Chapter 1174 Despised By The Press
Jacob’s face turned black as thunder. Nevertheless, he bit the bullet, got into the car, and headed for the press conference venue.
On the way there, Jacob calmed down and regained his composure.
What could Arielle achieve in the end?
Even though Arielle was brilliant, she could not perform magic. For someone who had never manufactured a bionic arm before, to call for a press conference was like laying a trap for herself.
“This girl is just too gullible!” Jacob sneered. “She thinks she has made a comeback, but she doesn’t realize that without a new product to launch, the media and consumers will see it as a scam! That brat really shot herself in the foot!”
In contrast to Jacob’s confidence, his assistant was worried.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Campbell, what if Arielle has already produced the items? Perhaps she has secured the services of another factory and made the bionic arms? Wouldn’t we have to take responsibility for incompetence, as the contract says?
Without hesitating to consider the questions, Jacob replied, “That is absolutely impossible!”
He had already bribed all the AI processing factories in Jadeborough so that no factory would produce bionic arms for Arielle.
As for the processing plants outside Jadeborough, none of them were comparable in quality.
If Arielle were to approach those factories in other provinces, making something as complex as a bionic arm would only result in the products malfunctioning sooner or later.
Even if she could get through with the press conference, she would still get into trouble when the quality of the products was inferior.
“But…” The assistant was hesitant. “I’m still uneasy about this.”
“Well, you can stop talking and put your heart back in its proper place instead of your throat. This darned girl is doing this because she’s furious at me for not delaying the product launch. She is also mad at me for bribing all the factories. When one is furious, one cannot make logical decisions.”
He was precisely that at the press conference earlier when he lost his cool.
He had calmed down by now, and all he had to do next was watch how much the press would despise Arielle!
Shortly after, the reporters arrived at the venue of the press conference by car.
The venue of the conference was located at Grandview Hotel, and the preparation and decor of the venue were more luxurious and tasteful than the previous conference. Most of all, it did not give guests the feeling of a nouveau riche.
As soon as the news reporters entered, they could feel the impression of being ahead of the times.
Various decorations full of futuristic elements added a high-tech atmosphere to the conference.
The reporters could not help but praise, “This venue is really grand!”
At that moment, Jacob just happened to walk in, and he sneered when he heard that.
What is the point of preparing a well-decorated venue if she has no products?
Where are the bionic arms?
I don’t see them!
Meanwhile, Arielle was on the stage, having a discussion with the company’s designers.
Jacob went onstage wearing an angry expression and berated in a low voice, “Ms. Moore, what the devil are you doing? Why wasn’t I informed about this press conference?”
Arielle continued to put on an act. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “I was about to ask you, Mr. Campbell. Everyone in the AI design department knew that the venue was Grandview Hotel. Why did you invite the media to go to another place? It is your responsibility to contact reporters. Aren’t you being negligent?”
Jacob’s expression immediately changed from triumphant to a furious one.
“Arielle, you—”
Jacob was about to blow his top when his assistant immediately signaled to him.
Jacob looked in the direction his assistant was gesturing at and realized that the reporters’ cameras were all pointed toward him and Arielle.
