Chapter 249: Ruining the Scenery
She called Chi Muzhen and said coldly, "I can come forward to clarify that Huo Yunting did nothing to me, and I can also drag Huo Tianyi into the water, but I have one condition!"
Three days later, the Huo press conference.
Huo Tianyi was sitting in the main seat, answering reporters' questions.
Because Huo Yunting sexually harassed Yang Yi and Huo Tianyi publicly stated that his parents were killed by Huo Yunting's parents, Huo's stock price has been falling recently. After discussion among shareholders, they decided to hold a press conference to distance themselves from Huo Yunting and the Huo family.
Huo Tianyi was eager for more opportunities like this to disparage Huo Yunting, so he readily agreed.
"Mr. Huo, what do you think about the former Huo Corporation president, Huo Yunting, sexually harassing clients?"
Huo Tianyi's face was filled with heartache. He said in a deep voice, "Publicly, Yun Ting is a shareholder of the Huo Corporation. His actions have affected the image of our company. We at the Huo Corporation firmly condemn this behavior. Personally, he is my cousin. I feel very guilty about what happened to Miss Yang. On behalf of the Huo family, I apologize to Miss Yang. As for Yun Ting, I hope he can mend his ways as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, another reporter continued, "Mr. Huo, didn't you say before that Huo Yunting's parents killed your parents? Why are you apologizing on his behalf?"
Huo Tianyi was silent for a few seconds, then spoke sincerely: "This matter has nothing to do with Yun Ting. As long as he doesn't protect his parents, he will always be my cousin!"
"Boss Huo, the news that Miss Yang is with Mr. Bai and is pregnant with his child has caused a stir. What do you think about this?"
Huo Tianyi glanced at the reporter and said slowly, "This is Miss Yang's private life. I'm not qualified to comment on it. But no matter what kind of person Miss Yang is in private, it's not an excuse or reason for Yun Ting to sexually harass her. Wrong is wrong. We should discuss the matter itself, not add some other conditions to discuss it. This is too unfair to Miss Yang!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became boiling, and all the reporters looked at Huo Tianyi with some admiration.
Being able to say such words shows that Huo Tianyi is really an upright person.
Later, the reporter asked a few more questions, and Huo Tianyi answered them all flawlessly. The reporters present all felt that it was a good thing for Huo Tianyi to take over the Huo Group.
Because the press conference was broadcast live, the comments were full of praise.
Huo Tianyi is the one with real vision. As for scumbags like Huo Yunting who sexually harassed women, they should just go to jail!
[Haha, come to think of it, Huo Yunting hasn't apologized to Yang Yi since the incident happened. It was Huo Tianyi who apologized on his behalf at the press conference. So, there's no need to talk about Huo Yunting's background!]
I used to think Huo Yunting was a formidable entrepreneur, but I never expected him to be so shady behind the scenes. It turns out all men are bad!
[Hey, the person in front, please don't slam all men in the same light! Are you trying to cause a gender war?!]
The screen in front of Huo Tianyi was playing the live broadcast of the press conference. Seeing the comments that belittled Huo Yunting, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Huo Yunting's reputation will become worse and worse. In the future, people will only remember that he is a bad person and will not remember that he was once the glorious president of the Huo Group.
Soon, the press conference came to an end, and Huo Tianyi stood up to make a final summary.
"Although Yun Ting did something wrong, I hope everyone can give him a chance to correct it. After all, everyone makes mistakes. As for Miss Yang, I will also strive to seek her forgiveness. We will not complain if she needs any compensation. Thank you..."
Before he could finish the word "home", the door to the press conference was suddenly pushed open, and a slim woman in a white dress walked in.
"Huo Tianyi, stop talking nonsense!"
The moment she spoke, all the reporters present turned around at the same time.
Seeing that the woman standing at the door was the woman involved in the sexual harassment and grandfather-granddaughter romance incidents, their eyes lit up and were full of gossip.
Huo Tianyi narrowed his eyes and ordered the secretary beside him in a cold voice, "Take her away!"
After the secretary nodded and left, Huo Tianyi turned to look at Yang Yi.
"Ms. Yang, shouldn't you be at home recovering from your injuries? Why are you here?"
Yang Yi sneered, his eyes filled with anger, "Huo Tianyi, stop pretending. It was obviously you who came to me and asked me to plot..."
Before he could finish his words, the lights at the press conference suddenly went out, plunging the venue into darkness.
"What's going on? Why is there a sudden power outage?!"
"Turn on your phone light!"
"Where's Yang Yiren?! Why did she suddenly disappear?! I'm still waiting for her next words!"
The scene was in chaos, and it took a full ten minutes before the lights came back on, and there was no one where Yang Yi had stood before.
Huo Tianyi smiled and reassured everyone, "Reporters, please be patient. The cause of the power outage has been investigated. A staff member accidentally turned off the power. It's back on now. Hey, where's Miss Yang?"
All the reporters looked at Huo Tianyi, and some of them, eager to see the excitement, asked, "Boss Huo, Yang Yi just said that you approached her. Did you make any private deals?"
"Boss Huo, you didn't plan for Huo Yunting to sexually harass Yang Yi, did you?"
"Speaking of which, there are some doubts about this matter. Why did Yang Yi call the police, but there is no evidence to prove that Huo Yunting did anything to her? I wonder how Mr. Huo will explain this matter?"
Listening to the questioning voices, the smile on Huo Tianyi's face gradually cooled.
He looked at the reporter and spoke slowly, "Why would I plot against my own cousin? If this had happened before he stepped down as president of the Huo Corporation, you might be suspicious, but now that I'm president of the Huo Corporation, what good would it be for me to frame him?"
Seeing that no one spoke, he smiled again, "I believe that all the reporters present are smart people and will not do anything that has no benefit to themselves, right?"
While the reporters were silent, a chuckle suddenly came from the corner.
"Huo Tianyi, is this the only despicable way you can use threats?"
Huo Tianyi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at a woman in a reporter's uniform in the corner, his expression suddenly becoming extremely ugly.
How does a secretary do his job? Why is Yang Yi still here?!
Yang Yi smiled, stood up and looked directly at Huo Tianyi and said, "Boss Huo, you are very surprised and shocked as to why I am still here and not locked up by your secretary, right?"
Huo Tianyi forced a smile, his eyes full of coldness. "Why would Miss Yang say that? Do you have any misunderstandings about me? I also have contacts with Miss Yang's father. If there are any misunderstandings, we can resolve them privately."
Yang Yi sneered and didn't take his threat seriously at all.
"Huo Tianyi, you said I misunderstood you. Did I misunderstand that you deliberately asked me to plot against Huo Yunting, or did I misunderstand that you went back on your word and wanted to work with my uncle and aunt to lock me up in the Yang family for life?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the reporters present widened their eyes with excitement.
"What did I hear?!"
"I didn't expect Huo Yunting to be framed!"
"Haha, Huo Tianyi pretends to be nice on the surface, but I didn't expect that he actually wants to stab Huo Yunting in the back. He's really two-faced!"
"It's perfectly normal for him to do this. Only someone with a mental disorder would call the son of the murderer who killed their parents a brother!"
Huo Tianyi's face was terribly gloomy. He looked at Yang Yi coldly and said, "Miss Yang, everyone must be responsible for what they say. I hope you won't talk nonsense! You said I teamed up with you to frame Yun Ting. What good would it be for me to frame him?!"
Yang Yi stared at him and spoke word by word, "Of course you have an advantage. The advantage is that you can defeat Huo Yunting in the next Huo company president election!"
