Chapter 234 Old Qin's Grand Arrangement, Press Conference Begins

The atmosphere backstage at Hall 1 of the Rongcheng International Convention Center was tense and busy.

Surrounded by a group of security personnel, Jiang Jing walked into the backstage lounge.

As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa in the corner.

It was Li Jian.

Upon seeing Jiang Jing enter, he stood up immediately, an honest and hearty smile on his face.

He hurried over and gave Jiang Jing's shoulder a firm pat. "Brother Jiang, oh, you finally made it! I've been feeling anxious this whole time..."

"Your setup is way too grand. When I walked in just now, I was almost scared off by the sheer scale of it!"

"You're really full of surprises. To think you're the boss of such a massive company—you really are something!"

His tone was filled with disbelief and a touch of pride for his friend, without a hint of estrangement or sycophancy despite Jiang Jing's change in status.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Jing felt genuinely happy and replied with a smile, "Brother Li, what boss? I just got lucky."

"I didn't ask you here today to show off; I have a real surprise for you to experience. I guarantee you won't regret coming!"

"Hey! I believe you!" Li Jian nodded vigorously. Although he was burning with curiosity, he didn't ask what the surprise was.

Just then, a staff member came to remind them that the conference was about to start and asked the guests and audience to take their seats.

Jiang Jing nodded and said to Li Jian, "Brother Li, go ahead and find a seat in the front row. The show is about to begin."

"You got it!" Li Jian replied, then followed the staff toward the venue.

Jiang Jing looked through a gap backstage at the audience entering the hall.

Sure enough, he saw many familiar faces—representatives from major domestic companies, including quite a few high-level executives.

They were whispering to one another, their eyes filled with curiosity and intrigue, clearly eager to be the first to see what major move Xingchen Technology was planning to make this time.

The conference was about to officially begin.

Jiang Jing straightened his suit and took his seat in the reserved spot at the front and center.

Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong stood like two guardian deities, one to the left and one to the right, slightly behind him, scanning their surroundings with vigilant eyes.

Just as the host was about to take the stage to warm up the crowd, a small commotion broke out at the venue entrance.

Everyone turned to look, only to see a group of about seven or eight people walking steadily into the venue.

Leading them were two middle-aged men with powerful auras. One was wearing a crisp military uniform with the rank of a senior colonel clearly visible; his face was resolute, his eyes piercing, and he carried himself with the decisive, efficient air of a soldier.

The other was dressed in a well-tailored dark suit, with a reserved and profound temperament and sharp eyes that seemed capable of reading into people's hearts, clearly a figure of significant authority.

Behind these two followed several others with extraordinary bearing, including two white-haired elderly men wearing glasses who clearly looked like titans of academia.

The appearance of this group instantly drew the gaze of the entire hall.

The "know-it-alls" in the crowd began to chime in.

"Whoa! Isn't that Staff Officer Zhang from the Eastern Theater Command? Why would he attend a commercial product launch?"

"And the person next to him... that looks like the newly appointed Deputy Director Liu from national security? My god, these are two heavyweights with real power!"

"And the ones following them are... Academician Qin and Academician Qian?!"

"This lineup... isn't it a bit too exaggerated? Does a tech company's product launch warrant the presence of such high-level figures?"

"Could it be... that what's being released today is actually important?"

"Look! They're heading toward Jiang Jing!"

A wave of uncontrollable whispering rippled through the audience. Many well-informed individuals had recognized the newcomers and were utterly shocked.

Everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Jiang Jing, who sat calmly in the front row, secretly speculating about the kind of background and influence this young man truly possessed.

Elder Qin took the lead and walked up to Jiang Jing with a chuckle, whispering in a playful, childish tone, "Hehe, kid, how about that? The scene I've set for you—is it grand enough? I haven't embarrassed you, have I?"

Jiang Jing smiled and stood up, his tone slightly pretentious, "Elder Qin, you know I've never cared for these superficial displays..."

"...You kid just love to put on an act!" Elder Qin retorted with a roll of his eyes.

His expression then turned serious as he introduced them, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Staff Officer Zhang from the Eastern Theater Command, and this is Deputy Director Liu from national security."

"These two leaders pushed aside quite a few important meetings just to come here and support you!"

Jiang Jing wore a perfectly measured smile and reached out his hand, saying modestly yet confidently, "Staff Officer Zhang, Deputy Director Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Jiang Jing."

Staff Officer Zhang and Deputy Director Liu showed no airs of superiority; instead, they shook hands with Jiang Jing warmly and firmly.

Staff Officer Zhang's voice was resonant, carrying the forthrightness of a soldier: "Comrade Jiang Jing, I've heard so much about you! Old Qin has praised you to the high heavens; we came here today specifically to broaden our horizons!"

Deputy Director Liu smiled gently, "Mr. Jiang is young and promising, creating one miracle after another; we were eager to see this for ourselves. We hope today's visit will be worthwhile."

These big shots stood in the front row, chatting cordially with Jiang Jing as if no one else were around, the atmosphere as harmonious as that of old friends.

Every observant person in the audience saw this scene clearly, which only confirmed their suspicions—this Jiang Jing's background was truly extraordinary.

Whatever was being released today was likely going to be quite significant.

After the pleasantries, Staff Officer Zhang and Deputy Director Liu were naturally invited to take the primary seats on either side of Jiang Jing, while Elder Qin and the others took their seats in turn.

The first row, which had been reserved, was instantly occupied by these heavyweights.

The representatives and executives from the various major companies were arranged in the second row.

Soon, the venue lights dimmed slightly, and a spotlight shone onto the stage.

Guided by the host, Jiang Yan, dressed in an elegant professional suit and carrying herself with a capable air, walked calmly to the center of the stage with a confident smile.

"Distinguished guests, members of the media, welcome to the Xingchen Technology new product launch!"

Her clear, pleasant voice carried through the microphone across the entire venue. The previously noisy scene instantly quieted down, and everyone's gaze focused on her.

Jiang Yan's opening remarks were concise and powerful. She briefly reviewed the founding mission of Xingchen Technology and the success of the "huanyan beauty serum," before her tone shifted, becoming grave and filled with strength:

"The mission of Xingchen Technology has never stopped at simply making people more beautiful. We have always believed that the power of technology should serve humanity better!"

"Today, we are about to unveil an innovative achievement into which we have poured countless efforts. It may not be as dazzling as the beauty serum, but the significance it carries is far deeper and more profound!"

She took a deep breath, scanned the audience who were holding their breath in anticipation—especially the big shots in the front row whose gazes were burning with intensity—and announced clearly:

"It is the 'Rebirth' series—[Neural Induction Prosthetics]!"

As she spoke, the massive LED screen behind her suddenly lit up, and the six characters for "Neural Induction Prosthetics" were brilliantly displayed!

The entire hall erupted in an uproar, with gasps of surprise echoing one after another.

A Prosthetic limb?!

Xingchen Technology was actually getting into medical devices?!

And it was something that sounded as sci-fi as "Neural Induction"?!

Jiang Yan's words were like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in the venue.
