Chapter 14: Trouble Comes to the Door (Part II)
Chen Zhicheng hesitated for a moment, and decided to go straight to the point, just said Su Meinu, I won't go around in circles with you. Let's be straight, I know that you have a relative who is the leader of the newspaper and is in charge of this matter, and I want you to introduce me to it.
When Su Han heard this, his face changed, and he said almost without hesitation, I'm sorry, Chen Zhicheng, I can't help you with this.
Chen Zhicheng said why?
Su Han accentuated his tone and said no, but if he can't help, he can't help, he really can't help.
Chen Zhicheng looked at Su Han's indifferent face, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
He remembered the rumors about Su Han at the class reunion. Some people say that Su Han was able to enter Yangzhou Daily because there was a leader in the newspaper who was her relative, but some people said that the leader was not Su Han's relative at all, but her lover.
Before coming, Chen Zhicheng did a special investigation, and finally believed that the leader was her relative, but now looking at Su Han's attitude, he couldn't help but doubt that conclusion again. On the flip side, if that were the case, maybe things would have been easier. Chen Zhicheng hesitated to talk to Su Han in another way.
The dishes gradually came together, but the deadlock between the two could not be resolved for a long time, Chen Zhicheng thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to show his hole cards directly.
Chen Zhicheng first put away the form, put it in the kraft paper file bag, and then pushed the document bag in front of Su Han, saying that you can take these materials first, it may be useful.
Su Han didn't want to take it, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and decided to accept it for the time being. I took it and put it next to my seat.
Chen Zhicheng looked at Su Han's casual appearance, and hurriedly reminded her that Su Meinu, you have to keep these materials safe, and you must pay attention to confidentiality!
Su Han pursed his lips and said that I think it's just a few pieces of waste paper, what is there to keep secret?
Chen Zhicheng said don't believe it yet, be careful, if it leaks out, it will cause trouble!
Su Han looked at him with a serious look, so he moved the document bag to a close place.
Chen Zhicheng put the lobster sashimi that had just come up close to Su Han, and put a can of abalone in front of Su Han, let's talk while eating.
Su Han is indeed a little hungry, and the taste of abalone is indeed delicious, worthy of a celebrity chef's cuisine. was about to taste it seriously, but he didn't expect Chen Zhicheng to say something next, which shocked Su Han very much, and he completely lost his appetite.
Chen Zhicheng said Su Han, to be honest, I don't know how many percentage points Zhao Tiancheng of Feixun will give you, but Tianyu will never let others suffer when he does things, please rest assured!
Su Han almost jumped up, but after a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, she forced herself to calm down, and then said to Chen Zhicheng, Deputy General Manager Chen, I don't understand what you say, but let me tell you the truth, I will never do anything illegal.
Chen Zhicheng heard what she said, and hurriedly declared, saying Su Han, don't worry, I will never do anything illegal. Then he hesitated for a moment, and then said, but now there are rules in the business field, and if you don't follow these rules, you can't do any business. Actually, I don't ask you to do anything, you just introduce Mr. Liu to me, and whether you can talk about CD in the back has nothing to do with you. If it doesn't work out, it won't make you embarrassed, and if it does, it will definitely be your benefit. Don't you think about it?
Su Han pretended to think about it for a long time before he said, let's not talk about this matter today, let me think about it.
Chen Zhicheng said okay, no problem! But this matter can't be delayed for too long, because people won't be waiting for you, right?
Su Han didn't speak, Chen Zhicheng didn't force her anymore, and persuaded Su Han to taste this and eat that, Su Han accepted it silently, but he didn't feel any taste of these delicacies.
When he was about to get off work, Gao Ming packed up the papers on the table and was about to turn off the computer, when he heard someone knocking on the door. Gao Ming said please come in, and saw Su Han push open the door and walk in with a smile.
Gao Ming first asked Su Han to sit down, and then said that it was almost time to get off work, Xiao Su, what else is there to do when you come?
Su Han ignored him, but said Teacher Gao, don't be so serious, okay?
Gao Ming looked at Su Han with some surprise, usually they talked, and they were always polite to each other, and they had never seen her talk to him in such a childish tone. But think about it, probably because of familiarity, I asked her, Xiao Su, what makes you so happy?
Su Han didn't answer his words, but just said to himself, Teacher Gao, hey, Director Gao, what do you say I call you better?
Gao Ming saw that she was happy, and he couldn't bear to say anything about her, so he said very casually, you can call her whatever you want, if you want, you can call Lao Gao.
Su Han said playfully, then I really call Lao Gao, Lao Gao, Lao Gao, forget it, it feels like I am called old, I still call you Teacher Gao.
Gao Ming smiled and said that if you have something, hurry up and say, I'm going to leave after work if it's okay.
Su Han hurriedly changed his serious expression and said Mr. Gao, Director Xiang had approved me to write the advertising text and gave me a manuscript fee.
Gao Ming said that's great, I thought you were fully capable of taking on this job.
Su Han said Teacher Gao, I want to invite you to dinner to express my sincere gratitude!
Gao Ming quickly shook his head when he heard this, and said Xiao Su, you must not be like this, in fact, you also know that I didn't do anything, you mainly rely on your own ability to do this, right?
Su Han said but, Mr. Gao, you recommended me, and you also helped me revise the draft.
Gao Ming said okay, strictly speaking, you work for the director and work for the newspaper. As a leader, it's normal to help you at work. So, I won't eat this meal, but I still appreciate your kindness.
When Su Han heard him say this, he couldn't help but be disappointed. She pondered for a moment, deciding that she would tell the truth. Su Han said Director Gao, let me be honest, I have a serious matter I want to tell you, and inviting you to dinner is actually just an excuse.
Gao Ming only smiled faintly when he heard this, and said that you little girl still have something important to talk to me? Okay, since you want to talk, we don't need to eat anything, just talk here!
Su Han shook his head and said Mr. Gao, it's not me who sells it, really! I think it's best not to talk about this matter in the office.
How do I think there is nothing that can't be discussed in the office?
Su Han thought for a while and said If I tell you that this major event has a lot to do with the newspaper, so I don't want to talk about it in the office, can you agree to my request?
Gao Ming heard Su Han say this, and then looked at her serious appearance, so he was silent.
Seeing that Gao Ming was silent for a long time, Su Han felt a little uncomfortable. She knew why Gao Ming was embarrassed and was willing to understand him, but the stakes were so high that she didn't want to sit idly by, but she didn't know what to do. When she had dinner with Chen Zhicheng at noon, Su Han thought about it, and she didn't say anything about it to anyone except Gao Ming. But Gao Ming's indifferent attitude now made Su Han feel very helpless, not only very disappointed, but also very hurt.
Su Han slowly stood up and said Director Gao, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Then no matter what Gao Ming's reaction was, he turned around and walked out.
Until Su Han walked out of the office, Gao Ming still didn't speak. From the moment Su Han said that he had something serious to tell him, Gao Ming realized that the little girl's initial happy appearance was all fake. This made Gao Ming feel a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't comfort Su Han.
In fact, Gao Ming was also quite conflicted at this time, especially the moment when Su Han's thin back was about to disappear in front of him, he almost spoke out to keep her, but in the end he chose to be silent. After all, he has too many things to worry about, except for Mr. Liu, there are other people and other things.
But what Gao Ming didn't expect was that the decision he made in the end this time was completely contrary to his original intention. Su Han said that the incident had a lot to do with the newspaper, and after all, the weight of this sentence was too heavy, and he really couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb.
When Su Han returned to his office, it was past the end of work, and everyone else was almost gone. She was depressed and didn't want to stay in the office any longer. After a brief cleanup, he was about to go home, but his mobile phone rang suddenly, and he didn't pay attention to who answered it, but he didn't expect it to be He Fei.
He Fei said Reporter Su, are you off work?
Su Han felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he said angrily, Chairman He, please tell me something quickly. I'm busy, I'm afraid I don't have time for small talk.
He Fei was not angry at all, and said that I passed by the door of the newspaper office on my errands. I want to come and see you and Mr. Huang, as well as Director Gao, are you convenient now?
Su Han didn't think about it, and opened his mouth to say I'm really sorry, Chairman He, I haven't returned to the club just after the interview outside. If you want to go, just contact Mr. Huang.
When He Fei heard this, he was obviously a little disappointed and said, Oh, that's the case, then let's talk about it.
Su Han quietly approached the window and looked out, and sure enough, he saw He Fei's Lamborghini parked at the gate, but it didn't take long for it to drive away. Su Han watched He Fei's car gradually move away, and suddenly thought of a question, I wonder if He Fei has anything to do with this?
It wasn't until He Fei's car disappeared for a long time that Su Han left for home. Before leaving, I looked at the brown paper document bag on the table, hesitated for a long time, and still felt that it was not suitable for the office, so I took it and planned to take it home.
Su Han slowly walked back to the rented apartment alone, and when he reached the door, he remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet. I didn't want to go home to cook, and I didn't bother to return to the club, so I turned around and went into a small restaurant on the side of the road and asked for a bowl of beef noodles. I was eating tastelessly when my phone rang in my pocket.
When I took it out, it was the landline number in Gao Ming's office. Su Han was excited, and quickly took it, saying Director Gao, is there something wrong?
Gao Ming's voice hesitated slightly, and asked her, Xiao Su, where are you now?
Su Han said, I just went downstairs to my apartment and ate noodles at a roadside restaurant.
Gao Ming hesitated for a moment, then laughed and said, Oh, that's a pity, I wanted to treat you to dinner.
As soon as Su Han heard this, he immediately became happy, and quickly said Director Gao, you still have a chance, I haven't eaten yet. This is obviously a half-truth, saying that he has eaten without eating, and saying that he has eaten but has not eaten enough.
Who knew that after Su Han finished speaking, Gao Ming's side was silent again, which made Su Han's heart sink again.
Fortunately, after a while, Gao Ming finally made up his mind.
Gao Ming said Okay, Su Han, I'll pick you up, you tell me how to go.
Su Han suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and told Gao Ming, Mr. Gao, when you get out of the newspaper office, turn around and turn left, and drive to Hengjie, I will wait for you at the intersection.
Gao Ming said okay, I'll go downstairs and talk about it when I have something to say.
Su Han responded happily, got up and went to the boss to settle the account, and hurriedly went out in the direction of the newspaper. didn't walk a few steps, but I heard the owner of the small restaurant shouting and chased after him, holding a brown paper bag in his hand, which was exactly what Su Han pulled on the table. The boss said that the beauty is yours, right? Su Han took it and thanked him repeatedly, and the boss said that he was not polite, and turned around and went back to the store.
Su Han looked at the brown paper bag and found that it had obviously been opened. If you look closely, the tables haven't moved. I was secretly glad that I didn't put anything of value in it.
Su Han arrived at the intersection, but Gao Ming's car had not yet arrived, so he stood on the side of the road and waited. After a while, Gao Ming drove his Guangben over, and smiled at Su Han from afar, and Su Han felt warm in his heart. Hiromoto stopped in front of Su Han, and Gao Ming gestured to Su Han and asked her to sit in the back seat. Who knew that Su Han didn't pay attention to it at all, and directly opened the co-pilot's door and sat in.
Gao Ming wanted to insist that Su Han sit in the back, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but say nothing. Who knew that this small negligence almost caused trouble for him and Su Han.
After Gao Ming started, Su Han asked Mr. Gao, what are you going to invite me to eat?
Gao Ming asked her rhetorically, what do you want to eat?
Su Han thought about it, and really couldn't think of what he wanted to eat for a while, so he smiled and said that in fact, he mainly wanted to talk to you about things, and it didn't matter what he ate, Mr. Gao, you just look at it.
Gao Ming wanted to go to the God of the Night, where the cubicles were especially good for conversations, and in addition to coffee, curry rice and pasta were also very well done. In the past, Gao Ming and Lin Yi often went there to eat pasta and drink coffee. But at this moment, when he thought of Lin Yi's resentful gaze, Gao Ming immediately gave up this idea. Gao Ming thought about it, then turned the head of the car and drove towards the Sakura Pavilion.
Gao Ming didn't expect him to make a U-turn, but he met Mr. Liu at the intersection not far from the newspaper. Mr. Liu went to Meiyuan to have dinner with customers, and when he was in the wrong car with Gao Ming, although he was sitting in the back seat, he clearly saw Su Han sitting in the car, talking to Gao Ming with a smile, and his happy expression was completely different from when he was with him.
Mr. Liu's heart suddenly sour, and he couldn't wait to rush up and strangle Gao Ming to death. Although he didn't know where Gao Ming was going to take Su Han, he was sure that the two of them were not walking together at this moment for an interview. Although Mr. Liu couldn't say anything, he was not happy for a whole night because of this.
In Gao Ming's car, the atmosphere is very harmonious at the moment. Su Han was in a good mood, and he kept saying this and that to Gao Ming along the way. But she wasn't a girl who talked a lot, and she didn't have anything else to talk about except to ask about people and things in the newspaper.
Later, when we talked about other things by chance, Su Han actually asked a question that had been asked several times in WeChat, but Gao Ming had not answered.
Su Han said, Mr. Gao, what are your hobbies?
Gao Ming didn't answer this question immediately, but turned his head and looked at Su Han with some surprise. Su Han seemed to realize something, so he said with some embarrassment, If this question involves personal privacy, I am sorry, please don't mind Mr. Gao.
Gao Ming smiled and said that there is no privacy problem, in fact, I can say that I have no hobbies. In my spare time, I read books and surf the Internet.
Su Han looked at Gao Ming in disbelief and didn't ask him anything.
Gao Ming suddenly remembered one thing, in order to facilitate work communication, the press department set up a WeChat group, but Su Han found various excuses and refused to join. Not only that, no one in the press department added her WeChat, and even Ren Jian didn't know Su Han's WeChat account. remembers that once Ren Jian asked her for it, but Su Han said that she was not on WeChat, because many memories made her unhappy. At that time, Ren Jian was very unhappy, but Gao Ming didn't care too much, thinking that this was understandable. Because a girl like Su Han must pay attention to protecting her privacy.
Gao Ming didn't know, in fact, Su Han didn't dare to add her colleague's WeChat, there was only one reason, because she used "Little White Rabbit" to add Gao Ming. If the matter is exposed, she will not be able to explain it to Gao Ming.
They arrived at Sakura Pavilion, just in time for the dinner rush. Gao Ming let Su Han get out of the car first, and he finally found a parking space. After parking the car, the two walked into the restaurant and took a look, and the private seat didn't have to think about it at all. However, as luck would have it, a waiter soon took them to a newly vacated two-seater, cleaned the table and arranged for them to sit down.
Gao Ming took the menu and asked Su Han to order it himself. He looked left and right, the environment seemed to be very unfamiliar, but it still seemed so familiar, and a very sad feeling instantly welled up in his heart. The goddess loved Sakura Pavilion's sashimi and miso soup, and at that time she came at least two or three times a week. Gao Ming hadn't set foot in Sakura Pavilion for ten years since she left, because the memories it left here were too painful. Gao Ming brought Su Han here at this time not on a whim, but to use the goddess of remembrance to warn himself: he must not have non-work contact with Su Han.
Su Han ordered sashimi, vegetable salad and miso soup, then handed the menu to Gao Ming for him to order. Gao Ming looked at Su Han's recipe, and was taken aback, and he didn't dare to think about anything anymore. He ordered a Sapporo ramen and a tempura, and then ordered the waiter to order the menu.
After the waiter left, Gao Ming asked Su Han and said Xiao Su, what can you say now?
Su Han thought about it and said seriously, I really don't know where to start. Suddenly picked up the brown paper document bag and put it in front of Gao Ming, and said Director Gao, you take a look at this first.
Gao Ming opened the file bag, took out those forms, and after reading them for a long time, he didn't know what they meant, so he raised his head and looked at Su Han in confusion.
Unexpectedly, Su Han laughed and said, Director Gao, did you see something?
Gao Ming shook his head and said that he didn't know what these numbers meant?
Su Han said that when I first saw these numbers, I felt the same as you do now. Then he said something Chen Zhicheng said to her without reservation. The meals they each ordered had already been delivered, but no one cared about eating.
Gao Ming listened to Su Han's story, and was silent for a while, and then asked, Xiao Su, why are you telling me this?
Su Han looked at Gao Ming silently with a very special gaze, and said after a while, Teacher Gao, among all the people I know in the unit, I only trust you.
Gao Ming laughed self-deprecatingly, and said Su Han, you think too highly of me! I'm afraid this time, I'm going to disappoint you.
Su Han shook his head firmly, and said that although I don't understand many things, I believe that my eyes will not look at the wrong person. Mr. Gao, I believe you are a good person.
Gao Ming looked up at Su Han, and stopped talking.
Su Han's pure and beautiful face didn't seem to have any expression, she looked at Gao Ming quietly, her eyes were very pure, like a pool of clear water, which made people see the bottom at a glance.
Gao Ming felt that he really couldn't live up to Su Han's trust, but when he thought of the rights and wrongs she was about to face, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for her.
After pondering for a long time, Gao Ming finally spoke, Su Han, I will give you two suggestions. But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it, so he quickly stopped and swallowed back everything he didn't say.
Su Han looked at Gao Ming with blank eyes, waiting for him to speak, but when he stopped again, he urged him pitifully, and said Teacher Gao, why don't you say it?
Gao Ming said Su Han, to be honest, I really don't want to see you involved in this kind of right and wrong.
Su Han was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then slowly lowered his gaze, and said after a while, Teacher Gao, you're not complaining about me being nosy, right?
Gao Ming didn't speak, but he had a little bit of this meaning in his heart. Su Han is not stupid, so he naturally understands Gao Ming's thoughts, so he feels very aggrieved.
After holding it for a while, Su Han couldn't help but defend himself, saying that in fact, I can't be blamed for this, I didn't look for something, it was something that came to me. Teacher Gao, think about it for me, since my classmate told me about this, even if I pretend to be deaf and dumb, if something really happens, can I explain it clearly?
Gao Ming thought about Su Han's words carefully, and found that what he said was indeed very reasonable, but he didn't think of this layer just now, and he felt sorry in his heart. So he smiled, put the sashimi, miso soup and vegetable salad that Su Han ordered in front of her one by one, and said to eat some quickly, and she only cared about talking for a while.
Su Han lowered his head and ate a few pieces of raw fish, then suddenly stopped again, and said Teacher Gao, what advice did you just say you wanted to give me two?
Gao Ming said a little embarrassed, it was originally two, but now there is only one.
Su Han asked why?
Gao Ming said that I didn't think of those questions you just said, so I didn't think about it well, and the first suggestion was to keep you out of the matter, which seems unlikely.
Su Han said what about the second one?
Gao Ming didn't speak first, but put all the forms into a file bag, handed them to Su Han, and lowered his voice but said in an aggravated tone, You put this away and don't tell anyone. And don't tell anyone that you told me about it. Then you go to see Mr. Huang alone, remember, it must be alone! And it's best not to let anyone know that you have seen Mr. Huang alone. I said this, it is very important to you, remember?
Su Han nodded vigorously and did not speak. From the expression and tone of Gao Ming's speech, she already realized the seriousness of the problem. Who will be involved in this matter and what the consequences may be, Su Han has not seriously thought about it before. Thinking about it carefully at this moment, things are really complicated, it is not as simple as Su Han originally thought, and she is starting to be a little scared.
Su Han thought about it for a while, and asked Gao Ming Teacher Gao, if I didn't go to see Mr. Huang and directly sent these materials to him anonymously, would the effect be the same?
Gao Ming smiled when he heard this, and said that the little girl knew that she was afraid?
Su Han blushed and nodded, saying that he was really a little scared.
Gao Ming said that in fact, you yourself understand that since your classmates saw you, you can't hide from this if you want to. But you don't have to be afraid, let me tell you that, because whether you mix it or not, it will happen.
Su Han said Teacher Gao, I don't understand what you mean.
Gao Ming said then I'll talk about Tianyu first, I've heard of this company, the boss seems to be surnamed Tang, it is said that not only has a background but also I am quite capable, I haven't heard of any big bad deeds. Of course, Tianyu's strength can't be compared with He Fei, but Feixun's Mr. Zhao is definitely not an opponent.
Su Han listened quietly to Gao Ming's words, and never interjected again. After thinking about it in his heart, Gao Ming said that in fact, judging from the information that Tianyu has mastered, whether there is a classmate relationship with you or not, Chen Zhicheng will come to fight for this contract. If Tianyu fails to achieve his goal, it is likely that he will shake out some insider information. In that case, someone in the newspaper must be unlucky, and if they can't eat, they will have to go around.
Su Han was very nervous when he heard these words, so he asked him, Mr. Gao, in your opinion, who are estimated to be involved?
Gao Ming shook his head and said that this is not good. Originally, he didn't want to be too specific, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth. So he said that the situation on the side of Feixun and Sunshine Group is not very clear, but on the newspaper side, I don't say that you can also think that Director Xiang and Mr. Liu know about these things, it is estimated that it is difficult to say.
Gao Ming's words were like a hammer, hitting Su Han's heart heavily. No matter what, Mr. Liu helped her after all, and Su Han never wanted to see him fall on his head in this matter. She had heard some rumors about Mr. Liu, so she sweated for him.
Gao Ming looked at Su Han's face, and naturally knew what she was thinking, so he changed the angle of the conversation, and said Xiao Su, you have to think clearly, if someone really does something illegal, then no one can help him. Even if you stay out of this matter, can you stop Tianyu and let them go?
Su Han shook his head and said that I don't have that much ability, to be honest, in fact, I don't have any friendship with Chen Zhicheng at all.
Gao Ming said So, I suggest you go to see Mr. Huang, just to take this into account. If you send the information to Mr. Huang anonymously, many important situations will not be explained clearly, for example, you and Chen Zhicheng are classmates. Besides, if Mr. Huang can't confirm the authenticity of the information, he is likely to treat it as a rumor or a false accusation and ignore it.
Su Han said pitifully, but I'm really afraid to go to see Mr. Huang alone.
Gao Ming said Su Han, if you trust me, you should trust Mr. Huang even more, because Mr. Huang is my most respected leader in terms of work and personality.
Su Han said in disbelief, "Really?" I am especially afraid that Mr. Huang will misunderstand me.
Gao Ming said Su Han, don't worry, I dare to guarantee that Mr. Huang will never be.
Su Han looked at Gao Ming, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and began to stare and ponder.
Gao Ming saw that Su Han's attitude had changed, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said I thought about it seriously, as long as Tianyu tosses this matter over there, whether you find Mr. Huang or not, he will soon know, and you will be more or less involved at that time, so it is better to take the initiative. I think you have at least two major advantages to find Mr. Huang first: with my understanding of Mr. Huang, he will definitely not let go. As long as Mr. Huang takes action, he can stop the situation from developing in a bad direction. At the same time, with Mr. Huang's personality, he will do his best to protect you after knowing and will not let you be hurt by those gossips.
After listening to Gao Ming's words, Su Han suddenly felt that the pressure had eased a lot, and his heart gradually became less nervous. She thought quietly for a while, and finally made up her mind, then raised her head and said to Gao Ming, Teacher Gao, I listen to you!
Gao Ming smiled at her kindly, and said hurry up and eat, the soup is cold, right?
Su Han didn't eat anything seriously in the plum garden at noon, and he didn't eat two bites of the bowl of beef noodles in the small restaurant. I tasted the sashimi and miso soup carefully, and although I thought it tasted good, I didn't have much appetite for some reason, so I didn't eat much. Seeing this, Gao Ming thought that she was not used to eating RB cuisine, so he didn't persuade her anymore.
After eating, Gao Ming insisted on sending Su Han downstairs to the apartment before driving home.
