Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 979 The Liu Family's Abilities

Nine o'clock at night, on the streets of Paris.

The driver, in the Audi arranged by the embassy, ​​dared not be distracted in the slightest.

Secretary Wang Wenjie glanced at the rearview mirror every now and then, observing the tired Qi Tongwei in the back seat with concern.

The two of them ran around all day, but with little result.

According to the information they received, several newspapers have finalized the content for tomorrow's editions, which includes news about the mayor of Huaxia City's prostitution scandal.

Perhaps the newspapers are already being mass-produced on printing lines, ready to spread throughout the streets of Paris at daybreak.

The car window, like an exquisite picture frame, slowly unfolds and carries away the Parisian night view.

Qi Tongwei tilted his head slightly, looking out through the half-lowered glass.

The Eiffel Tower in the distance shone with dazzling light, like an elegant queen standing proudly in the night, looking down at him, showing off her power, and mocking his helplessness.

The situation is now out of control, and he is certain that these Western media outlets will not miss this opportunity to make a big deal out of it.

In order to salvage his international image, he may face severe punishment.

Once this punishment is handed down, even if he isn't removed from his position, he will be barred from promotion for at least five years, which is extremely cruel for him.

He didn't want to end up like Director Qi, stuck at the department-level position, struggling desperately.

Since things have come to this, it seems he has no choice but to do something else.

Since these media outlets like to exaggerate and distort the facts, let's fight fire with fire.

Isn't France predominantly Black? Isn't it racist? So he'll make a fuss about that.

Who the hell is clean inside?

Just as I was sketching out the plan in my mind, the phone rang, breaking the silence in the car.

Qi Tongwei took out his personal phone, glanced at the screen, and saw a familiar number, but couldn't quite place it.

Despite some hesitation, he pressed the answer button.

"Mayor Qi, good evening." A gentle and graceful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, it's General Manager Liu." Qi Tongwei slightly raised his eyes and glanced at his watch.

It was 9:15 a.m. in France, which would be 3:00 a.m. in Kyoto.

He couldn't help but wonder why the other person was calling him so late at night.

Since returning from the disaster relief efforts, the Liu family has been sending out various signals of closeness, which has caused Qi Tongwei to feel extremely disgusted.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei avoided dealing with the Liu family whenever possible.

"Mr. Liu, is there something important that you're calling so late?"

Qi Tongwei's tone was full of indifference, as if he were telling the other person, "I'm busy, don't bother me."

"Mayor Qi, I heard that you seem to have encountered some minor troubles recently, so I called specifically to inquire about your situation." Liu Wan's voice remained as gentle as spring.

Qi Tongwei smiled calmly, "Then I really have to thank President Liu for his concern."

It's true what they say: good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.

Unexpectedly, even Mr. Liu, who lives all the way in Hanjiang, knows about this trivial matter.

Qi Tongwei was certain that he had not mentioned Tian Fengyi to He Anxia, ​​so it seemed that the other party had been secretly "watching" him all along.

Liu Wan sensed the hidden meaning in Qi Tongwei's words and quickly explained with a smile, "Mayor Qi, please don't misunderstand, we have absolutely no intention of spying on you."

However, our Liu family has recently been expanding its overseas business and happened to notice this situation, so they reported it to me.

So I came here specifically to greet you and see if there's anything I can do to help.

Qi Tongwei's tone softened slightly, "I see, Mr. Liu, thank you for your kindness, but I think I can handle this myself, so I won't trouble you."

Liu Wan seemed to have anticipated Qi Tongwei's rejection and did not press the matter further.

"Alright, then I won't disturb your rest any longer. If you need any help, just let me know."

Our Liu family has invested a lot of resources in Europe and America over the past two years and has also made a few friends there.

"I don't have any great skills, but I'm capable of suppressing a minor negative news story."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, and suddenly recalled some information about Liu Sheng from the drama.

He recalled a scene from the original play.

The article describes how Liu Sheng used his "ability" to publish an article in the German magazine "Jingjian" (Journal of the World), saying that Sha Ruijin negated 30 years of reform in Handong in just three months.

This caught Sha Ruijin completely off guard.

Thinking about it carefully, the fact that it could make the provincial party secretary of an entire province look so embarrassed shows just how influential it is.

This forced Qi Tongwei to re-evaluate this General Manager Liu.

Qi Tongwei paused for a moment, then cut to the chase without any preamble, "Mr. Liu, tell me your terms."

He urgently needs to solve this problem.

If he had followed his plan, he would have used the sign-in system to create a sensational news story in France that would have shaken the world.

Even if we take the risk, it will take at least one or two days, and with media coverage, it will take at least four days.

In just four days, given the speed at which news spreads, the prostitution incident could easily become common knowledge.

He desperately needs time and someone to slow down the spread of the news.

Liu Wan smiled and said, "Mayor Qi, I have no other conditions."

I helped a friend who was in trouble, and since I happened to be able to help, I did so.

If we have to impose conditions on this, wouldn't that seem too distant?

Qi Tongwei said, "The word 'friend' can sometimes be as light as a feather, and sometimes as heavy as a thousand pounds."

I'm afraid my small frame can't bear such a heavy sentiment.

Mr. Liu, let's keep it business. Tell me your terms. If you can accept them, we can cooperate happily. If not, I won't take advantage of you.

Otherwise, I'd be indebted to you for such a huge favor just because we're called friends, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Liu Wan smiled wryly and said, "Mayor Qi, you are being too serious and too cautious. I really didn't mean anything by it; it was just out of friendship."

Qi Tongwei said, "Mr. Liu, thank you for your kindness, but I still have things to take care of..."

Seeing that Qi Tongwei was about to hang up the phone again, Liu Wan had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, Mayor Qi, then I'll make a small request."

"Please tell me."

Liu Wan said, "I've heard that the food in Paris is excellent. Would you like to have a meal with me at 'Fita'?"

The "Fita" that Liu Wan mentioned is one of the most luxurious restaurants in France, with an average cost of 2,000 euros per person.

Of course, this luxury applies to ordinary people.

Their identities are truly insignificant.

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly: "President Liu, both of our time is precious. There is really no need to waste time on such meaningless formalities."

You should know which is more important, a meal or this matter.

If you insist on doing so, then I will have to politely decline your offer.

"you!"

Qi Tongwei's lack of romantic understanding and cold attitude caused even Liu Wan, who was known for her gentle and charming nature, to break down.

They completely misunderstood her kindness.
