Chapter 1438 1540. Show your strength
In recent years, due to the Korean Wave, many Korean barbecue restaurants have opened in China.
The Korean-fired buffet barbecue located near the newspaper office is where Yu Hai and Da Beard often come to have dinner.
It's not that the barbecue here is so delicious, but that it's cheap enough. The price of 69 yuan per person is affordable for most office workers in today's society. And the all-you-can-eat meat for 69 yuan is a big deal for Yu Haihe. Even for a bearded man, he is very satisfied.
"Of the two plates of pork belly, this one is particularly tender when grilled and not greasy. You don't need to wrap vegetables in it and can be eaten directly as a dipping sauce."
"His shrimps are quite fresh today. Let's get two more plates of large shrimps."
"And this Australian beef, let's also get a plate and some garlic slices, otherwise this thing will be too greasy when grilled."
"I'll take the mutton chops as well, and the silkworm chrysalises..."
After the two grown men entered the store and paid the money, they turned into hard-working little ants. In a short time, the table was filled with dishes. Finally, they even ordered a dozen beers openly, because the drinks were not included in the meal price. Yes, it costs extra.
"We won't go home until we get drunk tonight!" Yu Hai shouted, holding up a bottle of beer.
"If you don't get drunk, go ahead!" The bearded man did the same. He clinked a glass of beer with Yu Hai, drank it all in one gulp, and let out a burp.
After a bottle of beer, the two of them chatted while eating, with the energy of being slightly tipsy and accompanied by the aroma of barbecue.
"I have been working in the newspaper for almost 20 years, a full 20 years. When the newspaper's performance was good, I worked diligently. Now that the performance is poor, I didn't say I would leave because I have feelings for this place."
"But is that editor-in-chief doing human affairs? We both stood in the cold wind of minus 15 degrees for many hours, and our faces were almost frostbitten to get this news, but the editor-in-chief only did it because of Wang Danyang's few words He gave the credit to him, and in turn complained that we were not serious about our work!”
"I can't swallow this breath." The bearded man was so angry that he slapped the table hard, which not only shocked Yu Hai, but also the waiter not far away, who came over to ask about the situation. .
"I'm sorry, it's okay, I just got hit." Yu Hai quickly explained.
"Guests, please be safe and call me if you need anything." The waiter replied. He did not give the bearded man a white eye because he slapped the table and yelled, but said with a very gentle and polite smile.
This is why Yu Hai likes to come to this store, because the waiters in this store are very 'sensible', and at least he is very satisfied with the service attitude and details.
"Old Hu, I'm not worse off than you. I should be the first to discuss this matter. If I hadn't gone to the welfare home to interview, who would have known that Nie Wei and Shu Chang were doing charity activities. Those two couples are so low-key. It’s not like a star.”
"That's right, this is the first time I've seen celebrities doing charity activities without media reporters or even a camera. Who is doing this for? If you ask me, this is really a kind-hearted and good person. It's a pity that The editor-in-chief and those two wicked men Wang Danyang were fooled." The bearded man also sighed.
The two of them spent the whole day with Nie Wei and Shu Chang, and they were deeply touched.
They have filmed many celebrities doing charity activities, but most of them have a purpose. However, as long as the children really benefit, they are also willing to give some good reports to the celebrities. After all, no matter what profit purpose is involved, at least this The result is good, and it is better than some keyboard warriors doing verbal charity.
But it’s really rare for them to do such pure loving activities as Nie Wei and Shu Chang.
"The main reason is that the status of the couple is there. There is no need for such reputation and popularity. And it's not like you don't know that the fund established by Nie Wei can donate hundreds of millions of dollars every year. He is here You really set an example." Yu Hai couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
He has never benefited from Nie Wei's charity fund, but there are practical examples around him. Nie Wei is really low-key and serious in his charity activities. If nothing else, there are hundreds of hope primary schools across the country. That says it all.
"So, I didn't think much about the news about these two people. I just wanted to promote them as a couple and bring more positive energy to society. But who knows, the news we shot by ourselves, In the end, that bastard Wang Danyang used a crooked idea to snatch it away. "
"Now that I think about it, I feel very sorry for Nie Wei and his wife." Yu Hai took another sip of wine.
"Who isn't? It's just that good people like us are easily bullied." The bearded man also drank half the glass of beer, then blushed and suddenly thought of something, lowered his voice and asked curiously: "But what do you mean, Wang?" Danyang’s guess is not unreasonable.”
"Nie Wei and Shu Chang have been married for how many years. It stands to reason that their children should be able to take care of themselves, but there is no movement from these two people. And even though they look young, Shu Chang will be three years old this year. He's thirteen years old, and Nie Wei is thirty-six years old. You said you don't want a baby at such an old age, right?"
"Be careful!" Yu Hai shouted, then looked at the waiter not far away.
"I know, I'm just guessing." The bearded man smiled sarcastically.
"Who knows about this, and even if it is, it's not our turn to make irresponsible remarks." Yu Hai said with a smile: "After all, this is someone else's housework."
"That's right. I'm just curious. If Nie Wei and Shu Chang lose their baby, who will leave their hundreds of billions of family property to?"
"You don't care, I won't leave it to you anyway."
"Hahahaha, if you can really give me some, even 1% or even 1/1000, then I will be rich. I don't know which lucky person will be reborn into Nie Wei's family. That's really shouting the golden spoon, more powerful than the current prince."
The two were laughing and chatting, and the door of the barbecue restaurant was pushed open again.
At first, the two didn't care. After all, this restaurant has good service, cheap prices, and a variety of ingredients. The daily customer flow is not small. Isn't it normal to have customers?
It's just that the two people who came in were dressed a little too formally, all in black suits and white shirts, looking like bodyguards.
After the two entered the house, they first scanned the room until they found Yu Hai and the big bearded man who were chatting, determined the target, and then walked over and sat at the table not far from the two.
Yu Hai and the big bearded man were immersed in the atmosphere of resentment and gossip. They just looked at the two people and didn't care, and continued to talk about their own things.
But after chatting for more than two hours, they had almost finished eating and were about to get up and leave. The two men in black suits who had been eating silently on the side also stood up and followed Yu Hai and the big bearded man out of the barbecue restaurant.
At this time, Yu Hai and the big bearded man felt something was wrong, because these two people were obviously following them.
"Do you know them?" Yu Hai asked the big bearded man in a low voice.
"How do I know them?" The big bearded man quickly denied it.
Hearing this answer, Yu Hai stopped and turned to look at the two men in black suits behind him.
If it was the middle of the night when there was no one on the street, Yu Hai would be scared to death if he was followed by someone like this, but it didn't matter now. Although it was dark, it was still evening, especially when it was time to get off work, there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and Yu Hai didn't believe that these two people dared to "rob" them on the street.
"Two brothers, do you have something to do with us?" After Yu Hai stood still, he saw that the men in black suits also stopped, and he knew that his guess was correct. These two people were indeed coming for them.
The bearded man swallowed nervously, trying to put on an aggressive posture, but he didn't know that in the eyes of the man in the black suit, these two people were "weaklings" who could be dealt with in three seconds.
"Mr. Nie wants to see you, come with us." The man in the black suit said directly, and while he was speaking, a bright business car had already stopped beside the few people.
Yu Hai and the bearded man looked at each other, not knowing whether to meet or not.
After just thinking for a moment, Yu Hai made up his mind to meet!
Although he took the news about Nie Wei and Shu Chang, it was Wang Danyang who came up with the idea, and it was the editor-in-chief who decided to publish it, which had nothing to do with him. Moreover, he and the bearded man took the initiative to report the matter to Nie Wei so that they could prepare for it in advance.
I think this matter should not involve his family anyway.
Even in the worst case scenario, Nie Wei is the kind of person who is so petty that he would vent his anger on innocent people for this matter, then he would accept his bad luck, but it is impossible to think that, although he can't be angry with Nie Wei, he saw the whole process of Nie Wei and Shu Chang doing charity activities that day.
He doesn't believe that such a person would be petty.
Although he is sure that Nie Wei will not vent his anger on him, Yu Hai is still very nervous all the way. Even worse than him is the big beard, whose face is pale with fear, and his clothes are soaked with cold sweat. If you don't know, you might think he came out of the shower without drying it.
The car drove farther and farther. As a senior reporter, he recognized that the direction seemed to be heading towards the university town.
Sure enough, the car soon drove into a street near the university town. Yu Hai also recognized this place. It is a famous literary street in Kyoto. Many students from art colleges come here to practice, that is, singing on the street or performing musical instruments, and there are many bars and cafes here.
Therefore, there are many talented art students working part-time here. I heard that the most talented ones can earn six figures a month, including the money from tips.
The car finally stopped at the door of a bar.
The man in black suit led Yu Hai and the bearded man into the bar. There was no noise as imagined, nor colorful neon lights or colorful lasers.
This is a typical high-end bar.
The decoration is gorgeous, the style is elegant, and the environment is comfortable. It is not a place for students outside to spend their youth, but a place for business people to negotiate, or some petty bourgeoisie people to spend their leisure time.
What surprised Yu Hai and the bearded man was that they didn't see anyone since they entered the room, not even a waiter.
Only one of the two men in black suits took them inside, and the other simply stood by the door.
The quiet environment added a certain burden to the two people.
The facade of this bar looks inconspicuous, but the space inside is very large. It felt quite far after walking through a gallery before they entered the main hall of the bar. Yu Hai saw Nie Wei sitting at the bar at first sight, and smiled and waved at them.
Nie Wei's initiative to greet Yu Hai put his heart at ease. At least his attitude seemed good, not like he was going to blame him.
The man in the black suit stopped and signaled Yu Hai and the bearded man to go by themselves.
"What do you want to drink? Whiskey or brandy. If you don't like foreign wine, there are Chinese wines. How about Moutai?"
"Well, we just drank wine and came here." Yu Hai declined.
The bearded man was a little tempted by these expensive wines, but after hearing Yu Hai's answer, he could only shake his head regretfully, indicating that he didn't drink either.
"Let's have a few cocktails."
Yu Hai was a little excited when he heard this, thinking that Nie Wei would personally mix cocktails for them. As a result, he saw Nie Wei find three cups from the bottom of the bar, put some ice cubes in them, and then took out three bottles of RIO in front of Yu Hai's astonishment.
The few people clinked their glasses, and Nie Wei took a sip of the wine and put down the glass.
"Tell me what happened."
Yu Hai heard this and quickly handed over the glass. He immediately poured out the story of how he accidentally discovered Nie Wei and Shu Chang doing charity activities in the welfare home, until Wang Danyang suddenly proposed that idea, and then the editor-in-chief decided to report it.
"When I took pictures of you and your wife, I really didn't expect them to do that kind of report with these contents. I saw that you and your wife were so serious and low-key in doing charity activities. I was actually very moved. I just wanted to write a report about you and your wife bringing positive energy to the society. I have thought of the title, but... Alas." Yu Hai said this and couldn't help sighing.
The bearded man on the side was not good at speaking, but he knew he should nod and agree at this time: "Mr. Nie, what we said is true."
"Because of the news to you, the editor-in-chief now suspects the two of us. Now we are the kind of people who are excluded in the newspaper. Today, the editor-in-chief praised everyone in the newspaper, but only pulled us two down. I feel really depressed when I think about this."
Nie Wei did not express any opinions throughout the whole process, and listened to the two people's narration and complaints silently.
"Do you have evidence? I mean the evidence that they discussed spreading rumors and deliberately making random guesses?" Nie Wei asked.
"Yes!" Yu Hai answered immediately, and then signaled the bearded man with his eyes, and the latter quickly took out his mobile phone.
Nie Wei listened to a few audio clips, then looked at Yu Hai and the bearded man, showing a satisfied smile.
These two people are really smart. They really let them record the "dry goods". With these, Nie Wei can also show his fists and feet.
Of course, Nie Wei would not forget the contributions of Yu Hai and Big Beard. After collecting the audio, Nie Wei asked, "Since you are being excluded by the current newspaper, do you want to change your working environment?"
