"You're too quiet. I can't hear you. Hey, you, bring me a microphone," Chen Hao ordered, pointing at a hostess nearby.
The hostess had been watching the spectacle too. When Chen Hao singled her out, she was flustered and froze for a while before reacting.
Despite her delicate features and harmless appearance, the hostess was a troublemaker herself. Asked to fetch one microphone, she gathered all four microphones in the venue and brought them over.
Tang Hualong and Pang Xiao exchanged looks, utterly speechless. Neither stepped forward to take one.
Was this some kind of joke? Apologizing into a microphone? If word got out, they would lose every shred of dignity.
Seeing their hesitation, Jia Zhengyi hurried them along. "What's wrong? Does Chen Hao have to call you up one by one?"
Tang Hualong reluctantly picked up a microphone. One glance at Pang Xiao's strange expression nearly made him laugh despite himself.
Pang Xiao gritted his teeth and struggled with himself before finally picking up the second microphone with a sigh.
Seeing his father take one, Pang Jiawei could only follow suit.
Chen Hao picked up the last microphone and announced to everyone in the venue, "Everyone, look over here! The Pang Group and Director Tang are going to apologize to me in person. You're all witnesses!"
Once his voice rang out over the speakers, even those outside the venue or farther away heard what was happening. Within seconds, over a hundred people had gathered around.
"What's going on? The Pang Group is apologizing to someone?"
"Did I hear that right? The Pang Group, one of the Four Major Conglomerates? Who did they offend to have to apologize publicly?"
"Who cares? Let's go watch. Remember to record it. Upload this and it'll definitely go viral."
