Chapter 77
The clock struck ten and the dinner was drawing to a close.
The music slowed down, the voices became quieter, and most of the silver plates on the long buffet table were empty. The waiters removed them one by one and replaced them with desserts and various drinks after the meal.
According to the schedule, Tang Zehao would give a brief closing speech at the end of the dinner. So the hall was now considerably quieter, but it was also the busiest place ever. Those who had left the hall for a breath of fresh air during the break were now returning, leaving every seat completely occupied.
Under the admiring gaze of everyone, Tang Zehao walked onto the stage at the front of the hall.
The bright lights illuminated the smile on his face. "First of all, I would like to extend a sincere welcome to everyone for coming..."
Before he finished the first sentence, something flickered in the air and a slight sound of electricity was heard, quickly spreading throughout the hall.
Then, more than a dozen translucent screens suddenly appeared in the air, each of which was larger than the largest TV screen, ensuring that everyone present could clearly see the content on it.
The incident happened suddenly and the crowd was in an uproar.
The guests looked around blankly, discussing among themselves in low voices, completely unaware of what was happening.
"I was shocked. What's going on?"
"Isn't this a speech? Why did you suddenly put the screen down just after you started?"
"Maybe there's some reserved program. Mr. Tang didn't mention anything, so it must have been arranged in advance."
…
Some people looked up at Tang Zehao's face, hoping to get some hint. But he just smiled confidently, completely unconcerned about what was happening, as if everything was under control.
The next second, all the screens flashed at the same time, and then a pale face appeared.
She was a young girl, looking to be in her early twenties, with a pretty face, but she was too thin, with her cheeks a little sunken.
She looked straight at the camera for two seconds and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Qingming, and I used to be a contracted anchor for Stargazing Media."
The girl's voice was thin, but her tone was very firm. "I want to report my boss, Luo Ye, the vice president of Guanxing Media. He started pursuing me a week after I joined the company. When I rejected him, he became angry and engaged in PUA behavior and suppression for three months. This directly led to my depression and made me unable to continue working, so I had to resign."
The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Luo Ye in the crowd like spotlights.
When Lin Qingming's face appeared on the screen, Luo Ye had already realized the seriousness of the problem. What the other party said made his eyes go black and he almost collapsed in his seat.
The huge impact made his brain almost blank. He stood there, watching the content on the screen continue to play.
"I am personally responsible for all my words and am willing to bear all legal responsibilities arising from them. To prove that what I said is true, I will now present some evidence."
The video was obviously edited and recorded in advance. As she finished speaking, a video appeared on the other side of the screen, which was a recording of a chat history.
In the chat box, Luo Ye sent many voice messages late at night, long and short, one after another.
Lin Qingming's reply was mixed in with a resistant and cautious tone. Sometimes it was just a few short words, and sometimes it was just a single emoticon, which seemed particularly pitiful.
The voice strips are played in sequence.
"Mingming, what are you doing? Take a picture for me."
"What are you afraid of? We are not outsiders."
"What do your pajamas look like? Are they the cool kind? Haha."
"You have such a great figure, you must look great in a suspender."
…
The voice became more and more unbearable to hear, full of foul language, which made the people present frown and their eyes became complicated when they looked at Luo Ye.
Luo Ye was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He stood up from his seat and waved his hands to cover the screen in front of him as if he was trying to cover his ears and steal the bell.
"This isn't true! The chat logs are fake! Don't believe it!"
"That's not me! That's really not me!!"
However, he was slapped in the face the next second. After the record was displayed, Lin Qingming specifically clicked on Luo Ye's portrait and entered the personal business card interface.
Every piece of information above corresponded to Luo Ye, including his WeChat ID, which made him speechless.
Then she continued, "After that, Luo Ye began to suppress and belittle me."
Another video was played, which was taken from a candid perspective.
"Mingming, what have you been doing lately? Can't you see the data is declining?"
In the spacious and luxurious office, Luo Ye sat at the table with a sinister look on his face, completely different from his usual gentle and polite demeanor.
"You still have the nerve to go out and eat, drink, have fun, and post on social media. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself for messing around like this? If I were you, I wouldn't be able to face anyone!"
"Look at yourself in the mirror. You've become so fat! There's no other female anchor as fat as you."
"You've been staying up late lately, right? The skin on your face is all loose. If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were forty."
…
Luo Ye's barrage of insults was unrelenting, every word a mocking one, filled with utter insults. He didn't stop for a single moment during the three-minute video.
When reading the chat logs just now, many people were just there to watch the fun, thinking it was just a romantic scandal involving an executive and nothing serious. But by the time the video was finished, most people were looking at Luo Ye with dissatisfaction and contempt.
Regarding the fact that Ye Qingming suffered from depression due to Luo Ye's torture, many people did not realize the seriousness of the problem at first, and even thought that Ye Qingming was too fragile and had poor psychological endurance.
But after watching the video, everyone changed their attitude. Anyone who was scolded and belittled like this by their boss would soon become mentally unstable, and even a little bit of it would make them suffocate.
"That's not the case! Ye Qingming is not serious about his work, often slacking off and absenteeism, and his data has dropped significantly!"
Luo Ye was sweating profusely from anxiety, and tried to defend himself, "As her boss, I was anxious at the moment, so my words were a bit harsh. I'm not like that usually! It was just that one time!"
In the video, Ye Qingming seemed to be able to predict what he was going to say and smiled contemptuously.
"There is still a lot of evidence that Luo Ye pursued and harassed me, and that PUA suppressed me. I have uploaded it all to the cloud, and everyone can download and view it."
Ye Qingming pointed to the QR code that suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of the screen and gestured.
There is no reason not to eat such a sweet melon when it is right in front of your mouth. Everyone picked up their mobile phones to scan the code, and the notification sound of the download completion echoed in the hall.
Pictures and videos appeared on mobile phone screens, and the subtle atmosphere spread rapidly, like a virus, casting a shadow of unhappiness on the faces of every spectator.
There was a loud bang as Luo Shan pulled the chair out. His face turned pale and he glared fiercely at Luo Ye beside him. Without saying a word, he walked away.
This was the first time he brought Luo Ye to such an important occasion, and he only agreed after Luo Ye begged and persuaded him for a long time. He didn't expect that such a big mess would occur.
No matter how you look at it, Luo Ye is in the wrong. And now that things have gotten to this point, Luo Shan no longer cares who did it. The fact that it could be broadcast openly in such an occasion must have been with Tang Zehao's tacit approval.
The only thing to blame is Luo Ye's lack of vision. He made a mistake and offended someone he shouldn't have.
Luo Shan had lived half his life and had never been so embarrassed as today. He secretly made up his mind that from now on, he would draw a clear line between himself and Luo Ye and never have anything to do with him again.
"Uncle, wait a minute..." Luo Ye quickly stood up and wanted to chase after him, but at this time new content appeared on the screen hanging in the air, making him unable to chase or stay for a while, and he froze in place.
The anchor who appeared this time was called Cui Yang, and what he said was similar to what Lin Qingming said. At the end of the video, another QR code appeared, which confirmed the facts for the second time.
Then, there was the third girl.
Luo Ye couldn't understand why things turned out like this.
He did do some very excessive things to Lin Qingming and Cui Yang, but those happened a long time ago. How could they suddenly be brought up?
Back then, he was inexperienced, so he left a trail of suspicion. Later, he secretly monitored several former victims. Some were hospitalized, some recuperating at home, and some had fled to other cities. In short, they were all in dire straits, focused solely on self-preservation and escape, and didn't want to provoke him again, so he felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, the girls he had harmed all spoke out today. All the crimes he had committed in the past were suddenly exposed to the sun, leaving him with no escape. He felt as scared as if he were stripped naked and paraded through the streets.
The noise around was gradually rising, and the discussions could not be suppressed at all. They were like sharp knives, ruthlessly stabbing into Luo Ye's body.
"Who is this person? I've never heard of him before."
"He's the vice president of Stargazing Media, but he got in thanks to his family connections."
"That's what I was saying. How could someone like this get in here? It's such a disgrace."
"He was trying to get close to me just now, luckily I ignored him. What bad luck."
…
Why? Why did it turn out like this?
He had been on such a smooth journey, so why did it suddenly fall apart? What had gone wrong?
Luo Ye felt dizzy and his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't make sense of anything.
At a certain moment, a person's name emerged in his mind.
Shen Fengni!
By the way, Shen Fengni!
Shen Fengni had mentioned his actions in some way, so she must have done all of this, right?
Just make Shen Fengni stop... make her stop!!
Luo Ye suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and searched the crowd.
Finally, he saw that slender and beautiful figure sitting not far from the stage.
"Ms. Chen!" Luo Ye had completely lost his image, and his voice had changed. "Ms. Chen, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry!!"
He ran towards Shen Fengni regardless of anything, stumbling and falling to his knees in front of her.
"Everything that happened before was my fault. I'm a bastard. I'm not a human being. Everything is my own fault!"
Luo Ye fell to the ground, as humble as a stray dog. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!! I beg you to let me go! I will never appear in front of you again. Please don't torture me like this!"
Shen Fengni quietly watched Luo Ye rushing over, and quietly listened to his frantic plea for mercy, without changing his expression throughout.
When the person kneeling in front of her finally stopped and stopped making any sound, she lowered her eyes and spoke softly.
"Luo Ye, the person who needs to hear you say sorry is not me."
