After informing Luze of the time for the press conference, Muchen stopped speaking to him. Of course, Luze would not contact him either.

The next evening at six o'clock, Liang Xiao personally went to Mu Chen's house to pick him up.

About ten minutes before leaving the venue, the car arrived at Xingyu Company.

As soon as the car stopped, the waiting reporters gathered around, their camera flashes incessantly blinking, almost blinding people's eyes.

The press conference had not yet started, and the journalists who wanted to get first-hand news began to swarm around Muchen, asking questions.

"Muchen, may I ask if it's true or false that you spent the night with a male artist at a hotel? Did nothing really happen between the two of you that night?"

"May I ask if today's press conference is for the purpose of clarifying rumors? How are you going to prove to everyone that the previously leaked video is not true?"

Sorry, but without the actual Chinese text to translate, I'm unable to assist. Could you please provide the paragraph you would like me to translate?

The series of questions thrown by the reporter set off a fiery anger deep within Mu Chen's heart, rapidly burning like a small flame on the verge of eruption.

Mu Chen felt that the company's decision to hold this press conference was a mistake. The statement has already been issued, and these journalists, in order to have news to report and attract attention, can twist white into black. Even if Luo Ze is brought in to explain today, it may not be useful. It would be better to have Luo Ze post a Weibo instead.

"I apologize to the journalists present, it is inconvenient for Mu Chen to answer your questions at this moment. The press conference is about to begin, and Mu Chen will answer your questions one by one later at the conference venue," Liang Xiao explained, helping Mu Chen navigate the situation.

Mu Chen arrived at the first floor venue smoothly under the escort of Liang Xiao and a few security personnel.

The first floor of Xingyu Company was originally an exhibition hall, used for promoting the company's artists. Now, half of it has been cleared out to serve as a venue for press conferences.

Along with the journalist who had just intercepted Muru Chen outside the door, there were nearly a hundred reporters and cameramen at the scene.

As soon as Mu Chen arrived at the venue, everyone's attention and camera lenses were focused on him. He followed behind Liang Xiao and went to the podium.

Sitting at the podium, Mu Chen looked down at the crowded reporters in the audience but did not see Lu Ze's figure.

Will Lu Ze stand him up? Originally, Mu Chen was worried about this, but after arriving at the scene and seeing the situation, listening to the reporters' questions, Mu Chen suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether Lu Ze came or not. The media was going to sensationalize the topic of him spending the night with a man to attract attention, so explanations probably wouldn't have much effect.

As long as he clarifies the situation unilaterally, it doesn't matter whether people outside choose to listen or not. Eventually, the onlookers will lose interest over time.

In the entertainment industry, there are so many scandals every day, but no one would hold a grudge against him.

Seeing that Lu Ze hadn't arrived yet, Mu Chen took out his phone and opened WeChat. He clicked on Lu Ze's name, preparing to send a message. If he couldn't come, he would tell him not to come.

As soon as he finished typing the characters, before he could even send them out, his phone vibrated. Lu Ze had sent him a message first.

Lu Ze: "I have arrived."

Mu Chen hurriedly raised his head, and at this moment, Lu Ze was standing behind a row of cameras beside the venue. He had an expressionless face as he looked directly at him.

Yusi Mochen deleted the previously typed content in the chat box and sent a new message to Luze, saying, "Why aren't you coming up?"

After sending the message, she looked up at Lu Ze and saw him staring at his phone. After a dozen seconds or so, Lu Ze's reply came through.

Lu Ze: "I came all the way for you, and you want me to just walk up like this?"

Mu Chen gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Ze before his gaze fell upon the microphone in front of him.

So, with a smile, he picked up the microphone and turned it on, getting up from his seat. "Please welcome Mr. Lu Ze to the stage."
