As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd erupted into a frenzy.
The reporters, hearing that there was a bigger scoop, pushed forward with even more determination, eager to extract more news from Chi Mu Jiu. However, Chi Mu Jiu was unwilling to say another word. The journalists grew increasingly frantic, pressing closer.
"Miss Chi, could you please share a few more words?"
The bodyguards from the Ye family had also increased in number, forming a tight circle around her as they escorted Chi Mu Jiu into the building.
The hall of the press conference was already filled to capacity. Social elites and business magnates gathered together, whispering among themselves in anticipation of the event's commencement.
In the front row, Chi Qi Yun and Ji Yu Yan sat together. As Chi Mu Jiu passed by them, she gracefully took her seat.
"You're here, sister!" Chi Qi Yun said with a false smile.
Chi Mu Jiu had no intention of engaging with her; she had long lost patience with this calculating sister of hers.
Just as Chi Qi Yun was about to say something else, the host on stage began to speak.
"Distinguished guests, hello! Welcome to the press conference for the collaboration between the Chi and Ye families. Today, we will witness this significant moment in business together. Now, let us invite our two partners to come up and speak."
As the applause thundered throughout the venue, Chi Feng and Ye Jue stepped onto the stage, dressed impeccably.
When Chi Feng spotted Chi Mu Jiu in the audience, a glimmer of relief flashed in his eyes. He understood that this collaboration was crucial for the Chi family, and that Chi Mu Jiu had played an important role in it.
Chi Mu Jiu listened quietly as her father and Ye Jue delivered their official business speeches. This collaboration would mark an important breakthrough for the Chi family on the commercial stage. She knew that in this competitive business world, only through continuous effort and innovation could one remain invincible.
As Chi Feng and Ye Jue spoke, the atmosphere at the press conference gradually heated up. The reporters buzzed like bees drawn to honey, thrusting their microphones toward the two speakers and firing off one commercial question after another about the collaboration.
Flashes from cameras flickered incessantly, capturing this significant moment.
Chi Mu Jiu sat in the audience, gradually losing her patience. The business discussions sounded dull and tedious to her. She stood up, intending to leave the conference hall. Just as she turned around, she heard Chi Feng answering a reporter's question behind her.
"This collaboration between the Chi family and the Ye family is largely thanks to my daughter Mu Jiu. If it weren't for her, the Chi family wouldn't have such a great opportunity to work with President Ye."
Chi Mu Jiu paused for a moment. She didn't look back; instead, she quickened her pace to exit the hall. If she stayed any longer, she would surely be surrounded by a swarm of reporters asking all sorts of questions. Those reporters were like sharks sensing blood; once they locked onto a target, they wouldn't let go easily.
The front exit was blocked by reporters, and if they caught her leaving early, Chi Mu Jiu certainly didn't want to become the center of public discussion. She lifted her skirt and carefully made her way out through the backdoor's safety passage.
Once outside the building, the sunlight was still blinding, causing her to squint slightly. Just as she was about to call her driver to pick her up at the back door, a luxury business car suddenly stopped in front of her.
The license plate on this car was also not from the city. Sunlight glinted off its surface, reflecting dazzling rays that made the vehicle appear even more enigmatic. Chi Mu Jiu's heart skipped a beat as she instinctively realized that the person inside the car was coming for her!
