Chapter 107: Chapter 108: Press Conference Gets Egged
Translator: 549690339
Just at that moment, Xia Yangyang’s phone suddenly rang.
Xia Yangyang quickly got up to answer the call.
Thank goodness the call came just in time, otherwise she really didn’t know how to respond to Gu Qichen’s question.
Once it’s public, there’s no turning back, but Xia Yangyang still has doubts in her heart.
She hasn’t figured out what happened with Shen Manbing yet.
Nor has she figured out exactly what Gu Qichen’s feelings for her are.
The call was from Director Yang.
Xia Yangyang hung up the phone and walked back to the dinner table.
Gu Qichen was still sitting there.
Xia Yangyang took the initiative to speak: “Director Yang said, at a press conference tomorrow afternoon, they’ll announce my role as the female lead in the TV drama, and also clarify my relationship with Chen Yu.”
Gu Qichen didn’t have much of a reaction, he tidied up the food boxes and immediately left.
Xia Yangyang could feel that Gu Qichen seemed not too pleased.
Was it because she just didn’t give him a clear response?
Xia Yangyang’s allergic rash had improved a lot, only a few faint red spots remained on her face, though there were still many on her body.
However, according to previous experience, it would take about half a month to completely heal.
In the afternoon, many people gradually arrived on the set.
However, Chen Yu didn’t come again.
It wasn’t until the press conference that Xia Yangyang saw Chen Yu again.
But Chen Yu didn’t seem the same as usual.
He didn’t say a word to Xia Yangyang before the conference began.
Shen Shichuan had brought her the script for the press conference in advance, but essentially it was Chen Yu’s show, Xia Yangyang just needed to sit by his side.
Many people attended the press conference, the cordoned-off area was filled with journalists from all major media outlets. Furthermore, apparently Chen Yu’s fans had also come, completely barricading the hotel venue outside.
The press conference proceeded as planned.
The production team announced Xia Yangyang’s identity, with Director Yang Jin personally announcing that Xia Yangyang was the winner of the Cinderella audition for the female lead.
Chen Yu then clarified that his relationship with Xia Yangyang was solely professional.
The journalists’ Q&A session was next.
The majority of the questions were pre-arranged with the various media outlets, so there were no unexpected difficult questions.
The press conference ended quickly.
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, the conference room door suddenly opened.
A student-like girl burst in, hurling an egg at Xia Yangyang without a word, screaming, “Scram out of the entertainment industry, you rule-breaking, innocent poseur!”
Nobody responded in time.
All they could do was stare as the egg in her hand flew towards Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected such a scene to unfold, she simply stood there, dumfounded, even forgetting to dodge.
In the critical moment, Chen Yu instinctively turned around, pulling Xia Yangyang into his chest, and became a human shield for her.
Two distinct thumps were the only sounds.
Both eggs had hit directly at the back of Chen Yu’s head.
For a moment, everyone in the conference room was stunned.
After a second of silence, Chen Yu’s manager screamed from the side, “Security! Where’s security?”
The room’s security had already surrounded them, immediately dragging away the egg-throwing woman.
As she was dragged away, she kept screaming that Xia Yangyang had climbed the ladder by breaking rules.
What followed was a barrage of flash photography.
Chen Yu’s manager and assistant shielded him, waving their hands frantically: “Stop shooting, stop shooting!”
