Chapter 1170: Sending Red Envelopes?
When they saw Xu Hao's post turned out to be just a harmless, weak statement without any real rebuttal, Mao Family and others who had grudges against Xu Hao instantly laughed.
Mao Junyuan: "Hahaha! Xu Hao, are you at a loss for words? If you are, I suggest you buy a copy of 'Cihai' and learn Huaya language properly, lest you really become illiterate! If you become illiterate here with us, no one will laugh at you. After all, we are all civilized people, unlike some who just play lip service online. If you're so capable, then show us some real evidence to prove you're not involved in this matter!"
Proof of innocence has always been the hardest to provide. Proving one's own innocence is never an easy task.
Zhai Guang must have had a thorough plan before doing this. Although he failed last time, he was in contact with Xu Liu Group's people.
This time, they were only in contact with their own people. If Xu Hao could catch them out again, he might as well die!
Wu Mengchong: "Hahaha, Brother Junyuan is quite right. Xu Hao has always been extremely arrogant, yet he seems to have hit a wall now. He'll get what he deserves! His carefully crafted image from a while back could crumble!"
"A crumbled image would be a minor issue. The major impact would be a huge loss to his business, given that his products largely sell nostalgia. Otherwise, why did he make such a fuss when challenging Fein from America? Wasn't it because he wanted to become the contemporary Huo Yuanjia? Does he even deserve that title?!"
Wu Mengchong and the others reveled like it was a festival, spewing fragrant words against Xu Hao, precisely because Xu Hao had oppressed them too much. Given any opportunity, they'd relentlessly criticize Xu Hao, as if they wouldn't stop until Xu Hao was out of Huadu.
Seeing so many people who were already at odds with him now cursing incessantly, Xu Hao immediately said: "You people are just seeing a little illusion. Aren't you afraid this information is all fake? Aren't you afraid I'm baiting you on purpose?"
"Hahaha! Xu Hao, don't think you can persuade us to leave with such a trick. That's absolutely impossible! Since you did such a deceitful thing, you should be ready to face the consequences!" Mao Junyuan immediately replied.
Xu Hao: "Punish me? How can you punish me? Can you restrict my personal freedom or my assets?"
"Of course, we can't restrict anything. After all, your reputation, Xu Hao, is still there. We can only limit it to this extent for now, but we want you to pay! You've caused such a huge negative impact on so many people, why not compensate everyone? How about you just send a little ten or eight billion-dollar red envelope on the forum for everyone to grab?" Mao Junyuan laughed heartily.
When everyone saw what Mao Junyuan said, they were instantly excited.
That's like money falling from the sky; whoever doesn't pick it up is a fool!
Not picking up money means disrespecting God.
Even some who initially supported Xu Hao instantly shifted their loyalty upon seeing Mao Junyuan's suggestion and began to adore the Mao Family immensely.
Their fundamental reason was to support Mao Junyuan, hoping the Mao Family would pressure Xu Hao into giving them red envelopes online.
After all, it's Xu Hao spending the money, and they're all beneficiaries, so why shouldn't they be happy?
Mao Junyuan's move was indeed vicious, instantly pushing Xu Hao to the storm's eye. If Xu Hao issued red envelopes, it would mean he conceded. But if he didn't, he would offend a large group of people!
Ultimately, issuing red envelopes is Xu Hao's personal decision, and no one has the right to morally coerce him. However, the public opinion pressure from so many people is not something everyone can withstand, with so many people DMing you every day, bombarding you, constantly insulting you in hopes of waking you up, all for their private gain.
After all, everyone wants to pick up the money.
In his office, Xu Hao was momentarily stunned seeing such a response from Mao Junyuan, secretly acknowledging that Mao Junyuan still had some tricks up his sleeve.
However, Xu Hao was fearless, casually typing: "Of course, I can issue red envelopes, but only if I win and prove I didn't engage in such despicable acts. Otherwise, wouldn't I become the scapegoat?"
Mao Junyuan immediately replied: "Hahaha! Xu Hao, I see you just don't want to issue red envelopes, right? Everyone knows you did it, so why bother denying it? If you can produce concrete evidence to prove your innocence, name your wager!"
Xu Hao chuckled softly, speaking remotely: "Mao Junyuan, my requirements aren't high; I believe you can meet them."
