Chapter 14 Business (II)

There were long tables lined up on the stage, with dark grey curtains covering the tabletops to the table legs. A new necklace was displayed on the large screen behind them, with the words "New Product Launch - Redemption" in large letters in the center.

　　Below the stage, 23 media outlets took their seats, as orderly as a chessboard.

　　Amidst everyone's anticipation, Huo Yan and Lan Su appeared on stage holding hands.

　　Lan Su wore a light blue dress, her black hair fell to her waist, and her cold face looked porcelain white under the spotlight. The square collar revealed her smooth and delicate collarbone, with a necklace pendant in the middle.

　　Huo Yan was wearing a caramel-colored shirt, with curly hair tucked behind one ear, which made her look much softer than her usual vigorous look. The shirt had a V-neck, revealing a couple's necklace with Lan Su.

　　The company's new release today: Redemption.

　　"Boss Huo! Boss Huo is here!"

　　"Mr. Huo, is this the lady who was photographed walking with you the other day?"

　　"Have you started a new relationship yet?"

　　"Some people say that your current relationship coincides with the launch of your new product, and that this is suspected to be hype. What do you think about this?"

　　"Regarding the online discussions about your incompatible fate with your wife, do you have any response?"

　　"Say a few words, Mr. Huo! Say a few words!"

As soon as they sat down, reporters swarmed in, and they were barely able to hold the last line of defense after being stopped by staff maintaining order.

　　Huo Yan's face was still cold. He nodded to the design directors who were standing hesitantly on the side, asked the senior executives to sit down, and then moved his wheelchair forward a little and got closer to the microphone:

　　"I will answer your questions one by one, provided that you cooperate with our work."

Seeing this, the host quickly took over the conversation and said loudly:

　　"Oh, yes. Please don't be anxious, friends from the media. Although we are holding a new product launch conference today, our President Huo will answer any questions you have. Don't worry, go back to your seats first. Each media outlet will have a chance to ask questions later!"

　　The staff responsible for maintaining order took advantage of the situation and, together with the host, arranged the reporters back to their original positions.

　　Lan Su sat on the stage, watching the journalist elites in suits and ties doing their jobs obediently, and felt something strange in her heart - in the past, she was the obedient one.

　　It turns out that by sitting on the stage and looking down, you can really see everyone's status at a glance, and there is an inexplicable sense of control from a high position.

　　She was thinking in her mind but didn't say anything. When Huo Yan nodded, she nodded too. When Huo Yan clapped, she clapped too. When Huo Yan drank water, she drank water too, continuing to play her role as the sickly daughter of a wealthy family.

The host started the press conference according to the procedure. The clear and melodious voice made Lan Su sleepy. Fortunately, the host did not have much content, and soon came to the part of design inspiration. This part was interpreted by Huo Yan himself.

　　"This necklace is called 'Redemption'. It not only redeems a life, but also redeems my feelings."

　　Lan Su sat beside her, looking at her sideways. First, to show affection, she had to look at her when her wife was talking. Second, Huo Yan didn't like to talk, and she rarely listened to her talk so much.

　　The sound was cold, like ice, but very smooth, like ice sliding on a glacier.

　　"What life?" a reporter asked.

　　Now it was Lan Su's turn. She recited the script she had reviewed at home by heart:

　　"When I was 9 years old, I had an accident and fell into a coma, which lasted for 11 years."

　　She spoke at a much slower pace, which greatly enhanced her credibility:

　　"During this period, I was conscious but couldn't speak or move. I heard the doctor say that this might be the end of my life. I would be in a coma until one day, when I would become severely malnourished and die. But then, someone saved me."

According to the script, she turned her head and cast a touching gaze on Huo Yan. The moment her eyes fell on him, her body felt a little cold, but she held it back.

　　"Ayan helped me find the best doctor abroad and saved my life. Because of her, I was able to open my eyes again and live in this world again."

　　If there is something that can quickly make people empathize with someone, it must be love.

　　Just like when Huo Yan escaped from marriage through a planned plan, public opinion exploded and he became the general manager today.

　　"ah..."

Sure enough, there were romantic exclamations from the audience.

　　"So, you guys are in love with each other, right?"

　　Lan Su nodded: "That's right."

　　"As far as I know, antique dealer Lan Haotian's beloved daughter had an accident many years ago and has been in a coma. So, you are Miss Lan?"

　　"Yes, I am Miss Lan II, Lan Su."

　　"Then do you know that Mr. Huo's three previous wives have all passed away? A fortune teller said that Mr. Huo has a very difficult fate and will bring bad luck to his wife. In addition, you also suffered an accident when you were a child. Aren't you worried?"

　　Lan Su felt that this question was a bit long, so he simply didn't respond directly:

　　"It doesn't stop me from loving her."

　　As a result, the media outlet that raised the question fell silent.

　　Huo Yan listened to the whole process with great enjoyment, took a sip of tea, and raised the corners of his lips slightly - Lan Su looked frail, but he performed well in front of the big scene.

　　It's the word "love" that's a bit too strong.

　　"Deep love."

　　What's worse is that Lan Su added one more sentence.

　　Reporters will not miss any opportunity to ask questions in person.

　　"So you are in a relationship now?"

　　Huo Yan was afraid that Lan Su would make up a book that would be impossible to resolve, so he quickly put down his teacup and cleared his throat:

　　"We are married."

　　"What?"

　　"ah?"

　　"So fast!"

"You're getting married right after you were photographed together?"

　　"Mr. Huo, you've been married three times before, but each time you were widowed unexpectedly. It's been less than half a year since your last wife passed away. Isn't that a bit too fast?"

　　"Some netizens have questioned that you and your previous wives were only in business cooperation and were just cooperating with the hype, and you didn't get a marriage certificate. What's your response to this?"

　　Huo Yan waited quietly for them to finish asking questions. His upper eyelids drooped a little, the tails of his eyes drooped slightly, and the lenses reflected a sharp luster.

　　This level of digging is the lowest level in the interview circle.

　　Every time she gave this look, the other person would sense her anger and shut up.

　　After all, it was troublesome to respond to things that were based on hearsay. After answering the first question, there would be a second one. If she said what she had for dinner, she would have to say how many bites she had eaten. If she said how many bites she had eaten, she would have to say how many times she chewed. She would not respond every time, letting them guess and write whatever they wanted. It would be best to make up a fairy tale to push sales to a higher level.

　　But Lan Su had not yet developed such a tacit understanding with her. Seeing that she did not speak, he thought that Huo Yan, who was at ease, was being questioned and needed help. So he saw injustice and drew his sword to help. He took out a bright red book from his bag and held it up in front of him:

　　"We have obtained the certificate, please do not make malicious speculations."

He was stumped by just a few questions. It seems that even the decisive boss Huo Yan has his weaknesses sometimes.

　　It seems understandable when you think about it. Having been sitting in a wheelchair for so many years, Huo Yan must be lonely and stubborn and doesn't communicate much with others.

　　From now on, when it comes to interviews, she will still have to work hard to keep the stage going.

　　Backstage, Xu Panpan was a CP fan, and pulled Jiang Feng over with stars in her eyes:

　　"Have you seen that picture?"

　　"Which one?"

　　"It was just a little leopard, looking up at a tall big leopard, and saying, she looks stupid, but she is so cute, I want to protect her."
