Chapter 587 - Surprise

At 09.30, around fifty special media and 200 invited guests had entered the venue.

The reception room on the top floor of the Convention and Exhibition Center is filled with seats. At the same time, there are also real-time broadcasting stations in open spaces on both sides as the event will be broadcast live on the web simultaneously.

The emcee is the director of operations and CEO of the Van brand. When she appeared on stage to represent her company, she received a great applause.

"Hello everyone, my name is Maria, thank you for coming to the press conference held for the brand ambassador for the Van brand..."

Maria is twenty-six years old this year. When she joined the Van brand, she was an intern in the marketing department.

In the last few years, she's been working hard to become CEO. She is quite resilient and attractive enough that she's finally successful in achieving it.

However, among the audiences who were smiling at this moment, Kenny stared deeply at Maria.

President Jean had explained beforehand and asked him to work with the Van brand to make preparations for this press conference.

In just two days, Kenny could not take his eyes off her.

If the marketing manager chased an extraordinary career woman before, then Maria was a captivating career queen.

With her opening the event, more people got to know the CEO of the Van Brand.

At the same time, it also made everyone look forward to the appearance of the spokesperson.

At the press conference venue, an LED screen was embedded in the background wall and a large black curtain was hung at both its sides.

The shadows start to glow and the background image within can be seen vaguely, which is not quite clear, but makes the guests even more curious.

After Maria finished her speech, she turned slightly to the side and looked at the audience. "Next, I invite Mr. Alex, founder and chief designer of the Van brand, to give a speech."

Waves of applause thundered and echoed throughout the room.

Alex slowly stepped onto the stage in a formal light gray couture suit, with a black shirt and a square scarf of the same color in the outer pocket.

All of the guests present looked at him, and their impression of Alex was that of a delicate and eye-catching designer.

Nowadays, it was extremely rare for him to attend an event wearing such formal attire.

Alex took the microphone from Maria and stood at the front of the stage. The lighting crew immediately focused the light on him and revealed his handsome and extraordinary figure.

"Thanks for coming, I'm Alex Vander."

After a brief self-introduction, he began to briefly explain the history and philosophy of the brand, which seemed to be very important and everyone listened attentively.

This was enough to make everyone know that the person standing before them wasn't just anybody.

Otherwise, the two important figures of the Van brand would not appear one by one only to pave the way for the ambassador's press conference.

In about ten minutes, Alex's speech finally ended.

He turned around slightly with the microphone and glanced at the blocked LED screen. "I'm sure you must be very curious about the person of today's press conference. Next, let me introduce you to the only permanent global ambassador for the Van brand…"

"The international supermodel, Ms. LILIA!"

Perhaps it was because the tone earlier was so nerve-racking that when Alex personally announced Lilia's identity, everyone on the scene did not react.

Many people remembered what Alex just said— Permanently serving as the only global ambassador for the Van brand ...

At this moment, there were people clapping from nowhere, and one by one, the whole room started following.

In the first row near the door, sat a middle-aged man about 50 years old.

He was wearing a dark brown suit and had a casual posture. His square face looks a little serious and his eyebrows are slightly thick.

This person is the president of the Aphrodite Agency, Albert.

As Alex's voice ended, the curtain behind him immediately fell.

A photo of Lilia then appeared on the screen, and a line of letters came out from the side that read 'The only global ambassador.'

At this time, the media boss sitting next to Albert couldn't help but look jealous, he clapped his hands and sighed. "Mr. Albert, congratulations, I never thought that the ambassador this time would be Lilia. The Aphrodite Agency is truly extraordinary. How much does the Van brand endorsement cost?"

Van is a well-known international brand, so of course the price offered is certainly not low.

Aphrodite has made a lot of money again, it's amazing!

But this subtle jealousy that others confessed to him did not get a positive response from Albert.

He just lowered his head politely, and said no exaggerated words. The man only pursed his lips during the process.

He just returned to Indonesia yesterday and rushed over to the conference this morning when he received an invitation.

However, he just found out that Lilia was announced as the global ambassador.

Didn't she leave the stage to recuperate?

After returning to the company to start a 'business', why did nobody tell him about this?!

This must be Harold's doing! That bastard...!

Albert accidentally took out his cell phone and started editing the message while making sure no one was paying attention.

When the big screen in the venue is opened, the LED screen outside the building and the advertising image also instantly changes.

On this day, in the tallest landmark building in Surabaya, everyone can see a photo of Lilia. And they're discussing how valuable it is to be the only ambassador for the Van brand in this world!

When Lilia entered the scene, everyone couldn't take their eyes off her.

The mercury gray dress, the retro design of the neckline on the front, and the shining starlight as she walked, absolutely caught everyone's attention.

The media raced to flicker their camera's shutter, along with the entertainment journalists, who seemed pretty much eager to get their best shot.

The supermodel, who'd previously said would leave her job a month ago, was back in the public eye and became a global ambassador for a well-known fashion brand.

Her face looked rosy and her body slender, so when she went up to the stage in her skirt, her figure looked graceful and polite.

In front of the stage, many people paid attention to her.

Lilia sat up, took the microphone and her voice was clear as she said, "Hello everyone, I'm the ambassador for the Van brand, Lilia!"

At the same time, this sentence also went through the minds of everyone watching from the live stream.

In less than ten minutes, three popular searches broke the internet.

#The return of the beautiful supermodel Lilia! #

#The only ambassador for the Van brand in the world is Lilia! #

#Amazing breakthrough from supermodel Lilia! #

Standing on the stage, Lilia glanced at the audience one by one, and finally fixed on a man in the middle.

The stars fell in her eyes as she caught him smiling at her, triggering a beautiful smile to bloom in her face. "I am honored to be the ambassador for the Van brand. Thanks to Mr. Alex for entrusting me with this position. I will continue to contribute to the Van brand both at home and abroad."

"Some time ago, I had to leave to recuperate due to medical reasons. Even though I came back in this extraordinary way, I hope I don't surprise everyone," she said, ending her sentence with another smile.

"This time, I also want to thank everyone for taking their time to come and join this glorious moment. I also thank my family, friends, and my agent for their tolerance and concern."

"Lastly, I also want to thank someone who accompanied me from beginning to end of my healing process. Thank you to my husband, Jean Widjaya!"

At this time, Albert was frowning hard among the lines of the audience. 

Lilia thanked everyone but she didn't thank him nor the Aphrodite Agency.
