I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3906: Chapter 3894: I Dare You to Make a Move!

It took less than half an hour by car to reach Fuyang Building.

After waiting at the entrance for a while, Mo Hongshan’s car came into view.

"We chatted a few days ago, you mentioned becoming a journalist. How’s that going?"

"It’s going quite well." Lin Yi laughed heartily, "I’ve gotten familiar with the leadership, my work is quite free, I’m just in it for fun really."

"You should make some time to come interview us, consider it a bit of publicity for us."

"Let’s leave the defense district out of it. Quite a few of your people know me, one wrong word and I won’t be able to stay at the TV station."

"No need to go to the defense district, there’s nothing worth interviewing there." Mo Hongshan said, "Last month, a batch of new equipment arrived for the special forces, the leaders there want to showcase the training results, so they contacted the military newspaper for an interview. But Mr. Yang said these matters shouldn’t be kept hidden, the public should also be informed. I immediately thought of you."

"I have no problem at all, just mention it to our director, he’d love to go over there for an interview with you."

"That’s settled then, I’ll go back and discuss with the leaders there. You wait for my notification about the specific time, and you needn’t worry, no one there knows you."

"Sounds safe."

"Let’s go, have a look inside." They both walked into Fuyang Building. Despite it being meal time, there weren’t many dining there, it seemed rather empty.

Clearly, the taste here probably isn’t great, and the decor is a bit outdated, nothing fancy about it.

Inviting someone here for a meal shows no sincerity.

But from Wu Qiang’s perspective, inviting an unknown journalist here, the gesture is probably sufficient.

The two went up to the third floor, room 308. Lin Yi pushed the door open and saw Wu Qiang and two others, and sat at one side of the table, where they had ordered more than a dozen dishes, a feast of fish and meat.

"We’ve been expecting you, I ordered some dishes. See if there’s anything you like, feel free to order more."

"These are fine, let’s not be too polite. Let’s get to business."

"Good, good, please sit." After everyone was seated, Wu Qiang turned to Mo Hongshan. "Mr. Lin Yi, who might this be?"

"He’s a friend of mine, hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so I brought him along."

"No problem at all, we’re all friends here. Joining a meal makes it more lively."

"That’s exactly what I thought." Lin Yi chuckled, "Let’s speak openly if there’s a matter at hand. No need to beat around the bush, otherwise, for no reason at all, you wouldn’t invite me for a meal."

Seeing Lin Yi’s attitude, Wu Qiang decided not to stick to politeness.

"It’s about the investigation, we went back and held several meetings, and we’ve reached a conclusion. We’ll handle the sewage issue promptly, so we hope the follow-up programs won’t be aired."

Wu Qiang finished speaking, then pulled a pouch from under the table.

Inside were two bundles of money totaling a hundred thousand.

"Mr. Lin Yi, this is just a token of our sincerity. We hope you’ll persuade Director Feng on our behalf. If this works out, we’ll have a greater reward later, far beyond this amount. The sum will surely please you."

Lin Yi remained unmoved as he looked at the money on the table.

"That won’t do, I’m just a little journalist, how could I possibly persuade our director? You’ve got the wrong person."

"Mr. Lin Yi, don’t be too modest. I’m aware of your situation."

Wu Qiang laughed lightly, "You led this episode, although you’ve just recently joined, you have significant influence in the production team. I think you can persuade Director Feng."

"Please don’t say that. In the workplace, the biggest taboo is overestimating oneself. I know my own capabilities, so you’ve mistaken with approaching me." Lin Yi said:

"Furthermore, there’s no point in contacting any of my colleagues, no one will help you with this. Just give up on that idea."

"I know you’re young, have ideals, and ambition, but we’re all adults, why insist on staying clear of money?"

"You’re not wrong, but we are journalists, this profession has a unique essence; it’s about speaking for the public. Hence, I can’t accept the money."

Wu Qiang’s expression changed slightly, "But I’ve already stated, we will handle this matter properly, why pursue it relentlessly?"

"It’s not relentless pursuit, it’s knowing the law and breaking it." Lin Yi slowly said:

"It’s clear you have the means to manage the sewage, but refuse to spend the money. The impact you’ve caused is already severely negative, so I’ll simply say sorry, and I have no faith in your words."

Wu Qiang’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning quite rude.

"Mr. Lin Yi, you’re the one overseeing this matter, aren’t you?"

"You could say that."

"Can I interpret it as if it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t be this much trouble?"

"That wouldn’t be accurate; people frequently report you. Sooner or later someone would expose you."

"So we have no ground for negotiation then."

"Indeed, I already told you over the phone, but you insisted on inviting me for dinner, so I had to be polite and reciprocate."

"Ha..." Wu Qiang sneered softly:

"Since you refuse the toast in favor of punishment, don’t blame us."

"What do you mean by that."

"At this point, there’s no need to conceal it. Today you’ll agree whether or not you wanted to. Otherwise, you can’t leave this room."

"Are you planning to get physical?"

"I had no intention to. But if you refuse to cooperate, you can’t blame me." Wu Qiang lit a cigarette, "I know you’re skillful in combat, so I called more people, to keep you entertained thoroughly."

Wu Qiang picked up his phone, it was unclear whom he dialed.

"Bring everyone upstairs."

Lin Yi and Mo Hongshan stayed calm, sitting still in their chairs.

A few minutes later, the room door swung open, and over twenty people entered from outside, surrounding the two.

"You’re supposedly a good fighter, I brought extra people to keep you occupied, let’s see how long you last."

"See how this spoils the mood, I’ve lost the appetite for dinner."

Wu Qiang shrugged, "I didn’t forbid you from eating, you chose not to eat. But I can still give you an opportunity, agree to my terms, and you can enjoy the meal as you wish. You can even take the money, and I’ll arrange for you to have fun elsewhere later. You think that sounds good?"

Lin Yi chuckled, "I don’t think it sounds very good."

"You really don’t know how to appreciate kindness, then I can’t be courteous anymore. Get on with it."

The two people next to Wu Qiang stood up, stretching their wrists as they approached Lin Yi.

Mo Hongshan reached into his pocket, took out his weapon, and slapped it on the table.

"Let’s see who dares to make a move!"
