After Emily's warning that morning a lot of the staff adjusted their attitude but not everyone thought this way. Mr. Adams was one of those who felt that Emily was a paper tiger. He was one of the production managers and he felt that even if Emily was very smart she could not act the way she pleased. More so she might just have marked out some common problems with the report that anyone who could read will notice.
'Show off,' he rolled his eyes thinking of what happened in the meeting hall.
He believed that if all the managers had one voice Emily will be put under pressure and she will have no option but to bow to their pressure. He shared this idea with a lot of the other managers, a few of them rejected while the majority of them felt that Mr. Adams made a valid point. Gabriel was not someone who put pressure on them to work, he was easygoing and would easily give in to them.
So out of twelve managers who would be attending the meeting the next day, seven of them had joined hands with Mr. Adams to make things difficult for Emily. She was just someone who had money, does she think it is easy to work. She should be grateful that talented people like them work for her.
Three out of these managers were sales managers in three of the outlets in city Que. These three sales managers did not attend the first day of the meeting, all they knew was told to them. Three out of the four managers that presented on the first day also joined Mr. Adams. They felt the time Emily has given to them was too small to make the needed correction. Mr. Adams and another production manager will present on the third day, making them eight out of twelve.
Que city was very big and it house people from different social standing. The steam products did not target the richest people around but the middle class who were trying to rob their shoulders with the wealthy men in the society. These people are top managers in big companies and organizations. They still feel their heartache when they used a lot of money just to buy accessories like phone plugs and other products from ABM and Sky.
Of course, they were other products available in the market but these people will be looked down on if they bought things from those brands. They were desperate to enter the upper-class society so they could only cry in their heart as they bought this product.
Although Steam products were not as expensive as ABM or Sky, not everyone will be able to afford them. Moreover, only a small amount was released on sale each quarter. This way Steam managed to create an edge for themselves, they also manage to attract a number of ABM users since their products were very efficient.
At first, many people did not pay attention to Steam, of course, Emily knew that to make their stand they needed publicity. At that time Mr. Gabriel had sent over different scrip to her but Emily had rejected them all.
Two years ago she spoke to Jude and decided to make a well-known internet celebrity their brand spokesman. At that time they have just launched the first set of smartphones into the market.
Since the price was not cheap and the sales were not so high, Emily decided to draw attention in the most unlikely way. A reality show just came to an end. The winner and the first runner-up were ladies. During their stay in the house where the show was recorded, they have both taken interest in the same man who was also a contestant. So they fought over him and antagonize each other.
The lady who won was from a wealthy background. It was said that her family had spent a lot of money to make people vote for her. Some rumors even say that she has bought the winning spot from the organizers of the show.
While the other lady was from a middle-class family. They were to act in the script that was written by Emily but no one was to ever find out that they were just acting.
Emily's pay was high and since she did not go to the company they were signed into they will make all the money without giving a return to their company.
Moreover, it was an opportunity to get more fans, anyone paying attention to social media is aware that rumors spread very fast.
A few days after signing the contract the two ladies met at a television show they were invited as guests. The show will air at seven pm at night. Meanwhile, they went over to the studio at four pm to record the show.
At six pm everything was done and as the two walked out in close proximity, the rich lady deliberately used her shoulder to push the other lady who was walking while using her phone.
Not expecting the sudden contact the lady's hand shook and the phone came crashing down.
*ping* The sound of the phone screen getting damaged was heard. I
This type of smartphone was not so common at that time. Only those who had a bit of money will be able to afford such a phone.
"you..! Can you not use your eyes?" the ladies whose phone got damaged could not help but scold the arrogant woman.
"Why? Should you be walking and pressing your phone?" the rich lady refused to accept her mistake and push it back to her.
"I do not care if your family is so wealthy that you have your nose held up, but this is a public place and I have the right to walk as I please," the other lady did not take her words lying down.
"So is it not just a phone? Did I infect any injuries on you?" the rich lady rolled her eyes.
"you? Ahh! This is indeed the world of the rich, you walk without using your eyes and damaged my phone but you refuse to apologize?" the other lady did not take it.
Since they were already outside the recording studio a few people already turned to watch the show and it was not so difficult to recognize them. A few people in the crowd also scolded the rich girl. Seeing these the rich girl turned to her assistant.
"pick up the phone and check the brand, I will get a new one for her," she refused to apologize. She knew that as long as she offered to replace it nobody will point an accusing figure at her again. When her assistant heard her, she immediately obeyed and pick up the phone.
"Royal 1 Steam," even the assistant had a frown on her face as she did not recognize the brand.
The rich lady paused and looked at the phone in her hand. Then she burst into sarcastic laughter. "you? What kind of cheap products is this? Even if you use a smartphone to act like a rich lady people will still know you are poor," After saying this she shoves the phone into the other girl's hand.
"forget about just one of it, I will get three of this cheap product and send them to you," the rich lady said arrogantly. As soon as she finished speaking she walked away not giving the other lady a chance to talk back.
Later that evening, someone posted the event online. At first, no one paid attention to it. Later a blogger noticed it and seeing that it caught some celebrity in a conflict he immediately offered to pay the poster money for the video. The person who took the video did not mind and sold it immediately. The video was not very clear since it was not professionally done.
As soon as the video was posted by the blogger it immediately caught a lot of attention. At that time the program that they went to record aired and people started to connect the dots.
Of course, opinions were divided. Some blame the girl whose phone got damaged for using her phone at the wrong time.
Some said that the rich lady was too arrogant. As the discussion moved people started asking questions about the product of the phone. Not many people knew the product.
Some fans went over to their idol page to ask questions. The rich lady was Jasmine and the other Rossy. They asked about the event.
