"As far as I know, Leng Zimo and Miss Luo’s child, Luo Jun, is also not in Beijing. Is he traveling with his parents?"
"Your information is really well-informed." Qin Lan smiled, "I suppose no parents would leave their young child at home while traveling, right?"
"Is Mr. Qin currently managing Emperor View on behalf of Mr. Leng?"
"For now, yes."
"Then, what is your view on Emperor View’s stock decline?"
"I believe Emperor View will not disappoint all those who put their trust and support in it."
"Some might think that Emperor Leng’s action is highly irresponsible. What do you have to say about that, Mr. Qin?"
"If you can’t keep your own house in order, how can you rule the world?" Qin Lan said calmly, "If a man cannot take responsibility for his wife and child, can he truly be accountable for his work? For this trip, Zimo prepared thoroughly in advance, arranging all important work, and we keep in constant communication. Every step of the company is still under his control. Zimo is not only a great CEO but also a good man, a good husband, and a good father. It’s only with such responsible and accountable men that Emperor View finds its hope, that’s what I have to say."
...
At the end of the press conference, the staff provided the media with several photos, including the wedding photos of Leng Zimo and Luo Xiaoqian, for use as news images.
The major media outlets nearly went crazy to be the first to break the news. They started writing articles even on the road and rushed to send pictures back to their companies just to grab the first headline.
A few hours later, almost all websites and media outlets reported the story. Upon hearing that their idol was not dead but happily married and currently enjoying a honeymoon, netizens poured in their blessings.
After all, the assassination in Rome was media speculation, while these were authentic with images and direct evidence, so naturally, everyone was more accepting of the latter.
After calming the board members at the board meeting, Qin Lan returned exhausted to Leng Zimo’s office, watching the sunset without leaving.
Tonight, after the stock market opens, how will the situation be? Will the shares rebound as he and Jiao Yang hoped?
Qin Lan was unsure.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Come in!"
Qin Lan assumed it was his assistant bringing him dinner and spoke up immediately.
The door opened, and it wasn’t the assistant but Jiao Yang holding dinner who walked in.
"Jiao Yang?" Qin Lan quickly got up.
"A restaurant near the company opened, so I brought some dishes to eat with you." Jiao Yang waved the dinner he carried, "I’ve already seen the news, the media coverage was very well done. I’ve also arranged for a journalist friend in the United States to write an economic analysis on Emperor View’s stocks. Tonight, Emperor View’s shares should see some recovery."
"Let’s hope so!"
Qin Lan stood up, politely accepted the dinner, and led him to the lounge area.
The two of them unpacked the dinner on the table, and Qin Lan fetched two bottles of drinks, handing one to Jiao Yang.
Qin Lan was already eating, but Jiao Yang lacked appetite and only took a few symbolic bites.
Watching Qin Lan at the side, he couldn’t help but ask.
"So, how is the situation on Xiao Qian’s side?"
