double promise

The crew was filming in the deep mountains and old forests, and the mobile phone signal was better than nothing. Xie Guan saw the news a day after the incident, and called Huo Mingjun again, but there was no answer for a long time.

He looked at the various reposts and speculations on the news webpage and Weibo with trepidation. The public was outraged, and the public opinion all pointed to Hengrui Group. It set up a special investigation team due to a major accident. Instead of reaching a compensation agreement, they chose to sue together and directly brought Hengrui Group to court.

The reputation of Hengrui Group and Huo's has plummeted, the stock price has fallen, and the traffic flow of "Yihe Yipin" department stores in various places has dropped sharply. The extremists even launched boycott activities, and even held a sit-in demonstration in front of the company's headquarters.

However, Hengrui Group only issued an announcement 4 hours after the accident, promising to investigate immediately, compensate for the losses, and apologize to the victims, and never spoke again.

Countless reporters rushed to the scene, trying to interview the person in charge of Hengrui Group, or inquire about the progress of the investigation, but all failed.

Xie Guan was full of anxiety, but he still couldn't contact Huo Mingjun.Rumors and rumors are overwhelming on the Internet, and there are even rumors that the police have arrested several main responsible persons.Although he knew it was fake, he still couldn't help thinking about it in the worst direction.While he had to deal with the high-pressure filming schedule, he was thinking about the situation of Hengrui Group. The negative state of his whole body continued to magnify, and finally reached the point where Director Bai couldn't bear it.

"Card!"

"Thank you Guan, the lines are wrong."

"Go! Stand on the spot! I just finished emphasizing the last game! Are you a goldfish?!"

"Pay attention to the look in your eyes. You two are not only mortal enemies, but also equal opponents. When you hear the news of his defeat, you must have ups and downs in your heart. Don't look lifeless. Start again."

"Ka, the expression is wrong, try again."

"...Take a break for 10 minutes, Xie Guan come with me."

Xie Guan knew that his condition was not good, so he hurriedly apologized to Ji Feng, who was acting opposite him, and the staff present, before turning to look for Bai Luzhou.

"What's the matter with you?" Bai Luzhou asked bluntly.

Xie Guan wiped his face wearily: "I'm sorry Director Bai..."

"Don't apologize to me," Bai Luzhou said impatiently, "If you have something to say, solve the problem, otherwise a bunch of people will spend time with you here, and apologizing is useless."

Xie Guandao: "A friend had an accident at home, and it was a big mess. I haven't been able to contact him, and I'm a little worried."

Bai Luzhou thought about the investors behind the movie, and then thought about the big news that has caused a storm in the city recently, and asked with a frown, "Is it... Hengrui?"

Xie Guan was startled, he didn't expect her to guess right, so he nodded silently.

Bai Luzhou asked: "Then what are you going to do, ask for leave and go find someone?"

Now that she knew the inside story, Xie Guan dared to show the sad face that he had deliberately concealed for the past few days, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I don't know. Even if I rush over now, I, an outsider, can't help him."

Hengrui's accident this time is really dangerous. If it is handled improperly, it will immediately cause a series of adverse reactions.At this juncture, Xie Guan's best choice is of course not to get involved and not to stand out. Once a celebrity is involved in these matters, it will inevitably attract a lot of criticism.

But now the person trapped in the situation is Huo Mingjun. Xie Guan has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but he can't think rationally and remain indifferent at this time.

"It's a good thing to value love and righteousness," Bai Luzhou said lightly, "but you are 26 years old now, not 16 years old, don't be impulsive like a brat. Since you know you can't help, just wait quietly for news. Get your own shit done. Don't wait until someone else is all right, you're making a mess here."

"I understand. Don't worry, Director Bai." Xie Guan took a deep breath and cheered up, "I will adjust my status as soon as possible, but there is something I still need to ask for your help in advance."

"Say."

Xie Guan said: "If there is any need for help in the future, I hope Director Bai can accommodate me."

"..." Bailuzhou stared at him for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "I didn't realize before that you have such a stubborn temper."

"Okay, I won't stop you. Adjust it, and reshoot that scene later."

Pingcheng City in Province G.

On the day of the incident, Huo Mingjun came from city B overnight to sit in the township in person.After the news came to light, countless people called to inquire about the news.Even his uncle Yue Lin, who was serving in other provinces, was alarmed, and vaguely reminded him that he must control the influence.While cooperating with the police investigation, Huo Mingjun conducts investigations within the group. He has to take charge of the overall situation, but also find ways to save word of mouth, curb the stock price drop, and deal with the accountability from the board of directors and Mr. Huo. hours available.

Huo Mingjun felt something was wrong when he first heard about the location of the accident, but it was indeed the case when he got there.The "Yihe Yipin" shopping center here was built five years ago, and it was the product of Huo's internal struggle for power.

Huo's started out in real estate, and later established Hengrui Investment Group, which has business sectors such as commercial real estate, chain department stores, catering and resorts, etc. Under Huo Mingjun's hands, it has successively set foot in new fields such as film and television investment and medical industry.With the changes in domestic policies in recent years, Hengrui is constantly expanding new businesses, but real estate and department stores have always been their pillar industries.

Huo Mingjun came into contact with the core power of Hengrui Group about seven years ago. At that time, the chairman was still Mr. Huo. His father Huo Zhongchen, second uncle and younger uncle were all in the top management of the group. Huo Zhongchen passed it on to Huo Mingjun, but because of the kidnapping case, Mr. Huo became dissatisfied with his eldest son, and directly brought his eldest grandson into the core of power, on an equal footing with his father and uncles.

This move aroused Huo Zhongchen's dissatisfaction, and the old man gradually delegated power, most of which fell into Huo Mingjun's hands.Although Huo Zhongchen has a high status in name, he is actually just a rubber stamp, a ostentation that is not useful.

In order to seize power with his son, he took the opportunity of developing the "Yihe Yipin" project in Pingcheng City, G Province, to win over his confidantes, recruited several people who Huo Mingjun had reused, and spent a lot of money to build the first commercial center in Pingcheng City, and The viewing corridor bridge, also known as the "air plank road".

Pingcheng City is the third largest prefecture-level city in Province G, with the mining industry as its economic center. However, Huo Mingjun was not optimistic about the location when he first selected the location, because there are many real estate built in the area, but the vacancy rate is quite high. I am afraid that it will become an empty city in the future.However, Huo Zhongchen persisted in insisting that there are many rich people in Pingcheng, and more people will move in in the future. The settlement of "Yihe Yipin" will drive the prosperity of surrounding businesses and form a CBD business district.

In the end, Huo Zhongchen and his fourth brother Huo Zhonghan bypassed Huo Mingjun and passed the project, and it took two years to build Pingcheng "Yihe Yipin".Unexpectedly, one year after the opening, the air pollution problem has become a hot issue of social concern. The country has successively issued a number of environmental protection policies, which have dealt a severe blow to the traditional high-energy-consuming and high-polluting industries. With more and more sales, "Yihe Yipin" naturally became more and more depressed. Not only did it fail to make a profit, but as of last year, it has been losing money in it.

After this incident, Huo Zhongchen's position in the group was not as good as before. Huo Mingjun also took this opportunity to take over the position of chairman of Hengrui Group from generation to generation.

It's just that Huo Mingjun didn't expect that the money-losing goods made by his stupid and gentle father back then would become landmines that almost sent the entire Huo family to heaven.

"Boss," Fang Hui hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, holding a document in his hand, "The court accepted their lawsuit, and now we need to submit a statement of defense."

Huo Mingjun was reading the hundreds of pages of investigation report, and said, "Leave it to Zhong Heguang and let the legal department prepare it."

"Yes," Fang Hui responded, and said cautiously, "Just now Mr. Housekeeper called me and said...Mr. Huo and your father invited you back to City B."

Fang Hui said it tactfully, but Huo Mingjun wanted to know the tone of the original words, and said coldly: "I'm busy, I don't have time. If they think Hengrui's collapse is not early enough, they can find someone to replace me."

Assistant Fang shivered, resolutely refusing to admit that he was cowardly, insisting that the temperature of the air conditioner in the room was too low.

She was about to leave when the phone in her pocket rang again. Fang Hui took it out and looked at the caller ID, and immediately held it to Huo Mingjun with both hands shaking.

Huo's phone number.

Huo Mingjun glanced at Fang Zhu who wanted to minimize himself into the cracks in the floor, and reached for the phone: "It's me, what's the matter."

His own mobile phone had already blocked the numbers of the old man, Huo Zhongchen and others, and the other party couldn't find him, so he had to send messages through Fang Hui in a roundabout way.

Assistant Fang looked at Huo Mingjun with dark circles under his eyes, but he didn't feel relaxed at all.

She receives at least dozens of calls every day, all asking Huo Mingjun, asking him what to do, urging him to make a decision, asking him for money, asking him for an explanation, and even his closest blood relative Putting on a business-like air, he ordered Huo Mingjun to "go back to City B tomorrow, the old man and Mr. Huo want to see him".

No one asked Huo Mingjun if he was tired or if he needed help.

When it was profitable, these people squeezed their heads and squeezed into Hengrui, but once something happened, they all hid and became cowards.They would only accuse Huo Mingjun of not doing this well, or of handling that wrongly, but they were never willing to take a step forward and share Huo Mingjun's shoulders.

"I still say the same thing, whoever committed the crime will pay for it himself. If you really feel guilty, you might as well kowtow to the victim. If he is forgiven, he will naturally not feel guilty."

"He and I haven't forgotten what happened ten years ago. Whether he treats me as a son is a matter of two opinions. What else is he talking about'father's debt repayment'?" Huo Mingjun said lightly: "Grandpa, to put it in a bad way , when he is with you, he calls 'children are debts'; when he comes to me, he is called 'the father's debt is paid by the son', and he takes advantage of all the advantages in the world, so why should he have a good birth?"

There was a loud bang from the handset of the mobile phone, and the call was disconnected.

Huo Mingjun was about to return the phone to Fang Hui, but when he looked up, he was stunned: "Why are you crying?"

Days of fear, exhaustion from running around, abuse and attacks in the center of the whirlpool... These mental pressures finally, under the "grievance" and straw lightly added to the fuel, washed away the helpless embankment in the form of a torrential flood.

Fang Hui desperately held back her tears and shook her head again and again.

She understood Huo Mingjun's character, he was cold and hard on the outside, he had never been weak himself, and he didn't like others to show weakness in front of him.

Huo Mingjun took two pieces of paper from the table and handed them to her.

"You are too tired, wipe away your tears and go back to sleep." He kept his distance in a gentlemanly manner, and his eyes stayed on her face gently, "Your boss will be responsible for the sky falling, don't worry."
