Gu Sisi woke up and saw Huo Cheng sitting beside her at a glance.
Due to her physical discomfort, she frowned slightly, then propped herself up on her elbows and slowly sat up. Although she was extremely careful, she still woke up Huo Cheng, who had his eyes slightly closed.
His sharp eyes opened, and the coldness in them gradually softened. His voice in the early morning was lazy and magnetic, like the sound of a bass.
"Get some more rest. Don't overwork yourself." As he said this, he still stood up, supported Gu Sisi with both hands, let her lean against the head of the bed, and then sat down.
Hearing the word "rest", Gu Sisi wanted to complain. She had been in the hospital for a whole night.
Because of her special situation, even though she had woken up, the doctor couldn't guarantee that she was absolutely fine.
"Can I be discharged today?" Gu Sisi asked with a smile on her lips and expectation in her eyes.
Huo Cheng shook his head firmly and said resolutely, "No. You still need to be observed for a few days."
She let out a silent wail in her heart and pretended to be wronged on the surface. "Okay!"
Deep down, she knew that he was doing this for her own good, but on the other hand, she felt sorry that she couldn't seize the time to improve herself.
After the two had breakfast in the ward together.
Huo Cheng, who originally wanted to stay and accompany her, received an urgent call and rushed to the company in a hurry.
Looking at the empty ward, she stared blankly at the ceiling.
Finally, she had a sudden inspiration.
She could use this rest time to improve herself! So she planned to read Sister Juan's works. She thought that by reading more, she would surely gain something.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned on her phone, a piece of news popped up.
She just took a quick glance and deleted it, but the impression from that glance lingered in her mind.
What?
Gu Sisi almost suspected that she had misread. She directly searched according to the impression, and sure enough, the news she had just glanced at appeared at the top of the search results.
"CEO of Huoshi Group Beats a Newcomer on the Set. What's the Relationship Between the Two?"
Perhaps due to the misleading title, most of the comments below were speculations about the relationship between the two.
"They seem to be in a romantic relationship. Is this domestic violence?"
"That woman must have done something bad to deserve this!"
"The person above is too much. Anyway, it's wrong for a man to beat a woman."
"I agree with the person above. It looks like he's trying to beat her to death. Isn't this illegal?"
...
As Gu Sisi scrolled through the comments, her heart became more and more panicked. She directly opened the video.
The video was very clear. It was less than a minute long, but it was obvious that Huo Cheng was beating someone. There were two men in the video. Gu Sisi could immediately recognize one of them as Chen Fang. The two men kept attacking the woman in the video. In the last scene, one of them picked up a man and threw him at the defenseless woman.
Although there were only four people in the video, and the extra person was just in a coma, Gu Sisi was sure that this was what happened the day before yesterday.
She wasn't in the video, which must have been maliciously edited.
Gu Sisi was just about to get out of bed when she looked up and met Yang Qian's eyes. Yang Qian had just pushed open the door of the ward.
"Sister Sisi, where are you going? Didn't Brother Huo say that you still need to rest in bed?"
Gu Sisi only paused for a second and then continued to put on her coat and prepare to leave.
"I have something urgent. I'm in a hurry." Gu Sisi was extremely anxious.
She knew the consequences of this incident fermenting on the Internet. Most people would start scolding without knowing the truth. She couldn't just watch this happen. She had to find a way to solve it.
"Sister Sisi?" When Gu Sisi walked towards her, Yang Qian just stood there stunned. Gu Sisi walked past Yang Qian at the door, but was immediately grabbed by Jiang Lihao, who came late.
"Where are you going?" he asked puzzledly. He looked at Yang Qian beside him, and Yang Qian could only shake her head blankly.
She really didn't know anything at the moment.
Jiang Lihao glanced at the phone in Gu Sisi's hand, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Did you see the video on the Internet?"
"What video?"
Gu Sisi just wanted to break free and leave quickly, so she definitely didn't have time to answer the question. Yang Qian thought it was strange when she heard this question.
"Brother Huo's video. The main point is that Brother Huo 'beat someone'."
He summarized it in one sentence. Yang Qian's mouth formed an O shape. She rarely surfed the Internet and really didn't know about this today.
So she hurriedly checked, and sure enough.
Seeing this situation, Gu Sisi became even more anxious. Every second of delay would make more people misunderstand Huo Cheng. She used all her strength to break free.
"Let go of me quickly! I really have to help him." Due to her struggle, her facial expression was extremely ferocious.
Jiang Lihao raised his eyebrows and knew what Gu Sisi was going to do.
"Don't worry. Brother Huo must have his own way. We came here this time because he entrusted us to take good care of you. For your own sake, Sister-in-law, please rest well. Only in this way can Brother Huo solve this problem properly."
Jiang Lihao said calmly.
Gu Sisi sighed. Indeed, she was originally going to go and question Zheng Xiaoyun.
She knew that this incident must be related to her. It was thoughtless of her to go there rashly.
Seeing Gu Sisi hesitate, Yang Qian quickly pulled her back.
"Yes! I believe Brother Huo is definitely not such a person. And with Brother Huo's ability, he will definitely be able to solve this problem."
...
At this moment, Huo Cheng was sitting expressionlessly in the meeting room.
The shareholders below were speaking passionately, spitting all over the place.
"You must give us an explanation. The stock price is dropping sharply now. I'm afraid that if this continues, within a month, all our previous efforts will be in vain." an elder said righteously.
Although the others didn't fully agree, they all looked ugly.
Indeed, Huoshi Group was the first to be affected by this online storm. The stock price had shrunk like a free fall. A group of shareholders were worried, so they used their rights to call the CEO, Mr. Huo, for a meeting.
"We can't just sit back and do nothing!"
"What will happen if this continues?"
The complaints came one after another, but the person sitting in the chief seat didn't even change his expression. He still sat there firmly like a mountain.
"I think we should remove this negative news as soon as possible. The sooner, the better." someone said anxiously, his face red and his neck thick.
Only then did Huo Cheng's body show some movement. He adjusted his posture, glanced lightly at the crowd, and tapped his fingers on the table, making a clear sound.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The meeting room, which had been as noisy as a vegetable market, immediately fell silent.
Everyone looked over in unison. Chen Fang beside him quickly said, "Everyone, please calm down. I believe that our CEO, Mr. Huo, will definitely solve this crisis."
The expressions of this group of people relaxed a little.
Huo Cheng looked at the crowd and a faint smile curled up on his lips.
