Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 398 Explosive News


The press conference caused a sensation, and Ye Chen appeared calm and composed, undisturbed, exuding an indescribable sense of grace and dignity.

Ye Chen took his place at his designated seat, in front of which stood a nameplate that read Chairman of Ye Film Industry—Ye Chen.

Zhang Xinlan saw the boss-like aura of Ye Chen and her face was filled with a joyful smile. This man always managed to surprise people.

The scene was magnificent and surely the center of attention. Although Zhang Xinlan had walked many red carpets, she still felt a bit nervous facing such a luxurious assembly.

Ye Chen had never experienced such a scene yet remained unfazed, which filled Zhang Xinlan with astonishment and an indescribable pride. Ye Chen was her man!

"Hello everyone, I am the CEO of Ye Film Industry, Zhang Xinlan." Sitting next to Ye Chen, Zhang Xinlan was the first to speak.

As soon as Zhang Xinlan spoke, the noisy scene quieted down, and everyone turned their attention to this female CEO.

"Today, as Ye Film Industry holds this press conference, I thank everyone present for their support!"

"This Mr. Ye Chen, is the Chairman of Ye Film Industry!"

"I believe everyone is curious about the qualifications of Ye Film Industry. This is also what I am going to talk about next. Ye Film Industry has invested five hundred million, inviting superstars like Liu Yingxiong and Li Yingjie to join, and signing top actors such as Liu Shihua and Li Yan to our company..."

Zhang Xinlan spoke eloquently to the group of reporters, inflating the investment from one hundred million to five hundred million, leaving the reporters momentarily stunned.

However, this is the current situation; even if one hundred million is enough to maintain operations, saying a bit more makes others believe you all the more.

...

"Alright, friends from the media, you may now ask your questions!"

Zhang Xinlan had been speaking for several minutes, occasionally drawing applause and cheers, and after she nearly concluded, she allowed the media reporters to ask questions, seeking to build momentum through the media.

"CEO Zhang, is the man beside you your husband?"

After a brief silence, a voice rang out from an entertainment reporter.

"Ye Film Industry was founded by Mr. Ye, who also invited superstars like Liu Tianwang and Liu Yingxiong to join. What is Mr. Ye's role?" Another person chimed in, seeking to clarify Ye Chen's background and origin.

"CEO Zhang, Ye Film Industry is opening in ten days, is this information accurate?"

"There are rumors that Liu Shihua will also join Ye Film Industry, but Liu Shihua is not present today. Does this indicate that your negotiations have fallen through and Liu Shihua has officially declared her independence?"

"CEO Zhang, some people say you married a tycoon. Is this man a kept gigolo?"

"I want to know..."

"..."

Zhang Xinlan and Ye Chen, seated at the main table, faced sharp queries from the media reporters, instantly plunging the scene into chaos.

"Everyone, please calm down first. I will answer your questions one by one..."

Zhang Xinlan tried to control the situation, but she was overwhelmed by the crowd and quickly swallowed up by public opinion.

The group of entertainment reporters was too diligent; their rapid-fire questions were relentless, quickly driving Zhang Xinlan to frustration.

...

"These reporters are too good at stirring things up. After this press conference, who knows what kind of news will explode from Ye Film Industry." Liu Yingxiong, seated in the front row, watched Zhang Xinlan and Ye Chen surrounded by reporters and couldn't help but smile gleefully.

"That's also what Zhang Xinlan wants. She's a smart woman, and with Ye Chen as her solid support, she's daring in creating momentum." Li Yingjie chuckled, the Kung Fu superstar sitting next to Liu Yingxiong at his seat.

"Yes, I've heard about what happened at Liu Zhenglong's baby shower. In the top circles of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Ye Chen is considered a major player now!" Liu Yingxiong said.

"Remember when I first saw Ye Chen, he was still working as a bodyguard behind Liu Shihua. It hasn't been long, and now he's become our boss!" Li Yingjie remarked somewhat wistfully.

"Li, are you about to break through to the Grandmaster Realm?" Liu Yingxiong looked at Li Yingjie with envy.

"Being about to break through and actually breaking through are not the same thing!" Li Yingjie sighed.

He was already a master-level figure. With Ye Chen's pills aiding his cultivation, he had made rapid progress, yet he still had not achieved the Grandmaster title.

"I've used up all the pills Ye Chen gave me and still haven't broken through to the Grandmaster Realm. You're advancing much faster than me; you're almost at the mid-master phase now, right?" Li Yingjie said.

Liu Yingxiong, whom Ye Chen had treated and opened up his meridians, increasing his skills, broke into the Warrior Master level half a month ago, which had constantly amazed Li Yingjie.

"Yes, after breaking through to the Warrior Master, my cultivation speed has slowed down!" Liu Yingxiong said. "Also, I've almost run out of my pills!"

"You!"

Liu Yingxiong and Li Yingjie looked at each other and unexpectedly burst into laughter, knowing each other's thoughts.

One was a king of entertainment, the other a superstar. They had come here to support Ye Film Industry, all for the sake of giving face to Ye Chen.

"Silence!"

The scene was sensational, and some artists from Ye Film Industry also chimed in noisily. Zhang Xinlan tried to calm them down a few times to no avail, but finally, with a stern look and a sharp rebuke, her imposing presence subdued the noisy crowd.

"Ye Film Industry welcomes our guests, but everyone should abide by the host's rules—don't be too casual!" Zhang Xinlan said somewhat discontentedly.

Ye Film Industry was regarded highly by industry insiders, and the mysterious allure of the company's boss drew the attention of various media outlets.

Zhang Xinlan utilized these media outlets for publicity, but she did not want them to disrupt the proceedings.

"From now on, I will only answer three questions!" Zhang Xinlan emanated a CEO's charisma, sweeping her gaze across the audience, a queenly demeanor that captivated everyone present.

"Heh, my woman is indeed extraordinary!" Zhang Xinlan's imposing performance brought a smile to Ye Chen's lips.

Ye Chen had been worried that Zhang Xinlan might not be able to control the crowd, but seeing the formidable authoritative air of the female CEO, his concerns were indeed superfluous.

"President Zhang, we from numerous media outlets have discussed and summarized three questions we hope you will answer," a plump journalist stood up and said.

Zhang Xinlan's full queenly demeanor, accompanied by Ye Chen's continued silence, kept the journalists present from acting too presumptuously.

"Speak!" Zhang Xinlan commanded.

"Liu Shihua did not attend today; does this mean that Liu Shihua and you, President Zhang, have parted ways?"

This was the first question asked. Liu Shihua was currently a popular star, and even though she hadn't been in the public eye for a long time, her popularity was still explosive.

"I have always stated that Liu Shihua is an artist under Ye Film Industry, and she also holds ten percent of the company's shares!" Zhang Xinlan declared, "Speaking of which, I have some explosive news to share!"

"Liu Shihua is writing a novel, which is extremely popular and breaking many records. The first production of Ye Film Industry will be a TV series adapted from Liu Shihua's novel, and Liu Shihua will be the lead actress!" Zhang Xinlan dropped this bombshell.

"What!" Zhang Xinlan's words shocked many.

It seemed Liu Shihua was on a holiday, and the news about her writing novel was buzzing on media and online.

But these media folks never expected that this major star was not only a shareholder of Ye Film Industry but also that Ye Film Industry's first project would adapt Liu Shihua's novel into a TV series with her as the lead actress.

This news was indeed explosive.

"Now, you may ask the second question," Zhang Xinlan said, ignoring the turmoil in the audience, addressing a group of entertainment journalists.

"President Zhang, what is Mr. Ye Chen's identity? There is no information about him in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, is he a super-rich second-generation from the mainland? Also, did you really get married?" someone questioned.

"Ye Chen is from the mainland, he is not a wealthy second-generation, and we are married!" Zhang Xinlan declared.

"President Zhang, it seems you are lying; you haven't officially registered your marriage," someone suddenly remarked.

"Heh," Zhang Xinlan chuckled. "Ye Chen and I have not registered our marriage yet, but we are together, and we plan to have children."

"Hiss!" Someone gasped, in disbelief.

"This is too explosive!"

Zhang Xinlan's revelations satisfied everyone's curiosity for gossip.

"Alright, Ye has something to say, everyone please quiet down," Zhang Xinlan announced.

Zhang Xinlan revealed quite a bit of explosive information, astonishing the entire audience, particularly the entertainment journalists. This press conference was definitely worth attending.

However, when Zhang Xinlan mentioned that Ye Chen would speak, the venue instantly quieted down.

Since arriving at the press conference, Ye Chen had been sitting there smiling sillily, mute as if he were a dumb person.

Now that Ye Chen was about to speak, it piqued everyone's interest, curious about what the young boss would say.

"Heh heh, all of you staring at me like that makes me a little nervous."

Everyone gazed at Ye Chen, their eyes mixed with various emotions, making him chuckle awkwardly.

This was the first thing Ye Chen said; he spoke as if he were light and carefree, showing no sign of nervousness, but those present knew he was warming up the crowd.

This is a clever man!

"Everyone here is from the entertainment circle, and you all love to hear explosive news, right?" Ye Chen scanned the entire audience, especially the group of entertainment journalists. "Now listen up, jot this down in your notebooks, and once the meeting is over, rush to release the news!"

Ye Chen's straightforward declaration instantly lifted the atmosphere of the venue; this mysterious boss indeed had some sensational news!

"President Ye, as long as your news is shocking enough, I will blast it out like a bomb!" The moment Ye Chen finished, someone responded. "I am the regional director of Penguin; I can get you a Penguin popup, the exposure will be tremendous!"

"President Ye, please go ahead, we guarantee to let the whole of China know!"

Ye Chen's words were filled with edge, making the blood of the entertainment journalists boil; it was clear he was setting the stage for an agitation.

Even the artists present were excited, eagerly anticipating the mysterious boss bringing surprises to the whole venue.
