Chapter 211: 【211】Are you willing to take responsibility for your words? _1
 

“Mr. Zhou said he would come down immediately to deal with it.”

Tang Feng put away his phone and looked at the man with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the man scoffed, “Do you really think I’m a fool? Who do you think our chairman is? Would he personally come to deal with your matter? Who do you think you are?”

Tang Feng did not get angry, but just looked at him quietly, “May I ask what your position at Kaiyue Hotel is?”

“What do you want to know that for?” the man looked at him warily.

“Nothing much, just curious,” Tang Feng said with an innocuous smile on his face.

“I’m the head of the welcome department, so what?” the man adjusted his uniform, looking quite authoritative.

“Oh, reaching that position must not have been easy, right?” Tang Feng said, as if chatting about family matters.

“What the hell are you trying to say?” the man was getting impatient.

Tang Feng glanced at his watch, “I mean, it couldn’t have been easy to climb to your current position, and it would be a shame to ruin your future over a moment of greed.”

The man immediately laughed mockingly, “Are you trying to scare me?”

Tang Feng nodded without dodging the question, “You can take it that way if you like. If you leave now, I might let you off the hook. But once Mr. Zhou comes down, it might not end well for you.”

To him, it was a well-intentioned warning, but to the man, it sounded ridiculously funny.

“Haha, my conscience is clear. Clearly, you took advantage of my sister and even hit her, and now you’re putting on a magnanimous act? Disgusting! Even if our chairman comes, what of it? No matter how powerful the chairman is, he can’t override ‘justice’!”

“Well said!”

Just as he made his impassioned speech, a very out-of-place voice chimed in.

Everyone turned to look and saw a refined middle-aged man, flanked by a crowd, stepping out of another elevator.

When Liu Ming saw the man, he shivered instinctively.

The spine that was straight just moments ago now bent instantly, and he scurried over, “Mr. Chairman, why did you come down?”

The middle-aged man was none other than Zhou Kai, the chairman of Qianda Group.

Following him were Bingrui and a group of Kaiyue Hotel’s executives.

Zhou Kai, seeing Tang Feng was unharmed, finally relaxed and his expression returned to normal, “What exactly happened?”

Liu Ming blurted out before anyone else could speak, “Chairman, I’ve just received a complaint that a male guest harassed a female guest in the elevator, and not only did he refuse to apologize, but he also hit her. Now the female guest is demanding compensation for emotional distress, but he’s being completely unreasonable…”

He had to admit, he had a knack for speaking.

First, he distanced himself from the woman, framing himself as an impartial operator, then painted Tang Feng as a bully.

Some of the customers who arrived later didn’t know what had happened.

After listening to his story, they looked at Tang Feng with disgust, thinking him to be quite a piece of work.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Kai suddenly asked, “So you got into a conflict with this gentleman? And you demanded he pay 100,000 yuan in compensation?”

Liu Ming’s heart plummeted, and he hastily explained, “Chairman, it’s not me blackmailing him for compensation, it’s the lady’s request…”

“Have you clarified the situation? Are you certain that it was this gentleman who harassed the lady? Did you see with your own eyes that he hit her? Can you stand behind your words?”

Zhou Kai fired off several questions at once, leaving Liu Ming dumbfounded.

“It’s… it’s what the lady told me. Surely a girl wouldn’t falsely accuse him…”

As he spoke, his voice became increasingly feeble.

What he didn’t anticipate was Tang Feng’s ability to actually bring the chairman into the situation, and he was overcome with regret.

If he had known about Tang Feng’s strong connections, he wouldn’t have dared to make things difficult for him even if he had a hundred times the courage.

Zhou Kai snorted coldly, “I don’t care if she’s a man or a woman, I only look at the evidence.”

At that moment, several technicians rushed in, the one in front was a rotund man holding a tablet computer, and upon reaching the chairman, he wiped the sweat off his brow.

“Chairman, we’ve retrieved the elevator surveillance footage for you to review,” said the chubby technician as he handed the tablet to Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai took the tablet and then gave Liu Ming a cold look, “Let’s all watch and see what actually happened in the elevator.”

After speaking, he played the video.

And there, the moment in the elevator unfolded on screen.

The woman stood in front of Tang Feng, while he deliberately turned slightly to the side, clearly trying to avoid any contact with her.

At least for the moment, he appeared to be quite the gentleman.

Many of the spectators who were unaware of the truth were baffled, wondering why the woman was so adamant that it was him who harassed her.

They soon got their answer.

The video continued to play, and now a hand suddenly appeared in the frame, belonging to the man with the mutton-chop beard that Tang Feng had identified earlier.

Taking advantage of the crowded elevator, he covertly groped the woman.

Immediately afterward, the woman turned and began berating Tang Feng without any justification.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone had an epiphany.

“Now the truth is out, it wasn’t this gentleman who touched her at all; she’s framing him.”

“Thank goodness for the surveillance, otherwise, she would have wrongly accused this guy to death.”

“This woman too, accusing someone without understanding the situation, she’s too rash, isn’t she?”

“She wouldn’t listen to the guy when he tried to explain, and she cursed so nastily, no wonder he hit her.”

“Yeah, if it were me, I’d want to hit her too…”

As the crowd voiced their disapproval, the woman’s face turned beet red with embarrassment.

She really thought it was Tang Feng who touched her, but now, with video evidence, she realized she had wronged him.

And the real perpetrator had been let off by her.
