The Press Conference (1)
Whether it was true or fake, everything had to end.
As the image spokesperson for Polesca’s men’s perfume, it was impossible for Shan Yatong not to appear at Polesca’s promotional event. Many entertainment media outlets were already waiting for him, hoping to get more reports about the “bullying.”
Over the past few years, Gu Sen had made a name for himself, but he had offended some of the media. Furthermore, because of Han Jing’s suicide, his comments in the media were already extremely bad. Now that the ‘bullying’ incident had occurred, and he was bullying the currently popular Shan Yatong, how could the media not make a trip when they saw such a huge mess? After all, it was the strong point of an entertainment reporter.
When Shan Yatong came out, he was wearing a black casual suit. In the reporters’ memories, although Shan Yatong wasn’t very young, he rarely learned how to dye his hair into a different color. Even his clothes weren’t for fashion. Most of the time, he was wearing a tailored casual suit, which was clean and comfortable, and elegant.
As Shan Yatong walked passed by, the reporters who were closer to him could smell a very faint fragrance on his body. It made them feel relaxed and happy. They couldn’t help but realize that this was probably the fragrance he was endorsing for men. It smelled really good. Even some men who didn’t use perfume couldn’t help but feel that the fragrance was of top quality.
Shan Yatong sat down next to the manufacturer’s representative. The manufacturer’s representative could smell the perfume on his body. He was clearly very satisfied with his action. As the spokesperson of the product, Shan Yatong’s actions were in line with his status. At the very least, he was dutifully responsible.
Shan Yatong greeted him and quietly listened to the host’s introduction. After the introduction, Shan Yatong once again explained the benefits of this perfume. After a circle, it was time for the reporters to ask questions.
The reporters began to ask some questions about the perfume. After all, the perfume brand was quite famous. There were also some fashion magazines present, so they naturally paid attention to these questions. However, these questions couldn’t compare to the power of gossip. After half an hour, the questions turned to the issue related to the commercial, on the plight that happened during the shoot. Then, they asked some questions about “bullying.”
“Yatong, is it true that Gu Sen hit you?”
Shan Yatong’s face turned pale. His hands that were holding the microphone trembled, but he didn’t realize it. “I’m sorry, this is just a rumor… Senior Gu didn’t…”
“Yatong, did Mr. Gu Sen threaten you not to say anything if you want to survive in the entertainment industry? That’s why you said that Gu Sen didn’t do anything drastic to you?” The reporter Jun was already imagining the scene of a weak youth being threatened by a malevolent man.
“No,” Shan Yatong’s voice slightly rose. It was obvious that he had lost his composure. Thus, he smiled again, but his face turned even paler. “Senior Gu Sen is an outstanding man. He won’t do such a thing.” He lowered his head slightly as if he didn’t dare to let anyone notice his uneasiness. He was like a wary cat, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure.
Some of the female reporters have already become maternal and cursed that heartless Gu a thousand times in their hearts. Looking at that beautiful young man, how could he look like he was fine? He was clearly being bullied, but he didn’t dare to make a sound.
Lu Fan could clearly see Shan Yatong’s movements. His palms were dripping with cold sweat. A few years ago, such a scene had been done by someone, and in the end, he had defeated an artist who was even more famous than him. Lu Fan didn’t expect to see such a splendid and terrifying scene again in a few years. He tightened his fists, but his face was still as calm as water.
The reporter’s question was becoming more and more biased towards Shan Yatong, who had never said anything to Gu Sen.
The advertising agency sitting at the long table sighed. His niece was interested in Gu Sen, so he didn’t want to ask about it. However, this time, Gu Sen wasn’t a good person, not to mention the protection of the Xiao family’s Second Young Master. Gu Sen wouldn’t be able to live in this industry.
“Mr. Shan, this morning, Gu Sen said that Heavenly King Xiao punched and kicked him and took out the hospital’s medical certificate. What do you think of this?” The voice was especially clear in the crowd of concerned questions.
Shan Yatong looked at the male reporter who was asking this question and asked with a smile, “May I ask which media outlet you are from?”
“I’m a reporter from Meiyue Daily,” the reporter continued, “Please answer this question.”
Shan Yatong’s memory wasn’t good, but he still remembered that at the Jing Anjue Memorial Gala, it was this reporter who pushed him to the side and almost got trampled on by the reporters. Today, he had come to make things difficult for him again. A flash of understanding appeared on his face. “Ah, I remember now. It’s that random newspaper that was sued?” After saying that, Shan Yatong revealed an expression that indicated: I remembered you and I am smart.
The reporter from the Meiyue Daily felt a mouthful of blood choke in his heart and almost spat it out. The gloating gazes of his peers made him feel ashamed. He gazed hatefully at the innocent-looking youth. He must have done it on purpose!
“It’s better if I answer this question,” the moment Lu Fan spoke, all the reporters’ attention was focused on him. After all, he was a gold-rank manager in the industry and many of the people present had some friendship with him. If Lu Fan spoke, it would definitely be a little explosive.
