Chapter 49: Not Taking the Grassroots Route

while. You don't have to worry, I won't take your money. I'll work hard and earn money to support both of our parents."An unexpected text message forced her to take a second look at her younger brothe...This is what her mother had always, repeatedly emphasized to her. How could she not know that men are untrustworthy and rarely unexpected

Lost in thought, he fell asleep.

Zuo Yu'an didn't know when he got up. When she woke up, he was already dressed and ready to go out. Today was Zuo Yuan Technology's new product launch conference, and he was the main speaker. At this time, he was wearing a suit and trousers, with a white shirt underneath. His hair was combed neatly, exuding both the demeanor of a business elite and an unparalleled air of nobility.

Shu Tinglan smiled, "I thought you'd be wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Isn't that the standard attire for your industry's new product launches All about appearing down-to-earth."

Zuo Yu'an turned back and smiled: "Blindly following the crowd is so tacky. Besides, I don't take the populist route."

Indeed, his public image is always that of a well-dressed and aloof figure, far removed from the common people.

"If you come to the press conference, let me know in advance and I'll pick you up."

"Okay."

Tickets to the Zhuoyuan Technology press conference were in high demand, with attendees including industry peers, distributors, and media representatives. Actually, Shu Tinglan had already obtained three tickets from Lin Zhifei and planned to attend with Director Xiao and Zhou Ming.

Shu Tinglan didn't expect that the internal ticket Lin Zhihao had given her was in the very center of the first row.

Lin Zhi'an was also there, quietly saying to Shu Tinglan:

"The person in charge thought I was the real girlfriend of Mr. Zhuo, so he gave me the best tickets, of course."

Director Xiao and Zhou Ming sat on the other side of Shu Tinglan, they didn't hear Lin Zihui's words. Zhou Ming also leaned in slightly and whispered to Shu Tinglan.

"Is Mr. Zhu really with Lin Zhixuan"

In his opinion, Lin Zhi's ability to get this position, and even four tickets at once, must have a deep relationship.

"They weren't together, it was just a rumor," Shu Tinglan explained.

"Huh Really not together"

"Yes."

"Is that Mr. Zhu pursuing Lin Zhi," Zhou Ming still found it unbelievable.

"It's probably not the case," Shu Tinglan thought, unwilling to flatly deny such a speculative statement.

"Tinglan, you're still too innocent sometimes," Zhou Ming said with a soft smile beside her.

After all, it was gossip about other people, so their voices were very low. The two of them inevitably leaned in close to each other, like whispering secrets into each other's ears, creating an ambiguous and flirtatious atmosphere.

At this moment, the lights on the stage shone brightly. Zhu Yu'an walked onto the stage amidst the expectant gazes and thunderous applause of the crowd. He glanced casually at the audience seats. For some reason, Shu Tinglan had an illusion. When he saw her and Zhou Ming in the middle, his eyes turned cold, completely different from when he went out this morning.

Could it be because they occupy important positions

The first row, in the center, is supposed to be reserved for important clients or VIPs. Now it's occupied by her and Zhou Mingxiao, the director. Anyone would feel unhappy about this, right

Shū Tínglan instantly felt uneasy, and whispered to Lín Zhīfēi beside her.

"Should we move to a spot further back This isn't really a good place, is it"

"What's wrong My ticket is for this seat, and I haven't taken anyone else's."

< Well, since it has come to pass, let it be. >

After Zhu Yu'an took the stage, the lights on the podium gradually dimmed, with only a circular beam of light following him. Wherever he stood, the light followed, shining as brightly as a star.

On the massive screen, there was a video of the new product being released. The entire scene presented itself, similar to a 3D movie experience, like entering a high-tech museum that was dazzling. Zhuo Y uan introduced the product's features, core points, and exquisite exterior lighting in a slow and steady tone, firmly capturing everyone's attention in the audience.

Beneath the massive screen, he stood there talking eloquently. His eyes held love, passion, and the confidence of one who commands the future of high technology. His very existence seemed to be for these technologies. Shu Tinglan had never seen this side of him before. Not the man who did mundane chores for her at home, not the man who lost control easily in bed. At this moment, he was more like a god, the master of this domain.

Shu Tinglan was dumbfounded, her heart once again surging with an overwhelming affection she couldn't suppress. She thought, anyone would be hard-pressed to ignore this man's presence.

Beside her, Lin Zhifan clutched his heart and wailed.

"Damn, he's slaughtering it out there, that's so freaking cool. If it weren't for you, I'd totally be chasing after him, even if it meant being a total pest."

Shu Tinglan's heart was beating wildly too, he on the stage was dazzling and breathtaking.

As the speech ended, a swarm of media rushed the stage to interview him. He didn't seem annoyed at all. To the reporters' product-related questions, he answered each one thoroughly and professionally.

At the same time, all online platforms were broadcasting his speech video, and some self-media outlets wrote thousands of words of micro-essays, saying that this product from Zhuoyuan Technology was groundbreaking and epoch-making...

Experts see the way, laymen just see the excitement.

Apart from peers and some enthusiasts who genuinely analyze the product's features, most netizens are immersed in Zhuo YUAN's appearance, temperament, and demeanor.

Full-screen

So handsome,

He killed me.

A truly domineering president, there's no sample to dream of.

Then someone quickly uncovered his identity.

"The domineering president is just his facade, do you know his true background"

"What's the background"

"You can just Google it. For that kind of family in the capital city, there's only one with the surname Zhuo."

"Holy **, holy **, that's amazing!"

"Please be careful with your words to avoid being banned or having the group disbanded."

Of course, Shu Tinglan couldn't see these netizens' discussions because she rarely used these platforms. Only Lin Zhifan, the internet celebrity blogger, would spend 24 hours a day online, silently following everything and then quietly searching for news about the Zhuo family in Beijing. She thought to herself, it was probably just baseless rumors from netizens who were jumping to conclusions.

There's an exclusive interview with Zhu Yu-an afterwards, but Wang Yan accompanies him, so Wang Yan answers all the technical questions. He only talks about the future development direction of Zhuyuan Technology, using official language and lacking sincerity. During the breaks, I sent a WeChat message to Shu Tinglan.

"Wait for me five minutes, after the interview, we'll go back to the company together."

"No need, I'm going back to the law firm with Director Xiao and Teacher Zhou today. The colleagues responsible for due diligence of Shengpu Rui are all back at the office and will be having a meeting."

"Ok, see you tonight."

Lin Zhifan, who was walking to the garage with her, saw her WeChat message and snatched it away to reply.

"Mr. Zhuo, I'm Lin Zhixuan, so I'll take your car back to Zhuyuan, I'll wait for you by your car."

After finishing typing, she shoved the phone back into Shu Tinglan's hand.

"You go with Director Xiao, I'll wait for Mr. Zhuo."

Lin Zhi's figure disappeared like the wind and fire, leaving no time for Shu Tinglan to respond. She was a little uneasy after seeing the online expose about Zhuo Yu'an's identity today. If he truly was from the prestigious Zhuo family in Beijing, Shu Tinglan had to distance herself from him.od last time. It wasn't a whim, but rather a thought that it would be better for the three families to live close by and have frequent interactions.This time, it was Ruan Ruan who smiled. "Love and...
