Chapter 601: Is She Joking?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At half past ten, Vera’s so called clarification press conference was held in the conference hall in Guangying Media.
Vera and Jenny appeared on the podium in the conference hall. There were reporters and media from various platforms seated below the stage at this time. They were all holding microphones with their own logo in their hands. All the reporters and media seemed to be unexpectedly harmonious with one another.
“I wonder what Vera is going to say? Do you think that Vera will completely separate the line between her own artiste and Jiang Yuning?”
“It is very difficult for me to tell. Jiang Yuning is also an artiste under Guangying Media. I think that this matter will only be settled once and for all if Jiang Yuning comes out to express her position. Otherwise, it seems as though the both of them will continue fighting until the ends of the world.”
“Is it even possible for her to take back anything that have already been said anyway? No matter what it is, it seems as though everything that Jenny said is indeed aimed at Jiang Yuning and she even brought up the Lu family.”
Vera simply smiled when she heard what the reporters and media were talking about below the stage. She specially set a very professional hairstyle for herself today because she wanted to look very capable and professional. She wanted to look sharp and she wanted to overwhelm the audience with her momentum.
“Good afternoon, everyone. I am Vera.”
“In the afternoon yesterday, someone in the entertainment industry released a voice recording on the internet. The voice recording pointed towards the fact that Jenny ‘dissed’ her predecessor and senior, Miss Jiang Yuning. This involved a series of events involving the Lu family and this caused an uproar in the entertainment industry.”
“Right now, I would like to specifically clarify that this so-called voice recording is forged.”
The reporters and media were all dumbfounded as soon as they heard Vera’s words. It was obviously Jenny’s voice so how could it possibly be fake?
Was this all that Vera could come up with to protect Jenny?
Who was she kidding?
Is she joking?
Vera looked around the audience and saw the look of disbelief on all the reporters and media’s faces. At this time, she laughed before she said confidently, “I know that no one will believe it but please turn on your cell phones and download an app called, “Celebrity Voices”. After that, you can take a look at what is stored inside the app.”
“If you find it too bothersome, I have already downloaded it here in my cell phone.” As she spoke, Vera raised her cell phone as she displayed the app on her cell phone. “This software has a voice changing function and it contains the voices of thousands of celebrities and entertainers. You can choose any celebrity that you want to, and with just one click, you can easily sound like the celebrity that you have chosen.”
After she was done speaking, Vera turned on the voice function and she randomly selected one of the celebrities on the list. After that, she said ‘I love you’ and the audio file that she recorded was really the voice of that celebrity that she had chosen.
“Secondly, under the laws, if a voice recording was to be used as evidence, then it must first meet a certain set of conditions. First and foremost, one must prove the identity of the person whose voice had been recorded. Dear friends, was there any mention of Jenny’s name in the voice recording at all?”
“Besides that, everything about the Lu family has always been top secret. Even Miss Jiang Yuning herself has not stepped into Mr. Lu Jingzhi’s study room before. So, how could I possibly know that something has happened to the Lu family? Please pay more attention and take note that the media could also be fabricating lies.”
“Finally, I really do not understand why some people would want to take a voice recording to verbally and maliciously attack a seventeen year old child. I do not intend to allow the media to continue spreading rumors and cause more harm to the people in the entertainment industry. Therefore, I have already spoken to Guangying Media’s lawyer and he is already looking for the culprit as we speak.”
After that, Vera turned around and looked at Jenny as she said, “Jenny, do you have anything to say to the reporters and media?”
When Jenny saw that the reporters and media had fallen for their bluff, she was not so nervous anymore. She straightened her back as she walked towards Vera before she faced the media and audience and said, “First of all, I would like to apologize for causing such a huge disturbance. I also know that this matter has left a significant impact on Sister Yuning. Therefore, I would also like to publicly apologize to Sister Yuning today. All of these things happened because of me and I really feel very guilty because of it.”
“When I heard this voice recording, I was also very shocked because it really sound exactly like me. To be honest, I would have also believed that this voice belongs to me. Fortunately, we are able to clarify the matter today thanks to Sister Vera. I really want to thank Sister Vera because I will not simply be blamed for this matter anymore.”
“Finally, I hope that all of my friends in the media can trust me and believe that I am really innocent. I did not say anything bad about anyone at all.”
After that, Jenny bowed slightly in front of the media.
When Vera saw that everything that should have been said and done had already been done, she motioned for Jenny to step down.
“Today’s press conference will end here today. Thank you for the media’s support and I sincerely hope that you will have more trust in us in future.”
At this time, the media kept snapping pictures of Vera.
They felt that Vera was still very capable after all.
She could actually resolve this matter involving Jenny with just a few words.
Celebrity Voices?
Seriously?
After a while, Vera turned around before she stepped down from the stage. At this time, the reporters and media were also starting to pack their gears.
But…
“Don’t you think that something is wrong?”
“Even though Vera has already said so much, I have a feeling that something is not right. Do you feel the same way?”
“Well, wouldn’t we be able to find out the truth if we continue digging? I know where Jenny went for dinner with her friend that night. We will be able to find out the truth if we continue looking into this matter.”
“Don’t you think that the method that Vera used to solve this public relations issue is really different compared to how she would have done it when she was still working with Jiang Yuning?”
“This is not how Jiang Yuning would have dealt with her public relations issues. Jiang Yuning’s style is more grandeur and domineering. I don’t think anyone will be able to learn from her. This makes me even more certain that Jiang Yuning has fought all of her previous small and big battles on her won.”
“Exactly…”
…
Vera and Jenny did not hear what the reporters and media were discussing after the press conference.
As soon as they entered the lounge, Jenny grabbed Vera’s wrist as she said excitedly, “Sister Vera, thank you! You are really amazing. I cannot believe that you can actually think of such a good way to help me!”
“Do not talk any more nonsense in future. I can forget it this time, but there will not be a next time.”
This was Vera’s first public relations task after leaving Jiang Yuning and she really did not expect everything to go so smoothly.
Therefore, she felt that her sense of accomplishment did not only save Jenny but it also proved to everyone that she was capable even without Jiang Yuning.
For her, that was even more important than saving Jenny.
After that, the both of them headed straight to Shen Yichen’s office.
“Director Shen, we won the public relations.”
Shen Yichen put down the document in his hand before he nodded and said, “Nevertheless, I think that Jenny must still be punished. Jenny, I am warning you now that there will not be a next time. If this happens again, I will not be merciful. You will walk away from Guangying Media immediately.”
“Director Shen, I know. Please do not worry. Sister Vera is really amazing. I will be obedient and good in future,” Jenny replied like a little girl who was not only expressing her obedience but also complimenting Vera’s talent and ability.
Shen Yichen smiled slightly as he waved his hand and said, “You can go and get busy now.”
“Director, what are you dissatisfied with?”
This was because Vera felt that Shen Yichen had a deeper meaning hidden behind his smile.
