Two hours later, 10: 00 am sharp.
Since the press conference was held in an emergency, gu mohan thought that not many media outlets had received the notice and were able to arrive on time, but when he stepped into the venue, he was immediately shocked by the hot behavior on the scene.
The assistant had already motioned for the reporters to be quiet on the stage. His footsteps only paused for a moment, then he immediately regained his composure and walked straight through the venue to the stage.
After he took his seat, there was no sound on the scene, and everyone held their breath waiting for his next speech.
In other words, from the moment he received the news that the president of the gu group was holding a press conference, the media was already in a hurry. Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao's news was suddenly published online in the early hours of the morning, then leapt to the first news click of the day at an astonishing speed, and the total number of participants surpassed the highest number this month by several times.
In other words, no matter what news gu mohan was about to announce at this time, as long as he said something and put it back on the report, there would be a series of explosive reactions!
Gu mohan adjusted the position of the microphone on the table, glanced at the "Covetous" reporters under the stage, and said, "First of all, thank you very much for coming to the gu press conference. The press conference was held in a hurry, so please forgive me for not being there."
After a few simple polite words, he went straight to business, "I'm sure all the media friends can guess the reason why gu's press conference was held. I won't keep it in suspense. That's right. Next, I want to explain the sudden news this morning."
"President gu described this news as'sudden', so does that mean that you will deny some of the facts in the news?" A reporter at the bottom asked.
Gu mohan's face darkened and he said slowly, "This press conference will not accept any questions. By the time the announcement is made, my staff should have already attached a statement, right?"
"Uh..." The reporter choked on him and lowered his head.
Gu mohan knew that many people had the same doubts as this reporter. In the eyes of most people, when it comes to gossip, especially when it's still so influential, the first reaction of celebrities like them is to deny it as much as possible and get rid of their relationship. With their abilities, it was not difficult to suppress a piece of news, but those who were hurt and wronged behind it could only suffer dumb losses.
Everyone has compassion and justice, which is understandable, but gu Mohan can't let these things become a tool to confuse the public's attention. What he has to do is to ensure that ye zhiqiao's safety, the most likely to tell the truth.
Even if the truth was true, it would cause him more trouble.
"First of all, the child mentioned in the news many times. She is indeed my daughter, but she is only five years old this year. She is at an age of ignorance. I hope that everyone will leave room for the child to grow up healthily no matter what. Thank you."
"Is it really your child? Who was the child's mother? Ye zhiqiao or..." Another reporter couldn't help asking.
Gu mohan glanced at the man and said in a deep voice, "I will explain these questions later. If you don't have patience, you can leave early."
Once again, he warned the reporters present to keep quiet. No one wanted to be like the two people just now and give their descendants a "Lesson from the past."
Gu mohan then continued, "In order to protect the child's privacy, I will not explain my daughter's situation in detail here, but I can tell you that her mother is not ye zhiqiao. Ye zhiqiao is my current lover. Our relationship is very good, and at the same time, she is especially kind to my daughter, so those guesses without proof, I hope to stop here and thank you again."
After finishing his prepared speech, gu mohan stood up swiftly and left the venue through the side door, ignoring the uproar behind him.
However, just a few minutes later, there was news about him, and he was once again on the top of the hot news list.
He didn't know about this from ye zhiqiao until he returned home.
This press conference, from his point of view, was half a success, but from the company's point of view, it was a complete failure.
He had two purposes, one was to protect ye zhiqiao from public opinion, and the other was to stop outsiders from making wild guesses about the company.
According to his assumption, although admitting that he had an illegitimate child might have a bad impact on his reputation, the outside world has always been very understanding of the situation. Pregnancy before marriage, illegitimate children, and marriage after marriage are not things that people despise. It is not surprising that a successful person like him happens.
But what he did not expect was that this time, the public would not buy his account.
A few mainstream media outlets and a website with a huge fan base on the internet were surprisingly on the same side, accusing him of irresponsibility, and adjectives such as "Playboy" and "Scumbag" flooded the sky. Ye zhiqiao's responsibility for being collected and scolded by netizens was now pushed to him, saying that he deliberately used ye zhiqiao to make ye zhiqiao fall into an awkward situation.
Not only that, the shares of the gu group also dropped a few points during this period, and there was a continuing downward trend, even several branches were affected by large or small waves.
Just as he was in a hurry, father gu called again.
He didn't have to think about his father's current attitude, but there was no way to escape, so he had to bite the bullet.
"Is this the result you want to show me?!" Sure enough, master gu was calling to make an accusation.
Gu mohan paused and said, "Dad, give me some more time. I..."
"You don't have time!!" Father gu angrily questioned, "You want time, you ask those media and opponents will give time to gu shi?!! It's not that I haven't given you a chance, but your grades are really disappointing! Now, you immediately sever all ties with ye zhiqiao and come home immediately. I will contact several influential media and reopen the press conference to change the direction of public opinion in one fell swoop!"
Gu mohan refused without even thinking, "It's impossible. Ye zhiqiao is my woman, and xiao bao is my child. It's my responsibility to protect them."
"What about gu? Are you going to bury the gu family for a woman?! You... Cough... Cough..." Father gu coughed violently in anger.
"Dad, I promise you that I will take care of the company's affairs. Rest well and don't rush."
After that, gu mohan hung up on himself.
