Chapter 2642: Sudden Wedding Announcement (3)

A week passed soon enough.
The press conference was arranged at Huanyu Tower for, one, Yun Shishi’s personal safety and, two, the security to be under their control as the event commenced.
The press conference was set at seven o’clock in the evening.
However, the media people were already streaming into the venue by 6 PM. All were on the edge of their seats as they set up their cameras and equipment, while Huanyu staff prepared the venue ahead of schedule.
The press reception was a grand affair this time.
How grand was the affair?
In fact, many reporters and journalists found it extremely puzzling why more than a hundred seats were set up for a single press conference. In addition to the ten invited authoritative media houses, there were also dozens of seats for special correspondents of various large and small media outlets and online portals. More surprisingly, many foreign media were also invited.
The crowd looked at one another and wondered what was going on.
The purpose of this press conference was for Yun Shishi to make a public apology in her role as a third party, right?
Why, then, was there a need to invite the foreign media?
Had this scandal spread overseas?
Everyone was clearly puzzled.
Mu Xi also arrived early at the venue. When she saw how crowded the place was, with media seats clearly demarcated, and the various logos and brands placed in front of the reception table, she started to fret.
She did not know if the event would proceed smoothly as planned. The manager did not tell her much, except that she should not make any comments and just do as instructed.
This lady assistant, however, had made her inquiries to a reporter friend and found out that this reception’s theme was Yun Shishi making a public apology to Ji Yan.
She nearly hit the roof.
How could Qin Zhou do this to her charge?
Shishi obviously did nothing wrong; why should she apologize to that woman?
The one who should apologize was Ji Yan, was she not?
Still, the young lady had been with the manager long enough to consider the man’s words more deeply. She knew that this would not be a simple PR case of making a public apology. Who knew if there may be a reversal during the event?
As such, she held down her anxiety and waited silently.
Yun Shishi had arrived at the company long ago, but she was arranged to wait in the lounge by her agent. She must appear last, or else the situation may be difficult to control.
Twenty minutes before the launching, Ji Yan appeared at the venue. The reporters scrambled to swarm around the actress as soon as they saw her, with countless microphones of various logos and brands shoved near her face. “Ji Yan, Yun Shishi said that she wants to make a solemn apology to you in public today; can you tell us what you think of it?”
“Are you planning to quit the entertainment industry?”
“What do you think of her lukewarm reaction to this matter all this while?”
The newbie entertainer held her head low throughout the media frenzy and ignored the questions thrown at her. Her manager at one side shielded her from their pestering, constantly resisting the microphones extended to the actress by the reports while exclaiming, “Please don’t crowd around, okay? It’s dangerous!”
“You can raise your hand to ask questions once the conference starts.”
“Can you please return to the press box?”
Security guards immediately came over to maintain order.
The scene got out of control at one point as the crowd surged forward anew.
The assistant became even more fretful after witnessing that scene. She was worried that her charge would be unable to manage the news-hungry members of the media, who might overpower her artist once her turn came.
