Chapter 741
Everyone in the company knew that Yana Norangel and Zara Wentworth did not get along, and he was indeed on Yana Norangel’s side.
After all, Yana Norangel was not given to him halfway like Zara Wentworth. Instead, he had nurtured Yana Norangel from a pure newcomer. In addition, Yana Norangel was obedient and willing to accompany him to the wine party. Naturally, he was more concerned about Yana Norangel. However, this did not mean that Yana Norangel could attack Zara Wentworth without his permission. Otherwise, where would his authority as an agent go? Yana Norangel met Thomas Bush’s questioning gaze and said very frankly, “Thomas, then you’ve misunderstood me! If I attacked her, could I not have told you in advance? “Besides, even if I really attacked her behind your back, I wouldn’t snatch her social media account and post for her. Have you forgotten that she was exposed? This has nothing to do with me!”
Thomas Bush took a good look at Yana Norangel. Two seconds later, he looked away and said, “Alright, I believe you.”
Of course, the most important thing was that Yana Norangel did not have such good acting skills.
Herbathrive backyard.
After Zara Wentworth hung up, She turned on her phone.
When she saw the overwhelming scandal and the moving picture posted by the haters in the comments section, her face instantly turned pale.
How could it be… who had taken it?
Zara Wentworth suddenly remembered that when Fox took her photo, someone in the crowd asked if she was Zara Wentworth.
After denying it, she rushed in, so she thought that the other party would not pursue this matter further. Unexpectedly, that person was her anti-fan!
In all honesty, although she had taken a photo first before posting, this pasta was really delicious. Moreover, she was only helping her friend advertise. How could there be an advertisement fee and unprofessionalism?
The other party was clearly here to defame her.
But even so, this matter would not make it to the top of the trending list.
Zara Wentworth quickly scrolled through the social media website and saw that there was also a trending topic “Yana Norangel hand skimming likes Zara Wentworth on the trending list.
She probably knew why there were so many false scandals and why it was the top trending topic.
In order to avoid worrying Melody, Zara Wentworth tried her best to compose herself. She pretended to be relaxed and said to Melody Fox, “Melody, I’ve packed the pasta. I’ll go back first. I also have an appointment with a line teacher tonight.”
Melody quickly put down what she was doing and said, I’ll send you.”
“No need, no need. My assistant drove here. You do what you need to do.”
Zara Wentworth refused and left with a bag of pasta.
She was an actress after all. Zara Wentworth did not reveal any clues throughout the entire process, so Melody did not notice anything wrong with her.
In addition, Dorrene Downey’s daughter accidentally knocked over something and was so frightened that she cried. Dorrene Downey happened to go to the toilet, so she could not care less and walked over to coax the child.
“Cindy, don’t cry. It’s fine. It’s just a bowl…”
Zara Wentworth quickly walked to the door and turned to look at Herbathrive. She bowed and got into the car.
It wasn’t easy for her to help Melody once. She couldn’t make things difficult for Melody again.
“Drive to Swanson Universal Entertainment.”
The assistant also knew the whole story. She nodded and stepped on the accelerator.
Soon, Zara Wentworth arrived at the company.
Without any reason, Thomas Bush scolded her fiercely. Then, he ordered, “Go to the dressing room to do your makeup and hair. Call a press conference after you’re done and apologize for your stupid actions.”
However, this time, Zara Wentworth gritted her teeth and raised her head. “I’m not going.”
Thomas Bush didn’t believe his ears for a moment.
“What did you say?”
Zara Wentworth clenched her fists and said again, “I can attend the press conference, but I won’t apologize. I didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t need to apologize to anyone.” “Huh?!”
Thomas Bush was so angry that he laughed.
He walked around Zara Wentworth with his arms crossed and mocked, “Zara Wentworth, don’t think that you can look down on me just because you acted in a movie that has a chance of winning an award. Don’t tell me you really think that you can soar into the sky without my management? I’ ve seen countless arrogant artists, but I’ve never seen such an arrogant artist.”
“You took on that kind of unpresentable advertisement on your own and caused such a big trouble. It’s fine if you don’ t repent, but you don’t even obey the arrangements. Let me ask you, do you want to go to heaven? Do you believe that I’ Il ban you immediately?!”
Zara Wentworth’s calves trembled slightly, but she still dared to say, “I didn’t accept the advertisement. That’s pasta made by my friend. And pasta is really delicious.”
“Delicious? You didn’t even try it and just took a photo and posted it?”
“I tasted it! Not only did I taste it, but I also ate two big bowls and left with two bags! Thomas, please believe me. I really just want to help my friend advertise. Moreover, her pasta isn’t for sale at all. It’s just a gift to repay everyone. If I apologize, it’s equivalent to admitting that I’m not professional enough to accept money and advertise. I really can’t apologize!”
The only thing she did wrong was that she shouldn’t have been in a hurry to post before she tasted it.
Melody told her to post the Fox post after it ended. However, she was too anxious and posted it as soon as pasta left the stall.
If she had known this would happen, she would have listened to Melody.
“Stop quibbling! Let me ask you, do you choose to be banned or to apologize?”
Zara Wentworth was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to refuse, a voice suddenly sounded from the door.
“She’ll be at the press conference.”
Zara Wentworth’s back stiffened as she looked at the door in disbelief.
Melody Fox suddenly appeared in front of Thomas Bush and said, “Go prepare for the press conference. It will begin after everything is settled.”
“Melody? Why are you here?” Zara Wentworth rubbed her eyes in shock to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her eyes.
“Silly girl, how can I not come after such a big thing has happened? You were defamed because you wanted to help me. Can I sit back and do nothing?”
“But…” Zara Wentworth was about to speak when Thomas Bush interrupted her.
“Who are you?”
Melody Fox looked sideways at Thomas Bush’s probing and disgusted gaze and said, “I’m Zara Wentworth’s friend. She was slandered because she wanted to help me promote pasta.”
Thomas Bush’s eyes were filled with disbelief as he turned to look at Zara Wentworth.
“You really didn’t take on the advertisement on your own?”
“It really isn’t!” Zara Wentworth almost swore to the heavens.
Thomas Bush laughed and said speechlessly, “Zara Wentworth, although you’re not an A-list celebrity now, you’ re still considered a C- or D-list celebrity. You’re actually helping a commoner do free publicity. Are you crazy?”
He really thought that Zara Wentworth was quibbling.
Zara Wentworth bit her lower lip and asked tentatively,” Then can I not apologize?”
Thomas Bush curled his lips and said coldly, “It’s up to you whether you want to apologize or not, but you have to hold a press conference. I’m kindly reminding you that the Internet has no memory. If you apologize directly, everyone will quickly lose interest in discussing it. However, if you don’t explain it well or don’t convince everyone, the side effects will only be greater. Think about it yourself!”
Chapter 742
Based on his experience as a top manager, a direct apology would make passers-by think that she was sincere.
The current online public opinion was no longer the same as before. A false scandal could be scolded to death. Instead, it was easier to apologize directly.
At most, he would buy the manuscript to clear his name later. Anyway, as long as he did not go against the netizens and anti-fans at the center of the storm, things would quickly turn around.
Zara Wentworth lowered her head silently. She was also conflicted.
This was not the first time she had entered this industry. She knew that what Thomas Bush said was not unreasonable.
However, if she were to admit all the dirt and apologize to everyone in front of the camera, she would probably suffer internal injuries.
“You decide for yourself! I’ll inform the media first. After half an hour, I’ll go to the lobby on the second floor of the company to attend the press conference!”
With that, Thomas Bush made a call.
“Where is your dressing room?” Melody Fox asked. “Downstairs…” Zara Wentworth said as she led the way. On the way, Zara Wentworth kept apologizing guiltily. “Melody, I’m sorry. I really feel so useless… Why can’t I do such a small thing well?”
Melody Fox shook her head. “I was inconsiderate in this matter. I shouldn’t have let you advertise for me.”
“No, that’s not it. It’s all my problem. The pasta post you instructed me at the beginning was for me to post after pasta distribution. But I wanted to help you so much that I posted it in advance. I… I’m really useless!”
Melody Fox said disapprovingly, “Those who want to defame you, even if you post later, will find a way to defame you. I’ve seen all the posts online. It’s obvious that those defames were deliberately prepared for you. Even if there isn’t this time, there will be a next time.”
Zara Wentworth bit her lip and mentioned Yana Norangel’s name.
“If I’m not wrong, she must have something to do with this. It’s my fault for not listening to you. I really thought that she had turned over a new leaf…”
Melody Fox was very happy that Zara Wentworth finally saw Yana Norangel clearly.
If this incident could make Zara Wentworth’s heart tougher, it would not be a bad thing.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let her step on you!
Melody Fox’s eyes were firm, but Zara Wentworth was still uneasy.
No one could explain the direction of public opinion online. It was uncontrollable.
When they arrived at the company’s dressing room, the two of them realized that there was no makeup artist inside.
After asking the staff next door, they found out that Yana Norangel was going to shoot an advertisement and had taken all the makeup artists away.
“Thank you. I understand. I’ll do my own makeup.
Zara Wentworth bowed her head in thanks and brought Melody Fox back to the dressing room.
“It’s Yana Norangel again…”
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows slightly. This person was really looking for an opportunity to mock Zara Wentworth. “Why don’t I call Wilmot Sherman and ask if he’s available?”
Zara Wentworth quickly shook her head. “It’s not just for the press conference. The makeup doesn’t need to be very exquisite. Don’t trouble Mr. Sherman.”
Letting a big shot like Wilmot Sherman put on makeup for her on such an occasion was equivalent to using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
In order to prevent Melody Fox, from looking for Wilmot Sherman, Zara Wentworth quickly started to put on his own makeup.
Seeing this, Melody Fox did not insist, but she did not stay idle either. She began to use WhatsApp to contact the person she should contact.
By the time Zara Wentworth’s makeup was almost done, it was almost done.
However, she still had to ask the person involved for their opinion on how to resolve the matter.
“Have you thought about it? Do you choose to apologize or explain the truth?”
“I…” Zara Wentworth bit her lip hard as her eyes slowly turned red.
Right at that moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Thomas Bush’s voice-
“The reporters are almost here. I’ll go down first. You’ll be down in two minutes.”
Okay.”
Zara Wentworth responded and clenched her fists tightly. Should she do as Thomas Bush said and apologize directly to let the storm pass as soon as possible, or should she face the pressure of public opinion and insist on herself? Melody looked at Zara Wentworth who was still in a dilemma. She was not in a hurry and just waited patiently.
Finally, Zara Wentworth raised her head and looked at her with bright eyes.
“Melody, I’ve decided. I didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t want to admit it, and I don’t need to apologize to anyone. I want to explain things clearly, even if public opinion might become even worse!”
Melody heaved a sigh of relief. Her lips curled up in relief as she said, “Zaza, I’m very happy that you have the courage.”
“Yes!” Zara Wentworth nodded hard and said, “Don’t go over, in case you are also affected by me. I know what to say.”
Although it was scary to face so many reporters alone, she still didn’t want Melody to get involved in this mess.
Melody waved her phone and smiled. “If I don’t go, wouldn’t I have worked for nothing just now?”
“Huh?”
Zara Wentworth did not notice what Melody Fox was busy with just now. Just as she was about to ask, Melody Fox had already grabbed her hand and said, “Your two minutes is up. Let’s go down.”
“Wait…” She quickly tried to stop Melody, but her strength was no match for Melody Fox’s strength. By the time she regained her senses, she had already been brought to the hall on the second floor.
The hall of Swanson Universal Entertainment was often used for various press conferences.
Last year’s annual meeting was also held here. The venue was very large. After entering, they turned right and saw a beautifully built podium.
Thomas Bush smiled at the reporters below the stage and said, “Thank you for taking the time to attend the press conference after being busy. I believe that everyone is here because of the trending topic on the Internet. I won’t waste everyone’s precious time. Let’s get straight to the point. Now, let Zara Wentworth personally explain to everyone what’s going on.”
After saying that, Thomas Bush turned to look at the door.
Zara Wentworth had never held such a press conference before. She immediately swallowed nervously.
“Let’s go.”
Behind her, Melody reminded her softly, “I will be by your side.”
Melody Fox’s existence gave Zara Wentworth great courage.
She no longer lowered her head and covered her chest.
Instead, she raised her head and strode towards Thomas Bush.
Thomas Bush looked at Zara Wentworth who was walking towards him. He had a vague feeling that something had changed in Zara Wentworth.
It was the feeling of a butterfly about to break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly.
Thomas Bush raised his eyebrows and scrutinized Zara Wentworth for the first time.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that Zara Wentworth was superior to Yana Norangel in terms of temperament and appearance.
However, She was too humble, so no one could sense her presence.
Thomas Bush could not help but secretly decide that if Zara Wentworth could perfectly resolve this crisis, he would not mind giving her a push.
Zara Wentworth had already walked to Thomas Bush’s side. Thomas Bush said in a low voice, “I forgot to tell you the process. Let’s greet everyone first and then answer their questions one by one.”
Zara Wentworth nodded and took the microphone from Thomas Bush.
Chapter 743
It was rare for Thomas Bush to calm down. He patted Zara Wentworth’s shoulder.
He was about to get off the stage when he saw Melody still standing beside Zara Wentworth. He immediately frowned.
So, did that idiot Zara Wentworth still choose to fight against public opinion?
It seemed that he had misjudged her.
In this line of work, how could one not have some ability to withstand pressure? One had to be as flexible as Yana Norangel to go far in this circle.
Thomas Bush pursed his lips and shook his head. He quickly walked down the stage.
Other than the reporters who came to the press conference, there were also people in charge of the live broadcast.
The live broadcast officially began.
Because Zara Wentworth was still at the top of the trending searches, a large number of viewers surged into the live- stream less than Seconds Fox.
The comments quickly filled the screen.
“What the hell? She’s already so embarrassed, yet she still has the cheek to hold a press conference?”
“I’m dying of laughter. Other celebrities take on branded advertisements, but she took on a pasta advertisement and was even faked. I’m really dying of laughter.”
“I want to see what this shameless person can say.”
“Families, come and watch the show! I heard that this woman’s sugar daddy has a powerful background and that sugar daddy has a wife!”
“F*ck! Is he that shameless?”
As the anti-fans and passers-by arrived,
The “Zealous” fans of Zara Wentworth also quickly entered the live stream of the press conference.
Most of them still believed that Zara Wentworth was definitely not the kind of person that the Internet said. The dirt was even more fake, but a portion of the fans had already begun to waver.
“Zaza, I hope you won’t let us down!”
“Sis, if you can’t explain it clearly today, I’ll immediately stop being your fan. I’ve been your fan for so many years. I really don’t want you to be the kind of person the Internet says you are.”
“I don’t care about the pasta incident anymore. I only hope that the scandals about being a kept woman and having plastic surgery on the Internet are fake. Humble fans have floated past.”
At the press conference.
Zara Wentworth nervously gripped the microphone in her hand. According to Thomas Bush, she first introduced herself to countless cameras.
“Hello everyone, I’m actress Zara Wentworth. Regarding some rumors about me today, I want to take this opportunity to explain to my fans and netizens.”
After the self-introduction, Thomas Bush indicated that the reporters could ask questions.
A male reporter sitting in the front row was the first to stand up and ask loudly, “Miss Zara Wentworth, some netizens have confirmed that you privately accepted a job to promote a certain brand pasta, but you didn’t even bother to fake it and directly took photos and posted it. May I ask if your actions have crossed everyone’s bottom line?”
Zara Wentworth spoke methodically under Melody Fox’s encouraging gaze.
“I have two answers to your question. First, I only posted that post to help my friend advertise. I didn’t charge any fees.”
“Secondly, regarding the fake food you mentioned, I did take photos first before eating pasta. But I can swear to God that my friend’s pasta is really delicious. I ate two big bowls after that.”
“Thirdly, the pasta that I promoted for my friend is not for sale at all, but for free. Therefore, I don’t accept any private work. Therefore, the comments online accusing me of taking money but not doing anything are even more ridiculous.”
The reporter chuckled and said, “Miss Wentworth, you said that you didn’t receive any money. Do you have any evidence? Also, you said that it’s free. Please show me the evidence.”
“Evidence…”
Zara Wentworth’s expression froze. She did not know how to prove that what she said was true.
However, with this hesitation, the viewers in the live stream quickly determined that Zara Wentworth was quibbling.
The reporter pressed on. “Since Miss Wentworth can’t produce evidence, you should apologize to those fans who trust you as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you take on advertisements in the future, who will believe that the product is really good?”
Zara Wentworth pursed her lips tightly.
If she did not explain the matter clearly today, the reporter’s words would be enough to prevent her from accepting any commercials in the future.
Just as Zara Wentworth was panicking, the microphone in her hand was suddenly taken away by Melody.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Zara Wentworth’s friend, Melody Fox.” The reporter was famous for being tricky. He immediately questioned, “Miss Wentworth, I’m asking you a question. Why is your friend here?”
Melody sneered and said, “Reporter, although I don’t know why you’re so sarcastic, there’s a reason why I’m here. Because I’m the advertiser you’re talking about. Zaza posted it for me.”
The reporter frowned. “What do you mean by Fox? I’m just…”
Melody did not give him a chance to continue speaking. She directly introduced herself, “I’m the person in charge of Herbathrive and also the person who made pasta. I can prove for Zara Wentworth that what she said just now is true.”
“Our Herbathrive is a traditional medicine clinic. The reason why our clinic made pasta is because it’s a new season recently, and the number of patients who come to the clinic to see the flu has increased. In order to increase everyone’ s immunity and give back to the patients who have always trusted our clinic, I gathered all the staff in the clinic and specially made pasta with Dr. Baxter to give to passersby and patients for free.”
“It can be said that Zara Wentworth is not the unprofessional person who advertises and takes private jobs behind the company’s back, but a person who is passionate about charity. She also hopes that her fans can eat pasta, which increases their immunity, so she posted that post.”
“I didn’t expect that this kind gesture would be misunderstood by someone with ulterior motives and turn into this.”
The bullet comments in the livestream changed their direction, especially the “zealous” comments.
“Did you see that?! Our Zaza isn’t that kind of person! She’s doing charity for her friend!”
“It’s a free gift of pasta. How can you say that you won’t do anything after receiving the money?”
“Zara Wentworth is indeed quite pitiful. She was kind enough to share pasta with her fans, but she was scolded badly by anti-fans and netizens.”
However, the reporter was unwilling to give up.
“Who knows if you colluded with Zara Wentworth to lie to us?”
Melody raised her eyebrows and suddenly snapped her fingers.
With the snap of a finger, a group of people suddenly surged in from outside the door.
Before Thomas Bush could figure out the situation, the person at the front shouted, “Zara Wentworth is innocent! I happened to queue up at Herbathrive today and received pasta, pasta for free! Moreover, the content of her post is real. pasta is really super invincible and delicious!”
An old man in his sixties also squeezed out of the crowd and shouted loudly, “I can also help them prove it! I don’t know that celebrity. I only know Herbathrive. I came because I heard that someone was slandering Herbathrive on the Internet! You can slander anyone, but don’t stop me from eating such delicious pasta!”
“I can prove it too!”
“Me too!”
Chapter 744
More and more people rushed into the press conference hall.
Without exception, everyone was helping Herbathrive to clear its name. Many of them did not know Zara Wentworth at all. They were purely afraid that they would not be able to eat such delicious pasta tomorrow.
Zara Wentworth looked at Melody Fox in shock and could not help but ask in a low voice, “What’s going on?”
Why were there so many people who were not her fans speaking up for her? She was not that popular.
Melody smiled and said in a low voice, “Because I asked David Marrow to release the news. Anyone who comes to help you clarify today can receive a copy of pasta tomorrow.”
“I see!”
The power of delicacies was actually so powerful! No wonder so many uncles and aunties appeared!
The reporter who questioned Zara Wentworth clearly did not expect so many people to speak up for Zara Wentworth. He immediately turned pale and held the microphone without saying anything else.
Then, the Herbathrive people appeared with large bags of cooked ravioli.
Without any explanation, they gave each reporter a bowl of pasta. Even Thomas Bush was given a bowl.
Melody picked up the microphone and said, “Everyone, you’ve taken the time out of your busy schedules to come here, so I’ve prepared a gift for Zaza. This pasta contains Dr. Baxter’s ingredients that increase immunity. Now that the season changes and it’s time for dinner, everyone should eat before continuing the press conference.”
Thomas Bush’s face turned green.
What was this woman?! Who would send a reporter pasta at the press conference?!
If they wanted to give him gifts, they would just give him big-name gift bags, okay?!
Wouldn’t such an unpresentable thing be laughed at?!
Indeed, friends made by people who were not presentable were not presentable!
Thomas Bush was so angry that he carried the bowl back to the office and casually threw the bowl of pasta onto the coffee table.
Yana Norangel had been waiting in Thomas Bush’s office.
When she saw a large group of people speaking up for Zara Wentworth through the live-stream, she was so angry that her face darkened.
However, when she saw Zara Wentworth’s friend actually sending ravioli to the reporters, her anger dissipated.
Birds of the same feather flock together.
Giving a reporter pasta was not something an ordinary person could do!
She remembered that the last time she held a press conference, everyone had given her a gift box worth a few thousand dollars!
Zara Wentworth Wasn’t this country bumpkin worthy of giving away pasta?
It was obvious that Zara Wentworth would be mocked to death after this press conference.
She was really courting death. No one could stop her. Even the heavens were helping her!
When she saw Thomas Bush leave the livestream room angrily, she immediately turned off the livestream and waited for Thomas Bush to return.
When she saw Thomas Bush enter, Yana Norangel quickly put away the smug smile on her face and went up to him ingratiatingly. “Thomas, calm down!”
“Idiot! What an idiot! She better not implicate me, or I’ll ban her immediately!”
Yana Norangel patted Thomas Bush’s chest to calm him down and said hypocritically, “Thomas, why didn’t you stop Zara Wentworth’s friend? Now, she’s not only embarrassing you and herself, but also our entire Swanson Universal Entertainment.”
Thomas Bush gritted his teeth and said, “Stop her? How can I stop her? There are more than a hundred people rushing in. How can I stop them? With my head?!”
Yana Norangel laughed dryly and pretended to be anxious as he asked, “Then what should we do now?”
“I don’t know!”
Thomas Bush remembered to circle around the office.
Just as Yana Norangel had said, Zara Wentworth had not only lost face, but also the company’s face. He might even be scolded by the company.
After thinking about it, Thomas Bush decided to inform the company’s second-in-command in advance.
After making up his mind, Thomas Bush immediately walked towards the office of the company’s second-in- command.
Yana Norangel really wanted to know how Zara Wentworth would be dealt with, so she quickly followed Thomas Bush.
Soon, they arrived at the office of the second-in-command, Xiao He.
Of course, to be precise, this second-in-command was now the boss of Swanson Universal Entertainment.
Ever since Ken Swanson was transferred back to the headquarters, he had been promoted to the number one position.
Thomas Bush stood at the door and took a deep breath. When he was completely prepared to be scolded, he reached out and knocked on the door.
“Enter.”
Xiao He’s voice came from inside.
Only then did Thomas Bush dare to push the door open and enter.
He saw Xiao He leaning against his swivel chair and staring at the computer screen. He seemed to be mumbling something.
Thomas Bush did not dare to listen carefully. He lowered his head and walked forward.
“President Xiao… I have something to report to you.”
Yana Norangel followed in and pretended to be sad.
“It’s Thomas Bush.”
Xiao He seemed to be in a good mood as he called Thomas Bush over.
“Come and sit down. I have something to tell you too.”
Thomas Bush felt that the smile on Xiao He’s face was the calm before the storm.
He walked forward as if he was facing a great enemy. He lowered his head and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Xiao He’s voice sounded from the other side-
“You have to pay more attention to Zara Wentworth!”
Thomas Bush’s body trembled. So Thomas Bush already knew!
He raised his hand and slapped himself hard. He said, “President Xiao, please forgive me! I really didn’t know that Zara Wentworth would be so muddle-headed. I’ve already told her the plan before the press conference started. It’s fine if she didn’t listen, but she actually did something ridiculous like sending ravioli to reporters. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely try my best to suppress the negative news and minimize the negative impact she has on the company!”
Yana Norangel also took the opportunity to say, “President Xiao, this matter has nothing to do with Thomas. It’s all Zara Wentworth’s fault.”
Thomas Bush and Yana Norangel rambled on for a long time. When they looked up, they saw Xiao He’s shocked and puzzled expression.
“…President Xiao?”
Xiao He said with a complicated expression, “Thomas Bush, what do you mean by that? Are you crazy? Did Zara Wentworth something negatively affect us? And you, Yana Norangel, what do you mean by acting on your own? I think this effect is very good!”
Thomas Bush and Yana Norangel instantly felt that something was wrong.
Yana Norangel was the first to ask, “President Xiao, what… do you mean?”
Xiao He frowned.
“Don’t tell me you still don’t know what happened at the press conference?”
Before the two of them could answer, Xiao He turned the computer screen on the table over.
“See for yourselves!”
Thomas Bush swallowed hard and squinted at the screen.
They saw that the group of mean reporters that they usually wanted to worship were actually fighting to squeeze onto the stage.
Xiao He turned the computer’s volume to the maximum.
The reporters’ impatient voices could be heard from inside the monitor screen.
“Give me another bowl of pasta!”
“Don’t push me! I’ll eat first!”
“Is there more? My bowl was snatched away! Give me another bowl!”
Chapter 745
“Don’t take mine! F*ck!”
“Zara Wentworth, ask your friend if he can give me another bowl! I’ll definitely write a draft when I get back. Please!”
“It’s so crowded, don’t squeeze…”
It was like a scene of aunties fighting over discount pork, or a zombie siege. Everyone seemed to have lost their minds. All they could see was the Herbathrive staff who were distributing ravioli.
Compared to the noisy scene, the office was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The muscles at the corner of Thomas Bush’s mouth twitched unconsciously. His face was filled with disbelief.
Yana Norangel even suspected that there was something wrong with her eyes. She desperately rubbed her eyes with her hands.
However, when she looked at the computer screen again, the scene was still the same as before. The reporters were even crazier.
“This… How is this possible…”
It was just a few pasta. These reporters had not confiscated their gifts before. How could they be blinded by pasta?
Were they crazy?
How much was pasta worth? They didn’t even bat an eyelid when he gave them a few thousand dollars worth of gift boxes!
Similar to Thomas Bush and Yana Norangel, there were also viewers in the livestream.
A few minutes ago, they had clearly seen the reporters scoffing at the pasta that Herbathrive had sent over. However, they did not know when it started, but they suddenly went crazy and started snatching pasta.
Someone recalled that this madness seemed to have started with a reporter who had a stomachache and wanted to eat something to fill his stomach.
When he ate the first pasta Fox, his expression was as if he had found a treasure. He quickly asked Herbathrive for a second bowl and a third bowl.
When he ate the fourth bowl of ravioli, the reporter beside him also tasted one out of curiosity.
Then, things got out of hand.
Bullet comments:
“Oh my god, haven’t these people eaten pasta? Or is this pasta really so delicious?”
“F*ck, am I the only one who wants to taste this pasta?”
“You’re not the only one in front. I want it too!”
“Fortunately, I have family in Silverlake. I’ll queue up tomorrow. The name is Herbathrive, right? Does anyone want to form a team?!”
“Me, me, me, me too!”
Almost everyone in the live-stream shifted their focus from Zara Wentworth to pasta.
In the office.
No matter how unwilling Yana Norangel was to believe the truth, it was useless. The truth was right in front of her eyes, playing in high-definition frame by frame.
She had to believe that these reporters, who were harder to deal with than the others, had all been bought over by the pasta that she had scoffed at just now.
Yana Norangel’s face turned pale. Her legs were so weak that she could barely stand.
Thomas Bush’s situation was not much better than Yana Norangel’s.
He pinched his thigh a few times before realizing that this was not an illusion. It was real.
Not only did the pasta gift from Zara Wentworth not bring shame to the company, but it also made the reporters love it to the point of madness!
What kind of shocking reversal was this?
Even without Zara Wentworth’s explanation, everyone would automatically believe that Zara Wentworth’s recommendation post was authentic.
After a long time, Thomas Bush finally found his voice.
“Zara Wentworth is really… a blessed person.”
After thinking about it, he could only think of this sentence to praise Zara Wentworth.
Xiao He pursed his lips and said, “Did you see that? Does this look like it will have a negative impact on the company?”
Thomas Bush shook his head repeatedly. “No! There will definitely not be any negative effects!”
“Thomas Bush, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you’re already a veteran artiste. You have to be calm when you do things. Don’t just look at the surface. Oh… right.” Xiao He asked, “I saw through the live broadcast that you were also given a bowl of pasta. Is that pasta really that delicious?”
“I…” Thomas Bush scratched his head awkwardly and said, “I left it in the office. I haven’t eaten yet.”
Xiao He slammed the table.
“Then what are you waiting for?! Hurry up and bring it over!”
Thomas Bush quickly replied, “Yes.” Then, he ignored Yana Norangel, who stood rooted to the ground and could not accept the truth, and rushed to get the ravioli.
On the way back, he couldn’t help but taste one. It tastes so good. The wonderful feeling of being in the clouds instantly wrapped around his entire body.
He didn’t even want to bring the ravioli to Xiao He anymore.
Fortunately, there was still a trace of rationality left. Relying on this trace of rationality, he swallowed his saliva and brought the ravioli to Xiao He.
“President Xiao, here’s the ravioli pasta…”
Xiao He took one and took a bite.
The next second, Xiao He’s exclamation came from the office. “Delicious!!!”
However, at that time, Melody Fox’s voice came from the computer.
“Everyone, the pasta has been distributed. If you still want to eat, you can line up at the entrance of Herbathrive tomorrow. It’s still a free 100 servings until you’re done.”
When they heard that pasta was over, the reporters realized that they were still at the press conference.
Although he was extremely indignant, he had no choice but to return to his seat.
Melody Fox only spoke again after the venue was restored to order.
“Regarding the post, I think I’ve already explained it to Zara Wentworth. I wonder if there are any questions about the pasta?”
Everyone shook their heads in unison.
They had all eaten the ravioli pasta and were certain that Zara Wentworth’s post was not fake.
This pasta was indeed so delicious that it made one drool.
These people were indeed from Herbathrive. Many people had also helped to prove that this was the free pasta. There was no need to advertise it at all, so what other problems could they have?
Melody Fox smiled and said, “In that case, let’s discuss another matter.”
Zara Wentworth, who was beside him, looked puzzled.
‘The other thing?”
‘What else is there to discuss?’
Melody Fox’s fingers flew across her phone as she slowly said, “Apart from the post, I think everyone has come for the overwhelming scandal about Zara Wentworth on the Internet. I have something very interesting here. I believe everyone would like to see it.”
After saying that, she called over a staff member at the venue and said, “Can you connect my phone to the big screen?”
“Of course.” The staff member nodded and quickly projected Melody Fox’s phone on the big screen.
A list of transfer records and a voice recording appeared on the screen.
“What is this?” the reporters asked in confusion.
Zara Wentworth also looked at the big screen in confusion.
There were a total of 11 transactions recorded, and all the payments came from the same person.
Melody Fox clicked on the payment account. The next second, a name appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
“Workshop… Yana Norangel.”
Zara Wentworth finally realized something and her eyes widened.
Similarly, Yana Norangel’s face turned pale.
