Hello, Mr. Major General

Old Mrs. Hong’s assistant quickly called Gu Nianzhi again.

She knew Gu Nianzhi had blocked her second phone number, so she had to change the third number and let the other assistant talk to Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi did not hang up and block the call again immediately.

The other assistant heard Gu Nianzhi’s voice, he immediately spoke quickly, “Miss Gu, I’m Old Mrs. Hong’s assistant, Old Mrs. Hong. I would like to personally visit you and apologize to you. May I know where your home address is? If it’s convenient, our old Mrs. Hong will immediately visit you.”

He finished speaking in one breath and did not even stop.

Gu Nianzhi heard that it was the Hong family again. She really wanted to hang up and block it right away.

However, the assistant spoke too quickly, as if she was frying beans. Before she could hang up, the other party had already finished blabbering.

Gu Nianzhi:”…”

Fine, she could feel the other party’s strong desire to live, she could only laugh and say, “There’s really no need. I told you, it’s not like old Madam Hong offended anyone. If your old madam didn’t stay at home and enjoy her life, why did she have to travel all over the place for her children and grandchildren?”

Old Madam Hong took the phone and said in a low voice, “Miss Gu? I sincerely want to apologize to you. I hope you can give me a chance to make things easier for me.”

“If your home isn’t suitable, we can meet outside. Although I’m old, I don’t dare to take advantage of my age. We’re different things.”

Gu Nianzhi did not dislike old Madam Hong’s way of doing things. Moreover, she thought about how old Madam Hong was in her eighties. It was indeed not easy for her to apologize to herself, who had just turned twenty, for her children and grandchildren’s unworthy deeds.

But she did not want Guo Huining to get away with it.

Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath, she said sincerely, “Old Madam Hong, I don’t need to explain myself. Guo Huining is not even the daughter-in-law of the Hong family. If you value her so much, why did you keep her out of the Hong Family?”

Old Madam Hong listened to Gu Nianzhi’s tone and felt that she was quite reasonable.

Could it be that the person who attacked the Hong Corporation had nothing to do with Gu Nianzhi?

Old Mrs. Hong was confused again.

However, after much thought, she decided to pacify Gu Nianzhi first.

The revelation of the Hong Corporation’s electric car battery was most likely related to Gu Nianzhi.

Of course, she couldn’t rule out the possibility that it had nothing to do with her..

Old Mrs. Hong had called Gu Nianzhi personally, but Gu Nianzhi still refused to see her. Of course, she wouldn’t let Old Mrs. Hong come to her house to apologize.

Old Mrs. Hong had no choice but to say, “Miss Gu, I understand your concerns. We were wrong about this matter. I hope you can give me a chance. I sincerely apologize to you.”

Gu Nianzhi laughed. “Old Mrs. Hong, you’re too kind. I’m hanging up now. I hope you won’t call me from another number.”

Gu Nianzhi hung up the phone as she spoke and threw her phone on the sofa speechlessly.

This phone number was the one she had used to contact the outside world. It wasn’t her personal number, so many people knew about it.

She decided not to use this phone for the time being.

..

Old Mrs. Hong refused to give up. She had her assistant contact Gu Nianzhi from multiple sources, but she couldn’t contact her anymore.

However, it didn’t take long for Old Mrs. Hong to forget about contacting gu nianzhi, because the terms of their out-of-court settlement with the other company were out.

“… What? ! They want so much cash compensation? !”Old Mrs. Hong was shocked and furious. “Did they see our books? !”

The other party wanted all of the Hong Group’s current cash, plus the amount of a loan they had just negotiated with the bank.

If they really lost this money, the Hong group would be insolvent and waiting for liquidation.

The salaries of the employees could not be paid because the battery was ordered by the court not to continue to infringe on intellectual property rights, and electric cars could not be produced.

Even the sales of traditional cars were falling because of the impact of this matter.

Without income, the monthly fixed expenditure was a large sum of money, and the Hong family were all using private housing to subsidize the company.

A month passed, and the other company was not willing to lower a single cent. They also said that their goal was to make the Hong Group, a company that infringed on intellectual property rights, go bankrupt!

For a time, there were all kinds of things being said on the internet.

Some sympathized with the Hong group, saying that the electric car was originally only a small part of the Hong Group’s business, but because of this rat poop, the entire pot of soup was ruined.

There were also some who said that the Hong Group had brought this upon themselves. Who asked them to secretly forge a fake for the sake of listing overseas? If they were discovered and exposed, they deserved it.

Old Madam Hong had been planning and running around for the past month. She was old beyond recognition, but the Hong Group’s business continued to deteriorate day by day.

That night, the shareholders of the Hong Group, who were also members of the Hong family, returned to the Hong family’s mansion for dinner.

Tomorrow was the deadline for the other party’s company to ask them to pay.

If they did not pay, the settlement outside the court would be broken, and both parties would continue to go to court to fight their cases.

Moreover, as long as the court was in session, the Hong Group would be supervised by the court. In order to prevent them from transferring their assets, the other party’s company even hired the most powerful accounting firm to supervise the accounts of the Hong Group.

Old Madam Hong sat at the head of the table and looked at the five big round tables in the restaurant that were filled with people.

However, everyone’s expressions were very ugly.

A month ago, they were still full of ambition. They thought that once the company went public, their assets would increase exponentially.

At that time, they would be able to visit the list of the richest people in the country.

Ironically, a month later, they gathered together for a farewell dinner.

Hong Ziqi curled up in a corner, not daring to make a sound.

It was because of him that Guo Huining was so bold and reckless, causing such a big disaster.

“Everyone, eat. Don’t look like the sky is falling.”Old Madam Hong said with a smile, “Even if the Hong Corporation collapses, you still have your own house and your own life. It’s much better than when your great-grandfather and I were together.”

“At that time, we didn’t have our own house. We rented someone else’s basement to live in. Every day, we would get up early and go to the dark to set up a stall outside to do business. The sun was shining, the rain was pouring, and the wind was blowing. You Don’t have to suffer that kind of hardship anymore.”

She said with a smile, but the members of the Hong family in the house couldn’t help but wipe away their tears.

After a while, one of Hong Ziqi’s uncles whispered, “Grandmother, actually, it’s not that there’s no way.”

“Oh? What Way?”Old Madam Hong said plainly, “Why don’t you tell me?”

This person stood up and mustered up his courage to say, “Actually, our Hong Group has always been a high-quality industry. This time, the problem with the electric car business did not affect our other production lines. There are also many people who are optimistic about us.”

Old Madam Hong raised her eyes and looked over. “En, continue.”

This person saw that his ancestor did not reject him outright, so he became a little bolder, he said, “Since grandmother did not object, I will say it. — we all have shares of the Hong Group. Why don’t we sell some of our shares and get some cash to save us?”

“That won’t do! Even if we sell our shares, the money will belong to us. How can we still fill in this hole?”

Many members of the Hong family shouted in disagreement.

They did not have many shares in their hands, and most of them were dry shares, so they could not participate in the decision-making.

Currently, they were not listed. These shares would only be useful when they received dividends at the end of the year.

Now that the Hong Group suffered heavy losses, they would not be able to receive dividends for a very long time.

Another member of the Hong family stood up, drank a glass of wine, and bravely said, “Old ancestor, I heard that there are people who are interested in the Hong Group. Why don’t we take advantage of the fact that the Hong Group’s brand is still useful, and quickly sell the company!”

“That’s right, since it can’t be listed, and now it has become a negative asset, it’s better to sell it!”

With that said, many people in the Hong family followed suit.

Old Madam Hong didn’t take it to heart at all.

The majority of the shares of the company were in her hands. She alone owned 95% of the shares, and the other 5% was distributed among the Hong family and some private equity funds. It wasn’t a big deal.

As long as she could control it and did not sell the shares in her hands, no one would be able to take away the decision-making and management rights of the Hong Group.

But now, the shares in her hands were no longer of any use. Under the pressure of the outside world, these people had already begun to “Rebel”from within.

Old Madam Hong sat at the head of the table and looked coldly at these people shouting without saying a word.

Seeing Old Madam Hong like this, most of the members of the Hong family were still quite afraid of her.

A few of the troublemakers were causing trouble, but they did not receive any response from everyone.

After shouting for a while, these people had no choice but to sit down resentfully and silently scold Old Madam Hong for being a thief even though she was old.

The dinner was bland, and everyone’s faces were full of resentment.

..

At the same time, Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were sitting in the dining room of their apartment, watching the news as they ate dinner.

The Hong Corporation had been a hot topic in the past month.

They did not know how much exposure they had received, but it was a pity that it was all negative and did not help the company’s business at all.

Gu nianzhi said regretfully, “What a pity. Guo Huining was kicked out of the Hong Corporation. She’s probably secretly laughing right now…”

Lu Jin scooped a bowl of soup for her with a smile. “Don’t worry, the best part is yet to come.”

“What else can I do?”Gu Nianzhi pouted, “Actually, Old Mrs. Hong was lenient with Guo Huining. She didn’t even take her to court for what she did, she just kicked her out of the Hong family. I’m not convinced.”

“The Hong Corporation is now discussing an out-of-court settlement with ‘raft’. I heard that they’re going to pay the amount tomorrow.”. “We might not be able to pursue Guo Huining’s legal responsibilities for the time being.”Lu Yuan calmly scooped a bowl of soup for song jinning.

Song Jinning and Gu Nianzhi looked at each other and buried their heads in the soup, listening to Lu Yuan and Lu Jin discuss business matters.

Huo Shaoheng had been called away by General Ji that night, so he couldn’t have dinner with them.

Lu Jin saw that Gu Nianzhi was always looking in the direction of the door, so he knew that she was looking forward to Huo Shaoheng’s return. He said sourly, “What are you looking at? Eat well, and be careful of indigestion if you multitask.”

Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and quickly scooped a bowl of soup for Lu Jin. She smiled as she held it with both hands and said sweetly, “Dad, have some soup!”

Lu Jin was happy and said with a smile, “The number of settlements out of court happened to drain the Hong Corporation’s working capital and a loan they just agreed on.”

“Nianzhi, follow dad to watch the show tomorrow and Watch Dad perform a magic trick for you.”
