BXBX NOVEL Chapter 115 - YOU NEED TO OWN IT
Bo Qian paced in frustration and anticipation in front of an elevator in a certain four-star hotel in Supreme City. He was nervous, afraid and excited. He could not calm down when he thought about the crowd of reporters in the conference room.
"Mr Bo, you should be preparing to address the media." His assistant spoke to him softly.
"What if Hu Lei fails to make an appearance? I am not leaving this door before she shows up." Bo Qian said stubbornly.
He could not be blamed for being on edge. Though they had made an agreement and talked extensively in the last month about this event, he could not help remembering her disappearance. She had just vanished without a word.
Therefore, even if he knew he was being excessive, he could not help being nervous. The assistant did not know about the matter from long ago, but she decided not to question further. She stood beside him and waited together.
After another five minutes, the elevator doors opened.
"Hu Lei, you are here!" Bo Qian declared enthusiastically.
Hu Lei looked at him with a small smile.
"Did you think that I would not show up?" She asked with a laugh.
Bo Qian looked a little embarrassed. He had harboured some doubts.
"Good afternoon, Mr Chen." He greeted Assistant Chen respectfully.
He did not dare to be negligent of this special personal assistant. The man might be low-key, but everyone who knew Zhong Feng understood that he wielded a lot of power. Offending him would not end well.
"There\'s no need for courtesies. I am merely here as Ms Hu\'s driver." He explained.
The response comforted Bo Qian because he wanted everything to go smoothly, without any complications. He turned to Hu Lei and smiled widely. He held deep affection for her and felt that she was his lucky star. If it were not for her, he would probably not have his position today.
"Stop smiling at me. I am already here, aren\'t I?" She said with mock scorn in her eyes.
"I am just happy that you decided to come back to writing. The world is a less exciting place without Little Ninja Cat." His eyes turned into crescents as he continued smiling.
"Is it too late to abandon this name?" She sighed in embarrassment.
Hu Lei thought that she would get used to her pseudo-name with time. However, no matter how many times it had been mentioned, she still felt like going back in time and slapping her teenage-self in the face.
"It is a perfect name. You need to own it." He laughed.
"You mean that I have to own it because I do." She sighed. "So what are we doing next?"
Bo Qian began explaining the sequence of the upcoming event. Even if the length of the entertainment press conference was not long, he felt that everything needed to be perfect. If there was a mistake, he did not doubt that everyone would suffer.
After all, he knew that Hu Lei had an irrevocable position in a certain powerful man\'s heart.
In the conference room, the reporters were getting a little restless. They had been promised a major piece of news by Sonata Publishing in conjunction with Illusion Entertainment. It should be noted that these companies were the homes to numerous celebrities, and they were subsidiaries of Zhong Industries.
If they had an announcement to make, it would definitely be worth reporting about.
When the promised time for the conference arrived, the automatic blackout shades of the conference room were suddenly released, plunging the room into darkness. Then, the large screen in the front lit up dramatically, displaying the earth.
The camera then zoomed into the wasteland that the earth had become. When the image came closer, it revealed a girl in dirty and worn-out camouflage clothes. She was panting in tiredness while supporting herself with a makeshift spear. She looked exhausted, but there was fierceness in her eyes. The bursting soundtrack complemented her fighting spirit.
The reporters got excited. If there was a movie trailer, there would be celebrities. And if there were celebrities, they would not lack something to talk about.
The ominous scene cut to the displays of the entertainment and production companies. And then the scene showed some doctors in the lab talking about a potential global epidemic. One of the doctors laughed and said, "It\'s about time."
The people looking at the trailer were drawn in by the handsome doctor who had a carefree look on his face with a hint of madness in his eyes.
"It is Bei Gong Hai!" One of the reporters exclaimed.
The others immediately shushed him. They were all watching. Of course, they could see that it was Bei Gong Hai.
The image cut into a godforsaken world overrun by zombies, chaos, killing and starvation.
In the following scene, there was a girl strapped to a bed in the lab and the mad doctor was looking at her with his crazy look. He caressed her face with a smile. It was the same girl who had been on the screen when the movie began.
"You are more special than I thought, my little experiment. You have brought an end to the world." He said with a smile.
"You are the one who began all this. I swear to you, I will make you pay." She said venomously.
Then, there was a montage of her running, fighting and killing zombies.
Finally, there was a display of the words \'The Queen of the Apocalypse\'.
