Chapter 478 An Insult
Everyone was still shocked seeing Tristan kissing Zhen-Zhen on the stage. Those people who didn't have an idea that they were husband and wife couldn't help but ridicule Tristan's action.
They knew that Tristan Davis had a reputation for being a certified womanizer. But they couldn't believe that he would act inappropriately in front of the public.
Now, others were thinking that their company model for tonight was just one of his women. With that thought in mind, the admiration they had for Zhen-Zhen moments ago suddenly disappeared.
"She's beautiful and looks innocent however it's such a waste that she just becomes one of Tristan's flings. She is now added to Tristan Davis's collection of women." One guest suddenly blurted out.
Others who heard her just nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Tristan finally released Zhen-Zhen from that long passionate kiss. Zhen-Zhen was still flustered. She didn't expect that Tristan would do that.
But Tristan just cupped her face, gently caressing her cheeks as he looked straight into her eyes. He was smiling at her tenderly.
"Tristan…" Zhen-Zhen softly mumbled his name. She bit her lower lips, her face turned scarlet red.
Tristan let out a soft chuckle seeing the adorable and pretty expression of his blushing wife.
"Stop biting your lips, Zhen-Zhen, I might kiss you again… You are tempting me. I swear I will not stop kissing you right here."
Zhen-Zhen stopped biting her lower right away. "Tristan, behave! We are in front of everyone," she said in a low voice, reminding him.
Tristan smirked cheekily and said, "I don't care. If I want to kiss you then I will kiss you any time. It's my right as your husband."
Zhen-Zhen just looked at him helplessly. Tristan was really shameless when it came to his naughtiness… or rather when it came to showing his love for his wife.
Cough! Cough!
The host finally snapped out of her deep stupor. She cleared her throat to catch the attention of Tristan and Zhen-Zhen who were still acting very sweetly towards each other.
"Mr. Davis, are you ready for your product presentation?" The emcee asked Tristan.
"But, where are your product items, Mr. Davis?" she added, peering at the back. She wondered why the usherettes and the staff didn't bring the Heavenly Star Enterprise product items on the stage.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen just gave her a meaningful smile. Tristan extended his arm to her, asking for the microphone. The emcee handed the microphone over to Tristan.
The other guests were also wondering why they couldn't see any items on the stage aside from Tristan and the Heavenly Star's Model. They were anticipating what products Tristan would be presenting to them tonight.
The directors of the Heavenly Star Enterprise that their sample jewelry collections were not displayed on the stage.
"Director Davis, what is the meaning of this? Don't tell me the team had forgotten to bring samples of the items?" Director Go asked Andrew exasperatedly.
"I think we are doomed… Heavenly Star is doomed tonight," Another director said, feeling dejected.
"Heh, I think this is the most embarrassing moment that I experienced in my 15 years of service as the director of Heavenly Star Enterprise," Director Go had spoken again.
He was not able to control himself from saying that although Chairman Lu was in front of them. He was really disappointed.
Fortunately, Grandpa Lu was not paying attention to them. He was watching Zhen-Zhen and Tristan on the stage with a glowing smile on his face.
"With all due respect my fellow directors, can you just relax and watch what will happen next? It's too early for you to say those negative words. We prepared so much for this event. Do you think my brother and I would ruin this because of negligence?" Andrew had become serious. He didn't like the way the directors reacted.
"See for yourself. After this presentation, you can decide whether you will stay here or just go home to save your faces from humiliation." Andrew said with a little bit of sarcasm. He was already fed up with their ranting and negativity.
On the other hand, Tristan saw the puzzlement and confusion in the eyes of everyone, Tristan just smiled before lifting the microphone in his hand. It did not take long when Tristan's voice was heard in the venue.
"I know everyone here is dying to know what product the Heavenly Star Enterprise will be showcasing tonight. As you can see, we didn't bring any items here on the stage aside from our beautiful and lovely model standing next to me." He turned to Zhen-Zhen, hooking his arm around her waist as he pulled her to his side.
Tristan moved his gaze back in front as he continued speaking. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to show this video to all of you."
Tristan gave his go signal to Matthew standing next to the audio-visual technical team down the stage. After a few seconds, a video was now being flashed on the two large screens.
Everyone's attention was now fixed on the two screens. They could see a majestic view of a highland resort near the mountainside.
Several photos of beautiful landscapes and flower gardens that could be seen inside the resorts were being flashed on the screens.
The surroundings looked beautiful, relaxing, and refreshing because of the tall pine trees scattered around the area.
There were several wooden benches under the trees where everyone could sit down, relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Different native designs of buildings could also be seen in the video. Almost everything was made of rocks, woods, and bamboo.
Everyone couldn't help but be amazed by what they were seeing on the screen. It was clear to them that the video was showing the beauty of the place.
The video continued to play and many more shots of outdoor activities that they could do in that place were being shown to them, such as mountain climbing, camping, archery, and stargazing.
It did not take long when the audience saw two familiar figures on the video. They were Zhen-Zhen and Tristan. They were walking side by side with their entangled hands.
They were talking and laughing together as they sat down on the grass. It looked like they were having a picnic. Tristan lay his head on Zhen-Zhen's lap. His hand was still holding her hand.
The two of them were looking at each other, their eyes filled with love. Zhen-Zhen was stroking Tristan's hair using her free hand while Tristan was kissing her other hand which he was holding.
The guests didn't know why but they felt like they were watching a prenup shoot and pictorial of two loving couples. Zhen-Zhen and Tristan looked good together in the video.
They appeared to be happily in love with each other. A perfect match made in heaven.
The murmuring inside the venue started.
"Wait, are they for real?"
"They look like they are in love with each other in that video."
They were still figuring the real score between Zhen-Zhen and Tristan when the location in the video was changed. They were now seeing Zhen-Zhen's whole body and close-up shots while picking up and smelling the flowers in the garden.
The photographer captured different angles of her beautiful features. The audience couldn't help but mesmerize again by her beauty. Her smile, her blue eyes, and her kissable delicate lips were captured beautifully in the lens of the camera.
Little did they know, the person who captured those pictures was none other than Tristan. He applied his skills in photography. He was showing them his most precious muse and model, Zhen-Zhen.
The ending of the video struck them most as they saw the two figures kissing each other. Their background was the magical and wonderful scenic view of the sunset.
Everyone was stupefied in their seats. No one had spoken again when the video was finished. They had forgotten that this was a product showcasing event, not a film showing program. Tristan's public display of affection increased to the highest level once again.
But after watching the video, they wished they could visit that wonderful place too.
"Mr. Davis, what is the purpose of showing that video to us? Are you mocking this event? This is a product showcase event. This is not the proper place for you to show off your love with your woman. Is that video even related to our event? What's going on, Heavenly Star? Where is your product?" One high-ranking official from the Sy Corp spoke up, mocking Tristan and the Heavenly Star Enterprise.
After saying those words, the other members of the Sy Corp burst out laughing. They were confident because their products were sold out during the event.
They expected that Heavenly Star Enterprise would put up a fight but they were disappointed after knowing that they didn't even bring any product samples tonight.
Tristan just flashed his cunning smile at them before saying, "Ahem… Well, I think there's nothing wrong with showing off the beauty of our Heavenly Star Model. She is a goddess after all! Don't you agree?"
"Hahaha, so do you mean Mr. Davis that your model is also your product tonight since she is the one you showcased here? Well, tell us, how much is her price?" Another member of the Sy Corp had spoken.
Clifford glared at the person who said that. He could mock Tristan, but not Zhen-Zhen. Who gave him the right to speak like that?
Tristan's expression also darkened because of that insulting remark. Not only Tristan who was boiling in rage right now but also Grandpa Lu.
Everyone heard those remarks coming from one member of Sy Corp since he used the microphone on their table when he spoke up to Tristan. Suddenly, the venue was engulfed by tension and a heavy atmosphere. They were waiting for Tristan's reply.
