Chapter 609: Wine Heals Emotional Wounds
Liu Chen and Xiaodong drank until late to distinguish the winner, and in the end, Liu Chen won by a slight advantage of a bottle, usually drinking beer, Liu Chen didn't feel drunk at all, as long as he urinated, he was still sober, but today he felt like he was forced to the limit by Xiaodong, at this time Liu Chen regretted a little that he didn't drink liquor, and he ran back and forth to the toilet several times.
Just when Liu Chen came out of the public toilet, a strange phone called, he thought for a while and then picked up the phone, didn't take the initiative to speak, and waited for the other end of the phone to speak first.
A girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, and she asked very gently, "Hey, is it Liu Chen?"
Liu Chen's mind was still clear, he quickly found the owner of this voice from his memory bank, and replied with a smile: "Hehe, beautiful reporter, why did you call me suddenly, and you used an unfamiliar number." ”
Zhao Mengran was not in such a good mood as Liu Chen, and said uneasily: "This is my company's phone, my own mobile phone is out of battery, I will tell you a bad news." ”
After Liu Chen paused for a few seconds, he put away the smile on his face and said calmly: "Say it, let's see how bad it is." ”
Zhao Mengran said in a low mood: "We received a task to rush a manuscript overnight, it is about you." ”
Liu Chen guessed: "It's negative news about me, right?"
"Well, I asked our leader why he rushed this draft, and he said that this is a request from above, so I think ...... Tomorrow, tomorrow your negative press will ......"
"I'm going to become an Internet celebrity tomorrow, hehe, it's okay, who hasn't had any negative news in the river. ”
Seeing that Liu Chen didn't feel worried at all, Zhao Mengran kindly reminded: "In addition to our Jiangxia Evening News, there are other big media that will do your special reports, which have a very big influence and have a very bad impact on you." ”
Liu Chen saw that Zhao Mengran was so worried, so he didn't want to be serious anymore, he became serious, and said: "What should come will always come, since Hongyu accused me through the media of the trumped-up accusations, I knew that there would be this day, I was mentally prepared." ”
"This is unfair to you, if you don't take the initiative to clarify or refute rumors, it will become a fact in the mouths of those people, and even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it away." Zhao Mengran is a reporter, often goes deep into the bottom field investigation, knows that the people's herd psychology is very serious, they often do not explore the truth of the matter, as long as there is a topic, they like to discuss, the more curious they are, the more they like it, this situation is very unfavorable for Liu Chen.
Liu Chen pretended to be powerless and shrugged: "Someone deliberately wants to target me, and it's some big shot, can I still hide?"
"No, I'll have to go to my uncle, he'll be able to settle the matter. Zhao Mengran thought about it for a long time and decided to show her hole cards, just to protect the righteous man in her heart.
As soon as Liu Chen heard that Zhao Mengran was going to invite her uncle out, he hurriedly stopped: "No, no, really no, your uncle's appearance will really make a big fuss, and it will be even more difficult to clean up when the time comes, in short, I thank you in advance for your kindness, I will solve this matter myself." ”
Zhao Mengran was still worried: "But how can you solve it alone?"
"I have a way to deal with despicable villains, don't worry about it, hurry up and get the manuscript done, otherwise I will be scolded by the leader tomorrow. Liu Chen ended the topic with a light-hearted joke.
"Well, then you have to be careful, feel free to contact me if you need my help. ”
"Okay, thanks. ”
After hanging up the phone, Liu Chen stood under the tree at the door of the toilet for a while, smoking a cigarette, he was actually very surprised by Zhao Mengran's phone call, this matter was thought to be just a matter with Sun Quan, but I didn't expect that it would involve a bigger person, and it was able to make several media companies write black materials, and even the largest Jiangxia Evening News in Jiangxia City needed to follow this instruction, who was behind this?
Although Sun Quan has a very great influence in the business community in Jiangxia, with his shallow qualifications, he can't invite those bigwigs at all, unless someone else is willing to help, but who will it be?
Sun Quan's current backer is Guo Taipei, Guo Taipei belongs to the public security system, and it has nothing to do with propaganda.
The old man is even more impossible, he belongs to the people of the Tao, and the power in the rivers and lakes is very strong, but there is no official power available in Jiangxia or even in the whole country, otherwise there is no need to ask Guo Taipei in the mainland and Dong Tianhua in the Red Port to cooperate together, but there may be some military relations in the former Nanxing Kingdom.
Being able to use official connections in Jiangxia City, and being able to command propaganda tools on such a large scale, this person must be the number one person, thinking of the phenomenon of the hot Internet, a familiar name and familiar event suddenly popped up in Liu Chen's mind, Ji Xiaofeng!
The struggle with Ji Xiaofeng quickly swept the entire network, and it was the madness of Internet public opinion that allowed him to smoothly withdraw from this large-scale incident. How familiar this scene is now, but he has become the object of condemnation on the Internet, and he has become the "Ji Xiaofeng" at that time.
But since the last incident, Ji Xiaofeng has suddenly been heard from nothing, one is that he needs to be low-key to avoid suspicion because of his father, and there is another theory that he went abroad to do big business, what he did and why he disappeared, no one knows, and ordinary people can't get in touch with a character like him.
If Ji Xiaofeng came out at this time, it would be very bad news for Liu Chen, he is now in all kinds of troubles, and he is facing many opponents, and a heavyweight like Ji Xiaofeng will inevitably let Liu Chen share some of his energy, and it is not difficult to deal with Ji Xiaofeng himself, he dared to break into his heaven and earth manor alone and cut his hamstrings, so there is no reason to be afraid of him, but the power behind him is amazing, last time it was because of his future father-in-law, this time he can't trouble the old man anymore, this has not become a family。
After Liu Chen brushed his thoughts for a while, he extinguished his cigarette butt and returned to the food stall to continue drinking.
When he returned to the food stall and found that there was no one at the table, and the wine bottles were still on the table, Liu Chen asked Tang Xishi, who was washing: "Where is the little easterner?"
Tang Xishi raised his head and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Eh, isn't it there?
Liu Chen shook his head and said, "Impossible, I just came over there." ”
"Will it vomit somewhere, look for it. With that, Tang Xishi put down the work in his hand and ran over to find Xiaodong with Liu Chen.
Liu Chen and Tang Xishi searched separately, shouting Xiaodong's name, Liu Chen looked around, and found Xiaodong on the flower bed next to a car on the opposite side of the road, and saw that Xiaodong was crying, very emotional, accompanied by the stimulation of alcohol, tears flowed wantonly on his face.
Liu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiaodong, what's wrong with you, why did you come here?"
Xiaodong didn't speak, he covered his face with his hands, and tears overflowed from his fingers, which showed that he was crying very sadly.
Liu Chen touched his body, and he didn't bring tissues, he raised his head and looked around, and suddenly saw a scene that surprised him, not far away, in a Western restaurant, a pair of men and women who were intimate like a couple, facing each other, the boy was sandwiching a piece of meat for the girl, and the girl went directly to her mouth and fed her mouth.
This girl is none other than Tong Xinyan! Liu Chen remembered that Tong Xinyan came out of the office before and said that the other party had a dinner party, and that boy must be Tong Xinyan's classmate, but such an intimate act has far exceeded the scale that should exist between classmates. Xiaodong must have seen this scene to be so sad.
After this scene, Liu Chen didn't know how to comfort Xiaodong, in other words, whoever encounters this kind of thing will be sad, at this time, any words of comfort don't seem to have any effect.
Liu Chen thought about it, and finally decided to sit down next to Xiaodong, sit with him, and did not comfort him, nor did he speak, nor let him leave this sad screen, so he accompanied him, letting him know that the relationship had encountered a problem, it was just a small setback, and a man can be disappointed in love, but he should not be crushed by love.
Liu Chen stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Dong on the back, Xiao Dong seemed to understand Liu Chen's intentions, he slowly moved his hand, wiped the sadness on his face, and turned his head to look at Liu Chen, as if at this time, it was not the boss who was sitting next to him, but a brother.
Two completely different emotions blended with each other in Xiaodong's heart, mixed together, more like a struggle, and the final winner was the emotion called gratitude, he raised his face, blinked vigorously, tried to adjust his complex and difficult emotions, and finally stood up and said to Liu Chen: "Let's go." ”
Liu Chen didn't expect Xiaodong to come out of his sadness so quickly, and at this time, Tong Xinyan was still immersed in his own happiness, the comparison between the two was really a very piercing picture.
Liu Chen asked as he walked, "Shall we go back or?"
Xiaodong lowered his head and walked towards the food stall: "Keep drinking, don't we have a winner yet." ”
Liu Chen looked at Xiaodong's back in surprise and asked, "Didn't I have one more bottle than you?"
"That's not all, it's not over yet. "Xiaodong looks very serious, very resolute, and tonight he completely shows his other side.
"Well, I'll be with you as much as you drink tonight. ”
Liu Chen knew that Xiaodong wanted to continue to use alcohol to paralyze and drunk himself, this practice was not good or bad, but at least it was a good thing for Xiaodong now, this wine, just accompany him to have a good drink, win or lose is not important at all.
