Chapter 58: Eric's Clarification
Xu Yihuan walked up wearing a light pink suit for hosting.
The translator's nameplate was once again hung on the clothes.
Lu Ran saw Xu Yihuan and sneered.
"Who do we have here? It's our Miss Xu."
"Miss Xu pushing someone has become a trending topic. Congratulations to Miss Xu! Most people don't have this kind of luck!"
Xu Yihuan wasn't angry at Lu Ran's sarcastic remarks.
He simply said, "I know you're eager to get the top spot, but you don't have to come without even checking the time, do you?"
Xu Yihuan pointed to the welcome sign at the entrance.
They kindly reminded us, "You can only enter at 11 o'clock."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran took another closer look at the road sign.
Damn! They really did enter at 11 o'clock!
Everyone else arrives two hours early, but the Zhou family arrives only one hour early.
But Lu Ran retorted stubbornly, "So what? I'm willing to wait here!! It's better than some people who can get in but can't get any quality news."
Lu Ran's words were pointed.
Xu Yihuan scoffed.
"Then you'll have to wait."
"Let's go, Miss Gu. If I heard correctly, you wanted to come to our house, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing immediately snapped out of his daze.
He jogged a few steps to catch up with Xu Yihuan.
"Yes, Miss Xu."
Gu Xing followed behind Xu Yihuan, almost losing his composure.
Miss Xu looked absolutely stunning just now!!
Lu Ran stood there, her face filled with shame and indignation.
It's her problem that she got the time wrong.
But it's clearly not a big deal, so why does it sound so embarrassing coming from Xu Yihuan's mouth?!
Sure enough, Xu Yihuan and she were just incompatible!
Lu Ran's face turned pale.
At this moment, a large number of reporters rushed in, all there to attend Wu Qingqing's press conference.
The entire area was completely jammed here, creating quite a spectacle.
Xu Yihuan led Gu Xing inside.
"Alright, feel free to browse around. My father will let you know when the press conference starts."
Gu Xing nodded.
He regained his usual expression.
"Yes, Miss Xu."
Xu Yihuan nodded and turned to leave.
Gu Xing watched Xu Yihuan's retreating figure, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
I have a feeling that Xu Yihuan isn't what people online say.
There must be more to this story...
A glint flashed in Gu Xing's eyes; she loved doing anything challenging.
Xu Yihuan, who had left, had no idea what Gu Xing was thinking.
She helped Gu Xing not because she was kind-hearted.
It was because the person who reported on the street back then was Gu Xing.
Gu Xing's articles can almost always find fault and loopholes in a single sentence. If you could get someone like that to work for you, you would practically control the direction of public opinion.
Xu Yihuan held her phone and saw the new message that popped up.
She smiled slightly, then turned and walked towards the door.
Before leaving, I also took the bag of clothes I had been carrying today.
Time flies.
Lu Ran and the other reporters waited outside for a long time, and finally at 11 o'clock, they were able to enter.
The workers, who were initially full of resentment, all fell silent after seeing the luxurious decorations of the venue.
"No way, is this all the Zhou family does?"
"It was worth the trip."
"By the way, where's the master? Isn't anyone here?"
"I'm a little nervous; I'll be able to check my scores in an hour."
Some entertainment media reporters were snapping photos as they spoke.
They took the photos and rushed to make them as timely as possible, tacitly edited a text, and posted them on Weibo immediately.
Just as everyone was discussing it.
At the banquet, a spotlight suddenly shone on the central platform.
Zhou's mother stood in the middle, while Zhou Yanzhe and Wu Qingqing stood on either side.
The large screen on the stage suddenly lit up!
The screen displayed above shows the content projected from both computers.
[Yuncheng Education Examination Institute Official Website]
Everyone instinctively held their breath.
Someone has already set up the setup and started the live recording.
More than 100,000 people flooded into the live stream room instantly!
[Holy crap, I've been waiting for ages, how come it started early?]
Oh my god, I'm so nervous! Is it time to check the scores?!
[Qingqing looks so pretty today, standing there so obediently. No wonder she's our province's top student.]
Okay, I'll pretend I checked my score as well, since I've seen how the top scorer in the province checks it step by step.
[I'm so nervous!! I don't think I was this nervous when I checked my scores back then!!]
[Hey, it seems like the people next door are streaming too, is anyone watching?]
[Hilarious! His press conference was so unintelligible; this was nowhere near as entertaining!]
Zhou's mother's voice rang out in the banquet hall.
"Welcome everyone to Zhou Yanzhe and Wu Qingqing's college admission celebration."
...
On the other side, on the 28th floor.
Xu Yihuan was standing next to Xu Rongyu, wearing a translator's badge.
There is a long table on the stage.
Some observant people noticed that there was also a table next to it, with a laptop on it.
Could it be that the 1 and 2 that Xu Yihuan predicted yesterday will actually come true today?
The media reporters who arrived seemed to sense it and became excited.
He dutifully turned on the live recording mode.
The press conference started promptly at 11:00 AM!
The spotlight suddenly turned on!
Representatives from the Xu Group and the foreign Osso Group were seated on either side of the long table.
In the middle of the platform.
Xu Yihuan's figure appeared particularly slender under the spotlight.
The girl's uniquely cool voice echoed through the banquet hall via the microphone.
"Welcome everyone to the press conference for the cooperation between the Xu Group and the Ausuo Group. Today is also a new product launch."
Hosted entirely in English!!
The opening remarks were entirely in English!!
The people present were shocked, and began to look at each other in dismay and start discussing among themselves.
"Was that one from yesterday real?!"
"Wasn't Xu Yihuan supposed to be bad at studying? How come she's actually quite good at it?"
"Damn, I don't understand. Oh well, as long as there are brothers and sisters in the live stream who understand."
"This is amazing!! Xu Yihuan's reputation as a translator is well-deserved!!"
Besides the enthusiastic discussion among those present, the viewers in the live stream also engaged in a very heated debate.
Wow, this person is really skilled! Their pronunciation is so accurate.
It's normal for them to have good spoken English; kids from wealthy families probably travel abroad frequently.
[Exactly! Isn't it normal to have good spoken English? It doesn't mean you have a high level of English proficiency. Let her show us her college entrance exam scores if she's so capable!]
[Look at the expressions of the foreign friends next to them, they're all getting impatient, hahaha. They even made Xu Yihuan go ahead, aren't they afraid the collaboration will fall through?]
[I ordered it. Although I couldn't understand what Miss Xu was saying, I could read other people's expressions.]
[I strongly suspect they made their foreign friends put on a show for them, which is why their foreign friends are so impatient!]
Xu Yihuan was unaware of the discussions outside; she simply gave a brief introduction to the new product in English.
After the introductions were finished, the microphone was handed to Eric.
Eric has also noticed the sarcasm directed at Xu Yihuan these past two days.
He picked up the microphone and cleared his throat.
"Thank you for the translation, Ms. Xu. It's exactly the effect I wanted to convey."
"Although today is our new product launch event, I would like to add a few words on a different topic."
"Miss Xu is very capable. I admire her greatly, both in her studies and at work!"
Nothing is more straightforward than a denial from the person involved.
For a moment, the group of people who had just said "the foreign friends were impatient" were silenced.
My face felt like it had been slapped from a distance; it was burning hot.
It doesn't hurt, it just feels burning.
