Just as Lu Sangning was about to say something to the reporter, she suddenly saw Zhang Yong rushing over, followed by a group of security guards.
"No! I do not agree to annul the engagement!"
Zhang Yong rushed down to the stage and was about to climb onto it when security guards grabbed his shoulders and dragged him back.
Helpless, Zhang Yong raised his head and struggled desperately.
He shouted loudly at Lu Sangning on the stage, "Sangning, baby, I don't want to break off the engagement, I want to be with you!"
"I want to marry you, and I want to be with you forever and ever!"
Lu Sangning looked coldly at Zhang Yong, who was in a sorry state below the stage. Now, Zhang Yong's appearance would not only not garner her any sympathy, but would also make her feel even more disgusted.
If only I had known then what I know now!
Don't think he's pretending to be so infatuated; it's actually because he's afraid the Lu family will cancel all cooperation with the Zhang family.
If Zhang's business couldn't continue, it would be completely finished.
This is what Zhang Yong fears most.
His attempt to keep him wasn't for love.
At the reception, Zhang Yong's arrival was like a small ladle of water being poured into a calm oil pan, causing it to crackle and explode.
Most of the reporters stayed at the scene to ask Lu Sangning for his opinion on the matter.
A small group of reporters and independent media personalities rushed out to interview Zhang Yong, who had been thrown out of the hotel by security guards.
Zhang Yong patted his dust-covered clothes and said, tears streaming down his face:
"I know I made a mistake that all men make: I was seduced by my secretary, Zou Nana, and slept with her. But from beginning to end, the only person I've ever loved is my fiancée, Sang Ning."
I deeply regret hurting Sang Ning. I don't want to leave her; I just hope she can forgive me. If she's willing to forgive me, I'd even die for her.
Zhang Yong's pitiful statement was exposed by reporters and social media.
It caused quite a stir online.
Netizens are divided into two camps.
One faction supports Lu Sangning canceling the engagement and terminating all cooperation with the Zhang family.
Everyone hates scumbags like Zhang Yong the most, and they clamor to drive the Zhang family out of Beijing and out of China.
They might even be driven off Earth and out of the universe.
The other side disagreed, arguing that Zhang Yong is a good man because he knows his mistakes and can correct them.
As the saying goes, a man doesn't easily shed tears, but Zhang Yong's ability to cry in front of the entire internet proves that he truly repents.
Lu Sangning should forgive him, and the Lu family shouldn't have gone so far. They shouldn't have terminated their cooperation with the Zhang family, let alone prevented other companies from cooperating with them.
Isn't this denying people a way out and forcing them down a path to death?
The press conference has ended.
Lu Yuanqing had to leave first.
When Lu Sangning left, the weather turned against them, and a sudden downpour began.
As soon as Lu Sangning stepped out of the hotel, she saw Zhang Yong standing disheveled at the hotel entrance, holding roses in his hands, amidst the pouring rain.
His whole body was soaked through by the rain, and his clothes clung tightly to his body.
Rainwater haphazardly plastered his forehead and streamed down his cheeks in thick lines.
Upon seeing Lu Sangning emerge, Zhang Yong took a few steps forward and pleaded desperately, "Sangning, I really love you so much. Please, don't leave me, okay?"
Lu Sangning coldly stared at the scumbag in front of her.
With his arms crossed, he shouted sarcastically, "Zhang Yong, put away your hypocritical face! If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place! What are you pretending to be, this sentimental guy? Who are you trying to fool?"
The driver brought the Bugatti to the hotel entrance, and secretary Qin Yi held an umbrella for Lu Sangning.
Lu Sangning walked toward the car with a haughty gait.
Zhang Yong rushed over and presented the wet roses to Lu Sangning.
He wiped the rain off his face and said, "Sang Ning, baby, time will prove that I love you, and I will never give up on you!"
Lu Sangning gave a look, and the bodyguard next to her kicked Zhang Yong far away.
"You worthless wretch!"
Lu Sangning made a comment and climbed into the luxurious Bugatti.
In the car, Qin Yi asked Lu Sangning, "Mr. Lu, do you think he's truly repentant?"
Lu Sangning sneered: "Repent? He's just putting on a sentimental act to gain sympathy since the media are still there. He wants to turn Zhang's Enterprises around. Dream on!"
Qin Yi nodded.
As expected of President Lu, who dares to love and hate, even when deeply in love, he remains clear-headed.
I will no longer believe a scumbag's sob story or be misled by him.
"President Lu, but Zhang Yongli's portrayal of a devoted lover will lead to overwhelming public opinion, and everyone will support him." Qin Yi was somewhat worried about this.
Lu Sangning snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it just public opinion? Zhang Yong can create a persona of a devoted lover and generate public opinion, so why can't I?"
Qin Yi suddenly realized.
"Haha! President Lu is right."
Lu Sangning still had a cold expression.
"Qin Yi, Zhang Yong will definitely go to meet Zou Nana again. Have someone keep an eye on him and take more videos to post online to make him trend on social media."
"Also, keep an eye on the Zhang family. Create any opportunity to generate public opinion for them. Have someone secretly investigate the Zhang family's businesses, and if any evidence is found, immediately report it to the police and hand it over to them."
Qin Yi said happily, "Don't worry, President Lu, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
He then made a phone call: "Investigate the finances of the Zhang Group."
The person on the other end calmly replied, "Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yi said to Lu Sangning, "President Lu, the Zhang Group will disappear from Beijing in less than a week."
...
Lu Chi went to school in the afternoon but didn't see Da Su Yunian.
Ask Guagua: [Where is Su Yunian?]
Guagua: [School beauty Su is at the police station right now.]
