The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Chapter 19 Press Conference Live Broadcast
Gao Zheng chuckled: "Don't be so stubborn. If you can get through this, I'll throw you a few tables to celebrate."

Qin Yichen was quite surprised by Jiang Li's easygoing and familiar way of getting along with these people.

Is it true that Jiang Li has a terrible temper and no friends? It's rumored online.
Is it fake again?

Can't there be any reliable gossip online?
Cheng Sijun pointed her thumb to the screen and looked at Jiang Li: "Brother Li, the top ten authoritative media outlets in the country have all gathered here. This is to give you face."

The reporters' microphones all had the prominent logos of their respective media outlets on them.

Even reporters from Beicheng News came.

Jiang Li glanced at it nonchalantly: "Is that so? Then I'm pretty awesome."

Qin Yichen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He truly admired Jiang Li. If it were an ordinary person, being scolded like that would have made them lose their composure, and they probably wouldn't even dare to touch their phone.

Jiang Li can still calmly joke around.

……

VIP floor of Beicheng First Hospital.

Mr. Yu has not been in good health recently and has been hospitalized for treatment and observation.

Mrs. Yu brought her two children to Mr. Yu's hospital room, and the group of people kept him company and talked with him.

"I heard Lili is back." Grandpa Yu said kindly, looking at Yu Xuanchen, "Why didn't you bring her with you?"

Yu Xuanchen hadn't spoken yet.

Yu Ruoqi chuckled and looked up from her phone: "Grandpa, Jiang Li can't come today."

Grandpa Yu sensed her sarcastic tone, looked at her, and his old, cloudy eyes darkened slightly: "What's wrong with Lili?"

"She should be busy with a press conference," Yu Ruoqi said with a smile, glancing down at the time on her phone.

The press conference starts at 3 PM, it's almost time.

The real show is about to begin.

"What press conference?"

Grandpa Yu is old-fashioned and quite old, but he is very clear about how society has developed to this day.

Apart from the regular press conferences held by the State Council and press conferences required for some major political occasions, most announcements and statements with official seals are issued on public social media platforms.

What has happened that's so serious that a press conference is needed?

Yu Ruoqi said, "She may have been unwilling to leave the entertainment industry a year ago, but now she wants to make a comeback. Who wants to see an artist with such a bad record as drug use? Now that things have blown up, she has no choice but to hold a press conference to apologize."

Mr. Yu's face was tense. He picked up his phone, put on his glasses, and searched for relevant news reports.

“Dad, there are some things I’ll say again, even if you scold me.”

Madam Yu pursed her lips: "You must have heard about what Jiang Li has done over the past few years. Marrying her into our family will only bring shame to the Yu family. Dad, I can't watch my son, whom I've raised with so much effort, be ruined by a woman like Jiang Li!"

As Grandpa Yu scrolled through the offensive comments online, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Hearing Madam Yu say this, he explained very seriously, "Lili is not that kind of person. She would not do drugs. You are an elder and should not slander her or believe those rumors."

That’s it again!
Madam Yu clenched her fingers, wondering what kind of spell Jiang Li had cast on Old Master Yu!

Yu Ruoqi gets annoyed every time she hears Grandpa Yu protecting Jiang Li.

Who exactly is a member of the Yu family?!

She's so outstanding, but her grandfather doesn't seem to appreciate her much.

“Grandpa, my mom never slandered Jiang Li.” Yu Ruoqi pointed to the old man’s phone, her tone harmless: “You saw it yourself, that’s what everyone’s saying online.”

Grandpa Yu scolded, "Don't believe everything you read online. You need to have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."

Yu Ruoqi sneered inwardly.

Grandpa, you're the one who lacks the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Everyone in the industry knows about Jiang Li's scandals.

You're the only one who treats Jiang Li like a treasure. Wait for the press conference to be broadcast live, and all of Jiang Li's dirty secrets will be exposed.

You'll then know who it is that lacks the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Grandpa Yu then turned to Yu Xuanchen: "You too, Lili is your fiancée, you must protect her."

Mrs. Yu was seething with anger and gripped her bag tightly.

At this moment, Yu Ruoqi suddenly spoke up: "It's three o'clock, the live broadcast has started."

She connected the live stream to the large television screen in the hospital room.

The screen was instantly flooded with red bullet comments, one word after another, suffocatingly so, the entire screen filled with the same sentence.

[Kang-ri, get out of the entertainment industry!]

Old Master Yu's face suddenly turned cold and gloomy.

Yu Ruoqi withdrew her gaze and smiled with pleasure.

……

The moment Jiang Li appeared in the conference hall, all the cameras were pointed at her.

The clicking of camera shutters echoed continuously.

Countless flashes of light appeared and disappeared, the intense light blindingly bright.

Jiang Li neither dodged nor flinched, not even blinking.

She had striking features, extremely fair skin, and long, slightly wavy hair that reached her waist.

Wearing a simple black dress with red-soled black stilettos, she exudes an aura of power and is breathtakingly beautiful.

Instantly, it became the focus of everyone's attention.

She seemed completely unaffected by this negative news.

One reporter was somewhat surprised and said to the person next to him, "Which celebrity comes out to apologize without turning pale, having tears in their eyes, and playing the sympathy card? Jiang Li's attitude shows absolutely no remorse."

"Maybe they're planning to give up entirely?"

“I think so too.” Another person nodded. “But she’s definitely not going to be able to turn things around this time. The news station has sent reporters here. The higher-ups are taking it very seriously. Playing the victim won’t work.”

"I didn't expect the reporters to come. Someone of Jiang Li's stature doesn't deserve it."

"She doesn't have any connections. The news station is probably using her drug use as a warning to others, not to help her, right?"

Cheng Sijun came with Jiang Li and stood in the audience.

She took out her phone to enter the live stream, but the live streaming platform's server suddenly crashed and became paralyzed.

Jiang Li isn't that popular at all.

Where did all these people come from, waiting to see Jiang Li make a fool of himself?

The live stream resumed in less than ten seconds.

Negative comments flooded the screen.

Jiang Li adjusted the microphone on the stage, spread her arms and supported herself on the edge of the table, her dark eyes were cold and indifferent, and her aura was powerful.

She spoke slowly and deliberately: "Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Jiang Li."

As soon as she finished speaking, a reporter in the front row immediately asked, "Ms. Jiang Li, some netizens have revealed that you obtained the role in 'Like a Dream' through improper means. Is this true?"

Unspoken rules are almost always an open secret in any industry.

The entertainment industry is even more outrageous.

But no one ever asks this out in public.

The reason this harsh and pointed question is now directed at Jiang Li is simply because she has no background and can be suppressed at will.

All the cameras were focused on Jiang Li's face, not missing a single change in her expression, waiting for her answer.

Thank you for your support.
