Tong Yan had no appetite to eat, and her assistant was even more distressed, her little face pale, fingers trembling as she held the phone, unable to speak clearly: "Yan... Sister Yan Yan, did you see this press conference?"
In just one sentence, she spent a huge effort to say it completely, her heart was extrely flustered.
Tong Yan frowned irritably, squeezing her chopsticks in her hand, with the food in the lunch box untouched: "What press conference? Can’t you stop bothering with irrelevant things?"
This morning, she NGed a few tis due to unrest in her heart and was scolded by Wang Kelun. She wondered if she was overthinking it, but the two sentences Wang Kelun said seed to have an implication.
He said, all your thoughts are on unorthodox paths, of course, you can’t act well.
He also said, if you can act, act, if not, get out, don’t waste everyone’s ti here, wasting his film.
These words were more hurtful than the last ti he said she couldn’t handle Shen Jianian’s scenes. So many people were watching, she was utterly ashad, and naturally, with her state not good, she perford even worse, trapped in a vicious circle.
"No, it’s not an irrelevant matter." The little assistant looked like she was about to cry, handing the phone forward, "You...you see for yourself, Shen Jianian... Shen Jianian is actually..."
"Can’t you straighten your tongue and speak properly?" Tong Yan was unhappy and slightly wanted to lose her temper at anything uncomfortable.
She placed the lunch box on the small folding table and found the expressions of the people around her eating were not quite right either, gathered in small groups chatting about sothing.
"Isn’t it just that Shen Jianian’s golden...," Tong Yan almost blurted out the word "patron" but paused, afraid of being overheard, then continued, "that man ca to bring her lunch so what, who knows if it’s a show, what’s so great about it."
In the entertainnt industry, what kind of strange things haven’t happened? She has seen patrons of small celebrities visit the set under the guise of investnt. Everyone knew what was going on, it was just understood without being said.
"No, it’s not like that." The little assistant’s head shook like a rattle, her hand almost tired from holding up the phone, "You’ll understand after watching this press conference."
Tong Yan impatiently took the phone, the screen was paused on a video, she tapped it, and the video started playing.
The Hu Yuan Hotel is the best hotel in the Fengshan Film and Television City, and the crew stayed here, the background in the video was the largest banquet hall of Hu Yuan Hotel.
The main character of the press conference was Fu Jichen, there was no host invited, he sat alone behind a black rectangular table, wearing a finely crafted custom business suit that outlined a perfect figure.
A microphone was placed in front of him, and before speaking, he casually adjusted the microphone’s angle.
"Today, I thank the dia workers for taking the ti to co..."
The cara swept the crowd of dia reporters in the audience, they wore work badges, held microphones, carried caras, and their expressions were intriguing. They all felt that it wasn’t necessary for the president of Junshan to thank them, instead, they should thank him for granting this opportunity; otherwise, even if they fought tooth and nail, they wouldn’t get a chance to interview him.
Fu Jichen said calmly: "The the of this press conference is nothing else, it’s mainly to find an opportunity to make a public announcent about my personal relationship status to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future."
Personal relationship status?
The romantic status of Junshan Group’s president, isn’t that more interesting than celebrities’ gossip? Are they going to discuss a marriage alliance with so heiress...
The dia workers below were eager, unconsciously pushing forward, as if being closer would allow them to receive the news more quickly.
Fu Jichen relaxed, crossing his long hands on the table, appearing quite casual, as if chatting with everyone.
"My girlfriend, I believe everyone is not unfamiliar with her, her na is Shen Jianian." Fu Jichen went straight to the point, "No doubt about it, it’s the Shen Jianian who’s been trending online recently."
As the words fell, the entire banquet hall beca uproarious, caras flashed ceaselessly.
As dia workers, they naturally knew about the affectionate endeavors of Fu Jichen and Shen Jianian from back in the day. Walks in the rain under one umbrella, self-deprecating next to a luxury car, were stories passed around to this day.
Later, Shen Jianian disappeared from the public eye, their love story left unfinished, and at one point even her na couldn’t be ntioned online.
So speculated they had broken up, their genuine feelings eventually giving way to class notions, Shen Jianian perhaps leaving alone to distant lands, leaving Fu Jichen in Beicheng with mories of her and tying the knot with another heiress.
The dical stations and hope elentary schools he donated to build in remote areas were nad after her, yet he could never have her again.
ntioning Shen Jianian, netizens often referred to her as "the white moonlight of the mogul."
Recently, the na Shen Jianian was rampant, online criticisms poured like tides, first for injuring a female co-actor, and then rumored with male actors, with all sorts of true and false statents that left those not knowing the truth unable to distinguish.
Now, Fu Jichen said that the Shen Jianian trending online is his girlfriend. Was it Fu Jichen’s misstatent, or was everyone misunderstanding?
Fu Jichen’s subsequent words resolved everyone’s doubts.
"I did not inform Shen Jianian beforehand about today’s press conference; she still doesn’t know I’m publicizing our relationship; perhaps after the press conference, I will have to make an apology to her for my presumptuousness." Fu Jichen smiled faintly, looking ahead, enunciating clearly, "She was then Shen Jianian, she is now Shen Jianian, she has always been her, unchanged."
The first part made the audience chuckle heartily; the idea of a Junshan president making an apology to a girl was beyond imagination. However, the latter part rendered the vast banquet hall instantly silent, dead quiet.
After a mont of silence, it erupted like boiling water, with everyone whispering to those around them.
"How could the Shijian from before be the one now? They don’t even look alike! Did I hear wrong?"
"Carefully compare, their eyes do bear so resemblance."
"I just looked it up, this Shen Jianian is also a cellist, she was the principal in the Shixin Orchestra, and previously when the Shixin Orchestra toured in Beicheng, both Fu Jichen and Yan Qiusheng attended."
"Oh my, seems like we’ve stumbled upon a groundbreaking scoop!"
Fu Jichen concisely shared his and Shen Jianian’s story, and the instant he started speaking, the banquet hall fell silent once again.
"Indeed, we were in love years ago, should’ve married smoothly, it’s my hubris for not protecting her, leading her to leave Beicheng alone, having a severe car accident elsewhere, gravely injured, disfigured, and whereabouts unknown. After more than three years, I finally found her and reunited with her. It’s heaven’s kindness to . Her change in appearance was out of desperate need, not by choice, I implore everyone not to use others’ scars as weapons for harm. She has never been malicious to anyone, those negative labels online should not belong to her. If she wishes to continue her career in the entertainnt circle, I will fully support her and clear all difficulties for her, this is my private intent as her partner. As for other matters, further explanations will follow."
Once he finished speaking, the banquet hall remained stunned for quite a while, everyone imrsed in his story.
Fu Jichen’s speech concluded, and questions from the audience were now open; he would answer appropriately.
Finally, soone ca back to senses, taking the opportunity to ask a question: "Mr. Chen, is the news about your marriage alliance with the Xu Family heiress true?"
If the alliance was true, then his confession could not be truly sincere. Fu Jichen remained calm, answering: "Not of my own volition, to be frank, I learned about it only after the dia friends published it."
The "dia friends" on site lowered their heads guiltily, they indeed published so unverified small gossip.
Soone else asked: "Is Little N ntioned in Jade Palace’s blog truly Shen Jianian? What is the truth, could you give us a restoration?"
Fu Jichen: "Nonsense, no need to waste our ti."
This indirectly indicated that Jade Palace’s blog was false; as for the truth, he chose not to disclose it.
Co to think of it, Shen Jianian was not just the mogul’s white moonlight, but also the lover back from loss. How could she not want to, to the degree of becoming a mistress,, when the mogul had publicly admitted his error, claiming hubris. His genuine feelings for her could not be truer. Very likely that the man secretly admired by that internet celebrity was Fu Jichen, and because she couldn’t have him, she concocted stories online to sar her rival.
"Mr. Chen, what’s your view on Shen Jianian injuring a co-star actress?"
"I won’t comnt on filming matters. But the Shen Jianian I know would never hit anyone, let alone injure them." He added humorously, "She doesn’t hold back when hitting , though."
Roaring laughter followed.
No one had seen the president of Junshan so approachable before, everyone felt today’s visit was worthwhile.
After the atmosphere relaxed, the topic skewed a bit, soone asked: "Mr. Chen, may I ask... Is Miss Jia Nian your first love?"
Fu Jichen’s expression stiffened for a second, apparently not expecting such a question, but he answered earnestly, one word: "Yes."
"Then, when do you plan to get married? Will the wedding be open to the public?"
Fu Jichen smiled gently; a mild indulgence could be seen on his face: "That will depend on her wish."
