021. The secret you have in your heart
When Tan Jing finished writing the new issue, a female editor in the new fiction section knocked on his desk with an ambiguous expression and a narrow smile: "There is a young lady who wants to see you." β
Tan Jing raised his eyebrows: "Judging from your expression, that young lady looks very good." β
"Do you think who it is, big reporter?" The female editor covered her mouth and smiled, "You are good at dancing with long sleeves, I finally found a female author who is a little hopeful, so you will start first." β
Tan Jing was inexplicable: "What female author?" I haven't asked a female author to write a manuscript. β
"The little seventeen who wrote Nie Yinniang before, remember," the female editor said, "She is the one who wants to see you, I really didn't know that she still has some attainments in economics, and I came to see you by name this time." β
Tan Jing put on the pen cap, and the female editor reached out to sort out the freshly written manuscript for him: "Don't let people wait, talk about big reporters." β
When he walked into the conference room, he was still guessing who the person was, and he guessed a person, but he felt that it was impossible, but except for her, no woman in the coastal area would come to meet him.
She's so bold.
When Tan Jing pushed open the door of the conference room, he already had a smile on his face, and this smile may not even be noticed by himself.
But he guessed wrong.
The girl in the conference room lifted the hat veil covering her face and bowed to him slightly: "Talk about reporters." β
"Miss Seven?" Tan Jing's expression may have stiffened for 0.1 seconds, which is not visible to the naked eye, but he himself seems to feel some kind of disappointment that should not exist is spreading in that 0.1 second.
"I didn't expect Little Seventeen to be Miss Seven." He walked over and touched the teacup in front of Wei Jieling, and withdrew his hand when he realized that it was hot, "Miss Seven is really talented." β
"You're complimenting me," Wei Jieling took off her hat and rested it on her knee, "I've heard your comments on my article, the writing is average, but there is quite emotion between the lines." β
Talking about the competition and laughing: "Editor Sun is really ......"
"I'll ask you for advice another day." Wei Jieling said, "I took the liberty to bother talking to the reporter this time because I met with Secretary Ono of the consulate the day before yesterday, and I thought it was necessary to let you know my conversation with her that day. β
Tan Jing pulled away the chair in his hand and made a gesture to show that he wanted to hear more about it.
"She seems to be trying to persuade me to drop the lawsuit." Wei Jieling said, "I don't know if she was persuaded by Lu Boyi." β
"What are the conditions for withdrawing the lawsuit?"
Wei Jieling said in a low voice: "With my family, brother, nephew, and sister...... Everyone shares the inheritance equally. β
Tan Jing stopped talking, and his previous unusual suspicions about Midai Ono were finally confirmed hereβshe was indeed working against Sukawa Shun.
"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Seven is going to meet with Consul Qichuan tomorrow."
Wei Jieling nodded: "Consul Qichuan ordered Secretary Ono to come to the door and ask me to move out of the old mansion and to the hotel they arranged for me." β
Tan Jing was surprised: "Have you moved?" β
"No, I'm still in the old mansion," Wei Jieling smiled, "Although my sister-in-law and aunt and grandmother don't deal with me, they can at least protect me, whether I live in my own private house or the private house they arranged for me, I will be controlled." β
"Miss Seven can think of these things clearly." Tan Jing continued, "Don't reveal a word of what Ono Meidai said to you, to Consul Qichuan. β
Wei Jieling raised her eyebrows, revealing a surprised expression: "Talking about reporters also supporting me to withdraw the lawsuit?" β
"Miss Seven should know that the court's judgment can't protect Yizhuang."
Wei Jieling was silent, she knew that what they said was right.
"You should withdraw the lawsuit and negotiate peacefully with Wei Dashao."
"Can't we ask the court to divide the inheritance equally?" She didn't give up asking questions, because she didn't want to talk to Wei Yingguo about how to divide up the inheritance left by her father, which didn't belong to them.
"Then amend the complaint and delete the article that retains Yizhuang." Tan Jing figured out Wei Jieling's thoughts, "This is not a thing that can be achieved with fame and fortune, Miss Seven, there is only profit that can be collected here." β
He couldn't tell her Qi Chuan's intentions, for fear of arousing her suspicions, and he was afraid that Wei Jieling would hate Lu Peiming even more from now on - the president of the court who was trapped in the coastal area had done nothing wrong, he just wanted to protect himself.
Wei Jieling was silent for a moment: "Even if you want to revise the complaint, you must withdraw the complaint first." Actually, you still want me to drop the lawsuit, right? β
"I hope that Miss Seven will take your sister and invite all the Wei clansmen who are eligible to share the inheritance, and use the court as a deterrent to settle the matter with Wei Dashao."
"Talk about what to hide from me." Wei Jieling looked at his face, "You just made the decision to persuade me to withdraw the lawsuit, just after I told you that Midai Ono hinted that I would withdraw the lawsuit." β
Tan Jing laughed, he relaxed, leaned back in the chair, and looked at Wei Jieling: "Miss Seven won't think that I and Secretary Ono are accomplices, they were all persuaded by Lu Boyi." β
"You do act like you've been persuaded by him." Wei Jieling didn't smile, her expression could even be said to be a little grim, "It's good that you didn't persuade me to accept the 100,000 yuan ocean offered by my eldest brother." β
"You should be involved in dividing the inheritance." "And the court and the Japanese consulate are your hole cards to deter the other party, and the hole cards should not be used at will." β
Wei Jieling continued to look into his eyes, and after a while, she exhaled softly: "I used to look at Ono Meidai's eyes like this, but I couldn't see anything, and now when I look at your eyes, I actually feel that you are exactly the same as her...... The two of you both have secrets in your hearts that cannot be disclosed to the world, which makes me very surprised, you are a reporter, she is a secretary, you are both people with your own beliefs, why do you have such a pair of guarded eyes? β
Tan Jing was stunned, subconsciously turned his eyes away and looked out the window, and said with a smile to himself: "Miss Seven said that she was laughing, I didn't guard against anyone." β
Wei Jieling didn't argue with him, what she was most concerned about at the moment was her inheritance lawsuit: "I'm going to see Qi Chuan Xun tomorrow, what am I going to say?" β
She originally called Qi Chuan Shun "Qi Chuan Consul", but now she calls her by her first name. This change was too subtle for Tan Jing to hear.
"Don't say anything," he turned his gaze back, but didn't dare to make eye contact with Wei Jieling, he could only raise his gaze slightly and stare at her curved eyebrows, "Agree with everything she says, no matter what she wants you to do, you agree." β
"Then the lawsuit was dismissed." Wei Jieling's tone was firm, "You are guarding against Qi Chuanxun." β
When she said this, Tan Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He is a reporter who is a needle and a bad time, and he should have been guarding against Sukawa.
Tan Jing looked at Wei Jieling again, he laughed slyly, then stretched out a finger to his lips and gently "shhh
Seeing this, Wei Jieling also followed his example and stretched out a finger and gently "shhh
She decided to drop the lawsuit.
The meeting between Wei Jieling and Sukawa went on as scheduled, and Mr. Koizumi, the owner of the miso grill, did not open for business all day, and all the ingredients were purchased by him in the market, and he even felt regretful that Chinese fish was not as delicious as Japanese fish.
Sukawa arrived half an hour early to express his gratitude to Koizumi. She was in a good mood, and even her kimono was replaced with a cherry blossom pattern of dark colors that she didn't know she usually wore.
Ono Meidai said too much in front of Wei Jieling, and now she regrets it, afraid that Wei Jieling will learn something in front of Qi Chuan. She informed Xiaoquan in advance to set up two tables in the box, one main table and one sub-table, so that Wei Jieling and Qi Chuan Xun could sit opposite each other, and she could sit behind Qi Chuan Xun and give Wei Jieling a look.
However, after Qi Chuan Shun saw the arranged private room, he suddenly frowned: "Why does Mei Dai set up a separate table?" Come to the Lord's table. β
Midai Ono smiled and replied calmly: "It's just that considering that Miss Seven saw you for the first time, the two of us and she alone, I'm afraid that she will be afraid in her heart." β
"That's why I want you to sit at the same table." "The first time she saw me, it wasn't the first time she saw you. β
Ono didn't dare to fight anymore, so she had to call someone to remove the sub-table and put her pair of dishes and chopsticks on the main table.
Wei Jieling arrived at the sauce ten minutes early, the car she took was several grades better than the consulate's bus, the two cars were parked together, and the Wei family's car could simply show a bit of a sense of grandeur. Qi Chuan Xun saw it through the window, and smiled inexplicably: "You have seen the wealth of the Wei family, right?" β
Ono nodded.
Sukawa Shun continued: "When Emperor Meiji was alive, in order to develop our navy, even the imperial meals were ordered to be reduced, and at the same time, the Qing Kingdom was still there, and in order to celebrate the birthday of their empress dowager, the authorities were willing to spend millions of taels of silver to celebrate her birthday. β
Ono Meidai immediately said: "I know about this, my grandfather and mother at home also cut down on food and clothing and donated money for the navy. β
Qi Chuan Xun glanced at her appreciatively, and then raised his chin to Wei Jieling, who had just gotten out of the car: "Her father was working for the Qing Kingdom back then, and my teacher had dealt with her father, saying that he was indeed a diligent and down-to-earth person...... But after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, her family became a giant of the Republic of China. β
Ono was silent, she understood what Sukawa was trying to say.
"What the son of the old Wei Gong is doing now is actually no different from his father's back then, except that he doesn't have the ability of his father back then, and he can scavenge money from others." Qi Chuan Xun whispered, watching Wei Jieling walk to the door of the sauce burning, she heard the sound of the sliding door being opened, and immediately returned to the table and knelt down.
"Mei Dai, please greet this Seventh Miss for me."
