A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

Chapter 146 Negotiating with Xu Li

Gu Qinghuan in the photo was smiling calmly, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

Zhong Luo Ning also came over to take a look: "Our Huan Huan is so pretty."

"Haha, this reporter is quite good at taking pictures..." Gu Qinghuan was halfway through his words when he remembered something.

"Yes, reporter! How could I forget him!

Xu Huaian, do you still remember the reporter Xu Li who interviewed me when I came to Beijing? He said he was a reporter from People's Daily and he even left us his contact information!

"It's like sending a pillow when you're sleepy. Isn't this just in time? Why are we still trying to find a newspaper? Why don't we ask him first? If we can get a column in the People's Daily, I don't think anyone will dare to protect Xu Jianguo."

"Okay, I remember the address is still in your bag, let's go check it out first."

The two of them did what they said, packed up and went out to find someone.

Fortunately, we still have Zhong Luoning at home to look after the children. The older babies are all obedient children and it is not difficult to take care of them. Youran also listens to her mother very well.

So Gu Qinghuan and Xu Huaian safely handed the three children to her and went out.

Xu Li has been in high spirits recently. Ever since he came back from a business trip, he wrote a manuscript based on the footage he accidentally shot at the train station and gave it to the editor-in-chief.

When the editor-in-chief saw it, he immediately was attracted by the educational value of the article and thought it had great potential, so he applied to put it on the front page.

In the past few years since he joined the newspaper, he has always dealt with marginal matters and the articles he wrote were always in the marginal areas. He has never really taken on a major responsibility!

My colleagues are so envious.

The editor-in-chief has been thinking highly of him recently, thinking that he has eyes that are good at discovering life. A salary increase has already been achieved and promotion is just around the corner.

In order to prepare for today's first release, he stayed up until midnight last night and only went home to rest after confirming the layout with the printing department. Inevitably, he got up late today.

When he was humming a song and preparing to go to work, he happened to meet Xu Huaian and Gu Qinghuan who came to look for him.

His lucky goddess, Xu Li saw Gu Qinghuan at a glance: "Comrade Gu, long time no see, nice to meet you!"

Xu Li took the initiative to extend his hand, his eyes full of stars. He was not married yet and had no resistance to a woman like Gu Qinghuan who was both beautiful and intelligent.

It’s a pity that she is already married.

Xu Huaian didn't like anyone coveting Gu Qinghuan, so he grabbed her calmly and said, "Reporter Xu, nice to meet you!"

Don’t think he didn’t notice that the reporter’s eyes were almost tearing when he looked at Gu Qinghuan.

Xu Li sighed with some regret in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Are you two here to see me today? What's the matter?"

Gu Qinghuan didn't notice the confrontation between the two.

"Reporter Xu, can we find a place to sit down and talk?"

Xu Li looked at his watch and said, "Can you guys wait for me for a moment? I'll go in and give some instructions first. We'll meet in the small park in front in ten minutes."

Of course Gu Qinghuan had no objection.

The two of them walked slowly towards the small park, discussing as they walked how to negotiate with him in order to gain the greatest benefit.

At this time, Xu Jianguo, who was released from the police station, returned home. He felt aggrieved no matter how he thought about it, and he couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Gu Qinghuan's address was quickly found through connections at the Revolutionary Committee.

Xu Jianguo found a few Red Guards he was familiar with and prepared to go to their house to cause trouble.

After their son's arrest, Xu's mother and father were actually scared. They realized that no matter how powerful Xu Jianguo was, he could not cover everything with one hand. They advised him to stop, divorce Zhong Luoning, find another woman to live a good life, and have another boy or girl.

They are old and don't want to bother anymore.

Unfortunately, Xu Jianguo wouldn't listen. All he could think about was how to get revenge.

Gu Qinghuan and Zhong Luoning made him suffer in the police station for two days. He lost all his face and dignity. He must get back at them.

He is no longer the small man who used to be humble in order to climb up the social ladder.

After Fang Zhihai hung up the phone, he thought about it and made another call.

"Chen Jiadong! What's wrong with you? I just received a report that you let a black sheep who was cheating on you go? Do you know what you are doing?"

"Leader! I have no choice. The Revolutionary Committee put pressure on us to protect Xu Jianguo, and we dare not confront them." Chen Jiadong said aggrievedly.

He is really caught in a dilemma.

"What a bullshit Revolutionary Committee! I think they are the ones who are crazy! They do nothing all day long! They are only doing sabotage.

Don't worry about it. I will deal with those bastards in the Revolutionary Committee. Just follow your procedures and sentence them as they should be!

Aren't they the ones who love parades, denunciations, and posting big-character posters? You've also been arranged by that country, bringing a whore home, bringing harm to your wife and children, you bastard, worse than an animal."

Fang Zhihai's words gave Chen Jiadong peace of mind.

"With your words, I feel relieved. I will definitely follow the rules. Don't worry."

Fang Zhihai made another phone call to put pressure on the Revolutionary Committee.

This matter is over.

Gu Qinghuan didn't know that Tang Zhenye had already solved their problem with just one phone call, and was still negotiating with Xu Li in a roundabout way.

Gu Qinghuan wanted to use Xu Li to expose Xu Jianguo's scandal and ruin his reputation.

"Comrade Gu, it's not that I don't want to help. You know, we at People's Daily only report positive news. News about family ethics like this is not suitable for People's Daily. I'm afraid our editor-in-chief won't approve it.

Moreover, this is not just ordinary family ethics news. If things go wrong, it may involve political stance. The Revolutionary Committee may cause trouble for us. "Xu Li was also speaking the truth. He did not dare to take on this hot potato.

"Reporter Xu, this news is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it will be a great help to you.

I have evidence here that Xu Jianguo is having an affair. The facts are clear and cannot be denied.

I have already thought of the title for you: Why does the Revolutionary Committee condone adultery and oppress the people?

What you hear is not as good as what you see. When you have the evidence, you will directly become the messengers of justice. I believe it will greatly help enhance the influence of your People's Daily.

This is a win-win situation for both of us!" Gu Qinghuan spoke eloquently and directly used his ultimate move.

I have to say, this really made Xu Li crazy excited.

He has not worked in the newspaper for nothing all these years. He has a very keen sense of news. The only thing is that his writing skills are a little lacking.

He knew what kind of influence this article would have if it was well written. The newspaper that dared to be the first to take the risk and confront the Revolutionary Committee would be remembered by the people.

Moreover, this was indeed a sure-win situation. When he looked at those photos, he found them disgusting and shocking.

"Comrade Gu, let's put it this way. I am a low-ranking official and cannot make up my mind. I need to go back and discuss it with the editor-in-chief before I get back to you." Although Xu Li was tempted, he did not make any promises.

Gu Qinghuan didn't force him to agree immediately, but put pressure on him invisibly: "No problem, this is what I should do, but I may have to trouble you to decide quickly. My matter is very urgent and there is no time to lose. I have already contacted several other newspapers this afternoon. Whoever is willing to report objectively, you can give this news to them."

The underlying meaning is, I don’t have to have you.

Xu Li suddenly became anxious and took a photo from her.

"Comrade Gu, do you have a phone number? It doesn't matter if you don't have one. Please leave me your address. I'll come to you as soon as I've made a decision. Can you take your time contacting other newspapers? I will do my best to make this happen." The more Xu Li thought about it, the more he felt that this news was worth reporting. He didn't want to let the fat meat slip away.

Gu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the fish took the bait.

"Okay! Then you'd better hurry up and reply to me before 2 pm." Gu Qinghuan left him the address of the small western-style building and left.

Xu Li immediately took the photos to find their editor-in-chief.

Xu Huaian looked at Gu Qinghuan with surprise.

I never knew she was so good at negotiation. With just a few words, Xu Li was led by her. Step by step, the rhythm of their conversation was under Gu Qinghuan's control.

You have to know that Xu Like is also a journalist.

"What? Are you impressed by my handsomeness? It's easy for me. Haha, don't worship me. I'm just a legend." Gu Qinghuan touched his head conceitedly.

Xu Huaian smiled indulgently.

The two's original plan was to find a few more newspapers to test the waters, but because they met Xu Li and People's Daily was the best choice, they decided to put their hopes on it for the time being and did not plan to look for a few more newspapers.

After resolving the issue, the two hurried home.

Zhong Luoning is sick and has three children at home, which always makes people worried.

After Chen Jiadong received the call, he discussed with his subordinates what excuse they should find to recapture Xu Jianguo. It seemed that they were handling the case in an irregular manner if they were to capture him again after releasing him just now.

This hesitation gave Xu Jianguo an opportunity.

He brought five or six Red Guards with him, and under the banner of criticizing the bourgeois reactionary line, he swaggered to Gu Qinghuan's small Western-style building.

These red guards wore green military caps, green military uniforms, armed belts around their waists, and held the Chairman's Quotations in their hands, looking extremely funny.

In recent years, they have wantonly attacked and smashed party and government organs, factories, etc., labeled old revolutionaries, old intellectuals and even leaders as reactionaries, and incited the masses to criticize and denounce them.

People who saw them passing by were scared and hid themselves, but they laughed even more happily, feeling that they were quite majestic.

"Boom!"

The violent collision startled Zhong Luoning inside, like a frightened bird. She was too familiar with this unfriendly collision sound.
