The warm sunlight shines through the glass windows of the restaurant and falls on the tables of Shen Qingli, Pei Yi and Chu Xiaoyu.
Pei Yi took a sip of juice, looked at Shen Qingli with concern, and said solemnly: "Yes, Ah Li, you don't want to get involved with that scumbag again."
"Although she has good looks and money, she has a good character!"
"I definitely have to rely on you. I can ask my brother to call the company's bodyguards to protect Dabao and Xiaobao."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingli quickly refused: "Yibo, don't bother Brother Pei, I can find it myself."
"Ali, you are being too polite. What's the problem? Nothing is more important than the safety of Dabao and Xiaobao. Also, are they going to kindergarten too?"
Shen Qingli nodded gently, "I have already found a kindergarten, and we will go to school next Monday."
"Okay, don't worry about the private bodyguard. I'll let my brother find one. People who have been used before are more reliable, so you can use them with confidence, right?" Pei Yi said firmly, without any doubt.
Shen Qingli thought for a moment, understood Pei Yi's good intentions, and stopped refusing: "Okay, tell me how much it costs."
Pei Yi knew Shen Qingli's personality. She liked favors, so he readily agreed: "Okay, I'll ask my brother how much it costs and then tell you."
At this time, a lady sitting far away was enthusiastically recording her dining experience.
She is a well-known food blogger on Weibo with many fans.
She picked up her phone and took a panoramic photo of the restaurant. Coincidentally, Shen Qingli was in the shot.
Without giving it much thought, the lady skillfully edited a Weibo post, sharing the restaurant's location and praising the delicious food.
After the announcement, the news spread quickly like ripples.
However, Shen Qingli and the others were unaware and were still immersed in their pleasant conversation, but a storm was quietly brewing.
Pei Yi's life motto is that no trouble can be solved by a delicious meal. If it works, it must be because he has eaten enough delicious food.
She ordered a table full of delicacies, all of which were Shen Qingli's favorites, hoping to make her forget those unpleasant things for a while.
The photo that was accidentally captured was quickly seen by Su Xinyao's die-hard fans.
Some of them lived too far away from the restaurant, and after reading the news, they excitedly rushed to the restaurant.
Even those reporters who had been banned by Zhou Yanchen gathered here like sharks smelling blood.
They went to the hospital where Shen Qingli worked the previous day but ran into a wall. The hospital had strict security and they couldn't get close at all.
Just when they were in a state of panic, Shen Qingli's position was suddenly revealed on the Internet. For them, this was undoubtedly a godsend.
Shen Qingli and her friends had just finished their meal when they heard a noise coming from outside the restaurant door.
The man turned his head in confusion, only to see a group of people rushing in, breaking the tranquility of the restaurant.
Pei Yi frowned slightly, her face full of joy: "What are these people doing? So noisy."
Chu Xiaoyu looked carefully and her face changed suddenly. She recognized several reporters who were once famous in Beijing in the crowd and immediately became alert: "Sister Ali, there seems to be a reporter in there."
Before he finished speaking, the group of people walked straight towards Shen Qingli.
Shen Qingli's heart tensed up, and he thought to himself: Are they coming for me?
Pei Yi and Chu Xiaoyu also realized the danger instantly. Pei Yi reacted quickly and said urgently: "Ali, go out the back door quickly. Xiaoyu and I will stop you."
Unfortunately, everything happened too suddenly and they were still a step late.
As soon as Shen Qingli stood up, the group of people had already come from a distance, quickly surrounded them, and trapped them in the middle.
Shen Qingli's face was calm, but his eyes were cold. He looked at the leading man and asked calmly, "What do you want to do?"
Pei Yibo and Chu Xiaoyu also immediately stood beside Shen Qingli, their eyes full of vigilance.
The man leaned forward slightly, with a false smile on his face, but his tone was somewhat threatening: "Ms. Shen, we don't want to do anything. We just want you to go to Zhou Yanchen and plead for us, that's all."
Shen Qingli took a deep breath and said in a humble voice: "You and I have nothing to do with each other. Thank you for helping me."
A hint of sarcasm flashed across the man's face, and he chuckled, "It doesn't matter? We heard that Zhou Yanchen has been looking for you to remarry recently. Does it mean it doesn't matter?"
Pei Yi was furious when he saw this group of people approaching step by step, and raised his voice: "Ali and Zhou Yanchen have nothing to do with you."
"You guys are blocking us here like this. You know you are breaking the law."
"If you want to get into trouble, get out of here now."
However, since it was so easy for this group of people to find Shen Qingli, how could they quit so easily?
The man showed no sign of backing down, instead his tone became even more arrogant: "If Miss Shen agrees to our request today, we will leave."
Shen Qingli looked calm, but his eyes were firm, "You are all reporters, right?"
Hearing this, those people thought she was going to compromise, and they immediately perked up and answered in unison, "Yes."
Shen Qingli sneered, his voice clear and powerful: "For journalists like you who have no moral bottom line, being banned is a blessing to mankind."
"The duty of journalism is to convey truth and objectivity, but you have ignored facts and chosen means for your own selfish interests.
Being banned is your own fault, you can’t blame others.”
As soon as these words were spoken, those people looked at each other and their faces turned extremely ugly.
The leading man's face turned pale and red, and he wanted to refute, but he was speechless.
Shen Qingli continued, "You guys are blocking the way here, which not only affects our dining but also disturbs other customers. This behavior has already posed a threat to us."
"I advise you to get out of here before the police come."
However, things did not go as Shen Qingli wished.
After these words were spoken, those people did not move, but took a step closer to them.
The tense atmosphere was instantly pushed to its peak, and the air seemed to become sticky.
Pei Yibo and Chu Xiaoyu subconsciously leaned towards Shen Qingli, standing shoulder to shoulder, as if building a solid wall to resist the coming storm.
The leading man narrowed his eyes slightly and took a step forward. His figure looked a little fierce under the light.
놛's voice was low and hoarse, with a bit of desperate determination: "Ms. Shen, do you think barefoot people are afraid of people wearing shoes?"
"We just want you to say a few good words to Zhou Yanchen. It's just a matter of a few words for you."
Shen Qingli chuckled: "Since you have been working in the journalism industry for so many years, you should know that what Su Xinyao said must be true."
"But you chose to believe it and wrote those reports."
"Then you should pay for your actions."
"You are all adults. You will understand these principles even if I tell you."
Shen Qingli's voice was gentle and powerful, and every word seemed to be telling a controversial fact.
