Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Inside an office.
When Qin Zhou walked in, Yun Shishi was still memorizing the script, which was filled with the questions the media would raise and the drafted answers by the manager for her. The actress wanted her responses to be freestyle due to the gravity of this issue, but her preparation could not be sloppy and she must not make even the slightest error, so the manager had specifically tasked the Huanyu’s PR team to draft the lines for his charge overnight.
The woman had a hard time memorizing the script.
These were all formalities; despite the grandeur attached to the event, that just made it harder for her to chew on this script.
She had been memorizing it for a good half a day that her head had started to buzz by then.
“How is it? Have you memorized everything yet?” asked her manager.
The woman looked troubled as she rubbed her glabella. “The responses are too official, which make it hard for me to remember them all.”
Qin Zhou threw her a rueful and disappointed glance before he commented after a sigh, “It doesn’t matter if you can’t memorize everything. No matter what, you just have to deal with the first part of the session; someone will deal with the situation for you in the second half.”
“What do you mean?” Yun Shishi looked up at her agent in surprise, obviously confused by his words.
“You don’t have to ask too many questions; doing so will only mess you up. Just remember this: Rebut Ji Yan fiercely no matter what she says and don’t show any mercy. We’ve already won half the battle by her turning up; get it?”
“Hmm…” She nodded her head, still looking rather lost.
…
The traffic was congested at the overpass.
This was the evening rush hour.
Youyou looked outside the window curiously, listening to the blaring of horns on the road before he asked rather anxiously, “Daddy, are we stuck in a traffic jam?”
Mu Yazhe held to the steering wheel with tightly drawn brows; he was obviously frustrated over the same thing.
The traffic today was especially congested.
He had purposely left the company early, yet he was still caught in a jam.
Supposedly, they should have arrived early at the press conference, but the traffic had delayed them a lot of time.
The older boy, also, was incomparably nervous. He looked at the congestion and grunted in exasperation. “Looking at the state of congestion, we would’ve been delayed even if we had set off two hours in advance.”
“It’s only ten minutes until the launching.” The younger twin looked at his watch worriedly. “I don’t know if mommy can handle it. The media will definitely ask many tricky questions with plenty of them around today, and she may lose her cool because of it. I’m afraid that we’ll arrive too late to help her.”
“That’s not gonna happen.” The man could not help hooking his lips up. “She won’t have an issue dealing with the media.”
…
The presscon started on the dot at 7 PM.
The door was flung open; Yun Shishi, Qin Zhou, and several senior executives of Huanyu slowly walked into the venue under the escort of bodyguards.
The moment she walked into the venue, the reporters stationed inside went frantic and started raising their cameras. At once, the large hall went as bright as daylight under the constant flashing of magnesium lights.
The reporters scrambled and fought to get to the actress, and disregarding the bulky bodyguards around her, they all stretched their microphones into her face.
“Shishi, look over here! I’m a reporter from Phoenix Media; may I ask what is your real intention for holding this conference?”
“I heard that, at tonight’s conference, you are going to apologize to Ji Yan; is that right? Does this mean that you acquiesce to her accusations?”
Amid the commotion, Yun Shishi heard that question and paused inexplicably. She glanced at the reporter, who had thrown that query, sans expression, and her lips gave a sudden, unfriendly twitch. “What made you think that I would apologize to her?”
