Chapter 711: I can help you get what you want

~7 min read 1,295 words

This person appeared suddenly and was dressed very suspiciously. Hu Yutong subconsciously pulled her father back a step and looked at the other party vigilantly.

"Who are you?"

The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of shrewd and calculating eyes: "Don't be afraid, I'm someone who can help you."

"Help us?" Hu Yutong sized up the other party. From any angle, this person didn't look like a good person, so she said coldly: "We don't need your help with anything."

After saying that, she pulled her father and was about to leave.

Hu Xiang refused to leave, and after hearing the other party's words, he asked curiously: "What can you help us with?"

The man could see that Hu Xiang was easier to handle, so he tempted him: "I know what you want, and I can help you get what you want."

After the fermentation of the event last night, many netizens had already guessed that the two popping up to acknowledge Shen Li was fake, and wanting her money was real.

"Dad, this person is probably a liar. Let's ignore him."

"Yutong, maybe it's an opportunity?" Hu Xiang was full of luck: "We are penniless, what is there to be cheated of?"

The man couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Whether I'm a liar or not, won't we know after we chat?"

"Chat, chat!" Hu Xiang nodded busily: "What do you want to chat about?"

The man looked left and right. This was still under the "Jin Xiao" building, so he looked at the Starbucks not far away: "Shall we change places? I'll treat the two of you to a cup of coffee!"

Hearing that he could drink something hot, Hu Yutong's heart also loosened. Longcheng's winter was really too cold.

As a result, Hu Xiang's eyes rolled, and he said: "I'm not used to that stuff. Treat us to a meal. I heard Longcheng's roast duck is particularly delicious. We haven't eaten it yet."

Hu Yutong looked at her father speechlessly, but didn't expect the man to agree directly: "No problem, let's eat and chat."

Hu Xiang beamed with joy and raised his eyebrows triumphantly at his daughter.

Not to mention anything else, at least they wouldn't lose out on a free meal!

At a well-known roast duck chain restaurant in Longcheng, the lunch business had just started. The three found a seat by the window where they could see the snow scene outside.

"So warm, it's comfortable to stay indoors." Hu Xiang took off his outer coat and unceremoniously took the menu from the waiter.

"This roast duck is two cents each?" Hu Xiang's eyes widened. It was nearly ten times more expensive than the roast duck he bought at the vegetable market in his hometown.

The man took off his coat, hat, and mask, and said enthusiastically: "Brother, don't be polite. Order whatever you want to eat."

Hu Yutong took the opportunity to look at the man. He looked to be about thirty-five years old, thin, and his appearance was sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked, looking like a treacherous person.

His overall appearance didn't give her a good impression.

But the other party's attitude was good. Even though his father kept showing the style of a commoner, he didn't show a trace of disgust or disdain, but instead kept smiling.

"Then I'm really ordering?"

Hu Xiang wasn't polite either. After getting the other party's permission, he ordered seven or eight dishes in one breath, and only stopped after flipping through the menu three times.

After ordering, the man looked at the two and said: "Well, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Hu, and I'm an entertainment reporter for Longcheng's 'Fengyao Media.' This is my business card."

He handed over the business card. Hu Xiang took it, while Hu Yutong took out her phone to search for "Fengyao Media" to see if it was a legitimate company.

Hu Ming, Entertainment Reporter, Fengyao Media Co., Ltd.

"Brother, your surname is also Hu? We are from the same family?" Hu Xiang felt very close when he saw the other party was also surnamed Hu.

"Brother, your surname is also Hu?" Hu Ming also showed a happy expression, stood up, and shook hands with Hu Xiang enthusiastically: "That's really a coincidence. In that case, Shen Li's original surname is also Hu?"

"Yes, her original name was Hu Yujiao." Hu Xiang said smoothly.

Hu Ming nodded, then looked at Hu Yutong, and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder: "Oh, as expected of twins, they really look alike. It's exactly the same."

Hu Yutong didn't answer his words, but asked: "Does your company have a physical address?"

She was still worried.

"Of course. Our company is a legitimate media company with nearly a hundred people."

"Then what do you want from us?" Hu Yutong asked.

Hu Ming looked at her. Even though Hu Yutong appeared very cautious and vigilant, she was only a twenty-year-old girl, and Hu Ming didn't really take her seriously.

"Whatever you want from Shen Li, I can give it to you." Hu Ming hinted.

Although Hu Xiang wasn't smart, he understood: "Really, Brother? You—can you give us money?"

"Of course it's true, but you have to cooperate with me."

"Cooperate, cooperate. As long as we can get money, we can cooperate."

"Dad!" Hu Yutong glared at her father and warned in a low voice: "You don't even know what he wants us to do and you agreed?"

"What does it matter what we do? Isn't it fine as long as we get money?"

Hu Yutong couldn't help but roll her eyes, then looked at Hu Ming and asked: "You tell me first, what do we need to do?"

"Actually, it's very simple. Just chat with me and tell me some things about your family, as well as things about Shen Li." Hu Ming explained seriously: "Don't be nervous. I'm a reporter, I definitely have to grab the current hot topics. Shen Li is now a hot topic in the entertainment industry, and her news will definitely explode in clicks and views. We want this, you don't need to do anything illegal."

Hu Yutong felt a little relieved when she heard this, but still asked uncertainly: "Just this?"

"Hmm, we aren't interested in other things, and neither are netizens."

Hu Xiang on the side nodded like a chicken pecking at rice excitedly: "That's simple. If you want to know anything, just ask. I'll tell you!"

Hu Yutong grabbed the words and asked: "Then how much money can you give us?"

One sentence woke Hu Xiang up. His expression immediately tightened, and he also asked: "Yes, how much money can you give us?"

Hu Ming stretched out one hand, his five fingers wide open: "A base of five dollars. If you cooperate well, I can continue to add more!"

Five dollars!

And can continue to add more?

Just chat casually?

Hu Xiang looked like he had never seen the world, his eyes shining, and he couldn't wait to nod and agree.

But Hu Yutong didn't let her father speak first this time. Her hand under the table pressed hard on her father's leg. She looked at Hu Ming and shook her head: "No, five dollars is too little!"

"Five dollars is still too little?" Hu Ming didn't expect that he still underestimated this little girl, who dared to calmly bargain with him at this time?

Hu Yutong was actually nervous inside, but she pretended to be calm on the surface: "Because you reminded me, there must be many people who want to interview us at this time. First-hand news is the most valuable, and someone will definitely offer a higher price than you!"
