Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

After all, she knew well that Yimena's current situation was not optimistic.

Even with Lin Lu, she still had a good chance of winning.

If Lin Lu was absent.

Then she would absolutely be the most dazzling protagonist today.

"Let's wait and see then!"

As time went on.

One by one, the employees of the Yimena Group started getting restless.

Lin Lu had still not appeared.

If Lin Lu did not show up today.

It would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Yimena.

Various clothing companies began showcasing their products.

Soon, it would be Yimena's turn.

"What should we do, President Lin? There's still no news about Lin Lu!" Tang Qian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Although the other models had arrived.

Without Lin Lu.

The impact would be significantly reduced.

Turning to the Yiyang Group.

With the addition of Niu Rong.

Their popularity had soared.

It seemed.

This year's most influential company would undoubtedly be the Yiyang Group.

Although one celebrity might not play a decisive role.

In a situation where both parties were equally strong.

Whoever invited the bigger star naturally held the advantage.

Originally, Lin Lu was much more famous than Niu Rong.

But if Lin Lu did not appear.

Then no matter how famous, it would be meaningless.

...

In the business car.

Yan Ling finally woke up.

"Sister Yan, you're awake, that's great!"

Lin Lu cried tears of joy.

"Silly girl, you've cried yourself into a little panda." Yan Ling affectionately touched Lin Lu's head.

"Well, Miss Lin, since Sister Yan is awake now, shouldn't you head to the press conference?" Su Chen spoke up.

He really didn't want to disturb the two of them, but looking at the time, it was getting rather late.

If they didn't go soon.

The press conference would be over.

However, instead of agreeing readily as expected.

Lin Lu lowered her head.

"What's wrong, Miss Lin?" Seeing Lin Lu's reaction, Su Chen frowned slightly.

Lin Lu bit her lip, silent.

In the end, it was Yan Ling who spoke first, "Su Chen, you've saved me, and you've also saved Xiao Lu many times. Originally, Xiao Lu should do anything for you, but… please spare Xiao Lu, will you? She's just an ordinary girl..."

Su Chen's expression changed slightly, "Sister Yan, what do you mean?"

"I mean, from now on, Xiao Lu needs to stay away from you."

"Why?" Su Chen asked.

"Su Chen, don't you understand? The world you're in is too dangerous, it could cost Xiao Lu her life!"

"But I just saved you!"

"If she hadn't agreed to endorse Yimena, would we have encountered such things? And if it weren't for you, why would she agree to endorse Yimena?" Yan Ling said indifferently.

Su Chen looked at Lin Lu.

After a moment, he nodded and said, "I understand..."

After speaking, he turned and walked away.

Without any hesitation.

For some reason, when he saw Su Chen turn and leave, the disappointment in his eyes.

Made Lin Lu's heart suddenly ache.

"Sister Yan, I think we were wrong." Lin Lu turned back to look at Yan Ling.

She said, "Sister Yan, look, he is indeed very dangerous, ever since I met him, I've been in constant danger, but whenever I'm in despair, he always appears."

"That's just your luck, eventually, there will be a time when he can't save you." Yan Ling said.

"Yes, he may not be able to protect me completely all the time, but if it weren't for him, I would have already been dead when I was kidnapped that time. My life, I owe it to him, so how can we not help him because of danger?" Lin Lu said, biting her lip.

"Silly girl, even if you don't help him, he can still resolve his current dilemma, but if you help him, you might need to pay with your life."

"But..."

"No buts, don't forget how you just promised me!" Yan Ling's expression turned stern.

...

Su Chen returned to the venue.

"How did it go?" Lin Xi asked Su Chen.

"I'm sorry, President Lin..."

"Did something happen to Lin Lu?" Lin Xi asked a bit tensely.

"Nothing happened to her, but she won't make it." Su Chen said, somewhat dejected.

Lin Xi smiled lightly, saying, "As long as she's fine, if she can't come, then so be it."

Lin Xi truly lived up to her reputation. Even knowing Lin Lu's absence would have consequences for Yimena, her first concern was still Lin Lu's safety.

"Oh, President Lin, why hasn't your star arrived yet? Relying on a few minor models likely won't hold the fort." Zhang Biao said, looking gleeful.

He was already certain that Lin Lu wouldn't show up.

Knowing that his task was posted on the dark web.

It was overkill for sure.

But to deliver a fatal blow to Yimena.

He didn't care anymore.

"No need for your concern, President Zhang!" Lin Xi replied faintly.

Seeing Lin Xi's calm demeanor.

Su Chen felt a bit uncomfortable.

Because he could see the hidden loneliness in Lin Xi.

If Yimena were defeated by other companies, she might not even feel so upset.

But it happened to be the Yiyang Group.

The counterfeit company that only thrived by pirating Yimena.

But he couldn't force Lin Lu.

It seemed there was only one way left.

Su Chen didn't want that.

But he definitely wouldn't let his wife lose.

Until the press conference ended, Lin Lu never showed up.

Lin Xi was already feeling the pressure from various dealers.

Their gazes seemed like they would roast her.

It was over.

Everything was over.

When the press conference ended.

Those clients would definitely demand to cancel orders.

Even though canceling orders would also result in financial loss for them.

The biggest hit would be on Yimena.

Because, with just the deposit, Yimena wouldn't last long.

Moreover, losing their clients.

Yimena would truly be finished.

But what could be done.

Yimena's reputation had already been affected.

And Lin Lu's absence.

Further confirmed that Yimena's clothing had issues.

"Do you know why Lin Lu didn't come? Because something happened to her after wearing Yimena's show clothes, she's being treated in the United States!"

Such rumors kept spreading.

The mood at Yimena was very heavy.

They were always hoping for a miracle.

But as it seemed now.

A miracle would not happen.

"Next, I announce, the winner of this year's Most Influential Company Award is..."

A striking figure stood at the center of the stage.

It was Zhang Shu.

As the official representative.

She was also the guest presenting the award this time.

Zhang Biao's face showed a victorious smile.

From every angle.

He was destined to win today.

To see Lin Xi's expression of despair.

He specially walked over to stand next to Lin Xi.

"This year's most influential company is... Yimena Group!" Zhang Shu announced the name of the award-winning company.

Hearing Zhang Shu's announcement, Zhang Biao looked at Lin Xi, pretending to be regretful, said, "Oh, President Lin, face reality, your era is over, now it's our era... What Yimena!"
