Chapter 2740 Public Apology 1
"I see!" An Guangyao understood what he said and then asked, "Then, are you going to make this thing public?"
"Since he has admitted and apologized, and has offered compensation, then of course I have to do it. As long as he doesn't make any moves against Shenghua Real Estate again, this thing will be considered nothing." Gu Ning said. Credit is something that Gu Ning takes very seriously. Once he says it, he will do it.
“However, even if you double the amount of compensation, you can’t let him get away with it.” Gu Ning said. Even if Zheng Shenghui is treated leniently, the other party must be made to show up in a big way.
The losses at the construction site, the loss of reputation, and the losses of the employees, all added up, Zheng Shenghui will have to pay at least 10 or 20 million in compensation. If it is doubled, it will be 20 to 30 million.
"Okay." An Guangyao responded. He didn't think there was anything wrong with doubling the compensation. Zheng Shenghui deserved it.
After things were settled, it was time for dinner, so they went straight to the restaurant to eat.
Then, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting also booked tickets to return to the capital tomorrow morning, and An Guangyao could handle everything else.
Because Gu Ning said that a press conference would be held immediately, Zheng Shenghui did not dare to waste any more time. As soon as he left the police station, he asked his secretary to notify the media that he would hold a press conference at 7 o'clock in the evening.
It's almost half past five now, so an hour and a half is enough to arrange it.
Although he agreed to Gu Ning's public apology, he was still extremely repulsive in his heart, because after the public apology, his reputation and that of Chengfeng Real Estate would become infamous and they would be criticized by the public.
He was also very angry about this incident, but it was not entirely because of his anger towards Gu Ning. He was more angry about the consequences this incident brought to him.
But he was the one who caused all these consequences, so he was angry with himself.
If he knew that Shenghua Real Estate had such a powerful backer, he would not have taken action.
At seven o'clock, Gu Ning and others had just finished their meal. Since it was not a social event that required drinking or anything, they ate quickly.
After dinner, An Guangyao sent Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting back to the hotel.
At seven o'clock, the press conference began outside the lobby of Chengfeng Real Estate.
Everyone originally thought that Zheng Shenghui wanted to clarify that the affairs of [Shenghua Real Estate] had nothing to do with [Chengfeng Real Estate], but unexpectedly, Zheng Shenghui actually admitted that the affairs of [Shenghua Real Estate] were related to [Chengfeng Real Estate]...
This shocked a lot of people! It's not that they didn't think that the incident at Shenghua Real Estate was related to Chengfeng Real Estate. When Kong Lixuan was taken away, most people already believed that the accident at the construction site of Shenghua Real Estate was related to Chengfeng Real Estate. They just didn't expect that Zheng Shenghui would hold a press conference to admit it and apologize publicly.
But if you think about it, it makes sense, because behind [Shenghua Real Estate] is [Shengning Group], such a powerful backer, I'm afraid few people will not apologize! If they don't apologize, the consequences will be even more serious.
"Then Mr. Zheng, why did you frame Shenghua Real Estate?" the reporter asked.
"Because I had my eyes on the piece of land on the construction site of Shenghua Real Estate. Originally, I was going to compete for that piece of land, but Shenghua Real Estate suddenly appeared and offered a high price, so Shenghua Real Estate got the land. I was not convinced, so I made a mistake in the heat of the moment. I feel very sorry and I publicly apologize to Shenghua Real Estate. I will also compensate Shenghua Real Estate for all its losses. I hope to be forgiven by Shenghua Real Estate." Zheng Shenghui apologized very sincerely, and then he bowed deeply to the camera of the media to show his sincerity.
"Mr. Zheng has publicly apologized, but will Shenghua Real Estate forgive him? I heard that Shenghua Real Estate is a subsidiary of Shengning Group. A large group like that should not compromise easily!" a reporter asked.
"I have met Ms. Gu, the chairman of Shengning Group. She is a very tolerant person. She will not pursue the matter any further since I admitted my mistake and was willing to make compensation. Nevertheless, I will deeply reflect on myself in the future, improve my qualities, do a good job in the construction industry, and I also ask the general public to give me a chance to reform." Zheng Shenghui said. Although he was threatened by Gu Ning, he had to say that Gu Ning was tolerant here.
If he still played tricks at this time, he would only anger and offend Gu Ning.
Since he has decided to apologize publicly, why not lower his posture and please Gu Ning a little more! Since Zheng Shenghui has met with Gu Ning, everyone knows that Zheng Shenghui's public apology is Gu Ning's intention.
"If you had not met Miss Gu and did not know that Shenghua Real Estate was a subsidiary of Shengning Group, would you not admit your mistake and apologize publicly?" a reporter asked. Generally, reporters' questions are very sharp and they are not afraid of offending people.
Of course, it’s not that I’m not afraid at all, but there are some questions that I need to ask.
And the question is asked sharply enough, which makes it interesting.
Hearing this, Zheng Shenghui's face turned a little ugly, because this was very obvious.
If [Shenghua Real Estate] was just [Shenghua Real Estate] and not a subsidiary of [Shengning Group], after the matter became a big deal and was exposed, he could at most let Kong Lixuan take the blame and everything would be fine.
However, things were indeed beyond my expectations... "I admit that if I hadn't met Miss Gu and didn't know that Shenghua Real Estate was a subsidiary of Shengning Group, I would still be struggling. But now I do know that I was wrong and I have sincerely changed for the better. Well, that's the end of today's public apology, thank you all for your help." Zheng Shenghui said. If he wanted to apologize, he should just stop at the point, so after that, Zheng Shenghui left.
The reporter wanted to ask something else, but Zheng Shenghui had already left under the escort of bodyguards, and his secretary stayed behind to see him off.
They all came here with money, so they didn't dare to go too far. And since Gu Ning had already given up on pursuing the matter, it wouldn't matter even if they didn't continue asking.
So, they all went back, and then the news was reported truthfully.
The report came out at exactly nine o'clock in the evening. When everyone saw the report, they were all surprised, but then they all understood.
Because of this incident, Chengfeng Real Estate and Zheng Shenghui were subjected to endless accusations and insults, especially from Gu Ning's fans, who criticized them harshly.
