In Xi Wenlan's circle of friends, there are several chief writers. One of them, Tao Ming, works at Yancheng Evening News and is quite famous.
The main writer came from a small family and relied on his hard work to achieve what he is today. However, he has a high vision. He is not yet married in his 27s and 88s, and he focuses on the rich ladies of wealthy families.
The salary he earned and the support his family gave him were not used to get married and start a family. Instead, he devoted them all to socializing.
He is well-known in his own right, his writing is sharp and popular, and he has indeed slipped into the circles of rich and wealthy men.
He also met Xi Wenlan through a friend's introduction.
Xi Wenlan had no impression of him before, but it was at a reading meeting that he became familiar with him. This man had read many books and knew all kinds of classics at his fingertips. He was indeed very talented.
He knew Xi Wenlan's identity and was even more enthusiastic towards her. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Xi Wenlan was eyeing a higher class and looked down upon him.
But this time, Xi Wenlan asked him to publish a missing person notice in the Yancheng Evening News.
It is very common to publish missing person notices in newspapers. Many newspapers have such advertising space, and the price is not high. For a large-selling newspaper like Yancheng Evening News, a missing person notice advertisement costs about 30 yuan.
The "missing person notice" uses a man's tone to look for a certain girl. The girl returned to Yancheng on a cruise ship with him and bought a Datong store because she was poor.
On cruise ships, some young and beautiful girls will go to the first class cabin to "make friends" and live with each other. This is especially common on ocean voyages, where two people can enjoy a romantic journey for several months together and the spacious first class cabin.
After landing, they separated.
The "man" in the report said that he had lived with a certain girl for five days. The girl claimed that she was the stepdaughter of a high-ranking family and that she would have great opportunities when she arrived in Yancheng.
However, the girl got off the boat halfway and took away a box of valuable items belonging to the "man".
There was a pocket watch among them, which was a family heirloom of the man's wife. The wife was looking for him desperately. He hoped that after reading the newspaper, the girl could meet and return the pocket watch and give him other gold, silver and jewelry.
He also warned the girl that if she did not show up within three days, more information and even her photos would be published.
Such a glamorous "Missing Person Notice" published in a newspaper like Yancheng Evening News, even if it is in a corner, will attract the attention of many people.
Needless to say, the girl will definitely not show up, and then she will release the news bit by bit, and finally the photos.
That photo is undoubtedly that of Yun Qiao.
Although Yun Qiao did not come to Yancheng by cruise ship, a vague guess about some things can make the city full of uproar, let alone such reports?
When Yun Qiao heard her two maids say this, she knew it was Xi Wenlan's new idea.
"Miss, I think even if I destroy this letter, there will still be another one." Jingxin said, "What should we do now? Are we going to confront Miss Ninth?"
When Xi Wenlan went to stop Xi Wenlan, she had a thousand excuses: it was a friend who asked her to help Tao Ming; it was not Yun Qiao, and it had nothing to do with Yun Qiao.
If you don't stop it, you will just watch the photo published in the newspaper. By then, the consequences will have been done. Everyone believes in the first impression, and it will be difficult to prove their innocence no matter how they defend themselves later.
Xi Wenlan's move is quite clever.
Besides, after stopping her this time and hitting Tao Ming, she will still use other tricks next time to find other writers, just to ruin Yun Qiao's reputation.
"I'm afraid it was Miss Sheng who gave her this idea." Yun Qiao smiled.
