Bai Qianmo retorted, "You said my family gave me tens of millions? Then let me ask you, did you personally see me take that money?"
A hint of guilt flashed in Bai Xiruo's eyes: "I didn't see it, but I heard my parents talk about it. They originally didn't agree with you going into business, but you insisted on starting your own media company. Your father also wanted to give you experience, so he agreed to fund the purchase of Tengyue for you."
Upon hearing Bai Xiruo's words, almost no one had any doubts.
Bai Qianmo has no money. Although she is currently enjoying great popularity, she has only taken on supporting roles in one variety show and two TV dramas.
Given her previous fame, the money she earned wouldn't even be enough to buy a fraction of Tengyue's assets, so where did this huge sum of tens of millions of yuan come from?
If we contact Bai Xiruo, there's a very high chance that Bai Kangyan will provide the money.
"What's wrong with admitting that the company was bought by your parents?"
"Heh, maybe she's afraid of losing face. I gave her tens of millions, and she squandered them in just a few months. If word gets out, wouldn't everyone know she's a gold digger?"
"If you ask me, the best outcome right now is to honestly sell Tengyue to Fansheng, giving Tengyue a way out and allowing her to cut her losses in time."
Bai Qianmo's indifferent gaze shot towards the few female celebrities who were making sarcastic remarks.
Upon meeting Bai Qianmo's gaze, the female celebrities immediately fell silent.
Although they all disliked Bai Qianmo, after watching the video of her saving the photographer from the crocodile's mouth, they were actually wary of her from the bottom of their hearts.
“Tens of millions is no small sum. Our family shouldn’t have forgotten. Why don’t we call home now to verify?” Bai Qianmo took out her phone and faced Bai Xiruo.
A hint of nervousness flashed in Bai Xiruo's eyes: "Dad will definitely not tell everyone the truth in order to protect you. Qianmo, instead of being so serious about this matter, you should think about how Tengyue should go on. At present, Tengyue has no employees and no resources. To put it bluntly, it's just waiting for you to declare bankruptcy. Why do you have to be so stubborn? I'm really doing this for your own good."
Bai Qianmo sneered: "Bai Xiruo, don't you think your words are contradictory? I asked you to produce evidence, but you dodged the question and said that my parents were protecting me. In fact, you can't produce any evidence at all. From beginning to end, you've just made up lies to slander me, yet you claim it's for my own good?"
"I just didn't want you to lose everything. Selling Tengyue to Fansheng would at least make up for some of the losses," Bai Xiruo said, looking aggrieved.
Bai Qianmo scoffed, "You must be exhausted from putting on a show in front of everyone every day while wearing a mask."
"Qianmo, how...how could you say that to me?"
"Bai Qianmo, Xi Ruo really means well, why can't you listen to her?" Gu Hongxun stepped out from the crowd.
He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing Bai Qianmo's aggressive attitude, he simply couldn't stand it anymore.
Xi Ruo was clearly well-intentioned, but she was doubted and ridiculed.
He knew that Bai Qianmo was aloof and never took anyone seriously, but she still hurt people who were good to her. He had actually been infatuated with this kind of person before.
Thinking of this, Gu Hongxun felt a pang of annoyance.
"What was wrong with what Xi Ruo just said? You're an adult now, and you've squandered all the money your family gave you. Now you have the audacity to accuse Xi Ruo of persuading you to agree to the acquisition? If she wasn't truly looking out for you, would she have bothered to say such thankless things?"
"Hongxun, stop talking. It's my fault, I shouldn't have said anything. Qianmo, I'm sorry, I apologize to you." Bai Xiruo's eyes were slightly red, and she looked particularly aggrieved.
Others also began to criticize Bai Qianmo.
"No wonder he went bankrupt; he's a classic example of someone who can't tell right from wrong."
"Xi Ruo, I just reminded you that you should stay far away from some ungrateful and treacherous people to avoid getting caught in their crossfire."
"Xi Ruo was just trying to advise you to cut your losses, Bai Qianmo, aren't you going too far by saying that to her? If she didn't genuinely care about you, would she have bothered to make a fool of herself?"
Chairman Cao looked at Bai Xiruo with admiration.
"Ms. Xi Ruo, your kindness is evident to all. We at Fansheng are also very grateful that you stepped forward to protect our company's image. I have decided that you will be the spokesperson for Fansheng Entertainment's streaming platforms this year. I hope that we will have more and more cooperation in the future."
Chairman Cao's announcement of this decision on the spot truly shocked everyone.
The celebrities who came today are all here as endorsements from companies under the Prosperity Group.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiruo stepped forward and said a few words, and then secured the endorsement deal.
Even Bai Xiruo herself was somewhat surprised: "Thank you, Uncle Cao."
"You're welcome. You deserve it."
Chairman Cao turned his gaze and looked coldly at Bai Qianmo.
"Originally, we acquired Tengyue because you are young and it's not easy for young people to start a business. We hoped it would help your company solve its current predicament. But we didn't expect you to be so stubborn and ungrateful, squandering your parents' hard-earned money and still being so self-righteous. Bai Qianmo, I hope you will think twice before you act like this."
Bai Qianmo scoffed, "It's nothing more than driving small and medium-sized enterprises to the brink of ruin for the sake of their own company's interests. In the end, they still have to pretend to be compassionate and virtuous. Chairman Cao has truly brought out the full extent of bullying the weak and hypocrisy."
Chairman Cao's face immediately darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Little girl, before you have a solid foundation, it's best not to show off your talents too much, otherwise you won't have a good outcome in this circle."
