It seemed he had sensed what the audience was thinking.
"You sound an awful lot like a president. I heard that people at the Helrom Broadcasting Company have already started discussing whether you'll run for president next year..."
Leola raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly as she temporarily cut Luo Qi off.
"Are you going to run for president?"
She asked with great interest.
Her sudden question seemed to hang in the air, making every audience member hold their breath.
Meanwhile, Cat Boss, which had been pretending to be an ordinary cat in Lanchi's arms, was so frightened that it nearly jumped up!
If Lanchi really became president of the Protos Empire, then Cat Boss would never dare see Hugh Treasure again for the rest of its life!
He had become a principal, a Holy Son, and a governor. Cat Boss had gradually grown numb to all of it.
But becoming president, becoming the leader of the empire—that was something Cat Boss simply couldn't accept!
Faced with this question, which carried both a hint of joking and a touch of seriousness,
Lanchi pondered for a moment, a thoughtful glimmer passing through his emerald eyes.
"Probably not, but I really am tired of seeing Protos get cheated."
He spoke in a firm voice, though there was an unintentional note of helplessness in it.
"Why don't you want to run?"
Leola asked again.
"I just don't have any intention of running for president. I love what I'm doing now. I really do."
Lanchi explained.
"Maybe if you had a little more ambition... there wouldn't be a woman in this world who could keep up with you? You still want to leave a little time and space in your life for the people around you, right?"
Leola's words drew a round of laughter
