After everyone's laughter, Zhao Simin's face couldn't bear it anymore. She pointed at Mu Chen's hand tremblingly and said, "You...you are personally attacking me. Did my husband and children provoke you?"
Mu Chen laughed and said, "Did I provoke you? What's wrong with intentionally smearing my reputation and personally attacking me? You're allowed to spread rumors and cause trouble for me on Weibo while hiding behind an anonymous account, but I'm not allowed to criticize you?"
Zhao Simin was silenced by Mu Chen's words and couldn't muster a single curse. She quickly handed the photos she had in her hand to the journalists present, saying, "I am not spreading rumors. These photos are the evidence."
"Ridiculous." Mu Chen's voice raised slightly. "What can these photos represent? In the pictures, is it me naked with Lu Zeguang on the bed, or are we kissing while cuddling together? Can these seemingly normal photos be used as evidence?"
Thinking about the recent online rumors and the insults from the ignorant masses, Mu Chen felt increasingly angry in his heart. "I'll say it here today: if anyone wants to expose my secrets in the future, please bring evidence before making any accusations. Don't spread rumors and cause trouble based on a few unclear photos. In the end, you'll only end up embarrassing yourselves."
After uttering these words, Mu Chen left the speaking platform and walked out of the meeting room with large strides. Under the escort of security personnel, he entered the elevator, while several journalists who had rushed over for a photo op were blocked outside the elevator.
The protagonist has already left, so this press conference can no longer continue. Liang Xiao called the security personnel and asked them to escort Lu Ze away first. Then, he gave a concluding statement for this press conference.
Today's press conference concludes here. I would like to express my gratitude to all the journalists who are present here. Rumors end with wise people, and I hope that all the journalists present can rationalize their approach towards this unfounded gossip. Legal measures will also be taken against the company responsible for spreading these rumors to protect their innocence."
When Liang Xiao returned to his office from the meeting venue, Mu Chen was already sitting at his desk, blowing cold air and playing games on his computer.
Liang Xiao calmly walked up to his desk, placing both hands on the edge while fixing his gaze on Mu Chen.
Mu Chen felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze. His heart raced, and he quickly looked up at Liang Xiao, putting on a smile that appeared ingratiating. "Brother Liang, how did the press conference go?"
"You still have the audacity to ask?" Liang Xiao's tone carried a strong fury. "Why did the company hold this press conference? Isn't it to give you a chance to clarify things properly, to be polite to the attending journalists, so that they will go easy on you and stop reporting recklessly? But no, before even explaining the situation clearly, you've already started scolding the journalists."
Mu Chen quickly got up and gave his seat to Liang Xiao. "Liang Ge, please sit. I am not being rash, it's that Zhao Simin is too much. It's obvious that it was her studio who did this. How can I tolerate being falsely accused by her?"
After sitting down, Liang Xiao's complexion improved a lot. "It's about time you change your temper. The media has repeatedly reported that your temper has worsened. If you continue like this, who will dare to cooperate with you in the future? But let's forget about this incident. Being scolded by you in the press conference may not necessarily be a bad thing."
Liang Xiao appeared confident and at ease.
Star Feather Company held a press conference to address the rumors surrounding Mu Chen Chengqing. The entire event was recorded by the company, and the unedited video was promptly uploaded online on the same day.
Of course, Mu Chen was heavily criticized by many netizens for angrily cursing Zhao Simin. They said that as a public figure, he acted without thinking and launched a personal attack on the reporter in front of a large audience.
But unexpectedly, more people stood on Mu Chen's side.
