249 Press Conference
""Yes, Grandpa, I’ll go and call someone to prepare it right away," Ye Xiaoxiong said helplessly as he turned around to leave the room and give his subordinates their orders."Mengying, take a seat. Th...Chapter 249 Press Conference - Worry Free Chinese Web
Among the hundreds of reporters today, quite a few were entertainment journalists. This was also normal since this incident involved the big star An Keke.
It was precisely for this reason that these entertainment journalists naturally had an interest in gossip news. So when Ye Mengying got a boyfriend, it immediately made them realize this was good news and they naturally grabbed their cameras to take photos frenziedly.
After photographing Ye Mengying, they quickly noticed An Keke following behind her. However, what surprised them was that An Keke's face was still dark and dirty.
An Keke had disappeared for several days, and everyone thought she had secretly gone to treat her face. Today, the reporters also assumed that An Keke's face should have been healed by now. They never expected that An Keke's current appearance was almost indistinguishable from the photos leaked a few days ago of her being disfigured.
Without hesitation, all the journalists immediately shifted their focus and started taking pictures of An Keke crazily.
While these reporters were snapping photos, Ye Mengying and An Keke had already arrived at the stage. Accompanying them was also An Keke's agent Chen Yi and Ye Mengying's assistant Zhu Qin, along with a female doctor in her forties. Of course, there was another indispensable person who Ye Mengying was currently holding onto: Xia Tian.
"Dear reporters, thank you for coming. I am Ye Mengying," Ye Mengying's melodious voice rang out at this moment, and the venue temporarily fell silent—though someone still took photos from time to time.
"I am well aware of the purpose of all your presence here today, and I know that you have many questions to ask. Please rest assured; I will allocate two hours for Q&A later, but before that, we need to show you something first," Ye Mengying paused slightly, "Please take a look at the big screen."
The large screen began displaying footage of a dark-skinned girl applying cosmetics. After one night, the girl's skin had become fair and flawless. Everyone in the room was familiar with this sequence as it was an advertisement for Xiao Meiniang series cosmetics made by An Keke. Now, however, due to her use of these same products, An Keke’s originally fair and pretty face had turned dark-skinned, which was exactly the opposite of what the ad promised.
"Miss Ye, everyone has seen this advertisement before. What purpose does showing us this serve now" a reporter couldn’t help but speak up with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"I believe that upon seeing this ad, each and every one of you would think it’s fake," Ye Mengying smiled faintly, "But what I want to tell you is that it’s not fake at all; rather, it's about to become a reality. In the next two hours, I will showcase an advertisement-like miracle for you!"
"Who are you trying to fool If this ad can turn into reality, I’ll quit being a journalist!"
“At this point, still talking nonsense Is Tian Nan Group treating us as fools”
“Let’s just leave in protest!”
The venue was in an uproar, with some reporters actually getting up to prepare for departure.
"If anyone wants to leave now, I won't stop you. But I believe that in two hours' time, you will regret your decision because you will have missed the chance to witness a miracle with your own eyes." Ye Mengying said calmly, "As the chairman of Tiansouth Group, I want to tell everyone once again that this advertisement is not fake; within the next two hours, we will show you the true miracle!"
After a pause, Ye Mengying continued, "Regarding today’s demonstration, we have live-streamed it on various websites. Over hundreds of millions of people are witnessing this miracle in real-time."
"Miss Ye, please proceed to demonstrate as soon as possible!" A reporter interjected, and the reporters who had prepared to leave did not immediately depart; however, they didn't sit down either but remained ready to leave at any moment.
"Before we start, let's invite Professor Mai from the Department of Dermatology of Jianghai University’s First Affiliated Hospital to examine Miss An." Ye Mengying nodded towards the female doctor and then addressed Professor Mai. "Professor Mai, please take a look at Miss An's face now and introduce her condition."
"Okay, Miss Ye," Professor Mai walked up to Keke An and carefully examined her before saying, "Miss An’s skin has suffered minor burns similar to diluted sulfuric acid damage; it is challenging to restore it."
"Professor Mai, in your opinion, what medical methods can cure Miss An's face" Ye Mengying asked.
"As far as I know, with current medical techniques, there’s no way to completely heal Miss An’s face except through cosmetic surgery," Professor Mai replied.
"Thank you, Professor Mai." Ye Mengying nodded and then turned back to the reporters. "To prevent any suspicions of deception, we would like a few female representatives from here to come forward and personally examine Miss An's condition."
"I'm going!"
"I'm going!"
At that moment, dozens of female reporters raised their hands together. After some discussion, three female reporters went up on stage. One of them stared at Xia Tian with a strange look for quite some time when she stepped onto the stage. Xia Tian finally noticed her; it was Han Wenwen whom he had seen yesterday accusing him of murdering that bomb killer to Leng Bingbing.
Fortunately, Han Wenwen quickly got down to business, and Xia Tian couldn’t be bothered with her anyway. He had no interest in this beautiful female reporter at all.
"It's true! Miss An’s face really has been ruined!"
"Yes, I’m certain that she hasn’t put on makeup for it. It’s such a pity; I quite like Miss An."
"She isn't wearing makeup either. Miss An is truly disfigured."
The three reporters carefully examined An Keke, even touching her face to confirm their suspicions, and came to the conclusion that she had indeed been disfigured. The other reporters naturally believed this as well, meaning that at least she wasn’t just putting on a show for Tiannan Group.
"Since everyone is convinced, let's officially start the demonstration of this miracle." Ye Mengying took out a cosmetic product and said, "Please look at this. This is a cosmetic item from our Little Beauty series. We will apply it on Miss An’s face. Two hours later, her face will regain its former fairness and smoothness just like in the advertisement!"
"Go ahead and brag all you want!"
"I don't believe there exists such a cosmetic product. If there were one, it wouldn’t be considered cosmetics but rather miraculous medicine."
"That may not necessarily be true. Miss Ye is standing before so many reporters; if she’s confident enough to make this claim, then she must have the confidence."
"Indeed, though I don't believe in its existence, I also think that Ye Mengying wouldn’t act so foolishly unless she has some assurance. Otherwise, who would do such a silly thing"
The people there were talking amongst themselves while Ye Mengying had already handed the cosmetic product to Xia Tian and gave her an elegant smile: "It's up to you now."
Xia Tian took over the cosmetic product and sat down opposite An Keke. Once again, everyone’s attention shifted towards Xia Tian.
"Ah, are you confident" At this moment, An Keke looked a bit nervous.
In the summer, he didn't bother with her and directly squeezed out some cosmetics from the bottle. Of course, to him, these were actually ointments. He rubbed them in his palms and then placed his hands on An Keke's small face.
The palms slowly rotated as he applied the ointment onto An Keke's face while simultaneously beginning an unconventional acupuncture method—acupuncture without needles. Although for him, when using silver needles, the most crucial part was still the ice and fire spirit energy. However, with needles, it would be much easier for him. But now that he couldn't perform acupuncture in front of so many people, he had no choice but to resort to this more laborious method.
Fortunately, as long as he didn't use the Reversing Heaven's Eight Needles technique, even if it was extremely exhausting, it wouldn't be a major problem. After treatment ended, he would quickly recover.
An Keke felt strange sensations on her face—tingling and itching, with occasional mild stings that made her want to scratch. But Summer had anticipated this and she found herself unable to move at all. She tried to speak but couldn't make any sound either. Helpless, she could only endure it; for the sake of her face, she simply had no choice.
"Done!" About five minutes later, Summer withdrew his hands, stood up, and sat down beside Ye Mengying looking somewhat tired.
“It’s now 10:15. Everyone can aim your cameras at Miss An and please wait patiently for two hours. At 12:15, you will truly witness a miracle!” Ye Mengying's pleasant voice echoed in the venue, "And during these two hours, I am more than willing to answer any questions."
"Miss Ye, I'm Han Wenwen from Jianghai Morning News. May I ask if Miss An's face was disfigured because of using your company’s products" Han Wenwen immediately asked.
“You can say yes and you can also say no.” Ye Mengying smiled faintly, “Miss An indeed had issues after using our product, but it wasn't due to any problem with the product itself. It was because she was maliciously harmed by unknown individuals who added strong acid to her cosmetics."ot have recovered even after sleeping for three days. But now, less than ten hours later, his energy was almost fully restored—this recovery speed was much faster.Seeing that summer had woken up, Liu...
