He raised his eyes to look at the suspicious gazes in the Ji family, nodded awkwardly, turned around in the car, and quickly left Qingyang Mountain.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng, a reporter from Yuji who was hiding in the shadows, looked excitedly at the photos stored in the camera, and was very proud.

The mayor's son went to the door of Ji's house, the underworld boss of T City, for several days in a row to linger and be melancholy, and always used the excuse of looking for classmates, which is really interesting. If this news were to be published on the front page, it would have been explosive news.

Regardless of whether they really have anything to do with each other in private, the gathering of black and white people is bound to make people in T City suspicious, and there will definitely be a frenzy on the Internet.

Zhang Cheng quietly disappeared into the corner, and on the way down the mountain, he had been thinking in his heart that the boss would definitely give a promotion and a salary increase this time. Moreover, he will soon become a well-known journalist in the entertainment industry, and his value will definitely increase many times......

In this way, Zhang Cheng returned to Yuji Company with a sweet dream and directly found the company's boss, Mr. Zheng.

Before that, he had already handed over some information about Duanmu Heng to Mr. Zheng, hoping that he could fully support his actions.

Mr. Zheng saw that the selling point of this news was very high, and he nodded and praised Zhang Cheng's approach before.

However, as soon as Zhang Cheng entered Mr. Zheng's office, he obviously felt that the atmosphere in the office was not quite right.

After closing the door, Zhang Cheng walked to Mr. Zheng's desk, nodded and said, "Mr. Zheng, I just took another set of photos, and this time I heard that Duanmu Heng was looking for Ji Sanshao's wife......

"Xiao Zhang, listen to me first." Mr. Zheng stood up awkwardly, walked around the desk to Zhang Cheng, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "I know, you have secretly suffered a lot for this news, and even bothered to avoid the monitoring system of Ling Tian Group, you are indeed a rare good reporter, what we lack most in entertainment is a talent like you." ”

Zhang Cheng's vanity was filled, he happily raised the corners of his lips, swept away the weird feeling just now, and said modestly: "It is Mr. Zheng and the team leader who are well educated, and our subordinates will work diligently and strive to find better news reports for the company." ”

Mr. Zheng's eyes flashed with a touch of unbearability, if it weren't for the order from above, he also hoped that the news that every employee under his staff had worked hard to come to could be published and reported.

But......

Mr. Zheng sighed lightly, looked at Zhang Cheng helplessly, and said with emotion: "I will give you double the bonus for your news." However, this news can only be destroyed, not printed and reported, let alone leaked. ”

Zhang Cheng was still immersed in the joy of being praised by Mr. Zheng, and suddenly felt as if he had been poured cold water.

His voice was much higher, shrill and full of questions: "Why?!" You've already agreed to it, and I've been squatting in the winter for a while......"

"I know all of this, but I also have to do it." Mr. Zheng comforted Zhang Cheng and asked him to sit on the chair, and after he returned to the office chair, he crossed his hands on the table, and said earnestly, "Xiao Zhang, we still have the General Administration covering us, so after you tell me about it, I will submit it and wait for review." Who knows, Mayor Duanmu knew about it and ordered this news not to be reported, otherwise all the news media in T City would collapse in an instant. And our company is only a relatively large enterprise, but after all, it can't fight the General Administration, let alone the mayor of Duanmu. ”

Zhang Cheng's face was red and white for a while, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, he pursed his lips, his brows furrowed tightly, "Mr. Zheng, this is too unfair to us, why can Mayor Duanmu cover the sky with one hand?" His son has always had dealings with the underworld's Ling Tian Group, hasn't he violated people's moral bottom line? Black and white do not intersect, but they are desperate to deal with the underworld, which is simply corrupting fashion! For such behavior, we should crack down on and expose it, instead of blindly tending to the flames! ”

"Zhang Cheng!" Mr. Zheng's face was slightly stiff, and he was also a little weak-hearted. He frowned and said coldly, "You're right, I'm indeed a tending to the flames. But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Now we are just chasing after the wind, and there is no definite evidence. If you poke this matter out strongly, then the consequences we have to bear are simply immeasurable. At that time, the defendant may be slandered or framed, not only you and I have no job or even bankruptcy, but even those hard-working employees outside have no work to do! ”

Zhang Cheng's mind was buzzing, he understood all these things that Mr. Zheng said, remembering that his newlywed wife was just three months pregnant, and the child had not yet been born, did she have no husband? And now that I have a stable job, it is also excellent for my family.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had no chance of winning by exposing this news that I was not fully sure of, let alone any benefit at all, and Zhang Cheng was forced to give in to the status quo in his heart.

"How is it, Xiao Zhang, have you thought about it?" Mr. Zheng's expression also became calm, he knew that in the face of interests and the status quo, no one would be uncompromising.

Zhang Cheng lowered his shoulders lonely, and said lightly: "Listen to Mr. Zheng, I know." ”

"Okay, you go out first, and then destroy it after all the materials are organized. Remember, you can't leave any clues, otherwise you won't be able to keep your job, and I'm afraid you'll have to bear the consequences when you are taken to court. Mr. Zheng solemnly reminded him.

"I am measured, thank you Mr. Zheng for the reminder." After speaking, Zhang Cheng turned around and walked out.

He irritably took the photos and the materials he had organized, walked to the shredder in the workshop, and went in to shred them directly, even the photos and materials archived in the USB flash drive were all taken to the computer and deleted, leaving nothing behind.

In the end, Zhang Cheng hung his head sadly and looked at a blank piece of paper on the table in a daze.

At this time, the colleague next to him turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "What, Mr. Zheng criticized you just now?" It doesn't make sense, two days ago, Mr. Zheng praised you to you, you have been doing well recently. So those of us guessed that you might be chasing some big news. ”

As he spoke, he moved his swivel chair and stepped forward, and said in a mysterious whisper: "Hey, we have such a good relationship, can you tell me a little news?" ”

Zhang Cheng had too many tears in his eyes, and he chased hard for days, just to be praised by his colleagues after the news was published. But now, his mood has plummeted, where is there still a ridiculous mentality?

The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt, he lay on the table with an irritated face, and said impatiently: "Don't bother me, I lost all the information, where is there any news!" ”

"Hmm...... Okay, then you mourn and change. The colleague patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder sympathetically, he knew that for a reporter, the loss of reporting materials was more serious than anything else, so he didn't joke with Zhang Cheng anymore.

There was a soft "click", and Zhang Cheng's tears fell gently on the white paper. The light through the gap could be seen as it slowly faded away on the paper and finally dried up.

Zhang Cheng shook his shoulders in pain, and all his enthusiasm for Duanmu Heng was scattered in his heart, and he cried silently.

Duanmu Heng drove around the city for half a circle, and the gloomy mood became slightly better.

He went home, parked his car and walked into the hall.

was about to walk upstairs, when he suddenly heard a deep voice shouting from the sofa in the living room: "Xiao Heng, come here!" ”

Duanmu Heng turned his head in surprise and saw that it was his father Duanmu Shenzhi.

He walked over and smiled faintly, "Dad, why are you at home now?" ”

Usually Duanmu Shenzhi is very busy, so Duanmu Heng felt very surprised. But seeing his father's pale face, his heart also "chuckled", stood in front of his father in astonishment, and asked puzzledly, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

Duanmu Shenzhi stood up, looked at his son, who had always been well-behaved and outstanding, frowned and said: "Xiaoheng, your mother and I have trusted you since we were children, and even knew that you were a child who knew how to be measured and motivated. Now I have something I need to tell you, whether you pay attention to proportion or not, you will see how to do it yourself in the future. ”

Duanmu Heng nodded solemnly, "Dad, you can say it." ”

"You have been going to Qingyang Mountain a lot recently, as for who lives there, I believe you know better than me." Duanmu Shenzhi sighed earnestly, he wanted to be angry with his son, but after seeing him, he couldn't bear it.

Hearing his father say this, Duanmu Heng hung his head in embarrassment. Only then did he clearly realize that the Ji family in Qingyang Mountain not only lived An Qianchen, but also the home of the number one person in the underworld. When he was a child, he begged his parents to adopt An Qianchen, but after being persuaded by his mother, he had to compromise.

Although his parents didn't mention this matter later, he could vaguely understand what they meant.

And Duanmu Shenzhi thought about the same thing as Duanmu Heng, since An Qianchen has married Ji Yubei, she is someone else's wife, and her son can't disturb her life even if he likes it. What's more, An Qianchen married the resolute Ji Sanshao of the Ling Tian Group.

After a pause, Duanmu Shinyuki continued: "As the son of the mayor of T City, you should know that there are many people in the media who pay attention to your every move. Since ancient times, black and white do not intersect, and anyone who breaks these rules will cause unnecessary trouble. If I hadn't gotten the news in time, tomorrow morning, the fact that you often go to Ji's house would have made headlines in major newspapers and online media. At that time, some people who are chasing after the wind and shadows will add oil and vinegar to make speeches, and our Duanmu family will be completely smeared. And I, as the mayor, am destined to not be on your side, and I am likely to be attacked by public opinion. ”

Duanmu Heng's heart was shocked, his face was red and white, he pursed his lips slightly, in fact, he also understood what his father meant.

The identity of the father is very embarrassing, and if he is involved in the underworld, it will inevitably affect the game. When the time comes, it will not only be the mayor's position that will be secured, but the negative reports will follow.

He nodded seriously and said softly, "Dad, I understand." I'll pay attention to it in the future, so don't worry. ”

"Hmm. I still have something to deal with that needs to be dealt with, so you can reflect on it at home. Duanmu Shenzhi bowed his head in satisfaction, thinking that his son would give up his attachment to An Qianchen, picked up the briefcase on the sofa, and hurried to the meeting again.

Duanmu Heng sent his father to the door, and only after seeing the car disappear at the door, did he turn around and walk back.

He closed his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his tired face, today had just begun, his facial expression had changed several times, and he was almost exhausted.

He dragged his heavy steps upstairs, and on his expressionless face, the slightly trembling eyes revealed the hesitation in his heart.

If he could really forget An Qianchen's words, then in the past ten years, he would have forgotten it a long time ago.

However, I can't forget it, but I have a feeling that I am getting deeper and deeper, how can this be good?

Duanmu Heng walked up blankly, but his heart sank little by little.

Qianchen, what should I do? How can I stop thinking about you?

Shaking his head in annoyance, let's go with the flow, his mood has been in a state of confusion for the past few days, and he can't think about problems at all. Except for An Qianchen in his mind, the others were lighter than floating clouds.

Since having sex with Duanmu Heng that night, Lan Weiyan has been resting at home.

Sometimes, her eyes are a little demented, and she doesn't even want to go out of the room.

Duanmu Heng never came to find him, he shouldn't know that he mistook himself for An Qianchen that night, right?

She frowned sadly, her legs curled up and her hands around her, her chin resting limply on her knees, and she was thinking about when she should go to school.

What's more, she didn't know how she was going to face Duanmu Heng.

Duanmu's mother knocked on the door, and when she saw that her daughter did not answer, she directly twisted the door and walked in.

"Weiyan, are you feeling better? I just boiled chicken soup again, do you want to drink more? Mother Lan sat on the edge of the bed and said softly.

"Huh?" Lan Weiyan came back to her senses, and when she saw her mother's kind smile, her heart warmed, "Thank you, Mom, I haven't been busy with schoolwork recently, and I'll go to school when my body recovers." You can rest assured that you will get a good score in the final exam at the end of the year. ”

In the past few days, she has said that she has a headache, and after that night, she really has a cold, a runny nose and a cough, and she has just gotten better since yesterday.

When she said these words, Lan Weiyan felt a little weak-hearted, and felt that it was very bad to deceive her mother like this, but she had to continue to lie.

Mother Lan patted her daughter's shoulder kindly, explained a few more words, and then turned around and went out.
