Chapter 1337: Press Conference Venue
The couple chatted for a while, then hung up and went to have their meals separately. After Jiang Xue had her meal and returned to the office, Mu Qiancheng’s call came back.
He told Jiang Xue that the security issue had been resolved. He informed her that someone would call her shortly, and if she has any requirements, she can directly convey them to the caller.
After discussing business, the couple chatted for a while more until Mu Qiancheng needed to attend a class, and they ended the call.
Shortly after Mu Qiancheng’s call ended, Jiang Xue’s phone rang again. Upon answering the call, the person introduced himself to Jiang Xue as Guo Dagang, a comrade of Mu Qiancheng, inquiring about the security matters.
Jiang Xue roughly explained her requirements to him and informed him of the venue for the press conference, along with some specific requests.
After listening to Jiang Xue’s words, Guo Dagang told her that he would personally inspect the venue and then arrange the security accordingly.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the press conference. The conference was scheduled for ten o’clock in the morning, and Jiang Xue, along with Shangguan Wenbin and other company executives, arrived at the venue early.
This time, the conference was held at the Jiulong Hotel, followed by a cocktail party, which invited numerous high-ranking officials, corporate leaders, and esteemed guests from South City.
At nine o’clock in the morning, the invitees began arriving one after another. Jiang Xue and other responsible persons greeted everyone in the hotel lobby, and employees and etiquette ladies from the company led them to the conference venue.
Jiang Xue had been worried that members of the Spy Alliance might cause trouble at the conference, but as time went on, nothing unusual happened.
Because of this, Jiang Xue’s anxious heart slightly relaxed. Soon it was ten o’clock, and the press conference officially began, with Jiang Xue, as the company’s general manager, required to make an important speech.
Seeing the time approaching, Jiang Xue turned toward the backstage area to change her clothes. But just as she headed backstage, a hotel staff member appeared walking toward her from the opposite direction.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the staff member, Jiang Xue immediately heightened her guard. So, as they were about to pass by each other, she deliberately stopped.
At the moment Jiang Xue stopped, the staff member who was about to pass by suddenly revealed a handgun in his hand and fired a shot at Jiang Xue.
However, due to Jiang Xue’s sudden halt, the bullet hit the wall, making a dull sound.
Failing to hit Jiang Xue, the staff member’s expression changed, and he quickly stopped, turned, and aimed at Jiang Xue to fire again.
However, upon realizing the opponent had a gun, Jiang Xue became increasingly cautious, and just as the opponent turned to prepare to shoot again, Jiang Xue suddenly raised her foot to kick toward the opponent’s hand.
With a swift kick, she landed a blow on the staff member’s wrist. Following Jiang Xue’s movement, the handgun flew out of the staff member’s hand.
With no gun in hand, the staff member had to fight Jiang Xue empty-handed. Seeing the press conference was about to start, the staff member desperately wanted to kill Jiang Xue before anyone came looking for her.
However, the staff member underestimated Jiang Xue’s skills. After several rounds, not only was he unable to kill Jiang Xue, but he also received several punches from her.
As time went on, the staff member felt increasingly overwhelmed. Knowing he was no match for Jiang Xue, he decided not to fight hard and prepared to retreat.
Thus, he feigned a move and quickly ran toward the passageway.
