The two-hour flight time was just a blink of an eye, and Lee Kyung-won returned to South Korea while emitting evil fire. When I arrived at Incheon Airport, it was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Instead of going home to sleep, Li Jingyuan stopped a taxi outside the airport and returned to K.w's company. At this time, every minute and second is crucial, and if the crisis public relations action is a little slower, then maybe you can see the news in the newspaper tomorrow morning being poked out.

When Lee Kyung-won arrived at the company, Lee so-young, the president, was already waiting here. After receiving a call from Li Jingyuan before he got on the plane, he didn't go home from work as usual.

"Jing Yuan, take a look, this is the information sent from above." When he arrived at the president's office, Lee Kyung-won didn't even have time to take a sip of water before he received a bunch of information taken out by Lee so Young.

Although he does not often use his political connections, this does not mean that Li Jingyuan's influence on politics will be weakened. After all, he is still the young patriarch of the Li family, and with this identity alone, those politicians who are looking forward to climbing the high branches will inevitably surround him and scold him.

Ventilation and reporting, this is the easiest way to tie the knot. The document in front of me was sent by an official of the Ministry of Taxation.

The information on the information is very sufficient, including not only the investigation of Jiang Hudong, but also the investigation materials of several other artists. Among these artists, some belong to K.w, and some belong to another agency.

If there is only Jiang Hudong's information, maybe Li Jingyuan will be misunderstood. I think it's some strength playing some tricks of 'shooting people and shooting horses first' against their own companies. Now, with the investigation data of several other artists, this misunderstanding can be ruled out.

It's not against Jiang Hudong or K.w. It is a large-scale survey of the artist group.

"Phew, it turned out that it was really just a large-scale sweep, and now I'm much more relieved." After seeing a few familiar or unfamiliar names, Li Jingyuan's worries were put down and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Jingyuan's words just now are easy to cause ambiguity, if people who don't know the situation listen to it, they may really think that his company has done something hurtful.

No one who knows a little bit about Li Jingyuan will think so.

Those who are familiar with him know his character. Although he is not as good as Liu Zaishi and is praised by everyone, he will definitely not be a bad guy who has a set of things on the surface and a set behind the scenes. As the only traverser in the world, Li Jingyuan naturally has a pride that others can't understand. Moreover, he now has such a big industry, and he is already an upper-class figure in society, and the pride of the strong also makes him disdain to use those inferior methods.

Even if he is not very familiar with Li Jingyuan himself. Just watched some of his information from TV. It's enough to keep people from mistaking him. On the TV screen, Li Jingyuan has always appeared as a healthy person. is keen on charity, has won many honors in sports competitions, and has strong economic strength, after knowing this information, as long as he thinks about it a little, he will not think that Li Jingyuan will give up his honor to do those things that cannot be put on the table.

Then again, since he hasn't done anything bad, why would Li Jingyuan show such a 'relieved' appearance?

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than being afraid of trouble.

Li Jingyuan's identity and capital determine that he will have a very high status in the eyes of politicians. But there are no absolutes. There are still some people who don't like him. Maybe it's backed by other chaebols, or maybe it's just the other faction. Even if these people don't stumble on Li Jingyuan, they will definitely not stick up to support him.

Moreover, this large-scale tax investigation was not simply initiated by a single person, but an official investigation by the South Korean Ministry of Taxation.

In terms of the general direction, no matter how much energy he has, Li Jingyuan does not want to confront the state, and judging from the details, not everyone in the Ministry of Taxation will sell Li Jingyuan's face. Hard grinding and soft foam are not suitable, and of course things are not so easy to solve.

Of course, what we are talking about above is what happened after the matter was poked out and the masses had already received the news. Now, the matter has not been reported, and it will be much easier to solve. It was precisely because he thought of the difficulty gap between the two situations that Li Jingyuan was greatly relieved.

It's just that it's easier to solve, not that there is no threat. What needs to be done must be done, otherwise small things will still become big things.

After reading the information, Li Jingyuan pondered for a while, and then took out his mobile phone directly. Regardless of the fact that it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, so he directly dialed Jiang Hudong's phone number.

"Hmm......, who~~." It was too late, and after waiting for a while, Jiang Hudong's vague voice with some anger came out of the phone.

"Brother Hudong, it's me, Jing Yuan." If it was usual, Li Jingyuan might have laughed a few words, but today the situation was different, he didn't laugh as usual, but shouted a few times in a very serious tone, and after Jiang Hudong was a little sober, he then asked: "Brother, where are you now?" ”

"Well, I'm in Gangwon-do, and I'm sleeping in a tent right now." After a pause, Jiang Hudong continued: "My children and I are now filming, "Two Days and One Night". ”

If Jiang Hudong was at home, then Li Jingyuan would definitely let him come to the company immediately without saying a word, but now he is working in the field with the "Two Days and One Night" program team, which is not suitable for him to come back immediately.

"Brother, when the filming is over tomorrow, you come directly to the company, I have something to tell you. Remember, be sure to come back as soon as possible. ”

Perhaps hearing the solemnity in Li Jingyuan's words, Jiang Hudong also felt that something was wrong, and his spirit was a little more sober: "Jingyuan, what happened, is the situation very serious?" ”

"Brother, it's not clear on the phone, let's talk about it in person, remember to come back as soon as possible tomorrow, I'll wait for you in the company."

Actually, it's not really unclear. Li Jingyuan has already seen the information and has a comprehensive understanding of the information in his hands, how can he not be able to say it clearly with his verbal skills.

The reason why I don't say it now. He also thought about Jiang Hudong. First, it is because it is too time-consuming to say, and it is bound to delay Jiang Hudong's sleep, and it doesn't matter if Li Jingyuan doesn't sleep, but if Jiang Hudong stays up late, then his state after getting up tomorrow morning will definitely be affected, resulting in the filming of "Two Days and One Night" not going smoothly.

Besides, even now. Jiang Hudong couldn't give up filming and rushed back directly.

Rather than letting Jiang Hudong know the news and be in a hurry, it is better to hide the news for another half a day and wait for him to come back.

A few more words. agreed to meet at the company the next day, and Li Jingyuan hung up the phone.

The matter is related to Jiang Hudong, and no matter how it is resolved, we must listen to his own opinion. Other words. In the period before he returned, Lee Kyung-won and Lee so-young could not start acting immediately. Of course, it is also a reason that it is too late now, and at this point in time, even if Lee Kyung-won and Lee so-young have any ideas, they may not be able to implement them perfectly.

The morning mission of "Two Days and One Night" usually starts at eight or nine o'clock, and the end of filming will be delayed by about an hour. Kang Ho-dong is now in Gangwon-do, and it will take one to two hours to get back to Seoul. Other words. From now on, until Jiang Hudong rushes back. There are probably at least ten hours or so in between.

It is impossible for Lee Kyung-won and Lee so-young to just stay in the office and wait for ten hours. has already been in contact with Jiang Hudong, and Li Jingyuan's mood relaxed again.

"Uncle Su Ying, are you going to go straight to rest, or do you want to have some supper first?" Feeling a little hungry, Li Jingyuan rubbed his stomach and asked Li Suying, who was sitting on the side.

"I'd better go straight to bed, eating in the middle of the night isn't a good thing for an old man like me. Hehe, if you're hungry, go to the cafeteria and find something to eat. Smiling and shaking his hand, Lee so-young stood up and walked straight to the other room in his office suite.

Since I went to eat and sleep, I won't mention the process in between. As a wholly-owned shareholder of K.w Company, Li Jingyuan naturally has his own lounge in the company's building, and there is no need for him to leave the company and go home, just sleep here and wait for Jiang Hudong to come back and meet.

As the night passed and it was daytime, the employees came to the company one after another to start their day's work, and the building gradually became lively again.

slept for eight hours, and when Li Jingyuan woke up, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the morning. looked at the time and felt that Jiang Hudong was almost coming back, and Li Jingyuan, who had finished washing, dialed his phone again.

As he expected, Jiang Hudong had indeed completed filming at this time, and was now sitting in the nanny car to the company, and there would be at most a quarter of an hour to get to the company.

The agreed meeting place was in the president's office, thinking that Jiang Hudong was about to arrive, Li Jingyuan stopped rubbing, and after tidying up his clothes, he came to Lee so Young's office again.

is not a hands-off shopkeeper like Li Jingyuan, Li Suying, as the actual manager of the company, of course, can't sleep until he wakes up naturally like Li Jingyuan. As early as a few hours ago, he got up and started work, perhaps because of lack of sleep, or maybe because he was old and lacked energy, when Li Jingyuan came to his office, he was in front of him with a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Still no, drinking coffee on an empty stomach is not a good habit." Shaking his head with a smile, Li Jingyuan only poured himself a glass of water, and then sat on the sofa and chatted with Li Suying without saying a word.

Chatting and chatting, ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

After Lee so young answered, the office door was pushed open, and then Lee Kyung-won saw Jiang Hudong's trademark big round face.

"Hello, President." Although in fact, Li Jingyuan's identity is higher, but because the relationship in private is too familiar, Jiang Hudong did not regard Li Jingyuan as a superior person, and after entering the room, he did not greet Li Jingyuan first, but greeted Li Suying first.

"Brother, you're here, hurry up and sit down." Lee so Young answered, and when he stood up, Lee Kyung Won had already greeted him on the side.

"Jing Yuan. What was the reason you called me so late last night? "Just say hello, as a big-name artist like Jiang Hudong. Of course, he would not be as restrained as the newcomers, so he naturally sat next to him according to Li Jingyuan's words, and pointed to the key point and asked him.

"Let's take a look at this information first." Without saying much, Li Jingyuan first sent the information he got yesterday to Jiang Hudong, and asked him to take a good look at it first.

opened the information bag and saw the words 'tax investigation' on the first page, Jiang Hudong's originally somewhat rash expression immediately became solemn.

Jiang Hudong didn't know what Lu Dao's own brokerage team had done. So the look on his face wasn't the 'bad' look he had after the lie had been exposed. is just simple and dignified, no matter how ignorant Jiang Hudong is, he will not be unaware of the importance of the word 'tax'.

"Is this a tax investigation against me?" Outside of dignified. Jiang Hudong's face was still a little dissatisfied, and he was also a little misunderstood, thinking that this investigation information was taken out by K.w Company, and felt that it was the company's distrust and disrespect for him.

"Brother. Don't stare at me. This information was not made by the company, but sent by Uncle Su Ying from a friend in the Ministry of State Taxation. As soon as he saw Jiang Hudong's expression, Li Jingyuan knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained with a smile.

Ministry of Taxation, as soon as these words came out, the expression on Jiang Hudong's face changed drastically. The reason is simple, if it's just an internal company's investigation, no matter what the outcome is. It's not a big deal, but if it's the information made by the Ministry of Taxation. Then the matter is definitely not trivial, at least it is big news at the social level.

Knowing the key, Jiang Hudong didn't say anything more, pressed all his thoughts and looked at the information in his hand very seriously.

"These bastards~, these bastards~!" The more he watched, the more angry he became, and after reaching the worst, Jiang Hudong finally couldn't help but erupt, scolding angrily while slamming the information on the table.

"Brother, you put out the fire first. Scolding alone won't solve the problem, and the most important thing now is to solve it quickly before it is poked out. Handed Jiang Hudong a glass of water, Li Jingyuan persuaded him for a while, which made Jiang Hudong's anger gradually drop a little.

Although he was still very angry, Jiang Hudong also knew that Li Jingyuan's words were right. Finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and after he had calmed out his breath, he asked Li Jingyuan: "Jingyuan, you give my brother an idea, what should I do now?" Is it going to take those bastards to court? ”

Some people may say that Jiang Hudong is so old and has a lot of life experience, so doesn't he have any ideas himself, how could he ask Li Jingyuan for advice at the first time.

In fact, Jiang Hudong is not surprised at all to do this. Although he has a lot of life experience, Jiang Hudong is still just an artist in the end, and he usually doesn't often come into contact with this kind of incident, and after encountering this kind of thing, panic is inevitable.

In contrast, although Li Jingyuan is a lot younger, his status can touch a lot more things than Jiang Hudong, and he feels that Li Jingyuan's ability is greater, so it is not strange that Jiang Hudong asked Li Jingyuan for advice.

What's more, when Li Jingyuan did not leave "Two Days and One Night", he was positioned as a 'smart person' in the show, and Jiang Hudong did not actually realize how smart Li Jingyuan was once or twice. Just like ordinary people, when you encounter trouble, it's normal to ask a smart person for their opinion.

"Brother, don't worry, I already thought about it last night." appeased Jiang Hudong, and after he calmed down, Li Jingyuan continued: "I have already thought of a solution, you listen to me and tell you slowly." ”

"First of all, to make up for the underpaid taxes, this matter must be done as soon as possible. If you can't figure it out for a while, then simply pay a little more, and it doesn't matter if it exceeds the amount you should have paid. The most important thing is to get things done before the tax department makes the announcement. ”

Historically, the Ministry of Revenue announced the news in May. It's already the end of March, and there is still a month before the Ministry of Taxation announces the news, and I have to say that this time is very ambiguous.

If the tax department has not made a decision, Jiang Hudong has already made up the tax in advance, and things will look much better.

It can be understood this way. Jiang Hudong did not evade taxes, but the time to pay taxes was a little late. He is such a big name and has participated in so many shows, the income and expenditure situation will definitely be very complicated, and it must take more time to calculate, and it is normal to be a little later.

Or, let out some rumors, saying that 'Jiang Hudong found something wrong when he checked his income and expenditure, so he took the initiative to pay the tax', so that the masses who saw the news would have the idea that 'Jiang Hudong didn't even find out about it, Jiang Hudong actually took the initiative to stand up', then Jiang Hudong's image will become better.

On the contrary, if the Ministry of Taxation has already made a decision, but it has not yet had time to announce it, then Jiang Hudong took the initiative to pay taxes at this time, at best, it is a 'frank and lenient' treatment, and it is absolutely impossible to take the opportunity to get so many benefits.

Of course, it doesn't matter if there are benefits or not, the key is that there are no 'disadvantages', that is, no matter what kind of perspective you think about, it is essential to pay taxes as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
