Chapter 100 Three Questions for the Reporter

The atmosphere was somewhat tense, and Cheng Mai disliked this atmosphere, especially since Cheng Ming's current attitude of being solely focused on her only made her feel inexplicably annoyed.

If it's truly for her own good, then what about the previous twenty years?

Is slapping you and scolding you just to give you a surprise?

What's the difference between this mental illness?
"No matter what, I will not return the management rights of the Cheng Group to you, so just give up on that idea." Cheng Mai's tone was impatient, hoping that Cheng Ming would understand and leave immediately.

Cheng Ming naturally sensed the impatience in those words, but after giving Cheng Mai a deep look, he left.

"He's sick," Cheng Mai couldn't help but curse.

Shang Xingjian nodded slightly, acknowledging Cheng Mai's assessment of Cheng Ming.

The matter of the Cheng Group is urgent, and the proposals of Cheng Mai and Shang Xingjian need to be implemented. Of course, she was only making the proposals to Shang Xingjian, since she now has more say than Shang Xingjian in Xuanhe Technology.

Yuncheng needs to be dealt with, and the factory in the mountains also needs to be built. Rest assured, Chengmai has already made plans. Currently, it's about producing spare parts for electronic products. When Zhihuihui builds the signal tower, the imam will pick up the goods on-site.

In the afternoon, the business manager asked Yang Fan to contact an expert in this field and took Zhihui to meet him. The expert was an old man. They thought that the Cheng Group wanted to get involved in this area, but it turned out that he just wanted Yang Fan to take a child as a student.

Isn't this nonsense?

This child looks to be only seven or eight years old. Even if he is a genius, he should go to a regular school.

Cheng Mai wanted to explain, but Zhi Huihui grabbed her wrist. She could handle it herself; she had seen too many people who judged others by their appearance.

Watching Zhihuihui lead the old professor away, Chengmai was still a little worried. Shang Xingjian, true to his reputation as a foodie, had been eating ever since he came in.

"Don't worry, she can handle it. If she can't even handle something this simple, then what's the point of all this trouble to find her?"

Cheng Mai glanced at him silently. "Just a reminder, you only went to find this person because you suddenly remembered him by chance. You didn't put in any effort."

Shang Xingjian smiled and did not refute her words.

In any case, a person's reputation is something they give themselves, and how they are perceived is entirely up to them.

Zhihui took the old professor out for a while, and when they returned, the old professor's attitude changed. He became very enthusiastic and took the initiative to accept Zhihui as his apprentice.

Cheng Mai looked at Zhi Huihui, who looked at him like a proud little peacock.

Okay, she's overthinking it.

Having resolved Zhihuihui's matter, Chengmai felt relieved.

Zhi Huihui was taken away by the old professor. Cheng Mai and Shang Xingjian left after finishing their meal. However, someone leaked Cheng Mai's itinerary, and as soon as he left the hotel, he was surrounded by reporters.

"Chairman Cheng, such a big thing has happened to the Cheng Group, yet you haven't done anything about it. What are your plans at present?"

"There are rumors that the Cheng Group will be laying off a large number of employees, starting with people with disabilities. The Cheng Group has a tradition of hiring people with disabilities since its inception and has gained a lot of positive influence in society. Isn't Chairman Cheng afraid of losing public support by laying off people with disabilities now?" "Chairman Cheng has always kept himself and the company so separate. Is it because he has long been prepared to close down the Cheng Group?"

One question after another came in, but Cheng Mai remained coldly indifferent as he watched the reporters ask their questions.

"First, is what happened at the Cheng Group a big deal? If it is, then you're just ignorant."

"Secondly, rumors are not the truth. Just because there are rumors that I'm going to lay off employees, does that mean I have to? If there were rumors that you were my son, would you call me 'Mom' now?"

"Third, if the Cheng Group can't even solve such a small problem with its cash flow, then the public should be even more suspicious that the Cheng Group is going to collapse."

Cheng Mai coldly swept his gaze over the reporters present. "I don't know who instigated you to ask me such a brainless question. Since you're here, let me ask you this too: Since the establishment of Cheng's Group, has it ever done anything that harms society? The total amount of donations to poverty alleviation by major companies in City A each year has exceeded 10 billion yuan. Have you ever thought about reporting that? When many companies in City A were hiring disabled people, you didn't report it extensively. But because of a baseless rumor, you're going to stand up for those disabled people? When they were struggling to find jobs, did you ever think about reporting relevant information to help them?"

"If you don't have either, then shut up."

Cheng Mai's voice was firm and resolute. The reporters at the scene only dared to whisper among themselves, and no microphones were shoved in front of her again.

"The business world is not the entertainment industry. If you really want to write about other people's gossip, you might as well switch careers and become a paparazzi. Reporters on financial channels can criticize others, but please understand your own position. You are reporters, not paparazzi."

"Is it true that Chairman Cheng said that customers who purchased Cheng's Group's electronic products in the past five years can return them by providing proof of purchase and usage period? This is a large sum of money. Since Chairman Cheng thinks this is not Cheng's Group's fault, why should we pay for it?"

"How do you know I didn't file a claim?" Cheng Mai retorted.

She's not stupid; whoever cheated her should pay for it.

As soon as Cheng Mai finished speaking, the reporters below fell silent. This young lady, who used to be just a pretty face in the entertainment industry, was truly different now.

"I'm sorry, our Chairman Cheng has no interview scheduled for today. Please leave." Yang Fan rushed over immediately because someone had been live-streaming the event from the beginning, and she had seen it.

"The Cheng Group will hold a press conference to discuss the follow-up details, but this is a private time now, please leave first." Yang Fan stood in front of Cheng Mai, separating Cheng Mai from the reporters. "Chairman Cheng, please leave first, I will handle things here."

Yang Fan brought bodyguards with him.

Merchant Jian, who had been watching the show intently, seemed to only just realize what was happening. He rubbed his neck and glanced at the reporters. "Can we leave now?"

Cheng Mai responded and was pulled away by Shang Xingjian by the wrist.

Someone in the crowd took a picture of the two leaving.

Even after getting into the car, Cheng Mai still looked at Shang Xingjian with suspicion, "You didn't say a word all day, what were you doing?"

"I have to save this moment of looking so handsome for you," Shang Xingjian said, looking for praise. "As for what I did, you'll see."

Cheng Mai became increasingly curious. Given Shang Xingjian's stingy character, he probably hadn't done anything good.

"What did you do to those reporters?" He was so quiet just now; he must have been doing something with his divine sense again.
