Chapter 423: Coercion and Temptation

Under the coercion of Gao Qilin, those reporters had no choice but to sit down again reluctantly.

Gao Qilin thought that they were sitting too scattered, and the banquet hall seemed deserted, so he called them all to sit down at the two tables around the main table.

The reporter who tried to leave just now was still being beaten by Gao Qilin's bodyguards, and kept screaming.

The remaining thirty-two reporters, hearing the screams of the reporter, were so frightened that they did not dare to speak, and all sat there in horror.

There was a lot of raw seafood on the table, but no one dared to move their chopsticks.

"Eat! You don't use chopsticks, do you think the dishes I invite you to eat are not good?"

Gao Qilin said coldly.

Only then did those reporters pick up their chopsticks and take two bites.

"Is it delicious?"

Gao Qilin said in a cold voice.

"It's delicious, thank you Gao Gongzi for your hospitality!"

"It's delicious!"

The reporters were forced to nod their heads in the affirmative.

In fact, these dishes are indeed delicious, and they are quite expensive. But eating in such a terrifying atmosphere, no matter how delicious the meal is, becomes a living sin.

"You people, you people won't eat my banquet, and you will write articles in the newspaper to scold me when you turn around, right?"

Gao Qilin slowly glanced at the crowd with a cold gaze.

"No, absolutely not!"

The reporters hurriedly shook their heads.

Gao Qilin nodded with satisfaction, picked up chopsticks, picked up an abalone, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

He chewed hard, not like enjoying a delicious abalone, but like a vicious wolf, viciously biting a cold bone.

It took a full two minutes for him to swallow the abalone.

He picked up a white napkin from the table, wiped it vigorously on the corner of his mouth a few times, and then discarded the napkin aside.

"Come, let's all celebrate together, this morning's press conference was a success!"

Gao Qilin raised his glass.

The reporters hurriedly raised their glasses and drank them all.

After drinking the wine, there was a dead silence again at the table, and all the reporters sat motionless, not saying a word. Even Yin Lei, who was sitting next to Gao Qilin, didn't dare to say a word.

Yin Lei knows Gao Qilin very well, and he is even more afraid from the bottom of his heart.

Don't look at him, he usually dares to call Gao Qilin a brother, but at this time, he doesn't even dare to say a word of sycophancy.

Gao Qilin's bodyguard was still beating the reporter, and he had already beaten the reporter beyond recognition, and the screams never stopped.

Every time the reporter screamed, the other reporters trembled in their hearts.

Gao Qilin glanced over there, then coughed.

After hearing the cough, the bodyguard finally stopped beating, grabbed the reporter's clothes, and dragged him in front of Gao Qilin.

Gao Qilin pointed to an empty chair opposite and said coldly,

"Let him sit there!"

Soon, the bodyguard dragged the reporter and pressed him to the chair.

The reporter's face was swollen like a pig's head, and several of his teeth had been knocked out, and he sat trembling, afraid to speak.

Gao Qilin looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly,

"If I let you go in a while, you won't go to the police station and sue me, will you?"

The reporter hurriedly shook his head and said no.

"Hmph, in fact, even if you go to sue, you can't do anything to me! I don't know the person who beat you just now. The conflict between you just now is completely your personal grudge, and it has nothing to do with me at all. Am I right?"

Gao Qilin asked, staring into the reporter's eyes.

"Yes~~"

The reporter said in a hoarse voice.

"Hehe, it's still your acquaintance!" Gao Qilin paused, and then said, "I saw that you were beaten by a hooligan, and I really couldn't bear it, so I decided to give you 200,000 yuan in medical expenses and let you treat it well." You say, "Am I doing this a righteous and courageous act?"

"Yes~~~"

The reporter nodded indignantly.

Gao Qilin turned his head and said to Yin Lei next to him,

"I just didn't bring any money when I went out today, you help me pay it first, and I'll pay it back to you when I get back!"

When Yin Lei heard this, he scolded again in his heart.

Grass Nima forced, put Lao Tzu as your own wallet?

You have to pay for dinner, and now you have to ask Lao Tzu to help you pay for your medical expenses, why do you go to burn paper for your ancestors, do you also want Lao Tzu to pay?

This kind of thing, Yin Lei only dared to scold in his heart, give him a hundred dares, and did not dare to say it in front of Gao Qilin.

Every time he came out to meet Gao Qilin, he would always bring a bag with him, and the bag would always contain hundreds of thousands of cash.

That cash is going to be used for things like this.

"Brother Qilin, our brothers have such a deep relationship, what do you want to mention about repaying the money! I just brought some cash today, let me give you this money!"

Yin Lei said with a smile on his face, took out two stacks of cash from the bag next to him, and threw them in front of the reporter opposite.

The reporter looked at the two thick stacks of bills, but did not dare to take them.

"Damn, Brother Qilin asked you to take it, and you picked up the money immediately!

Yin Lei shouted.

The reporter was so stunned that he had no choice but to tremble and take the two stacks of banknotes in his hands.

Gao Qilin saw that he picked up the money, so he said,

"Friend, my Gao Qilin's money is not easy to get! The 200,000 yuan just now, half of it is for your medical expenses, and the other half is for you to write an article. We all witnessed it with our own eyes just now, and the person who beat you was sent by Ye Hao of Haotian International Company. He wanted you to go to his press conference, and you wouldn't, so you were beaten. You're going to write about it and publish it in your newspaper, do you hear that?"

When the reporter heard this, he hurriedly threw the money back on the table.

"Gao Gongzi, this kind of thing can't be talked about! And even if I write it according to your words, our leaders will verify and investigate, and will not casually agree to publish it in the newspaper!"

"As for how to get published, that's something you have to think about, and I don't care. However, when you took the money just now, I already asked people to take several close-up photos of you, if I can't see your report about Ye Hao tomorrow, I will post a message on the Internet, saying that you wanted to rely on me because you were beaten by someone else at my banquet, and you also extorted 200,000 cash from me!"

"Master Gao, you spare me, I really didn't mean to offend you!"

"Hmph, I don't care if you mean to offend me, anyway, you have already offended me!

Gao Qilin snorted coldly, and stopped paying attention to the reporter.

Then, he turned his head to Yin Lei again.

"Yin Shao, look at it, there are so many reporters who have dinner with me today, but none of them have been able to eat well, which makes me very upset. I was going to give them 50,000 cash as compensation, but I didn't have that much money with me. Why don't you put it on for me again?"

"No problem! Brother Qilin, as far as the relationship between our brothers is concerned, what else do we have to share with each other! I'll pay this money for you first!"

Yin Lei forced a smile and smiled.
