Chapter 589: 400. What’s in the treasure box (Extra Chapter for the alliance leader WJSNSLHY)_2
"I told you if anyone messes with the control room, I’ll have to take responsibility, no one is allowed in, if anyone goes in, I’ll lose my job."
The staff was inexplicably persistent, with guards on both sides.
"We won’t go in, but you could at least help us switch the PPT!"
Gong Guanyu was really at a loss besides being anxious.
But wasting time following him was no solution either; delaying further would only make Guan Yongyi’s toes dig into the ground.
At this moment, Guan Yongyi on stage had exhausted all the pleasantries, her heart was in a panic.
She really couldn’t find anything else to say and could only look toward the backstage, where her team and the staff were huddled together, but she didn’t know the situation.
Not only the experts in the legal field, but many lay audience members also understood the current situation.
The data used for verification was completely mismatched, and there was a lot of discussion below.
Guan Yongyi was being watched by hundreds of eyes, and the nervousness that had disappeared before rolled back, leaving her mind blank.
Help, help, help!
It was no longer just her own embarrassment.
If she messed up the presentation, not only would her mentor Li Suying be embarrassed, but the whole research team would be as well, and even her mother, whom she had just introduced, might be laughed at in circles.
Would a deus ex machina save the day?
By logic, such things don’t usually happen.
But just when she was on the brink of despair, about to step down in shame amidst boos, she saw a familiar figure carrying a ladder into the venue.
The man quickly walked to an aisle a bit forward in the middle, set up the ladder.
Climbed up in a few steps, unplugged the cord of the overhead projector, inserted a new HDMI, connected it to another laptop, and played the new PPT.
The moment the screen returned from 23% to normal data, Lu Jincheng winked at her.
That warm, powerful, calm, and confident smile was just like instant heart-saving medicine.
"Sorry, everyone, teachers and students, there were some technical difficulties with the hotel’s computer, which caused the data to be displayed incorrectly, but it is now normal..."
Lu Jincheng stood at the podium, picked up another microphone, and spoke loudly under everyone’s gaze.
Before he finished speaking, the image on the screen suddenly went out.
Guan Yongyi’s heart, which had just landed, suddenly bounced back up, nearly causing her to cry out.
However, the sudden event didn’t affect the man’s composure at all.
He continued speaking.
"Oh dear, it seems the hotel’s projector is having issues again, but please rest assured, I anticipated this, so I brought my own projector."
After speaking, he indeed pulled out a brand new projector from his backpack, went down, plugged it in, and connected it to the computer.
This man was full of ease, his expressions and words were quite amusing, and many guests were amused, watching him operate, and the atmosphere immediately eased a lot.
Once the display was restored, he picked up the microphone again: "Everyone now..."
But then, no sound came out from behind the microphone.
Lu Jincheng tapped the microphone, spread his hands with a helpless gesture; clearly the microphone was cut off.
Guan Yongyi’s eyes dimmed, she took a deep breath, never had she felt so at a loss.
But never did she expect that Lu Jincheng would pull another microphone from the backpack.
He held it up to his face, mouthed a few words, but the audience couldn’t hear anything.
As everyone puzzled, Lu Jincheng flashed a radiant smile and said, "Sorry, this actually does have sound."
"Because I just so happened to predict that, given the hotel’s speakers might be at risk of aging and malfunctioning, I also prepared a speaker and microphone."
Then, he gestured to the side of the podium’s door.
Everyone could hear that the sound was now coming from this side.
While not as good as before, at least it was clear enough.
At this point, sharp-eyed individuals naturally saw clearly.
Someone had deliberately meddled, preventing Li Suying’s team from smoothly sharing.
Yet the person before everyone had, with a few words, not only made it clear but also piqued everyone’s interest.
Lu Jincheng strode forward, handed the working microphone to Guan Yongyi, and whispered close to her ear.
"Don’t worry about the audience, just finish what you prepared and show her how impressive you are."
Despite saying this, the short-haired girl felt her chest tighten, then something popped against her back.
Turns out the man hadn’t been idle.
Taking advantage of his position in a blind spot, he pulled her bra strap from behind, released it, and nearly startled her into losing composure.
But she couldn’t deny, the trick was quite effective.
Her nervousness vanished once more.
After finishing speaking, Lu Jincheng quickly jumped off the stage.
Gesturing to Gong Guanyu, indicating the two of them should guard the equipment together.
"Who are you, disturbing the venue order, I’m going to call security."
The staff reappeared on cue, saying loudly.
"You probably don’t know who I am, but whoever you’re working for, you better take it easy. Getting paid to eliminate someone’s troubles, it’s hard to say if that money can save you from trouble. If you keep affecting the forum’s normal sharing process, I’ll call the police with evidence right away."
More people came around backstage, not wanting to disrupt the order, Lu Jincheng acted first to avoid letting Li Suying speak.
People aren’t stupid, seeing things are spiraling beyond control with no solution.
So when someone needed a way out, Mr. Lu was happy to provide one.
"This is a feud between their teachers, you’ve done your best taking the money to block us, the rest is not your concern."
The staff said nothing more, looking at the computer, projector, and speakers, thinking the other party was so well-prepared, and if the patron pursued further, they’d have the explanation.
Directly withdrew with the people.
Guan Yongyi on stage was clearly not as composed as he was.
Being hit with such a sudden event, her mindset was messed up, speaking more blankly with no clear logic, becoming more nervous as she went on.
Seeing this, Lu Jincheng sighed softly, gauging Lin Lifeng’s expression in the guest seats, shaking his head.
Li Suying was also anxious but felt it inappropriate to personally go on stage due to her identity.
But Lu Jincheng could.
He suddenly produced another microphone from the back of his waistband and went on stage.
"Then I want to ask, why is strengthening Intellectual Property collaborative protection and resolving enterprise-related disputes crucial for boosting the innovation entity’s investment confidence?"
Only then did Guan Yongyi realize she had missed the key point, quickly explaining.
Lu Jincheng continued to ask: "Why did the Hang City Court find the violator’s actions constituted unfair competition based on violating the ’Unfair Competition Law’ Article 2?"
"As a business operator in the clothing industry, the infringer is in direct competition with [Tanhua Customization], with massive copying and pasting of Tanhua Customized Company’s clothing styles alongside relevant style numbers to attract traffic, the act crowded out Tanhua Customized Company’s trading opportunities, causing substantive harm to the company."
The two continued with a question-and-answer session, like a comic dialogue, "interestingly" discussing the paper’s content.
Although it broke with the previous plan, the result was better.
Guan Yongyi didn’t know why, but Lu Jincheng seemed to know every key point she was going to present.
Also unknown, having this man on stage gave her an enormous sense of security.
Nervousness completely vanished, inner peace increasing.
Next up were other members of the team.
First was Professor Li Suying.
Recalling the accident just now, Lu Jincheng kept pulling things out, much like Doraemon’s treasure box, life’s ups and downs, it was too stimulating.
Gong Guanyu’s expression was somewhat forlorn.
At the critical moment, with no place to exert strength, he didn’t help at all.
Liu Yingying had wide eyes, gazing at Lu Jincheng’s chiseled profile the entire time, smiling sweetly nonstop.
Amidst the continuous applause, all audience members smoothly listened to the paper presentation.
Very successful, completing it smoothly was a success.
During the following mentor Q&A session, Li Suying was also calm, after all, it was a project she painstakingly brought up herself.
"Xiao Lu, how did you do it?"
As the forum ended in the afternoon, everyone just exited the venue, surrounded Lu Jincheng all at once.
