"Ah."
Led by Charles, the group headed straight outside, leaving Li Hua standing there dumbfounded, realizing he was the only one left in the office.
Li Hua quickly followed.
The group of people came out and soon saw a group of people in the lobby. They were staff members from Shanghai TV station.
Having just arrived in the romantic city and then immediately going to the scene to report, coupled with this incident, everyone is in a very bad mood.
However, Shen Yan spotted Xu Yan in the crowd at a glance.
She had a very beautiful oval face, long and neat eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and full lips.
Her thick, jet-black hair was tied high into a neat ponytail, making her look sophisticated and capable.
She wore a light blue outfit with a black leather belt three fingers wide around her waist. The belt was tightly tied around her waist, making her waist look even slimmer and her figure as upright as bamboo.
She paired the outfit with a light blue long skirt and ankle-high suede boots.
Her delicate face was full of fatigue, but her almond-shaped eyes were bright and piercing, especially after seeing Shen Yan appear, they shone with an unprecedented light.
Charles led Shen Yan up to them and said with a smile, "My journalist friends from China, we didn't investigate your identities properly beforehand and accidentally brought you back."
"After our investigation, we found no problems with you. You can go back now."
After Charles finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yan and nodded to him.
Seeing this, Shen Yan responded briefly without saying much, simply gesturing for them to leave: "Alright, everyone, go out first."
Many people at Shanghai TV station know Shen Yan and know that he is a big shot whom even the station director personally greets and sees off.
It's just unexpected that this important figure has such great influence abroad, to the point that even the chief of police of the romantic city takes him so seriously. However, everyone is smart, and no one dared to speak recklessly at this time.
They all went outside.
Xu Yan, on the other hand, sized up Shen Yan, then mustered up her courage and stepped forward. She touched her hair with her hand, smiled slightly, and a dimple appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Mr. Shen, thank you. If it weren't for you, the trouble caused by our bypassing of news reporting would not have been resolved so quickly."
What a bold girl.
She knows who I am, and probably knows some things about me.
They're even contacting me now...
As expected of you, Xu Yan.
Shen Yan was surprised by Xu Yan's boldness, and nodded with a smile, saying, "It's nothing, just a small favor."
"It was such a small favor of yours..."
As Xu Yan spoke, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She frowned slightly, covered her temples with her delicate hands, and swayed back and forth until she finally collapsed directly into Shen Yan's arms.
Seeing the other person fall straight down, Shen Yan instinctively hugged them.
This sudden change almost caused Zhang Long, Zhang Feng, and others to take action.
However, after seeing that Xu Yan had only fainted, he didn't say anything more.
"It's nothing serious, she just fainted."
Shen Yan said.
After confirming that Xu Yan had simply fainted, he (agfb) scooped her up in a princess carry and looked at Charles: "Thank you very much, Chief Sheriff Charles. See you again sometime."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Shen, please."
Charles breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Yan did not make trouble for him, and led the group outside.
Only after Shen Yan and his group had gone far away did Charles turn back to his office, looking at the check for $200 million in his hand, and he smiled smugly.
"The Chinese boss is really generous, giving away 200 million right off the bat. He's more sensible than that embassy boss."
"Wait, where's Li?"
Charles then remembered Li Hua, whom he had completely forgotten. After asking around, he learned that Li Hua had already left.
But he didn't care much. Let him go. He was just a talker who did nothing to benefit him.
.....
"Chairman Shen!"
"Chairman Shen!"
After leaving the police station, Li Hua went straight to Shen Yan. Seeing him about to get into the car, he quickly called out to him.
Seeing him follow, Zhang Long put his hand on his waist, and Zhang Feng looked on warily.
After Shen Yan placed Xu Yan in her seat, he turned to Zhang Long and the others, signaling them to calm down, and greeted them with a smile, "Hello."
Li Hua ran up, slightly out of breath, and after a while greeted him, "Chairman Shen, thank you for your help this time. On behalf of the embassy, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
"It's alright. We're all Chinese, so it's normal to help each other when we're abroad. After all, compared to me, there are many things at the embassy that can't be resolved in the same way we do here."
Shen Yan and Li Hua shook hands.
Hearing this, Li Hua smiled awkwardly. In fact, not only him, but every staff member of the embassy knew that in order for the embassy's work to proceed smoothly...
Money is really important.
But they represent the country; they can't possibly give money to Charles, can they?
Therefore, we can only use legitimate means and follow proper procedures to discuss this with others.
While this method is feasible, it would require an extremely long period of time, making the work difficult to carry out.
"Thank you for your understanding, Chairman Shen."
Li Hua said with a smile, then asked his question: "Chairman Shen, I came to see you mainly because there is something I am very curious about."
"Go ahead," Shen Yan said.
Seeing this, Li Hua didn't hide anything and said, "Generally speaking, it's very difficult to release journalists who are caught without a press license. Even Charles would have a hard time making the decision on his own."
"What method did you use?"
"Haha."
Shen Yan chuckled and pointed to himself: "Didn't they tell you over there that I'm a boss, a businessman, but also a shareholder of the BBC?"
"Is it difficult to get someone hired as a non-permanent member of the BBC?"
After saying that, Shen Yan got into the car, leaving Li Hua standing there in a daze.
No.
This world has gone mad in ways I never knew existed.
Can we Chinese also get BBC shares?
Is this...reasonable?
211 Confession Agreement, Xu Yan's Honesty
Li Hua was only awakened by the ringing of the phone after watching Shen Yan's car drive away.
He looked down and saw it was his boss.
He immediately picked up his phone and answered: "Boss."
A solemn voice came from the other end of the phone: "Li Hua, how's your communication with Charles going?"
"Reporting to the leader, here's what happened."
Li Hua walked to the side and quietly reported what had just happened into his phone.
"..."
After hearing Li Hua's story, Luo Qingshan paused for a while, then sighed helplessly: "You little rascal, you really dare to say anything."
"Leader? What does that mean?"
"return."
Luo Qingshan's words were brief, leaving Li Hua completely bewildered.
But he believed that his leader's words were sacred decrees, so he dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately replied, "Yes, leader, I'll be right back."
After hanging up the phone, Li Hua got into the embassy's car and went back.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Luo Qingshan standing with his hands behind his back at the entrance of the embassy, looking utterly dejected.
"Luo Si".
"Young man, what have I done to deserve making you wait outside for me to come back?"
When Li Hua saw Luo Qingshan, he went up to him without hesitation and greeted him.
"You brat."
Luo Qingshan looked at him, gritting his teeth. If he hadn't paid attention to his image, he would have wanted to beat Li Hua now.
Noticing Luo Qingshan's expression, Li Hua immediately sensed something was wrong: "Director Luo, the way you're looking at me... it's giving me the creeps."
"I really thank you for speaking up about anything."
"Come on, come in with me."
"Ah, oh."
Li Hua sensed that things were not simple, so he did not resist and obediently followed behind Luo Qingshan.
As soon as the two entered the conference room, they saw a person sitting on the screen in the center of the room.
This person...
Li Hua is very familiar with him!
He had never met her in person, only seen her on television!
"Seventh...Seventh Elder."
Li Hua was startled, immediately greeted them, and stood there awkwardly.
"Hehe, Xiao Li, I know you. You're young and promising. You've been working at the embassy in the romantic city for so many years. You've worked hard."
