The other party sheepishly wiped their hands and said,
“Sorry, I’m the boss. You might find that a bit surprising, right?”
Xu Fei was more than just surprised; his jaw nearly hit the floor.
Later, Xu Fei learned about the situation in detail: Morning Daily’s recent business revenue had been poor.
With no other choice, the boss had to set up a stall to sell pancakes in his spare time to make some money, barely keeping things afloat.
At this moment, Xu Fei immediately said to him,
“Perfect timing, then. I’m here to solve your urgent problem. I want to do a big deal with you!”
Hearing this, the boss didn’t dare delay and quickly invited Xu Fei upstairs to his office.
Xu Fei then told him he wanted the newspaper to rush-print 10,000 copies, with the front-page headline being Hualing’s bankruptcy.
However, these were not to be distributed in the capital but sent to surrounding areas, with only 100 copies left in the capital.
“What? Hualing bankrupt? No way, mate, Hualing is currently the hottest female star in China. Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?”
No matter what the boss said, Xu Fei insisted without changing a word. Soon after, the boss received a text message.
“Ding! Your company account has received a transfer of one million yuan!”
Seeing this, the boss immediately shut up, stopped asking questions, and nodded eagerly, saying,
“Don’t worry, boss. I guarantee we’ll not only finish printing by tonight but also ensure they get distributed!”
This was exactly the result Xu Fei wanted, so he left satisfied and went back to find Lin Qingxue and Hualing.
When Xu Fei returned, he noticed Hualing’s expression wasn’t great, so he instinctively asked,
“What’s wrong? Did that guy Hao just call?”
Xu Fei had been gone for about two hours. Hualing lowered her head and quietly confirmed.
“Hao did call just now, and what he said was pretty harsh, which is why Hualing looks so upset…”
Xu Fei could easily imagine Hao’s sleazy tone. He reached out and patted Hualing’s shoulder.
“It’s alright. I’ve sorted everything out. Did he tell you to go meet him?”
“Yeah, he said to be there in about an hour. His attitude was really aggressive, and his words… they were harsh.”
Seeing Hualing’s aggrieved expression, Xu Fei smiled.
“Got it. The initiative is in our hands now, and he’s the one who should be worried. Why should we be so obedient? It’s time to visit Xiaohang in the hospital!”
Xu Fei said this deliberately to make Hao wait and to buy the newspaper some time.
Hualing and the others were now centred around Xu Fei, so they naturally agreed.
Then, Xu Fei drove Hualing to the hospital to visit Xiaohang.
“Sister Hua, I… I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault, I…”
As soon as Xiaohang saw Sister Hua, he became very emotional, his face full of guilt as he looked at her.
“It’s okay, focus on recovering. The issue will be resolved soon. Don’t feel so guilty; it was just an accident.”
Sister Hua began to comfort Xiaohang. At that moment, back at Zhenghao Tower, Hao was already losing patience.
“Damn it, didn’t I tell them to come in an hour? Why hasn’t anyone shown up yet?”
“Call them again and give them a final ultimatum!”
