Chapter 529 - 512: So Handsome
Whoosh...
A sudden burst of cheers and applause erupted from the crowd, and the excitement was evident in everyone’s eyes. Ye Chen emerged, dressed in a white suit that made him look incredibly handsome. His hair was perfectly tousled, and his chiseled face was striking. With one hand casually in his pocket and the other gesturing to the crowd, he walked forward.
"Wow, so handsome!" Gongsun Yue, Lin Xue’er, and some of the girls in the audience exclaimed in admiration. Ye Chen headed backstage, where the Governor of Hong Kong personally presented him with an expensive Armani suit. They were worried that Ye Chen’s attire might be too casual, so they specially prepared a suit for him. Once he put it on, the effect was indeed remarkable, eliciting exclamations from a group of infatuated young ladies.
Liang Yingqi crossed her arms and pondered, watching Ye Chen on stage—clothes make the man, indeed. Ye Chen’s handsome and dashing appearance, when complemented by fitting and noble attire, seemed utterly transformed into an aristocrat of high society, and no one could discern a hint of regularity. After all, Ye Chen was an aristocrat, and not just any aristocrat, but one of the most esteemed in the world.
"Hello, everyone!" As Ye Chen took the stage, he immediately attracted a barrage of camera flashes. The intense flashing lights nearly blinded him, causing him to blink fiercely. Shit, the firepower was too strong, almost making it impossible for him to keep his eyes open. After the barrage of lights, Ye Chen finally understood why some Chinese leaders, while speaking, look up to the sky or down at the ground. He used to think they were just showing off, but today, he found himself doing the same.
Ye Chen looked up to the sky and said, "I thank my motherland, I thank the party, I thank the Central..."
"Mr. Ye, no need for thanks, please get to the point!" the spokesperson hurriedly reminded from the side. Ye Chen immediately snapped out of it and realized, oh right, this isn’t Mainland China, he needed to follow Hong Kong’s protocol. Ye Chen cleared his throat and said, "Well, the reason I’m standing here is simply that I happened to encounter such unfortunate events. In such an urgent situation, if I didn’t take action, who would?"
Whoosh...
The audience burst into acclaim. Applause followed, and then came time for the reporters’ questions. The first was from Phoenix TV’s Lu Yu, who looked at Ye Chen with a warm smile and asked, "Mr. Ye, you’re now not only a hero of Hong Kong but also of the entire China. The rumors about you on the internet are quite colorful. May I ask, are you really a super Special Forces soldier as the internet claims?"
"Uh..." Ye Chen was taken aback, turning to look at the spokesperson beside him, who nodded slightly at him. Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I used to be a Special Forces soldier, but I’m discharged now. According to the confidentiality rules, I’m not allowed to disclose any details about my unit!"
