Chapter 762 Little Money Comes from the Bowl
Because of the man's words, a series of chilling conspiracy theories have emerged online about this incident.
The staff at the scene didn't know how to handle the situation, so they turned their attention to the town mayor, who had been invited to be the award presenter and was the only one who could make the decision.
"Call the police."
Such a big incident, even if no one was lucky enough to be killed, cannot be let off so easily.
The man who caused the trouble panicked for a moment when he heard the police call, but he also realized that he obviously had no choice but to hope that the police could clear his name.
The cameraman carrying the camera and the director and planner behind the camera felt dizzy when they heard the word "call the police." It was one thing that the first episode touched on sensitive topics, but this episode is involved in something like this again. This pair is really unpredictable.
The good news is that this incident has boosted the popularity of their show, and this time it should be able to go viral. They can only experience both pain and joy.
Compared to the complicated feelings of the production team, Ye Wanxi and the others didn't have many thoughts. Whether or not to report to the police, it wouldn't be their fault. They were just ordinary contestants who coveted the 1,000 yuan prize, and they almost became victims themselves. Just thinking about it made them feel miserable!
While the staff were busy calling the police, the previously agitated family calmed down a bit.
The refined man, the head of the household, took the initiative to approach with his wife and children, and greeted them somewhat awkwardly: "Gentlemen, Miss..."
"Hello."
"Hello, hello, I heard everything from my wife about what happened just now. Thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, the child would probably already be..."
This refined-looking man, surnamed Gao, was not a local. He was on vacation and had brought his wife and children on a trip.
I originally planned to leave during the day, but it just so happened that there was a festival here, and I heard that there were many fun and lively activities in the evening, so I stayed another night.
Who would have thought that such a terrible thing would happen!
At the time of the incident, Mr. Gao heard his wife say that she was a little hungry and wanted to eat the pancakes from the street stall.
Mr. Gao thought the stall wasn't too far away, so he handed the child to his wife and went to buy the pancakes.
Although the child was young, he was chubby and quite heavy. When her husband was around, he often held him. But after Mr. Gao left, Mrs. Gao felt tired after holding this solid little dumpling for a while, so she put him down on the ground and prepared to hold him again later.
As luck would have it, chaos erupted at the scene. Before Madam Gao could react, her people were pushed to the back by the panicked crowd, while her child was left behind!
Recalling the danger just now, Madam Gao was still extremely flustered. She hugged her son even tighter and said with a mix of guilt and relief, "It's all my fault. Why did I have to eat pancakes and not keep an eye on the child? Luckily, the child is alright, otherwise I don't even want to think about what would have happened."
None of the girls present had experience as mothers, but they could all understand Mrs. Gao's lingering fear. Seeing that her eyes were red and she looked like she might cry at any moment, they quickly spoke up to comfort her.
Mr. Gao patted his wife's back reassuringly, then took out a business card and handed it to Ye Wanxi: "As the saying goes, great kindness needs no thanks. Since you saved my child, Miss, you are our family's benefactor. My surname is Gao, and my family has some assets. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact me. As long as it is within my power, I will not refuse."
Mr. Gao could tell that the young lady who had saved his child, and especially the gentleman beside her, were definitely not ordinary people.
Since someone saved their child, they felt obligated to show their appreciation. Giving money might not be necessary and would seem insincere, so it was better to simply do them a favor.
Ye Wanxi glanced at the bottom of the business card—General Manager of Honghui Technology Group.
Someone who becomes a general manager at such a young age must either have family connections, be highly capable, or have both.
"Mr. Gao, don't worry too much. It was so chaotic at the time. No one would stand by and watch someone die if they were in danger. It was just a small favor. It's best if the child is alright."
"It's a small favor for Miss, but it's a huge deal for our family."
At Mr. Gao's insistence, Ye Wanxi finally accepted the business card, even though she felt she probably wouldn't need it, but... what if she did?
However, now that it has been confirmed that all the injured have been properly taken care of, the follow-up matters will be handled by the police.
Ye Wanxi and the others were more concerned about whether they could still get the 1,000 yuan bonus.
"President Feng has already received the colored ball, so he should be considered a winner, right? Besides, he worked so hard to get this, and he almost... It's already quite generous of him not to ask the organizers for compensation for emotional distress, so not giving him the 1,000 yuan prize money is a bit excessive, isn't it?"
The filming of the show was temporarily interrupted due to the arrival of the police. The viewers who were watching with great interest were furious, and their discussion of the inside story instantly turned into cursing the production team.
But they had to admit that without the cameras, the group felt much more relaxed.
Gu Shaoling still felt a pang of heartache thinking about that thousand yuan. That was a thousand yuan! It could have bought so many things, like vegetables and meat! And just like that, it flew away. Her heart was bleeding.
Zhao Yun'er, realizing she had only earned a hundred or two from selling flowers all night, immediately joined Gu Shaoling in their indignation, saying, "That's right, that's what President Feng deserves! Let's go get it back!" With that, she pulled Gu Shaoling along to demand the money.
Li Guangjun and Nie Yuyang hadn't expected the two to be so impulsive. After exchanging a helpless glance, they hurriedly followed.
The money was ultimately for Ye Wanxi and the others, so the two parties involved naturally had to go.
Fortunately, the organizers were quite open-minded. When they saw this group of people coming in a menacing manner, they initially thought they were there to demand an explanation.
When they learned that the group had come for the bonus, the staff looked at them with a complicated expression.
But the fact remains that someone received the colored ball, and even without any unforeseen circumstances, it was obvious who would win.
After consulting with the person in charge, the 1,000 yuan was eventually given, along with a small commemorative medal.
Unfortunately, the town mayor, who was supposed to present the award, had already gone to cooperate with the police investigation and was unable to personally present the award to Feng Tianyu, nor could he announce the winner in front of the whole town and bring him countless praises.
The staff were initially worried that Feng Tianyu would be dissatisfied with the arrangement, but little did they know that Feng Tianyu's original purpose was money, and he didn't care about these unnecessary attentions at all.
With a thousand yuan in hand, the group stared wide-eyed at the red bills.
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but laugh. She shook the envelope containing the money and said generously, "Now that we have money, how about we have barbecue tonight!"
