"Yes, I know. My assistant, Meng Tong, told me."

"At first I was a little worried that Jackie Chan's presence on set might put pressure on you."

"But this is good too, at least it can dispel those rumors that you stole his endorsement and clarify things on the spot."

Dong Zhu said with a hearty laugh.

He was completely different from his usual serious and unsmiling self.

Meng Tong, the assistant secretary standing to the side, was surprised.

Since coming to work for CEO Gree, this was the first time she had ever seen her smile so happily.

Clearly, they have a particularly good impression of the artist Wang Yueheng.

Meng Tong then turned her attention to the sheet music on Dong Zhu's desk.

A complex feeling welled up inside me; this song sounded somewhat melancholic.

Will it really help Gree attract consumers' favor?

"It's not easy to have this opportunity to get to know Wang Yueheng."

"I wish I could work with him privately too..."

Looking at President Dong Zhu, who was on the phone with Wang Yueheng, Meng Tong thought to herself.

Despite being envied by many for being the secretary of Dong Zhu, a powerful female CEO.

But Meng Tong's bigger wish is to become famous and make money simply by using her face.

After all, she was still young and had a pretty face, and she was unwilling to spend her whole life just as an assistant secretary.

Moreover, working alongside a strong woman like Dong Zhu is incredibly stressful and exhausting.

Meng Tong made up her mind to use this press conference as an opportunity to have a private conversation with Wang Yueheng.

If I could enter the entertainment industry with Wang Yueheng's help.

If you could get a role in a movie or TV series, or even the lead role, that would be even better!

...

The next morning.

Kyoto West Second Ring Road, West District.

Outside the Xidan Shopping Mall, located in a bustling commercial district, a large crowd of passersby had already gathered early in the morning.

The parking lot is not yet open as it is not yet officially open for business.

Vehicles from all directions clogged the surrounding streets.

More than a dozen Kyoto traffic police arrived at the scene early in the morning to maintain order around the shopping mall.

"What's going on? Does a press conference by Gree really need so many people?"

"Could it be that Dong Zhu has invented a new air conditioner that uses only one kilowatt-hour of electricity per day?"

As traffic policeman Lao Zhou, who was over forty years old, looked at the pedestrians who kept pouring in from all directions, he couldn't help but mutter in confusion.

Many companies and businesses have held press conferences at the Xidan Building before.

A press conference that usually starts at 10 a.m. is considered good if there are any audience members present by 9 a.m.!

Most of them are either shills given away by merchants as coupons or simply paid by them.

This was all to create the impression of a packed house at the press conference.

Although the Gree Group is well-known, Dong Zhu herself is also quite famous.

But it shouldn't have such a huge impact, attracting so many people that it caused traffic jams...

"Master, you're so out of touch! You don't even read entertainment news."

"Wang Yueheng is coming to support the Geli Group this morning. It is said that he will replace Cheng Long as the next spokesperson for the Geli Group."

"And I'll be performing a new song at the press conference!"

A smart and capable young female traffic police officer standing next to him turned around and reminded him.

Her words clearly showed her anticipation for Wang Yueheng's arrival.

"Wang Yueheng? The one who sang 'Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales' for the Forbidden City?"

"Wasn't this singer supposed to be in Kyoto lately? How come he's collaborating with Gurley again so soon?"

Upon learning the situation, veteran traffic policeman Zhou Dexiang suddenly understood.

"But what makes him, a singer, qualified to replace Jackie Chan?"

"I think the owner of the Gree Group has gone too far in his pursuit of fame..."

But when Zhou Dexiang heard that Wang Yueheng was going to replace Cheng Long as the new spokesperson for the Geli Group, he immediately frowned.

For someone of Zhou Dexiang's age.

Jackie Chan earned his international star status by risking his life to make movies.

Her influence is definitely greater than that of artists like Wang Yueheng who easily became famous through singing.

In Zhou Dexiang's memory.

Nowadays, singers and celebrities are a bunch of young, unattractive people dressed in a nonsensical way.
