376: Chapter 376 Becoming Famous Online

Chen Guangke looked completely unconvinced.

"You already brought him here, how could you possibly not force him to go on stage to explain? I say you should just let yourself go up and explain instead. You aren't like you can't remember the project data anyway."

Shen Yan stepped forward and lightly slapped the back of Chen Guangke's head.

"You talk too much!"

"Why do you think I insisted on having him go on stage to explain the project, instead of just trying to bring in more investors?"

Chen Guangke clutched the back of his head and asked, "What's the difference between you explaining and him explaining? Everyone already knows he's your subordinate anyway."

Shen Yan shook his head while explaining:

"It's not the same. I am me, and he is him. Only a professional researcher, speaking from a professional perspective about the project's feasibility, will make them truly believe this project can be done, and isn't just idealism."

After listening, Chen Guangke sighed.

"Forget it, I'd better focus on my own technology. I really can't understand all these roundabout things you guys deal with."

Shen Yan let out a soft laugh.

"Don't worry, I never intended for you to take my position."

Chen Guangke took a good while to process what Shen Yan meant. He laughed and kicked Shen Yan, saying, "You said I talk too much, but aren't you quite talkative yourself?!"

The two of them joked around while reviewing the press conference schedule backstage.

Not long after, they finished reviewing the schedule and prepared to go on stage.

The press conference flow was simple.

Shen Yan needed to go on first to introduce himself, the company, and the company's project to the reporters.

After the introduction, he would pull Jiang Yuan onto the stage to explain the project details to the reporters.

Once the explanation was finished, the reporters would ask them questions.

At this moment, it was the first segment of the press conference—Shen Yan's self-introduction.

"Click!"

As the sound of the camera powering on echoed, Shen Yan walked onto the stage in front of numerous lenses.

"Hello everyone, I am Shen Yan, the CEO of Company Name and Chenghu Company."

As his voice faded, enthusiastic applause erupted from below.

"CEO Shen looks so young!"

"Hahahaha! If people didn't know better, they'd think CEO Shen was only in his twenties!"

Shen Yan hadn't expected the reporters below to be so supportive.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied to everyone, "You are too kind. Although I really don't look like someone in his thirties, saying twenties is still too much of an exaggeration."

Hearing this, the reporters burst into laughter.

"CEO Shen is very self-aware, knowing that he looks young."

Shen Yan, hearing this, just smiled and continued introducing his company's project.

While he was introducing the company's project, the comments in the live stream exploded.

[Ahhh! Are you serious? This person is actually that young Shen Yan?!]

[Heavens! Although I imagined this person might not be that old, I didn't expect him to be both not old and especially handsome, sob sob sob]

[Can you all stop being infatuated? He's my husband!]

[Nonsense, he's clearly my husband!]

[Hahahaha, you all aren't even listening to what he's saying, just mindlessly drooling over the screen.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, what do you know? His appearance before us is purely to give our eyes a feast.]

Shen Yan was unaware that the live stream comments were solely praising his appearance; he was still introducing his company's project.

After a brief introduction to the company's project, he turned to look at Chen Guangke, signaling him to call Jiang Yuan up.

Because they had already coordinated the flow, Chen Guangke unhesitatingly pulled the trembling and nervous Jiang Yuan, who was still standing nearby, onto the stage, and whispered, "It's your turn, good luck!"

Jiang Yuan swallowed, suppressed his nervousness, and slowly shuffled onto the stage step by step.

"H-hello everyone, I am the technical lead for the project. I am Jiang Yuan."

His voice was too soft; even with a microphone, the reporters below barely heard what he said.

"What did you say your name was?!"

"Is it Jiang something, right?"

Hearing the reporters' questions, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke louder into the microphone, "I said... my name is Jiang Yuan!"

This time, his voice was certainly loud enough.

The entire venue echoed.

"My name is Jiang Yuan..."

"Jiang Yuan..."

"Jiang Yuan..."

"Yuan..."

A few seconds later.

The echo completely vanished.

Everyone in the venue fell silent.

Jiang Yuan hadn't even started explaining the project and had already created an embarrassing situation. His face was flushed red with shame, and his nose felt sore.

Just as he was about to give up, Shen Yan suddenly patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'm here."

Saying that, Shen Yan stepped forward and addressed the microphone, "My apologies, he is quite nervous. I will finish what he wanted to say. His name is Jiang Yuan, and he is a very important technical lead for the project in our company."

"Our company's project has been entirely his responsibility up to this point. Under his leadership, the first cycle of our project achieved very successful results."

As his words ended, the reporters gave Jiang Yuan enthusiastic applause.

"Great! Well done!"

"So he's a researcher, no wonder he's so introverted."

"Impressive! Impressive!"

Jiang Yuan hadn't expected the reporters to be so nice.

Knowing he was a researcher, they still applauded him and encouraged him.

Because he realized these reporters weren't the type to give him a hard time, the tension in his shoulders, which had been tight since the beginning, gradually relaxed.

"Yes... that's how it is. I came up here specifically to explain our company's project to you."

"I know that when you first heard about our company's project, you might have thought our company was too far-fetched."

"But that's actually not the case. Our company's philosophy..."

Just as he patiently explained the project to everyone, the bullet comments in the live stream were screaming.

[Ahhh! Oh my god, this little researcher is too cute, how can there be such an adorable person?!]

[If the reporters hadn't applauded just now, he would have been on the verge of tears...]

[So pitiful, little brother, can you come cry at my house? I want to see you cry?!]

[What the heck, are you all that perverse upstairs?]

[What do you know! When a man sheds tears, a woman's heart breaks (excitement)]

[Hahahaha, you group of ill-intentioned women~]

[Passing by, don't miss out! If you want to show support, remember to download the software newly launched by boss Shen Yan!]

[That's right, that's right! From today onwards, we are group fans of the company, and combat fans of the software!]

Shen Yan didn't know that this press conference had not only garnered fans for himself and Jiang Yuan, but also for the software and the company. He was still listening to Jiang Yuan explain the project.
