Special Expert of Beauty CEO

The two journalists involved from the Beijing Daily couldn't withstand the pressure more than those from the Kyoto News.

Zhang Runhao's two subordinates hadn't even used any strong means yet, and those two journalists had already confessed everything out of fear.

However, these two journalists probably had a bit of wishful thinking, believing that since their article had already been seen and approved by their superiors, it might be too late to make changes even if they confessed now.

But when Zhang Runhao brought them in front of Sun Yuncai, those two journalists were instantly dumbfounded.

Zhang Runhao had his subordinates record a video of the journalists' confession, so even if they wanted to deny it now, it would be futile. Besides, these journalists didn't seem inclined to deny it.

When Sun Yuncai saw the video of the journalists' confession, he immediately began interrogating them.

Earlier, Zhang Runhao's subordinates had already intimidated them, so this time the journalists not only confessed to everything obediently, they even fell to their knees to beg for mercy.

"You two are disgraceful! You've brought shame to the Beijing Daily, and you still have the nerve to beg for forgiveness? Tomorrow, don't bother coming to work; I'll have you both fired!"

Sun Yuncai stomped his foot in anger, then pointed to the door and shouted, "Get out! Get out right now!"

The two journalists, trembling in fear, seeing that their tears and pleas were ineffective, left dejectedly.

Once they had left, Sun Yuncai seemed to still be simmering in his anger, unable to calm down for a long while.

Zhang Runhao said, "Uncle Sun, now that your two journalists have admitted in front of you that their article was bought, shouldn't you retract it? As media, you can't just unjustly accuse people for no reason, right?"

Hearing this, Sun Yuncai furrowed his brows, rubbed his chin, and said, "It's already past seven in the evening, and the finalized article is scheduled for printing at the press. Even if I want to retract it now, it's too late. Runhao, I'm sorry, but there's really nothing I can do."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Runhao was dumbfounded. Too late?

However, Qin Tian on the side remained unflustered. He noticed the odd gleam in Sun Yuncai's eyes and knew there was room for maneuvering in this situation!

With a slight smile, Qin Tian approached Sun Yuncai and said, "President Sun, I think that we were just casually playing cards this afternoon, and there was absolutely no gambling involved. Betting an extra million is completely baseless, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuncai's eyes lit up and his expression froze, having a sense of Qin Tian's true intentions behind his statement.

Qin Tian continued, "I believe the decision now lies in your hands, President Sun. If you say this matter exists, then it does. If you don't, then I believe it truly doesn't."

"A mere gesture of convenience, a decision in a fleeting moment, depending entirely on your choice, President Sun. What do you think?"

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Zhang Runhao quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, I also didn't know about the card playing in the afternoon. However, regarding the No. 1 Club, Uncle Sun, we really need your help to clear things up! That No. 1 Club is owned by a friend of mine."

Hearing this, Sun Yuncai's expression noticeably relaxed.

In fact, he just needed a way out of the situation, and now with both Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao speaking sincerely, all his concerns about embarrassment vanished.

So, after a feigned moment of contemplation, Sun Yuncai straightened up and nodded at Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao.

"Alright, I think you're right. Since your No. 1 Club has been wrongly accused, it's indeed inappropriate for us at the Beijing Daily to publish this. Let me make a call and see if there's still a way to fix it."

Continuing his pretense, Sun Yuncai took out his phone and went outside to make a call.

After Sun Yuncai left, Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao exchanged a knowing smile, confident that the issue had been resolved.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, Sun Yuncai returned with a cheerful face and said to Qin Tian, "Luckily! I called just in time. Had I called two minutes later, the press would've already started the printing process. Haha, you two are really lucky!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao were left speechless.

Dude, if you were going to embellish, couldn't you have said an hour or half an hour? Two minutes? You really know how to stretch the truth!

"Thank you! Thank you, President Sun!"

Despite knowing how insincere Sun Yuncai's words were, Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao still expressed their gratitude earnestly.

Looking at his watch with a smile, Sun Yuncai said, "Oh, it's already eight o'clock, and we haven't had dinner yet. Haha, Runhao, Xiao Qin, let's go, my treat tonight, let's have a meal together!"

Sun Yuncai seemed genuinely happy; after all, the million-dollar debt that was about to fall on him suddenly vanished, so naturally, he was overjoyed.

He then made a call to invite his wife out, booked a banquet table, and took Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao out for dinner.

Sun Yuncai's wife was indeed young, just in her early twenties, seductive and attractive, making Zhang Runhao's eyes fixate on her.

During the meal, Sun Yuncai spoke freely, openly flirting and being intimate with his young wife, not at all discreet despite Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao being present.

Even Qin Tian, familiar with all sorts of scenarios, couldn't resist asking, "President Sun, if I may ask, how old are you this year?"

"Sixty-six," Sun Yuncai replied with a smile.

After speaking, noticing Qin Tian's gaze, he asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Qin, do you have any questions?"

Qin Tian hesitated and nodded, "President Sun, I do have one question."

"Ask away, we're all friends here, feel free."

"Ahem, alright, I'll be straightforward then. President Sun, at your age, with your distinguished wife in her twenties, in the prime of life, well... can you keep up at night?"

"Pfft!"

As soon as Qin Tian asked, Zhang Runhao couldn't hold back and spat out his drink, looking at Qin Tian in shock!

Master, that question was... a bit too direct!

Even Sun Yuncai's charming wife blushed upon hearing Qin Tian's question, hiding her face into Sun Yuncai's arm in embarrassment.
