Chapter 567: Chapter 561: Just Love Watching Brother Fei Slap Faces

There are all kinds of comments on the Internet, but most of them are just waiting for the press conference to start. Many forward-thinking companies even use a large screen to broadcast such press conferences to their employees, showing high anticipation for Finn Lewis’ press conference.

In fact, even Finn had not expected such turn of events. It was just a few extra words at the press conference in the office. Could it get this big?

Regardless, the scheduled press conference still had to be held. As the time arrived, the press conference officially started. At Finn’s press conference there wasn’t much formal procedures, so after the introduction, Finn simply stepped onto the main stage. After tapping the microphone, he quickly said: “Welcome everyone to my press conference. The main purpose of this press conference is to announce some situations related to our company’s operation of Floral Island.”

“You should all know that we just experienced an earthquake near Floral Island. After our assessment, this earthquake differed from usual ones as it was due to a minor movement of the continental plate. Unlike previous earthquakes, there weren’t a series of aftershocks or incidents like volcanic eruptions. It seems like this earthquake was just a larger than usual shift during the earth’s rhythms, and then peace was restored.”

The reporters below let out a soft chuckle, but they didn’t interrupt Finn. They all were aware of Finn’s personality, and knew a big revelation was coming.

“So, generally speaking, Floral Island’s landscape has risen about 20 meters. After our tests, the accurate figure is 19.365 meters. Thankfully, the overall rising process was stable, otherwise my investment would have gone down the drain. Now, after our assessment, the infrastructure of Floral Island has not suffered any damage, including the strength of the buildings, etc, everyone need not worry.”

“Alright, now we can start the Q&A session. If you have any questions, don’t hold back. Today, I will tell you everything I know. I am not like the people who are secretive during press conferences.” Finn said with a smile.

With Finn’s words, the reporters immediately become focused, realizing the main agenda has arrived. All the reporters raised their hands. This was an opportunity to scoop up a big story. Finn quickly picked an arbitrary reporter who stood up and said loudly, “Mr. Lewis, you just said you will tell us everything you know, is that right?”

“Yes.” Finn nodded.

That person then asked about the specific relationship between Finn and Kay Lee.

Finn straightway looked at him and said, “Before Kay Lee, I have had more than one girlfriend, so if I say I have only one woman, not only would you not believe me, even I wouldn’t believe that myself. As for how many girlfriends I’ve had, I am not going to disclose that. But Kay Lee is my future wife. We’ve already met each other’s parents, and we will probably get married soon, so whether it’s my full-time female secretary or the stewardesses on my private plane, you can go investigate it, I have no relationship with them.”

Finn’s words were decisive and without any hesitation. After he finished, there was a pause in the audience. Truth be told, no one expected Finn would address this question so directly. After his declaration, the audience burst into applause, and a reporter shouted out words of approval.

Watching the enthusiastic reaction from the crowd, Finn remained calm and after the applause died down, he spoke again in a resigned tone, “This reporter friend, your question has been answered. Now you can sit down. However, I still hope that everyone can ask about matters related to this incident and the theme of this press conference. Otherwise, don’t you think the atmosphere changed as soon as this reporter friend’s question came up? I thought I was attending a press conference about my personal affairs.”

There was a wave of good-natured laughter from below, and the internet was flooded with many users posting long strings of “666666666666666”. Many netizens laughed and said, this tabloid reporter is now famous, but who knows if he’ll get a promotion and a pay raise, become a CEO, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of his life when he returns.

Soon everyone raised their hands again, and Finn directly pointed at another reporter. Finn had learned his lesson this time and only chose reporters with their media logos on their microphones. He was not going to randomly select those who simply held a microphone. Who knows if they were some third-rate tabloid reporters.

If these were just the first wave of sensations among these reporters, the ones who could benefit from the network, and who had experienced the speed of the network that was equivalent to a hundred-megabit fiber optic cable, many reporters directly started broadcasting live to their media companies through the internet, and the current situation of Floral Island was transmitted to people around the world through various media.

Leaving aside the magnificent airport for now, there were clear artificial structures under the water surface that were supposed to be submerged. There were some cabin doors on them, but they were sealed since they used to be underwater. However, it wasn’t clear what these underground structures were. But what was sure was that there were underground buildings here, and the buildings hadn’t ended at the current sea surface level yet.

No one knew how deep it went to the sea bottom. On the other hand, some people began to test the depth of the Lagoon Expanse, which now only had about 100 square kilometers of water. The depth test was not difficult, and soon all news outlets obtained a data, which said that the current depth of water in the lagoon was about 30 meters, and at high tide, it could reach 32 meters.

In fact, it didn’t matter because the lagoon could accommodate vessels of any size, as long as the depth exceeded 20 meters and there were no hidden reefs at the bottom. Unless someone could build a ship with a draft exceeding 25 meters. Such a vessel would surely exceed people’s imagination in terms of size.

However, looking at the current situation, apart from the longest side of the island becoming an airport, there were ports and docks on the remaining two sides, but there weren’t many facilities on land near the ports and docks.
