Chapter 387 Better Late than Never


    I held the microphone as she shivered and trembled with fear, given the huge responsibility to shore


    up Cloud Advertising Company with redoubled efforts that warranted the general recognition, as she


    waspletely aware that the assembly would not give the organizer, Cloud Advertising Company a


    just consideration.


    The society was full of snobs and despicable people who delighted at the sight of other''s misfortune


    and fall.


    I took a deep breath and conducted the press conference in the manner that Autumn would approve


    of: leaders address; the speech from designers.... and finally Andy''s keynote presentation.


    Over forty-five minutes had passed since Autumn''s departure, now even Andy''s presentation had


    concluded. But I had no choice but to rely on Andy stretching his presentation as long as he possibly


    could.


    Andy sensed I''s anxiety and tried to speak slowly and yet in an engaging tone. He maintained the


    slow pace right till the ''Thank you!'' he concluded his speech draft. At that moment, I thought the


    crisis was past being averted and there was nothing else she could do.


    I had to face the challenge head on and while suppressing her anger towards Pa who was


    shamelessly standing amidst the assembly.


    However, right when Pa least expected that I''s confidence received a boost. She cleared her


    throat, and cast a nce across the vast assembly. Andy was gripped by severe fear that the press


    conference would be ruined, as Autumn had just told him over the phone that she would need at least


    another ten minutes to return, however the hiatus would be of great difficulty to smooth over.


    I mustered up her courage, well poised, to address the assembly with the utmost sincerity, slowness


    and rity almost like an edited film scene.


    "Distinguished guests: my name is I Zhao, you all know me as the nner and the host of today''s


    event."? I''s words and expressionsced with humour made the assembly burst intoughter.


    "I think most of you came to hear about me because of thepany I previously worked for. The fact


    that I transferred my allegiance to Cloud Advertising Company which was earlier ill-reputed and not


    well-staffed as its general manager... being med for giarism gave rise to a series of


    misunderstandings."


    I smiled gently with a calm expression, "Autumn is my close friend who would not steal the work of a


    lesser known nner after staking her reputation. I decided to lend her myplete support and faith


    to help her survive the most difficult hours.... and we made it."


    "Today''s event, I acknowledge, is far from being perfect, but the fact that we try to establish Cloud


    Advertising Company in the field of fashion with its enterprising members is well manifested."


    I was relieved to see Autumn as she smiled, "Giant Promise Company, with tremendous


    achievements in other fields, has now turned to seek fortune and prosperity in the field of fashion,


    where many other dissenting voices currently prevail... in relentless pursuit of excellence and fame. I

    hope it is the time for ourpany to take stage."


    I''s eloquent presentation started a wave of thunderous apuse of the assembly which all started


    with Andy''s loud ps.


    The press conference was conducted smoothly despite the bumps.


    Moreover, the reality behind the proposal scandal and giarization were proved and exposed. I


    tried her best to reap the harvest that she desired and worked hard to achieve.


    I, with her head held high, addressed the distinguished guests, "The winter fashion of Giant Promise


    Company ising...."


    The catwalk show went as well as expected. I, who looked poised in an evening dress, was given a


    coat from Autumn as she walked off the tform. Autumn said in an appreciative yet proud tone, "I,


    thank you for your efforts."


    "Autumn, we really made it!" I could not contain her excitement, "We carried out the day smoothly


    without any hup!"


    "That is true!"? Autumn was also amazed as she epted the reality of the sess her efforts


    warranted despite all doubts.


    The thunderous apuse gave I goosebumps and also happiness.


    "Autumn, enjoy this moment of appreciation we receive for all our hard work." It was a big recognition


    for I who thought her efforts and time were recognized and were not wasted.


    The press conference was concluded perfectly with I''s ending presentation reposted and it was liked


    by several hundred thousand followers. Autumn spoke to I humorously, "I, as you see, now you


    are an online star inspiring and motivating others."


    "Please do not tease me like this." I had ovee her gripping fear and she exined the situation


    to Autumn, "But for the exigency, I would not have addressed the assembly like that. Aron woulde


    to tease me should he watch the live."


    "There was more pride than fear in your voice." Autumn smiled to I. "Aron will be happy and proud to


    see that."


    "Autumn..." Andy''s voice interrupted their joviality and returned their thoughts to the matter of the


    missing clothes.


    They were rendered speechless and nonplussed.


    "Mr. Xu..." Autumn looked at Andy in shame. "The scandal will be investigated soon with joint


    responsibility on my part. I take the liberty to request more time in dealing with this matter."


    "I''m not here for that." Andy replied with greatposure, "Autumn, today''s event ended up in sess


    owing much to your teamwork and hard work. So I have decided to add a bonus of 10% on the


    previously agreed price to reward yourpany."


    This favor left the assembly consumed by their jealousy. However Autumn seemed to be worried. "Mr.


    Xu, this may be against the usual practice."


    I thought this offer over and echoed her disapproval, as they found it shameful to ept Andy''s


    favor simply due to the event''s crisis.


    "Mr. Xu, it feels like that we found ourselves in the vulnerable spot of this crisis owing to our neglect


    and mistake and we... should not be granted this generous offer for such a mistake!" I spoke to Andy


    with embarrassment.


    "Believe me when I say you deserve this bonus!" Andy looked at them in gratitude. "Today''s event was


    a paragon of the like. Our model clothes are well known all owing to I''s splendid presentation which


    justifies my reputation!"
