Chapter 1299 I Will Give Everyone an Explanation!
“I’ve admired you for so long, but I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless.”
“Aren’t you an upright doctor? Why are you selling fake medicine? Why are you causing harm to people by using fake and inferior Chinese medicinal herbs?”
“We’ve misjudged you. I thought you set up the Three Billion Foundation for the good of farmers in the countryside, but how could you hurt your patients for the sake of money!”
At a glance…
Fang Qiu’s first Weibo post was filled with all kinds of crazy insults.
Every single comment was extremely unpleasant!
Unlike before…
This time, Fang Qiu’s tens of millions of fans didn’t stand up to defend him. Since this matter had caused a mighty uproar, they knew they couldn’t change public opinion simply by standing up and putting in a good word for Fang Qiu.
Even worse, if this matter was confirmed to be related to Fang Qiu…
Most of them would unfollow Fang Qiu on Weibo and become his anti-fans instantly!
But…
Before the whole thing came to light, they would not blindly criticize Fang Qiu bitterly like those people on the Internet.
After having followed Fang Qiu for a long time, they were still willing to believe him!
Fang Qiu skimmed through a few pages of comments.
He let out a gentle sigh.
Then, he immediately clicked to write a post on Weibo!
“I just learned about this. Be at ease, everyone. I’ll give all of you an explanation!”
He quickly typed out a statement and sent it out.
Because the matter caused a tremendous public sensation, countless people had been closely watching Fang Qiu’s movements on Weibo. After all, it was widely known that Fang Qiu established the Three Billion Foundation. Moreover, he was involved in all the procedures related to the posting of physicians to the countryside. Even the purchasing channels of the medicine were chosen by Fang Qiu himself.
Just for these reasons…
The netizens instantly believed Fang Qiu was behind this scandal. To make big money, he began selling fake and inferior medicinal herbs!
But…
These netizens who stubbornly persisted in their opinions actually didn’t know the whole truth. Fang Qiu spent his money to establish the Three Billion Foundation. He paid for these physicians and medicine. All the things were bought by Fang Qiu.
So, how could Fang Qiu shoot himself in the foot?
How could he ruin the Foundation at his own expense?
No wonder anger and ignorance were said to be the most distinctive attributes of netizens!
Of course…
As the Three Billion Foundation’s chief executive…
Fang Qiu didn’t try to reason with netizens. After all, in view of the present situation, he was clear that all reasons would be unconvincing!
Therefore, he could only look at this matter from a positive perspective. He would do what was necessary and try his best to solve the problems quickly!
After a while…
Merely five minutes after the new post was published on Weibo, the number of comments under this post had exceeded 10,000 and it grew continuously at a terrific speed.
He entered the comments section.
Undoubtedly…
They were all harshly scolding him!
“An explanation? So, an explanation will be enough for him to get away unpunished?”
“Your explanation is useless to us. We need you to give the public a confession!”
“When the scandal broke, you didn’t apologize to the public the first time. Instead, you asked everyone to wait for your explanation?”
“Wait? Are you asking us to wait for you to resolve this public crisis?”
“What a joke. I don’t believe you don’t know what’s going on. Why should we wait for your explanation? Do you dare to announce the truth?”
“Apologize! Apologize to the public immediately!”
“But the damage is done. What’s the point of giving an explanation? While we’re waiting, you will use your connections to suppress mounting criticism of the masses, won’t you?”
Crazily enough, trolls online kept sending swearwords to Fang Qiu’s Weibo account.
Fang Qiu had some loyal fans who always believed in him. At this point, they could no longer sit still, possibly because they couldn’t bear to see these people subject him to a stream of abuse. After all, Fang Qiu had personally stood up and promised to handle this matter.
“Guys, couldn’t you please zip your filthy mouths? Indeed, Fang Qiu is the Three Billion Foundation’s chief executive, but he can’t control every doctor, right? And what does this have to do with Fang Qiu? It was the doctor who sold the fake medicine. Why are you heaping the blame on Fang Qiu? The doctor in his company was greedy for money, but you made Fang Qiu the scapegoat. Is it appropriate to do that?”
His fan’s argument sounded right in principle.
But…
As soon as this comment was sent out…
In an instant, the fan came under attack from all sides!
“Are you trying to throw dust into our eyes?”
“How dare you come out to fool us? You’re so fucking cheap!”
“The facts are right before us. How dare you moron fans defend him like this? I think you are more than idiots. You are brain-dead idiots!”
“Let’s watch the fun when moron fans turn wrong into right for their idol.”
“I’d like to see how stupid you foolish fans can be!”
All kinds of personal attacks were hurled at Fang Qiu’s fans.
Their nasty words even forced some fans to log out of Weibo. They had no courage to read those comments at all. The more they saw, the angrier and more uncomfortable they felt!
“Damned, listen carefully. You can fling as many curses at me as you like. Anyway, I won’t log on to Weibo in the near future. When the case is entirely cleared and Fang Qiu is proven innocent, I’ll come back to douse you in a flood of abuse!”
A hot-tempered fan of Fang Qiu made an abrupt announcement and quit Weibo.
As a result…
Those trolls became even more frantic. Like a swarm of hornets, they rushed into the fan’s Weibo and delivered insulting remarks in the comments section!
However…
Fang Qiu didn’t view these comments, either.
After he posted on his Weibo account…
Fang Qiu exited his account and dialed He Xue’s phone number.
“Hello?”
As soon as the phone was connected, he heard He Xue’s voice. “You thought of me finally?”
“I thought of you in the first place.”
Fang Qiu allowed himself a wry smile and said, “Since it has already happened, we should call the police, no matter what the consequences are. The Three Billion Foundation has been assigned to you. Also, it’s under the charge of our company. It would be better if you call the police!”
“Um.”
He Xue nodded in agreement.
“We should not take matters into our own hands. Regardless of what the truth is, we must call the local police and arrest the relevant people first!”
Fang Qiu ordered.
“Don’t worry. People at the site of the incident had already called the police.”
He Xue replied, “As long as the police get all the relevant people, I believe that the situation will gradually become clear.”
“Hmm.”
Fang Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a nod, “In ten minutes, let’s begin a video conference, a general meeting of Renyi Group stockholders. I need all the shareholders to attend it, including Jiang Mengjie, who holds an important position in the Foundation!”
“Okay, I’ll call all the shareholders right away!”
He Xue nodded knowingly.
This was the first time she had seen Fang Qiu in such an agitated state.
In the past…
No matter what happened, Fang Qiu always remained calm and collected. It looked as if everything was under control, and he could handle them easily. But the present situation was utterly different.
She could feel that Fang Qiu could hardly wait to begin the meeting!
Without any further ado…
He Xue did what Fang Qiu wanted her to do the first time.
And over here…
After he hung up, Fang Qiu became even angrier!
He was not worried when others misunderstood and scolded him harshly. Instead, he was furious when he knew a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine was selling fake and inferior herbs.
His concern was that other people with bad intentions might follow suit when they heard of this incident.
Then, would more and more people sell Chinese medicinal herbs of low quality?
In addition…
Fang Qiu was burning with rage!
He was angry at the doctor who sold the fake drugs. As a Chinese medicine practitioner, how could he give his patients shoddy Chinese medicine herbs? He was causing harm to the people.
Such a person deserved to be punished severely!
To be certified as a physician in the countryside, one had to pass many tests and be capable enough.
In this case…
Fang Qiu didn’t believe that the physician selling inferior medicinal herbs was not aware of the quality!
That was to say…
He was almost sure that the physician had done it on purpose!
Obviously…
Something was seriously wrong with that physician!
Seething with rage, Fang Qiu told He Gaoming that he had to go. Then, he directly left the relic and came to the top of a nearby mountain. Over there, he took out his phone and was ready to begin the video conference with the other shareholders.
When he built up the Renyi Group…
Fang Qiu had already set up a WeChat group for the company and added all the shareholders.
He Xue had notified everyone about the meeting.
All the shareholders were ready for the meeting.
Jiang Mengjie was added to the WeChat group.
Ten minutes passed.
Fang Qiu clicked and entered the video chat room on time.
Yang Ningyuan and Li Qihua entered the chat room first. Afterward, Zhu Benzheng, Zhou Xiaotian, Sun Hao, and Zhao Shanlin also entered, one after another. Finally, He Xue appeared with Jiang Mengjie.
There were a total of nine people, including Fang Qiu.
Though Fang Qiu used his phone…
His mobile phone was no different from a computer. Thus, he could clearly see all the people before their cameras.
Everyone was online.
They all looked very serious.
Jiang Mengjie was a senior manager of the Foundation, but she hadn’t met these shareholders before this conference. She took a closer look at each of them, yet it could be seen that she was not interested in learning more about them.
“Everyone is here; let’s begin the meeting!”
Fang Qiu said, “I believe you all know what happened to the Foundation. This matter concerns the Foundation, which is under the Renyi Group. So, netizens are likely to link the Foundation to the Renyi Group. I hope you will be prepared for the problems that might come up.”
“Of course, you needn’t worry.”
When Fang Qiu said that…
His eyes narrowed and he said in an exceedingly solemn tone, “I’ll take all the responsibility, but no matter what, this matter must be strictly investigated. The truth must be found!
“It has happened. Don’t be anxious.”
Yang Ningyuan spoke up, “Let’s get to the bottom of this first!”
“Mm.”
Fang Qiu nodded and asked, “Jiang Mengjie, was there anything wrong with the prescription given by the physician?”
“It’s fine.”
Jiang Mengjie immediately nodded and answered, “I’ve already checked it. The prescription is completely in accordance with the symptoms!”
“Which company provided the medicinal herbs he gave out?”
Fang Qiu continued to ask.
“I haven’t found out yet.”
Jiang Mengjie shook her head.
“No matter which company it is, you must contact them as soon as you know it. You must get them to explain this matter clearly!”
Fang Qiu ordered in a solemn tone.
