Chapter 1039 This is not over yet
It takes a lot of effort to be able to sit in the position of Director Wu.
Seeing several leaders coming in person for this matter, he was also under a lot of pressure.
I had to withdraw immediately. It felt really bad to be used as a tool by others.
It was obvious that this matter had nothing to do with him, but in the end all the bad reputation fell on him.
Not only did he lose the sponsorship from the car factory, but he also offended Chen Changan.
He really couldn't imagine that a mere filmmaker in Hong Kong would alarm the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
You have to know that at that time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was known as the largest ministry, and ordinary people could not alarm them.
Director Wu has no choice but to admit his mistake.
When the few people saw that Director Wu had admitted his mistake, their expressions softened a lot.
Director Wu's status is not low. He was able to save face and agree to compensation. In their view, this matter ends here.
Xiujuan didn't care. She did have some status in Hong Kong Island, but there were still some differences between the two sides.
A person in the entertainment industry has people praising him in Hong Kong Island, and even the governor has to be polite to him.
But in Beijing, she is really nothing, and she doesn't care about the money at all.
Being able to make a scene here and force Director Wu to give in, she no longer had any resentment in her heart. As long as she could help Chen Changan, she would be willing to do so.
Chen Changan also knew that one should not offend someone to death. Even if one considered the other person an enemy in his heart, he should not show it too obviously on his face.
“I want to ask the two comrades who brought my sister here, why are they handcuffed?
Do you know how serious the impact this will have on my sister's reputation?
She is a director and a public figure. Her new movie has not yet been released.
If such a scandal were reported at this time, would it affect the box office results?
The compensation package alone is not enough, these two comrades need to apologize to my sister on the spot.
Director Wu, you also have to represent your unit and publicly clarify the matter of my sister in the newspaper.
Although she is my sister, she is also a Hong Kong businessman. How many foreign businessmen will be discouraged by your treatment of her?
If this matter gets out of hand, the Ministry of Commerce might also...”
"Director Chen, Director Chen, stop talking. I promise, isn't that enough?"
Director Wu was scared. What Chen Changan said was right.
Chen Xiujuan is a shareholder of Hong Kong Island Entertainment Company, and can be considered a Hong Kong Island businessman.
If Chen Xiujuan doesn't feel comfortable and goes back to Hong Kong to publicize the business, who would dare to invest in Hong Kong?
If the country vigorously develops its economy, the Ministry of Commerce is also a department that he cannot afford to offend.
If things really get out of hand, he might lose his position.
“You two come here, what did I tell you?
We invited Ms. Chen Xiujuan, but how did you do it?
Being rude and not paying attention to your influence, is this how I teach you?"
The two men looked unhappy. Facing Director Wu's reprimand, they just lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word.
"Hurry up and apologize to Ms. Chen Xiujuan. Be sincere. If you don't get Ms. Chen Xiujuan's forgiveness, you two won't have to come to work anymore."
"Ms. Chen, I'm sorry."
"Ms. Chen, I'm sorry."
Xiujuan did not feel wronged. Although she was handcuffed, she was quickly uncuffed. No one beat her during the whole process, except for yelling at her during the interrogation.
She didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Changan. No matter what, the other party apologized to her, and she wanted to accept the apology on the spot.
Chen Changan on the side touched her gently. Xiujuan, who was about to speak, shut her mouth on the spot, and then heard Chen Changan speak.
"Director Wu, I'm not trying to find fault. You should take care of your own sister.
I have always been focused on filming movies and have never thought of harming anyone.
In this city, no one can help him except me, the big brother.
Look at your apology. It's neither sincere nor does it show any apologetic attitude. You just lower your head and say sorry and that's it?
I think this shows that he has not recognized his mistakes at all.
I just did it perfunctorily because of your request.
If you don't recognize your mistakes, you will probably make the same mistake again next time.
Our purpose is to serve the people. This time it was my sister and I, as the eldest brother, who helped him.
I can’t imagine what will happen if no one stands up for the common people next time.”
Director Wu really wanted to shut Chen Changan's mouth now. He was too talkative.
Sometimes it's about the Ministry of Commerce, sometimes it's about serving the people, and now it's about the insincere apology.
Director Wu, who was full of anger, could only vent it on his two subordinates.
"Haven't you eaten yet? Can you be more sincere and show the same vigour you showed when handcuffing people?"
"Ms. Chen, I sincerely apologize to you. We misunderstood the orders from our superiors.
We were somewhat rash in our actions, and we sincerely apologize and promise that such things will never happen again. We hope you can forgive us this time."
This time, Chen Changan did not move at all. Xiujuan nodded, accepting his apology.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhou from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs breathed a sigh of relief.
You have to know that just now people in Hong Kong were asking about Xiujuan's arrest.
If this matter is not handled properly, it is likely to become a diplomatic incident.
Their Ministry of Foreign Affairs is extremely busy every day, yet Director Wu still has to find trouble for them.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, he spoke.
"Okay, I think we'll just leave it at that. Director Wu, don't feel wronged.
No matter what, you were the ones who started this trouble.
Why arrest people for no reason? You brought this situation upon yourself."
Then he turned around and said to Chen Changan.
"Xiujuan has indeed suffered some injustice, but you have both the inside and the outside, so that's enough.
Ultimately, this matter is an internal issue within your department. Director Wu interfered casually and has received the punishment he deserves.
There is a high probability that his superiors will give him an internal punishment for this incident.
I think we should just let this matter go, what do you think?"
"Okay, since Leader Zhou has said so, I will naturally not pursue the matter further.
You also said that this is an internal matter of our department. If someone interferes again next time, I won’t be so easy to deal with.
Even if it's a powerful department, we still have to confront our superiors."
"You, I really don't know what to say to you. But you should take it easy. Some old comrades don't have any other abilities, but they have been leaders for a long time and have many friends.
But after what happened today, I guess no one will dare to interfere in your department's affairs anymore."
After saying that, he moved closer to Chen Changan and whispered.
"Give me some face and let's leave it at that. Director Wu has quite a strong background, so there's no need to fight him to the death."
