Chapter 141: Chapter 141 We Owe President Song an Apology!
The woman cleared her throat twice and slowly began to speak, "Hello everyone, I am a staff member from the Magic Capital Notary Office. Today, I bring you a kinship certification. After thorough investigation by the notary office, we can affirm that Miss Xiao Wan is Mr. Song's cousin once removed. This certificate has been justly notarized and holds legal validity. We welcome public oversight!"
After finishing her speech, the woman exposed the kinship certificate to the public eye.
The reporters upon seeing this urged the photography society to step forward and take pictures.
It was only when they saw the official seal printed on the certificate that everyone realized it was all true!
After all, in such a grand event, if Song Yun dared to falsify information, it would be a dead end!
However, reporters under Nangong Han's command didn't step forward; they collectively remained silent, stunned in place.
What the hell, nobody had told me about this. What do I do now? With the other side presenting compelling evidence, weren't my previous questions just like the antics of a buffoon?
Could the clown actually be me?
Song Yun surveyed the crowd, quite pleased with everyone's expressions.
This evidence was the result of a reminder from Ye Qingqing's father last night; after all, merely guiding public attention to the Nangong Family's affairs would not wash away the slander against Song Yun.
So, early this morning, Song Yun heeded Ye Qingqing's father's suggestion and went for notarization.
"Damn it... did we misunderstand something??? How come the situation has reversed??"
"I told you! With Mr. Song being so handsome, how could he possibly be a scumbag! You all have been bullying the wrong person! My heart aches for our Mr. Song for three seconds, protecting the best Mr.
Song in the world!"
"Holy moly, I think we all owe Mr. Song an apology!"
Online viewers of the live stream were silent, some began to apologize, while a portion was still waiting because it wasn't over yet—who knows if there would be another twist!
On the other side, Nangong Han, enraged, punched the computer.
Zhuang Siheng didn't dare to even breathe heavily next to him; who would have thought that in just a half-day Song Yun could come up with such a cunning and exquisite solution.
Since his own credibility wasn't strong, he simply pulled in officials, who represent the nation's face and naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to falsify documents.
"He got lucky this time, but the upcoming plans won't be so easy to withstand!" Nangong Han ominously said, "Uncle Zhuang, take advantage of the fact that not everyone is aware of this situation yet, and quickly buy up all the stocks under Song Yun's name. Get as much as you can. I believe the next time we meet him in the company's shareholder meeting room, it will be a delightful scene."
...
"I want to start with an apology," Song Yun stood up and bowed. "I am sorry for occupying public resources due to personal reasons."
"But! This incident was not a coincidence, as someone was behind it, fanning the flames! After my investigation last night, I finally traced it to the source!" Song Yun turned on the public screen behind him, displaying a photograph of a person.
Song Yun pointed at the photo and calmly said, "This individual is the mastermind behind the false accusations against me and my cousin once removed, Xiao Wan. His slander has not only caused my companies substantial losses but has also plunged Xiao Wan, an innocent outsider, into unwarranted disgrace, darkening her professional path. Therefore, I have decided to sue this gentleman!"
"Chairman Song, may I ask what kind of justice you seek?" a curious reporter asked. "Do you want him to apologize to restore your reputation, or are you planning to seek financial compensation?"
"I've consulted with a lawyer, and if the judgement is made on the fairest grounds, this person would face a fixed-term imprisonment of over ten years and would also have to compensate for an economic loss of nearly ten million!"
After finishing his statement, Song Yun's expression slowly shifted from serious to gentle, and he smiled as he said, "This incident has also served as a warning for all of us, and I hope that in the future, everyone will approach issues with rationality."
With the issue resolved, a neutral reporter stepped forward to ask, "Chairman Song, we've received news that the charity foundation under your management has established over forty Hope Schools. Is that true?"
Caught off guard by the question, Song Yun hesitated for a moment before Ye Qingqing quickly took over the microphone and replied, "It's true. Upholding our priority on charity, the Ye Corporation has founded its own foundation, and over the years, we've established 47 Hope Schools.
As Song Yun's wife, I am willing to make a promise: in the days to come, the funds we allocate to charity will only continue to increase."
What a great benefactor!
What does the establishment of 47 Hope Schools represent?
An online standard once stated that constructing a Hope School costs at least a million; 47 schools amount to 47 million, and that's not even including the operational costs that follow.
Being able to donate so much money for social contribution, Chairman Song has completely overturned their perception of wealthy people!
After Ye Qingqing spoke, she traced a character in the palm of Song Yun's hand with her finger: Dad.
Song Yun immediately understood that this was the contribution made by Father Ye when he was in power, and now that the Ye Corporation had become part of his company, the accolades had become his halo at this moment.
Rising to his feet, Song Yun earnestly stated, "What my wife just expressed aligns with my own thoughts. I have only one principle: to take care of oneself in times of poverty and to help the world in times of wealth. I believe I have not done enough, and I've decided to vigorously develop rural education projects this year, striving to establish over 100 Hope Schools by the end of the year!"
"Moreover, I personally guarantee to those teachers who travel to remote villages to educate: as long as you teach at a Hope School I've established, your salary will be increased by 5,000 yuan per person per month on top of the existing wages!"
"This subsidy has no time limit!"
Upon hearing Song Yun's words, the reporters were stunned.
Oh my, this handsome guy must be a saint!
Willing to make such a significant contribution to society, from now on, if anyone dares to question Chairman Song's character, countless people will queue up to slap them right across the face!
"Chairman Song, on behalf of all those young people in the mountains longing for education, I bow to you!"
This reporter was himself a college student who had come out from the depths of the mountains. He knew all too well how difficult it was to pursue education in a remote mountainous area, where every year teachers would come but could not endure the harsh conditions. No matter how noble their intentions, they couldn't stay.
This resulted in a high turnover, and during the most difficult times, one teacher would have to handle all subjects from middle school to high school.
Thus, acquiring knowledge depended solely on one's perseverance and talent.
But Chairman Song's initiative would undoubtedly provide these rural teachers with some financial compensation!
Song Yun smiled and pressed down with his hand as he spoke, "This is all that I ought to do."
"Chairman Song, we at the Small River Daily have received information that you plan to open large shopping centers nationwide, is that so?"
Song Yun nodded, and the reporter continued, "As I understand it, not every location is profitable for setting up a shopping center. According to our newspaper's experts, each new shopping center you open will roughly lose about 30 million! May I ask, what motivates you to persevere in doing this?"
