Jiangning.
Qin Fengwu was sitting in his office, and the computer screen was showing live footage of a press conference.
When he heard the reporter ask such a question, his face darkened, and he cursed, "Idiot, who put you up to this?"
Qin Fengwu still considered Yu Mengzhi his target. Few women could be compared to Yu Mengzhi, and he was unwilling to marry into the families of those old clans. Not only did they have their own flaws, but they also loved to interfere in his private life.
Now that this reporter had revealed the relationship between Yu Mengzhi and Chen Jinshao, Qin Fengwu was furious.
He immediately made a phone call and said to the person on the other end, "Did you watch the press conference? I don't want to see this reporter again. You know what to do."
"Master, as far as I know, this reporter seems to be from the Su family in Jiangnan," the person on the other end said.
Qin Fengwu's eyebrows twitched.
This matter was actually related to the Su family?
After a moment of thought, Qin Fengwu said indifferently, "Do as I said, and don't worry about anything else."
He hung up the phone.
Qin Fengwu was still somewhat displeased with the Su family.
He had visited the Su family before, but it wasn't as if he couldn't do without them. For the sake of a mere reporter, the Su family wouldn't fall out with him. Besides, didn't he, Qin Fengwu, have his pride?
"What an idiot!" he cursed again.
"However, Yu Mengzhi's performance exceeded my expectations. She will likely resolve this crisis. It's a pity for me, otherwise, I could have given her a great gift at Gouchen Group's most critical moment."
After saying this, Qin Fengwu stared at the screen, waiting for Yu Mengzhi's next move.
At that time.
Yu Huaixuan and Su Jian were also staring at the computer screen.
Su Jian sneered, "Next, I'll change the public's opinion and focus on portraying Yu Mengzhi as too promiscuous, sleeping with anyone and everyone."
"Exactly, such a despicable woman deserves to be scorned by everyone," Yu Huaixuan agreed.
The atmosphere at the scene also became extremely strange.
Pairs of eyes looked at Yu Mengzhi, putting immense pressure on her. These gazes held confusion, amusement, and disdain.
The audience below also began to whisper amongst themselves.
Chen Jinshao frowned, hesitating whether to step forward and explain the situation.
Tao Qiyue was also watching Yu Mengzhi, wanting to see how this CEO would explain this matter to the public. Based on her understanding of Yu Mengzhi, she would likely neither directly admit nor deny it, as it was a matter of private life, and the public had no reason to dwell on it.
Amidst the murmurs, Yu Mengzhi patted the microphone, signaling that she was about to speak.
The audience gradually quieted down.
Yu Mengzhi, who had gathered everyone's attention, gradually calmed down. If it were before, she might have appeared extremely embarrassed, but since getting together with Chen Jinshao, some of her views had changed.
"Regarding the question raised by this media friend, I originally did not intend to respond, as it is my private matter. However, seeing everyone's concern, I will make a brief statement here: the security guard mentioned by this media friend who is close to me is indeed my boyfriend, and his name is Chen Jinshao." Yu Mengzhi's calm words caused another stir in the crowd.
The question that should have caused a storm was so easily dismissed?
Jiangning.
In Qin Fengwu's office.
His face was so dark it could almost drip water. Yu Mengzhi's public announcement of her relationship with Chen Jinshao meant that Qin Fengwu had completely lost the chance to be with her.
Angered, Qin Fengwu directly shut down the computer.
"Chen Jinshao..."
"Who exactly are you, to make the woman I like fall head over heels for you? Is it him?" Qin Fengwu already had a guess in his heart, but he hadn't fully confirmed it yet.
At the scene.
Everyone looked surprised. No one expected Yu Mengzhi to admit it so frankly.
Even Tao Qiyue had not anticipated this.
Before the reporter could speak, Yu Mengzhi said again, "To this media friend, I know you want to ask why I would date a security guard. If that's truly what you think, then it's too disappointing. I think my boyfriend is perfect in every way. If you bless me, I will be grateful. They say labor is the most glorious, and no job is superior or inferior to another. If you think a security guard is not good enough for me, it means you subconsciously look down on the common people living at the bottom of society."
"Is that what you mean?"
The reporter was left stuttering. Of course, he couldn't admit it, otherwise, his journalism career would be over.
But anyone with eyes could see that this was the reporter's intention.
On the live streaming platforms on the internet, the reporter was being condemned for disrespecting the vast majority of people at the bottom of society, not realizing that this country was built on the contributions of these very people.
"Do you have any more questions?" Yu Mengzhi asked.
Her tone was clearly gentle, yet it possessed a sharp edge that pierced through the darkness in their hearts!
The reporter was sweating profusely, constantly wiping away the cold sweat. His legs trembling, he said, "I... I have no more questions."
Yu Mengzhi then turned to others, "What about the rest of you?"
There were no more questions.
This press conference received an extremely positive response, leading more and more people to believe that Gouchen Group was also a victim. Furthermore, Gouchen Group never shied away from any responsibility and even bravely undertook the resulting economic compensation, winning many people's favor. At the end of the day, even if the drugs were indeed due to negligence in the production process, in the eyes of the public, it had nothing to do with Yu Mengzhi.
In summary, Yu Mengzhi delivered a perfect performance at this press conference.
Tao Qiyue looked deeply at Yu Mengzhi and then let out a quiet sigh. She knew that some things were becoming increasingly distant from her.
Never mind.
It was all just a reflection in the mirror, and she had to face reality eventually.
Chen Jinshao was waiting for Yu Mengzhi at the foot of the stage. Yu Mengzhi smiled and said, "How was it? Was my answer acceptable?"
She was now like a child who had achieved a good grade and was seeking encouragement from her parents.
Chen Jinshao took out a tissue and gently wiped the sweat from Yu Mengzhi's forehead. He said softly, "Very good. I've been watching the comments on the major news live streams. They've gradually shifted from unanimous criticism to harmony, and many people are cheering you on, urging you to uncover the truth soon."
"Really?" Yu Mengzhi exclaimed with joy.
"That's great! But this is also thanks to your suggestion. Otherwise, Gouchen Group would still be at the center of public criticism."
Chen Jinshao said with a faint smile, "You just need to manage the group's affairs. The rest will be handled by specialized personnel. If I'm not mistaken, someone is probably jumping with anxiety right now."
In an office in the opposite office building, Yu Huaixuan was indeed jumping with anxiety.
He never expected Yu Mengzhi to turn the tables and directly reverse public opinion. How could an entrepreneur who cared about the hardworking masses at the bottom of society do something harmful?
She had transformed from a minus point into a plus point!
Su Jian dared not even breathe and asked Yu Huaixuan what to do next. Yu Huaixuan said fiercely, "Naturally, we will continue to escalate the matter. The public is so lenient towards Gouchen Group now simply because not enough people have died. You should do the same and continue to let patients who have taken drugs produced by Gouchen die. This time, kill more people."
"If ten deaths aren't enough, then let there be twenty, thirty!"
