Chapter 340
The live stream’s popularity was skyrocketing, soaring from half a million viewers to well over a million, and it was still climbing.
Herman was the face of Elysian Technologies, the company’s poster boy. This was a fact that was well recognized. Even Collin, who had once teased Herman, agreed that if Herman was willing to use his charm, Elysian Technologies could reach new heights. If Elysian Technologies ventured into women’s skincare products, and Herman was to promote them, they would definitely sell out in a heartbeat.
Two types of people were easy to make money from: women and children. Women controlled the purse strings of households and, by extension, the economy. And Herman, he had the potential to tap into that.
Gianna was also in the live stream. Unable to attend the event in person, she was content to watch from afar. Watching Herman on stage and seeing how popular he was, Gianna felt a sense of joy for him. Every move he made and every word he spoke kept Gianna’s attention firmly on him.
“Gianna, could you fetch the scissors for me?” Cynthia called several times. Gianna was sitting on the couch, engrossed with her phone, and didn’t budge. Intrigued, Cynthia went over and saw Gianna staring at a man on her phone screen. Cynthia found him familiar, “Isn’t that Anastasia’s husband? Is he in a talent show?” Cynthia was unaware of Herman’s true identity. Seeing him in a suit and tie, looking handsome and eloquent on stage, she assumed he was participating in some sort of reality show.

Gianna corrected her, “He’s the CEO of Elysian Technologies. Today is their anniversary celebration and he’s giving the speech. It’s not a talent show.”
“Elysian Technologies?” Cynthia gasped, “The company that ranks among the top in the world’s wealth list?”
“Yes.” Gianna replied, smiling, “Mom, look, isn’t Herman handsome? He’s only thirty. In just a few short years, he’s turned Elysian Technologies into a leading corporation both domestically and internationally.”
“Oh my, Anastasia really hit the jackpot. She’s married into a wealthy family.” Cynthia exclaimed, “I didn’t see it before. I just thought he was handsome, but he’s actually quite influential. How come your aunt and Anastasia never told us about this? Are they afraid we might try to climb the social ladder?”
The revelation of Herman’s identity left Cynthia feeling less superior, even a bit envious. People were like that. They could wish you well, but they certainly didn’t want to actually see you doing better than them.
Gianna didn’t bother to explain, instead, she said rather bitterly, “Anastasia is indeed lucky. Herman is the man every woman dreams of marrying, yet he chose her.”
Cynthia sneered, “Well, what’s so great about Anastasia? Apart from being somewhat pretty. You’re pretty as well. It’s just bad luck that you ended up -with Joey. If you could marry a man like Herman, you’d have no more worries. You always compare yourself to Anastasia, but in the end, you’re still
lagging behind.”
Cynthia’s words were like a thorn, pricking painfully at Gianna’s heart.
Back at the anniversary celebration.

Herman had introduced Elysian Technologies and summarized the company’s achievements for the year. Then it was time for the final part of the event introducing Anastasia.
Herman glanced at Anastasia backstage. His previously serious expression softened instantly. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, setting off a frenzy in the live chat. Herman’s smile was lethal.
The live stream viewers were constantly being struck by his devastating charm his side profile, his smile, even the slight furrow of his brows was captivating. There was a saying, ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. It certainly held true in this case.
Herman looked back at the audience, his voice clear and resonant, “Today, I want to introduce to you all, the most important person in my life.”
Backstage, Grannie Anita, watching the live stream, hurried towards the banquet hall. Katelyn, knowing what her mother was up to, rushed forward to stop her, “Mom, you can’t mess this up. Today is a big day for Elysian Technologies. It’s being live streamed. If anything goes wrong, it’s the Salstrom family’s reputation at stake.”
“If I don’t go now, Herman will announce that woman’s identity to everyone. It’ll be the Salstrom family’s reputation that’s really ruined.” Grannie Anita said. While the two argued, Herman had already finished his introduction in the banquet hall, “My wife, Anastasia.”
