The red carpet stretched all the way into the Aolin Building.
Shen Jianyi was holding Lu Jinsheng's arm. She didn't withdraw her hand until they were seated.
Qin Yue attached great importance to this press conference, so the venue was also carefully decorated.
On the huge exhibition board were the photos of Tian Tian and Shen Jiayu.
Down below, the first floor of the Aolin Building was packed with people. Many celebrities from various circles had shown up.
And all their eyes were fixed on Shen Jianyi and Lu Jinsheng.
"What's the relationship between Shen Jianyi and Olin? Why did she leave a comment on Olin's official blog?"
"I heard that Shen Jianyi is actually the behind - the - scenes boss of Olin. It's quite normal for the boss to support her own company, isn't it?"
The whispers were not low, and Shen Jianyi heard them clearly.
But now she didn't intend to hide her relationship with Olin anymore.
She needed a reasonable and presentable identity.
Amidst thunderous applause, the host walked out from behind the curtain.
The host introduced the design concept and production process of this autumn's new cosmetics gracefully. Finally, the models were invited to showcase the new products.
The lights in the venue gradually dimmed, while the stage remained brightly lit.
Just as everyone was eagerly looking forward, a young man in a long black robe slowly descended from the air.
He had makeup on his face. His eyes were a charming blue, which didn't seem out of place at all. Instead, it added a touch of mystery to his rather plain face.
The spotlight shone on his face, making his skin look flawless and transparent, like a naturally - formed jade.
And the long black robe on him made this tall and upright young man extremely full of classical beauty, as if he would float away the next second.
Beside him was Tian Tian, also with delicate makeup.
She had red eyeshadow, and the end of her eyes was outlined in an upward - slanting shape with an eyeliner, looking like a cute little fox.
One was quiet and mysterious, the other was lively and playful.
Each was bright and charming, yet complementary to each other.
The moment the young man appeared, exclamations rang out one after another.
Shen Jianyi had expected this result, so she wasn't too surprised.
Shen Jiayu's face was truly full of classical beauty. His features were soft rather than tough. Maybe because he read a lot, he also carried a strong scholarly air.
"Good - looking?"
The voice of Lu Jinsheng came from beside her.
Shen Jianyi turned her head and saw the man's tense jawline.
"Not bad."
After all, he was the person she had chosen.
Judging from today's reaction, Shen Jiayu wouldn't have to worry about his future in the circle.
Normally, after the model show, it would be Shen Jianyi's turn to give a speech on stage. But Shen Jianyi didn't like to give a speech in front of so many people, so she simply refused Qin Yue's suggestion.
Lu Jinsheng also knew about this. Qin Yue had pestered Shen Jianyi for a long time. Then, somehow, Shen Jianyi managed to persuade Qin Yue. Finally, she stopped bringing that annoying boy named Shen Jiayu to the Lu family.
But soon, Lu Jinsheng found out how Shen Jianyi had done it.
"Let's invite Mr. Lu Jinsheng to the stage to speak."
The host looked at the script in his hand and said somewhat uncertainly.
The whole venue was in an uproar.
Even Lu Jinsheng showed a fleeting look of surprise on his face.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Lu."
Shen Jianyi winked playfully.
Lu Jinsheng pinched her thigh as if in revenge, then straightened his clothes.
Just when everyone thought Lu Jinsheng wouldn't go on stage, that outstanding man walked step by step onto the stage under the spotlight.
He was a natural focus.
Just standing there without saying a word was enough to attract people's attention.
And such an excellent man was hers.
Shen Jianyi smiled. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw several men in dark - blue clothes walking quickly towards the backstage.
That kind of clothes... seemed to be the staff from the testing agency?
Wasn't the new product sent to the testing agency for testing before the press conference? Why were the people from the testing agency here again?
But Shen Jianyi's attention was soon drawn to Lu Jinsheng on stage.
"I'm very glad that everyone has come to participate in Olin's new product press conference. Shen Jianyi, my wife, founded Olin on her own - "
As soon as these words were spoken, the news that Shen Jianyi was the behind - the - scenes person in charge of Olin was finally confirmed.
But many people already knew about this, so it wasn't really surprising.
What was surprising was what Lu Jinsheng said next.
"From now on, Olin will be the only cosmetics brand that the Lu Group will cooperate with - "
The only cosmetics brand for cooperation?
The whole first floor of the Aolin Building was in an uproar.
Not to mention the financial strength of the Lu Group, just its fame. If a company could partner with the Lu Group, it would surely become well - known in a short period of time.
And now, with just one word from Lu Jinsheng, Olin had become the exclusive cosmetics supplier of the Lu Group. One could imagine how lucrative the future profits would be.
Just as everyone was shocked and whispering, a slender figure stood up in the front row.
She was wearing a proper light - colored business suit, and her long black hair was coiled up, looking capable and extremely elegant.
But her face carried a sweet smile that was extremely inappropriate for her dressing.
She was just like a little girl wearing adult clothes.
"Sorry, Mr. Lu. I'm afraid this matter needs to be reconsidered."
The woman's voice wasn't very loud, but it could be clearly heard in the enclosed venue.
It was Lu Yuan.
Shen Jianyi sat up straight. Her bright eyes were full of curiosity as she looked at the beautiful figure not far from her.
Lu Jinsheng frowned unhappily and said coldly, "Since when has the Lu Group been decided by you?"
"We all have seen Olin's strength. Mr. Lu's decision must be right. It's just - "
Lu Yuan's red lips curved. She tilted her body slightly and looked into Shen Jianyi's eyes. "The mercury content in Olin's cosmetics exceeds the standard. Brother, do you really want to bet the Lu Group's reputation?"
Mercury?
The figures in blue suddenly flashed through Shen Jianyi's mind.
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, everyone's faces changed.
A test result of excessive mercury content was a fatal blow to the cosmetics industry.
Although long - term use of cosmetics with excessive mercury content could make the skin fair in the short term, in the long run, it could induce skin diseases, and even skin cancer in more serious cases.
Qin Yue's face also looked very bad.
She had personally taken the samples to the testing agency for the cosmetics test. How could the mercury content suddenly exceed the standard!
Moreover, as the person in charge, she didn't even know about this. How could Lu Yuan know!
She walked towards the back with a gloomy face. Unexpectedly, Shen Jianyi had already walked quickly towards the backstage one step ahead of her.
On the stage, Lu Jinsheng glanced at the empty seat where Shen Jianyi had been sitting, then looked at Lu Yuan: "Excessive mercury content?"
Lu Yuan stared fearlessly into those cold and sharp eyes.
"Yes. I know big brother wants to cooperate with sister - in - law's company, so I sent someone to test the cosmetics of sister - in - law's company again. Unfortunately, the report doesn't seem to be very satisfactory."
