Xie qingying looked at her watch. It was almost time for lunch. She smiled and nodded. “There’s no need for afternoon tea. I’m just about to go for lunch. How about we have a lunch date?”
Gu Nianzhi quickly agreed. “Then where are we going to eat?”
“Where are you now?”Xie qingying tidied up her desk, picked up her small bag, and said a few words to her secretary at the door. She then walked out of her office.
Gu nianzhi said, “I have nothing to do right now, so I have more freedom. I picked a hotel near you, the Xiangdao Hotel. I heard that the lunches and working meals there are good, suitable for a media upstart like you.”
Xie qingying walked towards the elevator, her high heels clicking in the corridor. “Cousin Nianzhi, you’re such a sweet talker. Upstarts can’t afford it, but this place is where I often go. The lunches there are very good.”
She immediately nodded in agreement. “I’ll be there in five minutes.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled. “You don’t have to be so early. I might be a little late, about 15 minutes.”
“Okay then, I’ll go reserve a seat and order. That place is very popular at noon.”As Xie Qingying spoke, she called the waiter she was familiar with and booked two seats.
When she went down from the eighteenth floor, there were two men in suits in the elevator.
Xie qingying did not mind. She looked down at her phone and said to Gu nianzhi, “I only have one hour for lunch at noon. Is that enough?”
She knew very well that Gu Nianzhi did not visit her for no reason. There must be something she wanted to talk to her about today.
Gu Nianzhi felt that it was enough. If they could reach an agreement, ten minutes would be enough.
If they couldn’t reach an agreement, it would be useless to drag Xie qingying around 24 hours a day.
She nodded and said, “Okay, no problem.”
Gu Nianzhi took the car keys and packed her things before leaving. She sent a text to Lu Yuan and Lu Jin, saying that she had an appointment with Xie qingying and wanted to go out for dinner with her.
Lu Yuan and Lu Jin looked at each other and smiled.
This little girl, and she said that she wasn’t a foodie!
Lu Jin turned on another display screen.
A detailed map of the imperial capital appeared on the display screen.
A pin-like red dot appeared on the display screen. On the Red Dot was Gu Nianzhi’s cute and lovely portrait.
Lu Jin looked at the portrait and smiled in satisfaction.
Lu Yuan’s lips twitched. “This is the imperial capital. You Don’t have to be so nervous. Even if we don’t do anything, why do you think Young Master is a vegetarian?”
Lu Jin thought for a moment. “He is him, and I am me. I Can’t place all my hopes of protecting my daughter on someone else.”
Lu Yuan glared at him.”… then don’t look for me when you need me.”
Lu Jin said without hesitation, “You’re not someone else. Nianzhi didn’t call you ‘uncle’for nothing.”
It was rare for Lu Yuan not to retort. Instead, he curled his lips into a warm and serious smile.
..
Gu Nianzhi picked up her car from the underground parking lot. She stepped on the gas pedal and quickly exited the apartment complex, heading towards the agreed-upon Xiangdao Hotel.
It was noon, and there were not many cars on the road.
She was lucky. The traffic lights were green all the way, and she quickly arrived at the front desk of the Xiangdao Hotel.
Gu Nianzhi said she was looking for a reservation for “Miss Xie,”and the front desk waiter quickly led her to Xie Qingying’s small table.
The Xiangdao Hotel was indeed very popular, especially for lunch. It was basically full.
Xie qingying seemed to have a very good relationship with this hotel, which was why she was able to book two excellent seats in such a short time.
In the corner of the hall, there was a whole glass window, but the surrounding rooms were made of small and elegant bamboo screen railings, which allowed for relative privacy.
Xie qingying smiled and waved at Gu Nianzhi when she saw her. “This way.”
Gu Nianzhi waved as well and walked over quickly. “Have you been waiting long, cousin Xie?”
“I’m fine.”Xie qingying smiled as she handed her the menu, “The Luohanzhai here is very famous. There are shiitake mushrooms from the northeast, Agaric fungus from Inner Mongolia, Dutch beans from Thailand, and celery from the Mediterranean. The ingredients are especially fresh, and they are flown in every day, so the supply is very small. “I’ve decided to order one for you. What else do you want to order?”
Gu Nianzhi heard Xie qingying’s words and was like a foodie. She smiled at her suggestion and said, “The Luohanzhai is fine. I just had brunch, so I’m not that hungry.”
Xie qingying replied, “OH.””You can take a good rest now.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded.
Soon, the Luohanzhai was ready and served.
Gu nianzhi only took one bite and knew that her trip had not been in vain.
The Luohanzhai was a vegetarian dish, but it was exceptionally delicious. It probably had something to do with the hotel’s careful selection of ingredients.
Gu Nianzhi finished half of the plate of Luohanzhai and took another sip of water. She put down her chopsticks and went straight to the point, she said, “Cousin Xie, I came to see you today to ask you about the relationship between the Lu Corporation and the Qin corporation’s private hospital group. Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with this information?”
Xie qingying smiled. “How could there be nothing wrong? Is there any pure and flawless information in this world?”
She took a tissue from the dining table and sipped on it. She took a sip of her grape juice and said, “Nianzhi, you’re a barrister. Don’t you think you’re asking a very unprofessional question?”
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. “I’m not in new media. My professional isn’t here.”
“Okay, I was wrong.”Xie qingying held her grape juice like she was holding a glass of red wine. She sat elegantly in her seat, and the midday sun shone in through the window, she could see the shadow of her straight nose on her cheek.
Her nose was very similar to Gu Nianzhi’s.
They were both from the Gu family.
Gu Nianzhi shrugged nonchalantly and continued to ask, “You knew there was a problem, but you still exposed it. What do you mean by that?”
Xie qingying put down the grape juice and placed her hands on the small dining table. She looked at Gu Nianzhi and said slowly, “First, there’s nothing wrong with the information this person revealed. What’s wrong is his motive.”
“Second, as members of the new media industry, it’s our foundation to grasp the hot topics of the news. Do you think I would let such news go?”
“But you knew there was something wrong with his motive, and you still released his information? !”Gu Nianzhi was even more confused. “Aren’t you worried that young master he and general he would be unhappy?”
Xie qingying raised her eyebrows. “The two parties involved in this information are the Qin private hospital group and the Lu Group.”
“As a listed company, the Qin Private Hospital Group is an independent economic legal entity. It is different from Qin Baye, who is a major shareholder, and Qin Yaoguang, who was once the president of the group.”
“And the Lu Group has nothing to do with the He family.”
“Besides, young master he and general he are not people who don’t distinguish between public and private matters. The ones who have a problem with them are Qin Baye and Qin yaoguang, not the Qin Private Hospital Group.”
“So why are they unhappy about this news?”
Gu Nianzhi smiled bitterly in her heart.
Of course she knew, that was why she kept harping on the fact that the Lu group was a big client of hers.
Xie qingying did not let her off the hook and continued to ask, “Nianzhi, I really don’t understand. You’re so concerned about the Lu group, is it really because the LU group is a major shareholder of your law firm?”
“… but this news will divert the current hot news and make everyone sympathize with the Qin private hospital.”Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to explain, “It’s not that you don’t know why I worked so hard to fight for Qin Suwen, right?”
Xie qingying said lightly, “Even without this news, how long do you think the previous hot news will last?”? — people’s memories are always short-lived. The Internet Society itself is made up of wave after wave of hot topics. “Even if I don’t expose it, others will. You Don’t think that I can cover the sky with one hand, do you?”
Was it easy for her new media company to develop from nothing to its current size?
Many times, it was also walking a tightrope, striving for the truth of the report. It also needed to have an extremely fast time limit and also be able to attract people’s attention.
If she did not expose the information that the other party had given her, someone else would naturally take over. At that time, she would be watching the rapid development of other people’s companies. Would she be willing to be crushed by others?
“Yes, the Hot Topic will eventually pass. I don’t expect the popularity of the public trial to continue.”Gu Nianzhi tried her best to convince Xie qingying, “But I didn’t expect that you would be the first person to step forward and shift the Hot Topic.”
“Yes, the Lu Corporation has nothing to do with the He family, but what about the Qin private hospital?”
“There’s nothing wrong with the Qin private hospital group itself. It has the status of an independent economic legal entity, but it’s the backing of Qin Yaoguang and Qin Baye. Do you really think that human feelings and likes and dislikes can be as separate from public and private as robots?”
Gu Nianzhi almost said that he chengjian would not “Separate public and private”any questions related to he zhichu and Qin Suwen..
Xie qingying naturally didn’t know the he father and son as well as Gu Nianzhi did.
She understood gu Nianzhi’s hidden meaning and was silent for a moment, she said, “I understand what you mean, but this is my job. “I didn’t mean to change the topic. I just grabbed a new topic when I saw it. “To me, this is already my professional instinct.”
She raised her head and looked at Gu Nianzhi, xie qingying continued, “Just like how you can catch any loopholes in the other party in court, I’m naturally good at catching hot spots in my own field. “Even if this hot spot might have some negative effects on me, to me, catching it first is more important than anything else
“As for the consequences in the future, that is something to consider in the future.”
Just like this time, the hot topic that she caught was the qin private hospital group. She knew that not only would she be able to get the attention of the world’s live court broadcast, it would also allow her company’s performance to soar.
In fact, her company had recently gained a lot of fans. It was about to break through the ten million mark and enter the hundreds of millions fan club.
From the looks of it, she already had the capital and scale to compete with traditional media.
She could not and was not willing to give up this opportunity.
Gu Nianzhi had a good impression of Xie qingying now that she had said this.
She knew very well that she was not the same type of person as Xie qingying and did not like her, but that did not stop her from appreciating her professionalism.
This woman was just like her; she valued her career very much.
“… but what if you do this and it affects your marriage to the He Family?”Gu Nianzhi asked with a smile. She wanted to know if Xie qingying had thought through the consequences of this matter.
Xie qingying averted her gaze and looked out the window at the street scene. After a while, she said,”… I don’t know. I don’t even know if I’ll regret it in the future. But now, I don’t regret it.”
“Just think it over.”Gu Nianzhi stood up and waved at the waiter, handing him her credit card. “The bill, Please.”
The waiter took her credit card and went to settle the bill.
After the waiter returned her credit card, Gu Nianzhi smiled and asked Xie qingying, “Can you send me the information you received? I’m talking about the original information, not the headlines you wrote later.”
Xie qingying hesitated for a moment and said, “The other party sent the package by express delivery, not by mail. I’ve scanned the entire document, do you want a copy?”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes lit up. “A package by express delivery? That’s great, can I see the original?”
“Sure.”Xie qingying answered readily, “My company is not far from here, do you want to visit?”
“Sure, I haven’t been to cousin Xie’s company yet,”Gu Nianzhi said with a smile. She picked up her small bag and followed Xie qingying out of the hotel.
