Chapter 345 – What kind of idiot gave up their reputation and peaceful life for a few thousand yuan? (1)
Part of those who attacked Fang JunRong online were water armies and the other part were netizens that were guided by them. Most of them didn’t really hate Fang JunRong to her guts.
They only attacked her for being selfish and stuck up in the past and, with what Boss Liu had shared, their arguments weakened and their points no longer stood.
Much like Boss Liu had said, would a selfish person offer up the White Jade Cream and Detoxification Pills? Everybody knew how profitable the two items were. The Zhang’s medical cream did not remotely measure up to the White Jade Cream and they still asked for 10,000 yuan a bottle.
If Fang JunRong just wanted to make money without any regards, she could have built her own factories and pocketed all of the money herself.
In light of the truth, many went silent. In all honesty, if it was them, they wouldn’t have been able to give up on such lucrative profits. Who doesn’t like money? With the exception of a few naysayers, everyone had mostly dropped the issue of whether Fang JunRong was worthy of the title.
In fact, many started questioning the legitimacy of the video that started all these. It had all happened so quickly. Was there someone purposefully trying to smear Fang JunRong again?
At this very moment, Xichang City’s local news station aired the interview with Mayor Mo.
Che Rongrong was a native of Xichang City. She had been watching the local news with her parents since she was a child and it was a habit of theirs to watch it over dinner.
What their family cared about the most right now was the situation in Dingyang Village. After all, the pictures that they had seen online were awful.
Her mother spoke as she switched to the right channel. “I wonder how the situation in Dingyang Village is right now. I heard the village was quite poor. Even our unit is having a drive so we can send some money over. Many of their houses were buried. They are going to need money to rebuild.”
Che Rongrong set the table. “They were quite lucky this time, there were no casualties. One can always make more money but if you die, then it’s all over.”
“I can’t believe there weren’t any casualties. Didn’t you see the pictures taken by the drone yesterday? Half the village was buried in mud. Did they all evacuate? They must have just said that so as not to cause a panic,” said Che Rongrong’s father, playing devil’s advocate as usual with his what-I-say-is-always-the-truth look.
Che Rongrong did not bicker with her father but merely said, “They will be interviewing the local mayor today. Let’s see what he has to say.”
They had dinner while watching the news. The interview with Mayor Mo finally came on after half an hour.
The reporter: “It was so lucky that Mayor Mo had evacuated the villagers ahead of time. That was the reason why we have no casualties this time.”
Mayor Mo shook his head on the screen. “I can’t take the credit. I wasn’t the reason behind this, it was Boss Fan. I am talking about Fang JunRong, the president of Meifang Corporation. She visited with a child from Dingyang Village and learned of the situation. She was worried that there would be a landslide so she came looking for me immediately. Under her advice, I had the experts look into it. We learned that the situation was not optimistic or I ordered an evacuation.”
Reporter, “Was that the reason why the Dingyang Villagers knelt down in front of Fang JunRong? I have seen the video online as well. Many had a poor impression of Boss Fang because of the video.”
Mayor Mo, “Right, right. After the villagers had learned of it, they felt that Boss Fang had saved their lives and insisted that they had to kneel to her and Boss Fang couldn’t even stop them.”
Mayor Mo looked angry from the television. “We have been very busy with handling the disaster in the last few days and had no idea that someone was attacking Boss Fang because of that. The one who filmed the video and smeared Boss Fang – are you not ashamed of yourself as a resident of Xichang City?
“Boss Fang had been following up on the matters of disaster relief the last few days and she and her daughter have decided to build a factory here, to add some employment opportunities and even donate money to improve our road condition. She has done so much already,I don’t know whether those who badmouthed her have a conscience, but you all owe her an apology!”
