About half an hour later, the three of them were already sitting in a private room in a hotel.

An Tianyu originally had her own things to do, and she didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Qi Sisi was worried that she wouldn't have lunch on time when she went back, so if she was pulled over.

A few people just had a simple meal, a bottle of red wine, and chatted while drinking.

Li Chao didn't seem to have a very good amount of wine, and after a glass of red wine, his face turned slightly red.

He sighed: "Miss Qi, this matter, speaking of which, it is all to blame for what our newspaper did inappropriately, which caused you so much trouble, and we now regret not doing it at the beginning." ”

Now that I know that I regretted not at the beginning, what were I thinking at the beginning?

Qi Sisi's face was still ugly, and he didn't speak.

An Tianyu smiled: "Actually, I've always been puzzled, your newspaper has been at peace with us before, why did it suddenly target us this time, it seems unreasonable." ”

Li Chao was stunned for a moment, his face was a little ugly: "You are serious when you say this, how can we target the Lu family, we don't dare to borrow a few of our courage." ”

Qi Sisi finally couldn't help but speak: "You guys have done things so beautifully, you don't dare to say anything." ”

Li Chao still smiled with a smile on his face: "To be honest, that report will be published, it's really an accident." It was a report written by an intern who had just joined the newspaper, but the editor-in-chief had not reviewed it, and who would have thought that when it was typeset later, there was a manuscript that suddenly could not be found. ”

Such a coincidence is not very credible.

The smile on Qi Sisi's lips was a little meaningful: "But as far as I know, a regular newspaper like yours usually has a spare manuscript." ”

Li Chao smiled: "The key is that I couldn't find other spare manuscripts at that time, and our editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief were on a business trip that day, which caused us to be in ......a hurry."

Qi Sisi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and snorted coldly: "So, you decided to push the Lu clan to the cusp, right?" Compared to your newspaper, the rise and fall of our Lu clan is insignificant, right? ”

Li Chao shook his head and sighed: "We really didn't mean that, we were ...... In fact, after the newspaper was sent out, our editor-in-chief scolded all of us. ”

Qi Sisi smiled: "You poked such a big basket, I didn't expect to just scold you, it's really cheap for you." ”

Li Chao smiled bitterly: "How can it be just a scolding, our editor-in-chief also said that if this matter cannot be resolved, if we really want to go to court, our newspaper is afraid that it will be impossible for us to continue to survive in City A, so he said that even if he is bankrupt, he doesn't want to go to court." ”

Qi Sisi frowned: "To be honest, I think your newspaper is a big deal."

out, there is no way to make up for the losses caused to our Lu family. ”

Li Chao was stunned for a moment: "Miss Qi is joking, right, for the sake of my sincere apology, you can't really kill us." ”

Qi Sisi shook his head with a smile: "That's hard to say, I'm a person who has always been ruthless in doing things." ”

An Tianyu spoke: "Things have already happened, you don't need to be too entangled, it's better to discuss how to solve it." ”

Li Chao smiled: "Yes, Miss Qi, give me a face, let me go back and make a good deal, and the conditions are up to you......"

Qi Sisi seemed to have the intention of loosening, but he did not express his position directly.

Li Chao glanced at An Tianyu again.

An Tianyu spoke: "Sisi, I think you have to be forgiving and forgiving, since Li Chao said so, why do you hold on?" This matter is not only the responsibility of the XX newspaper, but also the court can not recover much loss, everyone should discuss how to solve it in order to minimize the loss. ”

Qi Sisi finally had some loose meaning: "I actually don't want to do things absolutely nothing, and if you really go to court, it will be too energy-consuming, since you have the sincerity to reconcile, let's talk about the conditions." ”

Li Chao smiled with a smile on his face: "You come to make conditions, as long as our newspaper can afford it, just mention it." ”

Qi Sisi put down the wine glass in his hand: "You must also know that our Lu family's loss this time is immeasurable, but if you want your newspaper to pay, you can't afford it at all, then I don't want to embarrass you, I only need one million, this matter is considered a page, how about it?" ”

One million, in a sense, is not a large number.

Compared with the losses suffered by the Lu clan this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the bucket.

However, for newspapers, this is almost astronomical.

Li Chao's face turned pale, and his smile was a little stiff: "One million, ......"

Qi Sisi asked rhetorically: "What, do you mean too much?" ”

Li Chao hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, of course not, such a small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for the Lu family, but what...... ”

Without waiting for Qi Sisi to say anything, An Tianyu took the lead: "But your newspaper temple is small, so you can't come up with so much money at once, right?" Sisi, I think you should also be considerate of their difficulties, why don't you have 500,000? ”

As soon as she opened her mouth like this, she immediately folded it in half, and Qi Sisi was not happy: "Hey, I said An Tianyu, you are too much, you can fold half of it for me for one million, you won't let me live." ”

An Tianyu smiled faintly: "I know, such a little money can't solve any problems for your Lu clan at all, but if there are too many words, they can't take it out, you can't be strong, right?" ”

Qi Sisi kept a straight face.

Even if it falls to 500,000, Li Chao is not sure if his boss can make it up, but looking at Qi Sisi's meaning, even if it is this amount, she is too little.

So Li Chao didn't dare to say anything: "Miss Qi, I also know that 500,000 is nothing to you, but for us, it's really not a small amount, so you, just give me some face." ”

Qi Sisi sighed: "Okay, 500,000 is 500,000, but when I talk about ugly things, I don't have much patience as a person, if your editor-in-chief has any objections, we will definitely not talk about it, just see you in the court." ”

Li Chao nodded: "I will convey your words to him." ”

An Tianyu filled the glasses of several people with red wine, and then changed the topic: "I have read Mr. Li's articles before, and I think your writing is really excellent, and being a reporter is really a bit condescending." ”

Qi Sisi said with a smile: "If the writing is good enough, there are many part-time jobs to do, I heard that Mr. Li just bought a villa a while ago, he must have earned extra money." ”

I don't know why, Li Chao's face changed instantly: "Miss Qi is really well-informed, but I didn't buy that villa myself, my brother bought it for me." ”

Qi Sisi smiled: "I heard that your brother has been developing abroad in the past few years, and the business has indeed done well before, but it is rumored that he just lost a lot of money last year...... Is there such a thing? ”

Li Chao's face became more and more difficult to look at.

Reporters like him are quick thinkers and flexible minds, so it is naturally impossible not to hear the meaning of Qi Sisi's words.

He is just a little reporter, and he has no reputation, unless Qi Sisi has deliberately investigated, how can he know everything about himself and his family?

What's more, the matter of the villa has never been mentioned to anyone, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get the news.

He smiled: "Miss Qi is simply hand-eyed, my brother did lose a lot of money last year, but the performance in the first half of this year was good, so the money to buy a villa can still be obtained." ”

Qi Sisi nodded: "I see, then you and your brother really have a good relationship......"

An Tianyu spoke at this time: "Mr. Li is really low-key enough, he bought such a luxury villa, and he didn't even mention it, as if the people around you didn't know about it." In fact, to tell you the truth, I was also very interested in that villa before, and I went to see it once, it is spacious enough and luxurious, and the location is good, it is said that the market price is at least seven figures. ”

Li Chao smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Qi knows a lot, but it was really my brother who bought it for me." ”

An Tianyu said with a smile: "We don't mean anything else when we say this, I just heard that there are many working-class people, because the economic situation does not match the salary, and the police will intervene in the investigation, so I kindly remind you to be mentally prepared." ”

She said this tactfully, but how could Li Chao not hear the meaning of her words.

However, he still pretended to be confused: "Thank you Mrs. Qi for your concern, but I think the police should not come to investigate me, and even if they do, I have nothing to worry about." ”

An Tianyu nodded: "That's good." ”

A few people gossiped again, and they ate almost enough, and Li Chao got up and said goodbye and left.

There were only two people left in the box, An Tianyu.

Qi Sisi smiled and asked: "Li Chao must be furious in his heart now, what do you think he will do next?" ”

An Tianyu smiled: "I think he will definitely distance himself from that person as much as possible, but that person is supposed to find him quickly, so we just need to let people stare at him." ”

Qi Sisi nodded: "You say, can their newspaper get the 500,000?" ”

An Tianyu shook his head: "I don't think I can take it, but they will definitely do everything they can to raise money, because they know that if this money can't be raised, you will definitely do what you say." ”

Qi Sisi smiled: "I hope everything is as we expected, and our Lu clan's losses this time can be minimized." ”
