most charming

The feeling of being pushed to the forefront by the media is quite bad. Lin Tao has tried this kind of feeling before, and this time it is finally George's turn.

These media reporters could almost be detectives. Without the cooperation of the police, they were able to restore the whole incident to the seventy-eight eighty-eight, which really made Petrov feel helpless and ashamed.

More importantly, the current public opinion atmosphere is very unfavorable to George. When Lin Tao was bombarded by the media a few days ago, many people stood up to speak for him, but now it is George's turn, but no one is willing to help He speaks.It's not that George is popular, but to speak for him when the evidence is solid, and the impact on reputation needs to be considered.Although the United States is a free and democratic country, the public loves the drama of the prodigal son returning, but for those who have managed to accumulate a lot of fame, starting all over again is more uncomfortable than killing them.

George was under a lot of pressure, but at the same time he didn't dare to tell his father about it. If the old man flew over from India, even if the matter could be resolved, the days waiting for him would be more painful than hell.

It’s not just that George doesn’t want his father to know, John also doesn’t know. In his opinion, there is actually a turning point in this matter. As long as it can be proved that the safe was stolen and the money in the wallet was at the same time, at least it can help him reduce his charges. , It would be even better if the thief could be caught. Even if Lin Tao couldn't do anything, he could be cleared of his crimes.

George was temporarily detained at the police station, and Petrov's hair became even less. These two days, he was about to break his head, but he still couldn't find a better way. Judging from the available evidence, George was completely It is to falsely accuse Lin Tao, but Lin Tao has not filed a countersuit. If he does that, George will die a miserable death.

And the longer this case drags on, the more unfavorable it is to George. There is no evidence to prove his innocence, which is equivalent to indirectly proving his crime.At the same time, Paramount's stock was affected by this case, and it plummeted for two consecutive days, and its market value evaporated by more than one billion in an instant. Everyone from top to bottom hated George to death.

In fact, George is quite innocent, and he holds a lot of stocks, and he also has a share in the market value of Paramount evaporated. Compared with the survival in the safe, these losses are like watermelon and sesame seeds, which is completely incomparable. Compare.

In just a few days, George became haggard. His eye sockets were deeply sunken, his eyes were dull, and he stared straight at everything, unable to focus for a long time.

"George!" Petrov brought a fat old man in and called out softly. It took a long time for George to turn his gaze.

When he saw the old man, he stood up from the bed, lowered his head and whispered, "Kane, I'm sorry!"

Kane is the executive director of Paramount Pictures. He has a lot of voice among the shareholders and is responsible for some important positions in the company. It can be said that he is a powerful figure other than the chairman. He has a good relationship with Papa George. He also takes good care of George on weekdays.When something happened this time, Kane did not come to visit immediately, but investigated through his own relationship. When he learned that George had threatened Zhao Anhua with brazen words, he was so angry that he almost threw his favorite antique crystal cup Smashed it.

After he calmed down, he started to solve the matter. He first sent someone to contact Zhao Anhua, then offered to compensate Guo Yiling, and finally wanted to talk to Lin Tao. As you can imagine, all three aspects were frustrated.Zhao Anhua refused to meet with Paramount, and even directly rejected the directing of "Iron Man 4". This alone was enough to make Kane vomit blood.Guo Yiling is even more ruthless, saying that George must be punished as he should be, and at the same time, he is ready to sue him for indecent assault and sexual harassment. If this news gets out, it will be a big blow to George, and to Paramount is a disaster.The current stock has already fallen sharply. If the crime is added to the crime, I am afraid that all the shareholders will have to pay for it.

When it was Lin Tao's turn, the boy even said lightly, "Let George come and talk to me in person, and the others will not be seen", which completely dispelled Kane's idea of ​​reconciliation.George can't come out of the police station at all now, even if he is released on bail pending trial, it will take a long time, and it is obvious that Lin Tao just doesn't want to talk about it.

Kane was very depressed. He tried his best and still couldn't figure it out. In the end, he was able to come and see George.Kane still has some understanding of the Republic. He knows an old saying that "the person who untied the bell must tie the bell". Everything was caused by George. As long as he is willing to apologize and compensate, there should be nothing that cannot be resolved.

"George, do you know how big a mistake you have made?" Kane asked in the tone of an elder, expressing the heartache of a pair of juniors who went astray.

"I... I really didn't lie!" George wanted to cut open his chest to show them the truth, he really didn't lie!

"Now it's not a question of lying or not, but that Paramount has been under a lot of pressure. The stock price has fallen by more than 10% in the past two days. Someone must stand up to shoulder this responsibility!" Kane stared at George and said, "You should Understand a truth, if you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. Maybe you really didn’t lie, but the result is already like this, how do you think I can help you?”

George grabbed the iron railing hard, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. So far, he didn't think he was wrong, but Kane's words were indeed right. There is no real right or wrong. He caused Paramount to suffer. Huge loss, just doing something wrong.

"If you have the heart to remedy, then let it go, I support you." Kane took a deep look at George, thinking that he had understood what he meant.

"I...what should I do?"

George had to bow his head, and he could only hope that Paramount could reduce the losses as much as possible. However, he also had calculations in his mind. Dignity is lost.

"Apology, and compensation." Kane enlightened very patiently, "I know you still think that you are wronged, and the final result of the matter should not be like this. I also sympathize with you, but Paramount has not been sympathized Time. Warner Bros. and Fox have been eyeing them all the time, and they will take action if there is any trouble. Paramount is the foundation of our foothold. Without Paramount, what are we in Hollywood? Top Maybe he's just a rich man!"

George gritted his teeth fiercely, and said, "I understand, I'm going to apologize!" In the end, he almost gritted his teeth to make a sound.

This is a great shame. George has never been insulted like this since he was a child. He was blackmailed, but he couldn't find justice. On the contrary, he became a bad person, which is simply unreasonable!

"Very well, you have to go to Director Zhao's side in person, and you have to go to Guo's side, and Lin, he said, no one will be seen except you!"

George lowered his head. It was useless to say anything now. Stabilizing Paramount's stock was the serious business, so he said in a muffled voice, "When will you let me out?"

"As long as you are willing to apologize, you can leave anytime!"

"I want to go out now!" George has never been in this kind of place in his life. He has always been the only one who puts others here. He has already lived here for one night. The environment is terrible, so he still has a private room for him. , It's already very favorable, if it were someone else, it would have been thrown into the big environment, and that kind of place is even more difficult.

"Very good, I'll go through the formalities for you now." Kane turned and went out, and after a while, he came in with Petrov. "You can go out now!" he said.

Coming out of the cell, George immediately felt a burst of relief, and his depressed mood improved a lot.

He glanced at Petrov and asked, "Where's Uncle John?" Don't mention how resentful he is to John. Didn't he say he wanted to solve it himself? Why didn't he see anyone since he came in?

"He has an exchange event, and he went to England yesterday." Petrov replied, "John told me to deal with this matter well before he left. I'm sorry, but his ability is limited, and he can only do this." He said Shrugged, looking helpless.

George was so angry that the top of his head was smoking. Mao's communication activities, he didn't communicate sooner or later, but now he communicated. Obviously, he was avoiding the problem. Thanks to his father spending so much money every year to sponsor him, I hope he can become a Los Angeles policeman. The director of the bureau, now it seems that he really doesn't have the ability to take responsibility.

"Very good, very good!" George smiled reluctantly, and nodded fiercely, "Convey Uncle John for me, and hope he has a better time!"

"I will!" Petrov is not stupid. He has no need to speak up for John. He still holds grudges about being reprimanded a few days ago. He has no ability. What's the point of bullying him, a little sheriff.

Kane took George away from the police station and regained his freedom. Only then did George truly understand the true meaning of freedom, which he did not have before.

"Kane, thank you!" George knew that he came to protect himself because of Paramount, but he still thanked him from the bottom of his heart. After all, he was the only one willing to come forward, not others.

"Don't be so polite. I know what you think of me. In fact, I don't care. You have to understand that to live in this world, people must learn to be flexible. On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, that mysterious ancient oriental country lived thousands of years ago. There is such a saying that you can only understand the true meaning of this sentence if you understand the philosophy of it.”

George nodded and said: "I will try my best!" He took a deep breath, opened his arms vigorously, closed his eyes and raised his head, opened his eyes after a while and said, "Tomorrow I will apologize, and then I will prove it. It can stop the stock's decline!" At this moment, he became a lot more mature.
