No one can escape the law of true fragrance

On the top floor of the Zhou Group's office building, in the chairman's office, the atmosphere was very tense.

Zhou Chenwang sat on the sofa with his mouth pursed, swiping his phone to watch his own news, burning with anger, but honestly remained silent.

His father, the chairman of the Zhou Group, is an old-fashioned man. He hardly watches TV or the Internet except for financial news. Zhou Chenwang’s sexual news was quietly told to him by his secretary before the evening regular meeting. Zhou Xiong took the secretary’s phone and clicked on the news. almost fainted on the spot.

Temporarily canceled the regular meeting, found a reason to send the directors away, called Zhou Chenwang over overnight, and scolded him, "Although you are usually naughty, and I heard that you have occasional scandals with actresses, you are generally safe and sound. Why did such a big incident happen this time! Find a man..." Zhou Xiong couldn't say that word, he was so angry that he wanted to poke Zhou Chenwang's forehead with his finger, "It was even photographed by the reporter! You still have to be shameless! You Shameless, I want shame! What a rebellious son!"

Zhou Chenwang stared at him, "I have never found a man, nor did I do this kind of thing. I just had a drink with my friends last night, and then I don't know why. I was plotted against."

"Who will plot against you?" Zhou Xiong asked angrily.

Zhou Chenwang looked past Zhou Xiong and landed on Zhou Chenmu on the other side, and said coldly, "Brother should be very clear about this matter, right?"

Zhou Chenmu smiled lightly, holding the metal-rimmed glasses on his eyes, "I can't understand what Chen Wang said."

Zhou Xiong shouted: "That's enough, what you do yourself is pulling your elder brother to do something!"

Zhou Chenwang stood up from the sofa, walked up to his father, and said to him, "Dad, do you think I'm the one who does this kind of thing? Even if I did it, it was such a coincidence that I was photographed by the reporter. If this kind of thing gets out, it will hurt everyone." Who benefits my reputation the most? When you want to choose a successor, will the old men on the board of directors vote for someone with such a bad record like me? I don’t believe you can’t think of Mei Xuelian’s dirty thoughts!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Your Aunt Mei went on a trip a few days ago and is not at home at all. She doesn't even know about it."

"Whether she did it or not, it will be clear after checking." Zhou Chenwang looked straight at Zhou Xiong.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Zhou Xiong's eyes. He sighed, pressed the center of his eyebrows, calmed down his emotions, and said to Zhou Chenwang earnestly: "If this matter continues, it will be a family scandal, and it will make things rise to another level. The best way to deal with it is to deal with it as soon as possible." Get down with the public relations." After that, he seemed afraid to look at Zhou Chenwang, and looked at his eldest son Zhou Chenmu, "Chen Mu, you should contact the public relations team as soon as possible, and come up with a solution as soon as possible. It must not affect the group's ongoing work. Acquisition projects, let alone affect the group's stock."

"Yes, I'll do it now." Zhou Chenmu said respectfully.

After he left, there were only father and son left in the office. Zhou Chenwang was still standing at the desk waiting for his father to say something. Zhou Xiong raised his head, his eyes were full of tiredness, and the look in Zhou Chenwang's eyes also eased, "Xiao Wang, Dad I believe you, but after investigating this matter, everyone will not look good."

"Then I'll be the only one to take the blame?" Zhou Chenwang was disappointed and angry, "Over the years, that woman has cared for me on the surface, but she really wants to kill me. You just said a while ago that you want to rest when you're tired. She couldn't wait to make a move. I really don't understand how such a woman is comparable to my mother. If my mother is still alive, I don't know how sad it would be to know that you had a child with another woman before she became pregnant. , I am sometimes really glad that she went early."

"Xiao Wang!" Zhou Xiong stopped him, and when his dead wife was mentioned, his expression was very ugly.

Zhou Chenwang didn't say any more, took his car keys and prepared to leave. He wouldn't just let this matter go. Since the old man didn't want to investigate, he himself had to teach that woman a lesson.

When he reached the door, Zhou Xiong stopped him, "You are not allowed to go anywhere these days, just stay at home and wait for the matter to be resolved."

The stock price of the Zhou Group has been affected after all, and the other party has also slowed down the progress of several large-scale acquisition projects in progress. Zhou Chenwang's matter is no longer a simple romantic news. This kind of scandal not only affects his reputation alone, It also affected the reputation of the Zhou Group.

After an hour of discussion, the public relations team came up with a feasible plan.

"What? Get married!" Early the next morning, Zhou Chenwang, who had just arrived at the company, got such a big news.

The person in charge of the public relations team said: "Yes, if this matter was purely pornographic, it would be very easy to pass the public relations, but now they focus on "whoring/prostitution", which is illegal. If it is used by commercial opponents Yes, you will face legal sanctions, so the best way is to fake marriage and publicly admit that you and that gentleman are in a normal relationship. What the paparazzi photographed is just a quarrel between couples. It would be better to announce the marriage immediately Block the mouths of those spectators, lest they say that we operate capital, and you will still not be able to take off the hat of "prostitution/prostitution" on your head."

The more Zhou Chenwang listened, the more outrageous he became, "I don't even know him, and he still does that. Marrying him, am I crazy or are you crazy? I won't marry!"

Zhou Xiong also seemed a little worried. He asked the public relations manager, "It's only been a few years since same-sex marriage was passed in China. Will it have a greater impact on the group if he marries a man?"

"You can rest assured about this." The PR manager smiled, "Nowadays society is very tolerant, which is not a bad thing. As for the other party's work, even if there are people they know through this work, they will never say it Get caught up in the fire. After careful consideration and decision by our team, acknowledging the relationship and agreeing to get married is the best way to deal with this matter at present. You can consider our proposal, but it is best to make a decision before your business opponent takes action. Recently The crackdown on pornography and illegal activities is quite strict.”

The office fell into silence for a while, Zhou Chenwang still had a very reluctant expression on his face, but he also listened to what the PR manager said. The PR manager was right, if he was charged with such a crime, his life would be over. The more she understood, the deeper the resentment towards that cheap stepmother in her heart became, and she even hated Ling Xilai.

Ling Xi, who was hated for no reason, didn't notice it at all. After seeing the news that night, he was very scared, afraid that he would be arrested because of this incident, but after the night passed, he calmed down instead. In comparison, the other party should be better than him I'm even more afraid, if the son of the dignified Zhou Group is arrested for whoring/prostitution, that would be a big joke, they will never let this happen.

Ling Xi felt relieved a little, and while her grandmother was still awake, she bought chicken porridge for her to eat.

Qiu Luo sat aside, patiently waiting for grandma to finish eating the porridge, and then dragged Ling Xi out after she fell asleep again in a daze. The money left?"

Ling Xi nodded, then shook his head again, "I gave it later, five thousand."

"Why did you cut it in half? This person is too unrefined. Although you are not a young man of eighteen or nineteen, you are still a young child. He can't... Hey, forget it, it's better than prostitution for nothing. Good." Qiu Luo has been in this business for three years, and he has never paid much attention to his words, and Zhou Chenwang was the one who introduced the business to Ling Xi.He looked at Ling Xi's embarrassing face, smiled ambiguously, and bumped his arm against his shoulder, "It's still embarrassing, I'll just get used to it in the future, by the way, are you wearing a condom?"

Ling Xi nodded and said nothing, Qiu Luo had told him about this countless times, Ling Xi also remembered it firmly, so even if Zhou Chenwang took the medicine that night, Ling Xi insisted on letting him wear it.

Only then did Qiu Luo feel relieved, and leaned into his ear and whispered: "This is because of my mistakes and you were cheated. I have a big client tonight. To make up for you, I don't want this big client. Let me introduce you to him." , People are really nice, they don’t have any special hobbies, and it’s easy to give tips, I’ll send you the address later.”

Ling Xi hurriedly said: "Xiao Luo, I don't want to take it for the time being, I'd better try to sell wine for a few more days, it would be great if I can make a big order."

"No matter how big you sell wine, you can earn more than 1000 in a single night. When will you save the surgery fee? Anyway, it's all done. What's the difference once or twice." Qiu Luo persuaded him.

"I..." Ling Xi was about to say more when the phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He thought it was a guest who was looking for him to book a bar box, so he made a silent gesture towards Qiu Luo and swiped open to answer the call. key, "Hello."

The other party's voice came from the earpiece of the old mobile phone, with a buzzing current, "Hello, is this Mr. Ling Xi?"

Ling Xi was taken aback for a moment, he used an alias to work in the bar, and this person was obviously not a customer, "May I ask who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Ling Xi, I'm Zhou Chenmu, Zhou Chenwang's brother, we have something to talk to you about, is it convenient for you now?" The other party spoke very politely, and his voice was also gentlemanly.

Ling Xi didn't expect to receive such a call, and there was no need to ask how the other party had his contact information. It is not easy for a family like theirs to find someone.Ling Xi thought for a while and replied, "What are you talking about?"

"We're waiting for you in Box 2 of the coffee shop opposite the People's Hospital. If you're free, I hope you can come over. It will only take half an hour of your time."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xi didn't react for a long time, Qiu Luo waved his hand in front of him, "Whose phone is it?"

Ling Xi turned around and went into the ward to take a look at her grandma, and seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she said to Qiu Luo: "Help me watch over grandma here, I'll come as soon as I go."

"Why are you going?" Qiu Luo asked.

Ling Xi turned to him and said, "Go and get the remaining 5000 yuan!"

The cafe opposite the hospital is not high-grade, the boxes are not big, and there are three people sitting on the brown sofa, two of them are in suits and leather shoes, they look like white-collar elites, and the other is dressed more casually, Zhou Chenwang.

Ling Xi stood at the door, tried hard to hide her restraint, went in and closed the door of the box.

One of the men in a suit wearing metal-rimmed glasses stood up and said to him with a smile, "Hi Mr. Ling, I'm Zhou Chenmu who just talked to you on the phone, Chenwang's elder brother."

"Hello." Ling Xi looked at his outstretched hand, and shook him politely.

"Sit, Mr. Ling." Zhou Chenmu greeted him to sit down, without beating around the bush, and said directly, "I came to see you today mainly because of the news turmoil in the past two days, and Mr. Ling must have seen it. This matter is very important to our group." It has a big impact with my brother, and we want to discuss a solution with you."

After hearing this, Ling Xi subconsciously looked at Zhou Chenwang, Zhou Chenwang glanced at him expressionlessly, looking very unfriendly.Ling Xi said: "It should be easier for you to solve this matter. I can't do anything."

"We need the cooperation of Mr. Ling." Zhou Chenmu said patiently.After finishing speaking, he gestured to the other person who had been sitting beside him. The person hurriedly opened the document in his hand, nodded slightly to Ling Xi, and then Zhou Chenmu began to explain the reason for looking for Ling Xi.

This person is the manager of the public relations company. He told Ling Xi again what he said at Zhou's house, and added at the end, "This is the best way. If Mr. Zhou Chenwang is accused of whoring/ Prostitute, as the prostitute, you also need to bear legal responsibility, I think Mr. Ling should not want to go to jail, right?"

Ling Xi was stunned on the spot when he heard it, and it took him a long time to understand what the other party meant. He frowned slightly, and said in a displeased tone, "Are you threatening me?"

The public relations manager hurriedly said with a smile: "It's not a threat, it's an analysis of interests with Mr. Ling. You and Mr. Zhou Chenwang agreed to marry, and it won't do you any harm."

"I don't want to." Ling Xi refused without thinking, "Marriage is not child's play, I don't want to be so hasty."

"You think I am willing, but if you hadn't colluded with others to drug me and chased me for money, how could it have turned into the current situation? You still don't want to, why don't you want to." Zhou Chenwang held back his anger Seeing that Ling Xi refused without hesitation, he yelled at him.

He didn't want to come to negotiate this negotiation, but was forced by Zhou Xiong. Zhou Xiong said that the less people know about such things, the better, so he only arranged for the two brothers and the public relations manager to come.

Ling Xi looked at him neither humble nor overbearing, as if the matter of being humiliated by him with money yesterday did not exist, he said: "I repeat, I did not drug you, and you still owe me 5000 yuan, you give me the money, I will pay you now." Walk."

"You..." Zhou Chenwang was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The quarrel between the two was interrupted by Zhou Chenmu, who stood calmly aside, and he said slowly, "We will pay for all your grandma's surgery fees for you, is that okay?"

Ling Xi's action of asking for money froze in mid-air, Zhou Chenmu's glasses reflected white light, full of indifference, he completely defeated Ling Xi with such a fatal condition, Ling Xi saw the capitalist habit in his eyes Some are arrogant.

This time it was not a threat, but an inducement.
