For this press conference, Zhou Chen transferred a total of more than 40 security guards. This was not the first time these security guards had come into contact with those people, so they were very experienced.
They ignored the curses from these people, but there was no way they could enter Chenxing Building.
Those people from Daishan had already been educated by law enforcement officers, so no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to take action and could only stand there and bark helplessly.
It was very lively outside, and the conference hall on the third floor of the building was also very lively. Reporters from different places, websites and TV stations were all having heated discussions.
Since the establishment of Chenxing Group, Zhou Chen has never made an official appearance in public, and as for a press conference, there has never been one, so many people are very curious about Zhou Chen.
It just so happened that Zhou Chen’s life story was exposed this time, allowing countless people to recognize this enchanting genius.
Although there are many people on the Internet who maliciously belittle Zhou Chen, those who know about Zhou Chen's experience will involuntarily give him a thumbs up and express their true admiration.
He was a genius since childhood, skipped grades, always ranked first in school, topped the college entrance examination, started his own business during college, a financial genius...
With countless titles in one person, he built a behemoth like Chenxing Group with very little capital in just a few years.
Such horrific growth is even more exaggerated than that of the protagonist in online novels. Some online writers and readers with more imaginative ideas began to wonder whether Zhou Chen had traveled back from decades later. Otherwise, how could he be so enchanting.
Many people who come here want to interview Zhou Chen about things on the Internet, but there are also many people who simply want to interview Zhou Chen in order to obtain more information.
In the huge conference hall, the number of people sitting and standing was almost the same. In short, it was densely packed, with more than a thousand people.
However, the stage at the front of the conference hall was very wide. In the middle of the stage was a temporary podium with a microphone in the middle.
A few minutes before nine o'clock, a man in a neat suit walked up to the podium and sat down in front of the microphone.
"Hey, hello!"
The voice echoed in the hall, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked up and looked forward.
"Dear media friends, gentlemen and ladies who have come from afar, first of all, welcome to your arrival. I am Wang Xu from the Public Relations Department of Chenxing Group."
"The press conference is about to begin. Before we begin, there are a few rules to be mentioned."
"First of all, because there are so many visitors, our chairman cannot answer everyone's questions. During the question-and-answer session, our chairman will randomly call on people, and only the gentleman or lady whose name is called will be eligible to ask questions, and they can only ask one question at a time."
"If someone disrupts the order without being named, then sorry, our security will immediately clear that person out of the hall, and the company or unit that person belongs to will be blacklisted by our Chenxing Group, and we will not accept any interviews or cooperation from them in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people present changed their expressions. If an ordinary person made such a threat, they would definitely not take it seriously. However, Chenxing Group was different. They had the qualifications to do so.
At this moment, many people calmed down and suppressed their excitement to avoid uncontrollably causing trouble.
Wang Xu was very satisfied to see the silence at the scene, and continued: "We have placed a microphone in each row of seats, and those who are called can use the microphone to ask questions to our chairman."
"Secondly, we don't want anyone to use insulting words to ask our chairman questions during the question-and-answer session. If someone does this, our security comrades will not be polite."
"Third, the questions you ask this time must be related to our chairman. You are not allowed to ask irrelevant questions. Even if you ask questions, our chairman has the right not to answer them."
"fourth…………"
Wang Xu proposed many rules in succession, and many people present were in a heavy mood.
Many journalists really have no bottom line. They will report whatever is explosive without considering whether it is true or reasonable.
But once Wang Xu made these rules, it was destined that they could not ask many questions, so it would be strange if they were in a good mood.
But they have no choice. They are in someone else's territory and have to listen to them. As for the talk of freedom of interviews and so on, it's just talk and don't take it seriously.
Wang Xu glanced at his watch and finally said, "Next, please invite Mr. Zhou Chen, Chairman of Chenxing Group, to the stage."
In an instant, thunderous applause broke out in the hall, and everyone stared at the front of the stage with wide eyes.
I saw a tall and thin man in a black suit slowly walking onto the stage from the back and sitting down in front of the microphone.
The scene on the stage was also projected onto the large screen behind the stage, so that everyone in the hall could clearly see every move of the man at the table through the large screen.
Suddenly there was a commotion. Most of the people who came today were seeing the elusive Chairman of Chenxing Group for the first time.
After seeing that young, resolute, handsome and mature face, many people exclaimed in surprise.
Because in their opinion, this man does not seem like the behind-the-scenes boss of a multi-billion-dollar group, but more like a young man from a noble family.
Handsome, elegant, outstanding...
These words would not feel out of place when used to describe this man.
Zhou Chen sat on the stage, looking at the densely packed crowd in front of him, not feeling nervous at all. When the company held its annual meeting, he faced even more people than here.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am Zhou Chen, the chairman of Chenxing Group. I am very happy to meet you all."
"Wow..."
No matter what everyone thought, after Zhou Chen said this, they all couldn't help but applaud.
After the applause ended, Zhou Chen continued, "I am very happy that you all came to the press conference. I also want to thank you all for letting me feel the treatment of a big star. Well, this feeling seems to be quite good."
"Hahaha……"
Many people were amused by Zhou Chen's humor. Everyone thought that Zhou Chen would behave very seriously in such a serious occasion, but they didn't expect that Zhou Chen would take the initiative to make jokes at the beginning. This was different from what they imagined.
"A few days ago, my news topped the trending search list, even surpassing the divorce of a certain singer and a certain superstar. I feel very sorry for this. I finally wanted to be on the top of the trending search list, how easy is it? Why do you have to keep holding on to my affairs?"
There was another round of laughter, and the atmosphere on the scene slowly changed, making some people look solemn.
Zhou Chen's first few words had nothing to do with today's events, but as he spoke, he had already aroused everyone's emotions and completely took the initiative.
This situation is not a good thing in the eyes of veteran media reporters.
Zhou Chen slowly stopped smiling and started to get to the point.
"I'm sorry, you all didn't come here to listen to my chatter. Well, it's already 9:08. In order not to waste your precious time, let's officially start today's press conference."
"The reason why I held this press conference today is mainly because of the rumors about me that were circulated online a few days ago."
"I won't say any more. Let's move on to the question and answer session. If you have any questions, please raise your hands and I will designate someone to ask them."
"Of course, you don't have to worry. At a time like this, I won't deliberately find excuses to absolve myself."
"Ha ha……"
Many people laughed good-naturedly again. Indeed, there are many people who use others as agents at press conferences. Now that Zhou Chen took the initiative to bring it up, it actually made everyone let down their guard.
"Now, for the first question, anyone who wants to ask a question can just raise your hand."
Suddenly, more than half of the people at the scene raised their hands, densely packed with palms of various colors.
Zhou Chen randomly picked one: "My dear gentlemen, please show your demeanor. For the first time, I will choose a lady. The lady in the fifth row with the bracelet is you. Please stand up. The rest of you please put your hands down for the time being."
After everyone put down their hands, all eyes were focused on the woman in the brown tweed coat.
The woman stood up with great excitement. As the first person to be called, she felt very lucky.
"Hello, Chairman Zhou. I am a reporter from XXX TV station. My name is Huang..."
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Ms. Huang, you have a chance to ask a question. The rules have just been stated. You can only ask one question at a time. You only have ten seconds to think about it. What question do you want to ask?"
The female reporter surnamed Huang's face suddenly became serious. She had too many questions to ask, but she could only ask one, so she had to choose carefully.
The ten seconds were up quickly, and she didn't delay any further, but quickly picked up the microphone that had been passed to her.
"Chairman Zhou, I want to ask you, when you knew that your parents were both mentally ill, did you ever suspect that you had mental problems? After all, according to genetics, if both parents are mentally ill, their children are likely to have mental disorders as well."
As soon as this question was asked, the hall suddenly fell silent, and many people took a deep breath.
Shit, is the first question so aggressive?
Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Ms. Huang's question is very tricky. Are you so sure that the news on the Internet is true?"
The female reporter surnamed Huang said calmly, "Chairman Zhou, please answer my question directly."
Many people were already twitching their lips, shocked by the boldness of this female reporter. Why should she be so impatient? She is a top billionaire after all. Isn't she afraid of being hated?
But more people were excited. The first question was so aggressive, and the first person who asked the question was so tough. This allowed everyone to grasp the measure from Zhou Chen's response, which was of great help to the scale of subsequent questions.
What a good man!
Many fellow journalists secretly gave a thumbs up to the female reporter named Huang.
Zhou Chen slowly stopped smiling and replied calmly, "I have never doubted that I have mental problems. On the contrary, I want to ask, I have built the Chenxing Group with a market value of over 100 billion. If someone like me has mental problems, then who can be considered a normal person?"
The female reporter surnamed Huang said anxiously: "Chairman Zhou, your answer is..."
Zhou Chen interrupted unceremoniously: "Ms. Huang, I have already answered your question. Whether you are satisfied or not, your question time is over. Please sit down quietly."
The female reporter surnamed Huang's face suddenly changed. She instinctively wanted to refute Zhou Chen just now, but after being interrupted by Zhou Chen rudely, she realized the problem.
Being stared at by countless people, she sat down with a flushed face.
But Zhou Chen had no intention of showing sympathy to women, and continued: "Next
Chapter 469 The Buried Truth
"Let's move on to the second question. Anyone who wants to ask a question please raise your hand."
Zhou Chen did not give the people below a chance to react. He quickly led the topic to the second question and then selected a person from the crowd.
"Mr. standing on the stool in the ninth row, please don't stand so high. You are blocking the view of the friends behind you."
The man standing on the stool thought Zhou Chen was signaling him to ask a question, but he didn't expect Zhou Chen to just ask him to get down. He was immediately embarrassed, which caused everyone to laugh.
"As for the friend behind this gentleman, you are the one who will ask the second question."
The man in the back row who was pointed out by Zhou Chen stood up immediately with a look of surprise on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou Chen. The question I want to ask is, when did you know your life experience? After knowing your life experience, why didn't you look for your biological parents?"
Zhou Chen replied: "Sir, according to the rules, you can only ask one question, but you have asked two questions, so I only need to answer your first question."
"You asked me when I found out about my life story. My answer is, it was just a few days ago. So I would like to express my gratitude to the friend who published my life story online. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know that my life story is so complicated."
Unexpectedly, the other party did not believe it at all and continued to question: "Mr. Zhou Chen, you are in charge of the Chenxing Group with assets of hundreds of billions. You are extremely powerful. If you want to investigate your life experience, how can you not find it? So, Mr. Zhou Chen, please answer truthfully."
Zhou Chen's face suddenly turned cold, and he shot back: "Sir, please be careful with your words. I'm just a businessman. You said I'm extremely powerful. Is this the right word to use to describe a businessman?"
"You said I didn't answer truthfully. How did you know that? Are you the worm in my stomach?"
"Also, why should I investigate my past? I have a happy family now. My adoptive parents treat me better than their own children. In such a family, why should I look for the person who abandoned me in an orphanage?"
"Mr. Zhou Chen..."
"Okay, sir, your question time is over. If you continue to make trouble like this, I will have to ask security to ask you to leave."
Faced with Zhou Chen's threat, the man's face turned pale. He dared not speak anymore and sat down unwillingly.
"Next question."
"Mr. Zhou Chen, I heard that your biological father has found you, but you closed the door and blocked them outside the building. Is this something a son would do?"
"Before I answer this question, I would like to ask this journalist friend, if one day a group of people suddenly found you and said they were your biological parents, would you recognize them on the spot and take them home?"
"This……"
"Can't answer? Since you can't answer it yourself, why are you asking me this question? Everyone knows my identity. I'm so busy every day. If a group of people come to me and say they are my relatives, do I have to entertain them every day?"
"But we have already confirmed that the gentleman is indeed your biological father, and he is outside now. Why don't you see him?"
"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to see him, but I'm trying to verify it. You said you've confirmed his identity, so how did you verify it? Did you do a DNA match, or did you just believe the rumors? If you don't have solid evidence, I can sue you for defamation."
…………
Questions came one after another. When faced with some unfavorable questions, Zhou Chen fought back strongly. Several reporters were so scared by him that they dared not speak.
This scene made many people feel excited. Look at them, no matter which reporter you are from, they will confront you whenever they want. They are nothing like ordinary stars who dare not offend the media at all.
"Next question, the lady in the second row."
"Chairman Zhou, if it is finally confirmed that the gentleman is your biological father, will you recognize him?"
Zhou Chen answered without hesitation: "No."
"Why, if it is true that he is your biological father, why don't you want to recognize him? Are you afraid that he will pester you in the future?"
"This lady has misunderstood. The reason why I won't recognize him is not because I'm afraid that he will pester me, but because his behavior is not worthy of forgiveness. You all saw the news online and know that my biological parents are mentally ill, but you don't know the specific reason. During this period of time, I have investigated the truth of the matter."
Hearing this, the female reporter immediately asked anxiously: "Chairman Zhou, what is the truth of the matter?"
Zhou Chen said: "Originally you only had one chance to ask a question, but I can answer your question now. The truth about my life experience is actually a tragic past. Since you want to hear it, I will tell you, and then let you judge whether I should acknowledge this relative or not."
Among the crowd, there was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a gloomy face. He was Wei Guoqiang.
Ever since news about Zhou Chen started flying around the Internet, he had already started investigating, and according to Mr. He's instructions, he wanted to find Zhou Chen to recognize him as his relative.
It was a pity that Zhou Chen refused to meet him after he visited him several times. Finally, Andy called him personally and threatened him that if he dared to look for Zhou Chen again, he would fight him to the death.
So he finally had to give up looking for Zhou Chen. After learning that Zhou Chen was going to hold a press conference, he rushed over, hoping to meet Zhou Chen.
