Chapter 183 Rachel Was Interviewed


    "Uncle Richard, Mr. Zhao, I''m the one who caused this issue. Rachel became the target of the public


    after I chose to save Lydia instead of her. I can''t ept letting her exin my actions, and I don''t think


    anyone else would either. I''ve to be the one to clear things up."


    A few people nodded, but others shook their heads. It soon became a lively debate.


    "What Mr. Rong has said is true. But we should put ourpany''s interests first. After all, this is the


    most effective way, " one of the directors said.


    "Mr. Wu, I think that Mr. Rong''s words are very reasonable. If the public starts making up details, then it


    will be more detrimental to ourpany, " one of the shareholders said.


    "It depends on how it is done! We can neither show it, nor hide it. We should let the public know what


    the facts are. That''s the only way to regain their trust."


    "I think what Mr. Wu said makes sense. As long as Mr. Rong and his wife appear in public a few times


    and show their love to each other, the gossip will disappear soon."


    Hiram didn''t want to listen to their opinions. Furrowing his eyebrows, he said, "That''s all for today. Let''s


    wind this up."


    The directors in the conference room quickly dispersed, leaving Luke and Chad with Hiram.


    "Chad, give me the notebook, " Hiram said.


    Chad nodded and showed him an article about the kidnapping that was online.


    Hiram immediately looked at thements and found that most of them wereints about him.


    Although many days had passed since the incident, the public''sints hadn''t reduced. Instead,


    they were bing more and more intense.


    "Hey, Chad, do you know why this became such a hot topic?" Luke asked, knocking the table in front of


    him.


    Chad thought about it and then said, "All wives like to ask their husbands the question ''If both your


    mother and your wife fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?'' and now the question


    finally happened in real life."


    "That''s right. But it''s not just that. Many people despise the rich, and Hiram is the richest man in H city.


    On the other hand, Rachel came from an average family.


    Do you see? They''replete opposites."


    Luke drank a sip of his tea before continuing, "On top of that, the main group of people who are worried


    about this is parents with only one child. They''re wondering about what would happen to their


    daughters if they get married into a rich family, and if they would also be cruelly abandoned in the


    future.


    So, everyone is angry about the way this incident was handled. They are not happy with Hiram''s


    decision at that time."


    Chad shook his head. "It''s true that this kind of thing always bes a hot topic. Moreover, this time, it


    happened in the Rong family."


    "Hiram, it seems that you can''t hide it anymore. This incident will undoubtedly push Rachel to the


    public, " Luke said, looking worriedly at Hiram.


    Hiram closed the notebook without saying anything and checked the time on his watch.


    She had arrived in H City.


    "Sooner orter, she will confront the public. I''m just afraid that she''s not ready yet."


    If her identity was known by the public, it would have a certain impact on both her work and her


    personal life.


    She wouldn''t be able to get along with her colleagues like she usually would.


    Meanwhile, Rachel was asleep in the back seat of a bus.


    Two weeks ago, she had handed her phone in as the rest of her colleagues had so that they wouldn''t


    be distracted during the training. She hadn''t had any chance to find out what was happening in the


    outside world, but the oue of her training was outstanding. The whole group had acquired more


    skills under Daniel''s leadership.


    "Look at thetest news! Ourpany has be a hot topic!"


    "What''s wrong? Why? Why can''t I see it?"


    "''Because of the theater kidnapping case, the president of Streams Company, Hiram Rong, bes


    the target of public criticism, causing the stock of Streams Company to hit an all-time low!''"


    "Does it mean we''re in a critical period now?"


    "It shouldn''t matter too much. Streams Company is a century-old business, so such a small news


    couldn''t make it go bankrupt."


    "Let me see it… Wait, did you see this? The surname of Mr. Rong''s wife is Ruan, and she works at


    Streams Company too."


    "Rachel! Wake up! She has the same surname as you!"


    Rachel, who was half-asleep, opened her eyes a little and nced at the two colleagues in front of her.


    "What? I''m so sleepy… Let me sleep for a while..."


    The two colleagues began to chat between themselves again, holding their phones.


    "Oh! Life is so different to two women with the same surname! Mr. Rong''s wife is quite fortunate! If I


    could be Mr. Rong''s wife, I''d be willing to be kidnapped ten times!"


    "Don''t dream about it… Check thements! Everyone is saying that nowadays, marrying the rich is a


    risk. Huh! They must be daydreaming! Do they really believe that they would be chosen by the rich?"


    "Look at thisment. It says it''s better to get married to a poor man. At least a poor man will treat you


    like a treasure rather than a bird!"


    "What does that mean?" asked the female colleague sitting on the right.


    "It means the life of a bird is worthless, " the woman on the left exined roughly.


    Daniel, who had woken up because of their loud voices, shouted at them with a frown, "Shut up. Talk


    about this at home, not here!"


    He sat up, stretched his arms and turned to look at Rachel, who had also woken up because of the


    noise.


    "Rachel, let''s take a day off. What are you going to do? Do you want to go home and take rest?" he


    asked casually, rubbing his shoulder.


    Rachel''s eyes were still blurry from sleep. "I''m going to go back to thepany, " she said.


    When she''d left thepany two weeks ago to board the bus, she''d forgotten to take some of her stuff


    with her.


    Daniel looked at her eyes and said nothing.


    The bus stopped at the intersection of Streams Company''s main building, and all the staff got off.


    When Rachel walked past the gate of thepany, she saw a few people gathered outside. Based on


    the cameras in their hands, she guessed that they were reporters.


    Rachel continued to walk inside, but she was suddenly stopped by one of them.


    "Are you an employee of Streams Company? Can you ept our interview?"


    A reporter asked. He had noticed that she was holding an ID card in her hand. Since he was idle


    anyway, he figured that he could at least interview employees about what they thought about the issue.

    Rachel looked at the reporter, then at her arm. The reporter, realizing that he was grasping her arm,


    immediately released her.


    "Don''t be nervous. Just answer a few questions! What do you think about the kidnapping case in H


    City? What do you think about Hiram Rong saving his sister instead of his wife?"


    The reporter asked, holding a microphone out to her.
