Chapter 23 Press Conference
Half an hour before the reception, reporters from different media outlets had already arrived, sitting in rows inside the splendid conference room, whispering and exchanging their news and opinions.
"What do you think is President Su’s purpose in holding this reception? To specifically deny her relationship with Qin Jiran? Isn’t that counterproductive? President Su isn’t the type to do that," said a reporter in a tone that suggested familiarity with Su Yanyi, but heaven knows he might have never even seen Su Yanyi’s face before.
"How do you know it’s a denial? I think President Su and Best Actor Qin are quite a match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, no, I mean a talented woman and a handsome man—why must they deny it?" Another reporter sitting nearby countered with some dissatisfaction, looking quite excited.
"Talented woman and handsome man? You got it wrong there. President Su is talented indeed, but her looks are definitely top-notch. When President Su first took over Splendid, she attended the Starlight Award ceremony with the artists, and countless reporters thought she was a debut star. It was only later that they discovered she was the new President of Splendid, which was a real eye-opener. Tsk, President Su’s attractiveness can certainly match that of Best Actor Qin," said another journalist on the other side, speaking of his past observations with a well-versed tone and loud voice, attracting the attention of those around him.
"Yeah, President Su really is beautiful, but just too cold. Each time I see President Su from a distance, I don’t dare look at her, afraid of getting frozen."
"Look at you, spineless. President Su is my idol, although I always thought she was a single by choice. It came as such a surprise that she’s actually dating Best Actor Qin; it’s so unexpected," chimed in a young lady, excited whenever she mentioned Su Yanyi.
"Pfft, dating? Didn’t you see those scoops? Queen Su is sponsoring Best Actor Qin. That’s how messy the circle is; only outsiders talk about dating," jeered the reporter with a sharp tone, seemingly speaking out of sheer jealousy.
"Saying she’s sponsoring him is going too far, isn’t it? Best Actor Qin is a genuine acting talent, and President Su has both talent and beauty. There’s no need for talk of sponsoring. I bet those who say that are just slinging mud, grumbling because they can’t eat the grapes," another reporter rebutted sharply, the reporters were always quite articulate, immediately encountering opposition.
And amidst this buzz of discussion, the press conference time finally arrived. Kang Zhong took his place as the host first, and then Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran sat down on the presidium, one after the other, facing all the reporters.
