"This is absolutely not a sound from the mortal world! Is this what I came here to hear?"
"Damn it, I almost exploded on the spot. What the hell is that damn Ma Yamu doing? Is he deliberately torturing us?"
At this moment, Mayamu was also stunned. The piercing sound of electricity seemed to be a death knell to his ears, making him shudder involuntarily.
Ma Yamu covered his forehead, feeling dizzy and lightheaded. He knew that he had no chance of turning the tide.
The scene descended into complete chaos, with the reporters unable to contain themselves any longer and launching into a tirade of insults.
Seeing that things were about to go wrong, the vice president who had spoken earlier glanced at the already swaying Ma Yamu and hurriedly ran up to the stage to turn off the recording pen.
The unpleasant sound finally disappeared, but everyone present was experiencing tinnitus and couldn't understand what the others were saying; they could only see their lips moving incessantly.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will all be insults directed at Mayamu's entire family, or even her ancestors for eighteen generations.
They made such a grand gesture, but it ended up being a fizzle out, which infuriated the reporters.
These guys have gang connections, so how could they possibly have good tempers?
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became noisy, with some people wishing they could go on stage and beat up Ma Yamu.
However, considering that it was being broadcast live, they had no choice but to give up.
He was just spewing profanities.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless and fearing being implicated, the employees of Guanrong simply ran away.
At this moment, no matter how high Ma Yamu's prestige is, when it comes to his own interests, it is difficult for anyone to stand by him through thick and thin.
Ultimately, human nature is mostly selfish.
How could anyone possibly intend to perish with a company destined for failure?
Most of these employees have families and prioritize their families over their bosses, with whom they have a superior-subordinate relationship.
At this moment, Mayamu looked like a pitiful person who had been abandoned by the whole world.
He is now all alone; his wife and children left him long ago and went abroad.
This time, he chose to go all in, but unfortunately, he still failed.
However, his good friend, the vice president, did not leave him. Instead, he stood firmly by his side and supported him.
"Mr. Ma, we're not without a chance. You need to cheer up."
Hearing the vice president's words, Ma Yamu snapped out of her daze, wiped her face, and feigned composure, saying:
“You’re right. I, Mayamu, have weathered so many storms. How could I possibly fall here?”
He glanced behind him and saw that the office was empty; all the employees had left. However, the vice president did not intend to tell Ma Yamu about it, so as not to discourage him.
Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "Logically speaking, as long as the voice recorder isn't broken, it should be able to record."
"But there's nothing here right now. Is it possible that Huo Wenyao has some kind of anti-eavesdropping device around him?"
The vice president's words made Ma Yamu feel as if the clouds had parted and the fog had cleared.
Yes, that must be the case.
The voice recorder was not damaged, and the only explanation for this situation is what the vice president said: Huo Wenyao has anti-eavesdropping devices.
At this moment, Ma Yamu was filled with hatred for Huo Wenyao. This guy was simply too cunning. No wonder he didn't care at all; it turned out he had been prepared all along.
Ironically, I hadn't realized it at all. If I had noticed the problem sooner, I wouldn't have lost so much face.
Before long, Ma Yamu will probably become a household name in the entire port.
However, this fame wasn't for anything good; rather, it made him a laughingstock throughout the entire port, like a clown.
"311" hero, always the grand finale.
Ma Yamu glanced at the reporters who were already packing up their equipment and preparing to leave.
He suddenly became a little anxious.
He had hoped to turn things around, but unexpectedly, this incident accelerated his bankruptcy process.
He knew that the most urgent task was to keep the group of reporters calm, otherwise it would be too late to salvage the situation once they left.
Although all citizens of Hong Kong could see this press conference, seeing it is one thing, but how the media reports on it is another.
In his view, it doesn't matter how the citizens slander him; what matters is the attitude of these media reporters towards him.
If he offends these guys, he'll really have a hard time staying in the port in the future.
Thinking of this, Ma Yamu no longer hesitated and ran straight to the microphone.
"Dear journalists, this incident was unexpected, and I never imagined that Huo Wenyao, that despicable man, would have anti-eavesdropping equipment by his side."
“I am deeply sorry for this accident. I hope you can forgive me this time and give me a chance. I will definitely get the evidence against Huo Wenyao and will not let you down.”
After Ma Yamu finished speaking, he glanced at the reactions of the reporters below the stage, but what he saw made him feel a chill in his heart.
Most of the reporters glared at him, their eyes filled with mockery and anger.
Ma Yamu was speechless.
But he forgot that although most reporters had turned off their cameras, several television stations were still broadcasting the entire event live.
What Ma Yamu just said caused an uproar among the port residents watching on television.
So you've been putting on a show all this time, just to make a fool of us?
He's just spouting a bunch of nonsense; it's all just Ma Yamu's side of the story and has absolutely no factual basis.
I thought I had a voice recorder as evidence, but it turned out to be a piece of junk.
The port residents were completely outraged.
Even those who disliked Huo Wenyao could only remain silent; Ma Yamu's move was truly awful.
Many people suspect that Ma Yamu may be suffering from persecution complex and should see a psychologist.
The play he wrote, directed, and starred in was itself a farce.
"That damn bastard was a complete waste of my feelings. I actually believed him, but it turns out it was all made up."
"Now the rumors have been exposed. They've gone to any lengths to deal with Huo Wenyao, even abandoning all pretense of dignity. They're truly unworthy of being a tycoon."
“I knew my brother Yao would never do such a thing. In my mind, he is a perfect man.”
"Heizi, speak!"
Some agitated citizens even rushed into Guanrong Auto Dealership, smashing everything in sight, until the police arrived and they dispersed.
From this moment on, Guanrong has become a thing of the past.
The era of a legendary bus tycoon has come to an end.
However, Ma Yamu, who was still at the press conference, refused to accept her fate and tried to turn the situation around.
"Withdraw all the money left in our company's account."
Ma Yamu looked at the company's vice president and said anxiously.
Before the vice president could speak, he ran to the microphone and loudly proclaimed:
"Please give me some face, fellow journalists. To express my apologies, I will host a reception later to warmly welcome you all. I have also prepared a small gift for you."
Mayamu wore a fawning expression and adopted a very humble posture.
When Ma Yamu saw the reporters' faces soften and even smile, she knew that this hurdle was over and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But just then, an untimely voice rang out...
"Mr. Ma, it doesn't seem right to openly bribe journalists, waste public resources, and create fake news like this."
The gate slowly opened, and Huo Wenyao appeared at the entrance with a humble smile on his face, which was very pleasant.
Behind him followed Tian Yangsheng, Qiu Gang'ao, and others, all staring intently at the crowd.
However, neither Lok Wai-ching nor Fong Sze-wai were seen with him.
Meanwhile, the two women had already returned to their respective TVB and ATV teams.
Ignoring the covetous glances, the two women turned their attention to Huo Wenyao at the door, exchanged a secret look, and couldn't help but smile.
The two women were smart enough to know that their relationship with Huo Wenyao was not yet appropriate to be revealed, so they did not choose to travel with him.
Their current identities are similar to those of Huo Wenyao's previous undercover work, which can play a significant role at crucial moments.
Before Huo Wenyao's television station is successfully established, it's best for Fang Siwei and Le Huizhen to stay in their original positions.
It is believed that the senior management of TVB and ATV will not easily give up their two leading actresses.
After all, the resources and effort required to promote a newcomer to a new position are unimaginable.
It's not as simple as just increasing exposure; the behind-the-scenes operations are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Both women have top-notch figures and looks; even in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, where beauties abound, they would be among the best.
Of course, body shape and appearance are important, but the most important thing is to appeal to the audience.
In recent years, TVB and ATV have had viewership ratings far exceeding those of other television stations, precisely because of the presence of two leading actresses, Lok Wai-ching and Fong Siu-wai.
Being able to win over the audience is a considerable skill, and both women possess this charm.
