Chapter 57 One Hundred Points
The starry sky is a cool, dark blue.
In this atmosphere that should have been quiet, Jiang Luo actually felt an unquenchable heat.
It was that gaze that was too intense.
"Because... I have a guiding star."
The words I had spoken on the terrace suddenly echoed in my ears.
The overlapping morning stars—whose heart are they touched?
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
And whose heart is leaping with joy, is beating so fast?
Jiang Luo lowered her eyes and looked at the YB logo on the slanted platform.
Silverlight's large logo combines a sense of technology with a commercial feel.
Yes, business.
This is all just YB's propaganda.
This includes her encounter with He Ziyan on a dating reality show.
They clearly know that.
Jiang Luo thought helplessly, "She clearly knows all of this."
But why, just now, did she seem to have forgotten all of this?
It must be because she hasn't received any advances from boys in a long time.
Jiang Luo took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Forget about the feelings you just had.
This is just a job.
Think of Yan Zihe.
Think about your "boyfriend" Yan Zihe.
"Slap, slap, slap."
When He Ziyan finished his speech, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Jiang Luo also clapped.
"So? How would you rate He Ziyan after seeing him up close?" Ji Bei asked with a grin.
He was quite curious about Jiang Luo's feelings for He Ziyan.
He Ziyan has the kind of good looks that are popular nowadays, and he's prettier than many girls, so he should be very popular with girls.
Although he has a cold temper, isn't he just like the "domineering CEO" in various romance novels?
With his exceptional talent, pursuing girls shouldn't be too difficult.
Unfortunately, Jiang Luo's reaction was lukewarm.
It was almost completely unresponsive.
At first, Ji Bei had considered that Jiang Luo might be playing hard to get, but after getting to know her, he found that Jiang Luo was truly unmoved.
"One hundred points," Jiang Luo replied politely. "After hearing what President He said, I'm even thinking of placing an order."
His smile was distant, as if he were dealing with a client.
Ji Bei could certainly tell that it was just a perfunctory remark, after all, he often used that tactic to impress others.
Alas, the road ahead is long, and Ziyan needs to work even harder.
He felt a pang of sorrow for He Ziyan for half a second, then raised his eyebrows, composed himself, and nodded, "One hundred points, at least it's a good start."
Jiang Luo didn't reply.
Next is the Q&A session.
The main force is the media, which has been eager to try for a long time.
The questions asked by the tech media were mostly technology-related, such as YB's "Brain Cloud" project, and what difficulties ACAI would face in its iterative upgrades.
The course was so difficult that Jiang Luo was starting to feel drowsy.
"I'm a reporter from Silent Entertainment..."
That sound was like a bucket of cold water being poured over someone's head.
Jiang Luo regained consciousness.
Entertainment reporter!
It's like a broccoli flower sprouting in a field of roses.
Out of place.
Jiang Luo turned around to look.
In the media area, a tall, thin man stood wearing glasses whose lenses reflected a white light. His cheeks were sunken, and his skin was a dark, sallow color, giving him an extremely gloomy appearance.
It's Adin.
Jiang Luo had met him before, and he left a deep impression on her.
A-Ting's words were like poison; every question she asked was like a barrage of cold arrows.
Before she was attacked by the entire internet and was still at the height of her fame, A-Ting would ask her some hellish questions regardless of her reputation.
"In 'Twin Lotus,' you are the second lead, yet your popularity surpasses that of Xu Jingyan, who is a child star and the lead actress. What are your thoughts on this?"
"There are many rumors circulating that Xu Jingyan's private life is quite different from her on-screen image. You spent so much time filming together, did you discover anything?"
...
The hellish terror lies in the fact that Xu Jingyan is usually right beside him when he asks questions, smiling and waiting for Jiang Luo to answer.
Jiang Luo once regarded A Ting as a "media blacklist that she would run away from upon seeing him".
Later, she lost her fame and never met A-Ting again.
It was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"I'd like to ask Mr. He, was your recent participation in a dating reality show for the purpose of promoting YB?"
His words were sharp, like a cold sword, cutting through the noise.
The room fell silent.
Jiang Luo frowned. This person really hasn't changed at all!
Ji Bei chuckled and shook his head, whispering, "He's finished."
Jiang Luo asked worriedly, "Should we try to help He Ziyan?"
A strange look flashed across Ji Bei's eyes, and he continued, "I mean, this reporter is finished. When it comes to arguing, Ziyan only loses to his mother, okay?"
Thinking of something, he smiled again and added, "However, Ziyan would never argue with someone he likes, I can guarantee that."
Pretending not to hear, Jiang Luo looked towards the main stage.
He Ziyan remained calm, his voice steady as a mountain, "No matter what the purpose of embarking on the journey, the place where you stop must be directly related to your current state of mind. The present moment is not about staying on a dating show for publicity purposes."
If it's not for publicity... then what is it for?
For her sake?
Isn't thinking like that a bit narcissistic?
Is what He Ziyan said a public relations statement?
Jiang Luo's gaze was unfocused and uncertain.
Adin didn't press the issue; sometimes, digging too deep can actually hinder an editor's ability to work effectively.
He then asked, "Did you choose Xu Jingyan as your first brand ambassador because she is a friend of one of the guests on that dating reality show?"
First of all, Jiang Luo had just learned that Xu Jingyan was actually YB's brand ambassador.
Secondly, she realized that she seemed to have been drawn into this vortex as well.
Compared to the previous question, He Ziyan was much more impatient. The corners of his lips turned down slightly, and his expression became much colder, almost freezing over on the stage.
Although He Ziyan's daily expressions are very subtle, Jiang Luo had seen this expression before, when he had a conflict with Xu Lu.
She knew that He Ziyan was angry.
“If you had done more research before the interview,” He Ziyan said coolly, in a chilling voice, “you would have found two flaws in your question.”
Too direct.
There is absolutely no kindness to speak of.
This is very bad.
Given He Ziyan's attitude, he's bound to be criticized by netizens!
Jiang Luo gasped, and then saw that the staff who had been broadcasting live in the corner had run to the front of the stage, with the camera pointing directly at He Ziyan's face.
After taking the phone, the staff member wore an excited yet lewd smile, the kind that only appears when someone is watching gossip.
Jiang Luo turned to look at Ji Bei again and asked, "Are you sure we don't need to do anything?"
Ji Bei shrugged: "Don't worry, Ziyan can handle it. Also," he raised an eyebrow, "I'll pass on your concerns."
Jiang Luo: ...
After a brief pause, He Ziyan’s voice rang out: “First, YB started selecting a brand ambassador last July, contacting about ten artists before finally finalizing the selection in October. All of this happened before I participated in the dating reality show.”
His cold gaze swept across the audience, like a proud king inspecting his subjects.
He continued, "Secondly, according to your implication, if I'm choosing the current brand ambassador because of a particular guest, why don't I just choose that guest directly? Wouldn't that make more sense?"
What's astonishing is that, whether stating a statement or asking a question, He Ziyan can maintain a calm voice, like an unfathomable abyss.
It was terrifying.
A-Ting didn't answer, as if she hadn't heard, and said, "Thank you for your reply."
Then he sat down, like an emotionless walking corpse, simply answering the pre-set questions without giving any response.
This is consistent with his style.
"Today is the ACAI product launch event. We hope you will ask more questions from a product perspective..." The host took control of the situation, and the questions continued.
