Chapter 584: Press Conference

~7 min read 1,238 words

Hearing Zhou Andong say he was going to hold a press conference, Guan Shengjie and Du Youwei's eyes lit up like light bulbs.

At this time, Zhou Andong was a hot news figure, and the topics surrounding him never diminished.

No matter what newspaper it was, if it didn't have news about him, sales would definitely drop quite a bit.

Now that this guy was going to hold a press conference, the matter definitely wouldn't be small.

"Can you reveal what it's about?" Guan Shengjie couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Andong smiled and said: "I can't say for now, but after the press conference, I can accept your exclusive interview."

"Snap!" Du Youwei snapped her fingers, "It's a deal."

Zhou Andong smiled and raised his beer bottle: "I just like straightforward people like Sister Wei. Come, little brother toasts you."

"Clink!"

Du Youwei clinked bottles with Zhou Andong, tilted her head back, and took a sip: "I heard Chairman Zhou sings well. Since there's an opportunity today, how about singing one?"

"No problem!" Zhou Andong got up, walked out the door, went to the courtyard in the back, first bent down to look at the pool, then passed through the veranda and arrived at the stage in the back.

Zhou Yitiao was singing with full concentration. Seeing a man walk over and stand beside her, she tilted her head and looked over suspiciously.

"Miss, can I borrow your guitar?"

Zhou Yitiao wrinkled her nose: "Can you change the way you address me?"

Zhou Andong was stunned, then reacted. Nowadays, the term "Miss" had changed its flavor, and many girls were very resistant to this address.

"This lady, can I borrow your guitar?"

Zhou Yitiao said dissatisfiedly again: "I'm only eighteen, am I that old?"

Zhou Andong didn't expect Zhou Yitiao to be so difficult: "This beautiful girl, may I borrow your guitar?"

"That's more like it." Zhou Yitiao nodded with satisfaction, handed the guitar to Zhou Andong, and got up to give up the chair: "You sit. Since the boss isn't here, I'll steal a moment of laziness."

Zhou Andong smiled: "That 'Cheers, Friend' just now was very suitable for your hoarse voice. Singing it has a unique flavor, better than the original."

Zhou Yitiao blinked her big eyes and smiled happily: "You're so good at talking. Say a few more words, I like listening."

"Hahaha..."

Zhou Andong laughed out loud: "After I finish singing, whatever you want to hear, I'll say."

"Alright!" Zhou Yitiao left the stage, walked to the bar, and sat on a high stool: "Give me a bottle of Jiang Xiaomei."

The bartender was a foreigner, not looking very old. He picked up a bottle of Jiang Xiaomei from the shelf behind him and placed it in front of Miss Zhou.

"Miss Zhou, I've mixed a new cocktail, do you want to try it?"

To this foreigner calling her "Miss," Zhou Yitiao didn't object.

"No, I only drink Jiang Xiaomei today."

The foreigner asked strangely: "Why?"

Zhou Yitiao looked at Zhou Andong and said with a smile: "Because of that man."

The foreigner followed Zhou Yitiao's gaze to Zhou Andong, then shook his head in confusion and didn't ask anything else.

Zhou Andong didn't know that Zhou Yitiao had already recognized him. But even if he did, it didn't matter.

"A glass of Jiang Xiaobai, choked to tears. The hero of the world doesn't look back. If you want to leave, I won't keep you; forced love won't last long..."

Zhou Andong's singing voice spread through the microphone throughout the entire bar, also attracting everyone's attention.

Zhou Yitiao smiled because she had heard this song. A while ago, when she was hanging out with friends, Old Xian'er sang this song.

It was said that the famous Lei Feng was Zhou Andong, the head of the Yugong Group, and this "Cruel" was a new song he wrote.

After Zhou Andong finished singing, applause rang out below. Although there weren't many guests, the applause was very enthusiastic.

"Sing another one!"

"Sing another one!"

Zhou Andong put his hands together: "Sorry, I have things to do tonight, I'll sing again when there's an opportunity."

Watching Zhou Andong return to his seat, Zhou Yitiao came to the stage, picked up the guitar, sang two more songs, and then brought her wine to Zhou Andong's table.

"Sir, the song you just sang was very good, but I haven't heard it before. Is it your original?"

Zhou Andong shook his head: "A friend wrote it."

"That's such a pity, I wanted to buy the copyright." Zhou Yitiao shook her head in disappointment, then raised the Jiang Xiaomei in her hand: "Very happy to meet you, I toast you."

After saying that, she tilted her head back and took a sip.

Zhou Andong smiled. He already knew that this girl had recognized him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to come over to find him for a drink, and she was holding Jiang Xiaomei.

Sighing in his heart, Zhou Yitiao's ability to become popular was really not a fluke.

"Sit down and have a drink together."

Zhou Yitiao asked hesitantly: "Me? Can I?"

"Of course!" Zhou Andong said: "I invited you, what's there that you can't do?"

Zhou Yitiao looked at Guan Shengjie and Du Youwei, and seeing them nod, she sat down.

Several people drank until past 2:00 AM before dispersing. Watching Zhou Andong get into the car, Zhou Yitiao wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say it out loud, just waved her hand.

"Goodbye!"

Zhou Andong rolled down the car window and said with a smile: "I'm brothers with your boss. If there's anything you need help with, have your boss notify me."

Zhou Yitiao said: "But I still don't know your name."

Zhou Andong pointed at Zhou Yitiao: "You know!"

Watching the Mercedes disappear into the night, Zhou Yitiao chuckled: "So you knew I recognized you."

April 17, 1993, the 26th day of the third lunar month, Saturday!

The large conference room of the Beijing Hotel was already overcrowded. Major media reporters had arrived here early, setting up their long guns and short cannons.

Zhou Andong's popularity was too high, full of topics. Yesterday, they received notification from peers that Zhou Andong was going to hold a press conference here, and they were so excited they didn't sleep well all night. Some people ran over in the morning to occupy a favorable position.

A reporter from the Beijing Daily poked Guan Shengjie beside him: "Old Guan, you have such a good relationship with Zhou Andong, do you really not know the content of the press conference he's holding?"

Guan Shengjie shook his head: "I really don't know. He just said that after the press conference, he would give me a chance for an exclusive interview."

The Daily reporter was very envious: "Except for that Miss Yang from the main station, you're probably the only one who can interview Zhou Andong, and it's an exclusive one. It makes people envious."

"This is something that can't be helped. We knew each other before he was even the factory director of Jiangzhou Winery. You can't envy that."

Guan Shengjie's words were very plain, but he couldn't hide the pride in his tone.

"He's here!" Someone shouted.

Everyone looked up and saw Zhou Andong walk in. The originally noisy venue instantly became quiet. ===== CHAPTER 585 =====
