The scene was abuzz with anticipation, like a tide about to surge. Even before the start of this press conference, the Chester Group and Nance Group, two major corporations, had already poured in more than a billion in promotional fees to drum up momentum. Now, not only the East Coast but the whole nation knew that Mimi and Lindsay Windson would be endorsing new products on the same day. One was Amerosia’s top actress, and the other was the hottest rising star! This clash between the old and new was causing a sensation throughout the entertainment industry.
The event attracted not only over a hundred thousand fans but also thousands of journalists from major entertainment media outlets. It was on par with a heavyweight entertainment awards ceremony. Chris Shelby looked up at the scene across the room where the Nance Group’s press conference was being held. This time, Yvonne Rainey single-handedly organized the Nance Group’s conference. As the president of Nance Group, Candace Nance never got involved in specific affairs. She just needed to steer the company’s general direction.
The reason why so many people came, to a large extent, was because Yvonne Rainey had pulled strings to hype up the event! While boosting her own momentum, she could also let more people see Chester Group’s embarrassment. One had to admit, she was a cunning woman. Chris Shelby turned to Lindsay Windson and said, “Just make an appearance later, and I will arrange for your security.” Lindsay Windson nodded, not refusing. After all, with so many fans coming this time, there might be some fanatics among them. For Lindsay Windson’s safety, Chris Shelby had to be 100% ready!
Esther was somewhat nervous. However, she had done all she could. The rest was up to fate. She glanced at Chris Shelby. The calm and composed look on his face gave her a lot of confidence! Esther said expectantly, “I hope we can have a good start!” This was Chester Group’s best opportunity to establish its dominant position in southern business. If they could win this battle, Chester Group could expand north!
Meanwhile, Yvonne Rainey was also watching the situation in both venues. “I have invited many people here, and all the media reporters have come.” “I have instructed them to release the report as soon as the press conference is over.” An assistant came over and respectfully reported. Yvonne Rainey nodded satisfactorily, “I know!” With Jake Johnson’s help, this time, she not only wanted Chester Group to lose, but also wanted Esther to lose face in front of everyone!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the two venues was reaching a fever pitch. The security outside was on the verge of being overwhelmed. “Everyone, please don’t push! Don’t push!” “The stars will be out soon, please be careful!” Even the thousands of security personnel at the press conference site could not suppress the fans’ enthusiasm. The fans, for their idols, were risking their lives!
“This time, our goddess Mimi will surely win at the press conference!” “How could that be? Mimi is past her prime, Lindsay Windson is our goddess!” “You guys stop arguing, we will know who is better when they come out, right?” The fans from both sides started arguing again.
Suddenly, the lights came on. Everyone fell silent. Esther walked out from behind the curtain, straight to the front of the stage. The audience was stunned at sight of her. “Who is she?” “How come we’ve never seen her?” “She is so beautiful! Just too beautiful!” Everyone was dumbfounded.
