Chapter 123 The turmoil at the press conference
Today's occasion seems to be the graduation ceremony of Weiming's current class, but in fact, it has already arranged VIP seats, ubiquitous sponsorship logos, investment and cooperation intentions disclosed in advance on the news network, and 360° high-definition video with no blind spots. The live broadcast indicates that this is not a simple graduation ceremony.
People came in one after another with invitations, and the people who came were basically people who could talk in the capital. As soon as they entered the venue, they started chatting with the people around them with different thoughts. No one paid attention to the flowers that were spread out and the cream that melted on the desserts.
To them, the crazy sought-after Weiming school badge with the platycodon flower logo is just a fight among children. Everyone knows that what Weiming College teaches has no meaning at all.
But Weiming has to exist. The wealthy circles in the capital have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and their resources have long been solidified. They really need a table to put the cake on.
That's why they are willing to support Weiming Academy. Weiming itself has no real power. It is just a card table among the celebrities in the capital.
"Starfall is definitely going to release something good? Lin Chen, this old fox..."
"He has been silent for so long. What big move can he really make this time?"
"It's hard to say...Starfall has been keeping a low profile since Ke Yue's death and because of the Lin family's affairs, but their scientific research seems to have never stopped. No one knows how far their new technology research has reached..."
"Yes, their family has always valued technology and not publicity."
"But this time the publicity about swords is overwhelming."
"It is said that there is a new patent this time."
"How's the wind?"
"…unprecedented."
"..."
“And it’s only open to partners.”
"Monopoly? This is forcing us to take sides..."
"..."
Lin Yan tried her best to avoid the center of communication. Her mission today was to act as a hidden stake and keep an eye on every suspicious person.
In addition...
She raised her eyes and stared at the tall young man who appeared in the main hall.
Wearing a formal suit and tie, he stood in the main hall today, delivering an opening speech and congratulating the graduating students.
Dozens of telephoto lenses and cameras were facing him, and the flashes were almost continuous, but he just stood there, with ease.
He is here on behalf of the Lu family. He is an excellent role model for all the children of wealthy families in Beijing. He is the only student with perfect scores since the founding of Weiming. He is the existence that best meets the purpose of Weiming College:
"A perfect man".
The outside world thinks so of him.
But Lin Yan firmly believed that perfect people did not exist.
So, Lu Chenyu, do you really exist, or are you just interpreting a character in a novel...
As if sensing something, after all the speeches were over, Lu Chenyu also glanced in Lin Yan's direction.
Then, he showed a faint smile.
So Lin Yan smiled back at him.
Lu Chenyu nodded slightly towards her. It was really very slight, and none of the media present caught it.
Even if they caught it, they probably didn't understand what the action meant.
However, Lin Yan realized it. She stood quietly in a remote part of the hall, waiting for someone's speech to end. Xiaotian also quietly crouched beside her.
In fact, all her attention was focused on observing various situations in the field, exchanging information with Ji Qing on the other end of the Bluetooth headset at any time. "Everything is fine."
Lin Yan glanced around, at least on the surface.
All processes are carried out in an orderly manner, and everything is full of order, which is so natural.
Unnamed students entered the venue dressed up, and Xie Shuyan was among them. Today they are the false protagonists. The etiquette attendants wear a stylized smile and distribute the school emblem printed with platycodon flowers produced from the assembly line factory to everyone.
As time passed by, Lin Yan became more and more nervous.
She felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster. Lin Yan only clapped when Xie Shuyan appeared, and spent the rest of the time tense. .
Xiaotian remained motionless, like a loyal guard: he was always patient with his tasks.
As night fell, the people in the venue gradually became restless, like a pot of water slowly boiling over a low fire, gradually rising to its boiling point.
Halfway through the dinner, the main course is about to be served!
The atmosphere obviously began to change. People who had been drowsy for the whole half of the show became energetic and sat up straight to look at the pictures on the screen.
That is Starfall's most important project this year - the world of swords!
This project has been upgraded on the basis of the original online swordfighting game. It has opened a VR port, making the game more immersive, the operation smoother, and the game plot and graphics have been further optimized.
The frequency of the media's flashbulbs has increased, almost blinding people. However, at this moment when everyone was watching, a guest slowly walked onto the main stage.
He was wearing a black tuxedo. It could be seen that it didn't fit very well and had some strange wrinkles. Maybe it was rented specially for this occasion. He walked with a limp, and his left leg was obviously injured.
However, for such a person who was out of tune with the entire hall, no one noticed him. His presence was extremely low, just like the black color of his body, he blended into the strong shadow produced by the flash.
As he trudged onto the stage, the attention of the audience and the media was focused on the screen.
The Sword World promotional video that was originally being played has been cut! Instead, it was replaced with a documentary-like video!
Lu Chenyu, who was hosting the press conference, turned pale in an instant, and he saw the video clearly.
The content of the picture is him!
In panic, he immediately wanted to say something, but all the microphones failed in an instant.
Subconsciously, he looked in Lin Yan's direction, and Lin Yan gave him a comforting look, so he understood that Ji Qing's team had cut off the microphone.
He stopped talking and returned to the backcourt with Lin Chen silently and calmly. During this period, he refused all media interviews.
The guest in black clothes had already walked onto the stage, and he stood in Lu Chenyu's original position.
He cleared his throat and began to speak: Although Ji Qing cut off the communication equipment in time, he brought a loudspeaker with him. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to reach the ears of the participants and the media.
At this time, the guests finally noticed this weirdo with a very low sense of existence and his extremely unpleasant voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me for my unreasonable behavior today..."
In fact, Xiaotian noticed it as early as the first second he made a move.
Ji Qing immediately sent someone to control this person. His intuition told him that he could not let this person continue to talk.
However, Lin Yan, who rushed to his side at some point, stopped Ji Qing.
"Why are you stopping me? Isn't there something obviously wrong with this person?"
Lin Yan just stared at the man in black under the flashlight and repeated the information detected by Yi Wen:
"There is a bomb hidden in this man."
Evan told her this 20 seconds ago.
