C214 Video Backup
The waiter nodded with a smile and said, "Please follow me, both of you."
Ann Qianxi pulled Ann Dong'er and followed the waiter to the elevator.
She looked around. There was a sign that said "Drunk Trials" as soon as she entered the hotel. Although there were a lot of guests in the hotel, most of them were reporters, some of them were people who knew about alcohol, some of them were drinking with goblets full of wine, and some of them were foreigners.
It seemed that the entire hotel had been reserved, and only the Drunken Dream could be held.
The waiter brought Ann Qianxi to the hall on the third floor. There were tables and rows of seats. More than half of the seats were already occupied.
Ann Qianxi knew the press conference was going to be big, but she didn't expect it to be this big. Instead, she felt a little nervous. She carried Ann Dong'er to a seat and sat down.
Ann Dong'er sat beside her and looked around restlessly, sighing, "Mom, there are a lot of people here. There are even foreigners."
Ann Qianxi smiled and rubbed his head.
The people wearing Chi's Group uniforms saw Ann Qianxi sitting in the audience stands with sharp eyes, and immediately turned around and went backstage.
Not long later, Ann Qianxi's phone rang. Seeing that it was Chi Shaojun, she couldn't help but smile as she answered the call.
It was a bit noisy around them. Ann Qianxi tried her best to listen to Chi Shaojun's voice that came from the other end of the phone.
"Qianxi, have you arrived yet?" Chi Shaojun's voice sounded.
Amidst the din, Ann Qianxi pressed her phone to her ear. Hearing the familiar warm voice, her voice couldn't help but become gentle. "Yes, we're here."
Ann Dong'er, who was looking all over the place, noticed Ann Qianxi's abnormality like a reconnaissance aircraft. He stopped looking around and walked over to Ann Qianxi, watching her make a phone call.
"I'm backstage right now, so there's no way I can get there." Chi Shaojun's voice was a little helpless and a little regretful.
Ann Qianxi smiled and said, "It's fine. You're busy."
Chi Shaojun suddenly said, "Qianxi, do you see me? I'm behind the stands."
Ann Qianxi suddenly looked up. Ann Dong'er looked at her as if he was also looking at the stage.
Ann Qianxi hadn't even seen Chi Shaojun's shadow, and was about to ask about it when she heard Dong'er excitedly shout, "Mom! It was Uncle Chi! Uncle Chi is there! "
She looked in the direction of Ann Dong'er's pinky and saw half of Chi Shaojun's body and face.
Now that the reporters were all waiting to take a picture of him, it wasn't good for him to come out.
Ann Dong'er did his best to wave towards that direction, while Ann Qianxi also reached out her hand towards that direction.
Chi Shaojun's face and body were in the shadows, so he couldn't see clearly. However, looking at the outline, Ann Qianxi was sure that it was Chi Shaojun, and she was also sure that he must have seen her.
They looked at each other across the rows and across the countless people.
The people around him were deep in conversation. The discussion might have had something to do with the conference, or it might not have had anything to do with it at all. Neither of them noticed that amidst the chaos, the two of them looked at each other from afar. It was as if they were in a small world with only two people.
After a while, Ann Dong'er was still waving his arms with all his might, as if he was afraid that Chi Shaojun wouldn't be able to see it.
Ann Qianxi said with a smile in her voice, "Prepare for the press conference. Don't always stand there. We'll be seen by the reporters in a moment."
"Alright, then the two of you don't walk around randomly. I'll go get busy." Chi Shaojun said with regret.
After hanging up, Ann Dong'er watched Chi Shaojun's figure disappear from the stands and pouted in disappointment.
When Chi Shaojun thought about Ann Qianxi's appearance just now, he could clearly see that she was wearing a dazzling red qipao today.
The cheongsam perfectly outlined her originally slender and curvy body, turning her already fair skin into a snow-white color.
Chi Shaojun let out a sigh and thought about whether he should communicate with Ann Qianxi and avoid wearing such revealing clothes when he wasn't around.
Ann Qianxi pressed Ann Dong'er's puffed up cheeks. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang. Her first thought was that Chi Shaojun had called again. However, when she picked up her phone, she saw a string of unfamiliar numbers jumping on it.
She frowned, beginning to feel uneasy. She picked up the phone and slowly brought the phone to her ear.
"Qianxi!" You should be at the press conference first, right? " Lei Jia's excited voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Ann Qianxi sighed and said, "Yes, I'm here now."
Ann Dong'er looked curiously at Ann Qianxi. Ann Qianxi put her finger to her lips and made a gesture of "don't make a sound". Ann Dong'er obediently shut his mouth and looked around.
"I've already thought of what I can do for you!" Lei Jia said loudly.
"I've already thought about it," Ann Qianxi said in a low voice. "I've decided not to help you."
Lei Jia's voice became louder again. Ann Qianxi could almost feel him jumping up and down and said, "What? You go back on your word? You don't want to know the truth? "
Ann Qianxi let out a breath and felt calmer in her heart. "I think the truth might not be that important anymore. Our deal is over."
After she said that, she felt relaxed. Just as she was about to hang up, Lei Jia's hysterical voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Ann Qianxi!" If you don't do as I say, I'll release your video! "
Ann Qianxi was shocked and her heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Didn't you delete the video?"
Lei Jia burst into laughter on the other end of the phone. After a while, he said angrily: "Deleted? You girls are too naive and easily deceived. Such an important thing, of course I have to make a backup. Look, didn't you go back on your words now? Then, wouldn't this thing be of use? "
"You're not keeping your promise!"
Ann Qianxi cursed angrily, scaring Ann Dong'er to the point that he turned to look at her. She reached out her hand to caress Ann Dong'er's head soothingly.
"How is it? If you don't help, I'll send the video now. " Lei Jia said calmly.
Ann Qianxi closed her eyes and exhaled a breath of air. She felt a little pain in her temple and said helplessly, "I promise you. What do you want me to help you with?"
Her face was tense and her palms were covered with sweat.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man turned around and handed a thermos to Ann Qianxi.
"Hold the thermos." Lei Jia said lazily.
Ann Qianxi looked at the cup in front of her with a puzzled expression, then looked at the man with an unfamiliar face, and slowly took the cup.
Ann Dong'er looked at the weird actions of Ann Qianxi and that person and blinked his eyes without saying anything.
Lei Jia, who had the initiative, said in satisfaction: "Alright, you just need to hold this cup and don't leave your hand."
