Chapter 430: A Slap in the Face (Part 2)

……………….

At three in the afternoon.

The investigation made some progress.

Thanks to Lawyer Zhou’s eloquence and the charm of money, villagers were willing to stand up for Wang Mingyue.

The traffic police’s investigation results were also out.

The bicycle showed no signs of collision.

At this time, Zhao Qingfeng was browsing the news pushed by Penguin.

He didn’t expect Little Pony to counterattack again, becoming adversarial after already suffering a setback.

“Mr. Zhao.”

Just as he closed his eyes to rest, Wang Xiaohu barged into the hospital room, “Zhang Xiaodong from Tencent requests to see you.”

Who?

Zhao Qingfeng was taken aback.

Zhang Xiaodong was a core member of Tencent.

In a previous life, he had helped Ma Huateng with many impressive projects, significantly contributing to Tencent’s rise.

Why had he come?

Zhao Qingfeng stroked his chin.

He had just been resenting Zhang Xiaodong because Tencent’s publicity had stirred up a storm online.

Many foolish netizens supported Zhang Xiaodong’s argument, believing that if one wasn’t the perpetrator, they wouldn’t offer help, which had already damaged LeXin’s reputation. And he was thinking about taking care of Zhang Xiaodong later.

“Let him in.”

Zhao Qingfeng straightened up, preparing to greet him.

Seconds later, Zhang Xiaodong, accompanied by his team, walked in briskly.

This was their first meeting, and the young Zhang Xiaodong looked naive.

Zhao Qingfeng appeared even more ‘naive,’ causing Zhang Xiaodong to pause in surprise, secretly amazed at how young the CEO of Lingfeng Technology was. If seen on the street, he would be mistaken for just a university student.

“Mr. Zhao.”

“Vice President Zhang, please take a seat.”

“Mr. Zhao, I’m sorry, under President Ma’s orders, we might have to engage in an online 1V1 battle.”

“It’s okay. After all, the investigation results aren’t out yet, and not all netizens are supporting Wang Mingyue. Are you here for an interview? I’ll step out then. Go ahead.”

“Thanks, Mr. Zhao. Well… never mind, thanks.”

Zhang Xiaodong had a lot he wanted to say to Zhao Qingfeng.

But considering they were from rival companies and he was loyal to Ma Huateng, it wasn’t possible to get too close to the opponent.

What he wanted to say was that he also didn’t believe Wang Mingyue was lying.

But the words stayed unspoken as he watched Zhao Qingfeng leave, then sighed. With Wang’s father’s permission, he sat beside Wang Mingyue’s bed, let his team start recording, and began questioning.

“Did you really not hit her?”

Zhang Xiaodong asked routinely.

“No…”

Wang Mingyue didn’t even want to answer this question she had already responded to countless times.

“Then… if you didn’t hit her, why did you get involved?”

This question from Zhang Xiaodong represented all the netizens who didn’t believe in Wang Mingyue.

“…”

Wang Mingyue couldn’t say a word.

Is it wrong to be kind?

If it is, then this must be the ‘best’ outcome.

“Miss Wang?”

Zhang Xiaodong couldn’t bear it, but since Tencent had made it clear they were going against LeXin, he had to ask.

“Who are you? Get out!”

Just as he repeated the question, a sharp yet pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind. Before Zhang Xiaodong could turn around, a slap landed fiercely on his face, knocking him to the ground with a loud smack.
