MPLB-41.2

“Zhan, do you have any idea?” Jili was full of expectation.

Zhan was always full of good ideas. He was the only one to reply one now.

The most important thing at present was the press conference tonight.

After the conference, there would be a banquet…

YangYang was really cold-blooded, completely ignoring them. He didn’t even send anyone to help.

Anyway, the resources of the company can be utilized, such as the staffs from the advertisement department or the info department.

But they had to come up with a method to use these resources.

“Darren, just leave us by the street. Go do whatever you guys need to do right now.”

The car parked at the street, Zhan, Jili and Xuan Lu got off the car. The rest of them followed Darren to work.

“Xuan Lu, call the info department. Ask them to inform the reporters at six o’clock tonight that there will be a conference at seven. And also contact the hotel.”

“Jili, go prepare us some clothes. I will go back and check out tonight’s procedure with YangYang.”

Zhan waved his hands, “See you later.”

After parting the two, Zhan was about to stop a cab. Unexpectedly, his sight alighted on two dazzling shadows.

As he saw them, Zhan spun around and hid behind a tree.

Not far away, Haoxuan looked around subconsciously, his sight glanced around.

He felt that he just ran into someone that he seemed to have seen somewhere.

It was like… His angel? Or, Xiao Zhan?

Damn! How would he want to see Xiao Zhan?

However, in this morning his big brother had decided to cancel the engagement with that boy. Up until now, he had not seen that boy.

That ger was stupid and arrogant, being abandoned by a man. Would he do something stupid…

“Haoxuan, what’s the matter?” Yangzi realized that he didn’t follow her steps, so she immediately walked to his side.

“Aren’t we going in? What are you looking at?”

She also turned around to take a look, but the crowd was full of noise all around. She didn’t notice anything unusual.

“Nothing.” Haoxuan finally withdrew his confused sight and walked toward a high-end cafeteria in the front.

Yangzi smiled at him mildly, facing him with the most beautiful way she could think of.

Undoubtedly, a gorgeous beauty like this was really charming.

But Haoxuan seemed to be little absent-minded all the way. Did he really see Zhan just now?

He heard that boy moved out of the Jingshi Pavilion last night. For this reason, he went to the Xiao family this morning, but that boy did not go back home.

Did he actually live on campus now?

“Haoxuan, I actually ask you out for something. I know you are held in high status in the Wang family, I …”

Yangzi paused again, looking back with him.

However, she still didn’t notice anything unusual. What exactly was he looking at?

“Haoxuan, are you listening to me?”

Haoxuan grew impatient. He simply stopped, “What do you need me for?”

He decided not to drink the coffee.

He used to enjoy drinking coffee and conversing with a beautiful girl, but now he was extremely impatient.

Although these women were beautiful, yet, through their demeanors, one could easily observe their pretentious nobleness and elegance.

They were even no match for a stupid ger like Zhan. Although he wasn’t as beautiful, at least he was sincere.

Right, it was the feeling of sincerity.

That boy ate and drank freely as much as he wanted. He was more like a real person.

Only being together with someone like this would Haoxuan be able to eat and drink as much as he liked.

Still, why would he think of that ugly boy for no reason?

“The cafe is in the front, why don’t we go in…”

“I still have other things to deal with today.”

“Haoxuan, are you mad at me?” Yangzi stepped forward and got closer to him.

“Why should I be mad at you?” Haoxuan was in an ‘offline’ situation all along.

“Haoxuan, if you don’t like cafe. Why don’t we… Chat in the hotel?”

Yangzi was really anxious today. At all events, she had to strengthen her status within the Wang family.

She dared not to find Young Master Wang. Zanjin was like a giant mountain. No matter how many phone calls she made, Zanjin would say that the Young Master was in a meeting.

She also called Yibo, but the latter didn’t answer the phone at all.

However, Zhan that b*itch would soon cooperate with the Yang Group!

She had to strike back for the humiliation that YangYang exerted today. She must establish her own anime department before them!

“Go to the hotel?” Haoxuan raised his brows. His sight finally landed on her body fully.

Yangzi smiled slightly, lowered her eyes and showed a bashful look.

Still, a trace of scorn and arrogance flashed beneath her eyes,

As expected, men were all the same. As long as she was willing to give them a taste of sweetness, they would agree on anything.

She increasingly considered her body to be very useful. As long as she slept with Haoxuan, he would definitely commit himself to her.

Anyway, men were no different from each other.

“Haoxuan, let’s go to the hotel.” She raised her head and blinked her innocent big eyes.

Haoxuan just stated at her eyes without any expression, “You have been living in my big brother’s Jingshi Pavilion recently?”

He was indeed angry!

Yangzi stared at him with a pitiful expression, “It was all because of the old madam who arranged me to live in the Jingshi Pavilion… But…

“Did my big brother cancel the engagement with Zhan because of you?”

Haoxuan did not expect his big brother to be such a shallow man that gave up Zhan and chose this woman.

In fact, he could not deny the fact that Yangzi was actually much more beautiful than Zhan.

However, why did he feel that his big brother went blind in choosing Yangzi?

Yangzi looked shy, “How could I possibly know the ideas of Young Master Wang? Maybe…”

“If that was the case, why do you still want to sleep with me at a time like this?”

Haoxuan suddenly laughed coldly. His laughter was very sarcastic.

“Yangzi, you think you can do whatever you want on men just because you are good-looking? You really think your body worth a lot?”

“No, Haoxuan, I didn’t…”

“Yes you did. It was because I refused you. If I don’t, are you lying beneath me now?”

Why did he consider this girl to be kind and cute before? Just because of her face?

Haoxuan suddenly wanted to puke when seeing her now. It was the feeling of disgust.

“Think about it. Whether I would like your dirty body that was played by my big brother!”

Haoxuan was a bit agitated today. He answered Yangzi’s call and agreed to meet her, because he wanted to know more about Zhan from her.

Nevertheless, when this woman mentioned Zhan, the former’s words were full of slanders and accusations.

He was disgusted by these and he wanted to hear them no more!

Haoxuan turned around and was about to leave. The moment he turned around, he saw a slender shadow getting into the cab.

“Xiao Zhan?” Haoxuan chased the cab.

Yet, Zhan had already got in the car and the cab soon disappeared from his sight.

“Zhan?” Yangzi also saw that shadow.

She then saw Haoxuan, who was staring at the direction that the cab left and was still in a daze.

The look in his eyes, his expression. The way he became lost in a deep reverie…

Yangzi’s heart shrank instantly. Haoxuan… Haoxuan liked Zhan!

She had been hanging with lots of different men. How could she not figure it out?

But, how? This should never be the case!

“You like that ugly boy! Haoxuan, are you blind?”

No wonder he refused her, no wonder his attitude for her was so bad recently!

Even though Haoxuan was not the man she wanted ultimately, but she should be the only one that he liked!

All the outstanding men should like her! Instead of an ugly monster like Zhan!

“Haoxuan, you are crazy! Aren’t you afraid that everyone would laugh at you for falling in love with such an ugly ger?”

Haoxuan looked embarrassed all of a sudden!

He stared at Yangzi fiercely, “Who told you that I like that ugly boy?”

With that, he strode away fast without turning back again.

Yangzi stood still, staring at his cold and hard back. She was so infuriated that her fingers were all trembling.

He actually liked Zhan!

If he saw the true face of Zhan, wouldn’t he completely fall in love with him?

No way. Zhan’s face must be destroyed. It must be destroyed!

….

At six o’clock, the media received the news that the Yang Group was holding a press conference.

Before 6:30 p.m., the invitations for the banquet were sent out.

At seven o’clock, when Xiao Zhan and YangYang showed up at the press conference, the reporters were shocked.

Didn’t they say the the partner of cooperation was Zhan’s studio?

Then the person on the stage should be Xiao Zhan himself.

But why would the boy, who sat in front of the sign “Xiao Zhan”, be a beautiful ger like a fairy instead of an ugly one?

This ger was really beautiful without doubt. The delicate face was dressed with a bit of makeup, making him worthy of the name “terrific beauty”.

He sat next to the Second Young Master of the Yang family, and his temperament could totally match him.

The handsome man and the gorgeous ger.

This boy was so beautiful that nothing could compare!

When he introduced himself, all the media were shaken.

He was indeed Xiao Zhan!

Xuan Lu, as the section chief of the marketing department of the new founded department, briefly presented their development goal this year in the press conference.

Xuan Lu was really a worthy class president. She was so nervous before going to the stage.

But now, standing on this stage, she could talk so much endlessly.

Such an outstanding performance could really rival the people that had worked for so many years.

She was really a talent!

During the last half of the conference was the Q&A session.

Due to the rumors on the internet, the reporters had already come up with a pile of questions.

When the Q&A session began, a reporter immediately asked, “Mr Xiao, are you really the fiancée of the Young Master Wang?”

The audience burst into an uproar. This question was really incisive and intense.

Since everyone knew what would come next: definitely rumors related to YangYang.

Zhan smiled slightly, “No, I am not.”

Everyone broke into discussions all of a sudden. He admitted to be Xiao  Zhan, but he did not admit his relationship with Young Master Wang.

However, some reporters soon realized what was going on and immediately asked, “Mr Xiao, did you just deny it because Young Master Wang posted the news about canceling the engagement with you this morning?”

YangYang just sat aside, watching this boy trapped by the fierce attacks of the reporters.

Apparently, everyone was more interested in the rumors than in the establishment of the anime department.

“Mr Xiao, it is said that your sister Miss Yangzi intervened the relationship between you and Young Master Wang. Now Young Master Wang abandoned you because of your elder sister?”

“Mr Xiao, some people said that you and your sister both lived with Young Master Wang. Does the Xiao family ask you two to serve Young Master Wang together?”

“Mr Xiao…”

Zhan remained expressionless, listening to the questions raised by the reporters, which were getting more humiliating.

Zhan said indifferently, “Today is a press conference about the cooperation between the Yang Group and my studio. Regarding the personal business, I refuse to answer.”

His calm performance did not match his age.

It seemed like that he was a prudent and successful man who had been working for many years and was calm and steady.

With his words, the reporters went silent for a moment.

However, after a moment, an even more incisive question was immediately raised.

“Mr Xiao, the cooperation is made possible because your studio won the championship in the campus comic competition.”

“But, it is said that there were many inside stories behind the championship. It was because of the private relationship between you and Second Young Master Yang, which was the reason why he gave you guys the championship?”

YangYang frowned deeply, staring at the reporter that asked the question.

The reporter looked unfamiliar. How dare he ask such a rude question.

YangYang remained silent. He just looked at Zhan.

How would this boy deal with question like this?

There wasn’t any expression on Zhan’s face. He stared straight into the reporter.

Zhan suddenly curled up his lips and smiled, “If I were your boss, I will definitely fire you for being unprofessional”

The reporter’s face darkened instantly. He said unhappily, “Mr Xiao, please answer my question.”

“Of course no inside story.”

Undoubtedly, his words made the audience laugh.

Still, there was a smile on his face. Zhan looked at the reporter, “I want to ask you, reporter friend. Have you even watched our match? Even the replay?”

“I…” The reporter hesitated, but he soon answered determinedly, “Of course I did.”

Zhan was still smiling lightly, “Since you have watched it, then you should know how our painter scored high easily.”

“Since you have watched it, you should know how difficult it was for us during the competition!”

“Then, maybe… Maybe because you did something unpresentable behind the scene. Therefore, you acquired the questions on the contest from some key figures?”

This key figure was of course referring to Second Young Master Yang.

Everyone knew that the Yang group was one of the major sponsors of this competition. Since Zhan conquered YangYang, how hard was it for him to ask for the questions of the competition?

“What I can say is that you did not watch out competition at all!”

Zhan suddenly rose from the seat, under his sharp gaze, a frightening aura occupied the space.

The smile on his face was gone. His eyes darkened.

“The contents of the competition, whether one knew about the questions or not, they were real.”

“It takes someone else three hours to complete thirty grids of rough sketch. However, we were in a live stream. Three hours for more than sixty grids of sketch. Each grid was a big one without an easy one!”

“Our people, including me as the scriptwriter, chose the most difficult path.”

“Live stream competition could not cheat. There was no way to find someone else to help or complete it with any unpresentable relationship”

“And you! As a ‘professional’ reporter couldn’t even see through this. Where is your professionalization? Where is it? Tell me!”

His voice grew heavier, which actually scared that reporter. The latter almost fell onto the ground.

“I…”

“Since you are so unprofessional… Does your boss waste money for hiring you?”

Zhan looked aside at Chuyue who stood not far away, “Check where this reporter comes from. We should be ashamed for inviting such an unprofessional reporter to the press conference.”

“Yes.” Chuyue brought his men and walked over.

Although they didn’t have too many people in their department, still, they could use the bodyguards of the Yang group.

Chuyue, with a majestic-looking, walked to the reporter with two bodyguards.

The reporter panicked all of a sudden, “What do you guys want to do? Try to beat me?”

“You think too much. I just want to see which media company you are from, hiring such an unprofessional person like you.”

Chuyue smiled and asked the bodyguards to take the reporter down before he wanted to escape.

Before long, Chuyue turned around and looked at the stage, saying loudly. “He does not have a press card. He is a faker!”

The audience burst into chaotic murmurs again!

Zhan didn’t seem to be surprised at all.

As the reporter sent out by Chuyue and everyone gradually went quiet, Zhan said with a smile, “Now, do you guys have any other questions? Remember, be professional!”

Because the fake reporter made such a mess, all the questions made by the reporters during the next half an hour were perfectly normal.

Of course, they were all about the next development trend of Sunny Media, which were so professional.

The press briefing ended at 7:50.

The reporters were led by the staff and went to the hotel lobby to attend the banquet.

But Zhan smiled faintly and left together with YangYang.

Zhan’s smile was so charming that the man walking beside him stared blankly at him.

But YangYang came to his sense very quickly. He coughed and asked, “How did you find there was something wrong with the reporter just now?”

This boy’s performance in the press conference was so good that he could almost give him full marks.

Of course, this boy was too young. He was only 18 years old. There were some questions about the development that could not be answered perfectly in a short period of time.

However, all of his answers were not far away from the perfection.

The most outstanding was about the fake reporter.

This performance could definitely be given a full mark!

“I have great discerning eye.” Zhan smiled at him, without answering this question directly.

“Second Young Master Yang, I have to change my clothes and repair the makeup. I will attend the banquet after a while. See you later.”

YangYang could only watch him leave, whose brisk step and light figure always gave him an illusion.

It seemed that he(yangyang) was fooled.

“Where is the reporter?” YangYang asked Yecheng who stood beside him.

Yecheng quickly made a phone call, and very soon, he said looking at YangYang, “The reporter was taken away by Peng Chuyue and then there is no news anymore.”

“Peng Chuyue?”

“The one who took the bodyguards to arrest someone, member of the September Drawing Club.”

YangYang frowned slightly and suddenly came to his sense.

What a good Xiao Zhan.

YangYang didn’t expect that Zhan had arranged everything carefully. Even he was fooled!

This boy was really … really…

YangYang snorted and really wanted to catch this boy back and beat him hard.

This boy dared to play petty tricks under his nose! Did he want to die?

Yecheng also came to his sense finally, and couldn’t help laughing, “This little boy… is quite interesting, isn’t it?”

“Cunning!” YangYang snorted coldly and left.

Yecheng saw a smile in his eyes when he left.

YangYang seemed to be angry but in fact, Yecheng also couldn’t help thinking Zhan’s scheme was indeed brilliant.

To their surprise, even he and Second Young Master Yang were fooled. This boy…. Yes, indeed, really cunning.

…..
