Chapter 3324: Entering the Game with One's Body
Soon, after calming her emotions, Tawana returned to the party venue accompanied by Trevor.
Mitsui Yoshitaka, who had been keeping Ye Chen's request in mind, went straight onto the stage and said to all the guests: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have already communicated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the U. S. Embassy, confirming that the CIA asking Miss Svet to cooperate with the investigation at the embassy was a complete misunderstanding; they also realized the issue immediately and thus promptly sent Miss Svet and Mr. Kennedy back. Since this was a misunderstanding, I sincerely hope that today's misunderstanding will not be spread to the outside in any form, so as to avoid those who do not know the truth and the media chasing rumors from discussing and spreading it widely."
Saying this, Mitsui Yoshitaka paused slightly, his voice carrying a hint of severity: "This also requires everyone present to strictly keep today's events confidential. If today's events were to leak out, I, on behalf of the Mitsui family's honor, guarantee to everyone that I will certainly find the leaker and severely pursue their responsibility. I hope everyone can understand more, thank you."
In Japan, Mitsui Yoshitaka's influence is very great.
Whether it is Japanese politicians or wealthy businessmen, or even foreign enterprises operating in Japan, none would dare to offend Mitsui Yoshitaka, and the Mitsui family behind him.
The status of this family in Japan is not inferior to, and even surpasses, that of Samsung in South Korea.
Thus, everyone expressed their stance, swearing to keep tonight's events buried in their own stomachs.
Besides their apprehension of Mitsui Yoshitaka, Tawana had returned safe and sound not long after leaving; according to this timing, it was not enough for her to have gone to the embassy and returned, so everyone also subconsciously believed that Mitsui Yoshitaka's misunderstanding was just that simple, and with a gossipy mindset, their concerns were greatly reduced.
Since it was merely a small incident caused by a misunderstanding, Mitsui Yoshitaka's remark naturally led everyone to move on from it.
Mitsui Yoshitaka also relaxed, and thus the party continued normally.
However, Ye Chen at the party intentionally kept his distance from Tawana and Mitsui Yoshitaka; he had not communicated with them at all, nor even exchanged any eye contact, so as not to let Xiao Churan notice anything.
Although Tawana had been secretly glancing at Ye Chen uncontrollably, seeing that Ye Chen never looked at her, she gradually stopped seeking boredom.
Mitsui Xinmei was very curious about Ye Chen; she observed him secretly from the side, seemingly noticing that Ye Chen, when in front of his wife, was vastly different from how he had been outside earlier; the most important point being that when Ye Chen was outside earlier, he could be described as domineering and overwhelming, not putting anyone in his eyes and giving no one a chance to oppose him.
After returning to his wife's presence, that aura on him was instantly concealed completely, leaving no trace; one could not see at all that this was a master who could barehandedly rescue Tawana and her boyfriend from numerous assassins safely.
After Tawana and Trevor, who had just brushed past death, calmed down, they still felt somewhat awkward between them.
Just before they were deceived and taken away, they had also experienced a breakup crisis; if judged by Tawana's attitude at that time, she said she wanted to reconsider their relationship, which almost amounted to saying they should break up.
So, now they two also have not truly clearly decided to reconcile.
Tawana sometimes looked at Trevor, sometimes secretly glanced at Ye Chen; seeing Ye Chen together with Xiao Churan, she could not help but feel a little envious; previously, her pursuit of love could have no result or end quickly, but the process had to be grand and spectacular; but now she realized that true love does not need such grandeur—plain, ordinary happiness is lasting love.
At a certain moment, she felt a little envious of Xiao Churan for having such a charming husband, but she also knew in her heart that such a man might not be encountered in a lifetime; she certainly did not have that fate; Trevor, in Ye Chen's presence, although like an immature big boy, but deep down he indeed had her, and at critical moments was willing to stand with her—this point was already quite rare.
Recalling their previous argument, she also felt a little ashamed in her heart, so she proactively said to Trevor: "Hey, Trevor..."
Trevor asked her: "What's wrong, Tawana?"
Tawana hesitated repeatedly, then said: "Regarding the video you filmed earlier of my argument with Mr. Ye..."
Trevor thought she still wanted him to cut the head and tail of that video, so he said very seriously: "Tawana, that video, I really cannot edit it according to your request; Mr. Ye saved our lives, I cannot betray him in this matter..."
Tawana said: "I don't mean that; I want you to edit it according to Mr. Ye's request, putting mosaics on him and his wife and friends, then upload the video to the internet."
"Ah?" Trevor thought he had misheard, and quickly said: "Tawana, this... this is why?"
Tawana pressed her lips, looking pained, and said: "I think what you and Mr. Ye said are both right; some things are inherently unsuitable for discussion in public, just like rated films, which inherently should not be watched by children who haven't reached the age requirement; but although films have ratings, public figures' speech does not; what we say, what we do, what we support, many children also see it; as you said, there will certainly be children who mistakenly take our publicly supported things as trends and blindly follow them; so, I hope Mr. Ye's and my conversation can be seen by the whole world, urging everyone not to create a deformed social environment for children."
Trevor looked at Tawana in astonishment and blurted: "Dear, if that video is released, you, as Mr. Ye's opposing side, as the party silenced by Mr. Ye's rebuttal, will definitely be blamed by viewers; this is not a good thing for you!"
Tawana gave a bitter smile: "You and I almost lost our lives; what could be worse than this?"
Trevor still felt a little heartache for Tawana and was very concerned about her career development, so he advised: "Dear, I think if you want everyone to hear Mr. Ye's remarks just now, I can edit out the part where Mr. Ye spoke, put a mosaic on Mr. Ye, and then send it out; that way, everyone can also understand Mr. Ye's position; if the whole video were released, it would indeed be very disadvantageous for you; what do you think?"
Tawana shook her head: "Although this way protects you, but Mr. Ye himself is a very low-key person; you also put a mosaic on him; the outside world would not know who he is at all; a person with no fame and no clear identity, his words would not be seen by anyone; you also know very well the promotion strategies and algorithms of those platforms; they only care about grabbing hotspots, not right or wrong, not morality; they would not give traffic to a faceless nobody."
Speaking, she paused slightly, then continued: "But if you put me in the video as well, the result would be different; this video would definitely become a hotspot on major software and news; think about it, a nobody actually silencing the famous Tawana Svet to speechlessness—how many people would want to see such a video? By then, the video's spread would be unprecedentedly large; we want exactly to let more people hear this speech, right? This way would achieve that goal!"
