third relationship

August 2012, 8, press conference.

Deep down in his heart, Li Rong dislikes such occasions. He has always kept a low profile and has no hobby of showing off in front of the media. Looking at the feeling of cutting over and over again, he, who cares about his face, is naturally very disgusted.

But now is clearly not the time to complain.

There is an unwritten rule in social occasions: if you are here to make public demonstrations and take an oath of sovereignty, you generally wear a red tie; on the contrary, if you think it is appropriate to keep a low profile and calm things down, a blue tie is undoubtedly a better choice.

Li Rong is wearing blue today.As soon as he entered the venue, the reporter who had been waiting for a long time rushed over and handed over the microphone:

"Mr. Li, what do you think of the recent scandal?"

"Mr. Li, does the content published in Orange Weekly have any impact on your marriage with Miss He? Will the engagement ceremony still take place?"

"Mr. Li, may I ask why Ms. He didn't attend with you? Is there a change in the engagement?"

"Mr. Li, will the Wanchai real estate project that you jointly invested with the He family have any impact? What does Mr. He think of the photos?"

……

Obviously, today's situation of Li Rong attending the press conference alone has already made many reporters think that the marriage contract has failed, and as the powerful party in the marriage and the victim of the scandal, his unilateral announcement of the breakup is not only effective, but also easy to write a press release. many.

But Li Rong came here today obviously not to make their wishes come true.

"Can I go up to the podium first?"

Li Rong randomly found a microphone and asked.The whole audience was suddenly much quieter. Several reporters hesitated a few times and moved out of the way.

It took 4 minutes for Li Rong to walk from the entrance of the venue to the podium.It was inconvenient for the reporter to speak, so his arrogance naturally dropped a lot.It wasn't until he adjusted the microphone unhurriedly on the podium that he finally spoke:

"First of all, Li is very grateful to all of you for your concern about my private life. But your concern has caused very serious troubles to my fiancée. I hope that after Li clarifies the truth today, you can stop harassing her and ease it Her pressure." Li Rong paused, and then said, "The engagement ceremony will still be held at the original time, and will not be disturbed by any external factors, so don't worry too much."

There was an uproar.

Li Rong has never been a person who pleases reporters a lot. Even when he has to show weakness because of product problems or business problems, his weakness can be shown in a hidden way, which makes people feel very upset.But this time, although his tone was quite gentle, the information he revealed was like a loud slap in the face, straight on the faces of those who asked those questions.

"Then how does Mr. Li explain the photos that Ms. He released earlier?" A reporter asked, still a little unwilling.

Li Rong glanced at the man.The hand of the reporter raised the microphone was trembling, but he still insisted: "Ms. He did not attend the press conference. Is it Mr. Li's unilateral decision to keep the marriage contract, or is it the result of joint discussions with Ms. He?"

"My opinion is, of course, an opinion reached jointly by me and my fiancée. As for not attending the press conference, it is my unilateral request. I can handle things by myself. There is no need to cause her to be wronged." Li Rong wrote lightly , "As for those photos, when everyone is young and frivolous, it is a great violation of my fiancée's personal privacy. We will sue the court for investigation and safeguard our legal rights as Hong Kong citizens. I also hope that you will not Blindly imitate this kind of behavior and respect our legal demands, thank you."

His every word and deed, obviously defended He Qiongyin to the extreme, and the soft nails hidden in it made the reporters' hearts tremble. It seems that today, most likely, there will be no hot spots.

After asking a few more innocuous questions, the press conference ended.Li Rong went to the backstage bathroom to wash his hands, looking at himself in the mirror, feeling ridiculous for no reason.

He didn't bring He Qiongyin to attend, because he knew that whether he was showing his affection in public, or pretending to have a deep friendship, everything was silent. These reporters could find the most unnatural point, coupled with infinite magnification and analysis, when the news hit , his image will inevitably be damaged, which is not conducive to bargaining with Erfang.

Is it really just that?

It has been a long time since he was on the cusp of dealing with reporters like this time. The last time was in 01, when a real estate project his father took over encountered the investor's bankruptcy. If there is no home, the project will only be suspended, and the initial investment will inevitably go to waste.

That project not only had a large amount of money, but also had a strong influence. After the capitalist went bankrupt, it immediately pointed the finger at the Li family.At that time, it was not long before Li Rong took over the company, and the board of directors was not fully committed to him.Many people secretly evaluated, saying that he might have a big fall.

Under the cusp of the storm, he chose to hold a press conference.

In this situation, Li Rong did not lose his footing --- the root of his troubles lies in the public's suspicion of him, and this suspicion has reacted to the media and the board of directors.If the media can be settled, everything will naturally be solved.

Survival on a desperate road, but it can also be said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger.

Shen Qi was the first to call him after hearing the news.

At that time, they had already confirmed their relationship as bed partners, but the years of unfamiliarity and the estrangement in their hearts prevented them from getting close.His tone was not good at first: "What are you looking for me for?"

Shen Qi was silent for a moment, and said, "You are right to do this."

Li Rong's heart trembled.

After making this decision, he was not far away from betraying relatives.He is very clear that if this trip is not successful, it will be benevolent, and the possibility of the latter is far greater than the former.But when there is no way to go, as long as there is a slight possibility, that way is the right way.

But even if you know it in your heart, the feeling that everyone treats you as a fool, and the future is likely to confirm their conjectures is not good.After all, he is still young, and he is still an age who cares about other people's opinions.It is absolutely impossible to say that the eyes of others have no influence on him.

It's just that he didn't expect that the one who comforted him would be the person who was excluded from the help list from the beginning and never even thought about it.

"Thank you." He said lightly, but his tone couldn't help being tinged with a thin layer of warmth, "It's just that the right path may not lead to the desired ending. You may have made a wrong bet, Shen Qi."

If Li Rong hadn't settled the media at the press conference, then the rumors would have been more believable, and Li Rong would only be dismissed by the board of directors.All the deals he made with Shen Qi at that time must be just empty talk.Under the current situation, the possibility of this outcome is not low.

Li Rong lacks a person with sufficient credibility to endorse him.Without that, all he could rely on was his eloquence—and he wasn't very good at it.

unless……

"Then, shall I go with you?" Shen Qi smiled lowly.

"!"

He thought about asking others for help.However, at this critical juncture, no one dared to take the risk.

But he didn't think about Shen Qi alone.

He was ruled out from the start.Even though it is clear that he has enough ability, but subconsciously, Li Rong is very repulsed to ask him for help, or in other words, fears Shen Qi's rejection.

Everyone can reject him, but Shen Qi can't.

He has no right to ask Shen Qi to be merciful, he can only control himself.

But Shen Qi told him now that he would go with him.

He went to the press conference with him, which meant that he would endorse himself, face the reporters with him, and pay real money.He gambled on his own reputation, fortune, and status within the family, and what he got was a project with an unknown future and an almost empty heir.

"You're too risky." He finally said, now he would never do such a thing that harms himself and benefits others, but at that time he sincerely didn't want Shen Qi to take risks, and there was a hint in his heart that they still supported each other The illusion, knowing it is false but still unwilling to leave, "You always have to think for yourself, I have no other way, but you don't have to step into this muddy water."

"This is my decision, and it's not your turn to question it." After a moment of silence, Shen Qi's voice suddenly became much colder, "I decided to support you at this time, so I have carefully evaluated the probability of success and the consequences of failure. This is just a It's a business decision." His voice suddenly became a little higher, "Or do you think that after we had a relationship and slept a few times, I would treat you with all my heart and soul? I'm sorry, I can't do such a stupid thing."

The indifferent and mocking tone, like a basin of ice water being poured on his face, made him extremely sober.

Shen Qi doesn't need his worries.That delusion was just his self-indulgence.

If you realize this, you would be a fool if you don't accept help.

The later ending was a matter of course under the blessing of fate---he thus settled the media, attracted new investment, and thus completely controlled the board of directors in his hands.No matter how difficult the situation he faced in the past, how rich the harvest is now.

And Shen Qi naturally got a return that far exceeded his investment.For him, this is naturally a very cost-effective deal.After tasting the sweetness, Shen Qi naturally became closer to him.

All are happy.

That incident made him completely accept Shen Qi as his long-term ally, and from now on, they will fight together without any consideration.

But the faint, faint flame of hope in my heart has been completely extinguished since then.

He doesn't want to recall, let alone admit, even if his wish doesn't prevent him from worrying about Shen Qi's gains and losses, it can make him never say it all out.

Today's end is also just to save face, and bring about the blame.

Li Rong looked at himself in the mirror, and felt more mocking in his heart------

He has matured in his career and will not care about temporary gains and losses.

But emotionally, he is still a naive child.

In the office, Cheng Wang picked up the bag and was about to leave when the SMS bell rang suddenly.

The letter came from an unfamiliar number, "Wan Chai, Xie Zhen's place, 07:30."

He stared at the line of words, his fingers constantly rubbing the screen.After a long time, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly typed a line: "Okay, I will come over."

The saddest thing is the person who knows clearly in his heart, but always pretends to be confused for the sake of face.
