Chapter 183
Chen Zigao's mother, Mrs. Chen, was quite active when Gaohui Group went public ten years ago. However, for some unknown reason, she suddenly disappeared from the public eye. Even Chen Minghui rarely mentioned her in public. Therefore, except for people in the business community, outsiders have basically no impression of the wife of the chairman of Gaohui Group.
President Wang was very surprised by the sudden call this time. Could it be about Chu Huaiqin?
"I want your company to issue a statement apologizing to me and my family on behalf of Chu Huaiqin."
President Wang had just answered the phone when he heard such an arrogant remark. He was stunned for a moment and didn't react. "You..."
"What? You don't want to?" Mrs. Chen spoke again. She didn't believe that with Gaohui Group's current status at home and abroad, there would be people in the business world who would not give him face.
"Mrs. Chen, may I ask what Huaiqin wants to apologize for?" President Wang asked cautiously.
"What apology are you giving me? Humph, why are you pretending to be confused? What's in the news now? As the president of an entertainment company, haven't you seen this little bit of news?" Mrs. Chen was furious.
President Wang: "Illegitimate child?"
Mrs. Chen: “Of course.”
President Wang looked at Chen Guo, only to see him shaking his head frantically, apparently refusing. As a member of the entertainment company's management, handing Chu Huaiqin over to please the wife of the Gaohui Group's director was the wisest choice for the company's benefit. However, Chu Huaiqin was currently at the height of his fame, poised for an international career. If their company issued a statement in his name now, Chu Huaiqin's fortunes would be completely ruined.
President Wang remained silent, leaving Chen Guo anxious. Businesses are driven by profit, so what if the company had to sacrifice Chu Huaiqin?
"Mrs. Chen, I'm sorry, I don't agree with this proposal," President Wang refused. Chu Huaiqin was the company's most popular artist and the one the company was pushing hard. Even if Gao Hui Group was more powerful, he still wanted to fight for it. "How about this? I'll contact the Wilderness Survival Directors and let Chu Huaiqin know. We can figure out how to write this statement. How do you think?"
"You will regret talking to me like that today." Mrs. Chen was furious. She said this angrily and hung up the phone.
President Wang listened to the beeping sound of the disconnection and looked at Chen Guo. "She hung up."
"President, we can't issue this statement." Chen Guo didn't care whether she was dead or not. He was worried about this now.
"How much do you know about the identity of Chu Huaiqin's illegitimate child?" President Wang put down the phone, his brow furrowed, his heart pounding with anxiety. He had rejected Mrs. Chen. If Gao Hui Group made any further moves against their entertainment company, he would be torn apart by the board of directors.
"Boss, I told you I don't know," Chen Guo said, secretly resenting the name Chen. This was the first time he found it so annoying. "I'll call the production team."
"Okay, ask if you can make an exception and let Chu Huaiqin answer the phone." President Wang was not optimistic about the call. Whether he could contact Chu Huaiqin was one thing, but now the media was one-sided in criticizing Chu Huaiqin, and many so-called insiders came out and exaggerated the fact that Chu Huaiqin's mother was a lover. No one knew if they were hiding under other people's beds back then. Even Chu Huaiqin's mother said that she gave birth to Chu Huaiqin to fight for the family property.
Chen Guo took out her phone: "Okay, I'll get right to it..."
"President," the secretary walked in again, interrupting Chen Guo. "It's Xia Huang, the director of Xia Corporation, calling."
President Wang looked at Chen Guo, who blinked and then grinned.
"President, Huaiqin lived in their house during the period after the domestic competition! They are good friends." Chen Guo was happy. After thinking about it, she felt that Xia Huang came to support Chu Huaiqin.
"Are we really good friends?" President Wang was skeptical about this statement.
But we'll talk about these things later. The most important thing now is to answer Xia Huang's call. This man is a "killer god" in the business world. In addition to his big business, he also has a bad personality. It is said that you can hear the "crackling" sound of ice chips when he speaks.
When Chen Guo saw President Wang ask his secretary to answer the phone, he quickly leaned over the desk and leaned close to President Wang's ear.
"Ahem," President Wang's hand holding the phone froze, and he pushed Chen Guo's shoulder, "Don't get too close."
"I can't hear you if you're not close enough. Why don't you put it on speakerphone?" Chen Guo said as a matter of course.
President Wang: I answered Xia Huang’s call and put him on speakerphone. Does he think his life is too long and he is tired of living?
When Xia Huang answered the phone, his voice was as cold as the legend said. He simply asked if Mrs. Chen had called him, asking his company to issue a statement regarding Chu Huaiqin's illegitimate child.
When President Wang heard this, his hair stood on end. He looked around and suspected that Xia Huang had installed surveillance cameras in his office.
"Don't worry, there is no surveillance. Your company doesn't need to worry about this. Just spread the news about the content of her call to you, and someone will take care of them." Xia Huang held the phone in one hand and pressed Su Huaichen tightly on the sofa with the other hand. Seeing his limbs flapping, there was a hint of laughter in his tone.
After thinking for a moment, he let go. The person who was pinned on the sofa immediately jumped up, pounced on Xia Huang, and bit his neck. He said: Bite him to death, bite this bastard to death.
President Wang on the other side: Is Xia Leng laughing? There are even gasps. This Director Xia...
As a smart man, President Wang immediately thought of a possibility and couldn't help but sigh: rich people just know how to have fun. "Mr. Xia, when you say 'people', you mean..."
"Don't worry about that," Xia Huang was bitten by Su Huaichen until he bled. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even talk on the phone. He could only say, "Hang up. If Chu Huaiqin needs anything later, call my secretary."
The phone was hung up again, but unlike the previous call, President Wang finally felt relieved. Xia Huang meant: Chu Huaiqin has him covered.
With Xia Huang's appearance, President Wang felt more confident and released the news immediately as he wished. Half an hour later, the news became a hot topic. Fans and viewers who were originally worried and didn't believe that Chu Huaiqin was an illegitimate child were dumbfounded. The real owner had already been found in Chu Huaiqin's company, so how could it not be true?
"Oh my god, I didn't expect that the person I'm following is actually a bastard. I'm so sad. What should I do? Should I stop being a fan?"
"I've already cried. How could he be a bastard? He clearly said that both his parents were dead, so how could he suddenly have a father, and a bastard at that?"
"Ugh, I got the wrong person. I'm quitting being a fan."
"Ahhh, I'm so angry. When I think about the fact that I used to be a fan of him, I want to slap myself. It's so disgusting, so disgusting."
"But why did he say his parents were already dead? Isn't that deceiving the audience?"
"The problem is that the real owner has called his company, and they're still protecting him."
"Oh my god, no wonder Chen Zigao is targeting Chu Huaiqin. It turns out that Chu Huaiqin's mother destroyed his family."
"Yeah, Chen Zigao is so pitiful. Maybe it's because of this reason that he is unable to participate in the competition as a member of the British Empire."
"Chen Zigao is pitiful, plus one."
"There are too many illegitimate children forcing the main wife to take over the business world now. Many illegitimate children eventually inherit the family business. Ahhh, thinking about the fact that I was a fan of such a person, I really can't stand it."
"Participating in the competition as a citizen of the British Empire, is there anything to be said for this?"
"If you want to stop being a fan, then go ahead and get lost. As long as my brother doesn't come out and I don't hear the truth from him, I won't believe him."
"That's right. Now it's all their one-sided story. How can my brother be considered a bastard? He said that both his parents are dead. I believe him."
"That's right, what's wrong with being an illegitimate child? It's not his choice."
"Illegitimate children are the original sin, don't you know?"
"Illegitimate child, get out of the entertainment industry."
"fart!"
The last two words shocked the country. Yes, someone silenced the noisy entertainment news, major forums, self-media, big Vs, etc. with just two words.
"Whoever said that Chu Huaiqin was an illegitimate child, come and tell me."
This was his second Weibo post. Within five minutes, major Chinese artists and respected elders had reposted it. Everyone was stunned. What was going on?
Chu Huaiqin had no idea what was happening in the country. When it finally rained, the first thing he did was to take a shower!
The little monk had already rushed into the heavy rain, howling, and Lin Zhinan also set up his own bathing backpack to catch the rain.
Live broadcast room: Showering depends on rain!
Xia En's behavior was the strangest. He looked at the weather, then at Chu Huaiqin. From time to time, he would pace back and forth impatiently, then check his watch and pace back again.
"Does your wound hurt?" Chu Huaiqin was also about to throw himself into Da Yu's arms, but he saw that something was wrong with Xia En. He turned his gaze to his hand, wanting to see if there was something wrong.
"No, no," Xia Entang touched his nose and said awkwardly, "What day is today?"
Chu Huaiqin: "August 17th."
Xia Entropy: "Lunar calendar."
"July 13th," Chu Huaiqin asked, "Do you have something urgent?"
Xia Entropy looked at Chu Huaiqin, with something in his eyes that Chu Huaiqin couldn't understand. After a long while, Xia Entropy finally uttered, "No."
Retracting his gaze, Xia Entang turned his gaze towards the heavy rain. The sky was dark, with faint rumbles of thunder. A few remaining contestants were bathing in the dense downpour. The little monk's cries sounded particularly lively, yet Xia Entang seemed to be outside the scene.
Chu Huaiqin thought to himself: If there is no such thing, there must be something fishy.
Chu Huaiqin followed his gaze towards the heavy rain, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to take a shower?"
Xia Entropy: ...
"Don't worry, I'll get you some water later, but before that, I have to ask the director team. I haven't talked to him about the backpack yet!" Chu Huaiqin thought that if the things inside didn't increase, they would have to be completed anyway.
His whole body was wet and sticky, and Chu Huaiqin walked towards the director team in the pouring rain.
Live broadcast room
"Hahaha, my dear brother finally went to ask the director team for things. Come on, bring back more."
"Pfft, find a basin for Xia En, since he wants to take a bath so badly."
"Isn't it just me who thinks he's in a trance because he wants to take a shower?"
"No, you guys, is there no one here discussing domestic news?"
"News? What news? The news that my brother used Ming and Qing dynasty blue and white porcelain to serve his meal?"
"Hmph, Chen Zigao, the thief who took possession of your brother's things will have to return them sooner or later. There's no rush."
"Tong, I believe my brother is not the kind of person who won't fight back when being beaten. Just wait!"
"Don't worry, it's not that we don't want to discuss this, but this is a public live broadcast room. Don't bring negative points to my image. Someone who discussed this here before was scolded and ran away. You should go back to the forums in China!"
The person who asked the question nodded repeatedly, yes, the battlefield is at home.
