Chapter 469
On the stage, the hostess looked very surprised. She held the microphone and asked Lauren, "President Lin, the 100 million yuan on this plank is..."
The male host hurriedly put on a flustered look and said, "Wrong, it should be written wrong. President Lin has already said that he has donated five million dollars. 100 million dollars, there must be a mistake."
However, his explanation became more and more incomprehensible. The panic on his face made the people below believe him even more. Originally, Lauren had promised him a hundred million yuan, but now it had been temporarily reduced to five million yuan.
For a time, the sound of the discussion almost covered the voice of the host on the stage.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, the hostess on the stage glanced at Lauren and said, "Just now, the donation made by Mr. Lin was only a small misunderstanding. Don't have any other ideas."
The more she said so, the more people thought about it. There were all kinds of speculations and conspiracies. Some people even shouted out directly.
"Mr. Lin, your Lorenzo Road Corporation didn't change your mind on the spur of the moment. You changed the one-hundred-million-yuan donation to five-million-yuan. That's too much. It's less than one-tenth, only twenty-one-tenth!" When the hostess heard this, she looked as if she was explaining for Lauren. She took the microphone and said, "It's not like this. It's a mistake made by the board of buls. President Lin has always donated five million yuan." "President Lin, your company has a large scale of billions of yuan. It's even a wrong amount. The disaster is ruthless now. It's not too much for your company to donate 100 million yuan."
As soon as he said that, a lot of people below him echoed.
"That's right. Such a big company has only donated five million dollars. It's too much."
"This is the capitalist's ugly face. After earning our people's money, if you want them to give it out now, you won't be willing. It's very stingy."
"Since you don't want to donate it, then just don't donate it. There's no need to use the five million yuan as a show. It's disgusting."
...
The process became more and more chaotic, but the director and camera on the scene did not have any intention of stopping the live broadcast. Instead, they frequently shot the scenes at Lauren, Zachary, and Qiao Xiaoxiao, cutting their close-up shots in the pictures.
Lauren looked at the chaotic scene below and her face darkened. Her jade-like hands clenched into fists and burned with rage. She was about to speak when she said, "Everyone, calm down. It's not like you guys..."
However, before Lin Mingyu finished her words, the hostess directly moved the microphone away. Then she said with a gesture of trying to save the trouble, "I think President Lin did this for her own reasons. Although Lorenzo Road Group is large in size, it is still a new company after all. There may still be some difficulties in funding."
It sounded as though he was trying to help Lin Qingyu out of her predicament but he could tell with just a glance that she was trying to reduce the amount of donation he had provided her with.
When the hostess saw that Lauren was about to speak, her eyes flashed and she quickly followed the male host's words. "Yes, President Lin may have his own difficulties. Since money is in trouble, as far as I know, President Lin has another entertainment company with a lot of information. Why don't you let their company's stars perform for tens of millions of disaster reliefs? It can be used to take care of the people in the disaster area and the people in disaster relief. In this way, it will not be a bad way of spiritual donation."
"Well said, it's not necessarily about money. Spiritual funding is equally important. We're looking forward to the artists from Lorenzo Road Entertainment Company coming to the disaster area to show their condolences to the public." The male host said.
The hostess looked at the crowd below, then her eyes fixed on Qiao Xiaoxiao and said, "I saw it. Qiao Xiaoxiao and Miss Qiao are also at the scene. As far as I know, she is an artist from Mrs. Lin's Lorenzo Road Entertainment Company. So I want to ask Miss Qiao to get up and answer, are you willing to go to the disaster area to perform for the people?"
The two hosts' series of acting not only disseminated the fact that Lauren did not donate much on purpose, but also involved the artists of Lorenzo Road Entertainment Company, just as they forced Qiao Xiaoxiao and the others to go to the disaster area to show off.
This kind of thing would get him into trouble one or two times. Whether Qiao Xiaoxiao agreed or not, there would be no benefit for him at all.
If they didn't agree to go to show their sympathy, they would definitely seize the evidence and make a big fuss. They would criticize actors for lack of love and companies for lack of morality and so on.
If he listened to them and agreed to go to the disaster area to show his sympathy, it would indirectly mean that he admitted that Lauren deliberately reduced the donation, and then he would perform as an actor to make up the number. Therefore, just these few sentences had pushed Lauren and Lorenzo Road International into a desperate situation. After this evening party, Lorenzo Road International, Lauren, and Zachary's reputation would definitely be greatly affected. Below the stage, the ordinary audience was still in hot discussion about the donation. Some shrewd people had already faintly noticed that things were unusual this time. After all, such a big chaos had occurred. The TV station authority did not mediate or give any instructions to the live broadcast, but it was already possible to see some problems from the free performance of the two hosts.
"Miss Qiao, please answer my question. Are you willing to go to the disaster area to perform a mourning show?" The hostess asked with a smile, but her words seemed to be threatening.
Qiao Xiaoxiao looked at Lauren on the stage in a dilemma, then looked at Zachary, who was next to him, and wanted to get up and say something.
But at this time, Zachary held Qiao Xiaoxiao down with a gloomy face and then stood up directly in front of everyone's eyes.
"Oh, Dr. Ching, you stand up. You are the big boss of Lorenzo Road Entertainment. What do you think about Miss Qiao's role?" The hostess asked.
Without saying a word, Zachary walked out of his seat and went straight to the center of the stage.
Seeing this, the two hosts could not help but be stunned. They were stunned on the spot and were somewhat at a loss. At this moment, He Jianpeng, who saw this scene from the backstage, smiled coldly and gave an order to the host in his headset, "Let him go up. I'd like to see what he can do."
"In this situation, no matter what he does, there will definitely be a controversy. After this evening party, their reputation will definitely be ruined." He Jianpeng said with a smile.
On the ground, Liang Dong, with a look of revenge on his face, said to He Jianpeng, "Uncle, you are so awesome! Just a few words have made Qin Haodong lose his face. Haha, it's so cool."
He Jian Peng smiled proudly, but then he turned his head and looked at Yu Tiansheng, who was sitting on the other side with an elegant smile on his face. He said, "I'm not bad, but Director Yu is. Such an ingenious idea, only smart Director Yu can think of it."
"Director He, you're too polite!" Yu Tiansheng said faintly with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, which was a situation in which everything was under control. "Let's watch the live broadcast."
"Yes, let's watch the live broadcast. I'd like to see what the kid is going to do on stage." He Jianpeng smiled as he looked away.
In the center of the stage, Zachary directly jumped up and patted the gloomy Lauren gently. Then he grabbed the microphone from the hostess' hand.
"Everyone should be very surprised by what just happened." Zachary said. Many people below heard him and nodded together.
Zachary continued to say, "To tell you the truth, I am also very surprised about what just happened. I don't understand why the official staff just told us that there was a problem with the artilleries and equipment production of our company, and let us donate one last time. As a result, there was a serious mistake in the work of artilleries."
"It turns out that the civil art made a mistake!"
"I knew it! 100 million yuan is too horrible. Which company is willing to donate it?"
...
There was a discussion below. The male host's face changed slightly and said, "It's the matter of props production. Our TV station has indeed made a mistake this time. This kind of thing will never happen again."
Zachary said coldly, "Since both of you know that they made mistakes, what do you mean by saying those words just now? What money can't be used to make up for it by acting as an actor? It's obvious that you are trying to make everyone think that we deliberately reduced the donation, not the mistakes of props."
Hearing Zachary's angry reproach, many people in the audience looked thoughtful. Everyone was smart. The two hosts' words just now were really weird. After hearing Zachary's words, those who had not understood what had happened in one breath immediately became clear-headed at this moment.
However, the male host would not admit it. He smiled and said to Zachary, "Dr. Ching, you may think too much. We were also helping Miss Lim at that time. We don't have the idea you said."
"It seems that you've done well just now," Zachary said coldly.
The male host didn't want to admit it anyway. He looked at Zachary coldly and said, "We really don't have one. Maybe Dr. Ching misunderstood our meaning."
Both sides were about to become a car talker without any results. Right at this time, a loud and clear voice sounded from the audience below. "Even if there really is something wrong with the props, you all have earned us so much money, so what if you donated a hundred million?"
The voice was followed by a chorus of agreement.
"That's right. It's a large company with billions of yuan. What's wrong with donating 100 million?"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"If I had so much money, I would donate one billion directly. I'm not as mean as some people."
...
This time, the host stopped talking and looked at Zachary with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
