Chapter 21: Snow White and the Seven Deadly Sins
Tong Beibei originally wanted to discuss the topic selection with Lao Bai, but before he could say a few words, he received a call from the front desk lady.
"Tong Beibei, someone is looking for you at the door." The front desk lady was not very polite to Tong Beibei, a chicken employee who was afraid to be fired soon.
Tong Beibei didn't expect anyone to look for her, so she walked to the door suspiciously, but saw that the person who came was the face she had been in frequent contact with a few days ago - Lu Xiaohu.
"Miss Tong, Madame asked me to pick you up and take you to Qiu's house, she said that she has something important to discuss with you." Lu Xiaohu said politely.
Tong Beibei's heart sank, oh no, Wang Chenxin, this woman must be fine, and she knows that she came to the city Vientiane Magazine to find herself, that is to say, she knows her true occupation.
"Can I not go?" Tong Beibei was quite open in the face of the more familiar Lu Xiaohu, and said directly and honestly, "I don't dare." ”
Lu Xiaohu smiled slightly, "Miss Tong, don't be afraid, Mr. Peng is also here." ”
Tong Beibei immediately turned around, "Wait for me, I'll go get the bag." ”
On the way to Qiu's house, Tong Beibei asked Lu Xiaohu, who was driving, "What is Wang Chenxin looking for me?" What's the matter with her looking for Peng Bo? ”
"Madame is looking for Mr. Peng to pay for it, looking for you, I don't know much about this." Lu Xiaohu replied honestly.
Tong Beibei took out the small mirror she carried with her and began to tidy up her appearance.
In the living room of Qiu's house, Wang Chenxin sat opposite Peng Bo, patted the black suitcase on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Detective Peng, fortunately Qingfeng found you to help, otherwise this time, I am afraid that I will really become Jenny's scapegoat, this woman is really hidden, and she plays with me and Qingfeng in the palm of her hand." ”
Peng Bo dodged Wang Chenxin's gaze, he didn't bother to see how proud Wang Chenxin, a profitable fisherman, was.
"This is the 200,000 that Qingfeng promised you at the beginning. In addition to this, I would like to give you a reward as a personal thank you for it. Wang Chenxin said with a smile.
Peng Bo glanced at the black suitcase, and asked casually without much interest: "Your remuneration?" What is it? ”
Wang Chenxin shrugged and touched the gauze wrapped around his head, "It's up to you to decide this." Whatever you want, as long as it's not too much, it's fine. ”
Peng Bo pondered for a moment and said, "I need a driver, a car, and a year's right to use it." The best driver is a Land Tiger, and the car needs an off-road vehicle. ”
Wang Chen smiled happily, "I thought Detective Peng would open his mouth widely, just ask for it, no problem." From today onwards, the right to use Xiaohu and our Chevrolet off-road vehicle will be yours for one year. This year, Xiaohu's salary was also paid by me. Xiaohu is out there to help me with errands now, and should be back soon, Detective Peng, you can wait here for your car and driver. ”
Peng Bo picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip, and ignored Wang Chenxin anymore.
Wang Chenxin could also see that Peng Bo was a strange person, and he didn't bother to say more to him, "I have a headache, so I won't greet you, you are free." With that, he went upstairs.
Peng Bo saw that there was no one in the living room, so he took out his mobile phone again.
"Peng Bo," Tong Beibei's voice came from the gate, "What a coincidence, we met again." ”
Peng Bo raised his head and was not surprised to see Tong Beibei, "Tong Beibei, don't forget your promise to me." ”
Tong Beibei didn't know what Peng Bo meant by such a sentence suddenly, and just wanted to say more, Lu Xiaohu behind her had already urged her to go upstairs, "Miss Tong, Madame is waiting for you upstairs." ”
"Peng Bo, wait for me, I'll come down immediately, I have something to tell you." Tong Beibei said as he reluctantly went upstairs.
In Qiu Qingfeng's study on the third floor, Wang Chenxin met with Tong Beibei. She was unusual, and smiled affectionately at Tong Beibei, "Hello reporter Tong." ”
Tong Beibei saw that Wang Chenxin directly revealed his identity, so he no longer concealed it, "That's right, I'm a reporter, but don't worry, I won't publish your family's case." When she said this, Tong Beibei remembered Peng Bo's instructions just now, it turned out that Peng Bo had long expected Wang Chenxin's intention to find herself, which was to avoid scribbling by herself.
"Wrong," Wang Chenxin said, "You have to write." Now that such a big thing has happened to the Qiu family, Qingfeng has died, and the company has no leader, everyone needs an explanation. I need to give everyone an explanation through your magazine, and I hope that this explanation you can give will minimize the company's losses. ”
Tong Beibei was smart and clever, and immediately understood Wang Chenxin's intentions, "You mean, you want me to make up a good story?" ”
"Why not? You know, this is my crisis public relations tool for the company, even if you don't help, I can still find other people, and I believe that there are many magazines and newspapers that are willing to serve me for a fee. But I didn't want more people to be involved, so I found you first. This big news is like pie in the sky for you and your magazine, not to mention, I can pay you a sum of money. ”
Tong Beibei snorted disdainfully, "I'm sorry, I'm a journalist, not a fiction writer, and I'm not good at making up stories." If I want to write, I will write the truth, if you want me to smear Ou Xiaoxue and protect Qiu Qingfeng's reputation, I can't do it. ”
Wang Chenxin's face changed, "The one who knows the times is Junjie, Tong Beibei, it's better for you to think about it, this is a good opportunity for you." ”
Tong Beibei stood up and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I'd rather lose my job than reverse right and wrong to protect the so-called reputation of a rapist." Write an article to bleach a criminal, lie to cover up his sins, and forgive him. ”
Wang Chenxin's face darkened, "Reporter Tong, don't you ask me how much I pay you?" ”
"You can go to my other colleagues to earn this unconscionable money, I can't do such a thing." Tong Beibei learned from Peng Bo's indifferent tone and rejected Wang Chenxin.
The corners of Wang Chenxin's mouth twitched, and he immediately returned to smiling, "Okay, since that's the case, I don't have to be strong." You're good to go. ”
Tong Beibei immediately walked to the door, and she hurriedly went downstairs to find Peng Bo.
Fortunately, Peng Bo really didn't leave, and Tong Beibei was overjoyed.
"Great, you really haven't left yet," Tong Beibei saw Peng Bo on the stairs and ran downstairs in a hurry, "Thank you for waiting for me." ”
As soon as Tong Beibei's words fell, Lu Xiaohu appeared at the door with two big travel bags and said to Peng Bo: "Mr. Peng, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I've already packed my luggage." ”
"Huh? You, no, aren't you waiting for me? Tong Beibei smiled awkwardly.
Peng Bo stood up, "Let's go, I can give you a ride." ”
On the way back, Tong Beibei told Peng Bo that she rejected Wang Chenxin's request, and she refused very unceremoniously, for Wang Chenxin, a woman who was also tainted with sin, Tong Beibei couldn't pretend to be friendly to her, so she took the risk of making insulting remarks.
Peng Bo didn't react after hearing this, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied with Tong Beibei's performance or felt inappropriate.
Tong Beibei asked, "Peng Bo, do you think I did the right thing?" ”
Peng Bo said with a relaxed face: "I can't say right or wrong, but if I were you, I would also refuse." ”
The Chevrolet off-road vehicle stopped at the door of Tong Beibei's magazine, and after Peng Bo said "goodbye" to Tong Beibei, the car left again.
Tong Beibei watched the car disappear from sight, and her heart was sour. Will she and Peng Bo meet again?
More than 20 days have passed in a blink of an eye, and according to common sense, Tong Beibei and Bai Zhongwen did not submit qualified manuscripts this month, and they should have been put into the cold palace and lost their jobs when their contracts expire next month.
However, because the magazine's sales this month have set a record high since its inception, the company's boss and editor-in-chief are in a good mood, and they hereby grant amnesty and decide to give Tong Beibei and Bai Zhongwen another chance.
And the reason why the boss and the editor-in-chief are in a good mood makes Tong Beibei feel mixed.
The reason why the magazine is selling well this month is that it publishes the recent changes and internal information of the wealthy Qiu family.
Wang Chenxin bribed the editor-in-chief of Tong Beibei magazine, and the editor-in-chief personally made up a story that made Wang Chenxin very satisfied according to the current form, Qiu Qingfeng is still an innocent rich businessman, Qiu Zhenni is a vicious white-eyed wolf, and he did not hesitate to kill his father in order to monopolize the inheritance, Wang Chenxin was tragic and inspirational after losing her husband, and the story spread through the magazine as the truth.
Tong Beibei indirectly touched the light of this fictional story and had a second chance to turn over. She knew that Wang Chenxin deliberately wanted to give them this opportunity, and she was slapping her in the face.
gritted his teeth and finished reading the article in his own magazine, the disgusting fictional story that smeared Ou Xiaoxue, the revenge princess, bleached Qiu Qingfeng, the evil king, and rendered Wang Chenxin, the poor queen. Tong Beibei turned on the computer and looked at the article "Snow White and the Seven Deadly Sins" written by herself, and her eyes were moist again.
Gluttony. Ou Xiaoxue's gluttony is due to her dependence on her mother for more than 30 years and poverty and embarrassment. Ou Xiaoxue has never eaten anything delicious and has always been malnourished. She wants to eat her mother's share back, she wants to raise herself to be fat and fat, and comfort her mother who has passed away.
But because of hatred, because of her revenge plan, she must maintain the same posture as Wang Chenxin, and as a last resort, she can only spit out what she eats, again and again, causing her to become a strange freak who smells sour and rotten all over her body, and outsiders will cover her nose when they see it.
Lust. The physical relationship between Ou Xiaoxue and Tian Zheng is real, and she does not hesitate to use her body as a victim of her revenge plan, firstly because she hates her body, and secondly, because she has to do it for the sake of the plan. For the sake of unquenchable hatred, for revenge, Ou Xiaoxue sacrificed a woman's most precious innocent body to her enemy.
Rage. Ou Xiaoxue spoke ill of her former colleagues at the reception, and even punched and kicked her, just to keep the secret of her identity, because keeping this secret is the premise of her revenge.
Arrogant. Ou Xiaoxue's arrogance is disguised, she knows that there are many mistakes, if she integrates into that circle, it will be easy to see through that she is not a highly educated returnee, she can only use arrogance to cover up her ignorance and identity.
Lazy. Ou Xiaoxue's laziness was recognized by Qiu Qingfeng, because Qiu Qingfeng knew that she would know nothing but being a waiter. But is she really lazy? In fact, she is very hardworking, she is secretly investigating whether her mother's death is related to Qiu Qingfeng, and she is brewing her revenge plan.
Greedy. Ou Xiaoxue is not greedy. Spending all day and drinking, shopping addiction is her disguise, she is trying to play a loser to punish Qiu Qingfeng.
For her, she is also laundering Qiu Qingfeng's dirty money, which can be circulated to promote the economy, and it can be exchanged for things, giving it away is considered relief, and throwing it away will also be obtained by the person who picks up the garbage, which can be regarded as her working hard to do good.
Eat one's heart out. Ou Xiaoxue is not jealous of her half-brother's family, if she wants to say that she is jealous, she is jealous of the children of ordinary families with sound mental health, jealousy and envy of the simple and happy life that she is destined not to have from birth and that ordinary children are accustomed to.
