Chapter 505 Damn...
Sean felt his legs go weak, and he almost bit his tongue.
Sheldon was the main person in charge of Riverland City.
Sean had never seen the county mayor before, but now he had a chance to meet the governor, Sheldon!
Had he come to attend the press conference?
Would he be disappointed at finding the press conference in this state?
Carlisle would also be disappointed, wouldn't he?
"Sean, why are you in a daze?" Lily tugged on his sleeve.
Sean finally jolted back to his senses and immediately hurried over to meet Sheldon with a few of his executives in tow.
The reporters from various media outlets surged forward as well.
Sheldon looked sideways at Gareth and smiled. "This press conference doesn't seem to be going very smoothly!"
He was interested when Gareth told him about the Alumni Network. It was established by a university student and was a social platform for university students to discuss their studies and socialize. That was why he wanted to take a look after work.
He had learned about Facebook, and if Alumni Network had been made with Facebook in mind, it was sure to be explosively popular in all the universities.
That was why Sheldon felt it was a company with a lot of potential, and companies like that would raise the region's income and increase Riverland's GDP. He was very supportive of such companies.
Additionally, Gareth was the grandson of Sheldon's mentor.
If Gareth came to Riverland and invested in a business here, it would be beneficial to them.
Sheldon had accepted his invitation, both as a favor to Gareth and to assuage his curiosity. It was a win-win situation. However, the press conference seemed to have run into some unexpected difficulties.
Gareth sighed and said, "Well, it's inevitable that there'll be rivalries in business. This isn't even a big incident. Last year, on the opening day of one of my partner's companies, someone jumped off the office building."
"Really? Does stuff like that actually happen?" Sheldon looked shocked.
Gareth nodded heavily. "It's pretty common."
Sheldon said harshly, "Some business owners really are crooked."
He began lecturing him. "Gareth, you should take it as a warning. Don't be blinded by profits!"
Gareth nodded as meekly as a child. "Yes. I'll keep that in mind, Mr. Darnell."
When he saw the huge group of reporters gathering around them, Sheldon's secretary went over to stop them.
However, Sheldon said, "You don't need to stop them. They can interview us if they want. We came to support Riverland's local businesses so they can ask whatever they want."
Several reporters began to chatter simultaneously as they called out their questions.
Sheldon answered every question they had, although he did avoid the more controversial questions.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Riverland Insight's reporters immediately sent word of Sheldon's arrival at the press conference to the live broadcast backstage.
The program director backstage immediately notified the crew to end the commercials.
He told the host that Sheldon was now at the press conference.
As time was tight, the backstage crew ended the commercials as soon as they had finished their discussions.
The host adapted very quickly. He immediately smiled and said, "Hello to all our viewers in front of the television and the radio! Welcome back to Riverland Insight's live broadcast!
"The little issue at Alumni Network's press conference has been taken care of, and the latest news is that Riverland's governor, Sheldon Darnell, is here as an audience member of this press conference.
"This conference is hosted by a university student. Now, let's get back to our live reporter to see what Mr. Darnell thinks about the Alumni Network!"
At Glory Textile Factory, the discouraged Woodsens perked up, their eyes widening at once. Gordon was in disbelief. "What? Even Mr. Darnell is attending?"
