Chapter 442: Chapter 442

Yao Yadi scoffed. "First, the scandalous news you have isn’t about Lin Jiji and his boss’s wife. Second, I’m the least influential and well-known reporter here. You’d make more money by choosing them, so there’s no reason for you to work with me."

Chenyang raised an eyebrow. "Is that all?"

"Isn’t that enough?"

"Hahaha, and here I thought you were worried the profit-sharing was unfair. Turns out it was just about these little things?"

Chenyang grinned and said with great solemnity, "First of all, the scandalous news I have is *really* about Lin Jiji and his boss’s wife! Second, the reason I chose you is that I don’t know any of those other reporters. Of course, this is our first time meeting too, but you and I are both from Yang City. Since we’re from the same hometown and there’s a good opportunity to make money, I’d naturally choose you. Of course, there’s another reason I chose you."

"What’s the reason?"

"You’re prettier than they are."

"I..." A blush suddenly appeared on Yao Yadi’s pretty face. "Can you not get so improper all of a sudden when we’re talking about serious business?"

Chenyang’s expression turned serious. "It’s a fact that you’re prettier than them. How is stating a fact improper? Or are you saying your beauty is inherently improper, which is why you think I’m being improper?"

"Are you trying to say a tongue twister?" Yao Yadi shot him an annoyed glare, but inwardly, she couldn’t help but feel a little pleased.

After all, every woman enjoys being complimented.

She was, of course, no exception.

If Lin Jiji were to see Yao Yadi’s shy, delighted expression right now, he would surely go mad with rage and humiliation!

Because before this, he had also praised Yao Yadi’s beauty, and the look in his eyes then was almost identical to the one in Chenyang’s now.

But at the time, Yao Yadi had cursed him out for being a dirty pervert, whereas Chenyang had earned a devastatingly beautiful smile from the lovely woman.

Of course, Lin Jiji was currently waiting in a state of panicked, helpless dejection and was in no state of mind to notice any of this.

Chenyang, however, returned to the matter at hand. "So? Are you going to work with me or not?"

Yao Yadi shook her head. "I’m a reporter for a television station; any news about Lin Jiji is meaningless to me. As for making a deal with his boss’s wife, that’s not something I can do. Not to mention I don’t have her contact information, but even if I did manage to contact her and negotiate a deal, I would one hundred percent face their retaliation afterward."

Chenyang raised an eyebrow. "You mean, after the boss’s wife pays to have the evidence destroyed, she’ll retaliate against you?"

"Isn’t that a given? A powerful figure like that, suddenly being manipulated and threatened by a small fry like me... after ensuring the evidence is destroyed, she would definitely come back to settle the score."

"Then why aren’t the other reporters afraid?"

"They do this kind of thing often. They have the experience and the methods to avoid retaliation."

Yao Yadi waved her hand. "I can help you explain the situation, but I really can’t do this. Still, I have to thank you for thinking of me as one of your own and approaching me first."

"Just saying thank you isn’t enough. After all, I was prepared to give you a cut of several hundred thousand."

"Then what do you want?"

"How about a kiss?"

"You..."

Seeing Yao Yadi’s pretty face turn cold, Chenyang quickly changed his tune. "Just kidding, don’t take it seriously. If you really want to thank me, treat me to dinner later."

"Dinner is no problem. For now, you should hurry up and deal with your situation."

Yao Yadi hadn’t actually been angry. She pursed her lips in a small smile and stepped back to her original spot.

Chenyang, for his part, turned to face the reporters in front of him.

"You all want an exclusive?"

"Of course we do!" the reporters said in unison.

"But I only have two pieces of information, and there are so many of you. Who should I give them to?"

A reporter on the left shouted without a second thought, "Give them to me!"

Another reporter shot back, "Why should he give them to you? In this situation, either Doctor Chen chooses based on his own preference, or we let the highest bidder win!"

"Fine, I support a fair competition!"

"Doctor Chen, give us a little hint about the information first, and then we’ll make our bids."

"Alright, then I’ll just..."

"Wait!"

Just as Chenyang started to speak, a pleasant voice suddenly cut in from the side.

He looked toward the voice and saw a stunning, queenly woman with a powerful presence suddenly making her way briskly through the crowd toward them.

Chenyang had never seen this woman before. Her unique charisma, powerful aura, and looks that were in no way inferior to Lin Xiaoyue’s or Yao Yadi’s made him raise an eyebrow slightly. ’What’s so special about today? How come all of Yang City’s finest beauties have suddenly gathered here?’
