Chapter 265
After the press conference ended, everyone took cars separately and headed to Donovan’s Restaurant for a feast.
Athena sat in the passenger seat and browsed the news on her phone with a smile.
On the trending search list, almost all entries were related to this online defense debate, with several entries marked with a red “Hot” label.
The top three spots on the overall list were, “Zayn protected Elsie in high school but Elsie’s mother accepts 400 thousand dollars to falsely accuse Zayn“, “Elsie seemed to have lost her voice on the spot due to too much psychological pressure and has been hospitalized for examination“, and “Over 100 million people watched Zayn’s online defense tonight“.
Other statistics showed that all prime–time television ratings and online broadcasting had shrunk drastically tonight because the audience had gone to watch the online defense.
Athena was very satisfied with this result.
Everyone knew about Zayn now. More importantly, Zayn successfully navigated the “archaeological period” that all rising stars must endure, with no one able to make headlines from his past “dirt” or “scandals” anymore.
He was like a mortal who had successfully transcended the tribulation and ascended to become an immortal,
Other relevant trending topics were about Boundary Strike.
The official Twitter account for Boundary Strike posted several videos showing Zayn’s intense efforts during fight and gunfight scenes. These posts received nearly a million likes, and the retweets and comments exceeded 100,000.
In the days following, pre–sale figures for Boundary Strike skyrocketed, prompting several platforms to raise their box office projections to over three billion.
The official Twitter account for the TV series Steel Battalion also released a series of stills featuring Zayn. The caption praised his performance, stating, “From the relentless Mighty Wolf‘ to the tough–but–tender ‘Devil Coach,‘ Mr. Donovan’s performance never disappoints anyone.”
Rumors suggest that Zayn was initially cast in a minor supporting role in Steel Battalion, not even ranking among the top five or six characters. However, the producer has reportedly ordered an increase in his screen time, elevating his role to the third male lead.
Even martial arts superstar Jeremy posted a photo of him and Zayn, saying: [Zayn’s dedication to his roles is se intense that it might even make me somewhat inadequate in comparison in my youth.]
Many other films and television series were in preparation, and Zayn was invited to play the lead role.
There were also some actors and extras who had worked with Zayn who posted Twitter, trying to ride on his popularity
Matthew was also quite satisfied with this.
During lunch break, he asked Louis casually, “Have you seen Boundary Strike?”
Louis nodded vigorously. “Yes! It’s very good! Especially the war scenes and fighting scenes in it. It’s definitely one of the best in history!”
He played along. “Especially Zayn. He acted so well that I cried when I saw the scene of Mighty Wolf’s sacrifice.”
Matthew said calmly, “Write a review in my name and publish it on the internal website and the internal newspaper. Also,

invite everyone from the president’s office to watch the movie and invite the people from the administrative center along.”
Behind the lenses, Louis’s eyes first widened and then revealed a shrewd glint. “This is the first time Mr. Graham has done such a thing! Mr. Graham really cares about Mrs. Graham’s family
“Don’t worry!” He clenched his fists and exuded a vigorous energy. “I’ll use all my talent and literary talent. I must write this essay with all my might to make it touching and exciting!”
Matthew said blandly, “Don’t write it too exaggeratedly.”
“Yes!” Louis stood up, stood at attention, and saluted. “Don’t worry, I’ll write it now.”
He didn’t even drink the coffee that he always had after meals. He walked straight into the office, picked up a piece of paper. and a pen, and wrote.
Typing articles on a computer could feel mechanical. He had to use his hand to write down his thoughts stroke by stroke. That was the true sincerity.
He wrote for the entire afternoon and changed it more than ten times until he was touched and kept shedding tears. After work, he placed the article in front of Matthew and said, “Please take a look.”
Matthew took a few glances and picked up a fountain pen. He neatly crossed out more than ten lines of words and modified a few of them.
Louis’s face almost twisted. ‘Mr. Graham is too ruthless. He deleted the parts where I had the best literary talent and praised Mighty Wolf.
The article that was more than a thousand words had been deleted to only seven to eight hundred words. My heart aches so much.
‘However, with this change, it feels much more concise and refined.’
After editing, Matthew handed two pages of the article to Louis. Take it to the administrative center and publish it in the internal newspaper and on the internal website.”
The next evening, more than 100 employees from the president’s office and the administrative center, including Matthew and the director of administration, went to GT Metro together. They first had a lively meal and then watched Boundary Strike together.
Those who could stay at the Graham Group were not idiots. The president and the president’s office had already started. How could the other departments not understand what the president meant?
Therefore, the other departments followed suit.
Since the headquarters had already taken action, how could the branches not do anything?
Therefore, the Graham Group’s subsidiaries and branches all put watching Boundary Strike on the agenda.
What was Graham Group’s status in the industry and domestically?
That was an unshakable, incomparable dragon–like existence!
They organized a movie viewing for its hundreds of thousands of employees. Could other companies not be influenced by this? Soon, many large and small companies followed suit.
Seeing how private and individually–owned enterprises were so proactive and patriotic, how could state–owned enterprises afford to fall behind? Hence, they also organized movie–watching operations.
