Chapter 404: You Need to Bleed a Little
"What if I don't agree?" Chen Yu asked, looking up.
"If you don't agree, then we have no way to continue talking. The matter we are about to discuss might be the only way out for your Tianyun. If you don't talk, you will miss this opportunity." Wu De was not panicked at all; he said triumphantly.
"Fine then, you had better pray that this conversation satisfies me." Chen Yu nodded, took out his phone, and turned it off.
Wu De scanned Chen Yu with an instrument, and only after confirming everything was fine did he nod with satisfaction: "Chen Yu, Tianyun doesn't seem to be doing very well lately."
"Thanks to you, it is indeed not doing very well." Chen Yu sneered, suppressing the urge to slap this guy away: "Go ahead, how much money do you want?"
"Hehe, President Chen is a sensible person." Wu De laughed: "You know what my purpose is for coming here."
"Of course I know." Chen Yu said indifferently: "You asked me to come here, nothing more than wanting me to pay money to settle the matter. People like you are capable of doing anything for money."
"If a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. Chen Yu, if you want the Tianyun matter to subside, I want this much." Wu De held up five fingers.
"Fifty million?" Chen Yu frowned: "You really dare to ask."
"Not fifty million, it's five hundred million." Wu De sneered: "Fifty million, do you really think I'm short of that little money? I earn that much after just a few live streams."
"Hmm, that's true. If I give you five hundred million, will this matter subside?" Chen Yu asked.
"That's right, I guarantee that the netizens will forget about it completely very soon. In the internet age, shocking things happen every day, and this matter doesn't count as a big deal." Wu De said leisurely: "It just depends on whether you can bear to part with it."
"You want to settle the matter, but your master probably won't agree." Chen Yu said coldly: "Young Master Zhao of the Zhao Group also gave you money, right? He asked you to make up some groundless black material to smear Tianyun. Do you dare say this didn't happen?"
"That did indeed happen, and the Zhao Group did give me money. But believe me, I can handle this matter. As long as you are willing to spend the money, none of this is a problem." Wu De chuckled.
"Wu De, do you know that because of the videos you posted these past few days, our Tianyun Group has already fallen into cyberbullying?" Chen Yu asked.
"I know, that was my goal. Chen Yu, do you know? I grew up unhappy; I was bullied and looked down upon."
Wu De gritted his teeth and said: "I used to be trampled underfoot, and from that time on I swore that if I had money, I would never let anyone bully me again. So now I step on the heads of my employees, throw money at them, and treat them like horses to ride, and they are all willing."
"No one dares to lay a hand on me, you are the first, so you must pay the price for this. I only stepped on a few of your flowers, but you hit me, so this is the price you should pay."
"Do you know how many lives the few flowers you stepped on could have saved? Because of your cyberbullying, Tianyun's employees have already been harassed and doxxed, and several production lines have already stopped."
"Those production lines are exactly for producing Hemostatic Powder and Toxin Repellent Powder for the soldiers at the border. Do you know how many soldiers at the border will die or be injured for every day production stops?" Chen Yu said coldly.
"Give it a rest, don't be so self-righteous. Their lives or deaths have nothing to do with me. I only care about money, and I only care that if you provoke me, I will beat you." Wu De sneered.
"They deserve to die if they die. Young people not thinking of ways to make money, but holding guns and rushing forward—if they don't die after being brainwashed like that, who will?"
"In your eyes, are they such existences?" Chen Yu stared at Wu De and said: "You must know that the prosperous age you live in now was bought by them with blood and life."
"Don't be so sentimental, Chen Yu. I don't want to argue with you about these things. Do I care if your medicine can be produced or not? Do I care how many soldiers die at the border? Five hundred million. Bring it out and the matter will be settled; if you can't, wait for your Tianyun to go bankrupt."
"Alright then." Chen Yu smiled: "Since that's the case, we don't need to talk anymore. Anyway, I never intended to really talk to you. I came here for nothing more than to record this ugly face of yours."
As Chen Yu said this, he took a button-sized camera off his button.
"This is impossible, I checked with a detector." The guy's face changed instantly.
"You really think that thing is omnipotent?" Chen Yu looked at him with an expression of caring for the mentally disabled: "If I use spy-grade imaging equipment, you won't be able to detect it at all with civilian-grade stuff."
"Besides, our Tianyun is currently live-streaming a press conference to answer questions one by one regarding recent issues. You should take a good look." Chen Yu grabbed the guy's phone, forcibly unlocked it with his hand, and entered a live stream room.
A live stream was taking place in the room, and one could see the childish-looking Jun Jun wearing a suit, facing a pile of reporters without the slightest fear.
"Tianyun's press conference officially begins. Before that, does anyone have any questions?" Jun Jun asked.
"May I ask little Li Jun, is there no one left at Tianyun? Letting a child like you handle such a crisis? Shouldn't Tianyun's executives come out to answer on such an important occasion?" A reporter went straight to the explosive point.
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Jun, I'll be fourteen soon. Although I am young, I possess a graduation certificate from Shengcheng University of Technology in C Province, and I have already completed my thesis and received my degree."
"Shengcheng University of Technology? That's a Double First-Class university, a nationally renowned 985." The scene was suddenly in an uproar; now, no one dared to look down on the child in front of them.
"Secondly, I am the person who had leukemia a few days ago, whose parents spent all their thirty thousand in savings without curing it, but was cured of the blood disease by a Divine Doctor using a few dollars' worth of medicine."
The scene went quiet instantly, and all the reporters keenly realized there was a story to dig into today.
"That's right, the person who cured me is Chen Yu, the Vice President of Tianyun Pharmaceutical, who is currently at the center of public opinion." Li Jun said.
The scene was no longer calm, and all the reporters scrambled to ask questions.
"One by one, please. You, what do you want to ask?" Jun Jun pointed at a reporter.
"I want to ask, what is your purpose in representing Tianyun Pharmaceutical to release this news today? Is it to whitewash Chen Yu? It's true his medical skills are high, but can he hit people?" The reporter asked tit-for-tat.
"Next is the point I want to make. Let's review what happened the day before yesterday, the 6th. It was reported online that the famous influencer Wu De was beaten up, and that he smashed surveillance equipment and was driven away."
"The location where the incident occurred was Yaoshan, a very famous influencer check-in spot recently." Jun Jun said while switching the images on the big screen.
"The cause of the incident was that Wu De was live-streaming in the medicinal field and trampled many medicinal plants, which is why President Chen got angry and hurt someone. That's how it happened, right?"
"That's right, that's how it happened. It's just a few plants, what's the big deal?" A reporter said disdainfully.
"Let me popularize some knowledge about these plants for everyone." Song Mengyan stepped forward and said: "The plants in the medicinal field that Wu De trampled are called Four-Leaf Camellia. It is a rare Chinese medicinal herb, and it has extremely high requirements for its living environment."
"Tianyun Group spent a great deal of effort to improve the variety and plant it in the medicinal field. This medicine has hemostatic and detoxification effects. The medicinal plants Wu De trampled at the time totaled thirty-six, and these thirty-six camellias are worth 160,000."
"It's just a few plants, are they really that expensive?"
"Exactly, what value does this medicine have? We haven't seen you Tianyun use it for medicine either."
Several reporters in the crowd who were stirring up trouble started making noise again.
"This kind of medicine is of course used for medicine, but it is a special supply for the border troops. Tianyun has two types of medicine under its name: one is Hemostatic Powder, which quickly stops bleeding and heals wounds; the other is Toxin Repellent Powder, which when applied to the body keeps poisonous insects and snakes from getting close."
"A tropical rainforest in the Southwest is right on the border. The troops stationed there suffer more than thirty casualties every year from being bitten by poisonous insects and snakes." Song Mengyan said: "In the conflicts at the border that we cannot see, there are even more casualties."
"Four-Leaf Camellia is the main Chinese patent medicine for hemostatic and detoxification drugs. The dozens of camellias he trampled, regardless of their value, could have saved at least a dozen soldiers' lives."
The crowd fell silent instantly, and all the reporters looked at each other; they really didn't know about these things.
