Under Director Zhao's watchful eye, the commotion subsided considerably.
His warnings finally had an effect.
"Here, I would like to thank everyone for their support and love for Longteng Auto. But at the same time, everyone must understand that we do not want to see people being assaulted or journalists being attacked. Doing so will not help us, but will only hurt those who truly care about us."
After Director Zhao finished speaking, the excited people finally calmed down.
"I want everyone to understand that most journalists are good and can report on us objectively and fairly. Please think about how many malpractices have been corrected because of journalists' exposure and supervision, and how many illegal and criminal acts have been stopped because of journalists!"
It must be said that Director Zhao's words truly resonated with many people, reminding them of the times they had heard of journalists having a significant impact.
They really did a lot!
"Finally, let me say this again: how can you be sure what that reporter actually did? So please calm down and let the presentation proceed smoothly. That's the greatest support you can give us!"
Director Zhao's speech on stage calmed everyone down.
At the same time, a large number of security guards ran over and appeared in the crowd, especially around the area where the disturbance had occurred.
The people huddled together were also persuaded to disperse.
Finally, thanks to the concerted efforts of Director Zhao and numerous security guards, the tense atmosphere at the scene dissipated.
The reporters are safe!
The visitors are safe!
Longteng Auto is naturally safe as well.
This exhibition did not encounter any particularly bad situations.
Factory Director Zhao and his men finally breathed a sigh of relief, and were truly at ease.
That was terrifying; something terrible almost happened.
If something really happens—like getting into a fight with a reporter—it'll be like mud smeared on your crotch; even if Longteng had a thousand mouths, he couldn't explain himself.
You say you didn't arrange for someone to do it, but people have to believe that.
Not to mention, there were so many foreigners, representatives of foreign car companies, and foreign news media present. If something like this really happened, it would be a heavy blow not only to the image of Longteng Group but also to the international image of China.
In Director Zhao's opinion, there are still too many people here.
There were supposed to be more events, but given the current situation, continuing them wouldn't be a good idea.
A thought struck him, and he spoke to the crowd.
"Now, let's take a break. The next activity will begin in twenty minutes."
"Please spread out a bit. If you want to see other things or other car models, you can go over now."
"Of course, everyone can take a rest. I'm very touched that you've kept me company on such a hot day, but please take care of yourselves!"
Director Zhao's heartfelt and reasonable words made many people feel that he was a really good leader in the car company, a leader with a lot of human touch.
As a result, they also developed a more favorable impression of Longteng Auto.
Many others still distrust Director Zhao, believing he is putting on a show.
At the same time, as Director Zhao spoke, everyone realized that they were actually crammed together with so many other people.
They hadn't noticed it before, but now that they've been reminded, they realize how hot it is.
On second thought, the next activity would take a while, so there was no need to stay here any longer.
As a result, many people began to squeeze outwards.
They wanted to leave this furnace-like place and go somewhere cooler.
The representatives from the foreign car companies stood up and quickly left.
Some walked briskly, while others ran.
"We must report to headquarters and have them check if there has been any record of such a design and if similar designs have appeared before."
"This is a major event in automotive history!"
"Such an amazing design has appeared in China!"
In addition, some clear-headed people felt a chill run down their spine when they recalled what had just happened.
That's so dangerous!
If a reporter were to be attacked, it would definitely cause a major disturbance, and no one knows whether they would be affected.
Therefore, many people feel as if they have survived a disaster.
Thank goodness!
Fortunately, no major problems arose.
Let's not stay here any longer.
Although Director Zhao was capable and managed to control the situation, there was no guarantee that no unexpected incidents might occur.
Soon, the area in front of Longteng Auto's booth became much emptier.
Seeing that there were far fewer people in front of him, Director Zhao felt much more relaxed.
It seems we need to add more manpower and strengthen security.
Otherwise, if there aren't enough people, something unexpected might happen.
At the same time, the reporters were finally relieved.
Sigh, being a journalist is really tough.
In fact, many journalists write relatively objective articles, but their actions do not guarantee that their articles will be published in newspapers, because they still have to go through editors, editors-in-chief, and other middle and senior-level officials who decide which type of article to publish.
Therefore, many journalists who have regained their safety are particularly grateful to Director Zhao at this time.
It must be said that the identity of a Chinese journalist is awkward.
Journalists during this period, especially many investigative journalists, took on a supervisory role and were feared by local governments in many places.
They wanted to fulfill their mission of "shouldering righteousness with unwavering resolve and crafting brilliant works with skillful hands," but they were also hampered in many ways.
Only a few people were disappointed that there was no chaos at the scene.
This included Hong Dazhong and two of his men.
