Life on a deserted island with a rich daughter

Chapter 226 What's the Use of My Money?

"I'm really sorry. As the mayor of Huanghua City, I never thought that such a major event would happen. On behalf of Huanghua City, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to all the families."

The middle-aged man stood up, expressionless, and then bowed to the people below.

But the people below were not moved. Even the mayor of Huanghua City bowed to them. These people didn't react at all, but became even more angry.

"Mr. Mayor, what's the use of your apology? What I want is that my son can come back safe and sound. If no one can come back, what's the use of apologizing?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed like a lady stood up and shouted.

It can be seen from her gorgeous and elegant dress that she should be a noble lady.

But even so, it can be seen from the swollen corners of her eyes that she probably cried a lot.

"This family member, I can understand your feelings very well, but everything has already happened."

"And we also sent a lot of rescue forces to rescue, but none of the missing ships and personnel were found."

"For this, as the mayor of Huanghua City, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to all the families."

"At the same time, a condolence money is also distributed to each family member. I hope that the family members can understand us for the more than 150 million condolence money."

The mayor was very calm and said calmly, not being moved by the middle-aged woman's emotions.

It's no wonder that people who can take this position must be well-trained, at least they can have certain abilities in the entire business and official circles.

But when she heard the condolence money, the middle-aged woman couldn't help laughing angrily.

"Mayor, are you kidding me? Don't you know that our Wang family is one of the best big families in Huanghua City? Do you think money is needed for us?"

Also, as the most powerful family in Huanghua City.

Their Wang family is not short of money at all. If they don't have anything, they need a lot of money.

This middle-aged woman is Wang Sheng's mother, and she is also in charge of half of their Wang family's property.

Indeed, money is of no use to them at all.

"Yes, I understand your feelings very well, and I am also deeply sorry for this matter."

But the mayor didn't seem to want to follow up on what the middle-aged woman said, he just apologized blindly.

This further aroused the dissatisfaction of the family members below.

Everyone stood up and raised their hands, just to express their dissatisfaction.

You have to say that in normal times, this kind of scene is absolutely impossible to happen now.

No matter what, the crowd will be controlled, but only now, even though the family members below express their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

But the mayor on the stage was unmoved, just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

At this time, an old man sitting in the last row silently took out a piece of cigarette paper from his pocket.

He took out a bit of shredded tobacco from a bag of shredded tobacco and placed it in the center of the cigarette paper.

Wrapped in this white cigarette paper, the shredded tobacco the size of a fingernail was rolled into the shape of a cigarette and placed on the dry and cracked lips.

This is a ragged, very plain old man.

The well-dressed and aristocratic family members who were present were very different and seemed even more out of place.

Just as the old man was about to light the cigarette with the lighter, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and directly blocked the lighter and the cigarette.

"Sorry, no smoking here, this is a meeting room."

The person who blocked him was a man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing black glasses, and a Bluetooth headset pinned to his ear.

This sudden move made the journalists present sense the opportunity of the news.

He quickly shifted all the cameras, cameras and cannons, aiming at the old man.

The family members who were still arguing at the scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone present was watching the old man attentively, but the old man didn't seem to feel anxious because of the sudden flashing light, but his eyes were a little dazed.

"Why can't you smoke? I haven't heard anything from my grandson until now."

"It's been more than 40 days, and I don't even know whether he is alive or dead now. After thinking about him for so many days, can't I even smoke a cigarette to relieve my worries?"

The old man was expressionless, looking at the cameras and cannons with empty eyes, and said these words slowly.

And those flashing lights were even more dazzling, but the old man was not dazzled by them.

"Forget it, Xiao Chen, let him smoke."

At this time, the mayor on the stage stood up and said, with a complicated expression.

The bodyguard named Xiao Chen withdrew his hand, like a robot, and retreated to the side after receiving the order.

The old man didn't look back at the mayor either, but just continued the previous action of lighting the fire.

"Clap!"

The lighter was lit, and the hand-rolled cigarette was also lit.

The old man took a deep breath and exhaled smoke rings, as if his thoughts were lingering in the entire conference room.

And those family members quarreled again because of this episode.

"Mayor, what do you think my daughter will do?"

"The search and rescue team has been searching and rescuing for more than 40 days. Why is there no news at all? Don't you know to follow the route of the accident cruise ship?"

"My son is the only son of our family. If something happens to him, I won't live anymore, and I will die in this place when the time comes."

The family members at the scene reached an uncontrollable state, crying and making noise.

But unlike them, the mayor remained silent.

Sitting on the mayor's table, it seemed as if he was accepting the accusations and abuse from these family members.

The cameras and cannons of the journalists were aimed at the mayor again, and the entire meeting room was very noisy.

"Dear audience friends, now we can see that the family members present are very angry and want an explanation..."

A female reporter said to the camera in a dignified attire.

It seems that it is too noisy here, and it seems that it is because there is no explanation.

After the old man finished smoking the cigarette, he threw it on the ground and stomped it out.

Then he got up, sighed, turned around and was about to leave through the back door of the meeting room.

At this time, the female reporter saw that the old man was about to leave, so she immediately signaled to the cameraman to follow.

"Hello, master, I see that you have taken away all the bags you carry with you. Are you not going to pursue responsibility?"

The old man brought a sack with him when he came in, and he didn't know what was in it.

The female reporter saw that he was carrying a sack when he got up, so she guessed that he was leaving.

"Pursuing? What are you pursuing? What you get in exchange for sitting here for a long time is an apology and sorry."

"Furthermore, that money. I am an old man who is 80 or [-] years old. What is the use of so much money?"

When the old man said this, he had a very helpless expression on his face.
