Xia Wei Liang's press conference was held almost immediately after the recording of the program.
The media reporters, who received the invitation so suddenly, were a bit stunned. However, there was no time to think much, and they all rushed to the press conference site as quickly as possible. It was only then that they discovered Xia Wei Liang had everything prepared in advance.
Although Ji Huan and Nuo Mi were also surprised by her actions, they quickly got into character and were responsible for maintaining order at the scene.
As a large number of media reporters arrived one after another, they realized that only a small portion had received invitations. Some were not well-known in the industry at all, and many were junior reporters whose names they couldn't even recall. Instead, many influential and well-known reporters were blocked outside!
When Brother Mao received the invitation, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, wondering if he had transmigrated!
He was just a paparazzo with not much success, always marginalized in the company! When the invitation popped up in his mobile phone's email, he was stunned for ten minutes!
He... he actually received one too?
But why?!
In just one hour, those who received an invitation to Xia Wei Liang's press conference had already become industry benchmarks. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was historical!
Brother Mao didn't have time to tidy himself up. When he appeared in his faded t-shirt and flip-flops, carrying his second-hand equipment, the media reporters on both sides cast envious yet resentful glances.
What kind of people are these?
If even someone like him could get in, why couldn't they!
The reporters entering the venue gave the impression of walking the red carpet.
As all the invited reporters arrived, the press conference was about to begin.
Soon, Xia Wei Liang appeared.
Countless flashbulbs pointed at her as she smiled and sat down.
"I believe everyone here must be wondering why it's you all?"
Everyone nodded eagerly, indeed finding it very inexplicable.
"The reason is simple: all of you present have shown restraint in your reporting before, and only a very few have seriously analyzed the entire situation and written articles with their brains." She smiled and said, "I am a very vengeful person, but I also know how to repay kindness. Since you didn't kick me when I was down, I will naturally reciprocate."
As she finished speaking, a wave of applause erupted from the audience.
Brother Mao clapped until his palms were red, wiping away tears as he clapped.
It wasn't that he was overly sentimental, but rather...
His life had truly been too difficult!
Writing a couple of smear articles to create sensationalism was enough for him to sit in the office, drink coffee, and play games. He refused to violate basic principles of being a human, which led to him being relegated to a stalking paparazzo...
He was just utterly stifled!
All the media professionals knew what this press conference meant.
Being invited meant their careers would advance to the next level, let alone someone like him who could be eliminated at any moment? This was undoubtedly a shield against death!
What was even more rare was that everyone could see that Xia Wei Liang was actually making an effort to help them!
It was often the media reporters who told the truth, spoke with conscience, didn't follow the crowd, and didn't echo others that had less than satisfactory careers.
Precisely because they had experienced hardship, they wanted to hold umbrellas for others.
Everyone felt the depth of her intentions, and the applause continued unabated.
The reporters outside, unaware of what was happening inside, tried every means to gather information, even going to the restrooms to see if they could find a shortcut.
Unexpectedly, the security measures outside the venue were extremely tight!
All the security personnel came from a martial arts school, with a golden dragon pattern surrounding the character "Song" behind them.
At this moment, a luxury car stopped outside the venue.
Xia Xiao Qiu helped Xie Wan Fen out of the car.
Xie Wan Fen walked over gracefully. Nuo Mi had never met this great-aunt, but she recognized Xia Xiao Qiu. "Sister Xiao Qiu!"
Upon learning that the two had come specifically to support Xia Wei Liang, Nuo Mi immediately invited them in.
Seeing her great-aunt, Xia Wei Liang was also surprised. "Great-aunt? Why are you here?"
"Of course, to see my dear granddaughter!"
Xie Wan Fen had a strong aura and an elegant demeanor. Dressed in a graceful qipao, she was clearly a woman of insight, experience, and great upbringing.
Xia Wei Liang was very touched. She stood up and hugged her. "Thank you, Great-aunt. I thought..."
Xie Wan Fen smiled and patted her back. "Silly girl, why didn't you tell Great-aunt about such a big incident? Great-aunt would never let you suffer such injustice!"
She nodded with red eyes.
Xia Xiao Qiu also patted her chest and said, "Sister, whether we are related by blood or not, I don't know. I only know that you will always be my sister!"
Even the reporters on stage were moved by this scene.
After Xie Wan Fen and Xia Xiao Qiu sat down with Xia Wei Liang, the main doors opened again, and Director Song appeared with the entire cast of "Challenge It!".
"Director Song..."
Xia Wei Liang looked at Director Song, Sister Hua, Brother Cheng, and the others, choked with emotion and unsure of what to say.
Director Song merely nodded slightly at her and, without disturbing her, sat down below with his people. Su Dan Novel Network.
Sister Hua and Brother Cheng smiled encouragingly at her. "Sister, we're sitting right here, so you just speak your mind."
Just as they were settling down, Chu Qiao hurried over. "Wei Liang, don't be afraid! I'm here!"
Xia Wei Liang smiled and waved at her from above.
Seeing her friends sitting below, with her great-aunt and cousin accompanying her, Xia Wei Liang was enveloped in a sense of security.
"Then let's..."
Before she could finish, a reporter said, "Shouldn't we wait a little longer?"
She was stunned. "Wait for what?"
Immediately, other reporters chimed in, "Of course, we're waiting for the most important person!"
Brother Mao understood instantly and stood up excitedly. "We're not in a hurry! Let's wait a little longer, what if someone else hasn't arrived yet?"
Xia Wei Liang faltered. If she still didn't understand, it would be disingenuous.
But...
Now, her relationship with him was just a little more than strangers, colleagues. His help might be out of sympathy and a sense of justice.
She wouldn't hold out too much hope.
Sister Hua and Brother Cheng, who never missed an opportunity to join in the fun, immediately said, "Yes, yes, Liang'er, traffic is still heavy at this hour!"
"Exactly! None of us have anything urgent, so let's wait a little longer!"
Xia Wei Liang couldn't help but laugh and cry. "Brothers and sisters, please listen to me, I really don't think..."
The doors suddenly pushed open.
A familiar tall figure suddenly appeared.
Everyone looked in that direction, followed by a wave of cheers.
"Ahhhh! See what I said? He's here, he's here! He's here!"
"Oh my god! In all my years in this industry, I've never truly rooted for any CP! This pair today is impossibly perfect!"
Xiao Yi, looking travel-worn, strode in, his gaze fixed on the young girl on stage.
Slowly, he smiled at her, his thin lips parting, and uttered a soft sentence: "I'm here."
Xia Wei Liang stared at him blankly. In the softest corner of her heart, no matter how much she guarded it, she couldn't prevent it from crumbling again...
