And he… He probably would have never be able to get out of the shadow. He probably could never move his pen again.
"No words could describe what I am feeling right now. I am more than happy, ecstatic, grateful… I hope that everyone who came here will see and feel the unforgettable dream I had when I was young. This is a world where all imagination intertwine. This is ArtWorld. A world where you can craft your own art, your own design. For me, Fun is Art. Thus, I call it ArtWorld."
The crowd clapped from the emotional speech of Mr. Bang.
Xiong Gaiyu then introduced the president of IHZHI, Fang Dien. The crowd watched as a highly attractive and enchanting man walked up the stage. He was not handsome, that was not the right word to describe him—he was an alluring beauty!
The ignorant audience and netizens were awestruck that the president of the company behind ArtWorld, an incredibly huge project, was actually a young man. What was more, he was a true beauty, with fox-like charm! He was definitely a s.e.xy and bewitching shou material!
Instantly, the female audience (both straight and fujoshi) cheered, fascinated by the teardrop mole of Fang Dien when the camera zoomed in.
Fang Dien first thanked all the people who supported ArtWorld. He introduced the major investors, the eight investors Xiong Zhi had made a deal with, and Old Xiong, who handed the project to IHZHI.
Then he looked straight at the camera. His enchanting eyes narrowed into a smile as he casually dropped a bomb.
"And finally, all of this would not happen without the full support of the person behind making ArtWorld into a reality. Please welcome the founder and owner of IZHI, Miss Xiong Zhi."
The media who was busily flashing their cameras and taking notes were stunned.
Xiong Zhi? The heiress of Xiong family?
She was not one of the guests, but the owner?!
The representative of the powerhouses were taken aback as well.
The master behind all of this was the Young Miss of Xiong family? But IZHI started several years ago and… didn't she just turn into an a.d.u.l.t recently?
They could not truly believe what they had heard. Nevertheless, they clapped amidst their confusion.
If it was true… if they were not hearing things… Then this was yet again another huge scoop!
The media finally woke up and moved like they were injected with chicken blood.
Xiong Zhi went up under the flashes of the camera, faced the audience, and thanked everyone with an aloof and graceful smile.
The netizens sighed again. Yet another stunning beauty. Did IZHI accept people based on their face?
"I am truly happy that all of us witness this memorable event."
"ArtWorld is special for me—" She glanced at Mr. Bang and nodded,"—not only because it is a challenge to create it, but most importantly…" Her eyes moved to the tall and dashing person sitting by the second row. "It is my personal indicator, a symbol that in this world, with my own hands, I can change the course of something that is initially predestined to happen."
Perhaps, because of Mr. Bang's emotional speech, Xiong Zhi could not help but share her real feelings towards ArtWorld.
Thus, her words had become much longer. Her flawless and almost expressionless face seemed distant, as if in nostalgia.
"ArtWorld, such a beautiful and idealistic world, is said to be impossible to make and was about to fade into nothing. I wanted to change that with my own hands. I wanted to know the extent of what I can do with the limited conditions I had." Her cool and low voice sounded very soothing yet hair-raising for some reason.
"And I did it, with everyone's help. Thus, ArtWorld is a proof… that what you think is impossible, in fact, could actually be possible if you don't give up, strategize well, and smartly use whatever way you have. You can change you own destiny with your own hands. You can create a world of your own.
"I hope that people coming to ArtWorld can replace their bad memories with good ones. I hope you unload the stress off your shoulders and gain more strength to move on in life. I hope everyone will find happiness in the little fun things in life. ArtWorld is here precisely for that. "
ArtWorld never existed in Xiong Zhi's previous lifetime.
Yet ArtWorld was standing here now. How could this certain place that was not part of the course of destiny not help change people's lives?
Xiong Zhi believed that butterfly effect must be true in some sense. What they had built today could change the world's initial fate.
And someday too, her fate and Linfeng's fate would diverge from the predestined ending as well. They would not die on the rough, hard ground of the road, or get soaked in cold rain until their breathing stopped.
They would build memories here that never existed in the past.
They would marry each other, have kids, and play here with the little ones.
They would have a happy ending through longevity, not a tragic one.
Yes, they could change their fate. It was real. She could really change the future.
The people was quite confused by her speech, but they felt it was powerful and meaningful.
What was more, the determined eyes of the beautiful young lady standing over them made them feel convinced of her words. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/to-love-you-again_15549809506927505/changing-one's-fate_50768091654705281 for visiting.
…But the most affected of them all was the man on the second row.
For some reason, while he was feeling moved by her words, his heart suddenly throbbed with heartache and relief. His heart felt astringent, and his eyes soured as well. He could not explain it, but there was a strange and overpowering feeling welling up in his chest, which made him confused.
Linfeng quickly wiped the lone tear that escaped from his eyes. Eh?
He looked at the slightly wet finger of his in surprise. It had been a long time since he cried for no reason. Although he was touched, but there was no reason to cry, especially an a.d.u.l.t man like him.
Despite his confusion, he pressed down the sudden emotions in his chest, threw it at the back of his mind, and returned his focus on his Young Miss, his girlfriend, in front.
