《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 142 - Clarification At The Press Conference
Advertisement
"What evidence do you have?"
Li Zhuo assumed a stance of confronting Wu Mei to gain the trust of the shareholders. He shouted loudly, as if refusing to admit it no matter what.
Wu Mei couldn't be bothered to argue with him. She walked to the computer control desk and typed in a code. She successfully hacked into the backend of the stock market and pulled out a few accounts that had recently purchased Li Corporation's shares. At the same time, she projected the content onto the large screen. The shareholders quietly watched her rapid actions, feeling somewhat at a loss.
"Everyone, take a good look. These few accounts have bought a huge amount of Li Corporation shares at a low price in the past three days."
"I'm sure you guys are not familiar with the creator of these accounts, but I can introduce them to everyone. These accounts are registered with the genuine information of Li Zhuo's wife, his assistant, his son, and the other collateral branches of the Li family!"
One after another, conclusive evidence was flashed to the shareholders, causing an uproar.
Li Zhuo did not expect Wu Mei to be able to get her hand on these things and expose his lie. He gritted his teeth in anger but forced out an explanation, "I'm doing this to increase the share prices of the Li Corporation, so as to save the Li Corporation. How can you..."
"If you really want to increase the share prices, shouldn't you announce that Li Nanchen from the Li Corporation is still alive?"
After Wu Mei finished speaking, Li Nanchen walked to her side under the gazes of countless people.
Dressed in a tailored suit, he nodded to the camera indifferently as usual. Other than his face being a little pale, there was no issue with him at all!

The live broadcast of the press conference instantly blew up on many of the mainstream media in City B and was widely reposted and disseminated by the netizens. In an instant, the phrase "Li Nanchen is not dead" soared to the top of the major charts. As a result, the Li Corporation's share prices soared and even rose to the limit.
The shareholders shouted Li Nanchen's name excitedly. However, when they recalled Li Zhuo's words, they could not help but berate him for his lies.
"Li Zhuo, return our shares!"
"Liar, get out of the Li Corporation! This is fraudulent behavior. We want to report it to the relevant departments and sue him!"
Li Zhuo's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly pretended to be troubled and said, "I'm sorry."
"I admit that I lied to the shareholders because I didn't dare to announce the news about Nanchen rashly. I was afraid that it would affect your plan..."
"The Li Corporation was able to achieve its current scale in City B by relying on the prestige accumulated from previous presidents. The shareholders feel reassured to hand their entire net worth to the Li Corporation for growth, so that we can reap profits for them."
"As part of the company's management, I could only think of this method to temporarily stabilize them for you. I didn't expect to do something wrong."
Wu Mei was furious at Li Zhuo's words which implied that Li Nanchen was irresponsible and untrustworthy. She apologized sincerely to the shareholders on Li Nanchen's behalf and said, "Previously, the Li Corporation and Li Nanchen were threatened by an overseas organization and his life was in danger."
"Li Nanchen did almost die in that explosion, but he was lucky enough to survive."
"Considering the viciousness of the overseas organization, we had no choice but to think of this method to confuse them. We really couldn't explain it to the public in advance. Li Nanchen has always been thinking for the shareholders and consumers. This move is also to let the Li Corporation develop better in the future."

"Only by eliminating all potential crises can we give shareholders a more stable future!"
Wu Mei's words made the shareholders imagine the dangerous scene at that time. They lamented that it had been extremely difficult for Li Nanchen to appear and manage the situation so quickly. While they were feeling exceptionally touched, the share price of the Li Corporation also gradually rose, ushering in a new high.
Li Zhuo did not expect them to calm the chaos so quickly. He could only stand quietly by the side and pretend that nothing had happened.
Wu Mei sneered as she watched him continue to pretend to be a peace-loving gentleman. Her heart swelled with disgust.
Li Nanchen leaned towards him and pretended to be unsteady on his feet. Propping his hand on the table, he pointed at the chair in the distance and said, "Could I trouble you to move the chair to behind the President's seat? Thank you."
Li Zhuo was stunned for a while before he realized that Li Nanchen was talking to him. He could only clench his teeth and reluctantly move the chair over...
With Wu Mei supporting him, Li Nanchen sat in the President's seat.. Facing the reporters' questions, he calmly answered them and continued with the press conference.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
