As the two of them were chatting, the tabloid reporter came up again, but this time there was only one of him. After entering, he walked up to Lu Yiwei and said, "Don't beat around the bush with us. Actually, I already knew that you are the boss of Dongcheng Coal Mine."
Lu Yiwei really hated this group of tabloid reporters who were like flies. He leaned back in his chair and said, "Oh? How did you know? "
"Don't worry about how I knew. I just want to ask you one question. How are you going to solve this?" The tabloid reporter said arrogantly.
Lu Yiwei was angry. He got up and walked up to the reporter. He picked up the reporter's pass and looked at it. "Bro, I don't understand what you mean. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush with me. I don't like it."
"Alright, straightforward man. I'll say it." The tabloid reporter suddenly became excited. "If this incident at your Dongcheng Coal Mine is reported in the newspapers or on TV, it won't be good for anyone. As you can see, we have more than a dozen newspapers and TV stations here. After discussion, we have unanimously decided not to report this incident and will not spread it. "
Lu Yiwei casually replied, "Oh, in that case, I'll thank you." He then returned to his desk and sat down.
The tabloid reporter saw that the other party was so insensitive and decided to give him some pointers. "Boss, we came here early in the morning and haven't had lunch yet. We still have to pay for the transportation back and forth. You see …"
Lu Yiwei knew what they were up to. He deliberately said, "Oh, they haven't had lunch yet! Old Pan, arrange for the cafeteria to make some food for them. After lunch, get a car to send them back. "
"Hey, okay. I'll go right away!" Pan Chengjun played along with Lu Yiwei.
The tabloid reporter's face turned red. He thickened his skin and continued, "Boss, what do you mean by this? Are you treating us like beggars? Since you have such an attitude, don't blame us for being rude! We will rush the draft tonight and send it out tomorrow! "
Lu Yiwei pretended to be relaxed. "Bro, you have been talking about this ever since you came. What is it?"
"What is it? Why are you asking me? You've done such an immoral thing, yet you're still flaunting your prowess and hiring triads to beat up the villagers. Just these two charges alone are enough to arrest you. "The tabloid reporter added fuel to the fire.
Pan Chengjun couldn't sit still anymore. He jumped up and scolded, "Watch your f * cking mouth. When did we hire gangsters to beat up villagers? Your dog eyes are blind. Didn't you see? It was the villagers who smashed our coal mine. Do you have any professional ethics in twisting the facts and distorting the truth? "
The tabloid reporter said proudly, "The mouths are on us, we can say whatever we want. If you really want to bury the hatchet, then spend money to get rid of the disaster. Do as you see fit. "
Pan Chengjun still wanted to argue but was stopped by Lu Yiwei. He walked up to the tabloid reporter and tore the reporter's ID from his neck. The reporter screamed in pain and shouted, "Wow, you dare to beat a reporter and overturn the sky. I'll call the police right away."
"How much do you want?" Lu Yiwei stared at the reporter.
The tabloid reporter saw that the other party was finally enlightened and forgot about the pain in his neck. He said, "We have a total of 12 people. Including the travel expenses, we'll give each of you 2,000."
"Alright, I'll pay." Lu Yiwei shouted.
Pan Chengjun saw that Lu Yiwei had agreed and wanted to dissuade him, but he was stopped by him.
The tabloid reporter was amused and said with a smile, "Since you're so straightforward from the start, there won't be any unpleasantness later. We'll be friends in the future. As long as it's about the Dongcheng coal mine, it will never appear in our newspaper. Even if it's a mining accident, there won't be a word about it. Don't worry, we're all trustworthy people … "
Lu Yiwei couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense and interrupted, "I can pay, but I'm not the boss of the Dongcheng coal mine. How about this, each of you give me an invoice so that the boss can reimburse me when he comes back."
"What? Invoice? "The tabloid reporter's eyes almost popped out." You must be joking … "
"Who's joking with you?!" Lu Yiwei's face turned gloomy. "If you want to take the money and leave, leave the invoice. Anything else is off."
Seeing Lu Yiwei's expression change, the tabloid reporter was a little timid. He braced himself and said, "Boss, does that mean you're not going to cooperate?"
"I'm not cooperating? Am I not cooperating? " Lu Yiwei said, "If you think this method is inappropriate, then do as you please. You can publish it in the newspapers or go on television if you want. In any case, the initiative is in your hands. You can say whatever you want. But I have to remind you that we've fired the miners who committed the crime. It has nothing to do with the Dongcheng coal mine. If you dare to make up stories, don't blame me for not being polite! "
Seeing that the other party was not going to reconcile, the tabloid reporter's face turned red and green. He stretched out his hand and said, "Give me back my reporter's ID."
Lu Yiwei took out his reporter's ID and raised it in the air. "Brother, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you're a reporter from an animal husbandry newspaper. What are you doing in the coal mine? And what animal husbandry newspaper? Who are you trying to fool? To put it lightly, this is swindling. To put it more seriously, it's extortion. Do you want me to call the police over and talk to them face to face? "
The tabloid reporter was embarrassed. He straightened his neck and said, "We are a legitimate newspaper. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate."
"Are you really going to investigate?" Lu Yiwei stared at him and said, "Just in time. I'm quite familiar with the director of the Provincial Press and Publication Bureau. I'll call and ask now. Oh, I saw that you also have some Modern Consumer Guide and Daily Life Morning Post. I'll ask them too. "As he said that, he took out his phone and pretended to make a call.
The tabloid reporter took it seriously and panicked. He did not even want his reporter's ID and turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey. Don't go." Lu Yiwei purposely shouted, causing Pan Chengjun to burst into laughter.
At this moment, a few cars drove into the yard. Pan Chengjun looked through the window and said to Lu Yiwei, "Yiwei, Yuze Town's Party Committee Secretary Yuan Hongtao is here. There's even a police car behind him. Did he bring Haidong back?"
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao Yang's timely appearance had turned the situation around.
Before they could go downstairs, they heard Yuan Hongtao reprimanding the tabloid reporter who had not left in time. "It's you guys again. You're like flies. You're everywhere. Hurry up and scram. If I see you again, I'll arrest all of you. Scram!"
The tabloid reporter did not reply and left with his tail between his legs.
Lu Yiwei saw this scene and felt both amused and sympathetic. To put it nicely, they were reporters. To put it bluntly, they were extorting people. They could have done anything else, but they had to resort to such dishonest methods.
Lu Yiwei glanced at Xiao Yang. He did not expect him to come. He was very touched and immediately went downstairs to welcome him.
"Ah! Standing Committee Lu, it's really my fault for not recognizing Mount Tai. If you had told me earlier that you were Mayor Han's friend, you wouldn't have needed to come here in person. You could have just sent someone to inform me and I would have come. I'm really sorry! " Yuan Hongtao saw Lu Yiwei and bowed, shaking his hand non-stop. His words were full of sincerity.
Mayor Han's friend? Lu Yiwei did not understand. He turned to look at Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang blinked his eyes and understood. "I heard that Secretary Yuan has always been concerned about the people. He cares about the suffering of the people and the development of the business. The town is our family. When we are wronged, we can only go back to our family and complain. Only the family understands how difficult it is to run a business. So, I know you won't just stand by and do nothing. You'll help us. "
These few words made Yuan Hongtao's heart burst with joy, and he was filled with guilt. He leaned close to Lu Yiwei's ear and said, "Mr. Lu, I've brought the person back for you. Let him hide for now. We'll talk about it after it's settled."
"Okay, I'll listen to Secretary Yuan's arrangements."
Yuan Hongtao went upstairs and went straight to the meeting room. Some of the villagers knew Yuan Hongtao. When they saw the police, their expressions became nervous. After a while, some people quietly slipped away from the back door. Only the immediate family members of the woman's family were left.
Yuan Hongtao gave up the main seat at the meeting table for Lu Yiwei. Lu Yiwei insisted on not sitting and refused several times. In the end, he just emptied the main seat and sat on the side.
"What's your name? Who are you from the woman's family? "Yuan Hongtao did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
When the man saw the leader, his body trembled. He said with a trembling voice, "My name is Zhao Jianqiang. I'm the woman's father."
"Okay, can you make the decision?"
"Yes."
"Okay, let me ask you. You said that Li Haidong impregnated your daughter. Do you have any evidence?"
Zhao Jianqiang could not answer Dong Xuebing's question. He said angrily, "Do I still need evidence? That motherf * cking Li Haidong coaxed my daughter and even said that he will marry her. Later, I found out that this bastard is already married. My daughter is a playboy. How is she going to face others in the future? "
"Fine!" Yuan Hongtao said straightforwardly, "This is your side of the story. But as far as I know, your daughter saw that Li Haidong is rich and took the initiative to ask him to marry her. Also, you should know what kind of person your daughter is. Her private life is very messy. It seems that Li Haidong is not the only one she has affairs with, right? "
"This …" Zhao Jianqiang's face turned red. He could not answer. After a while, he said, "I don't know about others, but is it true that Li Haidong has taken my daughter?"
"Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. If your daughter behaved properly, this matter would not have happened. Since the matter has already happened, then it should be settled through negotiation. Why did you bring people to smash other people's windows? Do you know what kind of behavior this is? You have violated the law. You will be arrested and put in jail! "Yuan Hongtao deliberately made the responsibility heavier.
