Chapter 1150 Making things difficult
"As you wish."
Jiang Xiaochuan readily accepted the advice. Situ Zhen's goodwill came too suddenly, which made him more vigilant.
Situ Zhen nodded, lowering his voice so that only the three of them could hear him: "Xiao Chuan, let me warn you, this situation today is very complicated. Someone is setting it up to get you."
"It's fine if you don't come, but since you're here..."
He glanced around the venue, hinting, "If you encounter any difficulties, or if someone is deliberately making things difficult for you, I can help you out. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Xiaochuan's face suddenly became strange.
He never expected that such a blatant show of goodwill would come from Situ Zhen's mouth when they met for the first time.
Yalan International’s international influence cannot be underestimated.
Situ Zhen himself was also a distinguished guest solemnly invited by Ya Lan, and his position was delicate.
For a young man like me whom he just met for the first time, he actually hinted that he would even risk breaking up with the Yalan Group?
It could even be the alliance behind Yalan International, and the cost would be quite high.
"Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Situ. However, I believe this is just normal business competition and is within controllable limits. Please do not worry about it."
Jiang Xiaochuan naturally did not accept this favor easily and said with a faint smile.
"It's a good thing for young people to have confidence. In that case, I'll go in first."
There was no trace of embarrassment on Situ Zhen's face due to being rejected. He still looked gentle and elegant, as if the weighty promise he had just made was just a casual remark.
After saying that, he nodded slightly to Jiang Xiaochuan and Chu Nanyan, turned around and walked towards the entrance.
When the ticket inspector saw him coming, he hurriedly bowed and let him pass with an extremely respectful attitude.
After watching Situ Zhen's figure disappear inside the door, Chu Nanyue, who had been standing quietly beside him, immediately pulled Jiang Xiaochuan's sleeve gently.
"Xiaochuan, I always feel that things here are not that simple. This Situ family head gives people the feeling... too deep. It's better not to get too close to him."
Chu Nanyan frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
Her woman's intuition told her that beneath Situ Zhen's excessive enthusiasm, there was something unfathomable and disturbing.
Jiang Xiaochuan smiled bitterly. Chu Nanyue felt something was wrong, so how could he not notice it?
"The waters of the capital are even more murky than I thought."
Jiang Xiaochuan sighed and forced a smile, "Let's go in first. Let's see what kind of 'good show' Hikawa Okazaka has prepared for us."
After checking their tickets, the two walked into the main venue. The first thing that caught their eyes was the tiered seating, which looked like a miniature version of the ancient Roman Colosseum. The higher you go, the wider the view.
The most eye-catching thing is the huge circular screens hanging around the venue. High-definition cameras are capturing details of the venue from multiple angles, and even the subtle expressions on the guests' faces can be seen clearly.
Obviously, this press conference was broadcast live to the world, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at it through the screen.
As soon as they stepped in, they immediately felt a lot of eyes focused on them, mixed with undisguised scrutiny and hostility.
Especially the areas of several Japanese media.
Several reporters exchanged glances, and one of them, a male reporter wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a slightly harsh expression, immediately stood up and blocked the two men.
He wore a Japanese media work badge on his chest and deliberately asked in Japanese at an extremely fast speed, "Mr. Jiang, Ms. Chu, your appearance is really unexpected."
"Today is the strategic launch conference between Yalan International and the giants in the cosmetics industry."
"Are you two here because you harbor some deep uneasiness? Or are you simply uninvited guests?"
His question came clearly through the microphone on his collar, and at the same time, the staff responsible for capturing the reaction on the scene immediately moved the camera closer.
Close-ups of Jiang Xiaochuan and Chu Nanyan were instantly projected onto the giant circular screens surrounding them.
This caused quite a commotion and whispers in the venue.
Almost all the reporters who can enter here do not understand Chinese.
This Japanese reporter obviously did it on purpose - he wanted to embarrass Chu Nanyan, who didn't understand Japanese, and he also wanted to put pressure on Jiang Xiaochuan through the language barrier and make them look bad in front of a global audience.
Many domestic media people and guests were surprised to see Jiang Xiaochuan and Chu Nanyue holding hands, and their faces showed indignation. This was clearly a naked challenge!
Chu Nanyue was indeed panicked. She could speak English fluently, but knew nothing about Japanese.
Although she didn't understand the specific content, the malice in the other party's tone pierced her like a needle. She subconsciously clenched Jiang Xiaochuan's arm, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
Jiang Xiaochuan paused, a calm and even slightly lazy smile appeared on his face, and he gently patted Chu Nanyue's hand, signaling her to rest assured.
When he was in Stone Village, the old man asked him to learn multiple languages and strive to pick up girls all over the world.
Jiang Xiaochuan was the one who studied Japanese, the most erotic language, the most enthusiastically at that time.
He turned to face the Japanese reporter, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke fluent Japanese.
"My journalist friend, the invitation clearly states that we are invited as guests to the ceremony. How can we be uninvited guests?"
The Japanese reporter obviously did not expect Jiang Xiaochuan's Japanese to be so proficient. His face was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned around in panic. He was obviously anxious to think of something to fight back.
Jiang Xiaochuan didn't give him a chance and continued, "Speaking of 'uneasiness', I'm more curious about how Mr. Richuan had the confidence to perfectly perform a...highly imitated magic show in front of the authentic one."
His voice was not loud, but it came through the microphone clearly and was very suggestive.
"Wow——!"
The reporters and guests who knew Japanese at the scene burst into an exclamation instantly!
This is too direct and too embarrassing!
The Japanese reporter's face paled, but he finally found a breakthrough and immediately asked sharply:
"You mean to say that you think the new product you're going to show is plagiarized or forged? ...Do you have any evidence?"
"evidence?"
Jiang Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows and smiled even more deeply. "Isn't the best evidence the product itself? The real thing can't be fake, and the fake... can't be real either."
"...We came here today with a learning attitude. We hope Mr. Hikawa won't let us down."
He used little effort to achieve a great result, not only resolving the difficulties but also throwing the pressure back.
After saying that, Jiang Xiaochuan ignored the reporters who wanted to ask more questions, took Chu Nanyue's arm, and walked calmly into the venue.
Inside the venue, the lights were bright, but the tension and competitiveness in the air were even stronger than outside.
The front row VIP area is clearly divided.
On one side is the Yalan International Alliance camp, headed by Hikawa Okasaka, and including Pierre, Samantha, Tanaka, etc.
On the other side, there were representatives of superior status who were there to show off, including Situ Zhen and Jiang Zhenyue who had just entered and had already taken their seats.
In the middle and back were major media outlets, agents, and foreign friends, all with their eyes focused on the stage.
