Chapter 161
"Dear distinguished guests, good morning! Thank you all for attending the 'Technology Towards Innovation' press conference jointly hosted by Hengjing Group and Huarui Group. It is an honor to be gathered here with you all. Hengjing Group has always been committed to..."
Jing Zeyou and Shen Huaichu sat side by side in the front row, clapping along with everyone else, while the sound of cameras clicking occasionally echoed around them.
Not to mention the collaboration between the two major groups of North River, just the sight of these two sitting together was enough to make the cover of this news.
The reporter looked at the photos he had taken, full of admiration. They were so pleasing to the eye!
Wang Boqi sat in the second row, clapping, his gaze occasionally drifting towards Jing Zeyou in front of him. His lips curled slightly, his eyes as cold and sharp as a snake's.
It was evident that this press conference was grand, but the more grand it was, the harder Jing Zeyou would fall later.
He glanced at the time on his watch; there were still thirty minutes left. In half an hour, Hengjing Group's most proud capital would turn into a joke.
On the other side, the host had already begun to introduce the Hengjing Group's president, who was about to take the stage.
Jing Zeyou stood up and walked to the center of the stage, taking the microphone.
Dressed in a well-tailored dark suit, Jing Zeyou smiled and began to detail the latest product developed in collaboration with Huarui Group, including its innovative functions and breakthrough technologies.
His eyes inadvertently swept over the direction where Wang Boqi was sitting, a fleeting glance before he continued his speech with composure.
The time for their confrontation to reach a conclusion had come.
"Has the press conference started?"
Shen Xi leaned over to Jing Yi, who was watching the live broadcast of the Hengjing Group's press conference.
Jing Yi nodded, her gaze fixed on the screen.
There he is!
She spotted Wang Boqi's figure.
Seeing his expression, Jing Yi knew that Wang Boqi was still immersed in his plan, unaware that Jing Zeyou had already taken action.
The worry on Jing Yi's brow eased a bit; now, they just had to wait for the outcome.
Shen Xi glanced at Jing Yi, whose expression was changing rapidly. "Yi Yi, are you up to something?" Jing Yi looked up, her face full of mystery. "I'm saving Hengjing."
"Hahaha... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you!"
Jing Yi looked at Shen Xi, who was already laughing uncontrollably beside her. In this day and age, telling the truth isn't believed anymore.
Ignoring the laughing Shen Xi, Jing Yi turned back to the screen, still keeping a close eye on Wang Boqi.
As for the person next to him, Shen Huaichu, she didn't even glance at him!
He was wearing a dark blue suit today, leaning back in his chair, his dark eyes gazing at the stage, his expression calm and indifferent, unruffled.
He seemed a bit handsome...
Shen Xi noticed Jing Yi's gaze and grinned mischievously. "What's wrong? Do you think he's a bit handsome?"
Jing Yi jumped up as if she had been stepped on, trying to cover it up. "I wasn't looking at Shen Huaichu!"
Shen Xi crossed her arms and teased, "I don't think I mentioned you were looking at Shen Huaichu, did I?" Jing Yi's eyes fluttered in panic, her ears turning red.
Shen Xi found it more and more intriguing and circled around Jing Yi a few times.
"Did I see wrong? Our Miss Jing is blushing?"
Jing Yi pursed her lips lightly and ignored Shen Xi, turning back to watch the live broadcast.
But Shen Xi wouldn't let it go that easily. It was clear that something had happened between these two!
Shen Xi gently bumped her shoulder, gossiping. "You didn't tell me about any progress? I'm your best friend! Spill the beans, did something happen between you two?!"
Jing Yi couldn't stand her pestering and had to slowly tell her about the incident where Shen Huaichu had blocked her at the door.
The press conference was still ongoing.
Wang Boqi checked his watch more and more frequently, his brows furrowing deeper, the unease in his eyes becoming more apparent.
What was happening? Why hadn't the company followed the plan?
On stage, Shen Huaichu had also finished his brief speech.
Jing Zeyou, with his legs crossed, clapped, his gaze catching the uneasy Wang Boqi, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He couldn't wait any longer!
Wang Boqi decided to leave the press conference. Before he could stand up, his secretary rushed over in a panic, glancing cautiously at Jing Zeyou's direction and whispering in Wang Boqi's ear.
"The police just took the CEO away, saying he's suspected of stealing commercial secrets and tampering with company accounts..."
Wang Boqi's face turned pale as he looked at Jing Zeyou.
Jing Zeyou noticed the commotion and turned his head, meeting Wang Boqi's gaze, a small curve forming on his lips.
You lost.
Wang Boqi clenched his fists on both sides of his trousers, the sound of his knuckles cracking, his entire body radiating with rage.
He understood now; he had been played by Jing Yi and Jing Zeyou from the very beginning!
Wang Boqi's face turned green with hatred, his body trembling as he clenched his teeth. "Let's go!" The secretary quickly followed Wang Boqi's steps.
Wang Boqi got into the car and lay down in the back seat, closing his eyes, but anyone could see his anger.
The secretary cautiously glanced at the rearview mirror. "Young Master Wang, where should we go now?" With the company's chairman arrested, the group was in chaos.
When he opened his eyes again, Wang Boqi's gaze was filled with malice, a strange smile curling his lips.
"Let's go see an interesting friend."
Meanwhile, Jing Yi was still chatting with Shen Xi about Shen Huaichu, unaware that Wang Boqi had left the press conference.
Shen Xi was immersed in the love story of Jing Yi and Shen Huaichu.
Jing Yi almost spat out the coffee in her mouth. "What love story?! Is that how you summarize the plot?"
Shen Xi chuckled a few times. It would become a love story sooner or later, so saying it a bit early didn't matter.
Jing Yi gave her a helpless look. With the time approaching, she also needed to meet up with Jing Zeyou.
Big Brother was just over-cautious, worrying that Wang Boqi hadn't been caught and not letting her go out alone.
Aliali: 6748809ec4f3f33ac479c8e7In broad daylight, would Wang Boqi really dare to grab her in front of so many people?
As Jing Yi was about to stand up, she noticed several black cars stopping by the roadside, and a familiar figure getting out.
Wang Boqi?
Jing Yi's brow furrowed. How did he know she was here? She should have known better than to rush out to meet Shen Xi!
Jing Yi was already regretting her carelessness.
There was no time to think anymore. Jing Yi grabbed Shen Xi and ran out the other door.
Shen Xi almost couldn't keep up with her pace, stumbling a bit. "What's wrong, Yi Yi?!"
Wang Boqi noticed their movements. He narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and signaled his men to block them.
Jing Yi led Shen Xi in running, glancing back at the people chasing them.
No! They couldn't escape like this. If it were just her, it would be fine, but Shen Xi was with her.
