Translator: 549690339
“Mr. Lewis, is it true that you got Kay Lee a brand endorsement with WY because she slept with you? Please answer this directly.”
“Mr. Lewis…”
“Mr. Lewis…”
“Everyone, I will hold a press conference at the headquarters of WY in one hour, all reporters can go there, here I will not answer any questions.” Finn Lewis throws down these words and then immediately gets into the Ice Horse driven by Jim Lewis, heading towards the WY headquarters.
The news of Finn Lewis hosting a press conference was instantly disseminated to the internet by these reporters, all major television stations sent people directly, there was no choice. Who could deny that Finn Lewis’s status is different now? If he was just an ordinary tycoon, not many media reporters would pay attention, but Finn Lewis is the world’s richest man. Almost all media stations with permanent reporters in Celeston City sent people to cover it, be it newspapers, magazines, or online media and so forth.
No one expected Finn Lewis to respond so quickly, but the uproar on the internet drew countless people’s attention to this press conference. When Finn Lewis arrived at WY, the first thing he did was call Mr. M and tell him to arrange a live broadcast of the press conference by the T Corporation’s news team. As for other television and media outlets, such news conferences are naturally not broadcasted live.
Domestic and foreign media differ, but there is no such restriction for online media. Finn Lewis is the biggest boss of the T Company, the news team of T Company naturally consists of T company employees. Who would dare to expose their own boss? That would be tantamount to seeking one’s death! So even though T Company News also reprinted the news earlier, they did not, like other media, exacerbate the issues, they just took a neutral stand.
However, not many netizens are reasonable. With the guidance of the media, the comments section is filled with various opinions. Now that Finn Lewis has asked for the broadcast, Mr. M who understands Finn Lewis’ character simply no longer advised against it and immediately passed on Finn’s instructions. The news of the live broadcast of the press conference by WY and T Corporation news simultaneously began to circulate on the internet immediately.
After receiving the news, Youku also decided to broadcast live. This is the advantage of online media. An hour is not a long time, combined with some media who arrived as soon as they received the news, therefore the hour passed very quickly. By the time the media had completed all their preparations, an hour had already passed.
About an hour and a half later, the press conference officially began. WY had originally sent a host, but Finn Lewis told him to step down, and instead took the microphone onstage himself.
“Hello everyone, I am Finn Lewis, I believe I don’t need to introduce myself further. I also believe I do not need to repeat the purpose of today’s press conference. Since everyone is so interested, I will respond to it here.” As soon as Finn Lewis went on stage, he opened the microphone and began to speak.
As soon as Finn Lewis began to speak, the reporters were slightly taken aback. The press conferences Finn Lewis attended could be counted on one hand, they had never had the chance to interview him before. This was the first time, but this first time, many media reporters felt an aura of dominance from Finn as soon as he began speaking.
But it’s understandable. At a young age of just over twenty, he became the world’s richest man. How could such a person not be dominant? When Finn Lewis began responding, everyone immediately perked up.
“Additionally, I will only answer a few questions. Please maintain order at the scene. I know what you are interested in. Rest assured, if I choose not to speak, it is useless to ask. However, if I do choose to speak, I assure you I will not beat around the bush. I will give you a straightforward answer.” Finn Lewis spoke lightly.
After saying this, Finn Lewis directly pointed to a reporter in the front row with raised hand and said, “You, our reporter friend.”
“Mr. Lewis, hello, I’m a reporter from Shining Pearl TV. I want to ask you a question. Do you admit to the news exposed on the internet that you are keeping Kay Lee as a mistress, is this true?” The reporter asked bluntly
“That’s two questions, but I can answer them both. However, before that, I would like to ask you a question.” Finn Lewis looked at him and said.
“Please ask, Mr. Lewis.” The reporter immediately nodded in response.
“Well, could you explain the term ‘keeping’ to me.” Finn Lewis asked indifferently.
“Uh…” The reporter was immediately stunned. How do you explain ‘keeping’? Everyone knows what ‘keeping’ means, right? How does one explain it? Not just this reporter, but also the netizens watching the live stream were also a bit stunned, however, everyone more or less got a glimpse of Finn Lewis’ character: he is dominant. Even if this press conference was about news detrimental to him, he still radiated an aura of dominance that put all the reporters in check, it did not run as the reporters had anticipated.
“If you can’t explain it, I can search online for the answer.” Finn Lewis smiled lightly, picked up his own phone and gave it a shake. With Finn’s movement, a webpage appeared on the big screen behind him. Everyone familiar with the internet would know this page, it’s from an online encyclopedia.
The explanation for ‘keeping’ was on it: ‘keeping’ is a transactional activity based on a certain economic transaction, with companionship and sexual intercourse as bargaining chips. To put it simply, it is a relationship formed on the premise of money.
“Does everyone understand now?” Finn Lewis looked around at all the reporters and asked directly.
All the reporters nodded their heads. Well, although this explanation is rather formal, does it not imply the same meaning that everyone understood ‘keeping’ as? There is no difference; this is the meaning of the term ‘keeping’.
“Now that everyone knows the meaning of this term, I can tell you very plainly, it’s nothing more than nonsense because ‘keeping’ implies a relationship formed on the basis of money. But there has been no money exchange between Kay Lee and me, so this matter is invalid.” Finn Lewis said straightforwardly.
The reporters below were stunned for a moment, and almost instantaneously, another reporter raised his hand. Finn pointed to another reporter. This reporter’s question was even sharper: “Mr. Lewis, you just denied that you are keeping Kay Lee, but it is true that not long ago, in the incident where Kay Lee was **, WY was the first to ask Ms. Kay Lee to endorse a game for a very high endorsement fee. I want to ask, you can deny the rumors on the internet that Ms. Kay Lee went to bed with you and had a relationship with you, and then you helped her, can you acknowledge this?”
