Chapter 280: I want you all to look at these

Never did the crowd expect Lu Chen to call the police on them.

Shouldn't you give some answers to our questions before you call the police? With how many people angered, should he say something to ease the crowd?

But what Lu Chen did just added more oil onto the fire!

"Do you think calling the police will stop us?!" One of the workers shouts out. He sat down on the ground, "We aren't going to leave until you give us an apology!"

Other workers agreed and sat down with him. However, some were frightened by what Lu Chen said and backed off. 

Lu Chen looks at them with amusement, "You guys stepped onto private property. And you're disturbing the peace as well. That's more than enough for me to call the police." 

Lu Chen didn't say anything to them as he walked back in. 

"..." Is that all you're going to say to us?! 

With how domineering and arrogant Lu Chen began, it pissed off the reporters and workers. Before they could explode, Duan Huiling speaks up, "For the reporters and people who came here today. We will have a conference about everything that happened the last few days." 

Duan Huiling didn't say anymore either as she follows after Lu Chen. The reporters were going to ask more, but the security guard blocked their way. 

They wanted to push them away. But then, the crowd heard police sirens!

Everybody quickly scrambled away now that they heard it! Even the workers who said they were staying left!

But they have got it. All their questions will be answered tomorrow.

...

While they were scrambling away, Duan Huiling asked Lu Chen, "CEO, why did you brush them off like that? They could have made random stories about our company if we didn't say something."

If they didn't give any information to the reporters, Duan Huiling knew they would have made up random stories about their company. 

Lu Chen shakes his head, "I know. But if you give them something, they'll keep asking for more." 

Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile. Lu Chen knows if they give out information at the moment, they will definitely keep asking and not leave. 

"Good job saying that there's a conference tomorrow." Lu Chen smiles,

"Now we have to pull an all-nighter too." 

“...”When Duan Huiling heard that, she wanted to cry. She just increased the work for herself! 

...

The next day, many ex-workers and reporters were sitting in a conference room. All of them were waiting for Lu Chen and Duan Huiling to arrive.

There was a tense atmosphere going around. However, it all stopped when Lu Chen and Duan Huiling opened the doors and took their seats.

Duan Huilings smiles, "Now then, let's begin the questions, shall we?" When she said that, one reporter raises his hand,

"Ahh, yes. I heard from these fired workers that your company fired more than 50% of your workforce." 

Duan Huiling nods, "Yes, our company did fire more than 50% of our workforce."

"But why did you fire them? Some of them had families that needed this job to survive?"

Lu Chen spoke up now, "So what if they have families. Does that really matter?" 

"Of course that matters! What you're essentially doing is destroying their livelihood! That's so unfair to them!" The reporter insisted. 

"Unfair?" Lu Chen laughs as he scoffs, "Let me ask you something. Why would I keep paying people if they're not going to work?"

"How could you say I haven't worked hard?!" A retired worker stands up! He couldn't take it as he continues, "I've been working my ass off day in and day out for this company for four years! And you said I haven't been working? Bullshit!"

"Yeah! How dare you say that!" 

The shouting kept increasing.

"Peng Lang, age 34. Got into the company through a referral from one of the board members. Well, an ex-board member now. Am I right?"Lu Chen looks at him calmly.

Peng Lang nods, "That's right. I got a referral from a board member. I have been doing good work for all those years." 

"Good work?" Lu Chen chuckles, "Can you say that after you look at these?" Lu Chen clicked on something, making a movie screen come down. 

"Before you reporters ask any more questions, I want you all to look at these."
