Forty minutes before the start of the press conference, He Bai rushed to the hotel suite. The door was opened by the makeup artist. He came in and did not see Cheng Liu, “Where is President Cheng?”

The makeup artist pointed in the direction of the balcony, “She’s on the phone.”

He Bai put down her clothes and walked to the balcony. Cheng Liu stood at the far end of the balcony, resting one hand on the railing, leaning there a little lazily. The blurry light fell on the side of her face, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

All this time, he seemed to have never seen Cheng Liu really show any fear or worry.

This time, because He Bai asked his sister several times how he could help, his father was alarmed. He called specifically this morning and analyzed the current situation of Shenyin Technology for him. His father believed that Shenyin had better swallow this hidden loss and take the initiative to apologize to the public and admit its mistake. Or stay quiet, do nothing, and wait for the spotlight on it to pass.

No matter which outcome, the reputation of Shenyin Technology was destined to be damaged.

However, except for Cheng Liu’s long silence at the airport last night, she didn’t seem at all nervous until now. Just looking at Cheng Liu’s current state, if he didn’t know any better, He Bai would even feel that nothing untoward has happened.

He unconsciously stopped and listened quietly to her conversation on the mobile phone.

“Tonight?” Cheng Liu said to the phone. The person on the other end of the phone must have said something else. She laughed and said, “This is what Shenyin should do.”

Probably aware of He Bai’s gaze, she turned around and looked over, but she was still talking to the person on the other end of the phone, “Okay, I will definitely go over after the press conference.”

Seeing Cheng Liu hang up the phone, He Bai stepped forward and said, “The clothes are here.”

Cheng Liu put away the phone and said, “I’m going to change clothes, then go to the press conference after.”

He Bai followed her in, walking by her side, ”President Cheng, where are you going after the press conference? Do you need me to make arrangements?”

Cheng Liu opened the bag and took out the suit from inside, “Going to dinner. You come with me, there may be drinking tonight.”

He Bai frowned when he heard this. Ever since Shenyin Technology got on the right track, Cheng Liu hasn’t had a drink with anyone for a long time. Who was she going to meet?

Cheng Lu turned around and saw the assistant’s face, and suddenly smiled, “Don’t think too much. It’s just some wine for the occasion, not necessarily a lot to drink, but this meal tonight is indeed very important.”

He Bai couldn’t figure it out, “Who will President Cheng have dinner with tonight?”

“You’ll know when we get there.” Cheng Liu took the clothes she would change into, and He Bai helped her bring over the pair of black leather shoes with black and white checkerboard soles.

After she put it on, her whole person suddenly became sharp and noble, and because of the loose silhouette, she looked more youthful and energetic.

“Let’s go,” Cheng Liu said.

The area outside of the press conference was already full of people from the media. Everyone wanted to find out how Shenyin Technology would respond.

In addition, because Shenyin Technology has a very young and good-looking founder, Cheng Liu, who was on the hot search list some time ago, many from the entertainment media also came to join in the fun.

Kong Zhouyun was sent here by their company to take some photos of the founder of Shenyin and then take advantage of her popularity and write something casually. Unfortunately, their company was too small, and he couldn’t even get an admission permit, so he could only squat outside the venue.

“Move over there, what company are you even from?” Those fellows around him, each with a professional team of reporters, casually pushed Kong Zhouyun to the side.

Kong Zhouyun was alone and had to protect his camera. He was pushed and shoved outwards, squeezed out more and more, until he was pushed to the outermost edge of the crowd.

“…”

Kong Zhouyun wiped his sweat. Now he couldn’t even take photos. He would definitely be scolded by his boss when he went back.

He looked up at all these people from the entertainment media all stacked together and thought, what was so big about them? He was the one who had a photo of the founder of Shenyin holding her boyfriend’s hand.

Kong Zhouyun also saw the hot search a few days ago and realized that the young woman he had taken photos of at the airport was actually Cheng Liu, the founder of Shenyin.

But he didn’t dare to release these photos. It would be easy for Cheng Liu to acquire their company and then what would happen to him? Kong Zhouyun squatted on the roadside, thinking of just taking a photo in front of the press conference building and going back to work.

Kong Zhouyun picked up his camera, taking a few random pictures when he saw a sudden commotion over at the pile of media people as a black SUV drove closer.

According to Cheng Liu’s worth, this car was indeed not considered good. It could even be said to be poor. It was said that she had driven the same car for several years.

Kong Zhouyun only had time to take a picture of the front of the car, and the car was surrounded by media from all walks of life. Everyone followed it inside.

“Forget it, the front of the car is also a photo,” Kong Zhouyun shook his head and turned around to go home.

As a result, he turned around and saw a white car approaching. He didn’t pay attention at first, but the car suddenly stopped and Cheng Liu walked out of it.

Kong Zhouyun: “!”
