Chapter 54: Judging a Gentleman by One's Own Mind
In the morning, Xu Jie got out of the car and stood outside the TV station gate, waving goodbye to Su Yun.
Initially, he was not very accepting of this way of publicly displaying affection, but as it happened more and more times, he gradually got used to it.
"Reporter Xu!"
When Xu Jie heard the voice, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled, turned around and looked at the person who came and said, "Mr. Wu, it's so early. Are you here to discuss business?"
"No, I'm here to see you, reporter Xu." Wu Hao stopped in front of Xu Jie and said embarrassedly, "It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but I want to trouble reporter Xu for help with something else."
"Mr. Wu, you are always so polite. What's the matter?" Xu Jie asked with a smile.
"It's like this. Didn't you post a Weibo about dumplings yesterday at noon? Actually, that dumpling restaurant is owned by a friend of mine. He was worried that the Weibo post would bring negative impact to the dumpling restaurant, so he came to me for help. Do you think you can delete that Weibo post?" Wu Hao asked.
In fact, he didn't have any friends in that dumpling restaurant. He said this just to verify some of his ideas.
He stayed at the dumpling restaurant until very late yesterday. He not only saw many netizens, but also reporter Xu's colleagues. This made him seriously suspect that reporter Xu was deliberately taking advantage of the rebellious psychology of black fans to help his colleagues promote the dumpling restaurant. That's why he came to the TV station early and made up a reason to ask the other party to delete the Weibo post to see whether the other party was speaking from inspiration or deliberately.
Once this matter is confirmed, the previous bar promotion will be in big trouble.
Xu Jie narrowed his eyes slightly. The dumpling restaurant is opened by your friend? Then what about Brother Liang’s girlfriend?
Wanna play tricks on me?
Okay, then I'll play with you!
"Isn't it just deleting a Weibo post? No problem." Xu Jie immediately took out his mobile phone and deleted the Weibo post he posted yesterday.
When Wu Hao saw this, he was stunned.
It was deleted now?
Are you giving me face like this?
He was a little confused. Although it was his request, such a result was really unexpected for him.
Xu Jie smiled inwardly when he saw Wu Hao's dazed expression and said, "Boss Wu, what a coincidence! One of my colleagues also knows someone from the Dumpling Restaurant. After seeing my Weibo post, he also wanted me to delete it. I was just about to delete it in front of him today, but I didn't expect you to get here first."
The corners of Wu Hao's mouth twitched, and he felt like he was punching cotton.
The other party admitted that the dumpling restaurant had a relationship with his colleague?
Is it really just a misunderstanding?
wrong!
It’s just deleting the Weibo post, and it won’t have any impact on the dumpling restaurant. If you really want to know whether the other party used black fans to help colleagues, the best way is to recreate what happened in the past.
"Reporter Xu, there is actually one more thing. My friend knows that you are a food host and wants you to help promote the dumpling restaurant on Weibo. Do you think it's okay?" Wu Hao asked again.
A few days ago I asked you to promote a bar, and today I ask you to promote a dumpling shop. Let’s see what choice you will make and whether you dare to post on Weibo again.
Xu Jie was slightly startled when he heard the request, then smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Wu, you just asked me to delete my Weibo, and now you're asking me to help promote it. Does your friend have a grudge against me? Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
It's you who are in trouble!
Wu Hao thought.
But he didn't show any such thoughts on the surface. Instead, he sighed and said sympathetically, "Yes, I thought so at the time, but he is a very good friend of mine. I really don't know how to refuse. Reporter Xu, can you give me some face? Besides, doesn't your colleague know someone from the dumpling restaurant? It can make up for it."
Xu Jie looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, for Mr. Wu's sake, I'll help you. But let's make it clear, just this once, you can't let me delete it after I send it out."
Wu Hao's eyes widened.
Oh shit!
Agreed again?
Delete the bad words about the dumpling restaurant and promote the dumpling restaurant. Even he himself felt that this request was excessive, but the other party actually agreed. What was this guy thinking?
But although he was surprised, he didn't say anything.
"Reporter Xu, don't worry. Even if he kneels on the ground and begs me, I will not come to you to delete your Weibo." Wu Hao said, patting his chest.
"Okay, let me go to the cafeteria to eat first. I'll think of the words while eating, and I will definitely post it on Weibo before noon." Xu Jie said and was about to leave.
"Don't worry, Reporter Xu. My friend is still waiting for my letter at home. You just use your brain cells to think about it. How about this, I'll give you my breakfast." After saying this, Wu Hao walked to the Mercedes-Benz car on the side of the road and took out a plastic bag from the passenger seat. There was milk, hamburgers, and fried chicken nuggets in it.
"How can this be so embarrassing? Mr. Wu, you haven't eaten yet." Xu Jie quickly pushed him away with his hand.
"Reporter Xu, you are doing me a favor. This is what I should do." Wu Hao put the pocket hard on Xu Jie's wrist.
"Since I have accepted Mr. Wu's breakfast, I should promote it as soon as possible."
After Xu Jie finished speaking, he wrote on Weibo:
I reflected on this for a whole night. As a media person, I really shouldn't have said such things. In fact, the dumplings in this dumpling restaurant are really delicious, and the side dishes and stir-fried dishes are also very good. I highly recommend the fried meatballs. By the way, the name of the restaurant is: Jiade Dumpling Restaurant, and a location map is attached.
After writing this paragraph, Xu Jie tilted his phone screen to the side and asked, "Is it ok, Mr. Wu?"
Wu Hao read it twice and found that it was indeed praising the dumpling restaurant, so he nodded and said, "Okay, post it."
Xu Jie immediately clicked to publish and pinned it to the top of the post. He then put his phone in his pocket and said aggrievedly, "Boss Wu, for you, I have become a bad guy and a villain."
"I understand." Wu Hao felt bad, thinking that he had been judging others by his own standards. "Reporter Xu, I owe you a favor this time. If you need any help in the future, such as competition or promotion, I promise to let my dad speak for you."
"I don't dare to trouble Mr. Wu. If there is nothing else, I will go to work." Xu Jie pointed to the TV station.
"Okay, goodbye!" Wu Hao did not stop him this time.
Xu Jie returned to the program team and heard Shi Fei's loud voice as soon as he entered the door.
"Xu Jie, why did you admit your mistake on Weibo again? Wasn't your attitude very firm yesterday?" Shi Fei said sarcastically.
Others also looked at Xu Jie, feeling that he had been acting strangely over the past two days.
"Brother Fei, why are you paying so much attention to me?" Xu Jie put his breakfast on the table and asked while eating, "Are you secretly in love with me? Let me make it clear in advance, I'm not interested in men."
"Who, who has a crush on you? I just found out from what others told me." Shi Fei explained haltingly, his proud arrogance instantly extinguished.
Zhang Mingliang slid over to Xu Jie in a chair and asked quietly, "What's going on? Why did you delete yesterday's Weibo post and then post this apology Weibo?"
"Who apologized?" Xu Jie took a bite of the hamburger. Food bought by others tasted delicious.
"You have reflected on it, so why don't you apologize?" Zhang Mingliang pointed at the content on Weibo with his mobile phone.
Xu Jie swallowed the food in his mouth and said righteously: "I am reflecting on it. As a media person, I shouldn't say things that cause misunderstandings. It's because I'm not rigorous, so I'm coming clean today and telling the truth. The dumplings are delicious, so what's wrong with that?"
Zhang Mingliang looked at Xu Jie in a daze. You already realize that you shouldn’t say things that may cause misunderstandings, so why are you still posting things that may cause misunderstandings?
"Don't be frank. If you say the dumplings are delicious, then the fans must be..." Zhang Mingliang thought of Xu Jie's two million black fans and began to worry about the dumpling restaurant's business.
"Brother Liang, didn't I tell you that you have to have confidence in my fans?" Xu Jie said with a smile.
Zhang Mingliang was shocked and thought: I am so worried because I am too confident in your fans' ability to discredit you.
Xu Jie, ah Xu Jie, what are you trying to do?
