Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Miss Shi, Miss Lin, I’m Assistant Li, who’s in charge of you. Take a look at today’s speech first. You’re not allowed to bring it on stage later. Memorize it.”

Assistant Li, who was present, noticed the subtle awkwardness in the air and quickly tried to ease it.

Lin Yin took the script and looked at the sincere words written. Most of them were words of apology.

As for Shi Dai’s, it was all about how aggrieved she felt, how the cyberbullying these few days had caused her great mental and physical trouble, and how her depression had worsened because of the cyberbullying and she even had the thought of committing suicide.

Lin Yin even wanted to ask if Su Fei was the one who wrote Shi Dai’s speech.

Lin Yin cleared her throat and read it out loud. “I’m sorry for encroaching on public resources. I want to apologize for what happened online a few days ago. I’m good friends with Shi Dai from the Shi Corporation. We’re very close. We were rehearsing a short school play that day…”

At this point, Lin Yin frowned and asked in confusion, “It’s so lengthy, do I have to memorize all of it?”

“You don’t know how to memorize it?” Shi Dai took the opportunity to mock her. “If you don’t know how to memorize it, scram back to your slum. I don’t want to be seen with a lowly person like you…”

All the media outlets present gasped. Someone had turned on the loudspeaker in the backstage studio. Although they had yet to enter, the reporters present could hear their words clearly.

Before the press conference started, they heard Miss Shi’s latest words. Lin Yin was undoubtedly the one who was forced to compromise.

This press conference was also planned by the Shi Corporation. Time was money. Several reporters released the recording at the scene.

For a moment, public opinion began to lean towards Lin Yin again. This time, the criticism of the Shi Corporation on the Internet was overwhelming. Shi Dai’s words were exactly the same as the last time, making her unable to retaliate.

This time, Lin Yin’s words and actions in the studio were not offensive at all. Even if they wanted to blame someone, she could not be blamed.

The scene was in chaos. Someone called Assistant Li urgently to inform him. Assistant Li hurriedly turned off the loudspeaker, but it was too late. The press conference had to stop immediately.

President Shi was so angry that his mind was blank and his blood surged. He strode into the studio and slapped Shi Dai’s face. “I told you to stop talking. Why didn’t you listen?!”

Shi Dai covered her face as tears streamed down her face. She couldn’t believe that her father would hit her.

“Dad, why did you hit me? Can’t I even prepare for the press conference? It’s all this Lin Yin’s fault! Hit her!”

It happened so suddenly that Shi Dai still did not know why her father suddenly hit her.

President Shi was furious. He looked at Lin Yin, who was sitting in the corner with a script in her hand. It was obvious that she had been reading it seriously just now. When Lin Yin saw Shi Dai being hit, confusion appeared on her face.

An assistant in a black shirt jogged in and whispered something in President Shi’s ear. President Shi’s expression became even heavier.

After hearing this, his face darkened. He waved at the flustered and stunned Assistant Li.

When Assistant Li came in to prepare, he accidentally pressed the button for the loudspeaker. Just now, they had checked the surveillance cameras. This was just an accident, not someone’s scheme.

Now that things had come to this, the press conference could not be held anymore. Many reporters were satisfied and left the venue. Some reporters who did not record the conversation just now continued to squat at the scene, wanting to interview Lin Yin or Shi Dai directly.

President Shi looked at the situation slightly. He did not know what his daughter would do next. It was better to hurry home to be safe. Thinking of this, he asked the bodyguards to send her back.

After being hit, Shi Dai was even more indignant. She couldn’t believe that Lin Yin had taken advantage of her again.

Lin Yin also wanted to leave early. When she left, she ran in front of Shi Dai.

Shi Dai, who could be fooled by Su Fei, naturally did not think too much. She saw that Lin Yin was in a hurry to leave and wanted to teach her a lesson.

There were layers of reporters surrounding the back door. Lin Yin glanced at them from the corner of her eye. Shi Dai had already followed her.

Very good, now’s the time!

Lin Yin knew what Shi Dai would do next, so she would cooperate with her.

As Lin Yin had expected, the next second, Shi Dai reached out and pushed Lin Yin. Lin Yin happened to be at the last step and lost her balance and fell. There were cries of surprise from the surroundings, and the reporters finally took the opportunity to take photos.

Fortunately, there were many people in front. Lin Yin was held by someone and did not fall very hard.

Was today over? It was really tiring to pretend to be innocent and naive. She did not know how Su Fei did it, but Lin Yin sighed in her heart.

The Su Fei mimicking show today officially ended.
