Chapter 1030: Confused
"Sun You."
Since Zheng Lu asked, Li Cheng naturally had to answer.
But the answer was so simple that it only said his name.
Zheng Lu: …
He should know what he wants to ask, so he doesn't want to say it?
"Hello, Mr. Sun. Editor Li, we will leave first."
In order to avoid embarrassment, he still said hello and asked his colleague to go out with him.
"sit."
Li Cheng and Sun You were the only ones left in the office, and Li Cheng took the initiative to ask him to sit down.
They haven't had any contact since the last time they met at a party at his house.
Even when he sent the money, he was not at home, so he just gave the money to his housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to pass it on.
"I went out for a few days a few days ago, and when I came back I heard about Uncle Ye's situation, so I came to see you today."
Sun You took the initiative to bring up this matter. Actually, he had another purpose in coming here today. He just happened to hear the conversation between Li Cheng and his colleagues, and he immediately became interested.
Li Cheng didn't say anything, and there was really nothing to say.
"Isn't your newspaper worried about having no news material? Anyway, I'm free these days and can do some reporting for you."
Sun You felt that with his status, he was naturally more influential than those "messy" people outside.
"Why bother you?"
Li Cheng refused without even thinking about it.
Sun You seemed not surprised at all by his rejection, and he had even thought about it.
"Li Cheng, there's no need for you to be so distant with me. Our fathers are such good friends, if they knew, they would definitely agree with what I'm doing.
And this.”
As he said this, he took out a thick envelope from his pocket and handed it to Li Cheng.
Even without opening it, Li Cheng knew what was inside.
Because this envelope was the one he sent a few days ago.
"I made my words very clear that day, but you actually gave me the money. Is the relationship between us less important than a necklace?"
Sun You said this as a matter of course, with a hint of "dissatisfaction" in his tone.
It just so happened that he was not at home during those days, otherwise the money would never have reached his hands.
Li Cheng immediately understood his purpose today, "Let's put things in perspective. Xiaoxue was the one who caused the trouble, so naturally I have to pay the compensation."
"Why are you so stubborn? If my father knew about this, he would definitely blame me."
"If my father knew about this, he would definitely make me do this."
Li Cheng responded with the same words as Sun You, and his attitude was extremely firm.
Sun You finally stopped smiling and became serious. "If you keep rejecting me like this, I will misunderstand you."
"Misunderstand?"
"Yes, those who know that Editor-in-Chief Li clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs and is unwilling to take advantage of his friends. Those who don't know would think that it was you who cared about the joke I made earlier and wanted to compete fairly with you for Ye Yao's words.
It's just a joke, don't take it seriously.
Ye Yao is your fiancée, and you can’t tease your friend’s wife. I can’t do such a thing.”
At the end, Sun You took the initiative to emphasize.
"How could that be? Of course I know you are joking."
Li Cheng echoed his words, and the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became tense.
But it was only for a moment, and Sun You started laughing again.
"That's good. I think we should each make some concessions. I'll take the money, but you also have to agree to the interview I just mentioned. How about that?"
Li Cheng didn't expect that he would be so obsessed with this matter.
If they continue to reject him face to face now, it would probably be more than just the two of them who would be embarrassed.
"Let me think about it and give you an answer later."
…
Zheng Lu sat in his seat, feeling that he had heard the name "Sun You" somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
At this time Li Cheng and Sun You walked out from inside.
"Then I'll wait for your news. Oh, by the way, how is Ye Yao doing recently? I contacted her, but she hasn't been to the store, and it seems that no one answered the phone at home."
Before leaving, Sun You "suddenly" thought of asking Ye Yao.
"Yaoyao and Auntie are outside now. There are often reporters from the compound. I guess Yao Yipin will not be there in the next few days."
Li Cheng explained, but he refused to mention Ye Yao's current contact information.
Sun You didn't even ask any more questions. "Wait until you're all done with your work, and then we can have a good reunion."
"Okay." Li Cheng agreed immediately.
Zheng Lu, who was standing aside, had been staring at Sun You. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he finally remembered where he had heard this name.
Sun You had just arrived in Fengcheng not long ago. He was the famous rich second generation.
Not only is his father a famous entrepreneur, he himself also owns several very famous companies.
Although his early entrepreneurial journey was indeed inseparable from his father's support and connections, he himself is also very capable.
In particular, a project he is currently developing and growing is very topical.
I really didn't expect that Li Cheng was actually friends with Sun You. How come I had never heard him mention it before? If I report on Sun You, it would definitely be able to temporarily save the newspaper from being in a state of decline these days.
"Li Cheng, is Sun You the famous rich second generation in the legend?"
Li Cheng had just come back from sending someone back, and Zheng Lu immediately came to his side excitedly.
This man was simply the timely rain sent by God to them! Li Cheng looked at him seriously and did not answer his question.
But Zheng Lu already felt confident and looked even more excited.
"How did you get to know him?"
"I'm not familiar with him, and this is only the second time we've met."
Li Cheng told the truth and then walked straight towards his office, obviously not wanting to continue chatting with him.
Zheng Lu looked puzzled, "Are you kidding? The tone and attitude of the person talking to you just now clearly showed that you have a good relationship."
"His father and my father were good friends."
It was obvious that Li Cheng was just being perfunctory.
Zheng Lu seemed to finally understand what he meant.
"No matter if we are familiar with each other or not, since they have already taken the initiative to ask, let's just take it."
And he had no reason to refuse.
But what Zheng Lu didn't expect was that Li Cheng didn't give him the answer he wanted. He just walked into the office with his back straight.
Zheng Lu stood there, confused.
So is this a yes or no?
