Chapter 406 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting
Although the questions were sharp, Zheng Xiuheng really didn't care at all. It was a bit ironic to say that. Although he had some involvement with Sanlongdong for various reasons in the past, he was really clean at that time. Except for the problem of "black face", Zheng Xiuheng was not afraid of being exposed for everything he did before the collapse of Sanlongdong.
On the contrary, the contact with Kim Sung-chi after leaving Samryung-dong was more dangerous than this. There was also the company's coercion against Lee Yu-ri's ex-boyfriend, and the contract situation of Han Jae-seok.
If these people do not care about the legal problems they may face after being exposed, they can jump out at this time and create a real crisis for Zheng Xiuheng.
However, given the amount of money involved in their gambling, they cannot escape the law no matter from which aspect, not to mention Zheng Xiuheng, who will at most have his reputation ruined, and the actual person in charge is not Zheng Xiuheng. At that time, Hengshou Credit will at most be subject to a comprehensive investigation, the setup will be exposed, someone will come out to take the blame, and the company will be sealed up.
Therefore, it was only after leaving Sanlong Cave that his behavior became truly crisis-ridden. But this is the so-called society, and it is also what Zheng Xiuheng finds strange. You know, he had never thought about this problem before, but today, when he was considering the consequences of the news being exposed, he suddenly discovered this situation that left him speechless.
It is time to prove that external factors are external factors, but the downfall of most people ultimately comes from their own choices.
But it is precisely because of this that Zheng Xiuheng dared to hold a press conference. Who said that his past was so "innocent"...
In Girls' Generation's dormitory, the controversy over Lee Sunkyu's identity was finally settled after she sincerely introduced her past experiences. However, everyone saw the members' unnaturalness, which made Kim Taeyeon helpless. She could only hope that things would get better in the future.
"Taeyeon...me!"
"Stop talking. Family situations are private matters. You did nothing wrong. But what are you looking at now?"
After Kim Taeyeon went to Lee Sunkyu's room, she saw Lee Sunkyu sitting in front of the computer, so she also walked over. However, in response to Lee Sunkyu's apologetic look, she just spoke to comfort her, and she really didn't think there was anything wrong.
But after his attention was completely focused on the display screen, he exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this Senior Xiu Heng?"
Lee Sunkyu nodded, feeling very grateful to Taeyeon. She didn't expect that she would support her so much today.
"I wanted to see if the game that Senior Zheng Xiuheng mentioned was released, but when I entered the homepage, I saw a live video broadcast. It seemed to be a press conference about the news this morning!"
As one of the few women who loves games, Lee Sunkyu was more curious about the game that senior Zheng Xiuheng mentioned than others, rather than simply curious about the music. So after everyone left, she felt embarrassed to stay in the living room and had to go back to her room.
Jin Taeyeon hurriedly moved a stool and sat down. To her, Zheng Xiuheng's matter was much more serious, so she couldn't help but care...
"...and you are an important member of the group. The source of funds for the company under your name is not clean either. Do you have anything to explain about this?"
"Hey, who is this reporter? How can he ask such a question?"
"Uh, I don't know him either!"
Lee Sunkyu was stunned by the question and replied awkwardly. Looking at Kim Taeyeon's indignant look, she felt that Kim Taeyeon at this moment was completely different from before, as if she was more like an ordinary girl.
Zheng Xiuheng in the video naturally spoke.
"As for these, I actually... have nothing to explain!"
"Just like your question is too weird, it is not professional at all. I have read all the revelations you mentioned. Most reports use suspicious words, which seems to indicate that the authenticity of the content is not very certain, but even so, the news is still passed on to the public. I thought I would receive some more targeted questions at the press conference, but the content turned out to be so idiotic. If you ask me if I have any explanation, my answer is of course no. If you are not satisfied with my answer, you can call the police immediately, and I might be a little bit "scared". Of course, if you shout now, "I have evidence", it will even more interesting."
"Actually... I was just going to reply to you with one question: Are you a police officer? But after thinking about it, I decided to say so much to show my respect to my journalist friends!"
"puff!"
"Senior, this is amazing. You actually mocked the reporter directly, and it was Naver..."
Lee Sunkyu widened her eyes and cried out in great surprise, but she felt very happy in her heart. You know, these reporters have a lot of tricks when they bully newcomers, and she didn't like them very much. After all, she was also exposed this morning.
"Next one!"
“The lady on the right !”
"Mr. Zheng Xiuheng, I'm Jin Haiqiu, a reporter from Daum. As you said, these reports this morning are all suspicious. I wonder if you can tell us how true these reports are?"
Zheng Xiuheng: "Of course, the authenticity of these reports is about 50%!"
"Wow!"
There were also noisy voices in the live video, and everyone seemed to be shocked by Zheng Xiuheng's words. If it was 50% true, wouldn't that confirm the fact that he was a gangster?
Then the D agency reporter also got the chance to speak. Perhaps with the lessons learned from Naver, the male reporter spoke very cautiously: "Mr. Zheng Xiuheng, can you tell us more about the inside story of this incident, such as what kind of relationship Mr. Zheng Xiuheng has with the Samryungdong sect? I believe this is also the news that the public is most eager to know now!"
"Of course, but if I were to explain, it might take a long time. If the reporters don't mind me wasting their time..."
"No, no..."
Kim Taeyeon, who was sitting in front of the computer, frowned and looked very worried. She couldn't understand why her senior said that. If so, the reporters would take her words out of context and immediately report her senior as a bad guy.
At this moment, everyone in the antenna was gathered in the practice room, watching the live broadcast together. What happened today was a big deal for everyone. Some were worried about the company, some were worried about the president, and some were worried about their own future. But no matter what, everyone was worried about whether the president would be affected by these reports.
Hong Jin Young folded her hands and prayed. Although the president was a little strict during this period, she was still very grateful to him. In comparison, the president was really nice to people, and he would not get angry even if he made some jokes occasionally. Most importantly, the president was very manly...
"Bless, bless!"
Kang So-ra looked helplessly at Hong Jin-young who kept muttering, as if a fly was flying around her ears. However, she turned her head to look at the screen and her expression became very nervous.
Compared to Zheng Xiuheng's efforts to develop her creative talent, Jiang Su-ra was more concerned about the success of her weight loss plan under high pressure. She never thought that she would be so much better than she imagined after losing weight. As a girl, she was of course excited and thrilled, and at the same time gave more credit to the strict president.
Among these people, Lee Hyori was probably the one with the most complex emotions. She said she was going home to sleep, but in fact she came to the company in the end. Looking at Zheng Xiuheng on the video, Lee Hyori cursed in her heart: "Little bastard, your tone is still so strong, you don't even know what time it is, bastard..."
When everyone was concerned about Zheng Xiuheng, Zheng Xiuheng instantly entered the movie emperor mode... Although he would not do such a thing due to his personality, he became more open-minded after talking with Jin Chengji.
Although I don't really agree with Kim Sung-chi's approach, he is right: "There's nothing wrong with not killing people in order to succeed, but if you don't even dare to hit people, you will naturally never succeed."
Although this is just an example, Zheng Xiuheng has also changed, so he decided to play a role...
"I came to Korea when I was about 19 years old. At that time, I received treatment in the United States for several years, and came to this country after recovery!"
"I think many media and friends who follow me and Antenna know that my relatives have passed away, but what you don't know is that in addition to these facts, they also left a huge debt. Because of the years of treatment, there are naturally high costs. It was only after I came to this country for the first time and met my relatives that I learned about the debt of 200 million!"
Many reporters were thinking that Zheng Xiuheng might make up something to weaken the impact of these events, but they did not expect him to tell such a story.
Looking at the thoughtful reporters below the stage, Zheng Xiuheng's expression was a little dull, but not bitter. With his decadent look, he really had a charming temperament: " I think many reporters should be able to guess that these debts are related to Sanlongdong. This is a fact. But what is more cruel than the fact is that when I arrived in South Korea, the debt had already expired, and something big happened in my family, so I couldn't pay back the money. During that time, we were harassed a lot..."
"But the difference is that I'm stronger than I thought, and I can fight better than I thought. In several conflicts, I beat off those guys who came to harass me several times. But this is not something to be proud of, because the last time I met the gangster boss you mentioned, and he asked me to be his bodyguard for two years, which would forgive most of the debt and I could pay it back in two years!"
"There's no turning back now. I agree!"
"Didn't those reports a few days ago reveal that I was working part-time? In fact, those were all true, because I needed money. I needed money to repay the debt in two years, and I also needed money to take care of my family. So except for the time I was a bodyguard, I spent the rest of my time on part-time jobs. It didn't matter whether it was day or night, or whether it was hard work. At that time, I only cared about how much I was paid. However, compared with the consumption level in Korea, the hourly wages of many part-time jobs are indeed disappointing..."
"Then, I managed to survive for two years. So if you want to say that I am a gang member, to some extent, it seems to be true. After all, I am a bodyguard for bad guys, but it doesn't seem to mean anything!"
"When the Three Dragon Cave was destroyed, I was also summoned to the police station for investigation. Many people I met were also summoned to the police station for investigation. The difference is that after I was investigated, I left the police station and went home, but most of the others were arrested and prosecuted. I think this fully explains the problem!"
"This is probably the experience you want to know about. For me, it is a past that I cannot bear to look back on. But there is nothing shameful about it. At least I have not done anything bad. I even think that I have done better than all my peers. At least I have been working hard to live my life!"
"Okay, if you have any more questions, just keep asking!"
The reporters in the audience fell into a brief silence. The reporter from Agency D was still standing. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mr. Zheng Xiuheng, what year were you born?"
"1985!"
"Wow!"
“You must be kidding!”
