Du Shi unconsciously raised his eyebrows, feeling a little incredulous.

Gu Xuan had just graduated, one year younger than her, and he showed his pure and sweet appearance and personality outside, but he was infected with these things in private.

"I guess she shouldn't have been infected for a long time, and when she first started filming this scene last year, she was still very easy to get along with. ”

Du Shi vaguely remembered that Gu Xuan originally had a good personality, and everyone in the group had a good relationship with her, but maybe it was because Du Shi had never had a deep relationship with her, so the impression at that time was only superficial.

Perhaps, the other two little girls were also found to be crooked after the New Year, and the company immediately stopped all their business activities. Zhou Youning said and became worried, "Few people know about this, and even the producer doesn't know about it, if it is shaken out before the release of the movie or during the release period, it will definitely have an impact." ”

Du Shi thought that even if the producer and the investor knew, they would suppress the matter first, after all, it involved the interests of many parties and the efforts of so many people.

……

Meng Yankai left Guiyang at half past seven in the morning, arrived in Beicheng at about ten o'clock, met with a partner at noon, and left for Mengze Villa in the afternoon.

At that time, Meng Zeshi had just woken up from a nap.

Meng Zeshi originally called Meng Yankai to come to Meng Ze Villa last night, Meng Yankai said that he was not in Beicheng, he originally thought that this was Meng Yankai's excuse to avoid him.

But this morning, the housekeeper Uncle Sheng said that someone reported the news below, and someone posted information on the Internet, saying that Du Shi and a man were staying in the same hotel in Guiyang.

Meng Zeshi lives on the third floor of the main building on weekdays, and the office area is on the second floor.

Meng Yankai went directly into the study to see him.

Meng Zeshi asked him, "Where did you go yesterday?"

Meng Yankai told the truth: "Guiyang." ”

"What are you doing?" Meng Zeshi is old, his face is drooping, his face is full of wrinkles like ravines, and his majesty has not faded with age.

However, in front of Meng Jingsheng, he would occasionally preach a few words patiently like a patriarch, and in front of Meng Yankai, he never saw a friendly attitude.

Uncle Sheng came in to serve tea, and listened to Meng Yan kiss and say gently: "Du Shi used to film, I didn't worry, so I went to send her." ”

Meng Zeshi was displeased: "When is it, still engaging in the fame of these children's love every day?"

"When?" Meng Yankai was not in a hurry or impatient, and personally poured him tea, "I just got married, and there is nothing wrong with running a family and husband and wife relationship while not leaving behind my job, right?"

Meng Zeshi didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he handed the tea to his mouth and blew it, snorted lowly, with a certain smile, "You are a loving person, comparable to your father, but what ......about it" He sold Guan Zi and tasted a sip of tea before he finished the following words leisurely, "Don't get carried away when you meet a woman, forget about business." ”

Meng Yankai pretended not to understand the sarcasm, so he just replied respectfully: "Well, what you said is true." ”

Meng Zeshi didn't say anything more, and muttered: "You should know the purpose of my coming to you, or the thing I told you before." ”

Meng Jingsheng's incident splashed on the Internet, although it quickly disappeared, but its impact in the industry continued.

At that time, half of the young women in the upper circle of the northern city, as well as people who were involved in the entertainment industry, stood up to speak out, and such exposure should not be underestimated.

Affected by the incident, the stock of Hengze Group dived, losing many cooperation in negotiations, as well as some investment projects in progress, and also facing the risk of withdrawal from the warning of the partner.

The board of directors is extremely dissatisfied with this, the personal style of the senior executives, which has affected the interests of the group, and Meng Jingsheng has led to many decision-making mistakes because he is too conceited, and the board of directors has a deep grudge against him.

And the "capable" recognized by the board of directors is Meng Yankai.

If Meng Yankai takes the position of president, it is obvious that the burden of the aftermath falls on Meng Yankai, including Meng Zeshi's plans.

He was asked to consolidate the group's credibility and recover the lost cooperation.

In fact, Meng Zeshi, Meng Yankai has something to do, and Meng Jingsheng's routine has been used many times.

There are many times, and people with a discerning eye know that Meng Yankai's ability is above Meng Jingsheng, which also indirectly leads to Meng Yankai's reputation in the company being better than Meng Jingsheng, I don't know how much.

However, Meng Jingsheng is the eldest young master, and there will be no accident in the future, and the highest position on the board of directors will be his. So everyone is enduring and waiting for an opportunity.

It's just that this time the situation is serious, and if Meng Jingsheng is not punished at all, it will not be able to calm the anger of the people, and it will be even more difficult to convince Meng Yan if he does not give Meng Yan a little benefit.

This was the time for the board of directors to wait.

However, when Meng Zeshi first proposed to let Meng Yankai take over the position of president and deal with the aftershocks caused by this crisis, Meng Yankai politely refused.

The reason is that the ability is limited, and it is difficult to take on important responsibilities.

The lofty tone of ignoring the dispute made Meng Zeshi angry, what are you a thousand-year-old fox talking to Lao Tzu? Relying on the support of the people on the board of directors, you want to indulge in it at a critical time, it is simply too arrogant!

Now that he is riding a tiger, Meng Yankai's achievements since he entered the company are indeed obvious to all, and the voice is so high, even if it is a temporary measure, he has to be pushed up to calm the anger of the public.

How could Meng Yankai not know that he was a shield, and Meng Zeshi was forced to promote him under pressure.

After this matter is settled, Meng Zeshi will inevitably help Meng Jingsheng up.

Without security and commitment, he would not have taken this hot potato.

So Meng Yankai still said the same sentence until now: "You overestimate me too much, I can't do anything." If I can't solve this critical order, I can't bear the consequences if I go on a business trip. ”

He also said: "Isn't it good that the uncle retired as president early, which is really a loss for the company, and now his son is temporarily relieved, no one will have a second word." ”

The implication is that who is Lao Tzu and who wipes his ass, he is not as big as Meng Jingsheng, but Meng Yankai said it more tactfully.

Seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, Meng Zeshi guessed what he was thinking about, so he had to say, "How do you agree?"

Meng Yankai leaned on the sofa and said slowly: "This is not something that I can accomplish if I want to agree, my identity, plus the past relationship...... Even if I really live up to your expectations and solve the problem, I may cause criticism again, and some people may say that I have ulterior motives, and I can't even wash myself by jumping into the Yellow River. ”

Of course, Meng Zeshi knew that after the marriage between Meng Jingsheng and Ye Yanqing was decided, the matter between Meng Yankai and Meng Jingsheng would be linked to Ye Yanqing.

Meng Jingsheng wanted to use Ye Yanqing many times to suppress Meng Yankai, if there was no Meng Zeshi's blind eye, how could it be so smooth?

Meng Zeshi looked at Meng Yankai coldly, it seemed that this person had a grudge.

Meng Zeshi thought for a long time and said, "In this way, you will temporarily take the position of president first." After the matter is completed, you will be officially promoted, and if it is not fair, you will not be held responsible, how about this?"

Meng Yankai didn't speak, as if he was embarrassed, and after a while, his face was reluctant, and then he said, "I can only say, try it first." ”

"Okay, your eldest brother is at home, you can talk to him later and tell him, you are in charge of the project in his hand for the time being. ”

……

After Meng Yankai left, Meng Zeshi sat there without moving, and only got up after a while, and walked to the window to see his flowers and plants.

Uncle Sheng asked: "You asked the second young man to find the big one, didn't you mean to make the big one uncomfortable?"

Meng Zeshi snorted coldly: "Uncomfortable? What is there to be uncomfortable about him, just to use this to frustrate his sharpness, and see if he dares to act recklessly in the future." It just so happened that he could learn a good lesson by taking the post of replacing him, and I hope he can sharpen his temperament and let him know that he is not unique, and that he will have to consider the consequences in the future. ”

Uncle Sheng was silent.

Meng Zeshi shook his head and sighed: "Jingsheng is too proud, he thinks very highly of himself, and he thinks he can control everything. ”

Uncle Sheng also felt sorry for him, and said: "The second young man is becoming more and more calm. ”

"It's getting more and more like his father, and he dares to calculate on me. Meng Zeshi sneered, "But he can win the hearts of those people on the board of directors, and he can be regarded as having some ability." ”

Meng Zeshi is so old, how can he not have the eyesight to see, and besides, he has good ears and eyes, how can he not know any news about what he has done?

If there is no accident, he can get it back.

What he wants is to sit in the position of president justifiably, accept orders in danger, and ascend to the position with ability, who will have a second word when the time comes? I am afraid that he can still gain a group of supporters, and by the way, he will step on Meng Jingsheng.

Kill two birds with one stone, very shrewd.

Uncle Sheng also smiled: "Now it seems that the relationship between him and Du Shi is very good, and there is more support from Du Sui behind him, I am worried that the group's companies in Nanshen City may be dependent on him." ”

"This step by step," Meng Zeshi almost wanted to applaud, "if Jingsheng had half of his patience and forbearance, it wouldn't be like this." ”

After a while, he asked again, "Are you sure that he and Dusch have not been in contact before?"

Uncle Sheng shook his head: "Before the wedding, there was indeed no contact, and even the number of times I appeared on the same social occasion was only a handful, and there was no communication." ”

"Du Shi ......" Meng Zeshi pondered, remembering Du Shi's many maintenance of Meng Yankai, and finally sighed again, and said with a headache: "Look at the one Jing Sheng married!"

……

Meng Yankai came out of the main building and went to another building, which was the residence of Meng Zeshi's eldest son, Meng Zhixu and his wife.

After the board of directors turned against Meng Jingsheng, Meng Jingsheng was beaten by Meng Zhixu and brought back to be confined and confined after Ye Yanqing was discharged from the hospital, he went back to the new house alone to recuperate.

Meng Zhixu was on business, and his wife Han Jingyu was at home, and when he saw Meng Yankai, he was not very welcome.

She frowned and looked at Meng Yankai: "You are here ......"

Meng Yan opened the one-handed bag and glanced at her, quite kindly: "Grandpa asked me to come and talk to my eldest brother about some business." ”

Hearing this, Han Jingyu became more vigilant.

"Inconvenient?" Meng Yankai raised his eyebrows lightly, "If it's inconvenient, I'll tell my grandfather to talk about it another day." ”

"No," Han Jingyu glanced at him, "He's upstairs in the study, I'll take you there." ”

The reason why I want someone to bring it up is because the study door is locked from the outside, and it is still a combination lock. Meng Zhixu spoke, and before Ye Yanqing recovered, he was not allowed to leave this door at all.

Han Jingyu opened the door for him, and Meng Yan drove in.

This study is open to Meng Jingsheng's bedroom, and the door of the master bedroom is also locked.

In fact, even if there is no lock, Meng Jingsheng will not leave on his own, Meng Zeshi is determined to make him look good this time, if he is disobedient again, there will be no good fruit to eat, and the confinement is also a move to calm the stubborn anger of the board of directors, just a formality.

When Meng Yankai entered, Meng Jingsheng was practicing calligraphy in his pajamas, his face was still injured, his hair was unmanaged, and he fell soft.

Meng Jingsheng held a brush in his hand, glanced at him, and snorted: "What are you doing?"

"The old man asked me to come to you and talk to you about something. Meng Yankai walked in, like his own home, stood on the side of the sofa and looked twice, unbuttoned his suit, sat down on the sofa by himself, folded his legs, and looked at Meng Jingsheng standing behind the desk with a smile.

"Tell me about it. Meng Jingsheng didn't raise his head and continued to complete his calligraphy.

Meng Yankai took a leisurely posture, lit a cigarette slowly, and then said with a smile: "The old man asked me to temporarily take your place, solve your bunch of things, and then officially appoint." ”

Meng Yankai saw that Meng Jingsheng's hand froze, and he didn't know what it looked like, for a long time, Meng Jingsheng slowly stood up straight, his face was pale, and he stared at him fiercely.

Meng Jingsheng dropped the brush in his hand, and the ink splashed everywhere on the table.

If Meng Yankai didn't have the old man's instructions, how could he personally come to the door to give him such a horse?

Meng Jingsheng had a cold face, looking at the smug and calm expression on his face, he smiled angrily and slapped his face, "Okay! Huang Tian lived up to his hard work, and finally let you get your wish." ”

The second half of the sentence is said through gritted teeth.

Meng Yankai put his elbow on the arm of the sofa, raised his hand to hold the cigarette, and nodded at him calmly, "Thank you." ”

Meng Jingsheng suffered a lifetime of humiliation, and even the ink platform was lifted, he sat down on the chair and looked at Meng Yankai with pity, "This is not the end yet, it is too early to be proud, be careful and fall even worse." ”

"Oh, what is the eldest brother going to do? Let Ye Yanqing come to me to do some damage again?" Meng Yankai took a sip and slowly exhaled smoke, his tone was quite boring, "I only know how to use a woman to do some small tricks, is there anything new?" Besides, this woman is still your wife, whose face is it that you lost in the end?"

Meng Jingsheng squinted at him.

Meng Yankai's eyes were silent and arrogant, his smile was gentle, and through a wisp of smoke, he made a lip gesture at him: stupid.

Meng Jingsheng suddenly got up to him as if he had been touched, grabbed Meng Yankai's collar, and the green tendons on his neck bulged out of emotion.

"Why are you as shameless as your father? There are some things you think you can fight for?" Meng Jingsheng gritted his teeth, "Your woman is me now, and Hengze will not have your share in the future, do you think there will be any difference between you and your father?"

Meng Yankai's smile turned cold.

After Meng Jingsheng finished speaking, he threw a punch with all his strength into his face.

Meng Yankai dodged and staggered, reached out to restrain his right arm, got up and fell back, bent his knees to press the person under him, and his elbows against the back of his neck.

Meng Jingsheng was angry, his movements were not orderly, and he was injured by Meng Zhixu, so he couldn't break away from him at all.

Meng Yankai stretched out his hand to pat his face, and smiled in a low voice: "Why, you gave you a little sweetness on the night of your wedding, do you really think that I can't kill you? The strong don't deserve sympathy, let you be injured alone, wouldn't others think that I was bullying you, um? I see that you have a lot of injuries on your body at this time, and you shouldn't be able to see it if you add one more." ”

He said, without giving time to react, punched him in the ribs, and the deeper the laugh, the harder the shot, "What the hell do you think the world revolves around you? ”

Say a word and punch it.

At last, he suddenly stood up, his shoes crushed the cigarette butts on the ground, and a hole was burned in the carpet.

He opened his suit, turned his neck, stared at Meng Jingsheng on the ground, straightened the folds of his shirt, and the sound of entering the password came from the door, Meng Jingsheng jumped up and punched him.

When Han Jingyu came in, he saw Meng Jingsheng shooting towards Meng Yan, and when he saw this, he immediately went to stop him, and looked at Meng Yankai, who was beaten red on the left side of his face, and was so anxious that Meng Jingsheng would be punished again because of this, so he asked Meng Yankai to leave quickly.

Meng Yankai pressed his face and said generously, "I'm fine." Kindly and helplessly left a sentence: "Big brother, he is a little emotional, but grandpa has looked for it a few times, and I can't help it." ”

At the end, he looked at Meng Jingsheng, straightened his suit, hooked his lower lip and said, "Big brother, I'll go first." ”

He turned around and swaggered out the door.

The jaw on the left side of his face was spicy and painful from the corner of his mouth, Meng Yankai didn't care, and quietly smoked a cigarette in the car in a good mood.

He looked at the fountain facing the main building a hundred meters away, and there was an indescribable sense of pleasure.

……

The next day, Hengze Group issued an internal official document, first announcing the punishment of Meng Jingsheng, demoting him to vice president, leaving his post without pay for one month, and Meng Yankai temporarily acting as president.

When the people in the general manager's office saw the announcement in the OA system, they were all boiling.

Meng Yankai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, smoking a cigarette and looking at the ants on the street.

Yesterday's happiness faded, and today my heart is calm.

It didn't take long for him to receive a call from Ning Xun, which was unexpected by him.

Ning Xun faded away from the hostility when he first met, and said kindly on the other end of the phone: "Brother-in-law, I specially called to thank you this time. ”

"What?" Meng Yan frowned.

Ning Xun said: "Wei Xingzhou's incident! I heard that you persuaded him in the end, you don't know how important his investment is to Ning Tian's project! I just arrived in Rongcheng today to negotiate a contract with him, and I feel that I still have to thank you." ”

"Not necessarily. Meng Yankai felt that this person should have something to say.

Ning Xun really said again: "I know that you are looking at Du Shi's face, and it has nothing to do with me. But as his brother, I also have to thank you, it was not easy for Du Shi to find someone who was good to her. She used to have a deep relationship, and she couldn't get out for so many years, but I saw that after she was with you, she began to get better, and her state was completely different, I am very pleased. I hope you can help her get out of it completely. ”

Meng Yankai was a little stunned at first, and then slowly tasted the meaning of his words, pursed his lips and did not answer.

Over there, Ning Xun then smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to get in the car, I'll come to Beicheng to invite you to dinner when I'm free, hang up." ”

Meng Yankai pinched the line, and after a long time, he stared out the window and slowly cursed.
