Chapter 419: Press Conference
Just when Ye Qiao thought that this male reportercould be the mastermind of the whole thing, another female reporter stood up to ask another question.
“Miss Ye, I have another question. There was no announcement regarding the amount of supplies bought. How can you guarantee that the amount of supplies purchased will tally with the amount received by the victims? “the female reporter stood up and asked sharply.
Ye Qiao nodded, “Thank you for your question. Does anyone else have questions? Please bring them all up. I will answer them together. As a charity organization, especially a non-governmental charity organization like us that doesn’t have any credibility, we should accept the supervision of the public to ensure that no funny business will happen behind the scenes. Therefore, we gladly accept all sectors of society to be a watchful eye for us so that donations collected will be used accordingly for the right purpose. Even those who doubt us.”
Then, she stood up and looked at the big screen behind her. “Many of the donations this time are collected on the spot so we can’t be specific to the individual or how much money was donated. However, we have a detailed list of the accounts of each venue. Please have a look.”
“We have volunteers who record the number of people who were given donations. We have calculated the total amount of each venue and the average amount of donations for each person. I have also took the liberty to have notaries attend today to supervise the donation” she said to everyone in the room and invited two notaries to step forward. One being a man and the other, a woman.
She couldn’t help but admire b brother Jiang’s foresight and idea to have the notaries supervise them.
After the two notaries introduced themselves, they told her about the situation at the venue. “We guarantee that these accounts are consistent with the accounts of the income of each venue!” the male notary said.
“Everyone, do you have any questions about the actual amount of donations we received? Ye Qiao asked.
Some of the reporters shook their heads while others were noncommittal. Ye Qiao smiled and said, “Perhaps, a lot of people think that notaries can also be questioned, right?”
“Of course… Who knows if you guys paid them off…” a young reporter below the stage whispered.
“They look like they’re wearing jewelry. Maybe they embezzled the donations…”
“Reporter, are you an intern? Why don’t I see your press pass?” Ye Qiao walked up to the two girls who were whispering about her and asked with a smile.
“We… We’re not reporters. We… We’re citizens! We’re here to listen in!” Seeing the queen-like Ye Qiao walk over to them, the girl was a little afraid. Her aura was too strong.
Ye Qiao now learned that whoever is the mastermind behind the framing also had people in the audience.
“These two ladies suspect that I’m doing this to embezzle the money…” Ye Qiao smiled at them and thought to herself..
“Miss Ye is a billionaire with a current net worth of 300 million. Why would she have any motive to embezzle the money?” Jiang said as he made quite an entrance with his wife. On the big screen, the stock certificates of the two companies that Ye Qiao owned were displayed. One of them was from Big Boss Jiang’s company. It was 13 points, and the other was from Miss Du. It was 30 points. They were all large projects that were worth hundreds of millions.
“300 million yuan?!” the reporters at the scene were speechless.
“How is that possible?!”
“How is that not possible? Didn’t you see her annual financial report? Her grandmother even gave her a dowry of 150 million yuan,” one of the notaries said.
“She’s so rich! Why would she even bother with a few thousands when she has much more,” some of the reporters said to each other.
After Ye Qiao’s wealth was exposed, majority of the reporters below the stage were amazed and started to discuss amongst themselves. They had initially been influenced by public opinions and they really thought Ye Qiao and Su Mu had used his fame to make more money by embezzling money.
