Chapter 709 - Backfired

“No.” Bai Qinghao was expressionless. “Around two years ago, Fang Xinxin won over thirteen million dollars from the grand prize of a lottery event. She relied on that money to begin as a mid-sized enterprise. The Bai family has never assisted the Jiao Yang Finance Group in any way for it to reach its achievements today. In fact, Fang Xinxin actively hid the fact that Jiao Yang Finance Group is a company under her name to ensure that no one would give her privileges considering her relationship with the Bai family.”

“Wow!” Everyone present was astonished.

“It turns out that the winner of the lottery from back then was Fang Xinxin!”

“The companies under Jiao Yang Finance Group have been prospering lately. The property company under them previously purchased a piece of land for six hundred million dollars. As of now, the value of that land has skyrocketed up to six billion dollars…”

“Jiao Yang Fashion Company as well… I heard that their profit goes up to billions of dollars.”

“Everyone says that the Jiao Yang Finance Group’s director is a publicly recognised god of the stock markets. All the stocks she invests in always guarantee good returns…” Countless exclamations of admiration could be heard from the crowd.

Yi Jinbin flattered her. “Our director, Fang Xinxin, is the model image of a successful entrepreneur. As the CEO for the Jiao Yang Gaming Group under the management of the Jiao Yang Finance Group, it is truly my pride and honor to be working under such an outstanding director!”

A thunderous applause immediately followed his declaration.

A reporter pushed her microphone towards Bai Jingrou. “Miss Bai, Miss Fang is indeed the owner of this gaming company as well as the host of this event. You did not bother to understand this properly before you attacked the Jiao Yang Gaming Company for having poor morals. May I know if you are always this unreasonable in handling matters?”

Bai Jingrou turned as pale as a sheet of paper. She bit down on her bottom lip. “I…”

She wanted to leave but was stopped by a bodyguard.

The reporter continued asking. “Miss Bai, Xiao Aiting, the Sheng Shi Group’s employee you previously bribed, constantly targets Fang Xinxin for having a status that is incompatible with CEO Bai Qinghao. She also constantly emphasises your status as the Long Group’s only lady. May I know what your motivations are for doing this? Could it be that you feel that the Jiao Yang Group’s capable Director Fang cannot compete against a flower vase like yourself?”

Bai Jingrou was enraged. “Who are you calling a flower vase? Who says I bribed Xiao Aiting?”

“Xiao Aiting admitted to it herself by posting about it online.”

“Don’t believe her!” Bai Jingrou refused to admit it. “I’ve never bribed her!”

“But she has records of the bank transfer she received from you. Let’s not talk about that for now.” The reporter paid no mind to her insistence.

She continued. “We should always turn to the facts. It’s true that your status as the Long Group’s only successor is rather impressive. However, you were only lucky to be born into that role. Fang Xinxin, on the other hand, personally fought for the achievements she has today. You made use of your own family background to suppress someone who was honestly working hard. Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself?”

Bai Jingrou struggled to maintain her graceful facade. “I have the right to not answer your question.”

When Bai Chenxi saw this, he quietly moved to a corner to prevent catching anyone’s attention.

The young man who first stirred up the commotion also tried to leave from there. Fang Xinxin shot the bodyguards a look and someone immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Fang Xinxin approached him and asked. “Since you claim to be an experienced player and client of our Jiao Yang Gaming Company, may I know which games you actively participate in? What is your gaming ID?”

“I…” The man began to stutter.

“You can’t answer me, is that it?” Fang Xinxin nodded towards a man dressed in a black suit.

The man spoke up. “I am one of the employees at Jiao Yang Gaming Company. Earlier, I overheard Miss Bai Jingrou making a call from behind a corner. As the conversation was related to our company, I had no choice but to record it.”

He then played a clip.
