The video worked very well, turning the tide in an instant.
@GetOutOfTheTrolls: Those who are swearing! Those who are saying I'm a minor! Where are you all?!
@ProtectOurIdol: Does this count as childhood sweethearts? You become famous, and I pave the way for you. I'm totally shipping them!
@Yan's Group: @Protect Our Idol My boss is here too! My boss is the true queen! The real childhood sweetheart! A perfect match, a match made in heaven!
Yan's Group's jealous response instantly amused netizens, and the topic gradually veered off course, as if deliberately trying to antagonize him, making the online discussion even more intense.
The next second, another lottery event appeared online.
Anyone who tags @YanShiGroup and @MengWan, comments "A match made in heaven" and forwards this post can receive 1,000 RMB by showing a screenshot! Limited to the first 10,000 people!
@SummerEatsWatermelon: I declare! I am now a fan of the couple Yan's CEO and Miss Meng Wan! We need more of these pure love heroes who bring happiness to us ordinary folks!
@gg: Oh my god, he really loves it.
The lottery was arranged by Yan Nian, but because they were in a hurry to get to the venue, the two of them didn't pay attention to the news online. The reporters in the parking lot had already been cleared out by security, and the two of them got into the car without any problems.
"It's still early, let's go eat first, and then go to the exhibition hall."
Meng Wan nodded, having no objection to Yan Nian's arrangements.
Meanwhile, the setup in the exhibition hall was complete, and the live streaming equipment had been tested to ensure everything went smoothly.
As the opening time drew closer, guests began to arrive one after another.
Yan Nian and Ji Sheng sat at the very back, while Lan Xing and Meng Wan watched from backstage to see if there was anything else they could do to help.
"How is it?" Cui Qingling, who had changed her clothes, twirled around in front of them. She was already very beautiful without makeup, and her simple white dress further highlighted her gentle temperament.
"A celestial being descended to earth." Lan Xing winked at her, her playful expression making Cui Qingling relax a little.
"Great." Meng Wan gave a thumbs up.
This dress was custom-made for Cui Qingling, maximizing her figure and temperament without overshadowing her. The strapless design leaves ample space for the necklace to be displayed.
It neither oppresses others nor usurps their authority.
With their affirmation, Cui Qingling felt much more at ease. Having her best friends by her side on such an important occasion meant she wouldn't panic even if something happened.
Besides, with them around, nothing bad will happen.
"You do your makeup first, we'll go outside and wait for the show to start. This is our turf, let's go all out." Lan Xing patted Cui Qingling on the shoulder.
The latter nodded and watched the two leave.
Soon, the lights dimmed, and the promotional video began to play. All the jewelry designs were presented one by one, except for one piece that was hidden away at the very end, piquing everyone's interest.
The slideshow ended, and the lights came back on. Cui Qingling stood in the center of the stage and gracefully bowed to the crowd. Her long hair was styled in an updo, and cleverly, even the hairpin she wore was from the same collection.
The combination of modern clothing and ancient hairpins does not feel jarring; rather, it blends together beautifully, making the wearer appear gentle and elegant.
"Welcome everyone to the launch event for the latest season of Jinghong Jewelry – the original Tree of Life collection."
Without resorting to sob stories or recounting the difficulties and hardships of redesigning, Cui Qingling went straight to the point.
There's no need to say these things aloud, because the person in front of you doesn't care, but the person who does care will naturally say them for you.
As soon as the live stream started, people who had been waiting online were already flooding the screen with messages of boycott for the Wen family and for Wen Qinglian.
The press conference went smoothly, and the designs were launched one by one. Although they were similar to the outlines that Wen Qinglian had presented, the differences between the two could only be seen when they were magnified, and they still lacked a bit of surprise.
Despite the audience's somewhat lukewarm reaction, Cui Qingling remained unfazed. A polite smile graced her face, and her confident and elegant demeanor drew attention to her with admiration.
Regardless, the fact that she was able to quickly adjust her mindset after experiencing so much in just one day is commendable.
"Human life is always finite. Some people die prematurely, and some inevitably decline." Cui Qingling's voice carries a sense of story, making it easy for people to empathize with her.
"During my time in the hospital, I often wondered what the meaning of life is. If I can't do anything every day and can only spend my days lying in bed, is life... really necessary?"
The exhibition hall quieted down, and even the scrolling of comments on the live stream slowed down.
“But my family and friends all tell me that life itself has meaning. My birth made them happy, that’s meaning; as life goes by, I found my dream, that’s also meaning; when I’m in pain, my friends think of me and collect all sorts of interesting things in the world just to make me happy, that’s also meaning.”
When Cui Qingling said this, a faint smile played on her lips, carrying a calming power.
"So I think that life doesn't necessarily have to pursue any meaning. Whether we live an ordinary life or a life full of twists and turns, there are many things that are beyond our control. But everyone has their own tree of life, and whether it shines or not depends entirely on themselves."
As Cui Qingling spoke, the camera focused on her collarbone, and only then did people see the hidden version of the dress.
The necklace is made primarily of emeralds, with the pendant shaped like a tree. The chain itself is strung with other ornaments in the shape of leaves using black cord, emitting a soft glow.
"In the darkness, its light is a deep green, like dark waves surging, brewing for an explosion. In the sunlight, the leaves are a translucent green, with their own shimmering light."
The camera zoomed out a bit, and the venue went dark again as a new promotional video played on the screen.
The promotional video ends with only one sentence: Is your tree of life shining right now?
Life is not evergreen; it sometimes dims and sometimes shines. It will eventually wither, but whether it shines during the process of growing up and withering is up to itself.
It was at this time that people truly began to understand the real meaning of the 'Tree of Life' series.
The press conference concluded amidst applause, and received widespread praise online. Almost immediately after the event, staff members told Cui Qingling that the number of reservations had exceeded the original target.
Cui Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, gave instructions on the follow-up arrangements, and then went to the changing room to change her clothes.
As they came out, there was a loud bang, and colorful ribbons fell from above.
