531 The Guests Arrive Part I (2/2)

More police officers were also called over to keep the crowd from going out of control. However, the police were paying more attention to the members of the media, preventing any of the daring reporters without press badges from sneaking inside the convention centre.

Orchidia Beauty invited the media long ago but only a few of them responded and confirmed their attendance. As a result, only very few of them were given official press badges. But after Iris and Jin Liwei's bombshell of an announcement—confirming their relationship during the Sommet International Film Festival in France—almost all the media outlets clamoured to attend the grand launch. Iris and Jin Liwei were hot trending topics in the country right now. So many people wanted to see them together and confirm their relationship with their own eyes.

Unfortunately, Orchidia Beauty only gave a few additional press badges after the original batch. The ones who didn't receive press badges complained, but Orchidia Beauty only apologized politely before giving the reason ”limited space” for being unable to give more.

Whether this was true or not, they couldn't be certain. After all, it was them who snubbed the company's invitation first. They had no choice but to make do without the official press badges and find an effective way to cover the event outside the convention centre instead.

The ones who responded to the company's invitations were now thanking their good decision. At first, they planned on sending their newbie reporters who needed experience. They didn't think much about the new company at all. But now they decided to send their major star reporters to personally cover the grand launch party.

It wasn't only Iris Long, Jin Liwei and Jin Chonglin who would be the biggest attractions of the event. There were also many other celebrities and important figures who would be attending. The media had already confirmed that the leaked guest list was indeed authentic.

Morning.

Then noon.

The weather wasn't the most pleasant today, but the great crowd didn't mind. They stayed put and chattered in excitement among themselves.

Finally, the grey and drizzly sky gradually cleared. The sun peeked through until it blazed in its full glory and splendour, pushing the thick clouds away. The chilly weather warmed up a little, making the crowd feel more comfortable.

Later in the afternoon, security was tightened at the main entrance of the convention centre. Once the place was cleared, the red carpet became visible. It looked glamorous and very similar to movie premiers and award shows.

The fans and spectators arranged themselves behind the barricades. The media who didn't have official press badges were assigned their own section. Like the fans and spectators, they weren't allowed to step on the other side of the barricades to the red carpet itself.

Just before twilight, the first batch of guests started arriving. The temporary warmth from the sun earlier was now gone. It had become chilly again. Fortunately, the event organizers were thoughtful. Tarpaulin tents were set up over the barricade areas to shelter the crowd from the chill in the air. There were also heaters providing warmth to them.

The first guests who arrived were mostly beauty influencers. Many of them were very popular on the internet. A handful of them were considered internet superstars with mind-blowing number of followers far surpassing those of mainstream celebrities. A couple of them were so famous that their massive online fan base extended outside the country. They had loyal fans from different countries all over the world.

And these internet superstars were attending this new company's launch?

These beauty influencers were the ones who gave positive reviews to the Orchidia Beauty products sent to them as PR packages by the company during the summer. They liked the products so much that they raved about them even without getting financial payment. They couldn't wait for the company's official launch, so of course they would accept the invitation for today!

Their fans also crowded outside the convention centre. When these beauty influencers arrived, the loud screaming and shrieking started.

The main stars, Iris Long and the brothers Jin Liwei and Jin Chonglin hadn't arrived yet, but the excitement was already shooting through the roof.
