Chapter 243: Chasing the Wind and Shadows
When Lin Qingrou received Du Hongming's call, she was making various preparations for the opening of the tea room. She had been busy for two or three hours when she woke up early this morning, and she hadn't even been able to take care of her meals during that time. Since Song Miao and Jiang He had such a serious problem, Lin Qingrou was very considerate and asked Song Miao not to worry about the affairs of the tea room for the time being, and she herself took on more workload for this.
In such a busy state, Lin Qingrou didn't care about other things at all, and of course she wouldn't know what kind of focus events were released on the pages of the news media today. And the purpose of Du Hongming's call to Lin Qingrou was precisely for a news report related to the two of them.
After Lin Qingrou slapped Xu Lu twice at the Second Municipal Hospital last time, it seems that someone at the scene used a mobile phone to record the scene of the conflict. However, due to the incomplete filming process, only the clip of Lin Qingrou's beating was recorded as a video and circulated.
It wasn't that big in the first place, at most it was spread on social media as an interesting story for a while, and when time passed, no one would remember it.
However, sometimes there are always some coincidences. After the video was circulated, a media reporter reportedly recognized the man in the video as resembling Du Hongming, the president of Hongming Group. As a media worker who is good at creating news topics, he quickly found an opportunity in it.
He researched and interpreted the content of the video, paired it with text that he had speculated entirely on, and then rearranged it and finally turned it into a news event that was published today.
Of course, the journalist's official report of the incident is complete nonsense. The news report claimed that Du Hongming, the president of Hongming Group, was deeply involved in a triangular relationship and that a violent clash broke out between three people at the No. 2 Municipal Hospital, in which a woman suspected of being Du Hongming's girlfriend beat up a female doctor surnamed Xu at the hospital.
When Du Hongming saw this news report, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He's certainly used to being the focus of attention. In fact, since he quietly returned to China and unexpectedly joined the Hongming Group, he has become one of the focus figures that the news media refuses to let go.
And there is another person who enjoys the same treatment as him is Du Zeming, and the intricate relationship between them is called a brother in a wealthy family by the outside world. The famous Hongming Group split incident has been spread in all walks of life, and has become the focus of heated discussions several times.
After learning of this news report, Du Hongming called Lin Qingrou as soon as possible. He personally absolutely didn't care about these completely marginal news reports, but he was very concerned about whether Lin Qingrou would feel unhappy because of this.
After all, Lin Qingrou was innocent and implicated this time, and in the story compiled by this reporter, her image was almost deliberately distorted and smeared, and she became a very important focus in this completely fabricated story.
And the reason why she got such treatment was because of her two heavy slaps. This move is so topical, so it is also a news material that the news media will definitely use to make good use.
When Du Hongming told Lin Qingrou the content of this news report on the phone, Lin Qingrou just said very indifferently that she already knew, and it seemed that she didn't want to pay attention to the news at all.
For Ms. Lin, she had been frequently featured in the news media before. Those media reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic paid special attention to Lin Qingrou, who was still Du Zeming's wife at the time, and thus edited the various things that happened between her and Du Zeming, and then made them public.
Lin Qingrou told Du Hongming that there was no need to worry about her because of this kind of thing. Because such things are really commonplace for her, not to mention that now she is busy with her own career, and she has no time to pay attention to such meaningless things.
After listening to Lin Qingrou's words, Du Hongming not only relieved his heart, but also admired Lin Qingrou's current mood and bearing. However, even though Lin Qingrou said that he would not be affected by this, Du Hongming immediately made his own response, that is, to use various channels to put pressure on the media companies that reported the news, so as to quickly eliminate the negative impact of this incident to the greatest extent.
This is very important to Du Hongming, who is in a deep position, and he also needs to pay attention to his external image, and at the same time eliminate Lin Qingrou's implicated relationship in time. Now the outside world has not figured out that the person who beat people in this video is Lin Qingrou, and if they find out about this fact, then the situation will become even more complicated.
With Lin Qingrou's identity as Du Zeming's wife, if it was maliciously speculated by those good deeds, it was possible to make this originally very ordinary thing known to everyone and completely distort the facts.
At this time, almost at the same time, Du Zeming also made the decision to suppress this news report, which should be the first time that he and Du Hongming have maintained such a tacit understanding.
Compared with Du Hongming's calm response, when Du Zeming saw this report, he almost smashed the entire table heavily. He didn't completely believe in these contents that had been exaggerated by the media, but even so, he definitely didn't want Lin Qingrou and Du Hongming's names to have such a connection, and they appeared in the same frame to be made public.
This is a scandal, an incident that would not have anything to do with him, but if the outside world finds out that it was Lin Qingrou who beat someone in the hospital, someone will definitely take out her former identity and make a fuss.
After contacting the public relations company to deal with it, Du Zeming felt that it was necessary for him to meet with Lin Qingrou to talk. Although he didn't know what identity and position he should use to warn Lin Qingrou to check his behavior, the impulse in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
Similarly, Liu Anfei also saw this report. She is happy to see such similar content appear in the newspapers, because regardless of whether the content of the report is realistic or not, as long as it can be proved that there is a close connection between Lin Qingrou and Du Hongming, then it will only be good news for her.
The morning when I learned the news, it should have been when Liu Anfei was in a good mood. But what gave her a big headache soon came to her door. Because Liu Zhibin was never found, those loan sharks had to come to her again.
This time, these people are no longer so easy to speak, their expressions are serious, it seems that if they don't get a satisfactory answer today, they will definitely not give up, Liu Anfei knew that these people would definitely come, but he didn't expect to come so soon.
"Miss Liu, we believed you last time about Liu Zhibin, so let you contact him as soon as possible. It's been a while now, and you haven't given us a satisfactory answer, so we can't just keep waiting, right? "As soon as the leader exits, he has a posture of saluting first and then soldiering.
Liu Anfei knew that this time she would not be fooled around like last time, for these people, once they were forced to do anything, she couldn't let the scene get out of control, especially let their gang breed right and wrong in their own law firm.
"I've been contacting him, but the phone hasn't gotten through. He didn't tell me exactly where he went, so please give me some more time, and I'll contact you as soon as he has news. Liu Anfei said earnestly.
These words did not have the effect she expected, and the stout man who took the lead slapped her table heavily, looking particularly impatient. This move immediately attracted the attention of colleagues in the firm, and even in a separate office, this movement just now was definitely able to make people outside notice the abnormality.
Soon, a colleague who happened to pass by at the door pushed the door in, and after seeing the unusual atmosphere inside, he asked Liu Anfei with concern if he needed help. Liu Anfei naturally couldn't let him know that what he was dealing with now was a private matter.
She tried her best to show a calm appearance, telling herself that this colleague did not need any special help, but a few clients had some opinions of their own, so she was a little more emotionally excited, and her colleague looked at the people in front of her with some suspicion, but still obeyed Liu Anfei's words and retreated.
Seeing this, Liu Anfei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she said to these people: "I think so, since you don't trust me so much, I can repay a part of the amount to you for Liu Zhibin first, so that you can also have an explanation." As for the rest of the part, I still need you to give me time to find Liu Zhibin, you can rest assured that I am always here and can find me at any time. ”
This is a response that Liu Anfei has already planned before, and only after those superficial perfunctory words are completely ineffective for them, she will put forward this suggestion in a timely manner, which can be regarded as to prevent them from making trouble here and calming things down.
After discussing it with each other, they finally agreed to Liu Anfei's proposal. For them, there is nothing more meaningful than actually taking in the money, it is easy to say anything if they can get the money back, and they also know very well that Liu Anfei is a decent person who wants to save face, and she will not let them make a big disturbance here.
After some deliberation and calculation, Liu Anfei agreed to the repayment amount demanded by these people, although it was not a particularly large number, but the hatred for Liu Zhibin in her heart deepened a little.
