The media meeting originally scheduled for 2:30 was postponed until 4:00 pm. The media hall, which can accommodate a hundred people, was full of seats. Yan Liang opened the door and walked in. As far as the eye could see, there were all the reporters who had already waited impatiently but were still standing there.
In order to avoid unnecessary commotion, Yanliang only stood at the exit at the end of the media hall, and did not go in. Because I had received the news before: Xu Jinfu and Xu Ziqing went to the media hall together after talking alone in the president's office for nearly an hour.
Sure enough, after a while, Yan Liang saw Xu's press spokesman walking up to the front stage from the backstage.
In an instant, the spotlight flashed non-stop, and the sound of the crackling shutter resounded throughout the space.
According to the results of the shareholders' show of hands, after the spokesperson made a brief statement, Xu Ziqing would appear and take all the responsibilities.
The actual situation made her disappointed: after the spokesperson read out the speech, it was not Xu Ziqing who walked up to the stage—
Xu Jinfu came onto the stage leaning on crutches himself.
Even with crutches, Xu Jinfu can still feel that Xu Jinfu's steps are slow. The elite of the past is just a very old man at this moment, but his majesty is still there. The minute he walked slowly onto the stage, the hall was as quiet as no one.
Xu Jinfu glanced at the audience, paused before speaking: "Friends from the media. Good afternoon."
These words were exactly the same as the opening remarks of the previous spokesperson. The reporters had waited for so long, but not to hear such high-sounding speeches. Naturally, dissatisfaction was written all over their faces.
The expressions of the reporters were different, some were urgent, some were mocking, and some were serious. In contrast, Xu Jinfu on the stage was always calm and composed: "The scandal about slandering my beloved daughter Xu Ziqing is really non-existent. I hereby sternly refute it."
A reporter stood up impatiently. Seeing this, the security guard at the side was about to step forward and push the reporter back into his chair. Xu Jinfu shook his head to signal the security guard not to act rashly.
And when the security guard returned to his original position, the reporter's voice rang out: "What about the scandal about Yayan? The victim has submitted the materials to the judiciary, and the evidence has been released. This cannot be a false rumor. Bar?"
Xu Jinfu seemed to have expected that the reporter would ask such a question, and quickly gave a well-thought-out answer: "This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated before we can draw a conclusion. Before that, I will not express any views on Yayan's allergy. I would also like to invite friends from the media circles not to speculate at will. I believe that we will give a satisfactory answer to all walks of life soon."
Xu Jinfu's rogue demeanor, which he refused to admit, has actually disgraced Xu's face. Yan Liang stood by the door - this position where she could stay out of the matter, like watching a joke, while her father seemed to have become a clown.
Even if he is the chairman, but as the representative of the shareholders' interests, his every move at this moment is against the wishes of the shareholders. If the shareholders are completely disappointed, how long will he keep his position as the chairman
For Xu Ziqing, is it worth it
Yan Liang found that she was able to calmly accept her father's unfailing favoritism towards Xu Ziqing.
On the stage, Xu Jinfu's voice continued: "For the victims, on behalf of Xu, I would like to express my deep apologies. We will do everything we can to make up for their losses."
Not long after the words fell, a group of people suddenly came behind Yanliang—
They didn't notice the existence of Yanliang at all, they brushed past Yanliang, but Yanliang had to pay attention to them, because even their footsteps were showing anger.
Yan Liang frowned vigilantly, watching these people walking quickly towards the stage. At this time, on the stage, under Xu Jinfu's gesture, the assistant stepped forward to take Xu Jinfu's crutches. Xu Jinfu stood up straight and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry—"
As soon as Xu Jinfu finished speaking, he heard a "splash-".
The few people who passed by Yanliang a moment ago poured a small bucket of viscous white liquid on Xu Jinfu who was still bowing.
Everyone present was shocked.
In the silence, the man with the plastic bucket said angrily: "My wife's face was ruined by you, now I'll pour your product on your face to see if you can still say so easily Say 'sorry'!!!"
immediately-
The continuous sound of shutter shutters overwhelmed the man's hysteria. Many reporters had waited so long to take such a photo, which was definitely worth the money.
The security guard rushed forward to drive away the troublemakers. The more chaotic the scene was, the louder the shutter sounded. Before everything got out of control, Xu Jinfu was helped backstage—
Yan Liang still stood by the door, watching the door leading to the backstage slam shut, watching his father's hunched back disappear behind the door, Yan Liang just smiled faintly,
In order to preserve Xu Ziqing's reputation, Xu Jinfu, who has always been the most face-saving man, would rather lose his own reputation...
Yanliang turned and left, the smile disappeared little by little following the sound of quick footsteps.
Apparently, although the media meeting in the afternoon saved Xu Ziqing's reputation, it made the overall situation worse.
Many reporters stayed in Xu's building for a whole day, but Yanliang finally left through the fire exit, and couldn't go to the parking lot to pick up his car, so he had to take a taxi home.
There is nothing to do at home, Yanliang really wants to take a short vacation for herself: if she can't think of a thorough solution, all busy work will be useless.
Nesting on the sofa and watching TV, almost every two channels can see a news about Xu's.
Time passed unknowingly, Yanliang looked up at the clock, it was almost 8 o'clock.
Yanliang thought for a while, leaned over and took the phone from the coffee table.
In order to keep herself clean, she has muted her phone since the afternoon. If the assistant has any new developments or wants to notify her of something, she will directly call the landline at home.
At this moment, Yan Liang went through the missed calls, there were nearly a hundred of them... Jiang Yunan's call was missing.
Yanliang thought for a while, frowned and pressed Jiang Yunan's phone number—
And just after she finished pressing this string of numbers, and just before she was about to press the dial button, the host's voice suddenly sounded on the TV: "Now we will insert a piece of news: Jiang, the president of Libo Group..."
Yan Liang's dialing fingers stiffened.
She froze for half a second, then turned her head to look at the TV with a "huh", took the remote control, and turned up the volume.
"...The following is the report from our reporter from the scene..."
Hearing what the host said, Yan Liang's hand holding the pistol froze, her body straightened, her eyes stared at the screen without blinking for a moment.
Seeing Jiang Shijun's face appearing on the TV screen, Yanliang could only think of two words: sanctimonious.
The old fox couldn't sit still anymore, and showed up in person just to clarify the relationship with Xu Ziqing
It is also true that it is not a glorious thing to have an affair with the daughter of the rival company, a person who can be her own daughter at an age.
But when Yanliang heard what Jiang Shijun said, his eyes widened in astonishment:
"I will retire early in the middle of next year, and I already have a candidate for my successor. She is—"
"..."
"—Xu Ziqing."
