Duan Group...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The press conference was arranged in a large conference room on the second floor. This place was for training employees, and it could accommodate more than two hundred reporters. After everyone sat down, they adjusted their equipment.

“The Duan Group is ready for a big scene. I think there are more than a hundred security guards.”

“Including those outside, there might be more people than us.”

“Young Master Duan’s focus will be on this design exhibition for the next half of the year. If anything happens, the time, money, and energy he invested in the early stages will be wasted.”

“I just don’t know what kind of evidence they’ll produce this time.”

...

While the reporters were discussing, Qiao Aiyun pulled Tang Jingci into a room alone to talk.

.....

“What’s the matter? Why are you so mysterious? The press conference is about to start.”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

Tang Jingci was stunned.

“Don’t lie to me. When you changed your clothes just now, I saw the mark on your chest.” Qiao Aiyun frowned. “Who is the other party?”

“This...” Tang Jingci hesitated, not knowing what to say.

“I don’t want to interfere with your relationship. I’m just worried that you’ll be deceived. Some men like to say sweet nothings to fool little girls. Don’t pretend not to see it. If anything happens, you’ll be the one to suffer.”

Qiao Aiyun spoke tactfully, but she was worried that she would make the same mistake as she had—meeting someone unvirtuous and getting pregnant.

“I know.” Tang Jingci knew that she was concerned about her and nodded.

“Do you want to introduce him to your father when he comes?”

Tang Jingci nodded. “Yes, I’ve discussed it with him.”

“Okay, then. Second Senior Brother has a stubborn temper. If he’s the sweet-talking kind, tell him to talk less and don’t flatter him. Just be himself. Your father likes to talk less and do more.”

Everyone was already so old and had seen too many people. After meeting this young man once or twice, they could always get a rough idea of his personality. If he was pretending and exposed himself in the future, their impression of him would only worsen.

Tang Jingci nodded with a smile.

In her heart, she compared Qiao Xiyan’s personality traits one by one.

She would like it if he could say more sweet nothings, but this person was too boring. He only talked a little more in bed, but he was usually a boring person.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she felt happy just looking at him like this.

She was afraid she was possessed.

At this moment, Duan Linbai’s assistant knocked on the door and urged, “Miss Tang, there’s still five minutes. You can prepare to enter.”

“Alright.”

Qiao Aiyun tidied her clothes again. “Do you really not need me or your uncle-master to accompany you? Can you handle it alone?”

“Yes.” Tang Jingci nodded seriously.

When she pushed the door open and went out, she was wearing a long black dress. Her long hair was slightly tied up, and her already cold eyes were not covered in makeup, making her look even more cold and indifferent.

Tang Jingci’s facial features weren’t the most beautiful, but when combined, they were breathtaking and comfortable on the eyes. This was the so-called high-class feeling.

Qiao Xiyan looked at her deeply. When she passed by him, he lowered his voice and said, “I’m right behind you. You don’t have to be afraid of anyone.”

“Okay.”

***

At ten in the morning, the press conference started on time.

The main content of this press conference was to discuss the recent rumors surrounding the exhibition.

When Tang Jingci appeared, the flashing lights in the venue didn’t stop until she sat down. Beside her was only a female manager surnamed Ge from the public relations department of the Duan Group.

Other than reporters taking photos, the discipline at the scene was very good.

Because when they entered the venue, there was an announcement posted at the door.

They would try their best to answer everyone’s questions. If they squeezed or swarmed forward or spoke carelessly, they would be directly expelled.

Since they were told in advance, even if they were thrown out later, they deserved it. So everyone was excited but could only hold back.

Manager Ge spoke first. “Thank you for coming. Recently, there have been many discussions about Mr. Tang Wangjin’s design exhibition. In order not to affect the smooth progress of the exhibition, we have decided to hold a press conference on the day before...”

Tang Jingci had been searching in the crowd for the female reporter named Ding Jingyi because she had seen her photo. Her eyes were very sharp, and she saw the person squeezed in the crowd.

She took a pen and wrote a few words on a piece of white paper.
