Finally, it was time for the question and answer portion. Almost all of the reporters raised their hands for the opportunity. The host pointed at a random reporter.
"Question for Jin Chonglin. Unlike most superstars who immediately started their own studios the moment their careers started to take on new heights, you stubbornly stayed with Bright Summit throughout all these years. Everyone admires your loyalty and thought that you’ll stay with Bright Summit, the company that supported your showbiz career right from the start, until you retire. What prompted you to leave Bright Summit? Please be honest and tell us if you had any disagreements with anyone at Bright Summit. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why you’re leaving Bright Summit and decided to start your own entertainment company with your sister-in-law Iris Long?"
Jin Chonglin flashed the reporter his killer smile. "That’s more than one question but I’m in a good mood today so I’ll answer all of them as best as I can. Let me just say this once and for all. I’m truly grateful for all of the support that Bright Summit granted me throughout my career while signed with them. I’ll always think of them as family no matter what happens. As for the loyalty that you’re talking about...hehe."
He smirked and looked every bit the playboy that he was known for. "Jin Chonglin’s number one loyalty will always lie on my craft as an artist. Meaning, I’ll always pursue the road which I think will take my artistry to a whole new level, and I believe that LXC Studio will give me that. Owning my own company, or in this case, owning it with my sister-in-law and brother, will ultimately give me unprecedented freedom to do many things that I’ve never tried before as an artist. As for any disagreements with Bright Summit, there’s none of that. Right, President?"
The head of Bright Summit coughed before smiling. "Of course, there’s none of that!"
"I want to ask Iris Long," another reporter said.
She smiled. "Alright. Go ahead."
"First of all, congratulations on your marriage with CEO Jin."
"Thank you."
"My question is: are you pregna—"
Darkness fell over the entire hall.
"!!!"
"What the hell?! What happened?!"
"Come on, Bright Summit! Why aren’t the emergency lights turning on?"
The sudden black out caused a commotion. Bright Summit staff frantically tried to solve the problem while doing their best to calm everyone down. Many turned on the flashlight function on their phones.
Staff members led their president, Jin Chonglin and Iris Long to a safer place backstage away from the reporters in the hall. Moments later, Jin Liwei and his bodyguards followed them inside. Jin Liwei found Iris and pulled her in his arms.
"You okay, love?"
She pressed her face against his chest and took a deep inhale of his scent as if her life depended on it. The air backstage felt a little stuffy and it was making her uncomfortable, but she still nodded to reassure him. Then she pulled his head lower and whispered directly to his ear.
