Chapter 1170 No One Wins
Meanwhile, at the design department.
The moment Arielle entered, she ordered the door to be sealed. Once she was sure no one would barge in, she said, “The bionic arms have arrived, and they’re currently in my house’s storage area. It’s safe there.”
Upon hearing that, the designers could finally heave sighs of relief.
The leader of the lot was a man named Kimi. At that moment, his eyes were red.
Rubbing his eyes, he said, “When I saw that the press conference did not get postponed, and there was no action on your end, I was so scared. Now it’s all good again. There’s nothing for us to worry about!”
Arielle smiled. “Since I have promised to resolve your production issues, I will make sure it happens.”
Kimi nodded fervently and asked, “Can we have a look at the bionic arms?”
“Sure.” With that, Arielle gave Sasha a video call.
The call only got answered after a few rings.
In the video, they could see the workers moving the bionic arms and Sasha instructing them.
The bionic arms should have been delivered on the same day she returned from Lightspring. However, due to the weather condition, they were only sent out the night before and had only just arrived.
Arielle linked the video to the screen in the conference room so that everyone could see it. “Sasha, did the shipping order tally with the goods?”
Sasha acknowledged with a “yes” and said, “Everything has been verified according to your instruction. Half of them are already in the warehouse.”
As Sasha was speaking, she pointed the camera at the staff.
The workers were very careful when they were moving the bionic arms so that they would not damage them.
Although everyone could only see the external packaging of the bionic arms, it was sufficient.
“All right. I got it. Thank you for your hard work.”
Arielle ended the video call and looked at all of them in the conference room. “Did you get a good look?”
Everyone nodded and said, “So now, can we set out for the press conference?”
Arielle shook her head. “We are going to the press conference but not the original one.”
Although she did not say anything, it did not mean she was not aware.
Jacob had tried to make things difficult for them by preventing the local factories from accepting their production orders. At the same time, he refused to postpone the press conference. He was obviously out to humiliate her in front of everybody.
Since Jacob had put in so much effort to make a fool out of her, how could she disappoint him?
All of them looked at Arielle, who had an enigmatic smile on her face, and it sent chills down their spines. They were all thinking the same thing—Luckily, we are on her side.
At ten in the morning, the press conference was about to start.
Most of the reporters had already arrived, so did Jacob.
The press conference was held at a five-star hotel, and the venue looked very grand indeed.
Jacob asked his assistant, “Is the live streaming ready?”
His assistant replied without delay, “It has all been set up. We can start the live streaming at any moment.”
Jacob nodded and asked, “Where is that woman? Is she here yet?”
“No. Her designers aren’t here either.”
Jacob laughed out loud. “They don’t even have the bionic arms. Yet, they are having a product launch. No wonder they don’t dare to show up.”
His assistant hesitated before responding, “But, isn’t this a lose-lose situation for us too? The bionic arms will surely bring us lots of profits. If we disrupt this event, aren’t you worried that you will suffer a loss too?”
“A loss?” Jacob chuckled. “How can there be a loss?”
