Backstage lounge.
"Third brother, are you sure you want to continue with this press conference?" Luke Land frowned as he watched the crowded scene in the exhibition hall through the surveillance.
"What’s going on with the head of security? How did they let so many people in?" Luke Land said irritably.
"Second Young Master Land, there are too many people this ti, we couldn’t stop them even if we tried."
A man in his forties stood to the side, shivering. Hearing his tone, could this be the head of security?
"I an, this is a dia press conference, not a celebrity et and greet. With so many people there, how can the conference go on?"
"Everyone is here to see Third Young Master Land. They’re too enthusiastic, I..."
"..."
Luke Land’s mouth twitched as he shook his head helplessly. His own third brother’s influence is truly formidable...
"Cancel the press conference." Asher Land ordered without hesitation, "Add another security team to disperse the crowd and prevent any accidents."
With the scene so crowded, any disturbance could pose a danger at any mont.
Seeing the situation, Luke Land also felt the press conference couldn’t proceed smoothly and reluctantly agreed.
The head of the PR departnt stepped onto the stage in the exhibition hall, hesitated under the dazzling lights, then spoke.
"First of all, thank you all for coming. We apologize that, due to unforeseen circumstances, this press conference is temporarily canceled..."
Before he finished speaking, a violent commotion erupted below the stage.
"What’s the aning of this, canceling just like that without a proper explanation? This is clearly playing us for fools!" A reporter who had been waiting for hours in the hot crowd began loudly complaining.
"Exactly, wasn’t it promised that Third Young Master Land would attend this press conference? Ask him to co out and give us an explanation."
"Yes, we want to see Third Young Master Land!"
"..."
Sophie Smith stood amidst the crowd, her eyes filled with concern as she observed the agitated atmosphere.
If this continues, the dia will surely develop a bias against the Golden Era Consortium and might even write misleading articles, damaging Golden Era’s reputation.
Furthermore, if the situation escalates, emotions beco difficult to control, what if a riot breaks out on site?
Security personnel arrived to begin dispersing the crowd. So people were unwilling to leave, even engaging in pushing and shoving conflicts with security, and a few small girls were knocked down.
People were shoulder to shoulder, barely any space to stand.
A scream rang out as a girl who had fallen was ruthlessly stepped on.
If this continues, a stampede accident will surely occur, further tarnishing the reputation of the Golden Era Consortium.
Without thinking much, Sophie Smith pushed her way through parts of the crowd, approaching the girl who had been knocked down, and helped her up.
"The exit is over there, be careful." Sophie Smith said to the girl.
"Thank you." The girl gratefully looked at Sophie Smith, and amidst the crowd were elders, children; Sophie Smith didn’t have ti for much, helping them one by one toward the exit.
Inside the lounge.
Asher Land watched the completely chaotic crowd through the surveillance video, his expression growing more unpleasant. How did things turn out like this?
