Chapter 150: The Uncrowned King
Wang Shanshan was stunned. Isn’t this cousin the boss who is owed money? Why does he have such an attitude?
She stepped forward to stop the old cat and said, "Even if you are her cousin, you can't do this."
The old cat stopped and snorted, "Who are you?"
"I'm a reporter from Yangcheng Daily," Wang Shanshan replied immediately. "I already know about the IOU. I can help you with this."
The young man standing next to her heard Wang Shanshan's words and hurried forward and said, "Shanshan, this matter..."
Before he could finish his words, Lao Mao winked at the two younger brothers he had brought with him. The two immediately understood and stepped forward to shield the young man behind them without leaving any trace.
The old cat looked at Wang Shanshan and asked doubtfully, "Can you really help me?"
"As long as there is enough evidence, this matter can be completely resolved." Wang Shanshan replied firmly.
"The other party has a strong background." Old Cat reminded kindly.
Wang Shanshan replied righteously, "As journalists, we are here to expose the dark side of society. No matter who they are, we will report it!"
The old cat nodded and his expression softened.
He sighed and said, "I'm the owner of the Arc de Triomphe Bar. Business used to be pretty good, but this guy has been coming to our bar since we opened, spending a total of 20 million. When I asked for repayment, he only gave me an IOU. As a result, my bar is now cash-strapped and is about to close."
The old cat became more and more anxious as he spoke, and by the time he said this, his eyes had already started to turn red.
"I have dozens of brothers now... No. I have a large family to take care of. I also borrowed money to open the bar. Now the creditors are coming to collect the debt. This is pushing me to the brink of despair."
The scene of a burly man crying was somewhat contagious. After the people around him listened to his tragic story, veins on the foreheads of some of them bulged.
"Didn't you ask him for money? How did he respond?" Wang Shanshan asked puzzledly.
"Yes." The old cat replied, "Why not?"
The old cat rubbed his eyes vigorously and continued, "I went there twice and he sent people to beat me up twice. If I wasn't so impulsive and thick-skinned, I would have been lying in the hospital by now."
Old Cat changed his tone and said apologetically, "Actually, if he doesn't have any money, it wouldn't matter if I gritted my teeth and held on for a few days. Who doesn't have difficulties these days? But this guy is not without money. He owns more than ten luxury cars. He is deliberately holding on to my money."
What an honest person, yet he was forced into this state!
Wang Shanshan was also moved by Lao Mao's words at this time. The IOU and the person were there, and what Lao Mao just said was reasonable and logical, so she couldn't help but believe it.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered who this debtor Ding Xinran was. Wasn't this person present at the Guangdong Top Ten Outstanding Young Representatives Awards Ceremony last month?
Moreover, one of her colleagues told her that Ding Xinran had an extraordinary background and specially introduced Ding Xinran to her.
Thinking of that person's background, Wang Shanshan finally understood why the cousins came to the newspaper office to make trouble, but could she alone shake them?
Seeing the old cat's miserable expression, Wang Shanshan gritted her teeth and said, "Come with me. I'll help you get justice for this matter."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Lao Mao patted Pan Lei's shoulder and said, "Cousin, you go back first. Come back home after your cousin has resolved this matter."
Pan Lei nodded, thanked Wang Shanshan, and prepared to leave.
Wang Shanshan hurriedly said, "Xiaolei, wait a minute."
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and said to Pan Lei, "I'll leave a photo."
She is a journalist who has been in the industry for two years and naturally knows how to attract readers' attention. A weak and beautiful woman will always get more attention than a big man.
Pan Lei panicked instantly and looked hurriedly at the old cat's face.
When Old Cat first instructed her, he didn't tell her to take pictures!
Seeing Pan Lei panicking, Lao Mao hurriedly said, "Cousin, just let this reporter take a picture."
Pan Lei's panic was understandable. The other party was a hostess at Juye Bar, and many people knew her. If it was discovered and published in the newspaper, the matter would be exposed instantly.
After hearing what the old cat said, Pan Lei nodded and put on a pitiful look for Wang Shanshan to take a photo.
Wang Shanshan nodded to Pan Lei and said, "I will definitely seek justice for you in this matter."
After saying that, she took Old Cat into the newspaper office, and the two of them went straight to a reception room in the newspaper office.
After Wang Shanshan poured Lao Mao a cup of tea, she conducted a brief interview with Lao Mao and then took a photo of the IOU in Lao Mao's hand.
Then she asked Lao Mao to wait and walked out of the reception room with the interview manuscript.
Not long after, Wang Shanshan came back with an angry face. After thinking about Ding Xinran's background, she realized that this manuscript might not be passed. Unexpectedly, the facts were exactly as she expected.
Not only was her manuscript rejected, but the editor-in-chief of the newspaper even dissuaded her from reporting on the matter after seeing the debtor!
All these voices of resistance instead aroused Wang Shanshan's rebellious heart.
She felt that although she was not a person who hated evil, if her subordinates ignored the matter under pressure, they would probably have to compromise more and more in the future. How could she live up to the title of uncrowned king?
Since it doesn't work with the newspaper, there is still the Internet, so she will expose this matter no matter what.
Wang Shanshan walked into the conference room and looked at the old cat sitting inside and said, "Come with me. I will definitely help you with this matter."
The old cat nodded and followed out with a grateful look on his face.
Soon, a real-name reporting post titled "A young man from Guangzhou maliciously owed a bar 20 million yuan, causing the other party's family to be broken up" appeared on the Internet, and the poster was none other than Yangcheng Daily reporter... Wang Shanshan.
This kind of real-name reporting is extremely risky, but it also attracted a lot of attention. For a time, major domestic mainstream portals reprinted it.
----
Tang Shuo and Jesus stopped the car outside the Yulong Club. After Tang Shuo said a few words to Jesus, he took out a hat and a pair of sunglasses he had bought on the road, and then put on another coat.
After Jesus put on a simple disguise, the two of them swaggered into the guild hall.
When a female manager on duty saw Jesus and his companions come in, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Hello, please show me your membership card."
Jesus shook his head and said in English, "Sorry, beautiful lady, I don't speak Chinese."
Jesus had already fully analyzed the situation last night.
Now that he has offended the Suns, first of all, he can never go back to Europe, and secondly, escape is not an option.
Once he provokes the other party's anger, he will have nowhere to hide. No one knows how far the Sun's intelligence network has spread.
At this time, his dear God was naturally unreliable, and he could only stay with Tang Shuo temporarily and pin his hopes on Tang Shuo's military power.
Tang Shuo was the person whose strength was closest to that of Sun that he had ever seen. The other party might be able to hold out against Sun for a while, and then he would wait for an opportunity to provide cover. Only in this way would they have a chance to escape.
Therefore, he would naturally do his best to do what Tang Shuo ordered him to do.
In fact, in addition to life issues, there is another insignificant reason.
Based on his observations over such a long period of time, Tang Shuo seemed to have a very ambitious goal, and he also wanted to see how far Tang Shuo could go.
The smile on the duty manager's face seemed to grow even wider, and he repeated the question in English.
Jesus shook his head and replied calmly: "I don't have a membership card. Xin Ran Ding asked me to come to discuss something. Where is he?"
"Our manager just went to the fourth floor," the female manager replied, then continued, "Excuse me, do you have an appointment? I can tell you."
"He told me to go up immediately after arriving." Jesus smiled and said, "Take me up directly to him. This will be a surprise for him as well."
The female manager hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Okay, follow me."
Then she turned around and led Jesus, Tang Shuo and Tang Shuo to the fourth floor.
