Xie Qingying looked at her watch and saw that it was almost time for lunch. She nodded with a smile and said, "No need for afternoon tea. I'm just going to have lunch. How about we have a lunch date?"
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly agreed, "Then where to eat?"
"Where are you now?" Xie Qingying cleaned up her desk, picked up her small bag, said a few words to the secretary at the door, and walked out of her office.
Gu Nianzhi said: "I have nothing to do now and am relatively free. I chose the Xiangdao Hotel near you. I heard that the lunch and work meals provided there are good and suitable for a media upstart like you."
Xie Qingying walked to the elevator, her high heels clicking in the corridor, "Cousin Nian, you are really good at talking. The new rich can't afford it, but this is the place I often go to, and the lunch there is very good."
He immediately nodded and agreed, "I'll be there in five minutes."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said: "No need to be so early, I might have to be a little later, about fifteen minutes."
"Okay then, I'll go grab a seat and order some food first. That place is very popular at noon." Xie Qingying said, first she called the waiter she was familiar with and booked two seats.
When I went down from the 18th floor, there were two more men in suits and ties in the elevator.
Xie Qingying didn't pay attention. She looked down at her phone and said to Gu Nianzhi, "I only have one hour for lunch. Is it enough?"
She knew very well that Gu Nianzhi would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, so he must have something to do with her today.
Gu Nianzhi thought that was enough. If they could reach an agreement, ten minutes would be enough.
If we can't reach an agreement, dragging Xie Qingying around 24 hours a day is useless.
She nodded and said, "Yeah, no problem."
Gu Nianzhi took the car keys, packed his things to go out, and sent a text message to Lu Yuan and Lu Jin, saying that he had an appointment with Xie Qingying and wanted to go out to eat with her.
Lu Yuan and Lu Jin looked at each other and smiled.
This little girl even said that she is not a foodie!
Another display screen was opened near Lu.
A detailed map of the imperial capital appeared on the display screen.
A red dot like a pin appeared on the display screen, with Gu Nianzhi's cute avatar on top of the red dot.
Lu Jin looked at the portrait and smiled with satisfaction.
Lu Yuan twitched his lips, "This is in the imperial capital, you don't have to be so nervous. Even if we don't take action, why do you think Young Master is a vegetarian?"
Lu Jin thought for a while, "He is him and I am me. I can't place all my hopes of protecting my daughter on others."
Lu Yuan glanced at him, "... then don't come to me when something happens."
Lu Jin said without hesitation: "You are not someone else. I don't call you 'uncle' for nothing."
Lu Yuan rarely continued to fight back, but slightly raised the corners of his lips, showing a warm and steady smile.
…
Gu Nianzhi picked up the car from the underground parking lot, stepped on the accelerator, and quickly left the apartment complex and headed towards the arranged Xiangdao Hotel.
At noon, there were not many cars on the road.
She was lucky, she got the green light and soon arrived at the front desk of Xiangdao Hotel.
Gu Nianzhi asked "Miss Xie" to book a table, and the waiter at the front desk hurriedly led her to Xie Qingying's small table.
The Xiangdao Hotel is indeed very popular, especially during lunch, which is basically full.
Xie Qingying seems to have a very good relationship with this hotel, so he was able to book two excellent locations in such a short period of time.
The corner of the hall faces a whole wall of glass windows, but the surrounding area is divided into partitions by small and elegant bamboo screens, allowing for relative privacy.
Seeing Gu Ninzhi coming, Xie Qingying raised a smile and waved to her, "This way."
Gu Nianzhi also waved and walked over quickly, "Thank you for waiting, cousin, haven't you?"
"It's okay." Xie Qingying smiled and handed her the menu, "The Luo Han Zhai here is very famous. There are shiitake mushrooms and fungus from the Northeast, mushrooms from Inner Mongolia, snow peas from Thailand, and celery from the Mediterranean. The ingredients are very fresh, every day They are all shipped by air, and the supply is very small. I will just order one for you, and you will see what other dishes you want to order?"
After hearing Xie Qingying's words, Gu Nianzhi seemed to be a foodie. He smiled and listened to her suggestion and said, "Luohan Zhai is fine. I just had breakfast and I'm not very hungry yet."
Xie Qingying said "Oh", "You can have a good rest now."
Gu Nianzhi nodded.
Soon Luohanzhai was ready and delivered.
Gu Nianzhi only took one bite and knew that his trip was worthwhile.
This Luo Han Zhai is a vegetarian dish, but it tastes particularly delicious, probably because of the hotel's careful selection of ingredients.
Gu Nianzhi ate half of the plate of Luohanzhai, took another sip of water, put down his chopsticks, and turned to the topic, saying, "Thank you, cousin, I came to you today specifically to ask you about Lu's Group and Qin's Private It’s a matter between hospital groups, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with this revelation?”
Xie Qingying smiled, "How can there be no problem? Are there any pure and flawless revelations in this world?"
She took a paper towel from the table and sipped it to her mouth, took a sip of her own grape juice, and said: "Nianzhi, you are still a barrister. Don't you think this question is very unprofessional?" ?"
Gu Nianzhi twitched his lips and said, "I'm not in the new media field. That's not my specialty."
"Okay, I made a mistake." Xie Qingying held her own grape juice like a glass of red wine and sat elegantly on her seat. The noon sun shone in from the window and she could be seen standing upright. The nose casts a shadow on one side of the cheek.
Her nose was very similar to Gu Nianzhi's.
They are all family-oriented noses.
Gu Nianzhi shrugged indifferently and continued to ask: "You know there is a problem, but you still want to expose it. What do you mean?"
Xie Qingying put down the grape juice, clasped his hands on the small dining table, looked at Gu Nianzhi, and said slowly: "First, there is nothing wrong with the information this person broke. What is wrong is his motive."
"Second, as new media practitioners, it is our foundation to seize news hot spots. Do you think I can let go of news like this?"
"But knowing that his motives were questionable, you still released his revelations?!" Gu Nianzhi became even more puzzled, "Aren't you worried that Mr. He and General He would be unhappy after seeing it?"
Xie Qingying raised her eyebrows, "The two parties involved in this revelation are the Qin Private Hospital Group and the Lu Group."
"Qin's Private Hospital Group, as a listed company, is an independent economic legal person. It is completely different from Qin Baye, who is the major shareholder, and Qin Yaoguang, who was once the president of the group."
"And the Lu Group has nothing to do with the He family."
"Besides, Mr. He and General He are not people who do not distinguish between public and private affairs. It is Qin Baye and Qin Yaoguang who have issues with them, not the Qin Private Hospital Group."
"So why are they upset about this revelation?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled bitterly in his heart.
Of course she knew, so she kept claiming that the Lu Group was her big client.
Xie Qingying did not let her go, and continued to ask: "Nianzhi, I really don't understand. Is it really because you are so concerned about Lu Group that Lu Group is the major shareholder of your law firm?"
"... But this news will divert the current hot news and make everyone sympathize with Qin's Private Hospital." Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to explain, "It's not that you don't know that I worked hard to litigate the case for Qin Suwen. For what?"
Xie Qingying said calmly: "Even without this news, how long do you think the previous hot spots can last? - People's memories are always short, and the Internet society itself is composed of waves of hot news. If I don't break it, others will Explosion, you don’t think I can cover the sky with one hand, do you?”
Was it easy to grow her new media company from scratch to its current size
Many times, we are walking a tightrope, striving to be truthful in our reporting, yet extremely timely, and able to attract people’s attention.
If she didn't expose the information the other party gave her, someone else would naturally take over. At that time, watching other people's companies develop rapidly, would she be willing to be squeezed out
"Yes, the hot spots will eventually pass, and I don't expect the heat brought by the public trial to last forever." Gu Nianzhi tried hard to persuade Xie Qingying, "But I didn't expect that you would be the first person to stand up and move the hot spots."
"Yes, Lu's Group has nothing to do with the He family, but what about Qin's Private Hospital?"
"Qin's Private Hospital Group itself has no problem. It has independent economic legal person status, but it is the backing of Qin Yaoguang and Qin Baye. Do you really think that people's feelings, likes and dislikes can be as clear-cut between public and private as robots?"
Gu Nianzhi almost said that He Chengjian would not "distinguish public and private matters" regarding any issues related to He Zhichu and Qin Suwen...
Xie Qingying's understanding of the He family and his son was naturally not as deep as Gu Nianzhi's.
She understood the implication of Gu Nianzhi's words, was silent for a while, and said, "I understand what you mean, but this is my job. I didn't intend to transfer the hot spot, but when I saw a new hot spot coming out, I quickly grabbed it. - This is already a professional instinct for me.”
Raising her head and looking at Gu Nianzhi, Xie Qingying continued: "Just like you are able to seize any loopholes of the opponent in court and pursue them fiercely, I am also naturally good at catching hot spots in my own field. Even if this hot spot may be It’s a little bit detrimental to myself, but for me it’s more important to be there first than anything else.”
"As for what the consequences will be in the future, that is something to consider later."
Just like this time, she seized on the hot news, because it contained Qin's Private Hospital Group, and she knew that it would not only gain popularity from the live broadcast of court trials around the world, but also make her company's performance soar.
In fact, her company's fans have skyrocketed recently and are about to break through the 10 million mark and enter the billion-dollar fan club.
At present, she already has the capital and scale to compete with traditional media.
She was unable and unwilling to give up this opportunity.
After Xie Qingying's words, Gu Nianzhi felt a little fond of her.
She knew very well that she was not the same person as Xie Qingying, and she didn't like her, but that didn't stop her from appreciating her professionalism.
This woman, like her, takes her career very seriously.
"... But if you do this, what family will you marry into?" Gu Nianzhi asked with a smile, wondering if Xie Qingying had thought through the consequences of this matter.
Xie Qingying looked away and looked at the street scene outside the window. After a while, she said: "...I don't know, I don't even know if I will regret it in the future, but now, I don't regret it."
"Just think about it clearly." Gu Nianzhi stood up, waved to the waiter, and handed him his credit card, "Pay the bill, thank you."
The waiter took her credit card to pay.
After the waiter returned the credit card to her, Gu Nianzhi smiled and asked Xie Qingying: "Can you send me the revelations you received? I'm talking about the original information, not the headlines you wrote later."
Xie Qingying hesitated for a moment and said: "The other party delivered the package by express delivery, not by mail. I scanned the entire document. Do you want a scanned copy?"
Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up, "It's actually an express package? That's great. Can you let me see the original package?"
"Okay." Xie Qingying replied readily at this time, "My company is not far from here, do you want to go and sit down?"
"Okay, I haven't been to cousin Xie's company yet." Gu Nianzhi said with a smile, picked up his small bag and followed Xie Qingying out of Xiangdao Hotel.
