Chapter 223 Who Put Daisies on My Parents'' Graves? (2)


    Kerry''s eyes were cold, "This amusement park will take business away from many people’s. Of course


    they want it to get a bad reputation before it opens. There are too many people who want to set me


    up."


    "So what are you going to do about it?" asked Venus.


    "The families of the dead have been sent back to their home overnight. Without theming out to


    cause trouble, there won''t be much trouble. They''re trying to ruin my amusement park business with a


    picture. It’s ridiculous." Kerry said calmly.


    "So, have you picked an opening date yet?"


    "Not yet. The amusement park staffs are in training. Now this is happening suddenly. I need to get


    someone to figure out a good date to open it.”


    Venus was silent for a few seconds and said, "Can you postpone its opening for a month?"


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Why?" Kerry asked.


    Venus looked serious, "In a month, my agreement with the man with the silver mask will expire. We


    can''t let Xuan leave now, just in case the man with the silver mask will y tricks on us. If this


    amusement park opens, there will be no need for Xuan to stay here. Once he leaves, we''ll lose one


    bargaining chip."


    Kerry had almost forgotten about this. After Venus mentioned it, he remembered the importance of


    Xuan Chu.


    "You''re right. Since Xuan is here, we can''t let him get away." said Kerry.


    "And with the extra month you can decorate the amusement park properly. After it''s been decorated


    more perfectly, then you can present it to the customers." said Venus.


    Kerry looked at Venus with a strange look. He felt like she''d suddenly matured a lot.


    Venus saw his gaze and smiled, "Don''t look at me like that. It''s actually the same as making clothes; a


    dress that takes three days to make is definitely not as good as one that takes a month to make."


    "You’re right," Kerry said leaning in close to her and staring into her eyes, "I''ve noticed that you seem to


    have changed a lot."


    "People always have to grow up." Venus continued to eat the porridge from her own bowl.


    She became mature, but she paid a price for it. If she could, she would have preferred to remain an


    infantile child forever.


    ......


    The car was still on its way to the office when Secretary Liu''s call came in. She said there were more


    than ten people blocking the entrance to the office to interview Kerry, and she asked Kerry to enter the


    office through the elevator in the underground garage.


    "Are these journalists free every day? I''ve been in the headlines many times this year," Kerry


    comined.


    "It''s not that they want to pay attention to you, it''s that the people behind them pay attention to you.


    They listen to whoever pays their sries. Now that you''re a talking head again, news about you will be


    more attractive to the public. That''s all they small journalists can do to make money." Venus exnt.


    Kerry looked at her in amazement, "You know so much about it?"


    "My teacher used to be a journalist. He mentioned his experience in ss."


    At the office, Kerry called the head of publicity department. "Get those reporters into the conference


    room. I''ll be there at 9:30 for an interview."


    "Mr. Ye, you said before that you would prevent this news from spreading. Why will you respond to the


    matter?" he asked, surprised.


    Kerry said tly, "When the news didn''t leak, of course I had to take measures to prevent the news


    from spreading. Now that it''s leaked, I''d rather respond to the matter, lest someone continue to hype it


    later."


    "I understand."


    Too many things can happen in a month. In today''s society, the death of a migrant worker is like a gust


    of wind. It blows today, and tomorrow it''s gone. And avoiding the matter will only allow the people


    behind it to hype it.


    At 9:30 a.m., Kerry arrived at the conference room, cameras and microphones all pointed at him.


    Kerry looked around with a smile on his face and said, "I heard that you reporters came here this


    morning without eating. You guys are so dedicated!"


    As soon as the reporters heard what he said, they knew that he was mocking them.


    "Mr. Ye, can you tell us more about the ident at the construction site yesterday afternoon?" A female


    reporter was the first to ask.


    Kerry looked at her with a cold expression, "That''s why I''m here. Have a seat, everyone. It''s the same


    story you''ve been hearing. A worker fell off the building and died. We immediately contacted his family,


    and offered them a generouspensation. His family was very pleased."


    "Does this mean that there is a loophole in the safety measures at your site?" Another reporter asked.


    Kerry said with ease, "I can assure you that there are no problems with the safety measures at our


    amusement park. If you have any questions, you can go to the construction site and check out."


    “If so, why did this tragedy happen?"


    "I''m sorry about this incident as well. ording to his family''s description, the worker had severe high


    blood pressure. Perhaps he just happened to be unwell before the tragedy urred," Kerry said.


    The reporters looked at each other. How could there be a hidden story?


    "Then I''d like to ask Mr. Ye if you could disclose the contact information of the family, we''d like to


    interview them." A reporter continued to ask.


    Eventually, Kerry turned cold. "I respect your spirit of seeking the truth, but there is a bottom line to


    everything. Their loved one has just died and they are very sad, yet you go to their homes and ask


    questions. I want to ask you, do you think this is appropriate?"


    The reporter who asked the question lowered his head in embarrassment. But some journalists kept


    asking, "But that''s your side of the story. We can''t just believe what you say."


    Kerry smiled coldly, "You came to my office early in the morning to ask about this very thing. Now I''ve


    made it clear, and you say that''s my side of the story. I don''t understand why you have to bother with


    me when it was just an ident. Are you here to find the truth, or are you helping others to deliberately


    make things difficult for me?"


    "And if the family had any objections, they would have gone to the media, or to the authorities, to


    comin. Now they haven''t said anything. They just want to go home quietly and have a funeral, and


    that''s their attitude." Kerry continued.


    There was silence in the room, and Kerry looked at everyone with indifference for a moment before


    asking, "Is there anything else you''d like to ask?"


    No one said anything, just shook their heads.


    "I have work to do, so I''ll leave," Kerry looked at the head of the publicity department and said, "Please


    see the reporters off for me."


    "Yes, Mr. Ye."


    Kerry strode out of the meeting room, and the head of the publicity department took out more than ten


    red envelopes from his bag and handed them out to each of them in turn.


    Everyone smiled, and took the red envelopes and left.


    Because of Kerry''s exnation and the red envelope, most reporters were much more cautious when


    writing their articles. So after the afternoon reports came out, the bad opinion about Kerry gradually


    became less.


    At that time, Henry also got the news. It was true that one of the other amusement parks had told the


    media about the incident, and that otherpanies that had had problems with the Yehuang Group


    were deliberately involved, and it was Mu''s Group that had contributed the most.


    Kerryughed. Before, there was Hao Nangong wherever there was something wrong and now he was


    no longer out to get him in trouble, and Mu''s Group started to get him in trouble again. He was really


    curious if it was Tianye Mu behind this.


    "If it''s him, how did he survive? How could he be willing to hide in the shadows for so long? It''s so


    unlike him." Kerry thought.


    Xuan Chu grew ustomed to the way things were done here, and admired Kerry''s tactics. But when


    Kery offered to postpone the opening date, Xuan disagreed.


    "Why postpone it? Aren''t things settled now?" asked Xuan.


    "Something just happened at the construction site, and it''s too bad to open it now. Besides, our staff


    training is still immature, and some of the facilities inside are not yetplete. If the amusement park


    opens now, it won''t be good for its long-term development." Kerry made up excuses.


    After a few moments of silence, Xuan asked, "How long are you going to postpone the opening?"


    "Now, It''s the end of August and it’ll open on September 30th."


    "A monthter?"


    Kerry smiled casually, "Yes, the day after we open is the National Day. Many people will be there.


    There are many things we need to do before then, such as a lot of pre-publicity, checking all the


    equipment, etc., to make it perfect."


    Xuan thought for a long time on the phone.


    Kerry picked a good date, but that meant he would have to stay in the city for another month.


    As soon as the job site was finished, Venus had a problem.


    Kerry was in his office reading the file of the day, and Venus ran into his office in a panic.


    He was shocked and ran over to help her, "What''s wrong?"


    Venus cried before he spoke, "He wants to hurt the baby."


    "Did he call you? Take your time." Kerry helped her to the couch.


    Venus trembled and handed him the phone.


    Kerry opened the phone and saw a video. The video was opened and the child''s cute smiling face


    appeared. He was then carried by a pair of hands to a bathtub full of water, and then, with a thud, the


    child was thrown into the tub.
