"You gave it to me?"
Ye Huanyan exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course," Ji Xiaoyue said impatiently. "Of course I gave it to you. I had to give it to you because of our friendship. Otherwise, do you want me to make the headlines? I had such a good relationship with Pleasure Group before, but now that something has happened, I'm not involved. What kind of person am I?"
"Fine, I'm just reminding you. Since you've given it to me, then forget it. Go to sleep."
Before Ji Xiaoyue could say anything, she quickly hung up the phone.
Ji Xiaoyue hadn't considered the fact that she had been worried about Ling Han's self-esteem because of his inconvenience all day.
Regarding the banquet, what did Ling Han think about it?
Ye Huanyan clutched her cell phone, and there was a worried look on her face.
Since Ji Xiaoyue gave him the invitation, he didn't take the initiative to tell her. Maybe he didn't want to go?
Ye Huanyan guessed, but she couldn't be sure.
Ling Han was a man with very strong self-esteem, and no one knew this better than her. However, he had always been proud and aloof, looking down on all living things. He had never been defeated before, and had never been in a difficult situation before. Thus, when he was in this kind of situation, she was even more at a loss than him.
It was as if she had been used to his image as an omnipotent and powerful man for so many years. When he suddenly fell from the high platform, she was the first to feel uneasy.
The next day, Ye Huanyan slept in the cubicle in the office until she woke up at noon.
Gu Chi reported the response of the movie trailer in a document and put it on her desk. When he saw her coming out of the room, he looked up and greeted her. "Did you sleep well? Why didn't you go upstairs to sleep? "
Ye Huanyan waved her hand and yawned. "It's the same. This is the bed, and so is the bed upstairs. There's not much difference. Anyway, I have to get up, so I can use work as an excuse to walk less."
Gu Chi's eyebrows trembled, and he pretended to be calm. "After the movie release is over, you can rest for a while. Leave the road show to your subordinates."
Ye Huanyan nodded and rubbed her temples. She pointed at the two blue lunch boxes on the coffee table and asked, "What are those?"
Gu Chi's eyes followed her movements and fell on the lunch boxes. He hesitated for a few seconds. "Mr. Ling sent lunch here half an hour ago. You didn't wake up, so he didn't ask the secretary to wake you up."
"Ling Han came?"
Ye Huanyan's eyes lit up and she was suddenly not sleepy anymore. She completely ignored Gu Chi's explanation and asked excitedly, "Why didn't he wait for me here? Why didn't anyone wake me up?"
Gu Chi looked at her and added, "He said he was going to the import store to buy fruit for you, so he left in a hurry."
Ye Huanyan nodded and muttered, "My mother is so troublesome."
There were three layers to Ling Han's insulated container. The top layer was braised pork, the second layer was stir-fried cabbage with oil residue, the third layer was white rice, and the last insulated container was filled with fish soup.
It didn't taste like Aunt Zhang's cooking. She didn't know who made it. The fish soup wasn't hot enough, but it tasted okay.
Ye Huanyan smacked her lips and looked up at Gu Chi. "Have you eaten?"
"Yes." Gu Chi nodded.
"About the male companion at the charity banquet, if you're not in a hurry, let's wait. Su Nianhua should have received the invitation alone, so he will be there without you informing him. So, when the time comes, I can appear in the name of the crew or with someone else."
It was still early and there was still a week before the Fengshang Charity Banquet.
She didn't want to take the initiative to mention this to Ling Han. She thought that if he wanted to go, he would probably mention it to her himself.
Gu Chi understood what she meant and nodded. He didn't have any other opinions. He watched her eat and reported the promotion of the movie. Then, he mentioned the news from the Gu Corporation.
"If nothing goes wrong, the Gu Corporation will be able to temporarily remove the seizure and re-enter the market in two days. It's just that the Gu Corporation has suffered a heavy loss this time, so it's impossible to seek justice from the prosecutor's office. They can only admit that they're unlucky."
"It's already very lucky to have escaped death. How is the He family now?"
At the mention of the He family, a trace of contempt appeared in Gu Chi's eyes. "If He Xiao hadn't been desperate enough to bribe Smith, we wouldn't have been able to get through this safely so easily. He is the United Nations Charity Ambassador, so his words have a lot of credibility. This time, he shot himself in the foot. He has spent all the credibility he has accumulated over half of his life."
"My father hasn't met with him yet, right?"
"Sir wants to meet with him, but He Xiao is now locked up in the prosecutor's office. Sir can't even take care of himself, so Young Master stopped him. At this time, it's better not to bump into the teeth of the storm."
Hearing this, Ye Huanyan nodded. "That's true. Let's talk about it when the matter is completely settled."
After all, because of such a ridiculous thing as the Gu Corporation being involved in a smuggling case, it was completely because Gu Duo was forced into a corner. Coincidentally, she met with He Xiao, a person who had been suppressing his evil intentions for many years, who wanted to exterminate the Gu family. Therefore, the two of them worked together and did such a shameless thing.
First, they kidnapped Ling Han and delayed his return to China. Then, they tampered with the internal affairs of Pleasure and hooked up with the Wen father and son, who had long coveted the position of CEO. Later, they kidnapped Gu Sinian and forced Ling Han to sign the equity transfer agreement. The equity transfer agreement probably had nothing to do with Gu Duo's plan. It was just a condition of exchange with the Wen father and son.
He Xiao's purpose was to ruin Gu Heng's reputation and the business empire he had worked so hard to build over the years. He would leave him with nothing and conveniently swallow up the Gu Corporation. He would use this to prove to Wen Yi that she had chosen the wrong person.
Gu Duo's purpose was much simpler. She only wanted Gu Sinian.
In Ye Huanyan's eyes, this plan was full of loopholes. If it had been Gu Duo alone, it would have been impossible to accomplish. However, He Xiao was very capable and made connections with the higher-ups. He threw the blame on Gu Ming for no reason and allowed him to enter the prosecutor's office.
If they had followed their original plan and things continued to develop like this, the wrongful case might have been wrongly judged in the end. However, the people they kidnapped successfully escaped one after another and turned the situation around.
The biggest loophole should be that He Xiao let his own son eavesdrop on the night before the villa was sealed off.
Thinking of this, Ye Huanyan looked up and asked, "By the way, how is Xiaoqun?"
After the incident at Manhattan Beach, He Chaoqun had not contacted her again.
"I heard that after He Xiao was detained by the prosecutor's office, he asked for a meeting, but He Xiao refused. He Xiao should know that He Xiao did these things behind his back, so the relationship between them is very stiff now."
Hearing this, Ye Huanyan's expression became complicated.
