Chapter 81

When the PR staff of Li saw the chaos, they immediately stepped in and secured a ring around Jiang Yu Nan so that the reporters could not approach him

Yan Liang looked at his direction as he departed and smiled coldly

Lu Zheng on her side could not read anything from her eyes. He bowed his head as she whispered softly , “ To pretend nothing has happened is the most ruthless revenge. The more he provokes, the less I will care.”

Yan Liang looked back and forth over his shoulder

Lu Zheng reminded her, but he also reminded himself , “ I will wait for the day when you completely put him out of your mind .”

The reporters were quick to pick up the breaking news , they chased Yan Liang for the details of the divorce

Unfortunately, both parties kept silent

Ming Ting was the only one to help J’appelle. The conference was arranged in the Ming court hotel , but no one thought Lu Zheng would bring her. This was blatant provocation. The other people

greeted Lu Zheng and Yan Liang with smiling faces but there was surprise in their eyes

Yan Liang did not mind. She sat in her seat and waited for the conference to begin

As the first session of the conference, Jiang Shi Jun gave a high level speech and the audience applauded

Li Bo’s new products were launched.

“ We introduce now the new series – Vitality.”

With the spokesman’s introduction , Li Yu , president of Li and chairman Jiang Shi Jun came together to unveil the new product

This was the empire of Li group. Jiang Yu Nan habitually swept a glance over the audience like an emperor. When his eyes passed Yan Liang , he ignored her

“Developed by Japan’s top medical laboratory and

Li team.”

Yan Liang wanted to laugh when she heard the speaker. Then she looked at the two people standing on the podium and fell into deep thought. The outside world would only see their achievements, envy their ability to be among the top leadership in the country. But no one would know how many people they climbed over to reach the top of the pyramid

The product director soon released the product concept to the audience. For every word he uttered , Yan Liang smirked – what product concept ?

It was all plagiarism: “The whole series has environmentally friendly packaging, the design concept is close to nature …”

According to Zhu Chengzhi , the scale of production of this new product was unprecedented. It was evident Jiang Shi Jun had invested a lot. The marketing director who appeared next echoed Zhu Chengzi ‘s words: “ The moment the conference is over , vitality will be available in the department stores, pharmacies, Li stores, duty free shops . Tonight at eight, six major channels and five provincial channels will show the new commercials for vitality. You can watch them here. ”

The big screen immediately switched to playing the commercials. The audience sighed

*** ***

Several stars also appeared as spokespersons for vitality

During the break , the stars, media and the business magnets mingled with each other

Jiang Shi Jun decide to greet not his friends or the stars but Yan Liang.”Ms Yan , do you really have to stay here ? I really admire your fortitude.”

“Everything is a foregone conclusion, even

if I leave now,nothing will change.” She also ambiguously answered back.

Jiang Shijun laughed, looked around, then suddenly dropped the smile , leaned towards her and whispered: “The day after tomorrow is your company’s conference, and I believe that your products have already been dispatched all over the country. I am curious to see how you end up.”

Yan Liang assumed that her expression would be interpreted by Jiang Shi Jun as very miserable, she did not mind at all. Jiang Shi Jun left

Lu Zheng was standing on the other side, chatting with his business partners. He caught a glimpse of Jiang Shi Jun walking towards Yan Liang and his expression changed. He knew that Jiang Shi Jun was not a fair player. He immediately interrupted his chat and walked back to Yan Liang.

Jiang Shi Jun had left by that time. He thought the woman would be upset but it seemed that her expression , after a brief thought, changed to a laughing expression

He narrowed his eyes at her thoughtfully and she smiled at him

“I am curious about what you are thinking.”

“You will know when the time comes.”

At the end of the intermission, the conference continued. They proceeded to show the much awaited segment where the makeup artist used the new product on the spokesperson Ms Ji Kewei and several models.

The people responsible for the promotion explained , “ The vitality series uses herbal and traditional Chinese medicine extracts . Both awaken the vitality of the soul, without increasing the burden on the skin. We can see that Miss Ji is using vitality . The moisture meter shows that the moisture content increased by 30 percent and we can witness it’s moisture lock impact.”

The descriptions were vivid, Lu Zheng looked at Yan Liang beside him looking completely carefree and laughed, “ The conference of your opponents is so successful. Yet you are so calm. I am looking forward to your conference.”

Yan Liang turned to him and smiled, “ My conference will not be as amazing as the Li conference.”

The media was naturally focused on Ji Wei. At this time, one of the models in the corner seemed to be leaving the podium. The media was only photographing Ji Wei, but some of them noticed the make up artist , with his back to the audience , whispering on the intercom. He seemed to have got some instructions and the model left . No one was paying attention to her earlier, but now this move attracted the attention of the journalists. Someone shouted out , “Wasn’t there a rash on the face of the model ?”

Seeing the journalists becoming a bit chaotic, the Li Bo spokesman quickly came out ,”The model excused herself from the demonstration. She was not suitable.”

“ Was it because of the use of your product…”

“ Absolutely not..”

Before the sentence was finished, a reporter suddenly pointed out, “ Even Wei’s face is affected!”

Everyone was stunned.

*** ***

All the models who tried the product, including Ji Wei had varying degrees of abnormal redness, tingling and burning sensations on their face.

The media area was surrounded by security to maintain order. But now the journalists broke through the cordon,and flocked to the podium.

Li Bo’s security immediately withdrew the stars but the models were not so lucky. They were surrounded by the reporters.

Suddenly, the stars, the fans, the PR staff, the make up artist.. all of the people were running helter skelter , the scene was chaotic. Yan Liang almost did not realise that her phone was vibrating.

Lu Zheng in fact drew her attention to it, “ You have a phone call.”

When Yan Liang picked out up , the person on the other end said, “ Ms Yan, the recording has been sent to all major media outlets.”

Yan Liang hung up the phone and enjoyed the chaotic scene. She brought her mouth close to Lu Zheng’s

ear, “ Let’s go.”

What she had just said earlier was not her being modest; truly no one could surpass how “amazing ” this conference turned out to be

Lu Zheng looked at her, looked at the podium, then decided to not ask anything and stood up with her.

Yan Liang did not even look back as she exited the scene.

The reporters on the scene meanwhile received calls from their companies, “Did you not say that Yan Liang was on the scene? Quickly get to her. We have just received an anonymous recording where Li Bo is suspected of copying J’appelle!” But when they turned around, Yan Liang was long gone.

*** ***

Yan Liang had reached the elevator by now

With her was Lu Zheng, and one or two other guests who wanted to escape the scene

When the elevator arrived, Yan Liang had just moved forward when she heard urgent footsteps behind her. Wei was furious, “ We must claim damages from Li Bo.”

Yan Liang looked back. Ji Wei and her assistants had actually escaped the journalists.

“ Ofcourse we will. Now quickly go to the hospital”, her manager said while holding the elevator door for Ji Wei.

Obviously Ji Wei recognised Lu Zheng and Yan Liang . She smiled and nodded at them. Seeing the door close, the people in the elevator were finally relieved when suddenly a hand stopped the door from closing.

Yan Liang heard Wei take in a sharp indrawn breath

The doors reopened, but it wasn’t a journalist in front of them.. but Jiang Yu Nan.

********

He stood there , looking at Yan Liang.

Yan Liang froze then laughed, “ Mr Jiang,your products have already been dispatched throughout the country. I am curious to see how you end up.“

She recklessly repeated the remarks Jiang Shi Jun had made a bit earlier

The only mistake this man had made was not to tell Jiang Shi Jun that she had realised there were spies in J’appelle.

He had underestimated his opponent, and now had been defeated

The other people in elevator looked at him, but Jiang Yu Nan acted like there was no one else.

If he could, he would look at this woman quietly forever, memorising every inch of her face, but after all, he had to stop himself.

“ I do not think we will meet again later”, he said

He withdrew his hand from the door of the elevator and the door again slowly closed. Suddenly he reached out through the door and pulled Yan Liang out

Everyone was stunned. The door closed and Jiang Yu Nan pushed her against the wall and kissed her

There was an air of overwhelming despair around Yan Liang, as if she was back to that drunken night , late at night, when a man kissed her in anguish .

That man.. that night..

Was it him?

Yan Liang was stunned.This warm kiss, could it even be called a kiss ? It was two desperate people clinging to each other, both their hearts in pain, and yet it also felt like one where he was bidding her farewell before he went far , far away from her.

Tears flooded her heart, but were not allowed to emerge in her eyes.

He let go of her.

“ Goodbye”

Those were the last words he said to her.

The conference site was now a mess with some of the media still waiting

Jiang Shi Jun was backstage with the responsible personnel

The R&D director said in a trembling voice, “ I think the product used in the conference room was switched.”

“ Then look at the surveillance video ! Look at the warehouse !”

Jiang Shi Jun was so angry, his orders were immediately followed. Even deputy director Zhu Chengzi went and got the surveillance recording to the security

The tape was played in front of everyone on the big screen

Jiang Shi Jun’s back was to the screen as he warned everyone with a voice that sounded like hell,” Let me find out who is engaged in this, that person will not leave Li Bo alive.”

There was no sound on the video, Jiang Shi Jun did not look back till he realised there was a strange silence in the crowd, their expressions were also very weird..

Suddenly, one of his subordinates staring at the screen screamed.

He frowned, as the expressions of the people turned even stranger, and people looked at him with horror

Now he looked back at the screen

The big screen wasn’t playing the surveillance video of the conference, but a scene familiar to Jiang Shi Jun on a rooftop

There were only two people on the rooftop, and one of them was dangling in mid air

Seeing this , Jiang Shi Jun roared at his assistant, “Turn that off.”

The door of the conference room was pushed open.

A team of people wearing police uniforms strolled in. They moved towards Jiang Shi Jun,” You are suspected of murdering Song Jipeng. Please some with us.”

At this point, the big screen showed that the person who was dangling mid air was about to fall

The second person finally reached out his hand to him.

No, it wasn’t an attempt to rescue, but an attempt to murder…

Miumiu : in case you didn’t get it , Zhu Chengzi is actually working for Jiang Yu Nan. He is the one who speaks to JYN at the end of the mast chapter ( I spoke to her., why are you bending over backwards to he,o your ex wife etc etc) and also the one who switched the surveillance tape

But oh! What is happening with JYN? Unfortunately this is not the happy resolution of everything we thought it would be
