Chapter 1749: Chapter 69: the ill-fated (7) crisis Translator: 549690339 Lu Man and Gu Xin ended the call. Lu Man thought for a moment before giving her father a call. “Dad.” “What’s wrong, Man Man?”The voice on the other end was gentle. “I’ve seen that the Gu Xin family’s stock market has been in turmoil recently. It’s probably Zhai Yi’s doing. The situation isn’t looking good.” “Yeah, I noticed that too. The Gu Corporation is indeed a little angry now. I heard that the middle-level cadres have all left.” “I’m not at work right now, and I don’t want you to do anything to Gu Enterprise. But as Gu Xin’s friend, I can’t just sit by and do nothing. I only hope that you can help prepare more funds there. If there’s a need, I think we need to help gu enterprise raise funds.” “Okay.”Lu Zishan nodded without hesitation, “Even if you don’t say it, as long as Old Gu asks for it, I will lend him a hand. We’ve been old friends for so many years, and I don’t want to see Gu enterprise be illegally taken over by someone with ulterior motives.” “Thank you, Dad.” “Silly child. Your Business is your dad’s business.”Lu Zishan smiled and asked again, “How’s your health during this period of time?” “It’s pretty good, the baby is also very healthy.” “Has Mo Xiuyuan come back?” “Yes, he has,”Lu man replied. “How’s Your Relationship?” “It’s alright.” “Don’t hide it from Dad. During this period of time, I saw that Mo Xiuyuan and the national defense’s Nanyue Chun are very close.” “That’s also a political need. Dad, don’t think too much.” “Dad doesn’t think too much. I’m just afraid that you’ll think too much.”. Actually, Man Man, Mo Xiuyuan’s status was different now. Dad didn’t say that you weren’t worthy of him. It was just that dad was afraid that you’d be wronged. Although you’ve never been calculative since you were young and didn’t care too much about it, dad also knew what kind of life you were pursuing. “Politics is too messy, it’s not what you want. “If you really have no other choice, don’t suppress yourself. You’re still young, come back, Dad and mom will be at home with you.” “Thank you dad, I know what to do.”Lu man smiled and said, “Don’t worry too much about me, I’m not as fragile as you think.” “Okay.” “Then I’ll hang up first. Bye Bye.” “Bye bye.” After hanging up the phone, Lu man was deep in thought. Sure enough, she wasn’t the only one who felt that she and Mo Xiuyuan were no longer compatible. Even her parents could tell that she was actually no longer able to match up to Mo Xiuyuan. What Mo Xiuyuan needed now was a family background as huge as Nan Yuechun’s to help him climb all the way up, but she didn’t have such capabilities. Her eyes moved slightly. Looking at the entrance, Mo Xiuyuan suddenly appeared. Actually, it was not surprising. In this one week’s time, Mo Xiuyuan had already returned three times. This was the fourth time, and he would basically come back every two days. When he came back, he would stay for a night, and the next morning, he would leave before she woke up. “Have you eaten dinner?”Lu Man stood up and went up to greet him. “Not yet,”Mo Xiuyuan said. “I’ll get Wang Zhong to prepare it for you.” “Okay.”Mo Xiuyuan nodded. Lu Man walked to the kitchen. Wang Zhong was currently packing up the dinner they had just eaten. Moli had gone back to the Mo family for the past two days. As she was bored and Jiang Yuyan was missing Moli, she came over to pick her up. Jiang Yuyan was also a little reserved towards Lu Man. Perhaps they did not know each other’s identities. After Mo Xiuyuan became the commander-in-chief, he had never expressed his stance towards the Mo family and Lu Man. It was as if from the beginning to the end, the person whose identity had changed was only Mo Xiuyuan. The others were still others. “Butler Wang, Mo Xiuyuan is back. Prepare some dinner for him.” “Okay,”Wang Zhong quickly agreed. Lu man turned around and walked out of the kitchen. Walking back to the living room, she saw Mo Xiuyuan leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping. In just a short while, he looked like he was fast asleep. It must be very tiring to go back and forth like this. She went to the room to get a thin quilt and gently put it on his body. As the blanket approached, Mo Xiuyuan opened his eyes. The two of them were very close to each other. Their eyes met. Lu Man Man looked at his eyes. There was clearly a sense of fatigue in his eyes, but he still looked at her so clearly. “Sorry, did I Wake You Up?” “No, I didn’t fall asleep,”Mo Xiuyuan said. Lu Man still put the blanket on his body. “You want to rest for a while, right? Wang Zhong has prepared dinner. I’ll call you.” “Man Man.”Mo Xiuyuan suddenly grabbed her hand that was helping him tidy up the blanket. Lu Man Man looked at his hand that was tightly holding her hand. The warmth of his palm was still in her palm. She bit her lips slightly and looked at his appearance. She did not reject him nor take the initiative. She looked at him very quietly. Mo Xiuyuan suddenly raised his head and held the back of her head with his other hand. He lowered his hand slightly and pulled the distance between them closer. Then, he felt a kiss on her lips. There was a familiar taste on her lips. At the beginning, it was just Mo Xiuyuan touching each other’s lips. Gradually, Mo Xiuyuan’s tongue reached into her lips, bit by bit, carefully licking the taste between her lips and teeth, it was uncontrollable, but in the end, it was a little more intense. His kiss became deeper and deeper. Lu Man’s hands grabbed the quilt tightly, not knowing how to respond at this moment. It was as if she was constantly feeling his absorption, constantly feeling the urgency in his body. The kiss was quietly burning. It was also quietly cooling down. An anxious ringtone sounded from the side. It was a ringtone that was exclusive to the phone. It was different from Mo Xiuyuan’s usual ringtone. Lu Man did not respond. Mo Xiuyuan bit her lips and paused for a moment before letting go of her in the end. He turned his eyes and picked up the phone on the side. Lu man glanced at it and saw that there was a “Chun”on the phone. Just one word. It was a very ambiguous form of address. She stood up and left silently. Mo Xiuyuan looked at her back view, picked up the phone and walked to the side. Lu Man gently wiped the corner of her mouth with her fingers. It took about two to three minutes. Mo Xiuyuan walked back from the side. At this moment, Lu Man was sitting on the sofa watching some boring TV programs. In fact, she was a little absent-minded. Mo Xiuyuan sat beside her and did not speak. Until Wang Zhong came over respectfully and said that dinner was ready. Mo Xiuyuan responded and did not go over. He turned to look at Lu manman and said, “I have something to do later.” “Okay.”Lu manman nodded. “I won’t eat dinner.” “You should tell Butler Wang.”Lu Manman looked at Wang Zhong, who was waiting eagerly in the dining room. Mo Xiuyuan also took a look at the picture and was silent for two seconds. “I know a little about the situation of the Gu family. Do you need my help?” “No need,”Lu man said bluntly. “Zhai an will help.” Mo Xiuyuan nodded. After all, they would be a little awkward. After a moment of silence, Mo Xiuyuan said, “I’m leaving.” “Okay,”Lu man replied. Mo Xiuyuan stood up and left. When he left, Lu Man suddenly said to his back, “Mo Xiuyuan, actually you don’t have to come back so often, and you don’t have to intentionally ask someone to send some photos over. Actually, I’m mentally prepared, so you don’t have to worry too much about what you want to do.” Mo Xiuyuan paused in his footsteps. He paused in his footsteps, but in the end, he did not say another word and left. Lu Man looked at his back and looked back. Her emotions were slowly calming down. She told herself that this was what a mother-to-be was supposed to do. Wang Zhong waited for a while and suddenly saw the commander-in-chief leave. He ran over in surprise and asked, “Mrs. Mo, why did the commander-in-chief leave?” “He will not come back one day. Take your time to get used to it.” “Mrs. Mo, don’t talk about the commander-in-chief like that. He doesn’t have a choice.” “Yes, I know.”Lu Man Man nodded. She understood everything about him. Every move, every word, every action. But in the end, who could understand her feelings.. .. The next morning. Gu Xin and Gu Zhengying went to work together. Gu Xin walked into her office and saw her secretary coming in with a pale face. She said anxiously and quickly, “Something happened, manager Gu.” “What’s Wrong?”Gu Xin asked. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 “The celebrity guest of the reality show, Zhao qiqi, held a personal press conference and accused our television station of being too strict with her. She has already appeared on many news clients. When the news comes out, everyone is pointing their fingers at our Gu Corporation. The situation isn’t looking good!” “Zhao Qiqi? !”Gu Xin gritted her teeth and quickly released the news. The headline that popped up on the news was, “Zhao Qiqi accused Wencheng television station of suppressing and controlling her. It’s Inhuman.”. Gu Xin quickly flipped through the content. Every word was sharp. Zhao Qiqi said that Wencheng television station forced her to participate in reality shows at the lowest price. If she didn’t participate, they would ban her, they even proposed the contents of the contract they had signed! At the same time, the television station had also asked her to do things that she could not do on reality shows. For example, the second episode of survival in the wild. They had insisted that she go into the forest alone in the middle of the night to participate in a terrifying experience, at that time, when she begged the staff, they had strongly condemned her. They had even threatened that if she did not do it, they would use the media to discredit her and cut off her path to the entertainment industry. Not only that, they even said that when she was participating in the “Battle of Madness,”they had forced her to do many difficult experiences and never communicated with the guests in advance! The content of the news listed a lot of the projects that Zhao Qiqi mentioned. Every project had experts to stabilize the risk factor, and they were basically all high-risk and difficult. Moreover, the news also pasted a lot of scenes from the time of the shoot, as well as photos of the guests crying in fear. Gu Xin flipped through the pages, her heart burning with anger. She didn’t participate in the entire shoot of this reality show, so she didn’t know how the shoot was going. At that time, she really paid special attention to “Battle of the crazy”and even participated in a few scenes, every project would be communicated with the guests or their agents in advance. For projects that were too difficult, they actually respected the guests’opinions and only implemented them after they reached an agreement, it was definitely not what Zhao Qiqi said about coercion. Moreover, for every task that was too difficult, the guest would receive a corresponding amount of reward after they completed it. However, Zhao Qiqi did not mention any of this on the news. She gripped her phone tightly. The Secretary looked at her and finally said, “The reality show’s production team has already been forced to stop. If Zhao Qiqi doesn’t participate, they won’t be able to continue recording. Do you want to switch to another guest? !” “Who else is willing to get involved in this mess?”Gu Xin asked. The Secretary was speechless. Indeed, the more public a person was, the more cautious they would be. Gu Xin scrolled through the news again. It would be fine if she didn’t scour it. After scrolling through it, another piece of news suddenly popped up. The headline read, “Many celebrities respond to Zhao Qiqi’s complaint, accusing Wen Cheng television station of inhumane behavior.”. Gu Xin clicked on it and looked at all the celebrities who had fawned over Wencheng TV station and begged them to participate in the program. At this moment, they had all turned hostile and stood on Zhao Qiqi’s side! They criticized the TV station for completely ignoring the feelings of the celebrities in order to win the audience’s favor. They only pursued profit and hoped that the public could boycott Wencheng TV station at the same time, this continued until the television station apologized in public and promised not to use their power to threaten the reality TV stars. “Manager Gu?”The secretary could not help but call out to Gu Xin when she saw that her expression was completely out of control. “It’s all Zhai Yi’s doing!”Gu Xin said fiercely. “What do we do now?” “Where’s the director team?”Gu Xin asked. “Get the director in charge of the reality TV show to see me immediately. I need to discuss with them how to deal with this sudden incident.” “Yes.”The secretary nodded. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, someone suddenly knocked on Gu Xin’s office door. The Secretary opened the door and looked at the schedule standing at the door. She looked a little anxious, “Manager Gu, the production team of the reality show just called me. They said that they can’t continue filming and that they have gone on strike. “I tried to persuade them for a while, but they still said that they can’t continue filming. The director has already led his team and left the production base. Now, there are only a few families left at the destination. They look at each other. What should we do?”? Gu Xin stood up from her seat. It was obvious that she was anxious. Zhai Yi must have planned everything! Zhai Yi was in charge of this project in the first place. The director might have been bribed by him a long time ago. She did not think it through thoroughly. She really did not expect Zhai Yi to use the reality show that was being filmed as a ploy. She felt lucky, this reality show could still maintain its broadcast ratings for two months. It was really too naive. Until now, she finally understood why Zhai Yi did not use the reality show in the beginning. It was probably because he had left a way out for himself. First, he might take over GU enterprise. If the reality show was ruined.., he had to start from scratch. After all, this was an ace show. Secondly, the director in charge of the reality show was a public figure after all. A public figure naturally had to have a reasonable ability to put it into action. Otherwise, it would be tarnished for thousands of years. Zhai Yi had considered everything thoroughly. Now, because of her intransigence, he had started to do it to the death. Was he really not afraid of being struck by lightning? ! At this moment, he had nowhere to vent the depression in his heart. The secretary and Zhang Cheng stood in her office, not knowing how to deal with this situation. If this show was ruined now, what else could Wen Cheng television station use to bring back the dead? ! In the quiet office, Gu Xin’s phone suddenly rang. She gritted her teeth and picked up the phone. “Dad.” “Come up for a moment.” “Okay.” Gu Xin hung up the phone and turned to her secretary and the Articles of association. “Don’t be impatient. I’m going to see the Chairman.” “Yes.” Gu Xin left the office and walked straight to her father’s office. In the office, Gu Zhengying’s expression was clearly not good either. He had just been discharged from the hospital and such a huge accident had happened at work. He was not at peace at all. “Dad.”Gu Xin sat across from him. “Zhai Yi is very ruthless. He is forcing our television station into a dead end.” “Mm.”Gu Xin nodded. “The stock market has already fallen to a low point. If this continues, we won’t be able to hold on for long. I am looking for a loan from the bank now. The amount of money the bank has allocated to us isn’t much. We can only hold on for a week at most. If the stock market crashes again after a week, we will really face a major crisis. At that time, we only have two choices. The first is to declare bankruptcy. The second is to transfer the shares on a pallet and let the three-party company accept our gu group and start anew. “According to the current situation, it’s even more difficult to find the three-party company. Now, everyone in the industry knows that we were deliberately set up. No one is willing to get involved in this muddy water. Therefore, if we don’t want the GU group to completely collapse, the only choice is to give the shares to Zhai Yi and let him come back to life.” “Dad, I’m sorry.” “It’s not your fault,”Gu Zhengying said. Even at this stage, he still could not bear to blame her. “Dad knows that you tried your best. It’s just that… the family business of several generations of the Gu family…” Gu Xin felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. If she had a choice, if she could do it all over again, she would definitely not be so foolish as to invite a wolf into the house. It was all her own willfulness. Outside the room, there was a sudden knock on the door. Gu Zhengying responded. His secretary came in and said, “Now, the director of the reality show has posted on his Weibo that his team will leave the television station and take the risk of breaking the contract and paying compensation. He is also unwilling to continue working with our television station. He also said that our television station is asking for it! “Good and evil will be rewarded. The time has come.” Gu Zhengying was so angry that he stood up from his seat. “Dad…” Gu Zhengying’s expression continued to change. He did not hide his excitement at all. “Dad, don’t be agitated. Don’t be agitated…”Gu Xin was frightened and quickly ran over to help him up. “The medicine is in the drawer…”Gu Zhengying said with difficulty. His entire body was trembling. It was very scary. Gu Xin quickly opened the drawer, took out the medicine bottle, and poured two pills for her father. His father swallowed them and drank a mouthful of water. It took a long time for his emotions to calm down. Gu Xin patted his father’s back. At that moment, her eyes were red and her voice was a little choked up, but she was trying her best to control it. “Dad, don’t be like this. I’m really scared when you do this…” At this moment. She really felt very scared and helpless!
