Chapter 481: The Vegetarian Reporter’s Three Aces (3)
The main force behind Song Yuesheng's deliberate spread of the rumor were idle women.
So much so that after nightfall, almost half of Sang City knew of Qi Yi's existence.
The North and South declared a ceasefire two years ago.
From then on, there was no more fighting and looting, and people from all over the north and south could go to each other's territories to travel and do business.
But this was the first time that Qi Yi's arrival in Sangcheng was made public.
Yu Hanhai returned to Yunyinju and told Qi Yi everything he had talked about with Huang Que.
Then, he relayed Huang Que's words: "Lao Qi, Huang Que said that once he finds out who spread the news, he will bring that person's body here."
Qi Yi raised his eyes from the map of Sangcheng and ordered, "I will make the decision on this matter. Tell Huang Que not to do anything unnecessary."
Can break free from his hands.
The oriole may not be the opponent.
Sangcheng is not like Yizhou. Once the conspiracy is exposed, three years of planning will be ruined.
Noticing that Yu Hanhai was still standing there, Qi Yi frowned.
"Anything else?"
"Well... there will be a government-business exchange meeting in Sangcheng in five days. Huang Que wants to know how long you plan to stay in Sangcheng."
Yu Hanhai hesitated for a long time and only conveyed the first half of Huang Que's words. The second half, "I want to meet with Mr. Qi and report to him in person," was swallowed back by him.
He can be said to be the person who knows Lao Qi best.
Not only will Lao Qi not listen to such words, but his impression of the speaker will also be greatly reduced.
The yellow bird is already very pitiful.
He can't do this.
"That kind of exchange meeting has always been hosted by Old Xia."
Qi Yi's surprise was obvious.
He's not interested.
Yu Hanhai understood and nodded: "Then I will remind Lao Xia to be careful when I find him tomorrow."
He felt that Qi Yi was even weirder.
Most of the attendees at the official-business exchange meeting were important figures from the north.
Last year, Qi Yi placed one-third of the people at the exchange meeting and obtained nearly half of the insider information.
This enabled the South to seize minerals, salt, iron, railways and other resources ahead of others.
Why is there no action this year?
Yu Hanhai couldn't understand Qi Yi's intention.
But know to do it.
Upon hearing the news that Qi Yi had come to Sangcheng, although all parties had different opinions, their core interests were the same.
──We can’t let Qi Yi stay in Sangcheng for long.
The one who reacted the most was the father of Xia Pingwan, the richest man in Sangcheng.
Father Xia became suspicious as soon as he heard the news.
He ordered the servants to do a thorough cleaning and constantly check the house for any unnecessary items.
Xia's mother felt puzzled.
She asked him a few questions, and he yelled at her, "What does a woman know?"
I didn't even have a good dinner.
Mother Xia felt aggrieved and called Xia Pingwan to chat and complain.
Xia Pingwan didn't know the reason, so she could only change the subject.
The press release didn't make sense, and she really didn't want to hear complaints.
Father Xia looked at the servants who were checking every place, walking back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back.
I hope he's overthinking it.
Just now.
A servant came over.
She spread her hands and said, "Master, we found a letter and a dice in the mailbox at the door."
There is a "Q" on the envelope.
The three visible sides of the dice all have six points.
Father Xia's eyes suddenly widened.
He suppressed his emotions and ordered, "Put the things down and tell everyone that we won't clean up."
"Yes, sir."
Father Xia took the things to the study and unpacked them.
The letter said that he had something to discuss with him in the morning.
The unique symbol and the six-sided dice both point to one person.
Qi Yi.
And five days later there will be a new round of official-business exchange meeting...
Last year, I was almost discovered by Marshal Huo. If I try to do something again this year, I must be more careful.
Father Xia thought Qi Yi would come in person.
The next morning, he drove his wife and servants out of the house early with various excuses.
It turned out that the person who came was Yu Hanhai, who claimed to be the adjutant.
Yu Hanhai's request was not for an official-business exchange meeting, but for him to purchase a photo studio and pay more attention to information on the day of the exchange meeting.
Report back when you come across useful information.
When Father Xia sent the man away, he asked again, "Mr. Yu, is this... really Mr. Qi's order?"
Yu Hanhai smiled gently, with a hint of amusement and profound meaning hidden in his smile.
He reminded: "If you don't believe me, you can go to Yunyinju and ask. But I have to remind you that Lao Qi is not that easy to talk to."
"Boss Xia, if you plan to ask, remember to write a will in advance."
Upon hearing this, Father Xia's face suddenly changed, and his surprise was evident in his words: "Didn't the newspaper say that Mr. Qi is gentle, elegant, and easy to get along with?"
Yu Hanhai couldn't help but chuckle: "Boss Xia, have you ever seen anyone in the Qi family who was merciful and soft-hearted?"
Father Xia stood there in a daze.
Yes.
The newspapers were full of descriptions of Marshal Qi.
But in addition to being the young marshal, Qi Yi is also the person in charge of the Qi family in Yizhou.
The latter is the identity that is truly frightening.
Seeing this, Yu Hanhai laughed again and again: "Since Boss Xia understands, please don't do anything unnecessary."
"Yes, please rest assured, Mr. Yu."
If Father Xia used to do it on his own initiative just to make more profits, now he has to do it after he understands it.
Father Xia acted very quickly.
Half an hour later, he asked his assistant to take the drafted purchase contract to Haina Photo Studio.
The contract promised a new, larger photo studio in the most prosperous area of Sangcheng.
Fang Xinrou is also the boss.
She is also responsible for all recruitment.
However, the new photo studio adopts a shareholder system, Fang Xinrou only holds 40% of the shares, and the selected photo models must cooperate with Xia’s new product promotion.
Not only that, if performance does not meet the target within three months, Haina Photo Studio will change its owner.
No matter how you look at it, it is an unequal contract.
Fang Xinrou has seen the world.
She read the contract carefully over and over again, even reading the places where there might be small print.
After reading it, Fang Xinrou smiled apologetically.
"Thank you for your kindness, Boss Xia, but I don't have enough energy to manage such a large photo studio."
Father Xia: "If you can't manage it, you can hire someone. If Ms. Fang doesn't have anyone she trusts, I can transfer the most honest person in my factory over there."
“But to me, he is also a stranger.”
Fang Xinrou smiled and said, "Boss Xia, I really don't have the energy. Why don't you go look at other photo studios? They have a better future than me."
Father Xia said bluntly: "So you are going to refuse?"
Fang Xinrou smiled tactfully: "If I were ten years younger, I would definitely agree to cooperate with Boss Xia. Alas, I am old now."
Father Xia stood up with an impatient look on his face: "You'd better remember your decision now."
……
The newspaper readjusted everyone's work content and held a meeting that lasted the whole morning.
simply put.
Each issue of the newspaper is no longer published in a thematic format.
Starting from the next issue, the issue that each person is responsible for must contain content on at least four topics.
Originally, it was Song Yuesheng's turn to read this issue of the newspaper.
But because of Xia Pingwan, the newspaper that Song Yuesheng was responsible for became the next issue.
With the help of Yuan Yada, she roughly decided on four themes: old customs, how to protect personal property, Sangcheng tourist attractions, and Sangcheng cuisine.
By the time she left the newspaper office under the pretext of looking for news and went to Haina Photo Studio, it was almost twelve o'clock.
The atmosphere in the photo studio is weird.
Ms. Fang and Yun Duo both looked absent-minded.
Song Yuesheng walked over and asked, "Mom, why did you put up the sign that said [Temporarily Closed]?"
"It's not Xia just now..."
Yun Duo received Fang Xinrou's gaze.
She quickly shut up.
