Chapter Seven, Intentionally or Unintentionally (Part One)
Yao Yu could have gotten off the car with Qian Chen, but she glanced at Xu Yi Zhong, thinking to herself that he must have something to say: "I am going home, sorry to trouble you, Mr. Xu."
That would be even better. Alright, we have understood quite a bit. I apologize for the trouble, Mr. Xu, for having to make a trip. We shall take our leave now. " Qian Chen stood up
Director Wang immediately arranged for the hot spring resort to host the interview. He assured over the phone with great confidence that this hot spring had been verified by experts from the National and Provincial Geological Bureaus, and that there were certification reports and the like.
Yao Yu noticed that he was silent, so she began to speak incessantly like a flowing river. She talked about how many suitors Du Lei had due to her excellent grades, and how she had taste and knew how to dress. Before long, the car arrived downstairs. Yao Yu got out of the car with a smile and said to the tight-lipped Xu Yizhong: "I have sold you so much information about Du Lei, how are you going to thank me?" She waved her hand at Xu Yizhong and continued to speak to herself, "No need to thank me, just don't trouble me too much! By the way, don't complain about the noise; someone once said that one woman is equivalent to five hundred ducks, and it's normal for five hundred ducks to be noisy!"
Yao Yu pouted and said: "It's just using your identity to swagger in front of that kid. If I really have to write something, it will certainly be based on facts. If it is indeed a radon hot spring, it would not just be treated as an advertisement; at the very least, it would serve as a consumer guide."
Xiao Yu, do not go too far in your play, be careful that Jia Lin might put pressure on your company and get your boss to fire you
The next day was indeed a new day, and for Yao Yu, it was a day filled with good news
"Yes, yes, yes, I forgot. There is a place in Ganli Wuhua, and this is a new discovery of ours!" Manager Zhang quickly corrected himself
Xu Yizhong let out a cold laugh: "Aren't you afraid of provoking me and losing your job?"
Yao Yu was taken aback for a moment, tugging at her lips without responding. Qian Chen cautiously glanced at her and said, "Xiao Yu, Tong Sicheng should be back in the country by now, right?"
Originally, the two would return empty-handed. Tao Qianchen disliked making a trip for nothing, thinking it would be just right to complete a series of reports on the hot springs in City A, similar to a consumer guide, thus fulfilling the work assignment. Next, he inquired with Manager Zhang about some details regarding consumption at the resort.
Tao Qianchen and Yao Yu got into the car sent by Jialin Group and went to the Hot Spring Villa again. Tao Qianchen knew that it was impossible for Xu Yizhong to accompany them for such an interview. However, this interview was also to vent Yao Yu's frustrations. After carefully reviewing various documents, he pretended to take pictures of the water outlet with a camera, listening to the staff at the villa introduce the entire water flow operation system. Yao Yu, being an outsider to news interviews, perked up her ears, trying to find any loopholes.

Mr. Xu is very familiar with the business, and there is nothing more. We just want to create a citywide hot spring consumption guide
Xu Yizhong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He noticed that the relationship between Yao Yu and Du Lei was not good, and he also realized that Yao Yu was unhappy about what he had said to her that day, harboring thoughts of revenge. What was he even quarreling with her about? Xu Yizhong tightly closed his mouth, regretting having rushed from the company to the villa, ready to confront her. In the end, he discovered that his opponent was not even a match for him.
Qian Chen shot her a glance and said, "You, everything you do is like a game. Where do you find so much leisure to play around?"
Yao Yu bit her lip in silence. The sorrow in her heart seemed to be on the verge of erupting uncontrollably. A pot of magma was churning within her, searching for an outlet, scorching her throat and leaving her parched.
"You journalists have worked hard. The resort has just opened, and we still need your strong support!" Xu Yizhong said calmly, with a charming smile, his eyes directed at Yao Yu. Today, she wore those jeans with countless rips at the knees, casual and carefree. Aside from the puffy dress she wore at the cocktail party, every time he saw Yao Yu, she was dressed in this type of attire. Xu Yizhong believed that a person's clothing reflects their character, and Yao Yu gave him the impression of being unrefined. "When did Miss Yao start working as a reporter for News Online?"
Yao Yu shook her head and turned her face away: "Don't mention him! It's over, and that's that."
When he walked into the elegant room of the villa, Tao Qianchen had just finished asking a question and was having a complimentary lunch with Yao Yu. Yao Yu, skeptical, had nothing to write down. After looking at the villa's facilities, he had just asked Manager Zhang, "How much does this table of dishes cost?"
Manager Zhang hurriedly invited them to dinner, as he had already communicated with the group over the phone. The higher-ups instructed that during this period, all visiting journalists must be well entertained.
Oh, I am familiar with Editor Liu from your website. I will discuss with him later about how to promote it. Xu Yizhong knew that such coverage could not be free; spending some money to promote it in a positive direction was not a big deal. However, this money was spent because the two of them came to create trouble, which made him very uncomfortable
"Xiao Yu, you can't even bring it up; you clearly can't forget him!" Qian Chen said somewhat unhappily. She had told Yao Yu everything, but since Yao Yu broke up with Tong Si, she had not mentioned it at all.
Xu Yi felt a sense of blockage in his heart, as if he were facing a villain come to extort him: "This is the highest consumption at the resort, aimed at high-spending individuals. The hot spring costs only 120 yuan, and children are half price. The most expensive villa accommodation is just over 3,000 yuan, and there are discounts during the off-season and non-holidays. The price of a standard room is comparable to that of a three-star hotel in the city, and of course, we have four-star decor. Miss Tao, do you see any other issues?"

Section Chief Wang reported to Xu Yizhong about Tao Qianchen and Yao Yu going to the hot spring resort for an interview. Upon hearing this, Xu Yizhong immediately thought that the girl was clearly looking for trouble; how could Yao Yu, being from the Tang Dynasty, possibly act as a reporter? With no work on his hands, he drove straight to the hot spring mountain and the library resort. He was not worried about the radon hot springs; rather, he was concerned that the resort's reception expenses would lead that female reporter from the news online site to write something unfavorable, which would affect business. If this was not stopped in time, the media would be interconnected, and if reporters came over every few days, it would be a serious issue.

As soon as the words were spoken, Yao Yu and Qian Chen, who had done their homework in advance, exchanged glances. Qian Chen said lightly, "Is that so? Manager Zhang! There is still a location in Gansu in the West. Your advertising like this could mislead consumers."
Qian Chen turned back to look at Yao Yu, smiling as she shook her head. Xiao Yu was indeed stubborn; if she got angry and didn't take revenge, she wouldn't feel at ease. She waved her hand to the two and turned to enter the workplace
"How could this happen?" Xu Yizhong walked over and sat down, enthusiastically introducing, "We mainly cater to ordinary citizens"
He shook his head with a smile while driving, feeling a sudden sense of relief in his heart
I see, I am just curious and want to have some fun, this time I would like to indulge in the experience of an interview with you! Yao Yu chuckled.
Tao Qianchen thought for a moment and smiled, saying: "We have almost finished filming. I will go back and interview the experts from the Provincial Geological Bureau to hear their opinions. Since our city has such a rare radon hot spring, it deserves to be well promoted"
"How could that be? We are best friends!" Yao Yu said with a mischievous smile to Qian Chen, "Let's go, today happens to be a day off, let's head to the Jialin Group!"
Tao Qianchen really helped Yao Yu obtain her work permit. She cautioned, "This is not a press card; you can only follow me as my intern"
Xu Yi felt a surge of anger; he was barely over thirty, yet Yao Yu had the audacity to call him an uncle. He pondered that his temper had been too fiery lately, wondering how he had allowed a young girl to provoke him to her level. After reflecting and apologizing several times, he questioned if he was truly that easy to provoke. Xu Yi snorted coldly and fell silent.
"How do you know that we are settling personal scores rather than there being an issue with your villa?" Yao Yu stood his ground firmly
1,880 yuan! Ordinary citizens? Is Mr. Xu joking? Yao Yu smiled slyly
"How could this happen? Mr. Xu didn't even have time to eat dinner, I truly feel sorry. Mr. Xu is a filial son, which is rare in this day and age." Just as Qian Chen understood, provoking Yao Yu, she is indeed the typical example of how difficult it is to raise a petty person and a woman.
Manager Zhang smiled and said, "How could it be insufficient? There is another outlet hidden in the largest pool above, and the hot spring flows down along the trapezoidal water pool."
Qianchen inquired astutely, "I see that your outlet is quite small; with so many pools, is there enough spring water?"
City A has half of its land in mountainous areas, where several places have excavated hot springs, though their quality varies. Ever since the news reported that the resort on the northern mountain was faking the hot spring water volume by adding heated water, there has been a prolonged period during which resorts and hotels specializing in hot springs have experienced a downturn in business
Is the villa primarily aimed at high-spending clientele
Yao Yu and Qian Chen raised their heads. Qian Chen smiled and said, "How could we dare to receive such an honor with President Xu personally coming here?"
Yao Yu knew that keeping this from Qian Chen would create a sense of distrust in their friendship. However, she looked at Qian Chen and slowly said, "Qian Chen, do you know how envious I am of you and Xiao Yang? You started dating before he and I did, yet you have remained steadfast. As for Tong Sicheng and me, we broke up; he is going abroad to study, and it is as simple as that. Please, no more questions? It is all in the past."
Qianchen quietly apologized: "Xiaoyu, it is my fault, please do not be angry!"
Tao Qianchen chuckled as he called Section Chief Wang, who was in charge of publicity at Jialin Company, to explain the intention of the interview. Upon hearing that there were public doubts about the authenticity of the newly opened hot spring, Section Chief Wang became somewhat anxious. The hot spring resort had just opened, and it was precisely the time when strong promotion was needed. If public opinion continued to speculate that it was fake, then the reality would indeed become false.
Eighteen hundred and eighty yuan
Xu Yizhong started the vehicle and drove towards Yao Yu's home: "I was overly harsh in my words yesterday, Miss Yao, please do not take it to heart"
Manager Zhang of the villa proudly stated: "Our radon hot spring is found in only two places in the West, one is at Mount Emei in Sichuan, and the other is right here!"
Xu Yizhong drove straight to Tao Qianchen's workplace and said: "Journalist Tao, I trouble you this time, please make sure to promote our resort well. I will take Miss Yao with me. Are we heading back to Datang or going home?"
Yao Yu is afraid of many things, including mice, cockroaches, and caterpillars, yet she is not afraid of being threatened. Her tone has become assertive: "I say, Mr. Xu, how old are you? You are already an old man, yet you still nitpick and even threaten a young girl? Mind your manners!"
On the way down the mountain, Xu Yizhong drove extremely fast, hardly slowing down when encountering bends in the mountain road, leaving Yao Yu feeling dizzy and breathless. She felt a sense of frustration; she couldn't write the report carelessly, and inadvertently promoted the hot spring resort. Although Xu Yizhong had paid for it, she still felt that her trip today had been in vain
"Just in time, I am returning to the city, I will give you a ride!" Xu Yizhong maintained his smile, thinking that to find the shortcomings of the Hot Spring Villa, you two are still a bit inexperienced. He was contemplating how to warn Yao Yu, to extinguish her desire for revenge.
The same sentence can convey vastly different meanings when expressed in different tones. Xu Yizhong is certainly able to detect Yao Yu's sarcasm. He prefers to approach matters with courtesy before resorting to force. After sincerely apologizing, when Yao Yu remains ungrateful, he speaks more bluntly: "It is common for women to be petty, but it seems a bit excessive for Miss Yao to seek personal revenge in this manner."
I am an intern reporter at the News Online Network! There is no other way; I have to take on extra work to earn money, otherwise, I cannot afford to live in such a good place! Yao Yu spoke with a hint of meaning
