right?" Seeing that Wang Rui couldn't say it for a long time, Shen Ci said coldly to help him finish.

Wang Rui was embarrassed and scared, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and nod, and hurriedly added: "Miss Shen, this is really a big misunderstanding. You say if I knew that Shen Li was behind you, even if you gave me ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to reduce her, right?"

He thought this reason was sufficient, and they also admitted that it was human-made reduction that reduced Shen Li. From the perspective of admitting mistakes, they also expressed very sincerely. Shen Ci, as an investor, even if she was angry in her heart, should also take the overall situation into account.

After all, the press conference is already over, and there is not much significance in pursuing it deeply.

However, Shen Ci did not have any improvement in her emotions because of Wang Rui's words, but was directly amused to the point of anger.

She stared at Wang Rui and asked: "Do you think I'm not very old, so I'm particularly easy to fool?"

"I... I didn't mean that, Miss Shen. How dare I fool you!" Wang Rui was terrified and cast a look for help at Lu Jinzhao.

Lu Jinzhao turned a blind eye to this. He knew that Miss Shen must get to the bottom of the matter today, so only when Miss Shen said she was satisfied could this matter end.

"Then I ask you, if you knew from the beginning that Shen Li was my sister, who would you choose to reduce the stage entry quota in the end?"

"Third male lead Song Anyu? Second female lead Ren Jia and Gao Fei? Or fourth male lead Sun Yalun?"

Shen Ci's tone seemed calm, but in fact, it was full of pressure.

After Wang Rui opened his mouth, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing this, Shen Ci sneered and replaced him: "You wouldn't reduce anyone at all, because these actors are well-known actors, and no one's team would allow their own actors not to be able to go on stage. Once it makes a scene, your press conference will not be able to proceed smoothly."

"So you would try every means to stuff all the actors onto the stage and into the lens. But you are a professional team, and you wouldn't let this kind of chaotic situation happen at all."

"Then there is only one answer left, and that is that the reason 'the stage can't hold so many people' is purely bullshit. I will find someone to restore the press conference stage one-to-one right now, and find the same number of people to stand on it. If it really can't hold it, I won't say another word. I will bow my head and apologize to you, and add five thousand investment!"

"But what if it can hold so many people? Can you two bear the consequences? Hmm?" ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
