"What lawsuit? Who's not good-looking to sue again?"

Gu Jue frowned fiercely, and opened his mouth to curse.

Nearly half of the designs they sent to Zeguang were real and fake, and I heard that some auctioneers had noticed the clues and complained before.

However, the other party was easily 'persuaded' by the person in charge of Zeguang and Lingyu to retreat.

Recently, the cooperation between Lingyu Design and Zeguang Auction has expired, how can anyone still make a fuss?

"What does he do? Use the usual excuses to block that person's mouth! If you really can't control it, just go to our warehouse and add a few real ingredients."

Gu Jue took the solution for granted, and impatiently expressed his opinion to the employees of the legal department, "This little matter can't be solved well, and you came to me in a panic when you got a court summons? What does the company support you for?" ?”

Gu Jue smelled the fragrance of secretary Susu, and couldn't help but wrap her up a little tighter, "You guys are not as good at handling things as the new Susu, and attracting people's liking."

The head of the operations department and the staff of the legal department looked at each other—they saw through the contempt in each other's eyes—

With such a boss, their company is really doomed!

The staff member approached with the court summons, and said without any emotion, "Mr. Gu, it is not a single buyer suing, but a total of [-] buyers jointly suing our design products for adulteration. .”

"..."

Gu Jue was stunned, obviously he didn't understand the number 'fourteen'.

There are only about [-] pieces of design products they sell that are genuine and fake. How can more than half of them notice it at the same time and sue immediately?This is impossible!

The employee of the legal department continued, "The other party sued us at the same time, Lingyu Design and Zeguang Auction, accusing us of being involved in fraud, because the total auction amount of 7000 buyers was as high as [-] million, and the attached civil lawsuit demanded compensation from us—point Four hundred million."

"My God!"

When Secretary Susu heard the huge amount of compensation, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Gu Jue was annoyed by her noise, and pushed her away mercilessly, "Get out!"

Susu was thrown off the edge of the sofa by surprise, and fell from heaven to hell in seconds. She met the subtle eyes of the other two employees, her whole body was flushed, and she ran away immediately.

With a pale face, Gu Jue glanced at the subpoena handed over by the employee, and then tore it into pieces angrily, "This group of shameless things!"

"However, with a few fake beads from him, how dare the lion ask us to compensate this amount?"

Seeing Gu Jue's weak sense of morality, the employees of the legal department felt even more displeased.

The buyer is protecting his own legitimate interests, but Gu Jue and Lingyu have designed something wrong, and now they are still blaming the buyer for being unkind?

If he hadn't got Lingyu's salary, he would have wanted to blow Gu Jue's head right now.

"Mr. Gu, if the court finds that our design products are adulterated and constitutes fraud, even if the amount of compensation can be reduced, this responsibility..."

According to the relevant regulations, even if the design of Lingyu is only mixed with fake jade, the amount added by the fourteen buyers should not be underestimated, it is already considered a huge amount.

Before he finished speaking, the head of the operation department took the news he had just received and said, "Mr. Gu, the fact that we were jointly sued for adulteration has also been exposed by the media."

Gu Jue wanted to touch the phone in his pocket, but it took him a few seconds to realize that it had been broken by himself.

He breathed heavily, and said to the head of the operation department, "...bring it to me to see!"

The head of the operation department handed over his mobile phone page. The message was sent 15 minutes ago, and the title was particularly exaggerated-"Lingyu design has been exposed for a long time for adulteration and sales, and the amount involved has reached as high as [-] million!"

"What bullshit and unscrupulous media?" Gu Jue's reason was not completely swallowed by anger, and he suddenly clenched his phone tightly.

Adulterated sales for a long time?The amount involved - [-] million?

Obviously, it was only a problem with the auction of design items, but such a title could easily cause panic among ordinary customers!

The most terrible thing is that the "black material" about Lingyu's design is far more than this one.

These media seemed to be under the control of others at the same time, collecting all the negative news about Gu Jue Management Company in the past few years, and breaking it out all at once.

The superposition of such layers of negative news will have a huge impact on the company.

The director of the operation department asked cautiously, "Mr. Gu, what should we do now? Should we contact these media first and spend money to take down these online messages?"

Otherwise, it will be useless for them to withdraw the message after the timeliness passes and the spread spreads.

Gu Jue rubbed his temples that were beginning to swell, and responded in a low voice.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the legal department employee who was still standing there, and asked incredulously, "What is the most serious responsibility for the prosecution?"

"Sentence to fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years, or even life imprisonment, compensation and fines, and confiscation of company property in serious cases."

Gu Jue's heart sank to the bottom.

It took Lingyu a lot of effort to get better, if this really happened, wouldn't it be a loss of money and people?

No, these things—a series of occurrences—must be manipulated by someone behind the scenes!

Who is it?

A name suddenly flashed across Gu Jue's mind.

In the next second, another person rushed in in a panic, "Mr. Gu, it's not good! Just now the forest factory called to say that our private factory was blocked by the relevant department."

The private factory they use for pickling and injecting jadeite is not affiliated with Lingyu, but has a special supply chain of interests. How could something go wrong at this time?

House seemingly endless rain.

The employee who just ran through the door didn't give Gu Jue any time to think, and continued talking.

"Mr. Gu, the security guard just called in and said that four or five media reporters have gathered at the door one after another. They want you to come forward and explain to the online revelations."

"..."

Gu Jue was silent for a while, and only gritted his teeth to hold back a few words, "Shi Yunnan! You're cruel!"

Apart from this person, who else can hold his lifeline in a short period of time?

Gu Jue only felt that the headache was getting worse and worse, and he had a vague premonition in his heart——

After spending so long with the glamorous packaging designed by Lingyu, he finally overturned?

……

After 20 days.

Seeing the text message from Zheng Yan, Yuan Rui almost jumped up from the spot happily. He quickly walked into his friend's independent design studio, "Yunnan, are you done with your work? Share with you a news that will make you laugh."

Shi Yunnan stopped the new design draft that was almost completed in his hand, leaned on the office chair and raised his head, "Look at your arrogant appearance, is it about Gu Jue and Lingyu's design?"

Yuan Rui snapped his fingers, and handed him his mobile phone directly, "Brother Zheng, didn't they sue Lingyu and Zeguang together? As a result, the court was about to start, and Zeguang 'counter-sued' again. "

Zeguang Auction House sued Lingyu for defrauding them to carry out auction transactions, thus harming the legal interests of their auction company and causing reputation loss.

In the face of interests, it is common for dogs to bite dogs.

Yuan Ruile asked humbly, "I see, Gu Jue and Lingyu are going to stumble this time, and those compensations can bring their company to the brink of bankruptcy, right?"

"Don't wait, Lingyu is almost unable to hold on now."

Because of the chain exposure of news such as 'adulterated sales', the situation - after fermentation, Lingyu's online and offline customers rolled up - a wave of 'return and refund' followed suit.

Not to mention Lingyu's new quarterly designs, which subtly imitate their studio's designs, have all smashed the inventory, and even the accessories that have been sold for a long time, netizens have gone to the relevant online platforms to complain and demand refunds.

There are very few companies that can withstand such a toss, let alone Lingyu Design, which has been "tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall" under the leadership of Gu Jue.

"Yuan Rui, you can try to contact some old employees of Lingyu."

Although it is said that a leader like Gu Jue will indirectly affect the work mentality of the employees, perhaps—from the pile of stones, unpolished and long-hidden jade can still be picked out.

"At the beginning, Lingyu pried our corner, now it's our turn to treat him in the same way."

When Yuan Rui heard his friend's suggestion, he couldn't help but twitched again, "What do you say? I've already arranged it, and indeed I can find two or three good employees."

"By the way, several designers like Yang Sen wanted to contact me a few days ago, but I didn't agree..."

I looked down on their studio at the beginning, but now I want to come back. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Shi Yunnan accepted his friend's chattering complaints with a smile, subconsciously pressed the back button on his phone, and exited the WeChat chat interface with Zheng Yan.

It wasn't until he caught sight of the top WeChat profile picture and chat messages that he suddenly realized that it was Yuan Rui's phone.

Shi Yunnan immediately returned the phone, "Yuan Rui, I'm sorry, I exited the chat interface as my own phone."

"What's the matter? It's okay."

Yuan Rui obviously didn't realize the meaning of Shi Yunnan's apology, so he casually put the phone back in his pocket.

Seeing him, Shi Yunnan's eyes changed subtly, and the WeChat interface he just saw unconsciously appeared in his mind.

The avatar on the top is a pure white box, and the remark is the word 'Brother Shi', and the chat message of that line stays at 8 minutes ago, and there is only a simple and submissive sentence——

"Brother, can you stop being angry with me?"

Obviously, it was Yuan Rui who sent it to Lu Zhaoan.

"Why didn't you speak suddenly?" Yuan Rui waved his hand in front of Shi Yunnan's eyes, teasing, "Isn't he missing Mr. Luo? When will he come back from abroad?"

"Probably another seven or eight days."

Shi Yunnan put away those thoughts, and didn't deliberately bring up the wechat content that he had glimpsed by accident.

As an outsider, Shi Yunnan could perceive Yuan Rui's deep-seated dependence on Lu Zhaoan.

Some things may be scars hidden in a friend's heart, and he doesn't want to mention, touch, or hurt casually.

"By the way, have you packed your things? I'm leaving for Jingshi the day after tomorrow." Shi Yunnan changed the subject.

Inspired by foreign jade porcelain exhibitions, he plans to study the content of porcelain to see if it can be reasonably used in future jade decoration designs.

This time, he successively set up Dehua County in Jingshi and Fushi for a half-month field trip.Because Luo Lingsheng was not there, Shi Yunnan had no choice but to find Yuan Rui to go with him.

Yuan Rui immediately showed excitement, "This is no nonsense, don't forget that the hotel is all arranged by me."

Shi Yunnan smiled, "That's fine, I won't come over tomorrow, and meet at the airport the day after tomorrow?"

"no problem."

……

Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui had stayed in Jingshi for a full week before continuing to Fushi according to the original plan.

Yuan Rui put down his luggage, stretched his waist, and said comfortably, "Sure enough, it's a city near the sea. It smells like seafood even when you get off the plane."

Shi Yunnan smiled and walked towards the front exit, "What kind of dog nose are you?"

"Hey, don't believe it, this air is clearly different from our Imperial Capital..."

Yuan Rui followed him as he talked, the two of them - heard a crisp call when they left the airport gate -

"Uncle!"

Shi Yunnan almost thought he was hallucinating.

He hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, only to find that there was a big-small figure less than ten meters away from the exit.

Luo Lingsheng sat quietly in the wheelchair, while Little Goldfish was standing beside him with a small satchel and a small hat, bouncing around.

Seeing that Shi Yunnan found them, the little goldfish quickly waved and jumped, "Little uncle! Here, here!"

Yuan Rui was stunned, "I'll go, isn't this Mr. Luo? Yun Nan..."

Shi Yunnan didn't listen to his friend, left his luggage and ran over.

The little goldfish quickly ran up and opened his hands to beg for a hug, but unexpectedly, Shi Yunnan passed him and rushed straight in front of Luo Lingsheng, silently confirming the authenticity of this face.

Luo Lingsheng stroked the side of his neck, and asked with a smile, "Don't you know me?"

Shi Yunnan approached and kissed Luo Lingsheng quickly, and couldn't help but chuckled, "Who did you borrow the random door from? When you called two days ago, didn't you say you would wait for me at home when you returned home?"

Luo Lingsheng was pleased by the short kiss just now, and felt that this trip was not in vain, "I don't want to interrupt your work, and I don't want to waste the time we can spend together."

At the end of the first rehabilitation cycle, there are only ten days back and forth for adjustment and rest.

Shi Yunnan was originally scheduled to stay in Fuzhou for another week or so, Luo Lingsheng thought about it, and the first thing he did after landing in the Imperial Capital was to buy a plane ticket to Fuzhou.

"Little goldfish is spoiled by you, insisting that I come with you." Luo Lingsheng said again.

No, all the uncles and nephews came, and their flight was half an hour earlier than Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui, so they stayed here and waited.

When Shi Yunnan heard the name 'Little Goldfish', he suddenly remembered his little nephew who had been ignored by him just now.

He quickly turned around, and saw the little goldfish pouted and complained sullenly, "Hmph! Little uncle only likes uncle, and doesn't like me anymore!"

Shi Yunnan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly hugged him up, "Nonsense, I miss our little goldfish the most these two days."

The little goldfish was immediately coaxed into joy, and put his arms around Shi Yunnan's neck and refused to let go, "Little uncle, I miss you the most too!"

Yuan Rui came up carrying Shi Yunnan's luggage, and looked at the little goldfish interestingly, "Yunnan, who is this kid? This little milk fat looks really fun."

Shi Yunnan pinched the little goldfish's soft milk fat, and deliberately teased his friend, "Come on, this is your brother, did you notice? Both of you have similar milk fat?"

The implication is that he regards Yuan Rui as his son again.

Yuan Rui snorted, "Stop doing this, where do I have milk fat? It disappeared 800 years ago."

Only the little goldfish believed it, and called out obediently, "Hello, brother."

"..."

Yuan Rui, who suddenly dropped his seniority, was at a loss for words.

Shi Yunnan was amused by the 'two sons', and couldn't help but blinked at Luo Lingsheng beside him, the exhaustion of the past few days was swept away at this moment.

Yuan Rui glanced at the time, and asked Luo Lingsheng cautiously, "Mr. Luo, have you decided where to live?"

Their destination tonight is Dehua County, and there is still four hours' drive away from Fushi Airport. It is estimated that it will be late there.

Because it is a county town and there are no high-star hotels, Yuan Rui found a local homestay with a relatively high rating and characteristics, which was agreed by Shi Yunnan.

"Yunnan reported the address of the homestay to me before, and I asked Qin Jian to book an extra room."

Because it is not the peak season, the rooms of the homestay are still very easy to book.

Although Luo Lingsheng was picky about the accommodation conditions, he didn't want to disrupt Shi Yunnan's original work plan. This time, he should just bring the little goldfish out to play, or stay in a unique homestay.

Yuan Rui nodded, "That's good."

"I asked Qin Jian to book a car in advance. He and Yuan Meng just went to pick up the car. Shall we wait for them outside?" Luo Lingsheng asked.

Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Yeah! Go out and play!" Only the little goldfish was particularly excited.

Ever since he met Shi Yunnan, he completely released his playful nature.

Luo Lingsheng has nothing to do with his little nephew. Fortunately, Little Goldfish is only in the middle class of kindergarten. He is a smart learner and can't miss too many lessons.

"Let's go, Qin Jian and the others should be coming back soon."

"it is good."

……

Yuan Meng and Qin Jian took turns driving, and it took nearly four and a half hours for the pedestrians to arrive at their destination tonight.

Yuan Rui is still very reliable. The environment and sanitation of the homestay booked are very good. In order to take care of the little goldfish, Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng stayed in a family room.

Under Qin Jian's advance instructions, the boss also prepared an extra table of sumptuous dinner.

Yuan Rui chose to go out for a stroll after dinner.

Facing the sincere invitation from his friend, Shi Yunnan chose 'return to the family' without hesitation, waved his hands and followed Luo Lingsheng and Xiao Jinyu back to the room.

in the bathroom.

Shi Yunnan looked at the little goldfish playing and splashing in the bathtub, and said with a smile, "I'll let you make a fuss for a while, and get up obediently in 10 minutes, okay?"

It's not good to take a bath for too long, and it's not good if the water temperature is cold.

The little goldfish nodded cutely with bubbles on its nose, "Okay."

Shi Yunnan didn't close the bathroom door, so as not to hear any movement of the little goldfish.He walked out of the bathroom and unexpectedly saw Luo Lingsheng propping his hands against the wall, slowly moving towards the bed little by little.

Luo Lingsheng caught a glimpse of Shi Yunnan from the corner of his eye, and was distracted for a moment, and then his body's center of gravity shifted.

"careful!"

Shi Yunnan quickly approached.

Fortunately, Luo Lingsheng adjusted his posture in time and fell on the bed that was very close to him.

Shi Yunnan quickly supported him, "Are you all right? Did you hit your leg?"

"fine."

Luo Lingsheng replied in a low voice, pressing his hands lightly on his legs.

Shi Yunnan heaved a sigh of relief, but when he remembered his lover's gesture of walking against the wall just now, his face showed obvious joy, "Are your legs okay?"

Luo Ling sighed with a smile, "Not so fast. According to Dr. Bens, it will take a long time to recover. It is not yet determined how far we can recover."

It may be the beginning of good luck, or it may only be this step in the end.

After all, Luo Lingsheng has been in a wheelchair for the past few years, and his legs are definitely not as good as ordinary people, but compared to the previous situation of ignorance and weakness, it is indeed a rapid improvement now.

Shi Yunnan's smile widened, and he didn't speak in the slightest of frustration, "It's already very good to be able to do this. We have so much time, so let's spend it slowly."

Luo Lingsheng nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Shi Yunnan's still empty ring finger.

Compared with the contentment of his lover, he still hopes that he can recover to his best condition as quickly as possible, preferably before the anniversary of the two of them receiving their certificates.

Some things, he has already prepared.

For some words that have been hidden for a long time, he should wait until the right time to say them.

Just as he was thinking, the little goldfish begged softly for help from the bathroom, "Uncle, little uncle, I'm fine, but the clothes weren't brought in."

Luo Lingsheng took the initiative to say, "I'll get it for the little goldfish. I just saw that there is no drinking water in the room. Would you go downstairs to get some?"

"it is good."

Shi Yunnan readily agreed, got up and went downstairs.

The first floor of the B&B is an open lobby and kitchen, the boss is not around at the moment, Shi Yunnan was just about to search for the location of the drinking water, when he saw Yuan Ruimu walk in with an expression on his face.

The two looked at each other.

Yuan Rui lost his usual energy and just twitched the corners of his mouth, "Yunnan, why aren't you in the room?"

"Go downstairs and get some water."

Shi Yunnan quickly approached him, worried and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you go out just now?"

"Just now... I seem to have seen my teacher... I saw Lu Zhao'an." Yuan Rui stammered, and then denied himself, "It's nothing, it's just a back view, I must have misread it."

After all, before Yuan Rui came back to his senses, the man disappeared.

Yuan Rui exhaled a trace of turbid air from his chest. He was afraid that his friend would laugh at him, so he quickly put on an indifferent smile, "Okay, I'm going back to my room to rest, I'm almost exhausted today."

"There seems to be a whole bottle of mineral water in the kitchen, go and have a look."

Shi Yunnan nodded silently.

After watching Yuan Rui's back leave, he took three bottles of mineral water and walked towards his room.

The family room is arranged in the innermost part of the second floor.

Shi Yunnan was walking, when suddenly the lights in the corridor went out and fell into the darkness for no reason.

"..."

power cut?

Shi Yunnan was stunned, his instinctive resistance caused his chest to suddenly feel tight, and he clenched the palm holding the mineral water bottle tightly, but the water bottle suddenly fell off.

Coincidentally, the water bottle fell on the toe through the fabric of the disposable slippers, and there was a heavy dull pain.

Shi Yunnan's eyes were shrouded in darkness, and he couldn't see his surroundings at all.In desperation, he could only slowly squat down along the original position, just like every time in the past——

Trying to curl up and give yourself a sense of security.

Suddenly there was a sound of opening the door in the darkness, and the light of the mobile phone came out quickly.

"Yunnan?"

Luo Lingsheng's tense voice was full of worry.

Shi Yunnan squinted his eyes, and saw clearly the person coming at the end with the help of the light, he almost reacted immediately, and ran over without hesitation.

Luo Lingsheng immediately put his lover in his arms, and while soothing his nervous body with his hands, he kept coaxing, "It's okay, I'm here with you, it should just be a trip."

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have asked you to get water... It was so dark just now, did you fall somewhere?"

Luo Lingsheng arrived in time this time, Shi Yunnan calmed down under his soothing words, and he cleared his throat which was a little dry due to physical reasons.

"I'm fine, it's just that the mineral water was thrown on the ground."

As soon as the voice fell, the lights in the corridor returned to brightness, presumably it was a temporary trip.

Luo Lingsheng observed Shi Yunnan's situation for the first time, and after confirming that the other party's face was fine, he kissed his lips again, "It's fine, let's go back to the room."

He thought for a while, and persuaded, "I'd better go back to the hotel in the city tomorrow, and the journey will take more - hours."

Shi Yunnan nodded silently.

The half-hidden door on the side was opened again.

The little goldfish walked out holding his little quilt, and the fear in his eyes disappeared after seeing the two parents.

"Uncle, it's just dark."

The little goldfish complained belatedly.

When something happened suddenly just now, Luo Lingsheng remembered Shi Yunnan's fear of a completely dark environment, so he temporarily left behind his little nephew who hadn't fallen asleep, and drove out in a wheelchair.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Shi Yunnan withdrew from Luo Lingsheng's arms, got up and rubbed the little goldfish's head.

The pain in his feet hadn't completely dissipated, he looked down and said casually, "Tsk, I was hit by a mineral water bottle just now, and my toes still hurt."

Luo Ling frowned, and immediately took his hand, "Go into the room, let me take a look for you."

He paused, "Jin Yu."

"Ah? Yes!"

The little goldfish opened his eyes wide, thinking that his uncle was deeply sorry and wanted to say something to comfort him.

Luo Lingsheng demanded, "Go and pick up those bottles of mineral water in the corridor."

The little goldfish made an 'oh' sound, and only after the two uncles entered the room did he leisurely go to pick up the mineral water bottle.

The little hair on the head - trembling - trembling, as if swearing the true mood of the little goldfish -

snort!

Sure enough, the little uncle and uncle were the most eccentric!
