Chapter 938 - 356: Fishing Starts with Baiting the Spot (Part 2)
Leng Bing’s words were just spoken, some time has passed since.
When he said those words, the room was filled with disdain, hardly anyone paid attention.
The looks they gave Leng Bing were full of contempt.
Basically, at that time, there was no one willing to look at Leng Bing directly.
At that time, prejudice was already consuming everyone’s attention, no one really questioned whether Leng Bing had been wrongly accused because, in this world, prejudice is truly the main theme.
People just go with the flow, following the mainstream.
As opinions began to reverse, everyone suddenly realized it seemed they had wronged Leng Bing.
Leng Bing was the one truly aggrieved.
These onlookers had no right to be sarcastic.
Sometimes, due to the nature of certain work, those carrying out tasks have no opportunity to refuse, nor can they refuse.
If they died, it would be simple, all would be settled.
But Leng Bing did not die.
He was forcibly transferred to The Ninth Bureau by Zhang Beixing, and once there, Zhang Beixing didn’t assign him behind-the-scenes tasks. Instead, he was thrust directly into the spotlight.
"Perhaps your prejudice against me cannot be quickly erased."
"But I still hope everyone can give me a little more trust."
"When Minister Zhang Beixing gave me the position of the second team leader, I knew the responsibility on my shoulders grew heavier."
"I hope everyone can give me a chance."
"Regardless of whether you misunderstood me before or truly have prejudice against me, I hope you can give me a chance."
"Errors can be unreasonably attributed to me, but I hope you’ll give me a chance to prove myself."
After speaking, Leng Bing bowed deeply to the audience.
Dead silence.
No one responded.
It’s not that they didn’t want to respond.
They dare not respond.
Having treated Leng Bing with such cold violence, it’s hard to shamelessly stand by him now and cheer him on.
Sparsely, a few claps were heard.
These applause came from Zhang Beixing, from the second team members, and The Ninth Bureau staff.
Before joining The Ninth Bureau, Leng Bing was considered the second internal member.
He was once Commander Zhang Delin’s secretary.
The founding of The Ninth Bureau, first recommended by this big shot.
Otherwise, relying solely on the pitifully low support rates of the Extraordinary Reservists, without Zhang Delin’s strong backing.
The Ninth Bureau would still be established, just the founding time would be indefinitely postponed.
Possibly a month, possibly a year.
Maybe even several years.
No one can say for sure.
All the people in The Ninth Bureau applauded.
From three to five, eventually growing to a dozen or two dozen.
Wave after wave of applause.
When the applause grew increasingly enthusiastic, the media present finally began to react.
They joined the applause, one after another, the clapping sound continued incessantly.
Leng Bing’s eyes started to fill with tears.
Even though he knew the applause from the audience wasn’t entirely for him.
Even though he knew much of it was because of Zhang Beixing, and many factors related to his old superior.
But that didn’t stop the tears from flowing.
"Thank you, everyone."
Leng Bing bowed deeply to everyone below the stage.
Zhang Beixing checked the time, realizing it was almost up, and the atmosphere was nearly set.
He waved to the backstage.
Immediately, several second team members filed in, coming to the hall stage.
They stood in a line, positioned behind Leng Bing.
Leng Bing, with eyes red from crying, looked back at his team members, a bit bewildered.
This isn’t right.
This wasn’t in the script.
Normally.
Minister Zhang Beixing should say a few words first, fully setting the stage before the team members appear.
That’s how the shows Leng Bing watched growing up usually went.
Even though this is a press conference, not a TV show, the meaning should be similar.
And when these second team members fully appeared in everyone’s view.
They were stunned.
Many people were stunned.
No one expected that most of this so-called second team are female members, and these girls, each one, looked so radiant???
Hmm???
For a moment, they started to wonder if they had just entrusted their trust in Leng Bing wrongly.
After finally beginning to trust Leng Bing, turns out this bushy-browed guy recruited all female team members.
Is this...
Recruiting team members or forming a harem?
At this moment, Zhang Beixing finally did the humane thing.
He stepped forward and came to the front stage, tapped the microphone, and spoke.
"I know everyone may have some doubts, why are Leng Bing’s team members mostly female, let me explain."
"This was my requirement."
"Because before, some incidents happened at the training base, so such a decision was made. I can’t explain what exactly happened."
"But at least let me clarify here, the team members chosen by Captain Leng Bing were not by his own request, but I forced him to choose."
"Let me clearly state, I gave him only the option of female members, there were no male members."
"His selection had only the opportunity to choose female team members, no chance to select male team members."
After he spoke, everyone was looking around at each other.
The reporters below the stage, and the crowd here for a show, glanced at each other.
Even if they didn’t know each other, it didn’t prevent them from exchanging looks with whispers.
Zhang Beixing, after briefly glancing around.
Let the center of the press conference stage be given to those team members.
Several female team members were obviously quite excited.
But perhaps they hadn’t experienced such a scene facing thousands of people when really on stage to introduce themselves.
For a moment, several stuttered their way through.
Those who could confidently introduce themselves were very few, only one or two.
After they completed their self-introductions, Zhang Beixing noted the time seemed about right and took the microphone back.
"Alright, thank you all for attending this press conference, the content is almost complete, when you go back to write your articles, I hope you speak cautiously."
"I do not limit your freedom of speech rights, but I hope you deal with the matter and speak only the facts."
"Someone will be assigned to review your articles, as long as you don’t deliberately smear, even if you have some attack, I won’t interfere."
"However, if you are like those guys previously captured, deliberately smearing for the sake of smearing, sorry, the capacity to provide for you the entire time would be within The Ninth Bureau’s ability."
"Alright, lastly, thank you all."
After Zhang Beixing finished speaking.
Smoothly, without any pause, he directly left with several team members.
Almost all remaining attendees were still somewhat bewildered.
Just now, were Zhang Beixing’s words threatening them?
Huh?
Hard to judge, right?
Should be, perhaps?
Many hesitated, many were indignant.
But ultimately no one stood to say anything, they chose to leave calmly.
After all, the one who said those words was Zhang Beixing!
Famous reputation, like a tree’s shadow.
Zhang Beixing’s great renown was forged by his own hands, not puffed up by others.
The despairing appearance of those just captured still replayed in their minds.
