Chapter 49 Press Conference
When Calvin appeared at the welcome party with Lexie's hand on his arm, the media reporters who had been waiting on the side of the room gathered around and raised their magnesium lights. All of a sudden, the limelight was flashing.
"Mr. Calvin, I heard that you proposed to Lexie, is this true?"
"Mr. Calvin, I heard that you proposed to Lexie on your knees, so romantic!"
"Mr. Calvin, can you tell everyone when your wedding with Lexie is scheduled to take place?"
"Where will you hold the wedding? There are rumours that you have already received your marriage license in the UK, is that true?"
Calvin and Lexie were surrounded by many media reporters who had their microphones pointed at him.
Calvin had gone to a lot of trouble to organize this party, spending a lot of manpower and resources, but what he didn't expect was that these news media were not half concerned about his career, but were all asking about his personal life, which was annoying!
Lexie, on the other hand, had a smug smile on her face, she had deliberately left this happen.
She had gone to great lengths to get Calvin to agree to hold her hand. On such a glamorous occasion, for him to appear with her in front of everyone, it was no ordinary glamour, so naturally she wanted the news media to hype her up as much as possible so that the whole world would know she was Calvin's fiancee.
"Sorry, no comment." Calvin's face was expressionless and he winked at Aron, who was busy directing the few bodyguards around him to block the press and media reporters.
All media reporters in A City know that Calvin's private life is a mystery, even though there is a lot of news about him, and recently there is even news that he is about to marry Lexie, the daughter of the deputy mayor of A City, but after all, these are only hearsay and hearsay. The senior media still remember the not so high profile wedding three years ago, but it is all very confusing. The press is happy to dig up the scoop.
All the press were heading for the press conference! Ready for action!
The press conference began with a rousing song.
"The Cosmic Hybrid Car combines many of the best qualities of today's world automobile world, safe, environmentally friendly, comfortable, fuel efficient and stylish, the model is dignified, elegant yet back to nature; full of warmth yet relaxed and casual. It is in line with the cultural traits of the Harvey Corp, the pursuit of quality, excellence, respect for wealth, nature, focus on humanity, safety and health." The Host is explaining, "The project signed here today is the result of Harvey Corp's power car and representatives from all parties working together, sincerely cooperating and seeking common development. Now, we would like to invite Mr. Calvin to speak on stage."
The whole room resounded with warm applause.
The melodious songs were played in a relaxed and pleasant manner.
The magnesium lights flashed alternately as Calvin, dressed in a well-fitted suit, walked towards the centre of the stage with a steady, restrained pace.
"Thank you, distinguished guests, and welcome to Harvey Corp. I would like to announce that the signing ceremony for the first "Spread Our Love With Cosmic Hybrid Car" of the Harvey Corp has officially begun." His voice was smooth and strong, magnetic, his words simple and dry, very much in line with his status and also his style of doing things.
The scene tonight was hot, not only the American emissary, the president of multinational companies, famous private entrepreneurs, as well as the mayor of A City and political dignitaries, and all the major media were present.
Lexie's father was in full majesty, attending as a prospective father-in-law on the side of Calvin on the podium, and Lexie and Calvin were sitting side by side.
Belle suddenly felt that all this was so far away from her!
She felt her heart was empty. What did it all matter to her? She was just a hurried passer-by, everything was going the way it was supposed to.
Tonight she would do her duty to explain her designs, just where would she go after tonight?
"Here is Miss Alice, one of the world's leading car designers, to explain the car model designed by her." The sweet voice of the MC floated through the room. "Miss Alice, is it really her? This is the car she designed?"
"It is said that this Miss Alice is the confidante of the world's richest man, Rhys. How come she has come to Harvey Corp?"
"Yeah, the last time she designed an Al Diar luxury car, it has become a global hit and sold the best, it's really well designed and popular, I like it a lot."
"I heard that this female designer is also a beauty."
Various murmurs whispered from the stage.
Belle carried her specially selected dress with her hand and walked graciously towards the top of the stage.
She was calm and confident, with a smile on her face!
The stage was silent as the limelight flashed, and all eyes fell on her.
The woman on the stage was elegant, calm and collected. A long chiffon dress with a shallow V-shape strapless white background and orchids, like a pure white lily flower quietly blooming with fragrance! A woman like this would make any man's heart flutter!
In order to highlight the importance of the car, she deliberately picked a light dress, just so that no one's eyes would notice her. While on the projector, her specific all-round explanation was spot on, and she made herself invisible under the dim light in order to achieve a more perfect understanding of the effect of the car.
Nonetheless, when the deliberately dimmed lights came on again, she caught everyone's eye.
Lexie's face was almost twisted.
Standing on the stage, Belle was like a quietly blooming lily, noble, serene, giving people a pleasing feeling. She was fully concentrated and spoke appropriately, her voice was pleasant, generous and natural, she became the highlight of the audience, the main character of the launch.
And the car she designed was even more lifelike, all-encompassing and stunning.
In college, on the student stage, Lexie would attract the envious eyes of all her classmates, but as soon as Belle stood next to her, she would instantly drown out everything.
She just stood quietly, like a magnetic field that would draw all the eyes that lingered on her and Lexie to her would become invisible.
All this time, Lexie was defiant, she hated it so much that she was mad, and for the past three years, without Belle, she had lived a better life! Unexpectedly, when she was about to succeed, she came back! "Good, good." Thunderous applause erupted from the stage, with many people shouting their approval.
Just as Calvin had guessed, after Belle's explanation, the signing ceremony that followed was a great success.
The car designed by Belle, the "Al Diar" cross-country sedan, was once again a miracle signing, attracting the attention of all conglomerates and businessmen around the world, with some companies signing up for hundreds of millions of units alone. The figure far exceeds that of the Al Diar.
When the contract is signed, it will go into production and will boost the Harvey Corp's car manufacturing!
In this way, the Harvey Corp's luxury car sales are firmly anchored in the global market.
The signing was proceeding in an orderly manner.
This signing was a great success! It was foreseeable that Calvin would make at least a hundred billion from this signing alone, not including the hidden business gains. It seemed that he was absolutely right to hire Belle, he was indeed a genius in the business world.
Calvin sat on the podium, smiling, talking elegantly, he was in a great mood today!
"Distinguished guests, leaders and friends of the media, the second item of the evening begins, the charity event. Now we have Mr. Calvin Calvin, president of Harvey Corp and Miss Lexie Johnson, the vice president of Harvey Corp, come to stage!" The host started the second item of the launch after the successful signing.
The charity event was both a time for extensive charity and an opportunity for successful people to make a name for themselves, and Calvin used this opportunity cleverly.
A warm round of applause broke out.
The low and melodious music flowed slowly.
All the media raised their cameras!
Under the dazzling lights, a couple appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but at this moment, all the businessmen were still immersed in the signing ceremony, after all, they were businessmen and would not do business at a loss, so they were all still looking at the promotional paper of the design that Belle had gave them.
Calvin was holding Lexie's hand, with a smile on his face, he was calmed and elegant.
He raised his hand and waved towards the bottom of the stage, but his dark pupils suddenly darkened as he scanned the room.
Rhys was standing at the bottom of the stage with smiling eyes, looking at him and Lexie.
This man, a wealthy global businessman, was of course among those invited, and he had been sitting in the inconspicuous seat he had specially arranged for him since the beginning, yet he was calm and self assured, with a confident smile on his face.
He disliked this feeling.
