"Who is that?"
Seeing Yuan Liangping's greatly changed expression, Su Yingxia felt a bad premonition.
However, Yuan Liangping turned a deaf ear, his gaze fixed on the man Chen Fan had invited onto the stage, and he muttered, "How could this be? How could this be? He's supposed to be dead?"
Su Yuhua, standing beside him, turned completely grim.
Although Yuan Liangping hadn't explicitly stated it, it was certain that the man must be the production manager he had bribed.
"Didn't you say he was already dead?"
Su Yuhua spoke to Yuan Liangping with a dark expression for the first time, his tone full of blame.
Yuan Liangping shook his head in disbelief, "This... this... it shouldn't be. I explicitly found someone to take care of him. How could he still be alive?"
Su Yuhua sighed helplessly, "We... we've all been tricked by Chen Fan!"
"Third Uncle, you mean all of this was Chen Fan..." Su Yingxia, considering a possibility, couldn't help but gasp.
If all of that was true, it would be too terrifying!
Su Yuhua nodded, "Chen Fan likely foresaw all of this long ago, turned the tables, and made us participate in a grand play with him. We became pawns in his hands!"
"Hiss!"
Su Yingxia also couldn't help but gasp.
She suppressed her shock and asked, "Isn't he afraid of completely ruining Shengshi's reputation by doing this?"
"Fortune favors the bold, and he has the guts!"
Su Yuhua looked at Chen Fan on the exhibition stage through the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes becoming colder than ever.
Yuan Liangping slumped onto a chair, his shock beyond words.
With such a grand scheme, he at least lacked the courage.
On the other side, on the exhibition stage.
The production manager, in front of everyone, confessed to being coerced into altering the product formulation data, presenting a series of evidence. The entire audience fell silent.
Meanwhile, the live-streaming rooms exploded.
"My God, Shengshi Group was framed! Even a drama wouldn't dare to script this!"
"I said long ago that the Hongyan series had no problems, but no one believed me. Now, you've all been slapped in the face!"
"One by one, queue up to apologize to Shengshi!"
"This bomb today is quite loud. I'm quickly buying ten sets of Hongyan to calm my nerves!"
"Buying ten sets to calm nerves +1"
...
After the live-streaming rooms erupted, the scene also became a frenzy.
After all, among the many people present, quite a few had been misled. Now that they knew the truth, they all became furious. Some even shouted for the mastermind to be found and made to pay the price.
As for the people Yuan Liangping had arranged, seeing the situation, they dared not say another word. They could only echo the crowd, afraid of revealing themselves.
This group of people could be said to be the most stifled online trolls in history.
They hadn't managed to say much from beginning to end, completely dominated.
"Everyone, rest assured, those who used despicable methods to cause trouble will not escape." Chen Fan smiled and then said, "Now, I announce that this exhibition is officially starting. Please welcome our host to the stage."
As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, a tall and stunningly elegant woman slowly walked onto the exhibition stage.
Her appearance instantly ignited the entire venue.
"Oh my god, everyone look, it's the film empress Shu Ziyi!"
"That's right, it's her, it's really her!"
"Shengshi Group actually invited the film empress. This is too extravagant!"
"This is a national goddess! To be able to see her here is truly a blessing in three lifetimes!"
"Ahhhh, the happiness came too suddenly, I can't take it, I'm going to faint..."
...
Amidst the shock and discussion of the crowd, the graceful and poised Shu Ziyi walked to the front of the stage.
She first gave a slight bow to everyone, then smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I am Shu Ziyi. I am very happy to be the spokesperson for Hongyan. I hope everyone will support us."
After speaking, she bowed deeply to everyone again.
This time, the scene and the online platforms simultaneously exploded.
Everyone knew that the film empress Shu Ziyi had rejected all commercial endorsements over the years, and this was her first public commercial appearance.
Shu Ziyi randomly picked up a bottle of whitening cream from the Hongyan series products already placed on the stage, and said with a smile, "As everyone knows, I have an allergic constitution and am very sensitive to many cosmetics. I tend to break out in a rash with even the slightest contact, so I rarely use these products."
Shu Ziyi was telling the truth. It was precisely because of this reason that she rarely used such products, and her skin was relatively less fair.
However, her beauty and temperament were so outstanding that they perfectly compensated for this minor flaw.
Yet today, she took out a bottle of whitening cream in front of so many people, which naturally sparked people's imaginations.
Just as the crowd suspected, Shu Ziyi, in front of everyone, applied the whitening cream to the back of her right arm.
"This is the upgraded version of the whitening cream launched by Shengshi. I will show you the results in five minutes," Shu Ziyi said with a smile. "However, I don't know if it will actually work. If it fails, please be gentle with your criticism!"
Shu Ziyi, worthy of being a film empress with immense personal charm, piqued everyone's interest with just a few words.
Five minutes, not too long, not too short.
But in those five minutes, the live-streaming rooms completely exploded, breaking the records for concurrent online viewers on various platforms. Several live-streaming platforms even crashed, requiring temporary server capacity expansion.
It was not common for a superstar to live-stream and sell products.
During this process, Shu Ziyi also stayed active, constantly sharing her usage experience with everyone.
She did not blindly praise how good the whitening cream was, nor did she irrationally boast about it. Instead, she evaluated it from the most objective perspective.
This made it feel more authentic and trustworthy.
After five minutes, Shu Ziyi rolled up her sleeve again and presented the area where she had just applied the whitening cream to the camera.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
Shu Ziyi's right arm was clearly two shades whiter than her left arm, and it also had a pearlescent sheen, possessing great beauty and elasticity, as if meticulously sculpted.
Seeing this, even Shu Ziyi couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
After a long while, she finally snapped back to reality, and with a face full of excitement, she said, "As for the results, I guess I don't need to say anything further, do I? All I want to say to everyone now is, buy it!!"
