Chapter 8
The first thing Song Zhehao said was, "I never expected this. I don't know if it's because I'm a bad person, or if I've offended everyone here. Before it's even my turn to go on stage, these questions are already making me unable to sit still!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent, and everyone stared in surprise at Song Zhehao who suddenly stood up.
Song Zhehao slowed down, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of anger: "I am the brother of this female student, the profiteer you despise - Song Zhehao."
When this was said, everyone couldn't believe it. Song Zhehao, the investment genius who was famous in the provincial capital, the well-known young entrepreneur, and the one who was never stingy with charity, actually had his sister appear at the scene. Moreover, because of the small amount of money she donated, she was actually criticized and blamed by everyone.
And it is because of charitable donations, an aspect in which no one here can compare with Song Zhehao.
As soon as Song Zhehao appeared, the people who had just formed a group to target Song Zhuyue, with their attitude of being superior in the soul realm, were slapped in the face.
Seeing the embarrassed looks on the faces of those who had just spoken, Song Zhehao continued, "Although I have made some money over the years, compared to most of the people here, it is nothing."
"But! I dare say that when it comes to charitable donations, I, Song Zhehao, have always been dedicated. Can you please tell me, in which fundraising event have I, Song Zhehao, shirked responsibility, or donated even a penny less than any of you here?"
"The large plaque with the inscription 'Generous Donation' awarded to me by the Provincial Chamber of Commerce is still hanging in the main hall of my house. Could it be that those who brought the plaque to my doorstep with drums and gongs, and with red and colorful decorations, were also blind?"
After hearing this, everyone felt so ashamed that they almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Of course, the most embarrassed and awkward person was Kou Yuanzhi, who took the lead in delivering the plaque.
And those who presented the plaque together were doing so for Kou Yuanzhi's sake; now, they were attacking Song Zhuyue again for Kou Yuanzhi's sake.
Now that Song Zhehao brought up the plaque issue, he was slapping himself in the face with their own hands.
At this moment, Kou Yuanzhi really couldn't stand it anymore. If he let Song Zhehao continue talking, how would he, as the president of the association, have the face to appear in front of his peers in the future?
However, Kou Yuanzhi did not dare to persuade Song Zhehao, for fear that Song Zhehao would not give him face and he would be embarrassed.
So, Kou Yuanzhi winked and asked another colleague to come forward.
The man just walked towards Song Zhehao with a smile, but Song Zhehao waved his hand to tell him not to speak, without showing any mercy.
Song Zhehao stared at Ni Ning straight, making Ni Ning feel cold on her back and not daring to look him in the eye.
At this moment, Ni Ning really wanted to slap herself hard a few times. Why did she jump out to embarrass this person? Couldn't she just get the advantage honestly and stop being a good boy?
Watching Song Zhehao walking towards her step by step, Ni Ning's heart was pounding, knowing that he would definitely grab her and not let her go. She felt both afraid and regretful.
But Song Zhehao doesn't care whether you regret it or not. He originally disliked Ni Ning very much and didn't want to pay attention to her before. Now she jumped out to provoke him. Song Zhehao felt that it was unnecessary to show this woman any mercy.
Song Zhehao walked up to Ni Ning, stared at her, and asked loudly, "You just said that I earned ill-gotten gains. Today you must explain clearly to me what illegal things I have done. If you can't explain it clearly, then I will call the newspaper and the police."
When Ni Ning heard the names of these two places, her face turned pale with fright, her lips kept trembling, and she couldn't utter a word. She looked at Song Zhehao with a pleading look, but when she saw Song Zhehao's indifferent look, Ni Ning seemed to have fallen into a bottomless dark abyss, feeling extremely desperate and helpless.
Ni Ning knew that in this day and age, if a girl went to the police station, her reputation would be ruined, regardless of whether she was right or wrong. Coupled with the newspaper's hype, it was just adding fuel to the fire.
If Song Zhehao really did that, how could I live in school? There are several students in the school whose hometowns are in Hucheng. If they go back to their hometowns and tell everyone about it, then will I still be able to get married?
Thinking of this, even though Ni Ning was too embarrassed to speak, she still lowered her head under pressure and pleaded, "I just said it without meaning it. Please forgive me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zhehao immediately said, "That won't do! When you say that, it seems like I'm using my power to bully others. I just want you to make your statement clear. Otherwise, if this gets out, people who don't know will think that I, Song Zhehao, really did that kind of thing."
Seeing that Song Zhehao refused to give up, Ni Ning was really scared. She had never felt as helpless as she did today, so she had no choice but to cast a pleading look at Kou Yuanzhi.
Ni Ning knew that Kou Yuanzhi was the only person present who could help her out.
Seeing Ni Ning's pleading eyes, Kou Yuanzhi glared at her fiercely, feeling extremely resentful. This country girl didn't just stay put, but had to jump out and cause trouble for him. Now, she not only offended Song Zhehao, but also made himself lose face.
The more Kou Yuanzhi thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply glared at the Second Wife beside him and cursed in a low voice, "Dog meat really can't be served at a banquet. I should have known not to bring you out to embarrass myself."
As for the second wife, Ni Ning's aunt, her arrogance just now disappeared without a trace, like a deflated ball. She only secretly hated Ni Ning in her heart. Not only did she not win face for her, but she also slapped herself in the face.
Looking at the gloating expressions of Mrs. Kou and her daughter, the hatred in his heart became even stronger. He thought that he would never help Ni Ning's family again. They were all blood-sucking mosquitoes. They took advantage of you and wanted to hurt you again.
Although Kou Yuanzhi didn't want to show up, after all, he was the one who brought Ni Ning up, and he was the one who took the lead in organizing today's event. Even if Song Zhehao didn't give him face, he had to lick his face!
Kou Yuanzhi smiled awkwardly, easing the tense atmosphere. He walked towards Song Zhehao and said affectionately, "Brother Song, you've gone too far! You, Brother Song, are kind-hearted and devoted to your country. Everyone can see this. Who dares to say otherwise?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present echoed them and praised the good deeds Song Zhehao had done in the past.
Seeing that Song Zhehao had listened, Kou Yuanzhi was immediately overjoyed and continued, "It was my fault today. I called this ignorant person and made Brother Song so angry. I apologize here. I hope Brother Song will give me some face and forgive my fault!"
Hearing Kou Yuanzhi's plea, Song Zhehao nodded and said nothing more.
After all! Kou Yuanzhi was also unaware of the drama Ni Ning was performing today. Although Kou Yuanzhi was smooth, he was not a bad person by nature. In the past, when Song Zhehao first settled in the provincial capital, Kou Yuanzhi also helped him a lot.
Now that Kou Yuanzhi has begged for mercy, we can still give him this face.
Song Zhehao said, "Alright! Since President Kou has already pleaded for mercy, if I continue, it will seem unreasonable. But I don't want to hear such fabricated words again in the future."
Seeing that Song Zhehao agreed, Kou Yuanzhi immediately said with joy: "Of course! Of course! It will never happen again!"
After that! Kou Yuanzhi glanced at Ni Ning coldly from the corner of his eye, and in front of everyone, he cursed loudly and viciously: "You ignorant thing! Who told you to come here and speak nonsense? You are so shameless! Get out of here right now!"
Ni Ning was already feeling bad after being slapped in the face. She had finally waited for Kou Yuanzhi to come to her rescue. Now, she was being scolded like this in front of everyone, especially her teacher and classmates. It was really humiliating.
Ni Ning couldn't bear it any longer. She burst into tears, covered her blushing face, and ran out of the lobby as if escaping from danger.
After scolding Ni Ning away, Kou Yuanzhi glared at the Second Wife and scolded her too, "Get out of here too!"
The second wife's eyes also turned red, and she fled as if escaping from disaster.
She knew in her heart that after what happened today, Kou Yuanzhi would never take her out again.
Ni Ning! She hated this name to the core.
The rat droppings were cleaned up and the event went on as normal. When Song Zhehao came on stage, everyone turned their eyes to him.
Song Zhehao stood in front of the donation box and said, "Everyone, let me be honest. Although I've made some money over the years, my sister has always been self-reliant and never spent a penny from our family. Today, I will donate 100,000 yuan in cash in my sister's name!"
When these words were spoken, everyone couldn't believe it, looked at them in amazement, and sighed.
One hundred thousand yuan! That's a huge sum of money!
Although Song Zhehao's business has been going smoothly in recent years, donating so much money at once will not bankrupt him, but it will still take away all his savings.
When Kou Yuanzhi heard this number, his eyes were filled with shock. He thought that Song Zhehao did this for him. Song Zhehao gave him so much face. If he didn't teach Ni Ning a lesson, he would really be ashamed of Song Zhehao.
After the event, Song Zhehao sent Song Zhuyue back to school.
For Song Zhuyue, what happened tonight seemed like a dream.
Song Zhuyue didn't expect that Ni Ning would target her, and she didn't expect that Song Zhehao was also involved. It was he who came forward to rescue her.
What no one expected was that Song Zhehao was not only a small drug dealer, he had become a famous young entrepreneur in the provincial capital.
But if you think about it carefully, what is there to be surprised about?
Ever since I decided to go to a girls' high school, Song Zhehao has always been hard on me, but what has he done for me?
This Song Zhehao made her feel a little unfamiliar, but she also felt a sense of closeness to him, the kind of closeness that she could rely on.
For the first time, she felt that family love was such a gentle feeling.
Song Zhuyue said, "You donated so much money, aren't you afraid of going bankrupt?"
Song Zhehao raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry! I've left the money for your dowry."
Song Zhuyue snorted and said, "I won't get married! How can I be alone?"
Song Zhehao sighed regretfully and said, "What a pity! Then all my money will just rot away."
Suddenly, both of them burst into hearty laughter.
Originally, the road from the hotel to the school was quite far, but the two of them chatted and laughed as they walked, and arrived there unknowingly.
After entering the school gate, Song Zhuyue turned around and said, "I'm here, brother, please be careful."
This was the second time Song Zhuyue called Song Zhehao "brother".
