Chapter 120: Public Lover

Netizens flooded with comments, expressing moved sentiments.

Xiao Ming instantly became the hero in everyone's heart.

By this point, many media outlets that had previously heavily reported the news of Xiao Ming being rich but unkind also spoke up, expressing apology and admiration toward Xiao Ming.

"We should sincerely apologize to Mr. Xiao Ming."

The man in the video was certainly not acting for hype; moreover, this video was released by the rescue team and carries sufficient authority.

Using such a method to seek attention—only a brainless person would do that.

Someone with such courage and dedication should be wealthy, should be admired by all, should possess a grand villa like Yuxi Villa, and should drive a luxurious supercar.

Under the proof of that rescue team video, Xiao Ming's conduct gained everyone's approval, and netizens also spoke up apologies for their previous misunderstanding of Xiao Ming.

In a short time, Xiao Ming became popular again, popular across the entire net.

As for the boy who, due to that accident, could never stand up again in his life, everyone could only express sympathy.

After all, his tragedy was caused by the disaster, not by human action.

That was an adult boy; regardless of whether Xiao Ming said to rescue women and children first, or following the rescue team's original suggestion to save in order, that boy was ultimately the last to be rescued.

Because his position was originally behind Xiao Ming.

His tragedy had nothing to do with Xiao Ming; the disaster is merciless, and there's nothing that can be done.

All we can say is that his fate was bad.

And Xiao Ming, in his conduct during the disaster, after being rescued, as a wealthy person, donated aircraft and supplies to the rescue team, all of which received unanimous praise from netizens.

As Xiao Ming grew hotter online, some of his information was also dug up by the all-powerful netizens.

When netizens learned he was still single, they all exploded.

Those women all said: "So rich, yet so upright, this is practically my dream male god; I really want to take the initiative, to have a story with him, and after having a story, I would also have children with him."

Xiao Ming not only became the nation's father-in-law, but also a public lover.

He became the man that all single women want to marry.

Rich, warm, courageous, responsible—what man like this wouldn't be liked?

If one could be with such a man, how wonderful would that be?

……

Inside Yuxi Villa.

Seeing netizens' attitude toward Xiao Ming undergo such a great shift—from being shouted at by everyone, to becoming the object of admiration and envy for all men, and the object all women wanted to possess—Xiao Yunzhe and his two siblings were all stunned.

The several children were completely shocked; their father, this is practically more popular than a current top star.

After recovering from the shock, the three siblings excitedly flung themselves to Xiao Ming's side, overjoyed.

"Dad, you finally don't have to be scolded by those netizens anymore; I was just saying, you were never that kind of person—what right do they have to smear you so? My dad is the best person in this world."

Xiao Jingrou leaned against Xiao Ming's arm, pouting with a wronged look, and said.

"You child, hehe!" Seeing how the children defended him so, Xiao Ming's heart warmed immensely.

He gave a light smile and said some soothing words to the children.

After the children gradually calmed down, Xiao Ming and the children glanced at each other, and then everyone laughed in unison.

Xiao Ming felt, however, somewhat helpless; his online fame kept growing—people fear fame, pigs fear getting fat—after glancing at netizens' comments, he sighed helplessly.

He went from being the nation's father-in-law from the start to becoming the object that all women across the net want to possess, and the object men envy.

Such honor, he does not want it at all.

At this moment, that video proving his innocence is still heating up.

At the same time, a report about Xiao Ming, once released, was pushed by netizens to an unprecedented height.

At the beginning of that report, it first stated Xiao Ming's identity: "Wealthy, what a wealthy person should look like—we finally have a clear answer. Mr. Xiao Ming, CEO of Minghui Jitian, deserves everyone's respect."

Next came praise for Xiao Ming: "Currently, the masses are all expressing their apologies to Xiao Ming, but no one knows what Mr. Xiao Ming has done for our country and our compatriots over these years."

Afterward, it was like opening an awards ceremony, listing Xiao Ming's past good deeds one by one.

One, the construction of schools in impoverished areas: over the past twenty-plus years, Xiao Ming has funded the building of schools in more than fifty regions, spending several hundred million.

"These projects are entirely funded by him alone, building schools so that children in impoverished areas can attend; the children's future is the nation's future—for the country and the people, I lead the masses in thanking Mr. Xiao Ming for everything he has done."

Two, assisting state-owned enterprises' development.

"Over these years, Xiao Ming has cumulatively donated tens of billions to assist……"

This report runs a full forty minutes; Xiao Ming's glorious achievements are so many they seem impossible to finish speaking of!

This report, forwarded by caring netizens to various platforms, the already hot Xiao Ming once again captured the hearts of tens of thousands of netizens!

Through this report, everyone clearly realized that, back when no one knew who Xiao Ming was, he had already done so much for the country and the people!

Through the report, netizens roughly calculated that, over the past twenty-plus years, the money Xiao Ming has donated amounts to hundreds of millions of billions!

People have seen many rich people who donated a mere one or two hundred million and got heavily reported, whereas Xiao Ming has done a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times more than them, yet he has always been silently giving; if it weren't for this amusement park incident involving him, he would still have been preparing to keep it hidden from everyone for how long?

Only such a person is a true tycoon!

At this very moment, if anyone still dares to say even half a word against Xiao Ming, there's no doubt they will definitely become the target of a net-wide attack!

Xiao Ming's personal charm, in the hearts of the masses, has leapt to become extremely towering!

Wealthy, with a career, socially responsible, patriotic and caring for the people—how could one not respect such a person?

Just based on Xiao Ming's single sentence to rescue women and children first, it has warmed countless people and moved countless people.

All that he has done has given his image an extremely high status in the hearts of the countrymen.

"Dad, you've donated a lot of money—have you ever felt heartache over it?" In Yuxi Villa, Xiao Jingrou, Xiao Yuchun, and Xiao Yunzhe watched that report and were directly shocked by the amount of money Xiao Ming had donated.

Hundreds of millions—although Xiao Ming is very wealthy, this is certainly not a small sum.
