My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 223

Kerry's eyes were cold, "This amusement park will take business away from many people’s. Of course they want it to get a bad reputation before it opens. There are too many people who want to set me up."

"So what are you going to do about it?" asked Venus.

"The families of the dead have been sent back to their home overnight. Without them coming out to cause trouble, there won't be much trouble. They're trying to ruin my amusement park business with a picture. It’s ridiculous." Kerry said calmly.

"So, have you picked an opening date yet?"

"Not yet. The amusement park staffs are in training. Now this is happening suddenly. I need to get someone to figure out a good date to open it.”

Venus was silent for a few seconds and said, "Can you postpone its opening for a month?"

"Why?" Kerry asked.

Venus looked serious, "In a month, my agreement with the man with the silver mask will expire. We can't let Xuan leave now, just in case the man with the silver mask will play tricks on us. If this amusement park opens, there will be no need for Xuan to stay here. Once he leaves, we'll lose one bargaining chip."

Kerry had almost forgotten about this. After Venus mentioned it, he remembered the importance of Xuan Chu.

"You're right. Since Xuan is here, we can't let him get away." said Kerry.

"And with the extra month you can decorate the amusement park properly. After it's been decorated more perfectly, then you can present it to the customers." said Venus.

Kerry looked at Venus with a strange look. He felt like she'd suddenly matured a lot.

Venus saw his gaze and smiled, "Don't look at me like that. It's actually the same as making clothes; a dress that takes three days to make is definitely not as good as one that takes a month to make."

"You’re right," Kerry said leaning in close to her and staring into her eyes, "I've noticed that you seem to have changed a lot."

"People always have to grow up." Venus continued to eat the porridge from her own bowl.

She became mature, but she paid a price for it. If she could, she would have preferred to remain an infantile child forever.

......

The car was still on its way to the office when Secretary Liu's call came in. She said there were more than ten people blocking the entrance to the office to interview Kerry, and she asked Kerry to enter the office through the elevator in the underground garage.

"Are these journalists free every day? I've been in the headlines many times this year," Kerry complained.

"It's not that they want to pay attention to you, it's that the people behind them pay attention to you. They listen to whoever pays their salaries. Now that you're a talking head again, news about you will be more attractive to the public. That's all they small journalists can do to make money." Venus explant.

Kerry looked at her in amazement, "You know so much about it?"

"My teacher used to be a journalist. He mentioned his experience in class."

At the office, Kerry called the head of publicity department. "Get those reporters into the conference room. I'll be there at 9:30 for an interview."

"Mr. Ye, you said before that you would prevent this news from spreading. Why will you respond to the matter?" he asked, surprised.

Kerry said flatly, "When the news didn't leak, of course I had to take measures to prevent the news from spreading. Now that it's leaked, I'd rather respond to the matter, lest someone continue to hype it later."

"I understand."

Too many things can happen in a month. In today's society, the death of a migrant worker is like a gust of wind. It blows today, and tomorrow it's gone. And avoiding the matter will only allow the people behind it to hype it.

At 9:30 a.m., Kerry arrived at the conference room, cameras and microphones all pointed at him.

Kerry looked around with a smile on his face and said, "I heard that you reporters came here this morning without eating. You guys are so dedicated!"

As soon as the reporters heard what he said, they knew that he was mocking them.

"Mr. Ye, can you tell us more about the accident at the construction site yesterday afternoon?" A female reporter was the first to ask.

Kerry looked at her with a cold expression, "That's why I'm here. Have a seat, everyone. It's the same story you've been hearing. A worker fell off the building and died. We immediately contacted his family, and offered them a generous compensation. His family was very pleased."

"Does this mean that there is a loophole in the safety measures at your site?" Another reporter asked.

Kerry said with ease, "I can assure you that there are no problems with the safety measures at our amusement park. If you have any questions, you can go to the construction site and check out."
