Hanging up the phone, Su Xiaoyan was irritable. By her temperament, she was reluctant to get involved in these deals, let alone get involved. But her faint worry still made her go to the newspaper to find Ke Hui.

"Our leader talked to me, but I didn't find it. I didn't pursue it. Ke Hui waved the memory card in his hand and continued a little proudly: "I usually use to bring two cards. ”

"If you're taking pictures in pursuit of the truth, I can understand that." Su Xiaoyan felt that Ke Hui was very strange for the first time, "If it's for money, I really can't accept it." ”

"Our job is to make money take pictures." Ke Hui said: "If the family of the deceased asks me for these photos, I will give him the money." It's only when a photo is turned into money that it truly reflects its value. ”

"But, Ke Hui, I think journalism must reflect impartiality." Su Xiaoyan said: "If Tianyi does not take responsibility, or other things that damage the truth, then your photo as evidence truly reflects its value." ”

"Xiaoyan, have you been away from the news system for too long? We work hard every day to run the news, which is not as good as a word from advertisers. How many of my hard-working photographs and news have been shot by interest and power. You talk to me about values? Now how much advertising can be pulled for the newspaper to reflect the value. ”

"Tianyi will accept the handling opinions according to the requirements of responsibility, and they will not change anything because of your photos!"

"Wouldn't it be better, I followed my original intention as a photojournalist and posted the event on the Internet. Xiaoyan, if you don't want to help me, I don't embarrass you, I have my own methods and principles for doing things. ”

Su Xiaoyan wanted to ask Ke Hui how much money she wanted for a moment, but her long-term literacy made her unable to open this mouth at all. "Ke Hui, I hope to move you, don't turn this matter into a transaction to satisfy your selfish desires. Giving them a big favor doesn't do you any harm and the newspaper. ”

Ke Hui lowered his head and said softly, "Let me think about it." I'm not so easily moved, though. ”

Su Xiaoyan walked out a little disappointed and called Fan Chengze.

"Did he agree to delete the photos?"

"Agreed, but ......" Su Xiaoyan said hesitantly, "Can I talk to you in person?" ”

"Yes. I'm on the 20th floor of Tianyi Building. Call me when it's time to arrive. Fan Chengze hung up the phone in a hurry, listening to his voice, he seemed to be busy.

When she arrived downstairs at Tianyi Company, Chen Juesen was already waiting for her in the lobby, and he politely took her to the 20th floor by special elevator.

This is the first time Su Xiaoyan has been so close to Fan Chengze's world. Behind the heavy mahogany door, there was still a heated discussion. Chen Juesen took her to the small reception room, where she couldn't sit still, pacing, with a few computer drawings of skyscrapers hanging on the wall, a few pothos plants on the table, and the coffee that Chen Juesen poured gradually diffused with fragrance. However, none of this could ease her nervousness.

Chen Juesen and Fan Chengze came over quickly. Su Xiaoyan looked embarrassed and said apologetically: "I can't persuade him to take the initiative to delete the photos." You don't have to talk to their leaders anymore. After all, he is a journalist within the system, and he is controlled. ”

"Oh. I'm afraid that if he doesn't admit it, it will be passed on to others when the time comes. Fan Chengze said: "Did he make any requests?" ”

Su Xiaoyan felt ashamed in his heart, although he was no longer a journalist, he really couldn't agree with this kind of behavior. This is the first time she has been in such a naked transaction.

"He felt that he filmed and should be paid." Su Xiaoyan said as tactfully as possible.

Fan Chengze's face really showed the smile she didn't want to see, causing her cheeks to burn slightly.

"How much?"

"I didn't ask, I think I could convince him."

"Spend money to eliminate disasters, it's fine."

As soon as Su Xiaoyan raised his head, he suddenly saw Fan Chengguang walking outside the reception room, and he felt nervous for no reason. "Then I'll go back, you're so busy."

Fan Chengze glanced at her deeply, showed his tiredness in front of her, and rubbed her a little deliberately. Su Xiaoyan didn't refuse this little intimacy, but just said softly: "Pay attention to your body." Don't drink too much coffee. ”

This night, Su Xiaoyan didn't sleep well.

The next day, Xiaomei had already begun to talk about the accident at the Tianyi construction site, except for painting and describing some strange things that happened, there was no substantive content.

In the afternoon, just as the door was about to close, Ke Hui ran in angrily.

"Su Xiaoyan, I didn't expect you to be such a person. If you want to share the money, you just say it, and I'm not unwilling to share. Tianyi gave you so much hard work, you actually collaborated with them to blackmail me. Ke Hui looked at Su Xiaoyan, who was at a loss, and continued to say, "Don't pretend to be innocent. I'm just sad to see you wrong! ”

"What are you talking about?"

In Ke Hui's excited words, Su Xiaoyan heard what had happened. In the morning, Tianyi sent someone to negotiate with Ke Hui, but Ke Hui didn't believe it and didn't say anything. Because the other party said that he had talked to Su Xiaoyan, in order to prove the relationship with Su Xiaoyan, he also said some details of Su Xiaoyan's divorce, which won Ke Hui's trust and agreed to give 30,000 yuan.

"Zhao Yu?" Su Xiaoyan felt a chill, his methods were not what Ke Hui and himself could imagine. Why didn't she think that Zhao Yu and Fan Chengguang would be good and familiar with Fan Chengze, so maybe Fan Chengze would have known about these things about her divorce.

After taking the money, Ke Hui gave the memory card and emphasized that he could ask a professional to see if it had been copied. Just when he was complacent, he was approached in the afternoon to talk about someone reporting him for extorting business. The other party did not immediately put him to death, and did not send the recording materials to him.

"Ke Hui, it's wrong for you to blackmail others like this. Now I'm going to help you talk about it, get the money back and tell them not to report it. ”

"I've been suspended, and I'm afraid they won't make it."

"No, I have something to do with them, I'll help you settle this matter."

"Don't cry cats and fake mercy. How about me, you don't have to worry about it. That's the end of our cooperation. You keep saying how many shares you want to give me, and I'm quitting now, and if you want to give me shares, don't break your promise. Farewell! ”

Su Xiaoyan could only watch this friend become strangers from then on. Ke Hui doesn't understand, if you have wealth, you can have talents, you can be powerful, and it is not easy to destroy him. If he doesn't get carried away by these interests, how can he be blackmailed. Immediately afterward, the frustration of being exploited immediately replaced these feelings. Since Tianyi's means are so clever, and the situation has been reversed in half a day, why should Fan Chengze find himself as a middleman?

Fan Chengze's phone has not been able to get through, and Su Xiaoyan feels that if it is through, what can she say? In their eyes, Ke Hui and his ilk are nothing more than small people who make small profits, can they still intercede for him? At that moment, Su Xiaoyan felt that she was so far away from Fan Chengze's world.

Fan Chengguang praised Zhao Yu for doing this "little thing" clean and beautiful.

"These people should be punished if they want to get something for nothing. When the meeting is about to start, you can tell me the details of the compensation. Fan Chengguang suddenly thought of something again, paused, and asked, "Aze is very familiar with that Su Xiaoyan?" ”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "Maybe the last anniversary celebration was closer. ”

"You're going to have to scout. This woman, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, should not be underestimated. ”

"I don't know what I said, let you have such a bad impression of her, Xiaoyan is very good."

"This matter, it's obvious that she came to blackmail together!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, I don't want to discuss it without evidence." Let's get to the point. He really couldn't connect Su Xiaoyan with Fan Chengze, in his opinion, Fan Chengguang was just looking for trouble and nervous.

Before the meeting, the two brothers met in private.

"I asked Zhao Yu to deal with the photo matter. No problem. There is no need to talk about it when the meeting begins. ”

"The reporter agreed so readily?"

"Of course, spending money is a small thing, and there is no need to mention it. On the question of compensation, I will discuss it with you. The amount is drawn up according to the relevant requirements, and our company can accept it. But in terms of payment, I built yì installments, and you insisted on paying in one lump sum at the previous meeting. ”

"I think that the family continues to make trouble, which is not good for the construction site and the future opening. Settle while it's hot, and it's good for both parties. ”

"At the end of the year, funds are already tight, and it is not a small amount to withdraw more than 2 million at once. Now you're actually talking about your dad and the shareholders. Aze, my brother doesn't disagree, but he's afraid that people's hearts are insufficient, and things are not so easy to solve. Fan Chengguang looked helpless.

"I will respect the opinion of the Dà family." Fan Chengze held back and didn't argue anymore, and the brothers walked into the conference room.

The accident at the Tianyi construction site did not appear in any newspapers, and the family of the deceased quickly received compensation. For this reason, the Ministry of Construction also particularly affirmed and praised Tianyi's approach and won back a sympathy vote. Fan Chengze's composure and gentleness in the handling of the accident made his foundation in Tianyi a little stronger.

But after all, it was not a happy thing, after dealing with the matter, Fan Chengze deliberately went to the scene to take a look, and when he was self-examining and self-correcting, he also found some potential safety hazards on the construction site. His original intention of leaving the company next year was gradually changed by these things.

As he was leaving, he also saw a man wandering there, and hurriedly went up to dissuade him: "How did you get in?" The construction site is stopped, you go out. ”

When he came back, he specially explained to the doorman before leaving.

Before returning to the apartment, he still habitually passed by Su Xiaoyan's studio to have a look. This time the door is closed. He remembered that Su Xiao had called a few days ago, and he had never been able to reply to him. Now that he finally let go of his worries, he pulled over and made a call to Su Xiaoyan.

"The accident has finally been dealt with, thank you for your help."

"Oh. Just take care of it. To Ke Hui, I hope you can be merciful. ”

"What's wrong with Ke Hui? I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Ask your lawyer, I'm hanging."

"Xiaoyan!" Fan Chengze was confused and dialed Zhao Yu's phone. After listening to the call, he frowned. He sighed, why was there always so many irrelevant things between him and Su Xiaoyan. Their tomorrow, like a long, dark night, makes people gradually lose hope.
