"Madam, please sit here."
After being brought into the editor-in-chief's office, the lady at the front desk who had a stinky face was very attentive, serving tea and water all the time. Since the editor-in-chief she was talking about was still in a meeting, the old lady It may take a while longer to wait in the office.
"Well, I'm sorry, Ma'am..."
At this moment, all the attention of the lady at the front desk has been placed on the shiny golden business card tightly held by the old woman, and the address on her mouth has changed from the original "Ms." The "Madame".
"I would like to ask you, the business card of Mrs. Lu of the Lu Group can be said to be the most difficult business card to obtain in this circle. Generally, if you are not a high-ranking official or someone with a certain status and rights, you may not be able to get it. Ah, what is your identity that you can actually get her business card? Can you tell me about it?"
The old lady originally wanted to refuse, but looking at the expectant gaze of the front desk lady in front of her, the old lady still thought about it, and finally answered.
"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just a nanny by her side. After staying for a long time, I naturally have to help her take on some work to deal with strangers. Over time, she gave me some business cards in case of emergencies..."
Speaking of this, the expression on the front desk lady's face obviously showed some contempt and suspicion, and she couldn't help but took a few steps back. The body that was originally about to lean closer was deliberately pulled away because of what the old lady said just now. After increasing the distance between each other, the atmosphere suddenly became a little dignified.
"Sorry, I'm late..."
Just as the two people in the office looked at each other in embarrassment, the door was suddenly opened, and a figure flashed into the room quickly.
"Editor, you're here."
"Well, I heard that there is a distinguished guest who wants to see me?"
Following the sound, he looked in the direction of the door, and sure enough, the face that appeared in front of him was exactly the same as the one in the photo on the front wall.
"Editor-in-Chief, this is him..."
The front desk lady hurriedly handed the teacup that was already ready to be delivered to the old lady, and handed it directly to the editor-in-chief's desk. She didn't even have time to lift her hand, so she glanced in the direction of the old lady from the corner of her eye.Immediately afterwards, he whispered a few words in front of the old lady before walking out of the office.
"I don't know why you came to see me?"
After the front desk lady left, the editor-in-chief sitting directly opposite the old woman kept looking at her watch, as if implying that the old woman had something to say quickly, and her time was very precious.
"Oh, it's really not a big deal, I just want to talk to you about some families of the Lu Group four years ago."
The old woman smiled slightly, straightened her body forward a little, and sat down.
"Family affairs of the Lu Group?"
Hearing this, the editor-in-chief had a puzzled expression on his face.
"It's like this. I have never been very interested in the family affairs of the Lu Corporation. Our newspaper has not reported any relevant information about the Lu Corporation for many years. In addition, if you really have anything particularly valuable If the news wants to tell us, we have reporters who are responsible for reception, and you can talk to them directly.”
The implication is that the editor-in-chief has made it very clear that his time is obviously very precious, and it is not worth wasting it here for a nanny. Even with a business card alone, there is no way to judge what she can provide. Whether the information is valuable or even true, so there is no need for him to waste time for her.
"Chief editor Qian Haoming..."
Just when Qian Haoming was about to get up and leave, the old woman was still sitting there, not in a hurry, nor did she seem to want to leave in the slightest, and in a gentle tone, she slowly called out his name.
"I heard that you are recently selecting the title of the best editor-in-chief in City B. Is everything going well?"
What the old woman said made Qian Haoming put down the folder in his hand, turned around stiffly, and looked at the old woman with an incredulous expression.
"How did you know?"
After all, only a few insiders in the news circle knew about the selection. He hadn't told the company or even his family members yet, but the old woman in front of him was fully aware of it, which showed that she was very well-informed.
"The gift for the mayor of City B, I believe it should be sent to the place. I will give you a small suggestion. Our mayor has received benefits from our Crown Group several times. You simply send it over. 50, be careful not to feed his appetite..."
Just lightly and superficially, Qian Haoming couldn't help it anymore, and his whole body couldn't help shaking.It is true that I gave a gift, such a private matter, even if it is known to everyone, it is not something that everyone knows, let alone the old woman in front of me, who can report the specific amount Clearly, it can be seen that her background is indeed not small.
"Who are you! What do you want to do!"
At this moment, Qian Haoming in front of him was already in a very awkward and passive situation, with frowning raised, he lowered his voice and asked eagerly.
"It's nothing, editor-in-chief, don't be too nervous, I'm not here to mess with you, after all, a little best editor-in-chief is just a cornerstone on your way to the top, that's all, you got it Fortunately, it’s okay to lose it, but what I want to know is that it can deeply affect your current position, and even your permanent career in the future..."
"Straight to the point, don't go around in circles, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"It's very simple. I want to ask you. Four years ago, you stared at Lu Qihao, the heir of the Lu Group at the time, several times, and wrote many reports on him. I want to ask you, what was your intention at that time? Or was it , you didn't intend to do that, but you were instructed by someone?"
The old woman's words, but every word, deeply hurt Qian Haoming's heart. He never thought that after so many years, such a person would come to settle the old score with him.
"No, I just happened to catch up with the news about Young Master Lu several times. After that period of time, I never wrote about him again."
The second half of Qian Haoming's words may be believable, but the first half is pure nonsense.
"That's right, Editor Qian."
Having said that, the old woman slowly got up and straightened her clothes.
"You don't need to rush to answer my question now, because you have to think clearly that behind every piece of news, there is a piece of truth that cannot be covered up with just a few words. Since I have the ability Knowing the deal between you and the mayor, then you have to believe that I have the ability to bring down a small editor-in-chief. After all, the power of the Crown Group should not be underestimated. I will give you some time and you can think again , I will come to you later, I believe, you should be able to remember some things again, well, I will take a step first, there is no need to send it off."
There was hardly any pause, the old lady finished the whole sentence in one go, and then slowly walked out from the door of the editor-in-chief's office, leaving Qian Haoming standing alone in the office in a daze, for a long time , he finally regained his composure and dialed a series of familiar numbers.
Lu Qihao sat in the car alone for a long time, so long that he didn't even remember how long it was, just sitting there like that, his mind was full of Qiu Youting holding Sun Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, and then shallow Kissing lightly on her forehead.That picture kept lingering in his mind over and over again, until the phone at hand started vibrating non-stop, it was a call from Uncle Zhang.
"Hey……"
Lu Qihao's voice sounded weak to Zhang Bo on the other end of the phone, like a walking corpse.
"Master, where are you?"
"what's up?"
Lu Qihao didn't answer his question directly, but his tone was full of impatience.
"Master, come back quickly! I have something very important to tell you!"
"Don't say anything to me yet, now you hurry up and continue to track the car just now, I want to track it again!"
Zhang Bo's words seemed to wake up Lu Qihao who was stupefied and frozen in an instant. It was more like waking up someone in a dream. Lu Qihao suddenly realized that he should catch up, even if Qiu Youting was by his side, the most impossible person in the world... The situation, he had to prove it himself.
"No, master! Now is not the time to chase that car! You should hurry back to the company, I really have something very important to tell you!"
"Uncle Zhang! Don't you even listen to my orders?"
Hearing this, Lu Qihao was an unknown fire, and it shot into his heart in an instant, and his reason was finally shattered by emotion, completely bursting the dike.
"I saw Xiao Xiao just now! That girl who looks exactly like Xiao Xiao! She is with Qiu Youting! Who the hell is she? Is she my Xiaoxiao! Why is she with Qiu Youting! I Ask her clearly! I must ask her clearly!"
At this moment, Lu Qihao was like a wounded lion. He just wanted to charge forward with his head covered, but he didn't care about what was in front of him.
"Master! Calm down! Calm down! That's not Miss Sun Xiaoxiao!"
"No! No! No!"
However, at this moment, Lu Qihao couldn't understand a word of Zhang Bo's words.
"Master! Master! The police station called just now! It is said that there is a new progress in the case of Miss Sun Xiaoxiao falling off the cliff!"
