The female reporter's last sentence was very direct, and everyone's eyes were directed at Cheng Ji.
Before he raised the microphone and had time to speak, the projection screen behind him suddenly lit up.
A man in a hospital gown appeared on the screen, with wounds all over his body.
Cheng Ji recognized him as the man in the underground parking lot of the mall that day.
What does this have to do with him?
Cheng Ji was a little confused and stood quietly by the side, watching what the man was going to say.
Shangguan Qing, standing in the audience, half-closed his eyes, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, and waited for the show to begin.
"Hello everyone, I am the director of Hengxin Medical Institution. I am sorry to meet you in this way. Today I am here to expose the true face of Cheng Ji, the president of Cheng Corporation!"
"Two days ago, Mr. Cheng and I failed to reach an agreement on cooperation, so he arranged for someone to threaten me and force me to sign the contract. I refused, and he injured me."
He choked up in his throat and spoke with tears in his eyes, always deliberately showing his injuries while talking.
People always sympathize with the weak, and it is hard not to believe him with the look on his face.
"If I hadn't gritted my teeth and refused to sign, I might never have known that this medical charity was fake! They are just trying to trick the public into donating money and then enrich themselves! Don't be fooled!"
The man's words and actions were sincere, and if Shangguan Qing hadn't known that this was a show, she would have believed it.
All of a sudden, the guests in the audience began to talk about it.
Cheng Ji's face instantly turned as dark as ink. His hand holding the microphone trembled slightly, but he forced himself to maintain his composure.
Reporters around here smelled the hot topic and rushed forward.
"Mr. Cheng, what's your explanation for this?"
"Is what this director said true? Is it true that you have enriched yourself in your charity?"
"Mr. Cheng, have you arranged for anyone to hurt anyone?"
There was a commotion in my ears, and Cheng Ji's voice sounded particularly firm.
“Faced with the other party’s unsubstantiated accusations, Cheng Group will arrange for the legal department to reasonably hold the other party accountable through judicial procedures.
The most valuable thing about a person is his brain, and rumors stop at the wise. "
He almost pointed out: Whoever believes it is a fool!
Looking around, the eyes of the people below the stage were still filled with distrust and doubt.
It was as if he had become the target of public criticism.
Once capital is associated with greed for money, everyone will subconsciously believe it to be true.
It's human nature because of inertial thinking.
The crowd below the stage surged like a tide, and the noise almost blew the roof off.
Sudden.
A ragged middle-aged woman broke through the security line and rushed into the central area crying, her eyes full of despair and anger.
"Everyone, please make the decision for me!"
With trembling hands, she took out a stack of yellowed medical records from her arms, raised them high and waved them.
“My son believed in their charity and accepted their donations to be sent to the hospital for treatment, but they ended up collecting money in disguised forms, including high meal and hospitalization fees.
In the end, I spent all my money and my son still couldn’t be saved! You are liars!"
Tears mixed with accusations; the only sound left in the entire venue was the echo of her grief.
At this moment, all eyes were focused on Cheng Ji again.
His face became even paler and gloomier.
He ordered Li Yang, "Bring me her medical records."
The charity has rescued hundreds of people, and all of them have received free treatment, including free meals in the hospital. There is no such thing as high disguised charges.
This was a premeditated frame-up.
Li Yang handed the medical record brought by the woman to Cheng Ji.
He glanced at the name of the hospital above and understood everything.
"Which hospital did you say your son is in?"
The woman's tone suddenly became a little inadequate, but her eyes remained firm, "Of course it's under your Cheng Group, otherwise why would I come here?"
Cheng Ji sneered, his eyes calm and composed, "The hospital listed on the medical record is a community hospital. I'm sorry, it doesn't match what you said."
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman was speechless and looked around frantically, feeling embarrassed as if her lie had been exposed.
"I...I got the wrong medical record. I was treated here!"
"You are just trying to shirk responsibility! I won't live any longer. This is unjust! Give me back my son!"
She sat on the ground and rolled around unreasonably, her crying drowning out all the other discussions.
The security guard quickly stepped forward and tried to take the grief-stricken woman away from the scene, but she struggled so hard that he couldn't pull her away.
Faced with such a topic that comes right to their doorstep, there is no reason not to seize it.
They swarmed in thousands, ignoring the obvious truth, and continued to question Cheng Ji.
"Mr. Cheng, in the face of such accusations, how do you plan to regain public trust?"
“Do you admit that there is mismanagement in the charity, which has led to damage to the rights of patients?”
“Please respond positively. Is there really a hidden secret behind your charity?”
He tried to explain, but the faces of these reporters showed that they had no interest in the truth and just wanted topics.
This is the media in modern society, the media that controls public opinion.
It's so fake that it's chilling.
"I'll give you an explanation!"
Shangguan Qing stood up calmly, and everyone's attention was attracted by her.
Shangguan Qing walked to the center of the stage, holding a small recorder tightly in his hand.
He looked around with a firm and powerful gaze, "After listening to the recordings here, I believe everyone's doubts will be solved."
She glanced at the woman sitting on the ground sobbing, her eyes turned cold.
"Including this big sister, I hope you can still make as much noise as you do now after listening to this."
As she gently pressed the play button, a tense and subtle atmosphere instantly filled the air.
In the recording, Qin Hao's voice was clearly audible, with a hint of cunning and threat.
"...bringing people to cause chaos..."
Then, a man's voice came, which sounded helpless but also carried a hint of reluctance.
"...I failed once, I won't fail again..."
After listening to this recording, everyone's expressions changed from confusion to astonishment, and then to anger.
It was as if I had witnessed a carefully planned business conspiracy.
"If the journalists and media still doubt the Cheng Group after listening to the recording, then I may think that you are also the agents arranged by the other party."
After Shangguan Qing said this, the reporters in the audience fell silent.
The middle-aged woman in the audience was also taken away by the security guards in a daze.
However, some reporters who were unwilling to give up questioned, "Is this play directed and performed by Mr. Cheng himself, in order to attract more attention to the charity event?"
Facing the reporter's sharp questioning, Cheng Ji's face darkened.
"Would you stage a show and throw dirty water on yourself?"
Of course not, no one is stupid enough to joke about their own career.
The reporter immediately shut up and took back the microphone.
The farce finally stopped and the charity event ended hastily. Reporters, media and guests left one after another, and the venue became empty and quiet.
Cheng Ji looked at Shangguan Qing beside him, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Thanks."
"Isn't it insincere to just say thank you after helping you so much?"
She crossed her arms over her chest, raised her head and raised the corners of her mouth, her tone was a little naughty and arrogant.
The whole person is bright, cute and exudes charm.
His eyes were stunned for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to retract his emotions.
"Then how do you want me to thank you?"
