Translator: 549690339

Sayon, Wenx Hotel, the press release venue of the Jones Group.

After a round of adjustments, the pre-meeting preparations of the media reporters were essentially complete. Now all that was left to do was wait for the press conference to begin.

“Miss Jones, all our preparations have been completed, we can start at any time.” Carlos personally approached Sherry and began to report.

At this time, he already knew that the mysterious Mr. Mitchell was Sherry’s adoptive brother.

Knowing this, Carlos dared not neglect Sherry.

“Director Carlos, could you please wait a moment? We are waiting for an important test report, it might take a little longer…” Sherry spoke regretfully.

Before she could finish speaking, Elijah Bailey, who had just been ordered to contact the testing station, returned joyfully.

“Miss Jones, I’ve made contact with the testing station. Their Vice Director is almost here. He will help us interpret the contents of the test report from a professional perspective.

He doesn’t want to delay us, so he asked us to start without waiting for him.” Elijah Bailey said excitedly.

Hearing this, Carlos nodded approvingly: “That’s excellent, having a professional interpret the results, combined with our publication, will definitely make the efforts more effective.

Miss Jones, rest assured, this whole situation was caused by those two scumbags from our Sayon TV station, I guarantee you.

We at the Sayon TV station will do everything we can to help the Jones Group regain its image!”

Wow!

On hearing Carlos’s pledge, Sherry’s face instantly lit up with excitement, even more so than when she heard Elijah’s news.

After expressing her gratitude, Sherry didn’t hesitate any longer, stepped onto the stage, and announced the start of the press conference in front of everyone.

Sherry on the stage, donned an intellectual and competent demeanor, radiating the charm of a professional working woman from the inside out.

Putting aside her professional abilities for a moment, after these past few days of trials, Sherry had indeed developed a certain aura of a powerful businesswoman.

At this moment, when she stood on the stage, she exuded a distinguished presence.

Then, Sherry began to interpret the relevant content of the press conference.

This included discussing a series of recent rumors and internet issues.

During her presentation, Sherry frequently glanced towards the entrance of the conference hall. Clearly, she was timing her speech to pass the baton to the Vice Director from the testing center that Elijah had invited.

Finally, after about seven or eight minutes into the press conference, Sherry on the stage noticed that Elijah was enthusiastically going over towards the entrance.

And at the entrance, a somewhat greasy-looking middle-aged man was casually making his appearance.

Although Sherry doesn’t judge people by their appearance, this middle-aged man at the entrance somehow gave her the impression of a sly worldly-wise man.

However, Sherry didn’t worry about this too much. After all, as Elijah had told her, this testing station’s Vice Director was a man driven by money.

Sherry didn’t think much further and directly addressed the reporters: “To prove that our Jones Group’s cosmetics have absolutely no problems whatsoever,

We specifically sent our newest products to the testing station for professional testing, and today, we are fortunate to have the Vice Director of the testing station here.

He will present the specific composition of our product from a professional standpoint, now let’s please welcome the Vice Director from the testing station.”

Clap, clap, clap…

Led by the staff of the Jones Group, the people instantly set off thunderous applause at the scene.

The Vice Director saw this and, with a triumphant expression, slowly walked towards the small stage. Judging by his expression, he appeared to revel in the feeling of being admired by everyone.

In no time, the Vice Director stood in Sherry’s original position, gestured pompously with both hands to calm down the crowd, showing the demeanor of someone used to big events.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the press, first of all, allow me to introduce myself. I am Cole, the Vice Director at the Sayon Cosmetic Testing Station. Some years ago….”

Once on stage, instead of taking out the test report immediately, Cole, enjoying himself very much, began to elaborate on his background, experiences, and past achievements.

“Is this guy here to hold an awards ceremony for himself?” Seeing this, the employees of the Jones Group couldn’t help but mutter among themselves, showing expressions that were a mix of laughter and tears.

At that moment, seeing this situation, Elijah’s face also looked somewhat awkward and could only grit his teeth and explain, “Perhaps Vice Director Cole wants to first prove his professional level, so that’s why…”

Before he had finished, Elijah found it hard to continue. After all, Cole was bragging about things from when he was a student. It all boiled down to two words: show off!

Seeing this, everyone was a little speechless, and the reporters below even started showing signs of irritation, wishing they could fast-forward and have Cole finish his speech.

Finally, after about ten minutes, Cole eventually finished recounting his ‘glorious history’ and wore a satisfied expression.

Not only the people at the Jones Group found it annoying, even Will Jones thought he was wasting time. Why didn’t he just take out the test report and finish off the Jones Group?

Will Jones rolled his eyes in annoyance, then heard that Cole on the stage was finally going to get to the point.

Cole cleared his throat ceremoniously, took out a file bag with a document inside, opened it earnestly, and then faced the document towards the journalists’ cameras.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the press, this is our testing station’s test results for a Jones Group cosmetic sample. According to our professional testing,

The Jones Group’s cosmetics mainly exceed the standard for eight heavy metals, five of which can cause cancer if used for a long period, three can induce…”

What…???

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent!

The employees of the Jones Group stood dumbfounded, utterly stunned by what they heard.

The journalists seated below were also startled, having trouble processing the news.

What happened?

Wasn’t he here to clear the Jones Group’s name?

Why are the test results like this?

With the heavy metal content exceeding the standard by eight times, isn’t this tantamount to sentencing the Jones Group to death?

Wow!

The people who snapped out of it instantly set off a tumultuous noise in the hall, and a look of astonishment was evident on everyone’s faces.

The next moment, an alert Elijah rolled up his sleeves, seething with rage, and charged towards the stage: “Shut up! Cole, you son of a bitch, shut up!

You took my money and now you’re biting the hand that feeds you? I’ll tear you apart!!!”
