At ten o'clock the next morning, Wen Haowen's press conference was held on time, and all the invited reporters were prestigious reporters in the media industry.
Wen Haowen sat on the podium, accompanied by several shareholders of the Wen Group. He wore a dark grey suit, a light blue shirt and a dark blue tie. He looked low-key and reserved, exuding a shrewd and capable aura.
The reporters kept taking pictures of Wen Haowen.
Because he was not willing to hold the press conference, even if Wen Haowen tried his best to endure it, his face still didn't look good. However, this kind of bad look, in the eyes of reporters, became proof of Wen Haowen's decadence and depression.
Wen Haowen endured the reporters' photography from all angles, listened to the discussions that were sometimes blatant and sometimes whispered, and the strange glances from everyone, and felt humiliated.
This was the first time he faced the media openly since the news of his cheating broke: "Thank you to all my journalist friends for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my press conference."
The reporters suddenly fell silent.
Wen Haowen continued, "In the past few days, the media has been vying to report that I had an extramarital affair with Yang Ziyu, a female employee of Wen's Group, and was caught in the act. This has caused the media and the public to question my character and morality. Also, because I had an extramarital affair with his wife Ning Shuqian, which caused my original wife to die prematurely, my image has been degraded and scumbag. I will give everyone an explanation at the press conference."
The reporters were excited and kept moving around the conference hall, taking pictures of Wen Haowen from various angles.
Wen Haowen was also desperate. It was embarrassing in the first place, so he might as well lay it all out, so he even mentioned Mo Yunyao: "I believe everyone knows that I have been married to my wife Ning Shuqian for more than ten years, and our relationship has always been very deep. But I never thought that she would use fake pregnancy to deal with my only daughter Wen Wenya, deceive me, and even the entire Wen family, and play the entire Wen family in the palm of her hand. This... I can't stand it at all, so I filed for a divorce."
This is a strategy of a soldier who suffers from a desperate situation, which completely puts oneself in the position of a victim.
Wen Haowen ignored the reporters' cameramen: "Ning Shuqian refused to sign the divorce agreement because she was dissatisfied with the divorce conditions. I was upset because of this, so I went to the bar to have a few drinks. Who would have thought that I would run into Yang Ziyu in the bar. She took the initiative to come up and talk to me. I drank two more glasses..."
The flash light flashed on his face. "The Wen family's investigation has confirmed that the cheating incident was completely planned by Yang Ziyu. Yang Ziyu followed me on the way to the bar after I left the company. She wanted to take advantage of the fact that I was in a bad mood due to the divorce with Ning Shuqian and take advantage of it."
The cause and effect of the matter have been explained clearly, and the reporters raised doubts: "Although both the media and the public know that Yang Ziyu plotted against you recently regarding your cheating, do you have any more powerful evidence to prove that all this was really just Yang Ziyu's calculation?"
Wen Haowen looked directly at the reporter and said, "It is impossible for everyone to dispel their doubts about my being cheated on because of my few words. I have a witness here who can prove that Yang Ziyu had intentions towards me."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
Then, under the flashing of everyone's flash cameras, a woman in a black dress walked timidly into the venue.
The woman was about the same age as Yang Ziyu. Compared to Yang Ziyu's charming face, she looked much more ordinary. She was very nervous when facing the reporters taking pictures: "Hello... everyone! I am Yang Ziyu's friend!"
Next, she talked about Yang Ziyu's private life and what she knew about Yang Ziyu's concern for Wen Haowen.
What she said was similar to the news dug up by the reporters, but the nature was different. Before it was physical evidence, now it was human evidence. With both physical and human evidence, Yang Ziyu's conspiracy against Wen Haowen was more convincing.
"President Wen, ever since you were exposed for cheating, you have been staying at the Wen family and have not left the house. You have even put down your work at the Wen Group. You have never come forward to explain the outside world's condemnation of you. May I ask... is this attitude of yours a manifestation of irresponsibility?"
Wen Haowen said calmly, "The Wen family has a very strict family tradition. My father, Mr. Wen Zhihang, has always been known for his decisiveness. How could he tolerate my cheating? He immediately used the family rules to whip me. In the past few days, I have been staying at the Wen family to recuperate, and it is not convenient for me to come forward to deal with the work of the Wen Group. At the same time, my father and I are actively investigating the truth about my cheating. There is no such thing as irresponsibility."
Then, a photo of Wen Haowen being whipped by Old Man Wen appeared on the big screen behind Wen Haowen, proving that what Wen Haowen said was not false. It also reflected the strict family tradition of the Wen family and implicitly refuted the rumors in the circle that the Wen family had a bad family tradition.
"President Wen, your scandal has caused the Wen's Group's stock to continue to fall. As of now, it has fallen below 700 points, setting a record high for Wen's Group's stock. It is rumored that the shareholders of Wen's Group's board of directors are quite dissatisfied with you, and there are even rumors of replacing the executive president. You suddenly came out to hold a press conference. Is it to deal with the series of dissatisfaction with you within the Wen's Group?"
Wen Haowen's face turned guilty. "Because of me, the reputation of the Wen family has been damaged, and the reputation of the Wen family circle has declined. The Wen family has lost face and the interests of the Wen Group have been damaged. I feel very guilty about this. I also hope that the shareholders will give me another chance so that I can make up for my mistakes and compensate for everyone's losses."
Wen Haowen's answer was impeccable. He answered the reporter's sharp questions neither softly nor harshly. He said that he apologized because of the reputation of the Wen family and the interests of the Wen Group, not purely for the position of executive president.
Wen Haowen's expression became sincere. "Although I did not intend to do this, it has caused a huge social impact. I want to say sorry to everyone. Because of this incident, the stock price of Wen's Group has plummeted, which has damaged the interests of all shareholders and caused a lot of losses to everyone. I am deeply sorry. I also assure everyone that the money you lost will be earned back sooner or later with interest."
Wen Haowen's words were sincere and heartfelt, causing quite a stir.
Wen Haowen continued, "More than two years ago, the Wen family invested in Ai Shang, and Ai Shang became a subsidiary of the Wen Group. After that, the Wen family vigorously reorganized Ai Shang, invested heavily in Ai Shang's product research and development, re-employed the original Ai Shang research group, added the world's best researchers, and introduced the most advanced equipment. It cost a huge amount of money and took more than two years. Our research and development products have reached perfection and will be launched on the market soon. Please pay more attention to the Wen family and Ai Shang."
Wen Haowen's words made all the reporters excited, as AiShang's product was about to be released.
This is definitely big news. Back then, the Wen family and the Xiao family were fighting each other, and the Xiao family made wedding dresses for the Wen family. Ai Shang has been immersed in it for two years, and now it is launched strongly. How could it not cause a sensation
