About half an hour later, the three of them were already sitting in a box in a restaurant.

An Tianyu was busy with her own affairs and 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 were to pull her over.

A few people just ordered a simple meal and a bottle of red wine to take away, drinking and chatting.

Li Chao didn't seem to be able to drink very well, his face turned slightly red after drinking a glass of red wine.

He sighed: "Miss Qi, this incident is all due to our newspaper office's inappropriate handling. It has caused you such a big trouble, and we regret it now."

Now that I know I regret it, what were I thinking back then?

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

An Tianyu smiled and said: "Actually, I've always been puzzled. Your newspaper office had no problems with us before. Why did you suddenly target us this time? It seems unreasonable."

Li Chao was stunned for a moment, and his face was a little ugly: "You are talking too much when you say that. How could we target the Lu family? We don't dare to borrow our courage."

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

Li Chao still had a smile all over his face: "To be honest, it was an accident that the report would be published. It was written by an intern who had just joined the newspaper, but the editor-in-chief hadn't passed the review. Who would have thought that a manuscript could not be found suddenly when it was typesetting, and of course it was too late to write it now, and someone would sort that report up.”

Such a coincidence, the credibility is not high.

The smile on Qi Sisi's lips was somewhat meaningful: "But as far as I know, regular newspapers like yours usually have spare manuscripts."

Li Chao chuckled: "The key is that we couldn't find any other spare manuscripts at the time, and our editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief were on a business trip that day, which made us in a hurry..."

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

Li Chao shook his head and sighed: "We really didn't mean that. At that time... there were too many people, so we made mistakes in our busy schedule. In fact, after the newspaper was published, our editor-in-chief scolded all of us."

Qi Sisi smiled and said: "You guys have made such a big mess, unexpectedly you just scolded you, it's really cheap for you."

Li Chao smiled wryly: "How can it be just a scolding? Our editor-in-chief also said that if this matter cannot be resolved and we both really have to go to court, it is impossible for our newspaper to continue to survive in City A, so he said , Even if the family goes bankrupt, I don't want to go to court."

Qi Sisi frowned: "To tell you the truth, I think your newspaper office is full of money.

There is no way to make up for the loss caused to our Lu family. "

Li Chao was stunned for a moment: "Miss Qi was joking, right? For the sake of my sincere apology, it's impossible for you to really kill us all."

Qi Sisi smiled and shook her head: "That's hard to say, I've always been merciless in doing things."

An Tianyu said at the same time: "Things have already happened, you don't need to be too entangled, it's better to discuss how to solve it."

Li Chao accompanied him with a smile: "Yes, Ms. Qi, at least give me some face and let me go back to deal with business, the conditions are up to you..."

Qi Sisi seemed to want to relax, but she didn't express her opinion directly.

Li Chao glanced at An Tianyu again.

An Tianyu said: "Sisi, I think we should forgive others and forgive others. Since Li Chao has said so, why do you insist on it? This matter is not only the responsibility of the xx newspaper, and it cannot be undone in court. How much loss, everyone should discuss how to solve it, so as to minimize the loss."

Qi Sisi finally felt a little loose: "In fact, I don't want to end the matter, and it would be too exhausting to go to court. Since you are sincere in reconciliation, let's talk about the conditions."

Li Chao smiled all over his face: "You come to make a condition, as long as our newspaper can afford it, feel free to make it."

Qi Sisi put down the wine glass in his hand: "You must also know that the loss of our Lu family this time is immeasurable, but if you want your newspaper to pay the bill, you can't afford it at all, so I don't want to make things difficult for you, I only want 100 million yuan , this matter is considered a turning point, how about it?"

100 million, in a certain sense, is not a large number.

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

However, for newspapers, this is almost an astronomical figure.

Li Chao's face turned pale, and his smile was a little stiff: "100 million..."

Qi Sisi asked back: "Why, do you mean too much?"

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

Before Qi Sisi could say anything, An Tianyu took the first step: "But you can't afford so much money all at once, can you? Sisi, I think you should also be considerate of their difficulties, how about 50 yuan?" good?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she folded half of it at once, and Qi Sisi was not happy: "Hey, I said An Tianyu, you are going too far. If you fold it in half for 100 million, will you let me live?" Already."

An Tianyu smiled faintly: "I know, such a small amount of money can't solve any problems for you, the Lu family, but if it's too much, they won't be able to give it out. You can't force others to make things difficult for you, can you?"

Qi Sisi kept a straight face and said nothing.

Even if it falls to 50, Li Chao is not sure whether his boss can make it up, but seeing what Qi Sisi means, even this amount is too small for her.

So Li Chao didn't dare to say anything more: "Miss Qi, I also know that 50 is nothing to you, but to us, it is indeed not a small amount, so please give me some face, okay? "

Qi Sisi sighed: "Okay, 50 is 50, but let me start with my ugly words, I am not very patient, if your editor-in-chief has any objections, we will definitely avoid talking, just see the court directly. "

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 subject: "I've read Mr. Li's article before, and I think your writing style is really excellent. Being a reporter is really a bit of a shame."

Qi Sisi smiled and said: "If you have good literary talents, you can have many part-time jobs. I heard that Mr. Li just bought a villa a while ago, so he must have earned some extra money."

For some reason, Li Chao's expression 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 for the past few years, and his business was indeed doing well before, but there are rumors that he just lost a lot of money last year... Is there such a thing?"

Li Chao's face became increasingly ugly.

It's like he is a reporter who is quick-thinking and flexible, so it's impossible not to hear what Qi Sisi said.

I am just a small reporter, and I don't have much reputation. Unless Qi Sisi deliberately investigated, how could he know everything about himself and his family?

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

He smiled and said, "Miss Qi is really clever. My brother did lose a lot of money last year, but his performance in the first half of this year was good, so he still has enough money to buy a villa."

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

An Tianyu said at this time: "Mr. Li is really low-key enough. He bought such a luxurious villa and didn't even mention a word. It seems that the people around you don't know about it. Actually, 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 also good, it is said that the market price is at least seven figures."

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

An Tianyu smiled and said: "We don't mean anything else when we say this. I just heard that there are many working-class people who will be involved in the police investigation because of the discrepancy between their economic status and salary. That's why I kindly remind you. You are mentally prepared."

She said this tactfully, but how could Li Chao fail to understand what she meant.

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

An Tianyu nodded: "That's good."

A few people chatted some gossips again, and they were almost done eating, so Li Chao got up to take his leave and leave.

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

Qi Sisi asked with a smile: "Li Chao must be feeling terrified now, what do you think he will do next?"

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

Qi Sisi nodded: "Tell me, can their newspaper office afford the 50 yuan?"

An Tianyu shook her head: "I don't think it's possible, but they will definitely do everything possible to raise money, because they know that if you can't raise the money, you will definitely do what you say."

Qi Sisi smiled and said: "I hope everything is within our expectations, and our Lu family's loss this time can be minimized."
