Tan Jing once listened to a lecture by a journalism professor at Aurora College, saying that the British newspaper "The Times" is the authority of public opinion in the British upper class, and after the resignation of its newspaper chief writer, he is often invited to join the cabinet, and his status is outstanding, so he is called the "uncrowned king" of France.

When Qi Chuan Shun was talking to him, Tan Jing suddenly remembered the scene when he listened to this lecture, he didn't remember the old gentleman's surname, he didn't listen to it on purpose, but went to Aurora to meet friends, and he met him by mistake, so he listened to it by the way.

The old gentleman talked about the news media, and the entry point was quite good, talking about the powerful ministers of the ancient court, because he had the emperor's daily sources, and only let the monarch hear the news he wanted the monarch to know, so as to manipulate the government.

When he said this, the old professor suddenly took a breath, and then said: "The most terrible thing is not only the manipulation of the government, but the manipulation of the king's mind...... And you, all of you sitting in the audience, whether you are colleagues in the journalism industry or students who are preparing to work in this industry, you are all powerful ministers at the king's side. ”

This idea was new and shocking to Tan Jing, but he soon realized that the old professor was right, that they were indeed the king's ministers, because they had the information, and they could decide what the "kings" read the newspaper and listened to the radio.

And those contents are what the "kings" think of the whole world.

Tan Jing wanted to sigh, but Qi Chuan Shun sat opposite him, still dressed in a kimono, with gentle makeup, and a soft voice when he spoke, but every word he said was as heavy as a hammer, smashed into Tan Jing's ear canal.

"Consul Qichuan wants me to follow up on this news." "The focus is on reporting on the consulate's attitude towards the Wei's estate case? ”

"Attitudes and behaviors." Qi Chuan Xun corrected the small flaws in his words, "You and Mei Dai went to visit Miss Wei Qi together, ask about the causes and consequences of this inheritance case in more detail, and by the way, interview Master Wei and ask him what his attitude is towards Wei Jia Yizhuang." ”

As she spoke, she paused and laughed softly: "The Wei clan has a large population, and I think he should not like to give his ancestral property to poor relatives. ”

Well, the attitude of the eldest prince of Wei is no longer important, and even said that he is not important as a person, he just needs to contribute his name and appear in the report he wants to appear on time.

Tan Jing nodded very happily, and said to Ono Meidai: "When Secretary Ono is going to see Miss Wei Qi, please inform me in advance." ”

Qi Chuan Xun looked at them with a smile: "Mei Dai will invite Miss Wei Qi to lunch for me, and I hope that the reporter can do an interview with Master Wei before that." ”

She said, frowning slightly: "Things have developed so far, I don't even know Miss Wei Qi's name. ”

"Seventh Lady Fang is named Jieling, Wei Jieling, the eldest son of the Wei family calls Wei Yingguo." Tan Jing wrote these two names on a blank piece of paper and pushed them in front of Qi Chuan Xun, "The consul should have an impression of Wei Yingguo, he made a special trip to Japan to meet with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of the iron ore factory, and the date of the meeting is still handled by the consulate. You commented on him at the time, saying that there was no successor to Wei Gong. ”

Sukawa Shun had an impression of this incident, but she didn't expect Tan Jing to know so clearly: "I remember that Tan reporters were not involved in this matter. ”

"I covered the talks," Mr. Tan said, "and the consul didn't know me very well at the time." ”

This is a bit strange, but Sukawa understands the meaning - at that time, Tan Jing had not been reused by her, but she was already very concerned about the affairs of the consulate.

He was tactfully showing his loyalty to Sukawa.

Qi Chuan Shun didn't answer his words, but casually put the white paper with his name written on it handed by Tan Jing into a pile of pages on the left hand side: "Go and do this as soon as possible." ”

Midai Ono and Tan Jing left the consular office one after the other, neither of them spoke, and even the warm atmosphere pretended in front of Sukawa Shun disappeared without a trace.

Ono Meidai doesn't like to talk about competition very much, and Tan Jing knows this well, so in addition to polite greetings and greetings, he has always tried his best to avoid intersecting with Ono Meidai.

Ono Meidai sat down behind her desk, and Tan Jing nodded to her: "Then I'll take my leave first." ”

He walked over to his desk, reached out and opened the door, and without waiting for Ono to reply, as if he didn't want to stay in front of her for a moment, he opened the door and walked out—for fear that Ono couldn't see that he didn't really like her.

Ono is scheduled to visit the old house of the Ichimoto Hashie family in the afternoon of the second day. Wei Qi is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she still lives in the old mansion of the Wei family, but after his sister-in-law sued himself in court, he moved out of the old mansion and took his concubine to live in the mansion on Aisheli Street.

The Wei family's western-style mansion and the old mansion are based on east and west, spanning half of the city. Ono Meidai first called the daily newspaper office and deliberately asked Tan Jing if he had visited Master Wei.

"I'm getting ready for the afternoon." There was a colleague in the newspaper office, so he omitted Ono Mine's name and called him "you" directly, "When are you going to go to Yiyuan Bridge?" ”

"I haven't decided yet," said Ono Meidai, "Let's talk about the interview of Master Wei first." ”

She wanted to see Miss Wei Qi alone, and she didn't want to go with Tan Jing, so she hung up the phone to the newspaper, and then dialed the phone number of the Wei family's old house, and her words were quite polite, saying that she would like to ask Miss Wei Qi to give her face.

The inner house of the Wei family is an old aunt and grandmother of the old Wei family and the grandmother of the Wei family, this old aunt and grandmother is from the old lady of the Wei family, after the death of Wei Yingguo's mother-in-law, she followed the old Wei Gong, with the support of the old man, naturally said nothing in the Wei family, but she herself knows very well that the loess of the old Wei Gong is buried in the neck stalk, and she can't count on it, so she flattered Wei Yingguo's original partner and Wei family's grandmother Liu very early. Although it is now a two-room respect, this old aunt and grandmother only occupy a nominal dignity at best, and it is Wei Yingguo's daughter-in-law who really has the final say.

Wei Yingguo moved out of the old house with his concubine, but left Grandma Wei at home, Liu had already had a stomach full of resentment, she didn't think it was her husband's affection, but counted the accounts on Wei Jieling, and in the past, she still maintained some false feelings and sisters-in-law, but now she has completely torn her face, and even her monthly money has stopped.

It was the old aunt and grandmother who answered Ono Meidai's call, and when she heard that she was looking for Miss Seven, her face immediately changed: "Wei Qi is dead!" ”

Ono Meidai was taken aback by the evil anger in her words, but she still said politely: "Please ask the old lady to report on your behalf, I will come to the door in the afternoon with a gift, and ask Miss Wei Qi to see me with a face." ”

"We don't have this person in our family," said the old aunt and grandmother, "and you don't want to come, and when you come, the beauty will see you." ”

Ono Meidai still had a good voice: "The old lady said this, is it because of the inheritance lawsuit?" ”

"We don't have any inheritance lawsuits in our family!" The old aunt and grandmother were angry, she didn't know the identity of Ono Meidai, and she thought she was Wei Jieling's handkerchief, "Which girl's daughter are you?" Can't understand people? Don't meddle with things. ”

Ono Midai chuckled, and there was a little anger in her gentle tone: "Old lady, I am the secretary of Mr. Sushikawa, the consul general of the Japanese Consulate in Prima, and our consul general wants to see Miss Seven, I'm afraid this is not something you can stop." At four o'clock this afternoon, I personally went to the house to visit Miss Seven, and asked the old lady to convey it on her behalf, if there is any problem in this meeting, old lady, I don't think Master Wei will go against the consulate for you. ”

When the clock struck three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for the people to wake up during the lunch break, Ono went out and took the consulate's car to the Ichiyuan Bridge. The Wei family is wealthy, half of the street of Yiyuan Bridge is their house, the gate is not opened easily, and ordinary and valuable visitors go through the second gate. But Ono Meidai no, she just said cruel words to the old aunt and grandmother of the Wei family in the morning, and at this moment she wants to open the main door to show the status of the consulate.

There are a bunch of people gathered in Wuyang and Wuyang at the door of Wei's house, the old aunt and grandmother are also there, and they are all very attentive to Ono Meidai.

But Miss Wei Qi didn't come to pick it up in person, she only sent a mother-in-law, who was wearing a foreign cloth and was obviously not low in status.

"Grandma, please come back." Ono Meidai smiled at her, she put one hand behind her back, her back was straight, and her chin was slightly raised, making that smile look a little arrogant, "On the eldest prince's side, the consul will also send someone to meet." ”

Liu and the old aunt and grandmother glanced at each other, both of them were worried, but Ono Meidai looked at them and said again: "Grandma hasn't returned yet, do you want to go with me to see Miss Seven?" I'm afraid it's not very convenient. ”

Liu smiled at this time: "No, no, I won't delay the secretary to talk to our seventh aunt......"

She glanced at the old aunt and grandmother again, and whispered on her behalf to apologize to Ono Meidai, saying that the old lady was old and confused, and asked Ono Meidai not to take it to heart.

The old aunt and grandmother of the Wei family are in their early forties, but because of her high seniority, the word "old" is added to promote the generations. But Liu gave the steps, and Ono Meidai couldn't ignore it, so she smiled kindly at the old aunt and grandmother, and said, "I spoke a little heavier in a hurry, and I bumped into the old aunt and grandmother, so please forgive me." ”

The two parties were polite again, and seeing that Ono Meidai's expression was becoming more and more impatient, the Liu family led everyone to retreat, leaving only the mother-in-law of the Wei Qi faction to serve her.

Ono asked as she walked, "Where is Miss Seven?" ”

"Before I answered your call, I just answered a reporter's gentleman." The mother-in-law led her to the living room, "I'm talking to the seventh aunt now." ”

"Journalists? Talking about competition? "Ono Meidai stopped," is it a reporter from Binhai's "Chaosheng Daily"? ”

The mother-in-law said "oops", looking very surprised: "You really recognize him, just now you said that you want to come, I will tell the seventh aunt, or let Mr. Tan go back first, and see Secretary Ono first, but Mr. Tan said that he and you are old acquaintances and can meet together." ”

Ono Meidai snorted in disgust: "He is talking nonsense, I don't know him well, I bother you to tell Miss Seven, I'll come back another day." ”

The mother-in-law's face was frightened by her, and now on the beach, the Chinese who worked for the Japanese could not afford to offend, let alone the high-ranking secretaries of the Japanese army...... Not to mention the side, just looking at the attitude of Grandma Wei and Grandma Wei towards Ono Meidai, she knew that this person was not a good stubble.

Thinking like this, the mother-in-law's face became whiter and paler, and the sweat on her forehead was like pulp, and in the end, her knees were weak, and she knelt on the ground: "My lord...... Spare me, I don't know anything, I ......"

Ono Meidai was startled by her sudden movements, and subconsciously took a step back: "What are you doing?" ”

"It's my fault for all the mistakes, it has nothing to do with our seventh aunt, if the adults want to punish me......" The mother-in-law kowtowed to Ono Meidai, which was sturdy, and the skin on her head was broken.

"I don't want to punish anyone, and this matter has nothing to do with you." Ono Medai bent down and hurriedly helped her, "You get up." ”

"What's going on?" A young man's voice sounded not far away, and there was a smile on his face, "How can you lead the way and bring out the sin?" ”

When the mother-in-law heard the voice, she immediately became anxious, she turned her head, her face was full of tears, embarrassed, and her voice sharply accused him: "Our family treats you kindly, how can you trap us like this?" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and pulled Ono Meidai's pants: "My lord...... We really don't know, adults......"

"It turns out that it's because I'm ......" Tan Jing walked over in surprise and looked at Ono Maid's face, "Secretary Ono doesn't want to see me?" Then I'll just go, why be angry with others? ”

He bent down and forcibly helped the mother-in-law up, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, asked her to wipe her tears and tidy up her appearance, and then comforted her gently: "This matter has nothing to do with you, let alone the seventh aunt, peace of mind." ”

Ono Meidai is on a high platform at the moment, neither up nor down. There was such a big commotion outside, which had already alarmed Miss Wei Qi, who was standing far away in front of the living room, with a frightened expression on her face.
