"Okay, let's go quickly," Lin Yuner avoided his eyes, "Go and work hard."

What I did just now was a little impulsive.

Gu Heng laughed, "I said, are you sure? Do you want me to work seriously?"

It's enough to say it's just to disturb his thoughts, right?

"Come on, come on, don't talk anymore!" Lin Yuner kicked her with a very light force.

"good."

Gu Heng hugged her for the last time and turned to leave.

This time, there was no looking back.

Patting her still hot cheeks with cold palms, Lin Yoona let out a long breath.

Stretching out his hand, a few snowflakes fell on his palm and turned into ice water after a breath or two.

A bit cold, but so real.

Snowy weather makes roads slippery and traffic becomes congested.

Thirty minutes later, Gu Heng drove to Kakao Company.

Nan Zhuren is already waiting for him downstairs.

"Director Gu." He still used the old title.

"Let's go." Gu Heng patted his shoulder and said nothing more.

"Okay." Nan Zhuren looked solemn and led him towards the office area.

Along the way, many employees said hello to Gu Heng, all of whom they had worked with a few months ago.

Nan Zhuren took him outside an office.

The door is ajar.

Gu Heng didn't knock on the door, just pushed it open.

Lin Zhixun, who was behind the desk, raised his head and saw that it was him. He was obviously relieved and said, "You're here."

Gu Heng didn't answer, just came to the table opposite him and sat down.

Lin Zhixun moved his lips and whispered, "You already know everything."

"Yes," Gu Heng threw his phone on the table, "I also want to thank you for your timely report. Finally, I can see such interesting news at the same time as the majority of South Korean netizens. The dignified president of Kakao Company is still a gambler.

recidivist."

He shook his head and exclaimed, "It's really a great experience."

Just this morning, several newspapers published reports at the same time that Kakao founder and president Kim Beom-soo was suspected of participating in multiple gambling activities outside South Korea, which lasted for several years.

As a series of photos leaked, South Korean prosecutors have announced the launch of an investigation.

At this moment, this piece of news is firmly occupying the first place in Naver’s hot searches.

Lin Zhixun was dumbfounded for a long time, "What should I do?"

"It should be me, no, it should be Jing Sheng who asks you this question."

Gu Heng's tone was a little cold.

He knocked on the plastic armrest of the seat and looked directly at Lin Zhixun.

"You knew these things from the beginning, in March, didn't you?"

From the time when Jingsheng negotiated capital injection with Kakao, Gu Heng felt that Lin Zhixun's eager attitude was a bit strange.

Thinking about it now, I'm afraid Lin Zhixun was already helping Kim Beomsoo cover up the traces of these things.

Lin Zhixun exhaled and said dejectedly, "I'm sorry."

Gu Heng glanced at him and said nothing.

Participating in such activities outside South Korea may not seem serious, but it is not.

In South Korea's legal system, restrictions on such crimes transcend national boundaries.

When he was in the capital last time, Gu Heng teased Li Zhien and Pei Xiuzhi for not bringing flower cards, and Li Zhien also taught him the law in a serious manner.

According to South Korea's current criminal law, simple gambling will be punished by a fine of not more than 10 million won, while habitual gambling will be punished by a prison sentence of not more than 3 years or a fine of not more than 20 million won, depending on the seriousness of the case.

Clenching his fists, Gu Heng slowly adjusted his emotions.

He is still young and does not have the Qi-nurturing skills of Gu Changzhi, Liu Chen and others, so he can only use his reason to constantly remind himself

——Now that the matter has come to this, we can only try our best to stop the loss.

After a while, Gu Heng let go of his hand and looked at Lin Zhixun, "Where are they?"

"Southeast Asia, Philippines" Lin Zhixun hesitated and said a place name, "Do you want to persuade him to come back first?"

Kim Bum-soo is addicted to such activities, and he does know it.

This incident can even be traced back to 2007, when Kim Beom-soo was the global CEO of NHN.

Gu Heng shook his head, "It's meaningless, but passive. What do you think of the person behind it?"

His mood has returned to calm.

Without the people behind the scenes, this news would never have reached this level in such a short period of time.

"NAVER, Samsung." Lin Zhixun said these two words.

Gu Heng hummed, confirming his suspicion.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Heng said to Lin Zhixun, "Tell him to be prepared to make concessions."

"Concession? To Naver, Samsung?" Lin Zhixun twitched the corners of his lips and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid he would rather just go in and squat for two years."

Kim Bum Soo withdrew from NHN in the first place precisely because she failed to win over Naver's Lee Hae Jin.

After the launch of Kakao talk, Naver launched the software Line, which directly led to Kakao's failure in the Japanese market.

Although from an objective reality perspective, concessions seem inevitable.

But how can we let go of old and new grudges?

How can you give in?

"It's not Samsung," Gu Heng frowned and reminded, "Check the media who are still watching on the sidelines and the people behind them."

Lin Zhixun was startled, "You mean?"

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly started making calls.

He knew the many entangled interests on this peninsula better than Gu Heng, but sometimes it was harder to see clearly when he was in the middle of the situation.

While Lin Zhixun was in contact with the outside world, Gu Heng stood up.

When he came to the coffee table in the office, he made himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

What he needs to consider now is not how to help Kakao get through the current situation, but what actions Jingsheng should take in this crisis.

The interests of Kakao, or Kim Beom-soo, and Jingsheng are not always consistent.

After thinking about it, he put down his teacup and sent a message to Liu Chen.

On the other side, Lin Zhixun also ended his short-term external contact and came to him, "You are determined."

Seeing that Gu Heng didn't speak, he mumbled and lowered his head apologetically, "...I can't help you."

Gu Heng glanced at him and said concisely, "Only this time."

For Kim Beom-soo, he can calmly analyze the trade-offs between interests.

But he was a little disappointed with Lin Zhixun

Although he understood the dilemma of being caught in the middle, he actually kept such a surprise from himself for so long.

"Only this time." Lin Zhixun said solemnly.

Gu Heng thought for a while and said, "The company cannot be in chaos now. Let him send documents and temporarily transfer the management rights to you."

The news was fermenting to this point, and when he entered the company just now, he had already noticed the fluctuation of people's hearts within the company.

"Well, I know, I will also arrange some external public relations," Lin Zhixun nodded slightly, "As for the subsequent matters, I may have to ask you."

He sat next to Gu Heng and started discussing in a low voice.

Time flies by quietly.

By the time Gu Heng came out of Kakao Company, it was already dark outside.

Gu Heng took out his cell phone.

On Kakaotalk, there are several unread messages.

【yoona】: I just saw the news on the Internet. You are busy first. Don’t be distracted and reply to my message.
