Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk! Chapter 680: 680: Press Conference

Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Press Conference

Ti flew, and the day of the product launch arrived.

Neucity, Empire Building.

Why not hold the press conference in San Francisco, where the company is based, but in Neucity?

Because Neucity is a super tropolis, the global economic center, the window to the world. Holding a press conference here ans showcasing the product to the entire world.

At this mont, the Empire Building was bustling with people outside its doors, with the Star-Spangled Banner fluttering proudly.

The advertisents featuring Leonardo and Kate Winslet were a huge hit, rivalling the viewership of the hottest TV series at the mont.

...

This demonstrated the popularity of Leonardo and Kate Winslet.

The Empire Building attracted hundreds of thousands of people.

Due to the overwhelming turnout, the company’s employed security personnel and the Neucity police force had to summon a massive number of officers to maintain order, or else accidents were bound to happen.

The spectacle was almost on par with the Olympics.

Whether it was the restaurant waitstaff from the lowest stratum, regular company employees, or the business elites and various moguls,

People from all walks of life, from every social class, ca to attend this launch event.

There was no threshold for attending the press conference; whoever arrived first could secure a good spot.

Of course, so VIPs would still have seats arranged for them.

Luke and Cain, being waiters at the bottom rung, naturally didn’t enjoy such treatnt.

The two arrived early and secured themselves two seats at the venue.

“There are so many people!” Luke exclaid.

“Judging by the popularity of the ads, I knew there would be a huge turnout today. It’s a good thing we ca early, otherwise we’d only be able to stand on the street outside,” Cain said.

The night before, the two had discussed what ti to arrive the next morning.

Since the press conference was at ten in the morning.

Luke said there was no rush and suggested they depart at nine o’clock, taking the subway over.

Cain, seeing how popular the advertisent was, thought there would be a lot of people attending the event today, so they should set off earlier. They got up at dawn, had breakfast, and then ca over.

Luke followed Cain’s advice.

By the ti they got there, quite a few people were already queuing.

The hall could accommodate three thousand people, and Luke and Cain were among those three thousand.

“Right, I’m glad I listened to you. Otherwise, we’d have to stand outside and watch the big screen on the wall. We wouldn’t even get a chance at the lottery,”

Luke admired Cain’s foresight; otherwise, they’d be standing outside in the square and on the streets.

The audience outside had no chance of winning the lottery; only those in this hall had the opportunity to enter the draw.

“It’s just that I wonder if we’ll be lucky enough. I’m not holding out much hope,” Cain said, shaking his head.

“It’s no big deal if we’re not,” Luke was quite open about it.

He didn’t believe he’d be the lucky one.

If he were, his life wouldn’t be so hard, and he probably wouldn’t have ended up without a girlfriend.

Even if he weren’t the lucky one, he didn’t think it was a big deal. Just being here, buying at half-price on-site, was pretty good.

“I wonder how much it’ll cost,” Luke mused.

“It probably won’t be too low. After all, the advertisent was so well made. If it differs too much from the ad, they could be accused of deceiving consurs,” Cain remarked.

“Yeah, but we can make paynts in installnts, so the pressure isn’t too great. If the bank dares to lend money, I dare to spend it,” Luke said.

Buying things on installnt plans is a choice many make.

This is the most common strategy employed by the wealthy to harvest from the ordinary populace, and it’s the sa in every country.

It’s like the various lending institutions that have sprung up all over Huaguo.

As long as you dare to borrow, I’ll lend it to you, and I’m not afraid you won’t pay it back.

In reality, installnt paynts are almost equivalent to usury, but the number of people who don’t repay is ultimately small.

Even if all those defaults are bad debts, those financial institutions still make a killing.

Installnt paynts, with housing loans at the forefront.

An ordinary person who buys a house on installnt plans ends up tied to it for life.

It’s fine if you can successfully move into the house, but if you encounter an unfinished building, it’s like shouting for help to no avail, both to the heavens and the earth.

You have no house to live in, yet you still have to pay the mortgage—a misery beyond words.

If sothing goes wrong and you can’t repay the mortgage, the house will be foreclosed, and even without the house, you still have to pay the mortgage—a similar plight.

This is also a sales tactic to get more people to buy.

As long as you buy on installnt, there’s no fear that you won’t repay the money.

You not only earn the money from the product but also make money in partnership with financial institutions—it’s just too good.

At this mont, a young man dressed like a wealthy playboy, accompanied by two in black suits, walked into the hall.

Seeing this playboy, Cain’s face turned sowhat ugly.

“Cain, what’s wrong?” Luke noticed the change in Cain’s expression and inquired.

“Do you rember the reason I told you about, how my dad failed in his investnts and jumped off a building to his death?” Cain countered.

“I rember that. You ntioned that your dad was ruined by the Brook Family, and their heir Tulls, who went to the sa university as you, ridiculed and belittled you every ti he saw you. Why bring this up all of a sudden?” Luke said.

“That guy just showed up,” Cain gestured with his mouth toward the entrance of the hall.

“Which one?” Luke asked.

“The one in front of the two guys in black suits,” Cain said.

“Oh, so what are you going to do about it?” Luke asked.

“Nothing much, as long as he doesn’t co looking for ,” Cain replied with a bitter smile of resignation.

“What if he does co for you?” Luke asked.

“Then I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it,” Cain replied with a bitter smile.

“I think he’s noticed you; he’s heading our way,” Luke said.

“Yes, looking at that smug smile, he certainly deserves a good punch. He has definitely noticed ,” Cain replied helplessly.

Sure enough, the three n walked over and approached them.

“Cain, I didn’t expect to see you here,” Tulls said with an aggravating smile, “But then again, it makes sense. After your dad died, you’re penniless, can’t even find a girlfriend, so you have no choice but to co here and buy one of these AI girlfriends to take ho.”

Cain’s face darkened with anger as he snapped, “Tulls, you’re asking for it!”

“Oh? Is what I said wrong?” Tulls scoffed with a chuckle, “If you had a girlfriend, would you even be here buying this thing?”

Cain shot back, “Then what are you doing here? You’re not lacking in girlfriends, are you?”

Tulls laughed, “Of course I’m not. I can have a girlfriend whenever I want, as many as I want.”

Cain was sowhat puzzled, “So what are you doing here?”

Tulls laughed, “This product has Leonardo and Kate Winslet as spokespeople, and the advertisent is very hot. If the sales are also hot, I’m thinking of discussing a partnership with this company. Whether it’s taking a stake or becoming a distributor, both are fine, just making money. Unlike you, you can only work in a small restaurant, not making much in a year.”

Cain, eyes reddened with rage, retorted, “It’s all because of your dad, I wouldn’t be like this if it weren’t for him causing my dad’s death, leading to his suicide!”

Tulls laughed, “Don’t slander people. What do you an it’s not because of my dad that yours is dead? Be careful I don’t sue you for defamation. All my dad did was collaborate with so people to set a trap for your dad. It’s a regular business move. Your dad failed to see the trap and jumped in himself. Who else can he bla? If anything, bla his own incompetence. The fact that your dad jumped off a building only further proves his incompetence. How can you bla my dad?”
