Text To Speech

I asked you to give some inspirational speeches, but instead you're here to educate everyone about the law.

Everyone watched as Qiu Yuwei was taken away, all whispering amongst themselves.

Perhaps because of her usual arrogance and conceit, no one in the entire private room felt any sympathy for her!

"She'll have to pay compensation after she gets out of detention. Sigh, so why even bother!"

"Exactly. We can't repay the Group's help in this lifetime. I don't understand why Qiu Yuwei would do such a thing."

"She clearly had a bright future. With Sister He's high regard for her, she would have definitely secured a management position at Chenyang Group after graduation. As long as she gained experience, becoming a Chenyang Group executive was possible. Now, she's ruined it all herself!"

"I really don't know what she was thinking."

"Is the Second Young Master being a bit too cold-blooded? Maybe he could have given her a chance; who knows, she might have changed."

"Give her a chance my foot! She brought it on herself. To be honest, the Second Young Master already gave her a chance by not revealing that evidence earlier and even wanting to wait until after the College Entrance Examination to educate her and let her change! She's the one who didn't cherish it!"

"..."

The students whispered to each other. Some also felt that Zhou Cheng was a bit cold-blooded and should have given Qiu Yuwei another chance.

Because Qiu Yuwei was indeed a Genius, sending her in like this would ruin her entire life. It would be such a pity!

However, most people stood on Zhou Cheng's side, feeling that he hadn't done anything wrong.

This gave Zhou Cheng, who accidentally overheard their conversation, a slight sense of relief.

Fortunately, some money hadn't been spent in vain!

[Host suppressed Qiu Yuwei reward: police force value +500!]

[Host arrested Qiu Yuwei reward: police force value +500!]

After Qiu Yuwei was taken away, two prompts sounded in Zhou Cheng's mind, both rewarding police force value, five hundred for each.

The reward for arresting Qiu Yuwei was a bit small, but it wasn't bad.

After all, Qiu Yuwei hadn't committed any major crimes. Once the stolen amount was calculated, she would probably only be detained for about half a month since she had just reached adulthood.

So, this was already quite good.

After the incident with Qiu Yuwei, Zhou Cheng felt a sense of realization!

It seemed that villains still needed to understand the law. It was fine for those protagonists to be unreasonable since they were protected by their Protagonist Halo.

If a villain didn't understand and follow the law to protect themselves, they would definitely be pummeled by those protagonists.

If there were a Villain Mutual Aid Group, he would definitely suggest learning legal knowledge in the Group.

To be a law-abiding and rule-following good villain.

Qiu Yuwei's matter was just a small interlude. After Zhou Cheng closed the System, he looked at the manager hosting the event and signaled him to continue with today's schedule!

He Yubing calmed her emotions. She was a highly sensible person.

So, despite placing great importance on Qiu Yuwei, she still wouldn't let it affect other matters.

With Zhou Cheng's help, she distributed all the gifts prepared for today.

"Sister He, thank you."

"Thank you, Second Young Master. I will definitely get a good score in two days. If it weren't for Chenyang Group, I would definitely be working in a factory right now..."

"Good, work hard. Maybe you can get the highest score and become Professor Nie's student," Zhou Cheng encouraged with a smile.

At this moment, Zhou Cheng didn't look cold and heartless at all.

Instead, he seemed warm and gentle.

"I definitely can!"

After the gifts were distributed.

Zhou Cheng and He Yubing went to the front of the private room onto the stage. The many students below looked at Zhou Cheng on the stage with spirited eyes!

"Alright, students, let's welcome our Chenyang Group CEO, Mr. Zhou Cheng, to say a few words, shall we?" the Chenyang Group manager said loudly.

As his voice fell, the students' applause was like thunder.

This was the purpose of this dinner: to showcase their kindness.

Zhou Cheng smiled helplessly. Although he didn't like such segments, the money had been spent, and so many students had come, so he had to say a few words.

Zhou Cheng took the microphone from the manager and looked at the students below.

These were all good students who might enter Chenyang Group in the future! So, he would test them first.

"After what just happened, everyone must have a general impression of me."

"Whether it's good or bad, I'll leave that for you to decide."

"And now, I'll ask everyone a question to see how you answer."

As Zhou Cheng spoke, the students below looked at him curiously.

"Suppose a train is currently traveling on the tracks. At this moment, two tracks appear ahead, and there are children playing on both tracks!"

"If it continues on the normal route, it will hit five children. But if it switches tracks in time, it will only hit one child!"

"If you were the train driver at this moment, would you continue normally or switch tracks in time?"

Zhou Cheng spoke slowly. This was a classic Trolley Problem from his previous life.

If it went normally, five would be hit and killed, but if it switched tracks, fewer people would be sacrificed, and more could be saved.

However, the child who originally didn't have to die would be hit, so this also greatly tested human nature!

As Zhou Cheng's voice fell, the private room became noisy again.

Everyone was sharing their thoughts with the people around them.

Those with differing opinions even started arguing.

Even He Yubing looked at Zhou Cheng curiously.

She wondered why Zhou Cheng would ask such a question.

Zhou Cheng looked down. He didn't ask everyone to answer but began analyzing it for them after two or three minutes.

"I won't ask everyone to raise their hands to answer this question."

"Remember, this is not a multiple-choice question, but a self-preservation question."

"You should know that if you follow the normal route, even if five people are hit and killed, it's the children's fault. They were the ones who disregarded their lives; you didn't violate any rules."

"But if you feel that more people would be killed by continuing normally and choose to change tracks out of emotion to save the side with more people—sorry, you've just broken the law!"

"Because that child wasn't supposed to die, but your track change caused their death..."

Everyone listened to Zhou Cheng and began discussing heatedly again.

"This is where the conflict between emotion and the legal System lies. The reason I'm telling you this example is to let you know that when doing things, do not prioritize your emotions! Instead, you should first consider whether what you are doing is illegal!"

"All actions must be built on the foundation of the law! Don't think it's okay to violate the law just a little bit. If you think that way, what you might face in the future is the law showing no mercy!"

At this moment, Zhou Cheng seemed to be an Incarnation of a Law Popularization Expert, using the case to establish a law-first worldview for everyone!

It couldn't be helped; Zhou Cheng was also scared. In this world and under these circumstances, he had to occasionally teach the people around him some legal knowledge.

Actually, people like Qiu Yuwei who directly flipped the table in front of him were fine. If he encountered the type who played tricks behind his back or those Holy Mothers, that's when Zhou Cheng would find it difficult!

The students listened to Zhou Cheng's analysis and discussed it once more.

Just now, quite a few students felt that the few should be sacrificed to protect the many!

Now, after Zhou Cheng's analysis, it seemed that was indeed the case! If they really changed tracks, wouldn't they be in trouble too?

What was originally an accident would become intentional homicide once the track was changed! This would immediately put them in a passive position!

And the result in exchange might just be a verbal 'thank you' from the parents of those five children!

He Yubing stood blankly beside Zhou Cheng, turning her head to look at him... No, Second Young Master, I asked you to say a few words so you could talk about our Chenyang Group's contributions to them.

I wanted you to give an inspirational talk so they would remember the kindness of our Chenyang Group.

Why are you popularizing the law for everyone???
