(First Update) 284: Chapter 285 Basic Virtue!

(First Update) If the previous refusals were mere conjectures, Tang Zhong’s words now were an absolute and unequivocal refusal.

At that moment, everyone was shocked.

To refuse Huang Feiyang’s mother was to refuse Huang Feiyang himself.

Many people were paying attention to this matter, after all, it was the promise of Huang Feiyang from Feiyang Corporation, and now to see it rejected, more people thought Tang Zhong had gone mad—refusing Huang Feiyang was akin to turning down a fortune.

Moreover, it was the final sentence that mattered most.

“I am a Xuan Country person, I like to help others for joy!”

After all, this was foreign territory, and previously people didn’t understand Xuan Country people very well, but now, discovering that a humble Xuan Country designer could utter such words made them feel it was time to reevaluate their opinions of Xuan Country people.

Jiang Weiwei and the others were also stunned.

“Has Tang Zhong lost his mind?” Li Chuwen asked, “So many people suck up to Huang Feiyang and can’t get close to him!”

“Perhaps, he feels he doesn’t need that stuff,” Weiwei whispered, but admiration was increasingly evident in her eyes.

She was beginning to find Tang Zhong more and more charismatic.

“He’s just a junior designer, how can he possibly not need it?

I remember, when he applied to our company, he was willing to work for a salary of ten thousand!” Li Chuwen continued.

All eyes were on Tang Zhong, curious, but their views changed because of his last statement,

Xuan Country people truly have integrity.

Media present at the event also began to focus on Tang Zhong, reporting on him.

At this moment, Huang Feiyang’s mother was also surprised by Tang Zhong’s words, “You are my granddaughter’s lifesaver, we must repay you for your kindness!”

“Since you insist on repaying, then…

I really can’t think of anything I need.

How about this, just give me money!” Tang Zhong said to the elderly woman.

“Alright!” Huang Feiyang’s mother immediately agreed.

Tang Zhong’s words, heard by others, were met with derision, and even Huang Feiyang started to smirk.

So, in the end, it was about money?

After all the talk about not wanting it, he was just as hypocritical as anyone else, laughable.

The online fans following the incident began commenting under the live stream video.

“See that?

What bullshit about being a Xuan Country person, talking all grandly just moments ago, and now it’s still about money, hilarious!”

“Exactly!”

The fans defending Tang Zhong were at a loss for what to say, after all, he did indeed refuse money before but now was asking for it.

“I’m switching from fan to hater, this guy is unreliable!”

And at that time, everyone at the scene was looking at Tang Zhong, wanting to know how much the man who kept saying he didn’t want money would ask for now.

Huang Feiyang stepped forward and said coldly to Tang Zhong, “Just say it, how much, I’ll give it to you!”

Tang Zhong smiled and raised a finger.

Everyone looked on.

What did that mean?

“One million?” Huang Feiyang said.

Tang Zhong shook his head.

“Ten million?” Huang Feiyang continued.

Each increase in price tugged at the hearts of those around, to get ten million for nothing would be thrilling, but the higher the price went, the more they felt disgusted with Tang Zhong; ten million was surely more than enough.

But what none of them expected was for Tang Zhong to shake his head again.

“This guy is way too ruthless.”

“Does he want a hundred million?”

“Damn, so the grandstanding was just a setup for demanding money now!”

Li Chuwen became anxious, “What is Tang Zhong trying to do?”

Jiang Weiwei smiled as she watched the scene, recalling when she had once offered Tang Zhong a raise, and he had similarly held up a finger.

She knew the amount that represented, and now, she was growing more and more satisfied with Tang Zhong.

Such a man was indeed a real man.

At that moment, Huang Feiyang looked at Tang Zhong, his expression darkening, the contempt in his gaze was clear: “One hundred million!”

That price, once uttered, silenced the whole room.

One hundred million was nothing for Huang Feiyang, but for others, it was astronomical; many people could struggle their entire lives without amassing such wealth.

The crowd then shifted their attention back to Tang Zhong, believing he had just hit the jackpot.

Foreign networks were abuzz; it wasn’t just Tang Zhong’s fans watching the event, but also international netizens.

The news that Huang Feiyang was willing to spend a hundred million in gratitude was so shocking that they immediately turned on their computers and TVs to watch the live broadcast and follow the story.

It could be said that the event had already caused a sensation abroad.

Comments numbered in the millions.

“If it were me, I would have taken the hundred million!”

“Damn, that’s a lot of money; I would definitely have taken it!”

“Only a fool would turn it down!”

At that moment, surrounded by the crowd, confronted with Huang Feiyang’s offer of a hundred million, Tang Zhong bowed his head and started to smile.

This scene was witnessed by others with scorn.

Was he tempted after all?

Did he need to keep on pretending?

But what Tang Zhong said next shocked everyone present, as well as the international netizens watching online.

Tang Zhong, looking at Huang Feiyang, said, “I’m sorry, but when I held up one finger, I meant I’ll take just one dollar.”

One dollar.

At that moment, the crowd was stunned into silence; everyone’s mouths could have fitted in their shoes.

No one had expected it to be like this.

All major media outlets immediately aimed their cameras at Tang Zhong; this was absolutely big news.

Li Chuwen was stunned, “Weiwei, did you hear that?

That guy said one dollar, he rejected a hundred million and just took one dollar!

Am I…

Am I living in a dream?!”

“No, it’s not a dream, it’s true.

That’s just the kind of person he is!” At this time, Jiang Weiwei was smiling as she watched Tang Zhong.

Honestly, she was moved.

As the live video from the venue was broadcasted, those foreign netizens who had mocked Tang Zhong on the internet stopped their jeering.

Millions of people stopped spamming; no one had expected such a scene.

After a while, those who worshipped Tang Zhong started to flood the screen with a wave of ‘666’.

And those who had previously mocked Tang now fell silent.

This news had caused a sensation throughout Yun Country.

At that moment, in the midst of the event, when Huang Feiyang heard Tang Zhong’s raised finger signifying one dollar, he was completely dumbfounded.

One dollar.

Not a hundred million.

How could this be possible?

He had been dominating the business world for many years and had never encountered such a situation.

He’d seen many young people in poverty who, once granted a promise by a wealthy individual, would demand tens of millions, but this man asked for only one dollar.

“There’s more…” Tang Zhong’s voice rang out again.

Hearing Tang speak, everyone’s gaze focused on him.

All reporters turned their cameras squarely on Tang Zhong.

Even online netizens stopped their comments, silently watching the video of Tang Zhong.

At that moment, Tang Zhong, with a smile, said, “If you insist on rewarding me, I think one dollar is enough.

If you’re willing to give it, then give it; if not, just forget it.

Moreover, your promise really isn’t of any use to me, so let’s just leave it at that.

Besides, helping you was a mere triviality, a basic moral virtue of every Xuan Country citizen.

So, I must go now!”

Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tang Zhong walked over to the group from Leya International and, without paying any mind to the stunned onlookers, cheerfully said, “Let’s go, we got what we came for; time to head back home!”

“Okay!” Jiang Weiwei nodded.

Then, with her people following behind Tang Zhong, they slowly left the venue.

Huang Feiyang was still standing there in a daze, watching Tang Zhong’s retreating figure with increasing admiration and then laughing at himself.

It seemed after all these years, he had forgotten his roots.

Indeed, a simple act of assistance, a Xuan Country person’s virtue.

“Thank you for teaching me a lesson!”

This scene was captured by the surrounding reporters.

The words of Tang Zhong completely shocked them, and Huang Feiyang’s comments even more so.

That young designer had actually just given a lesson to the head of Feiyang Corporation.

It was astonishing.

And that basic moral virtue of the Xuan Country people!

Most online comments were: “People from Xuan Country, 666!”

“People from Xuan Country are amazing, that Xuan Country person was something else!”

“I have this urge to move to Xuan Country!”

“Yeah!”

Unintentionally, a young designer from Xuan Country, whose name no one knew, became completely famous in Yun Country.
