Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Flourishing Beauty

This time, it was a collaboration with the Xiangjiang government.

People who arrived almost encompassed all the big shots of Xiangjiang.

Song Yunuan wore a uniform, her neck adorned with a work badge.

This was a staff member now.

She patrolled the venue.

Sixth Master approached with a full-faced smile, leading his men.

He said to Biaozi, "This is Miss Song. From now on, whenever you see her, you must be polite. Go maintain some order now, but remember, don’t let anyone be offended."

Afterward, he gave a stern admonition.

Biaozi certainly knew what was going on.

This was for Miss Song to see.

And it was for these people to see too.

Although it wasn’t stated explicitly, everyone knew that Miss Song’s status here would likely be very high in the future.

Biaozi led his men away.

This time, it was pure official collaboration.

The security here was the highest level to date.

So no short-sighted force would come here to cause trouble and stir up strife, not unless they wanted to end their career in Xiangjiang, not unless they would never use Dongfang Hong ever again.

Then Dongfang Hong caught everyone’s interest.

Regarding the claim that it would soon replace the "big brick," some people sneered and were disdainful.

This "big brick," after all, was developed by foreigners. How could those backward, impoverished, short on talent, and myopic on the other side possibly develop something like this?

It must be just blowing smoke to gain public favor.

And a product launch event?

Do they even know what a product launch is?

They might have misunderstood the essence of a launch event, thinking it’s about releasing a message to garner strong societal support for research.

Poverty, yes, they are still very poor, so poor that many people can’t even afford a meal.

These people cannot fathom what life must be like when you can’t get enough to eat or have clothes to wear.

These people were schadenfreuding.

Many maintained a wait-and-see attitude; after all, no matter what you came up with, today’s launch event was quite amusing, attended by nearly all of Xiangjiang’s elite and famous.

But more people were hoping to use Dongfang Hong after this launch event and were very much looking forward to it.

After all, that side was rich in land and talent, with national treasures so impressive that they were created many years ago without the use of computers. So why couldn’t they now develop a mobile phone that was better than the "big brick"?

The launch event was bustling with people, a mix of fish and dragons, each with their own thoughts.

But some still felt something was off about the event.

The uneasiness centered around Sixth Master.

Some thought he was there to disrupt the event, but later discovered he was there to maintain order, and this maintenance of order was not overt but subtly ensured that one of his smiling men would step forward when needed.

To the unknowing, the other party seemed so amiable and polite.

To those in the know, it was downright spine-chilling. When had they ever seen Sixth Master’s men smile so brilliantly?

However, regardless of everything, the order here was well kept, and the organizers had created a sense of mystery. The appearance of Dongfang Hong would be initiated alongside supporting equipment.

Song Yunuan knew this because Gu Huai’an had already notified the partners beforehand.

The launch event was actually the easiest part of the process.

Song Yunuan learned from Gu Huai’an how much hard work and effort they had paid in the segments unknown to the layperson.

It wasn’t just about development.

It was also about promoting it in this land.

After all, this place was indeed affluent, capable of generating the quickest profits.

However, the Gudel Group, the original manufacturers of the "big brick," were vehemently opposed to Dongfang Hong. The head of the family, Gudel, with his shrewd vision, knew that once Dongfang Hong was released, his "big brick" faced the risk of being phased out.

He began to exert pressure from all quarters.

He also offered various inducements, but in the face of the facts, even a fool knew that Dongfang Hong was a hundred times better than the "big brick."

Once it was successfully launched, the future was simply unimaginable.

But there were also many risks involved.

Song Yunuan felt that, for her beloved little brother’s research to proceed smoothly and unhindered, she had to find a way to take down the Gudel Group.

Besides, research was a huge money burner.

The debut of Dongfang Hong almost amounted to a national effort.

To continue upgrading, not to mention the technology needed, the amount of money required was simply unfathomable.

But these should all be solvable, as long as there was hope, there would be motivation to keep going.

At this moment, in Song Yunuan’s eyes, Gu Huai’an was an elegant, dust-free little brother with strong capabilities. To Xia Xindong, Gu Huai’an was just a brat nursing an obsession with his niece.

But to outsiders, Gu Huai’an was like the moon in the sky.

They looked at him with respect and awe.

This was an aura achieved without even trying.

For example, at the press conference venue.

As Gu Huai’an and a group of people walked towards the podium, it was truly like a star surrounded by the moon.

Song Yunuan was down below.

Watching Gu Huai’an without blinking.

The suit Song Yunuan had chosen for him made his stature even more upright and his features even more handsome.

Everyone was looking at Gu Huai’an.

Especially the ladies and madams, their eyes were practically glued to him.

But the next second, they were also overawed by his presence, and dared not blatantly scrutinize him any further.

Song Yunuan coldly swept her gaze around, then casually withdrew it.

No matter what, she felt a touch of pride. So her gaze fell on Gu Huai’an, and her eyes shone with an extra bit of warmth compared to usual.

Not to exaggerate, but no one expected the young and handsome Gu Huai’an who developed Dongfang Hong to be so young and handsome.

For a moment, his handsomeness shocked the entire venue.

Many who were not familiar with him thought that an old man with glasses and frumpy clothes would come in, only to find an extraordinarily handsome young man.

Not only was he extremely handsome, but he also held great power and influence.

Song Yunuan hadn’t paid much attention before.

But today, she deeply realized that Gu Huai’an’s attractiveness was striking, and his aura was extremely powerful.

If the atmosphere hadn’t been so serious, if Gu Huai’an hadn’t been all business, there doubtlessly would have been many who wanted to strike up a conversation.

Song Yunuan naturally did not go to the podium.

She sat leisurely in the front row chair, keenly enjoying the glorious beauty of her little brother.

But, annoyingly, someone had to disrupt her enjoyment.

Song Yunuan was sitting in the first row when someone gently tapped her shoulder, quickly retracting their hand immediately after doing so.

Song Yunuan turned her head to look.

Oh my, wasn’t that Ai Ni?

Song Yunuan had not seen the Ai family since they apologized and sent gifts.

Today, only the second generation of the Ai family attended in place of their father and brothers, who were said to be slightly unwell.

Probably nobody knew the inside story, as Song Yunuan had kindly cleared the field out of goodwill.

Exactly how it was handled, Song Yunuan was not sure, but she was not interested in finding out. As long as they didn’t provoke her, how the Ai family handled their affairs was none of her concern.

Yet unexpectedly, she saw Ai Ni, who was sitting in the second row, apparently having just arrived...
