"I can't accept this explanation." Hu Li said.
"I accept it!" The short-haired female reporter said, "Medical treatment is no big deal. It directly concerns the health and life safety of ordinary people. It is the most rigorous thing in the world. Shen's Group did this in order to give everyone a reassurance before the comprehensive clinic is opened..."
"I also accept it. Before this, we did misunderstand Shen's Group's behavior. For a brand that was completely strange to start the volunteer treatment for both the people and the people, ordinary people would certainly be unable to accept it at the first time. However, Shen's Group chose to put the first volunteer diagnostic team in the Family Council of Medical Group of the Southern Province to make the people think highly of themselves. Moreover, the masters who are in charge of them take the volunteer treatment first and let everyone see that after these masters are all free, this volunteer hunting event began to promote to the people and put effort into it. It's really amazing!"
"We will report your new ideas truthfully to the masses so that we can resolve the misunderstanding that we have caused to your group and let the public know a different Shen's Group!"
In the face of the reporters' comments, Jason slowly stood up from the chair and bowed deeply. "Thank you, everyone."
Although Hu Li was exasperated and exasperated, there was nothing she could do in the face of the betrayal of her colleagues. After all, the influence of her family of media could not compete with the entire industry.
At the end of the press conference, the media reporters took their leave one after another.
When Hu Li was ready to lose, Nolan walked down to the stage and said, "Ms. Hu, if you don't have any important task, I want to ask you to stay alone."
"What's wrong?" Hu Li said vigilantly. "Director Li, are you planning to use the attitude of a victor to ridicule the defeated general?"
"Ms. Hu, you're mistaken. I'm very interested in your report last night. I don't know if I have the chance to discuss it with you," Nolan said with a smile.
Hu Li was an outstanding professional reporter. She was very sensitive to any one of the drafts she had written aftercareful consideration.
When she first met Nolan, Hu Li also knew that the woman, who was called the director of Public Relations Department of Shen's Group, was not simple. Moreover, as her defeated opponent, Hu Li also wanted to know where she lost.
"Alright." Hu Li nodded.
Nolan looked back at Jason and then took Hu Li to the closed lounge next to her.
"Director Li, I don't know if you have any good ideas for the article I released last night. Please don't say it out loud. I really want to hear it." Hu Li directly said.
"I don't dare to say it. Today, I invited Mrs. Hu here because I want to give you a small gift." Nolan said with a smile.
"A small gift? You're going to give it to me?" Hu Li looked at her in surprise. In this match, she had already suffered a crushing defeat. She had never heard of a winner giving a gift to a loser.
Nolan did not explain. Instead, she turned around and walked to the wall-facing bookcase. She took out an envelope and walked over.
"The gift is inside." Nolan handed the envelope to Hu Li and said with a smile.
"What is it?" Puzzled, Hu Li accepted the envelope. She used her hand to test the amount inside, but she didn't immediately open it.
"Surprise." Nolan said.
Then, she directly brought away the envelope in Hu Li's hands. Under Hu Li's gaze, she opened it and brought out a long strip of white paper. She then tossed the envelope onto the ground and handed the paper to Hu Li before saying, "If there isn't a problem, then this is yours."
The check.
There was a cheque that hadn't been filled out for a long time in the envelope.
Hu Li's eyes swept over the cheque's cover with suspicion. However, when she saw the amount written in traditional text, her heart violently contracted, and her eyes immediately widened.
"Four, four hundred..." Hu Li opened her mouth wide, feeling that breathing became extremely difficult.
"Hypocrite, don't say it out loud." Nolan stopped her with a smile.
"This is, this is... Why did you give me so much money?" Hu Li said in disbelief. She had never seen so much money before. Even if she carried out this mission's reward, it still wasn't that much, to the point where it didn't even have a third of it!
"Of course I have to pay. I have to buy you." Nolan chuckled. "There is no free lunch in the world. Don't tell me that you don't know that."
"Why do you want to buy me?" asked Hu Li.
"Before this, I'd like to ask you a question. Of course, you can also choose not to answer." Nolan said.
"Go ahead and ask." At this point, Hu Li didn't have any other choice.
"Which would you choose in front of professional ethics and money?" asked Nolan.
"You!" Hu Li was so humiliated that she almost flew into a rage. She immediately left in anger.
Since the incident of accepting money as a fake news was exposed, Hu Li's reputation in the media circle had plummeted. She had been criticized for collecting money for slandering her competitors. Today, Nolan chose to ask her this question. As a very proud Hu Li, she naturally could not stand it.
However, the amount of money written on the check in Nolan's hand was too tempting.
If the commission was excluded, he had to work for at least 20 years before he could earn such a sum.
"Do you know why I hit you?" Nolan asked as she took out a tissue from her purse and slowly wiped away the palm that she had just used to hit him. Her expression did not change at all, as though she had nothing to do with what had just happened.
"Why?" Hu Li roared in a low voice.
"Because of the false report you released last night, you shouldn't slander him... At least he never said that he only treated the patients in the upper class and ignored ordinary people, didn't he?" Nolan said lightly, "Also, since you chose the money I gave you, I must take away your dignity. You should know how to write the message later, shouldn't you?"
"Got it." Hu Li said.
"This is a check of one million yuan. I was going to slap you in the face. You won't lose out even if you get the extra one million yuan." Nolan took out her purse, took out a check of one million yuan from her purse, put it together with another four million yuan and put it in Hu Li's hand.
"You can go now. Go to Giant Star Media directly to find my secretary tomorrow. I suddenly don't want to see you anymore." After saying that, Nolan turned around and left the lounge.
Hu Li looked at Nolan's arrogant and insufferably arrogant back. She originally hated her so much that she gnashed her teeth, but when she picked up the two checks in her hands and carefully looked at the numbers again, she suddenly felt as if it didn't matter anymore.
A million per slap.
It would be enough for a lot of people to be beaten into billionaires.
Maybe he couldn't rank high enough.
Money! Who in this world could refuse the temptation of money?
When Nolan left Villa No.18, Jason was chatting with Fred by the lake in the town.
Jason saw Nolan's sunny smile and asked with a smile, "Is the matter settled?"
"Of course, she doesn't need as much as you do," Nolan said...
Fred couldn't understand what they were talking about at all, but Jason and Nolan understood the ambiguity and ripples in their words.
"Ms. Li, it's just buying off a small reporter. As for the sky-high price of four million yuan, with these four million yuan, we can find ten media with the same influence as the fine weekly newspaper to publicize what happened today. There is no need to waste it on one person." Fred was puzzled.
Nolan shook his head with a smile and said, "It's different. Jinghua Weekly has always been stirring up trouble behind our backs. It's also his lead that he is most active in slandering us. If the public discovers that they start to speak for us now, will there be anyone who will question the Shen's Group's strength?"
"Also, even though Hu Li's professional ethics aren't good, her level of abilities aren't bad either. I need to ask her to understand the plans and measures the other party is planning on. Moreover, she bought off an enemy general with four million. What's so unfair about that?"
