Chapter 11: After being chased by the male protagonist, I passed the civil service exam.

Gu Moyuan looked at the video and couldn't find it, his expression darkening.

The girl quickly said, "I've added it to my favorites."

The video happened to be a dance video of Xu Zhixia's competition, and the camera captured Xu Zhixia's outstanding face.

Gu Moyuan picked up his phone and zoomed in to look at the face on the screen.

It's her.

The woman in my previous dreams was her.

it's beautiful.

She's even prettier than the girl next to her.

He forwarded the video to himself and then handed the phone back to the girl, asking, "Do you recognize her?"

The girl shook her head.

She knew the man in front of her had his eye on the woman in the video, and she silently apologized to the blogger.

She didn't do it on purpose.

Gu Moyuan forwarded the video to his new assistant.

"The coordinates are in Beijing. Go check it out."

The other end replied "Received".

This new assistant is actually not very useful. If it were Ji Huaizhi, he probably could have sent over all the girl's life information in less than half an hour.

When Gu Moyuan woke up at sea the next day, he was about to call the girl from the previous night to come over when he received a call from the Gu family first.

He frowned upon hearing the voice on the phone: "I understand. Where's Ji Huaizhi?"

"Assistant Ji is still handling it. He asked me to call you first to let you know."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Moyuan made another call: "Sail the boat back."

Upon returning to the company, an emergency meeting was immediately convened.

It turns out that the incident occurred during a previous construction project in Nancheng. The family of the worker involved in the accident made a big fuss and even found the families of other people involved in other accidents at Gu's company.

This matter has gone viral online.

Even public relations efforts couldn't suppress it.

Gu Moyuan, his face dark, asked during the meeting: "Where is Assistant Ji?"

"Assistant Ji is still 'communicating' with the family."

"Contact the authorities to delete the video." Gu Moyuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and everyone held their breath. "Then we'll hire a few online trolls to flood the comments section."

"Then release some scandals about big stars to divert attention."

"Over time, netizens will forget about this, and those who do remember it won't be able to stir up any trouble."

After hearing Gu Moyuan's words, the people below nodded.

That is indeed a solution.

"yes."

"Mr. Gu, Assistant Ji called and said that netizens have brought up a major accident that happened during one of Gu's previous projects." Someone whispered in Gu Moyuan's ear.

Gu Moyuan's eyelids twitched: "Wasn't this matter already over? How come it's being brought up again?"

This major accident project was something Gu's father had given Gu Moyuan as practice.

At the time, Gu Moyuan was young and ambitious, and he was determined to take on this project to impress his father. People around him advised him that his plan was not feasible and was too radical.

But he wouldn't listen, and the original inhabitants at the construction site refused to move.

He used radical methods that forced the indigenous people to relocate.

Then an accident occurred, resulting in a total of 9 injuries and deaths.

In the end, it was Gu's father who handled the matter, suppressing it by throwing money, threats, intimidation, and even physical violence.

But now that the matter has been brought up again, Gu Moyuan felt somewhat flustered.

Gu Moyuan snatched the phone away: "Ji Huaizhi, how did you handle this? You can't even handle something this simple!"

“President Gu, I was just discussing compensation with the family normally, but they don’t accept the compensation and want to sue.” Ji Huaizhi said calmly, “After all, the accident was caused by a problem with the materials, not by worker error.”

Gu Moyuan was dissatisfied: "Who said it was a material problem? I said it was a worker's mistake, so it was a worker's mistake."

Do I really need to teach you these things?

“But they have evidence that the materials are substandard.” Ji Huaizhi’s phone had already been recording.

"How could they have evidence?"

Gu Moyuan's tone was somewhat unsteady: "How exactly did you handle it?"

Ji Huaizhi: "Of course, it will be handled according to regulations."

"Mr. Gu, the family members are all emotionally unstable right now, I suggest..."

"I don't accept suggestions." Gu Moyuan's eyes flashed with ferocity: "If they want to cause trouble, then let them shut up."

"Do they have children?"

After hanging up the phone, Ji Huaizhi looked at the recording saved on his phone.

This evidence was given to them by themselves, and the evidence online was also fabricated by them.

He wanted to see how long the protagonist's halo could last.

Gu Moyuan has been very busy lately, and he has put all matters concerning women out of his mind.

This time, the Gu family suffered a major blow.

Gu Moyuan wasn't stupid; he eventually realized that someone was targeting the Gu family.

He just didn't know who was behind it.

Upon closer reflection, I realized I had offended too many people, and I suspected everyone of being a potential threat.

"President Gu, other companies want to terminate their contracts with us, and some companies that were about to sign contracts with us have also changed their minds at the last minute."

"Mr. Gu, the stock price of Gu's Group has plummeted, and there's a lot of criticism about Gu's Group online."

"Mr. Gu, we contacted the short video company, but they replied that those videos and posts cannot be taken down."

Gu Moyuan didn't believe it at all after hearing it:

"Do they really think that once the Gu family falls, everyone can kick them while they're down?"

Do you really think that such a small matter could bring down the Gu family?

How naive.

The short video creators just want to say they're innocent; they really can't delete it.

After the report was submitted, the higher-ups thought that the Gu family might be attracting too much attention and being targeted by those above them.

If it can't be deleted, then it won't be deleted; it will simply be left unattended.

Xu Zhixia also saw the recent online comments.

She knew that the crazy person from before was the boss of the Gu family, and she felt a sense of pleasure seeing everyone online condemning him.

However, I also thought that if the Gu family was not doing well, then that lunatic would definitely be in a bad mood. If he was in a bad mood, then Ji Huaizhi must have been suffering a lot lately.

He must be very busy, right?

The two hadn't seen each other since their last meeting in the neighboring city.

However, Ji Huaizhi did add her on WeChat.

We exchanged greetings once and then never spoke again.

Now that the Gu family has run into trouble, Ji Huaizhi must be very busy. It's only natural for me, as a friend, to send my regards, right?

Xu Zhixia clicked into Ji Huaizhi's chat page, but hesitated for a long time before sending a message.

Wearing practice clothes, I sat on the ground, feeling conflicted.

Are you there?

It would be strange if I didn't reply; it would be awkward if I didn't.

What have you been up to lately?

Xu Zhixia shook her head again. Why did it feel like there was something else going on? It wasn't reserved at all.

I recently came across your company online. Are you okay?

Are you alright, Xu Zhixia? Why don't you go eat a couple of plums?
