She didn't beg him; he wouldn't soften his heart anymore.
When Xu Xinchen arrived at Chen Ningsheng's office building, she learned that he was going to hold a press conference at the last minute.
She knew that this matter might be more serious than she had imagined, and the thought of him pretending to be happy without revealing any clue in front of her made her feel even more heartbroken.
Without informing him, she followed a group of reporters into the company lobby's conference room, hiding in a corner behind her seat to observe quietly.
After waiting for a long time, he still hadn't appeared. It was the company's acting manager who was explaining things to the reporters. The reporters, unable to wait for him, began to get a little impatient, and their questions unconsciously became more pointed. The man on the stage was sweating profusely, and his voice was stammering as he struggled to keep up.
The reporters in front suddenly stirred, their eyes turning towards the left entrance of the hall. There, a man in a black suit was walking confidently toward the stage.
His upright posture instantly attracted everyone's attention when he walked onto the stage, but his calm expression, without the slightest anxiety or panic, reassured everyone present.
It's as if with him around, there's nothing that can't be solved.
He walked to the front of the stage, his sharp gaze sweeping over the audience, before greeting the reporters with a smile.
Looking at the dazzling figure on stage, Xu Xinchen's expression relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, as if all her previous worries were unnecessary.
He calmly and politely answered all the sharp questions thrown at him by the media, instantly turning the atmosphere around.
"Excuse me, what is the condition of the Peking University medical student whose hand was blown off and who will never be able to hold a scalpel again? And how does President Gu plan to handle the aftermath?"
"If a medical student is unable to hold a scalpel again because of this incident, your company will cover all expenses for the student's future life."
His voice resonated with everyone present; she knew the weight of such a promise made in such a public setting.
His handling of the situation impressed the media present, and the previous doubts subsided considerably.
Xu Xinchen felt slightly relieved, but then she heard a reporter sitting in front of her suddenly stand up, "President Gu, I heard that Xinke purchased the same batch of equipment as you, but their pre-testing process hasn't been completed yet, so it hasn't been released to the market and there have been no casualties. What are your thoughts on this company's cautious approach towards consumers?"
Xu Xinchen was sitting right behind her, and she could hear everything the girl said. At this point, it was obvious who had leaked the information that Xinke had also purchased this batch of goods.
Her fist clenched unconsciously.
He looked towards the stage with a worried expression.
Chen Ningsheng's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "As a rising star, Shinco's cautious quality control and responsible approach to consumers is certainly something we should learn from. In fact, we also purchased this batch of goods from Shinco. It's hard to determine which company is responsible, but we will take full responsibility for rushing into the market without understanding the situation beforehand."
These words instantly enlivened the audience.
Xu Xinchen clearly heard the murmurs coming from ahead, "If it was purchased from Shinco, then Shinco's equipment isn't safe either?"
"That's how business is. They're all birds of a feather. When the time comes, they'll pass the buck. In any case, this newcomer can't escape the consequences."
Xu Xinchen lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
After the press conference ended, Xu Xinchen waited outside until all the reporters had left before Chen Ningsheng slowly walked out.
"Is this matter resolved?" she asked him anxiously.
The press conference took full responsibility, which may leave the public with the impression of a large company that admits its mistakes and corrects them. However, the accident has already happened, and the damage caused cannot be undone.
It's likely that the public will only have a negative impression of the company and will no longer trust its products.
It's easy to ruin someone's reputation, but it's very difficult to maintain it.
Chen Ningsheng sighed softly, rubbed his temples, and his tense expression relaxed immediately. "Don't worry, I have other ideas."
In the office, Assistant Zhang placed the information he had just found out in front of him. "Mr. Chen, it's all cleared up."
"Bai Hao's situation is basically as his classmates described. His father has heart disease, and his sister works hard to support the family by doing odd jobs. Recently, his father's condition has worsened and he urgently needs surgery, which requires a large sum of money for treatment, but the Bai family obviously cannot afford it."
"However, the fee was paid in full yesterday."
Chen Ningsheng glanced casually at the papers on the table and immediately knew what was going on. "Something's fishy."
Assistant Zhang chimed in, "Yes, he insisted on not having Mr. Chen help him with his treatment, yet he inexplicably received such a large sum of money. Someone is using him behind the scenes."
Chen Ningsheng pondered for a moment, his eyes fixed on the distance, and said, "Send some money over first, and make up the difference if his father's medical expenses aren't enough. Also, invite Dr. Zhan over to examine his father."
"Mr. Chen, this..." Dr. Zhan was Chen Ningsheng's father's personal physician, a leading figure in the medical field who had just returned from the United States.
He didn't understand what Chen Ningsheng meant, but since he had given the order, he did as he was told.
In the hospital, Bai Hao's father lay on the bed, looking at his two children beside him with a worried expression, especially Bai Hao, whose brows were tightly furrowed. "I don't want treatment anymore, the treatment fees are so expensive... Take the money and look at your hands instead. What a tragedy! He finally got into university, how could something like this happen..."
As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
"Dad, the surgery fees have been paid in full, so you can focus on your treatment."
Bai Hao's father was stunned, and his sister Bai Jing was also stunned. "Where did you get the money from?"
“I…you don’t need to worry about it.” Bai Hao kept his head down, not looking at the two of them, “Anyway, the treatment fees have been covered.”
Bai Jing pulled Bai Hao out of the ward and stared at him intently in the hospital corridor, asking, "Where did you get the money from?"
Bai Hao turned around, avoiding his gaze, and remained silent.
"Tell me, did you steal it from somewhere? Please don't do anything so foolish..."
"Sister, stop making wild guesses." He immediately interrupted, meeting Bai Jing's curious gaze with a lump in his throat.
Suddenly a voice rang out from the side, "Bai Hao."
Bai Hao turned around and saw Assistant Zhang standing behind him with a middle-aged man.
His face instantly hardened, his expression displeased, and he grabbed Bai Jing, ready to leave. "What are you doing here?"
Assistant Zhang immediately stepped in front of him, smiled and introduced himself to Bai Jing before introducing the middle-aged man behind him to the siblings.
After hearing Dr. Zhan's resume, Bai Jing's eyes lit up, while Bai Hao cautiously watched the two of them.
"Dr. Zhan said that he had surgery on your father's disease before, and the cure rate was 80%."
Bai Jing's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
Dr. Zhan approached the ward to check on the situation. Bai Hao's father was already asleep. Dr. Zhan simply stood by the bedside for a brief examination and then confidently said, "I am 90% certain that I can treat this condition."
Bai Jing was overjoyed.
He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Zhan, what is the cost of the treatment...?"
Dr. Zhan waved his hand, "I'm here to help you at A-Sheng's request, I won't accept any money..."
Bai Jing hesitated for a moment, not knowing who A Sheng was.
Suddenly, Bai Hao stepped forward and pulled Bai Jing out of the ward.
Bai Jing looked at her brother, whose expression was inexplicable, and asked in bewilderment, "What are you doing?"
"Sister, we're not going to get treatment."
Bai Hao raised his head and looked at her firmly.
His words shocked her. She was stunned for a long time before she reacted, her expression turning angry. "Are you crazy? He said the success rate of the surgery is ninety percent, while Dad's attending physician said the success rate is only fifty percent! Are you insane?"
Giving up such a good opportunity?
Bai Hao hesitated for a moment, his brows furrowed and his expression troubled. "Sister, actually, the person that person mentioned, A Sheng, is the culprit who caused my hand to be injured in the explosion."
Bai Jing looked surprised. "What does this mean?"
Bai Hao recounted the truth in detail, and Bai Jing's brows furrowed.
Her calm voice rang out, "Ah Hao, although that person harmed you, he was also willing to take responsibility, willing to take you abroad for treatment, and willing to treat our father's illness. Why don't you accept it?"
She looked at him intently.
