The young reporter had just been told to leave, but unexpectedly, she was immediately placed under surveillance after leaving, and the other party took Ms. Chen directly to a closed room.
Ms. Chen struggled throughout, trying to break free of her restraints, and angrily shouted, "Who are you? What do you want to do? Who gave you permission to do this? Is there no law anymore?!"
“I’m sorry, Ms. Ye. Mr. Yu said that since you know what he wants to do, in order to ensure the smooth running of the upcoming press conference, you cannot attend Ye Qingcheng’s event. As compensation, this bank card is given to you by our husband.”
Miss Chen, who had originally intended to contact Ye Qingcheng, paused for a moment and lost her ability to resist.
The man in black who was monitoring her smiled and said, "Ms. Chen, Mr. Yu said he doesn't need you to do anything. Just stay in this room and wait for the press conference to end. Then we will give you this card and its PIN together."
Reporter Chen was still struggling, but she clenched her hands after seeing the bank card.
After locking her up, they gave her money. All she had to do was not attend Ye Qingcheng's press conference. She took a deep breath, finally accepted the bank card, and even signed a confidentiality agreement.
After everything was done, the man in black called Yu Jingchen. "Mr. Yu, Miss Chen has accepted the bank card and signed the confidentiality agreement. We will be here watching over her, so please rest assured."
"Okay, I understand."
Yu Jingchen responded and slowly hung up the phone. He wasn't surprised by the result. When he contacted the reporter, he knew she was short of money. He only needed to say some inflammatory words, and she would eventually be completely corrupted by the temptation of money.
In the end, he was still bribed and given money. He acted all high and mighty in front of him, saying that news should not be fabricated, should not be misled, and should not let the audience be fooled, but in the end he still chose to do this.
Why didn't you just agree in the first place? You could get even more money after you finish this task.
Yu Jingchen scoffed. He was only worried that Peng Yuezeng still favored the Ye Group. If the Ye Group was ruined because of this incident, then his company would be the most promising. He needed a large amount of capital to realize his ambitious goals, and the Yu family would definitely achieve even greater success under his leadership.
Yu Jingchen chuckled softly, turned on the TV, and waited for Ye Qingcheng's live press conference.
Thanks to Jiang Jianian's introduction, the Ye Group and Tangxin Hotel collaborated on the press conference. They provided the venue free of charge and helped organize the event. Tan Yingqiu, a pastry chef friend who had initially wanted to collaborate with Jiang Jianian, also came to help. He reached a certain cooperation agreement with Jiang Jianian, and the proposal had already been written and given to the upper management. Through Jiang Jianian's introduction, the Ye Group's choice of Tangxin Hotel as the press conference venue directly led to the upper management's rejection of the plan.
After learning about the relationship between Jiang Jianian and Ye Qingcheng, the leadership asked Tan Yingqiu to try to get Jiang Jianian to invest in the company privately. Tan Yingqiu also planned to talk to Jiang Jianian after the press conference and came over early in the morning to help.
The press conference was held in full swing.
Yu Jingchen was also watching the live broadcast of the reporters taking their seats on his computer. He smiled coldly. After learning that Ye Qingcheng had chosen to cooperate with Tangxin Hotel, he knew that the relationship between the two companies had reached a point where it was impossible to ease. Yu Jingchen would not show any mercy.
Reporters entered the room one by one for the press conference.
Once everything was ready, the press conference officially began as Ye Qingcheng appeared in the public eye.
The host briefly explained the process, and the first to speak was Ye Qingcheng. He took off his hospital gown and put on a suit. Because he had not been working long hours and had received treatment at the hospital, his condition had stabilized and he looked quite well. This made the reporters below wonder if there was anything wrong with Ye Qingcheng's health, as he did not seem weak at all.
Ye Qingcheng took the microphone and began to explain the main purpose of the press conference, the future development direction of the Ye Group, and some explanations regarding the recent stock price fluctuations. Finally, Ye Qingcheng said into the microphone: "I know everyone has been very concerned about my health. I originally did not intend to take up media resources because of my health, but there are many conflicting opinions online, and many loyal consumers of the Ye Group are also very worried about my situation. Therefore, I have specially convened this press conference to answer some questions. The most important question is about my health. Here I must admit that what is circulating online is not false information, and those medical records are indeed true. I have indeed been resting in the hospital these days. I have also resigned from most of my work at the Ye Group, except when the current successor of the company is not clear about something, I will give them some guidance."
As he said this, the host introduced him, and a handsome young man in a suit and glasses walked up to Ye Qingcheng.
This was Jiang Jianian's first appearance in front of the media. Because of his outstanding appearance, the female reporters below couldn't help but sigh, and even took photos of Jiang Jianian.
The host began to introduce Jiang Jianian, and Ye Qingcheng nodded with a smile, "This is Jiang Jianian, the future heir of the Ye Group."
The moment the news broke, the reporters below erupted in excitement, and the scene nearly descended into chaos. Fortunately, the host managed to calm things down, and the atmosphere returned to normal.
Jiang Jianian didn't say anything at this moment. Standing beside Jiang Jianian, under countless spotlights.
Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but feel nervous sitting below. She knew that Jiang Jianian didn't like to show his face in public. Even when he won the provincial top score and was exceptionally admitted to the research institute, he directly refused to be interviewed. But now he had to stand in the spotlight under pressure. The people below were incredulous when they saw Jiang Jianian. Some even discussed whether Ye Qingcheng was being too frivolous. Even if he was to be the successor, he shouldn't have chosen someone so young.
But what was truly shocking was the question-and-answer session. At first, the questions were directed at Ye Qingcheng, inquiring about his health and why he had chosen this young man as the future leader. But later, all the criticism turned to Jiang Jianian.
The moment the male reporter got the microphone, he directly and openly asked, "Mr. Ye, could you please explain what your considerations were in choosing this successor? I believe you must know that your heir is not simple. His father was even a murderer who was sentenced to death by the Intermediate People's Court last year. What made you choose the son of a murderer as your company heir? Don't you think this is the most irresponsible thing to do for the Ye Group and for the consumers who support you?"
Upon seeing this, the host immediately tried to stop the reporter from speaking, but the male reporter immediately raised his voice and questioned Jiang Jianian, "Mr. Jiang Jianian, will you deny this? You won't deny that your father was sentenced to death for murder, will you?"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room erupted in uproar. Ye Zhiwei stood up abruptly, her breathing erratic. She glared angrily at the male reporter who had publicly asked the question, but there was nothing she could do. Clenching her fists, she could only force herself to calm down and, still seething with rage, sit back down in her seat.
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, and the scene became chaotic again.
As Ye Zhiwei nervously shifted her gaze to Jiang Jianian, expecting him to be provoked as well, Jiang Jianian merely tightened his grip on the microphone and calmly said, "I don't deny that."
The press conference was forced to be interrupted.
Ye Zhiwei's breathing quickened. Just as she was about to do something and clench her hands to get up, she received a message from Ye Qingcheng: "Little cousin, don't worry. Xiao Jiang had already anticipated this situation. He and Uncle have come up with a solution. You don't need to do anything now. Let's just wait and see."
