Hong Ziqi came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Huining helped find a very good doctor to wake up Mr. Huo in a vegetative state. You already know that, right?"
Old Madam Hong nodded and glared at him. "I know, but I just found out."
After that, she reprimanded Hong Ziqi. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?! What if he didn't wake up? What would you have done? What a bunch of ignorant and fearless idiots! "
Hong Ziqi was used to being scolded by Old Madam Hong, so he didn't think much of it. He even wanted to speak up for Guo Huining. "… Old Madam, look at this matter. Huining didn't make any contributions, but she did work hard. Can't you let her go? All these years, she has done so much for our Hong family … "
"No." Old Madam Hong's face turned serious. "She made such a big mess for our company. Not to mention going public, it's even possible for us to liquidate! Why are you still so stubborn? "
"Liquidate?!" Hong Ziqi was really shocked this time. "Isn't it that serious?! Isn't it just some batteries? Can't we pay for it? "
"Pay? Do you know how much it will cost? " Old Madam Hong glared at him. "I've already hired the best lawyer in the capital to negotiate an out-of-court settlement with the other company."
"Do you know what an out-of-court settlement means? It means to stretch out your neck to be slaughtered by the other party! "
Hong Ziqi subconsciously touched his neck. His face was pale as he murmured, "… Will we pay a lot of money?"
"What do you think? Although I don't know much about electric scooters, I know that the battery of the electric scooter is definitely the key! "
Old Madam Hong knew more about the traditional automobile industry. The electric scooter was purely a gimmick to sell it overseas at a good price.
It was commonly known as a "concept stock."
Unfortunately, the concept wasn't played well and was replaced with a phantom.
"Then what can we do?!"
"What can we do?" Old Madam Hong sighed. "If the other party demands an exorbitant price, then we can only continue the lawsuit. The worst outcome is to liquidate and close down. "
There were faint tears in her eyes. "Our Hong Group started from your great-grandfather and I repairing people's cars on the side of the road. Do you think we relied on luck to develop into the big enterprise we are now?"
"That's the result of our family's hardships and hardships!"
When Hong Ziqi was born, he was already the "fourth generation" of the Hong family, so he couldn't empathize with Old Madame Hong's "reminiscing about bitterness and longing for sweetness."
However, he knew how difficult it was to run a business. Being a boss didn't mean that he could just lie at home and count his money.
"… Ancestor, it's all my fault …" Hong Ziqi felt guilty.
If the Hong Corporation was really destroyed because of Guo Huining's decision, Hong Ziqi knew that he would not be able to escape the blame.
Madame Hong smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It's not entirely your fault. We old fellows were greedy and wanted to get listed overseas, which led to such a disaster. "
She waved her hand and said, "You can leave now. I need to plan properly. I hope I can appease Miss Gu and the Huo family before I think about settling out of court."
Madame Hong had an intuition that the price asked by the other company might be closely related to her "apology" this time.
After Hong Ziqi left, Old Madame Hong made several phone calls and called several key account managers from well-known international jewelry brands to bring their latest jewelry to the Hong family's mansion.
These brands had flagship stores in the Imperial Capital and usually opened their doors to do business, but they were very familiar with the rich and powerful in the Imperial Capital.
The key account managers specialized in taking care of these wealthy customers.
Old Madame Hong rarely bought jewelry, but with her reputation, no key account manager would ignore her.
Old Madame Hong called a few young girls from the Hong family over and had them pick a few pieces of jewelry suitable for young girls. She also had the brands engrave Gu Nianzhi's name on them as an apology gift.
…
Gu Nianzhi was very surprised when she received the call from Old Madame Hong's assistant.
She thought it would be Guo Huining, Dou Aiyan, or even Hong Ziqi looking for her.
She didn't expect it to be Old Madame Hong.
Although she hated Guo Huining, she didn't have any particular dislike for Hong Ziqi. She wouldn't speak ill of Old Madame Hong, who was in her eighties.
Gu Nianzhi replied politely, "Yes, this is Gu Nianzhi. What can I do for you, Old Madame Hong? "
The assistant said respectfully, "Miss Gu, our Old Madame heard that you were wronged at our Hong Corporation Hotel and was very sorry. She specially booked our hotel to entertain Miss Gu and would like to personally apologize to you."
Gu Nianzhi laughed, "This has nothing to do with Old Madame Hong. Even if someone wants to apologize, it shouldn't be her. Also, I said that day that I would never set foot in any of the Hong Corporation's buildings. "
The assistant was so shocked he almost dropped his phone.
He didn't think Guo Huining would offend someone to this extent this time!
She hadn't mentioned this to Old Madame Hong earlier.
The assistant didn't dare make the decision and immediately turned to Old Madame Hong, "Old Madame, Miss Gu said she already swore she would never set foot in any of the Hong Corporation's buildings again! She also said that even if someone wants to apologize, it shouldn't be Old Madame Hong. "
"Then does she want Guo Huining to apologize?" Old Madame Hong frowned, "Find another place to invite Miss Gu."
The assistant had no choice but to call Gu Nianzhi again and said very attentively, "Miss Gu, really, our Old Madam sincerely wants to apologize to you. And Guo Huining, we will also ask her to personally apologize to you when the time comes. If you don't want to go to the Hong Corporation's hotel, we can find another place. What do you think of the South City Residence? "
"It's quiet there and there are no other people waiting."
Gu Nianzhi still shook her head, "No need. I don't need Old Madame Hong or Guo Huining to apologize to me. I'm a person who likes instant karma. "
"Usually, if someone doesn't apologize to me on the spot, they won't accept it later."
After that, he hung up the phone and blocked the assistant's number.
The assistant dialed for a long time and realized she had been blocked by Gu Nianzhi when she couldn't get through.
She braced herself and reported to Old Madame Hong, "Old Madame, Miss Gu still doesn't want to come. She said she doesn't need you to apologize or Guo Huining to apologize. She also said … she doesn't usually apologize on the spot and won't accept it later. "
Old Madame Hong's expression changed and thought for a while before saying, "… What about Major General Huo? What about General Huo and Grandfather Huo? Oh right, contact General Huo first. I just asked someone about the Huo family's situation and they all said that General Huo is a filial son and very filial to Grandfather Huo. "
Guo Huining "showed kindness" to Grandfather Huo and it seemed like she had made the right move.
The assistant quickly said, "I'll go find General Huo's number now."
However, Huo Guanchen's number was not easy to find. She looked around and finally secretly called Guo Huining to get Huo Guanchen and Grandfather Huo's numbers.
Guo Huining heard that Old Madame Hong had personally invited Gu Nianzhi and the Huos to dinner and her face was burning, but she still suggested, "… Mr. Zhang Baochen, he's Grandfather Huo's favorite son."
The assistant also got Zhang Baochen's number and went to ask Old Madame Hong.
"Old Madame, I got General Huo and Grandfather Huo's numbers. There's also Mr. Zhang Baochen. I heard that he's Grandfather Huo's favorite son. Miss Guo was recommended to the doctor through Mr. Zhang Baochen."
