Chapter 566: Reporter Wang of Jiangnan Newspaper
At noon, Chen Shanchang brought a young man similar to him to the Starbucks Cafe next to the City God Temple.
They chose a position by the window, Chen Shanchang ordered two of the most expensive coffee here, and asked for some snacks.
"Brother Ping, I really thank you this time. Thanks to your report in Jiangnan Evening News, I was so angry!"
Chen Shanchang said very movedly. It was obvious that the person opposite was Wang Zhiping, who deliberately wrote about Zhou Ming’s parents. He was Chen Shanchang’s classmate and the deputy editor-in-chief of the current affairs section of Jiangnan Newspaper.
Chen Shanchang later pretended to be worried: "But Brother Ping, is it really okay for you to do this? After all, that's Zhou Ming. His parents can control the baby and laugh in Linyang's factory and send Zhou Ming abroad. Such a family may not be easy to mess with."
Wang Zhiping waved his hand disdainfully: "What's the matter? It seems that you still don't know Brother Ping very much. Brother Ping is not only a reporter from Jiangnan Newspaper, but also the deputy editor-in-chief. Are I afraid that he is a little slut in Linyang?"
"You are a businessman. You may not understand many things in our system," Wang Zhiping thought for a while and said, "I tell you that you don't think I'm just the deputy editor-in-chief, but when I was just a young reporter before, no matter where I went to do an interview, the county leaders there had to come out to receive me personally, and they had to provide me with delicious food and drink!"
"This is the power to promote public opinion! Even those officials are timid with me, and a small businessman is not allowed to be fiddled with by me?"
Wang Zhiping continued, "Besides, even if his family has some skills, so what? Do I have no ability in Binhai and Tianning?"
Chen Shanchang shook his head repeatedly and said that this was not the case. Wang Zhiping was the most powerful. A small Zhou Ming could not make any waves in front of him.
As an old classmate, Chen Shanchang certainly knew Wang Zhiping's family background. His family has strong strength in Jiangnan and Binhai, especially in the media industry. Otherwise, he would not have had a position as deputy editor in the newspaper in just two years. And although he was just a small deputy editor, in fact, even the editor-in-chief would not have been away from him in the newspaper.
Then their coffee came up, and Wang Zhiping said: "And you know I am a reporter. What I hate the most is the matter of using power to suppress people and using power for personal gain. The justice of a reporter will never allow me to stand idly and turn a blind eye to such things!"
Wang Zhiping was very indignant: "So, even if you don't have a good teacher, please ask me to know about this. Now I just have one more reason!"
Chen Shanchang expressed his gratitude repeatedly, and he also said: "Brother Ping has a strong sense of justice, and I can see it from the time he went to school."
Chen Shanchang then changed the subject: "But Brother Ping, please rest assured. I know that Brother Ping is very hard to investigate this matter. I will quickly transfer the 200,000 yuan hard money to Brother Ping's account."
When Wang Zhiping heard him say this, he immediately smiled even brighter: "What's the money? You'll be so fond of it. You know that I'm not optimistic about it in normal times, but I just like to collect some calligraphy and paintings from the past."
Chen Shanchang secretly scolded Wang Zhiping, a greedy bastard. How could he not know what Wang Zhiping called calligraphy and paintings that could not be obtained without dozens or millions, and even had no price. However, now he has something to ask for, so he can only express his enthusiasm on his face.
Wang Zhiping nodded with satisfaction, so he said seriously: "Good Master, don't worry, Zhou Ming will continue to dig deep into these news. Just his little slut who comes from Linyang, even if he gives him three courages, he will not dare to come to me!"
Wang Zhiping and Shen Shanchang took a sip of coffee. He looked enjoyable: "The taste of coffee is more fragrant. This is a truly tasteful life. Look at our countryside, which has never seen the world. Only when we go abroad can we know what real fashion is. I often miss our time studying abroad, and the air there is particularly fresher!"
Wang Zhiping was sighing, suddenly the pager on his body rang. It was news from the newspaper. Wang Zhiping didn't even have a cell phone, so he had to go to the cafe to borrow the phone and call back.
Soon Wang Zhiping came back and told Chen Shanchang that it was Zhou Ming who wanted to see him.
Chen Shanchang immediately became nervous when he heard this. Wang Zhiping patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, don't be so nervous. Although I admit that Zhou Ming had some skills and could actually bring his relationship to the newspaper, that's it. I won't compromise with him. Just wait for my news!"
Wang Zhiping finally picked up his cup of coffee and took another sip: "Fortunately, there is a Starbucks open in Binhai. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to go to drink such a mellow coffee. There is nothing in China to compare with anything!"
Wang Zhiping left these words and left, but he didn't know that Starbucks entered the country because Zhou Ming was so active abroad, otherwise he would have to wait at least a few years.
Wang Zhiping left quickly, while Chen Shanchang was still sitting there, his eyes gloomy and sunny, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Although the name of Jiangnan Newspaper is Jiangnan, it is actually not an organization in Jiangnan Province. It is a national newspaper headquartered in Binhai. Its circulation and influence are not the best, but it is also ranked at the forefront all year round.
The headquarters building of Jiangnan Newspaper is located next to the Municipal Government Square, and it is also an old building of age. Jiangnan Newspaper's editor-in-chief Jiang Wanqing sat in the reception room on the second floor, while Zhou Ming and Su Han took Yu Shengrong and Yang Jieqing to sit in front of him.
Wang Zhiping first said hello to the editor-in-chief, and then sat in front of Zhou Ming with great politeness.
"Zhiping, this is Comrade Su Han, the chairman of Doll Laughing, this is Boss Yu Shengrong and Yang Jieqing, and the last one is Comrade Zhou Ming."
Jiang Wanqing first introduced Zhou Ming and Wang Zhiping to each other, but it was obvious that the editor-in-chief Jiang did not understand enough about Zhou Ming, Su Han, Yu Shengrong and Yang Jieqing. When introducing, Su Han was put in front of him. Zhou Ming felt it was indifferent, but Su Han frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction. Yu Shengrong and Yang Jieqing were both afraid that Zhou Ming was unhappy.
"Oh? I didn't expect the situation to be quite big. The most mysterious chairman of Doll Laugh has come forward. It's really flattering!" Wang Zhiping was a little surprised. Wang Zhiping didn't know much about the others, but he still knew Su Han, the queen behind the Doll Laugh Drink Food Empire.
Wang Zhiping's slightly sarcastic tone made people feel uncomfortable, but Zhou Ming said: "Listen to reporter Wang, it seems that he already knows the purpose of our coming this time."
Wang Zhiping admitted generously: "Of course I know, it's just for my report. But I think Comrade Zhou Ming, you may have a waste of time. After all, the newspaper has been sent out, so it is absolutely impossible to take it back. Besides, even if you take it back, it will be useless, right?"
Since the matter has been told, Zhou Ming also said directly: "Reporter Wang has misunderstood. Of course, I didn't ask you to take back the newspaper. I just hope you can make some subsequent reversal reports, indicating that this is not the case. My parents are just ordinary workers, and I have never been abroad. Everything is a misunderstanding arrangement."
Wang Zhiping looked at Zhou Ming and smiled: "Are you telling me a joke? This is absolutely impossible! Any news is the result of our investigation. How can you be so casual? You can write whatever you say? You are not insulting me, but insulting all of us newsmen!"
"But what you reported is not the truth at all!" Zhou Ming also said, "My parents have always been ordinary workers, including now. Even in the past 760 Factory, my father was a factory worker model for five consecutive years, and my mother was also a Hongqian Red Flag Bearer. These are all honors that can be found. I think it is necessary for you to investigate again."
Wang Zhiping looked at Zhou Ming with his eyes slanted: "Boss Zhou Ming, are you ordering me?"
Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "No, I'm just discussing with reporter Wang. After all, you are a reporter who has returned from studying abroad. You should be responsible for your reports."
Yu Shengrong and Yang Jieqing also helped, "Reporter Wang, you should know that Factory 760 was a state-owned factory that was about to go bankrupt in the past, and they were all built by Mr. Zhou Ming and Ms. Su Han. How can you say that Mr. Zhou Ming's parents are corrupt? How can you say that Mr. Zhou Ming's parents are corrupt? How can you be the reason for corruption in your own things?"
"And we are not asking you to make up anything now. We just ask you to report the original facts and not to harass Mr. Zhou Ming's parents in the future. Is there anything difficult?"
Faced with this persuasion from left to right, Wang Zhiping slapped the table unhappily: "Enough!"
Wang Zhiping pointed to Zhou Ming and said, "Don't think I don't know anything. You guys who eat human blood steamed buns have all the money you earn from greed. I am a reporter, so there is no need for you to teach me how to write news!"
Wang Zhiping said and sneered: "You did those things, and now they are exposed, so are you scared? I tell you, it's not that simple. I will indeed dig deep into this news, and I will also expose all your evil deeds!"
Zhou Ming frowned. He thought about it carefully and said, "I understand. Reporter Wang, if you want to expose it, I can't stop you, but you can just come to me. I will expose it whatever you want. I'm not afraid, but don't expose what happened to my parents. Their two elders have a glorious life. I don't want anyone to disturb them."
Zhou Ming continued: "Just treat it as helping me, in return, if reporter Wang has any requests, I can also do you a favor."
"Yo? You're still talking about the conditions with me? Let me tell you, you are not qualified to negotiate with me!"
Wang Zhiping said: "I tell you, I just want to expose your parents. Not only will I expose it now, but I will continue to dig deep into this news in the future and expose everything to the people of the whole country!"
"That's nothing to talk about?" Zhou Ming's tone became cold.
"Talk? I am a reporter and the deputy editor-in-chief of Jiangnan News Agency. What are you talking to me?" Wang Zhiping said with a sneer.
"I still have manuscripts to rush, so I'll leave first."
