Zhang Yang nodded. “Of course. Without income, how can we help the weak? Although we’re doing public welfare, we still have to ensure our survival first. Otherwise, how can we continue? There are still so many weak people waiting for us to help. How can we ignore them and stand by?”
He was high and mighty. The more he spoke, the more sense he made.
Perhaps he had even convinced himself.
His voice became louder and louder as he said to all the reporters, “Therefore, at that time, we thought that Lu Bei had done something wrong and wanted to mediate things in private. We hoped Lu Bei could pay Wang Jiarou a sum of money to help her get through the crisis. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we naturally can’t ask Lu Bei for money like before. However, I’ve also made it clear that I apologized to Lu Bei. I wonder what else is there to doubt?”
The reporters nodded repeatedly. Zhang Yang’s words were indeed reasonable.
Lu Bei stood on the stage, his lips curving up as he watched him perform.
After he finished speaking, Lu Bei raised the printed document in his hand and said, “So, you asked for 50 million yuan for Wang Jiarou?”
The reporters’ gazes focused on Zhang Yang again. Clearly, 50 million was too high a number.
Zhang Yang’s forehead was covered in sweat. Without waiting for him to explain, Lu Bei continued to take out more documents. “It’s fine if you wanted 50 million from me. Let’s not talk about it now. Previously, you dealt with three consecutive emotional disputes. In the first case, it was a dispute between the mistress and the real estate big shots in the capital. The second case was regarding the storm caused by the ex-girlfriend of the second young master of a media tycoon family. The third case involved the ex-wife of a sports star asking for compensation. From these three cases, you helped your client get 60 million, 80 million, and 30 million dollars from these big shots respectively. However, you only gave your weak clients 20 million, 30 million, and 10 million dollars respectively. The money you received was far more than 50%. Not only is this not in line with your so-called charitable nature, but you practically embezzled the so-called compensation!
“Zhang Yang, you keep saying that you’re doing charity work to help the weak seek justice and earn money. However, what you’ve secretly obtained has nothing to do with charity at all. You even embezzle money and earn a lot from it!
“Not only that, but when those victims who were really in trouble came to you for help, you didn’t care at all. You used being busy as an excuse to tell them that you couldn’t take on so many cases. In reality, it was only because there was no profit to be made, and there was no explosive point for you to operate!
“You say you help the weak, but the people you help aren’t weak at all. It’s just that you can see high profits in them! It’s also in them that you can use the fame of famous celebrities to attract more fans for you. That way, your organization, and various accounts will get more attention and be able to monetize faster to make money!
“Zhang Yang, you keep saying that you stand on the high ground of righteousness and morality, but you’re only standing on the interests of money and fame.
“What’s the matter? You’ve been taking advantage of the fact that those celebrities don’t want to get too involved with you so that you can make a lot of money out of it. Now that you’re at a dead end, you want to apologize?’
“The distress you’ve caused me and the emotional distress you’ve caused my fans has affected me and my agent’s work. It has taken up so much of our social resources. You want me to forgive you, shake your hand and make peace with you, and create a happy atmosphere in front of the reporters? That’ll only help you increase the popularity of your company and accounts. You want me to smile at you after being used by you?
“How simplistic of you! I don’t want to be a man who repays evil with good! How is that fair?”
Lu Bei stood on the stage and scolded Zhang Yang until his face turned red and white. He was speechless.
The reporters could not help but want to applaud Lu Bei. They did not expect a young boy who looked delicate and refined to be so carefree when he spoke. He even made an old fox like Zhang Yang speechless.
Zhang Yang had truly found himself at a dead end this time.
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows lazily and sized up Zhang Yang. He was clearly very annoyed. He knew that he was too anxious to succeed this time and had even forgotten that if he was not careful, he would not only offend Lu Bei but also Mr. Lu behind him.
Zhang Yang forced a smile and said, “Lu Bei, I’m really sorry about this matter. I didn’t expect that what Wang Jiarou said was completely untrue. No matter what, I know that I was wrong. After this, I’ll release a public apology. We can discuss the rest in private. Please be magnanimous and let me off this time!”
His words were quite sincere, mainly because he was afraid of Lu Heting’s strength.
As the saying went, one should not hit a smiling person. He felt that it was about time for Lu Bei to restrain himself. In this circle, the more people one offended, the worse it was.
Lu Bei smiled faintly. There was actually a peerless charm in his clear eyes. “I don’t need your apology, and I definitely won’t accept your apology! People and companies like you shouldn’t exist, do you understand?”
Zhang Yang was immediately a little angry. He had already said so much and had also done his best to be humble, but Lu Bei still refused to give up, making him a little unhappy.
There was a hint of complaint in his tone. “Lu Bei, even if there’s nothing going on between you and Wang Jiarou, what about the matter between you and Su Bei? We’re all ordinary people. It’s inevitable that we’ll make mistakes sometimes. Let’s not push each other too hard. We’ve taken things far enough, right?”
When he mentioned Lu Bei and Su Bei, he wanted to remind Lu Bei that he was not that clean either. If things really got out of hand, Lu Heting might not stand on his side. Therefore, he wanted Lu Bei to think about it carefully.
There was a hint of threat in his words. It was just that Zhang Yang’s words sounded quite polite and hid his true emotions.
Lu Bei looked at him again and said, “You don’t have to use the matter with Su Bei to pressure me. I’ll explain it to everyone later.”
When the reporters heard that Lu Bei wanted to explain about Su Bei, they couldn’t help but get stirred up again. With Su Bei’s popularity and reputation, today’s explanation would definitely be impactful. The reporters here would’ve secured their headlines!
