Chapter 188 The Press Conference
There were several documents arranged on Victor's desk, which were the ideas that he came up with. At this moment, Melinda came in and he waved to tell her to come over.
"Have a look at these plans, which one is more suitable?" Melinda looked through the documents carefully, and found that they were almost the same. She had thought that they needed to discuss with each other about a solution, but she didn't expect that Victor had quietly finished these things.
"Then just hold the press conference. But I prefer to mediate with her in private."
Melinda put her finger on a document. She was about to call for a press conference to clarify this matter, but she didn't want to make the matter too embarrassing, so she hoped that she could have a private mediation with Sandy.
Both of them would be mentally prepared.
"Melinda, I hope you know that I am on your side on this matter, but from the company's perspective, I do not agree with your decision."
Sandy was the writer of the rival company. This time, the opponent's attitude was to fight hard against Victor's company. He wouldn't revenge with kindness.
After pondering for a while, Melinda agreed with Victor. Sandy seemed to have a bad character, and if she changed her mind, the effects would be reduced a lot. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
In order to deal with this kind of problem, they needed the help of people from the public relations department. Finally, Victor called the manager of public relations department here and spent the whole morning discussing the final plan.
"Okay. It's settled then. As it took a long time, we don't have much time to prepare. It's probably the day after tomorrow." The manager of public relations department reminded Melinda. She nodded to show
her full cooperation.
That person left the office with the laptop without saying more. After that, Melinda also proposed to leave. The people from the public relations department were still very efficient, so in the afternoon, the news was released to Melinda that the press conference would be held tomorrow morning.
The media they invited were all familiar with their company. They knew how to deal with it. The manager was afraid that Melinda would be too nervous to speak well. He even handed a speech to Melinda.
The speech proposed by the public relations department was strict. In this way, no one would have the chance to find fault with her.
Putting aside her speech, Melinda had memorized the general content of the article. Stretching lazily, she took her nightgown and prepared to take a shower before going to bed. She had to face the media with the best appearance tomorrow.
However, Melinda was a little hesitant. After hesitation, she still called the Gu's mansion.
The person who answered the phone was Gavin. He was so careful that he had kept the phone number of Melinda in his mind. He greeted her kindly over the phone.
"Good evening, Mrs. Melinda."
"Gavin, is Grandpa asleep?" Hearing the title given by Gavin, Melinda frowned, and then she went straight into the topic.
Although Nelson had a phone, no one answered the call. For a long time, the servants in the villa were mostly busy looking for Nelson's phone.
"Nelson is in the study. Mrs. Melinda, please wait a moment," Gavin said. The phone was quietly placed aside, and he personally looked for Nelson in the study. Hearing that it was a call from Melinda, Nelson walked faster.
"Linda." Nelson greeted her before he picked up the microphone. Hearing that, Melinda could almost imagine how Nelson would look like now. She laughed out loud.
As usual, Melinda first cared about Nelson's health and chatted with him about the daily life. She didn't speak until she was about to hang up, "Grandpa, I found evidence to clarify the plagiarism. We'll hold a press conference the day after tomorrow."
At the thought of Nelson's worried face, Melinda felt deeply sorry for him. Eventually, she called him and reported her conditions.
"What time do you plan to hold the meeting tomorrow? Grandpa will be there to support you,"
Nelson said in a domineering way, which never changed from the beginning to the end. Touched by his strong support, Melinda said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I can handle it."
'I have become stronger, ' she added in her heart. Nelson didn't force her. He told her something before they hung up.
"Hey, boy, why are you standing here with a long face? Are you trying to frighten me?"
Nelson hung up the phone, raised his head with a walking stick and saw Jonas's unchanged face in front of him. With a poor heart, he couldn't help but cover his chest to relieve it.
"Is it from Linda?" asked Jonas. Thinking of her leaving unhappily last time, he felt regretful.
He wanted to apologize to Melinda and begged for forgiveness, but she ignored him.
"Yes. Linda said that she had found evidence and she would hold a press conference to clarify it the day after tomorrow." Nelson was also clear that Jonas had been concerned about this matter, so he said it directly. But when he looked at Jonas, there was obvious displeasure in his eyes.
His grandson was getting more and more inefficient. Even Linda had found evidence to prove herself, but he had nothing to do with the case.
Nelson knew nothing about their meeting. If he knew it, he must be exasperated at Jonas's failure.
"Got it," said Jonas unhappily. Looking at his dull appearance, Nelson sighed and didn't say much. After Jonas returned to his villa, he quickly arranged his men to investigate the matter.
Victor had invited a lot of media in the name of the company and held a press conference for Melinda the day after tomorrow. The heat of the press conference had not completely disappeared. At this time, everyone was excited.
Looking at the direction of the comments online, Jonas found that there was someone secretly spreading the rumor. It must be someone from the public relations department who was responsible for it.
Even so, many netizens slandered Melinda. What the hell was going on that it took Melinda a long time to come out to deal with this matter?
In a word, the netizens could write several books with their strong imagination.
After thinking for a long time, Jonas thought that he could release the record in this press conference. Then Sandy's words would be unconvincing.
At the same time, Sandy and Emily also received the news. Sandy became even more afraid. Obviously, Victor had nothing to fear since he had been so high-profile.
Did they find a chance to turn over? With her mind in a rush, Sandy couldn't help but think of Jonas, who was so powerful that made her feel scared to death.
With Jonas's help, it would be a piece of cake for Melinda to regain her power again.
Sandy was walking around like a headless fly at home. With sweat on her forehead, half of her hand was full of sweat as she wanted to wipe off her sweat.
She felt that her heart was controlled and it was difficult for her to breathe. She was like a person who was walking on a desert under the scorching sun and didn't know where the destination was and whether it was hope or death in the next second.
Sandy had been writing for many years, so she habitually put herself in the position of a ruler. Now she realized that her own innocence was ridiculous.
Then Sandy rushed out of the room with her phone in her hand.
She deeply felt that she couldn't hold on any longer, and the only ally she could think of was only Emily.
Emily's house was not a secret, but it had taken her some time to get here. When Sandy walked up to the door, she felt that she didn't even have the strength to ring the doorbell.
It was Emily's assistant who opened the door. She looked at the person outside in confusion, and felt that she couldn't match the character in her mind. She couldn't help but be on the alert.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
There were many powerful figures in the entertainment circle. The assistant was afraid that the person in front of her might be a big figure she had never seen before, so her tone was naturally more polite. Sandy licked her dry lips and then said with a little hoarse, "I'm looking for Emily."
"Who is it? Why did it take you so long to open the door?" Emily's voice came out from inside, and the eyes of Sandy instantly lit up. She shouted at the person inside, "Miss Bai, it's me, Sandy Zhang."
Emily stopped at once, and then made a gesture to the assistant. The assistant walked to the side, leaving room for Sandy to enter.
Sandy walked into the room, with an envious look in her eyes. Although Emily was not popular now, she was still rich, and any of the items in the room could be as valuable as a payment of an article of her.
"What do you want from me?"
Emily crossed her legs and picked up the snacks on the table, which indistinctly showed her cleavage. She liked to show her charm in front of others.
She didn't speak, and Sandy stood there somewhat perplexed. Her hands held around her big shirt, and her heart was still fluttering with fear. "Have you watched the news? Melinda will hold a press conference about the first draft."
"Really? The first draft conference sounds interesting," Emily said with a sneer. She did not take it seriously at all. Sandy had a bad feeling from Emily's attitude, and what Emily said next proved her guess.
"Are you here to ask for my help? Do you writers always like unrealistic ideas?" Emily said sarcastically, beating up all the men in the literary ship.
"What do you mean?" In recent years, Sandy had made a lot of work and always wanted to make contribution to it. But it was undeniable that she liked to write. Emily's sarcasm made her unhappy.
However, no one cared about her mood at the moment. Emily slowly ate a cherry, the crystal red seemed to merge with her red lips.
"I say you deserve it. If you listen to me and sue Melinda, she will have no chance at all. Now you are exposed and come to beg me. Do you think I am the Savior?"
Her red lips moved as she spoke. She looked like a savior, but she was not capable of doing that.
Emily liked to be a person in charge of the whole situation. She detested the disobedient chess piece, just like Sandy.
