This short film, which was originally a thrilling one for sports car enthusiasts, was a painful experience for Mrs. Zhou.
During these two minutes, many people were still not satisfied, but she felt like half a day had passed.
She saw that beside Mrs. Pei, besides the old lady sitting there and an extra old man, there was an empty chair left, and Jiang Se also sat next to it.
"How is this possible?"
Mrs. Zhou's enthusiasm was immediately cooled down as if someone had poured a plate of cold water over her head.
When there were two empty seats next to Mrs. Pei before, she was not invited to sit down when she went over to say hello. Why was Jiang Se sitting next to them now
"Did ELYSEES not arrange a place for her?"
She muttered to herself, and Mrs. Weng beside her also noticed that something was wrong.
"Isn't that Uncle Liang from Hong Kong Zhongnan Industrial?" She pointed at Feng Zhongliang, very surprised:
"Why is he coming?"
The Feng family is well-known in Hong Kong, and Zhongnan Industrial is also well-known. In addition, it has had a cooperative relationship with Jianghua Group in recent years. Industry insiders are very optimistic about the cooperation project between the two parties. It is expected that the leisure and resort hotel jointly developed by the two parties will be officially put into use in two years, and the stock situation of both parties will be very good by then.
However, in contrast to the growing fame of Zhongnan Industrial, its founder Feng Zhongliang is extremely low-key.
He has almost completely shifted the focus of his career, and apart from holding the real decision-making power in Zhongnan Industrial, he has not appeared in public most of the time.
What was so special about such an ELYSEES press conference? Not only did a row of princes from the circle come, but Mrs. Pei also showed up with her family elders, and even Feng Zhongliang came and sat in the front row.
Mrs. Zhou felt a little uneasy. She wondered why Jiang Se sat next to Mrs. Pei. Was it because the organizer of the event did not arrange for him to do his job well, or was there some other connection
After the commercial, Piech should take the stage to speak.
This short advertising film between Leopard and Jiang Se has deep meaning. The generation gap between father and daughter symbolizes the difference between the Leopard series and the ELYSEES brand, which perfectly brings out the theme.
In just two minutes, Jiang Se's intention of driving the Leopard to "grow and improve" was very obvious. During the nearly one minute of speeding, the focus was on the speed and performance of the Leopard, proving to the audience that the Leopard is not just about appearance. This is also very consistent with the impact of Jiang Se's beauty and powerful aura when she first appeared.
But what is worth pondering is the performance of the father driving the ELYSEES model who chooses to let go. The last two cars, representing different eras and concepts, leave from two directions respectively, from the classic black and white to the vivid and rich world of colors. This also means that the Leopard supercar breaks away from the role of "father" and moves towards independence and growth.
It can be said that this ELYSEES advertisement has answered every question that Chinese netizens have had in recent times in this extremely meaningful advertisement.
Tolerance, understanding, growth and letting go all represent that the era when Tao Cen controlled ELYSEES is gone forever.
At this moment, even though many reporters behind the media seats had preconceived ideas and thought that Tao Cen and ELYSEES should be inseparable before seeing this advertisement, they still couldn't help but think deeply after seeing it.
When ELYSEES was seeking innovation and breakthroughs, and when the father driving the classic ELYSEES car in the advertisement let go and turned away, no longer chasing that moment, many reporters had a question in their minds: Is Tao Cen willing to let go easily
After a short commercial ended, Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief. She noticed that the expressions of many people in the media seats had changed.
Anyone who has seen the commercial cannot deny the compatibility between Jiang Se and the Leopard sports car.
At this moment, many people felt sorry for Tao Cen. She might be the most embarrassed person in this advertisement. Many people have vaguely associated her with the image of a man driving a classic ELYSEES model. She represents the glorious era of ELYSEES. However, the glory of ELYSEES in the next season will obviously have to be handed over to others to continue and carry forward.
This situation easily reminds people of Tao Cen's current status in the entertainment industry. She is already one of China's top female stars, is very famous, and has a strong appeal to the Chinese audience.
"Tao Cen... is he already nearly forty years old?"
In the press box, someone suddenly asked this question out of the blue.
Tao Cen is indeed not young anymore, but because she has been surrounded by so much halo and aura in the past, when people see her for the first time, their reaction is to ignore her age and focus on other things about her.
At this moment, a short advertising video suddenly reminded people of her age. Her advantages are indeed not very obvious anymore.
The media reporters were silent for a while. Even those who made a living by writing celebrity gossip couldn't bear to talk about Tao Cen's age at this time.
Her career is still developing very well, but it is no longer at its peak. In the past, she has been deified for too long, and there is no actress in China who can compare with her. People always focus on her works and the various halos around her.
But when Jiang Se appeared and achieved enough to catch up with Tao Cen, or even be on par with her, the "mythical" nature of the name Tao Cen naturally became weaker.
The people around had complicated thoughts. Some listened carefully, some looked at Tao Cen with sympathy, some speculated about the identities of Mrs. Pei and her group, and some, like Mrs. Zhou, felt uneasy in their hearts.
In the middle of the stage, Piech was introducing the Leopard series officially launched by the ELYSEES Group.
Mrs. Pei's every move was watched by Mrs. Zhou, which made her frown.
Piech was still talking when Mrs. Pei's cell phone suddenly rang. She took it out and took a look. Her action was immediately noticed by Piech, Mrs. Zhou and others who were paying close attention to this place.
When Jiang Se came over and sat down earlier, Piech was afraid that the Pei family would turn hostile, but the Pei family didn't react at all, which made her feel a little relieved.
Mrs. Piech's action of looking at her mobile phone at this time made Piech wonder if he had been talking for too long and making the lady impatient.
This thought flashed through her mind, and she also wondered whether Mrs. Pei's behavior of looking at her phone might be related to Jiang Se. The next moment, she realized that she was thinking too much. After looking at her phone, Mrs. Pei smiled.
"A message from Ayi."
She held the phone close to Mrs. Pei's ear and whispered to her:
"He also saw the commercial shot by Sese."
When talking about her grandson, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but smile. Mrs. Pei held her phone:
"I'll give him a call. Dan and the others seem to have told him that we're coming."
Old Mrs. Pei nodded slightly, and Mrs. Pei stood up.
Mrs. Zhou had been watching her movements. When she stood up and walked to the corner and left the venue, it seemed that the security guards outside had also noticed the unusual movement and silently changed their positions. Mrs. Zhou hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, held her bag, and slowly stood up.
Everyone at the scene was very smart and could see Mrs. Zhou's actions everywhere.
In fact, several people also wanted to follow. Mrs. Weng half stood up, hesitant.
She was not like Mrs. Zhou. She had never met Mrs. Pei before. Her husband's company was not prominent and could not be compared with the Zhou family's real estate. Given the unequal status of both parties, if she approached them rashly, she might just annoy them.
If Mrs. Zhou could get close to Mrs. Pei, perhaps they would have a chance to get to know each other in the future, play mahjong together, and strengthen their relationship.
Thinking of this, she raised her butt and sat down again.
Mrs. Pei found a quiet corner and called her son to ask about his situation in Xijiuzhou. The mother and son chatted for a few words. Pei Yi was obviously very pleased with his mother and grandmother's support for Jiang Se. He was very sweet and made Mrs. Pei smile:
"Come back when you have a holiday. Your grandma said she wanted to come over today and show you the car."
She was talking happily, her eyes fell on the floor-to-ceiling glass in front of her, but she unexpectedly noticed a figure standing not far away reflected in the glass. The smile on Mrs. Pei's face slowly faded:
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll call you after I book the car tonight. Be careful. It's getting cold recently, so remember to wear more clothes. No matter how busy you are at work, you must take care of your health and don't forget to eat when you're busy."
She gave a few instructions and hung up the phone. Then she saw Mrs. Zhou holding her bag, coming from the direction of the bathroom.
"What a coincidence, I met you here."
Mrs. Zhou had a look of surprise on her face. She looked up as if she had seen Mrs. Pei by chance. She paused for a moment, then trotted over.
She must not know how poor her performance was. Mrs. Pei was interrupted while talking to her son. She couldn't even smile perfunctorily. She just nodded, turned around, holding her phone and preparing to go back into the venue. Mrs. Zhou followed her closely:
"I really didn't expect that I would have such a chance to meet you today and see you again and again."
Mrs. Pei nodded:
"I'm here to accompany the old lady at home for a walk and a look."
Her words cheered up Mrs. Zhou, but she felt that she had lost her temper before. Seeing Jiang Se sitting next to her, she came up with a lot of ideas.
If Jiang Se really knew the Pei family, and she had such a background in this circle, it might have been spread long ago. How could she allow many netizens to curse her online? Even Tao Cen's fans have been leaving attacking messages on her major social media accounts for the past six months, but she has not shown up.
"What a coincidence! Today's occasion is quite lively." While the two were talking, Mrs. Pei was almost back to the venue, and Mrs. Zhou was still beside her:
"I have been buying ELYSEES cars for many years, and several of them are very comfortable to sit in."
"That's not necessary." Mrs. Pei heard her words and refused calmly:
"We came here today to see ELYSEES' new car."
"Leopard? I just saw the ad, and although the appearance is good, it is a little worse than the classic model of ELYSEES."
The price of Leopard sports car should be high, but as a classic model that ELYSEES has always promoted, its price and grade are not inferior to sports cars. After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Mrs. Pei took a deep breath and stopped walking:
"What's wrong with Leopard?"
Although she was still smiling, her eyes were slightly gloomy, with an indescribable sternness and majesty, which made Mrs. Zhou feel a little flustered. She was stunned for a moment and found that Mrs. Pei did not leave. Instead, she looked at her straight, as if waiting for her answer. She subconsciously said:
"Although Leopard is good, it is a new product after all, not very famous, and it is endorsed by Jiang Se. In comparison, the classic model of ELYSEES is the most tried and tested model in the ten years since they entered China." It is also the first choice of the wealthy. Generally, people with some taste and some money will choose the one recommended by Mrs. Zhou without exception. Mrs. Zhou forced a smile:
"If the old lady likes it and finds it pleasing to the eye and feels comfortable after trying it, I'll have someone send it to your home later."
Her words made Mrs. Pei stare at her for a long time, which made Mrs. Zhou feel terrified.
"Some taste and some money?" Mrs. Pei smiled:
"But I have plenty of money."
Mrs. Zhou was still trying to figure out what she meant by this, and the next moment Mrs. Pei asked:
"You are Mrs. Zhou from Jingtai Real Estate, right?"
Mrs. Zhou didn't expect that Mrs. Pei had remembered her casual introduction. She was a little happy and nodded:
"You remember."
"I don't know what my daughter-in-law has done to offend you that makes you so uncomfortable. I will teach her to be more polite in front of older women." Mrs. Pei's eyes were calm at this time, but this look made Mrs. Zhou's eyelids twitch constantly. Her words also made Mrs. Zhou feel uneasy. Then Mrs. Pei said:
"If she is wrong, I apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive her."
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was completely shocked.
Mrs. Pei's words made her even more uneasy than if she were ridiculed in public.
At that moment, she felt her hands and feet cold and her lips began to tremble. When had she offended Mrs. Pei's daughter-in-law to make this lady say such words to her
At this moment, Mrs. Zhou still held out a glimmer of hope, hoping that Mrs. Pei was just a busy lady and had made a mistake. She was no longer anxious to get close to Mrs. Pei, but was anxious to explain and try not to cause trouble for her husband.
"How dare you? Who is your daughter-in-law? Did you remember it wrong?"
She spoke with a breath raised to her throat. After she finished speaking, Mrs. Pei smiled softly, turned around and shouted:
"Sese, come here!"
When she spoke, Mrs. Zhou heard every word she said with her own ears, but it was difficult to put them together.
Mrs. Pei's voice was not loud, but not soft either. She was not far from Jiang Se. After she shouted, people like Mrs. Weng who had been watching her were attracted by her shout.
Even Piech, who was speaking in Taichung, paused and looked in the direction of Mrs. Pei towards Jiang Se.
Jiang Se didn't understand what was going on, so she stood up. Mrs. Pei waved at her:
"Come here."
Mrs. Pei curled her lips, Feng Zhongliang's eyes also showed satisfaction, Cheng Runing laughed and took out his cell phone:
"There's something interesting to watch."
Jiang Se walked towards Mrs. Pei. After seeing who she was, she heard Mrs. Pei calling her name and thought of what Mrs. Pei said. Mrs. Zhou's hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably. "Impossible, impossible, impossible..." she said to herself. (To be continued)
