C5 The Best Actress' Summoning Spell!

The remaining board members in the conference room exchanged uneasy glances, realizing that the alliance between the Qin and Gu families might not be as perfect as it seemed.

Mr. Wang cleared his throat, cautiously breaking the silence, "Rong, this..."

Qin Manrong rubbed her aching forehead and raised her hand to stop him, exhausted. "Uncle Wang, please leave me alone for a while. Don't worry, we'll find a solution."

An hour later, the press conference started on time.

Thanks to the influence of the Qin and Gu families, countless big names from the finance and tech industries attended. Qin's Group spared no expense, inviting several celebrities to boost the event, attracting a swarm of media and paparazzi. The venue was a sea of flashing cameras.

Qin Manrong stepped onto the stage in a simple yet elegant royal blue gown, her dark hair styled into a graceful updo, wearing just a hint of makeup.

Under the lights, the royal blue dress accentuated her flawless complexion and striking features, making her shine brilliantly.

Before she even spoke, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

"Welcome, everyone, to the launch of Qin's Technology's first smartphone..."

Lyi Jing, who had been confidently waiting for Qin Manrong to apologize and planning to give her a hard time, stood in the audience, her face turning green with envy at the sight.

She gritted her teeth angrily, "Qin Manrong must be putting on a brave face! Even if she begs me later, I won't agree to endorse that lousy phone!"

Beside her, Gu Jingming was slightly dazed. Was the radiant woman on stage really the same Qin Manrong he had married a month ago, whom he had thought was so tacky and materialistic?

Qin Manrong's witty remarks elicited waves of laughter, gradually warming up the atmosphere.

Holding the microphone, she smiled even more brightly at the audience and guests below. "Now, let's welcome the brand ambassador for Qin's Technology's first smartphone!"

The music began to play, but no one took the stage, creating an awkward moment.

Someone in the know couldn't hold back and shouted, "Isn't Lyi Jing supposed to be endorsing this phone?"

All eyes turned to Lyi Jing. She flashed a charming smile toward the media, her expression tinged with regret, and spoke in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, I can't really say. Why not ask Miss Qin?"

Though she expressed regret and apology, her glance at Qin Manrong was undeniably challenging and smug. The message was clear: unless Qin Manrong showed the right attitude, Lyi Jing wasn't stepping on that stage today.

Reporters swarmed the front of the stage, and if it weren't for the security personnel, they might have completely overwhelmed Qin Manrong's slender figure.

Gu Jingming frowned slightly, considering whether to appease Lyi Jing to get through this hurdle and deal with Qin Manrong later. After all, Qin Manrong was still, in name, his wife.

Before he could come to a conclusion, he noticed Qin Manrong's lips curve into a mysterious smile. "Our guest has arrived, but no one noticed! Now, everyone, please turn around!"

Following her cue, the audience and guests turned to look behind them. The red doors of the conference hall swung open, and a woman in a golden gown gracefully walked down the red carpet.

While those in finance and tech remained composed, the entertainment reporters and media went wild: "Oh my gosh, it's Kuang Wan, the movie queen!"

"Didn't she just attend the Golden Olive Film Festival? When did she get back?"
