Chapter 1559 - 1558: Do You Understand What I Mean?

Meanwhile, at ten o'clock in the morning.

In a private guest room of a high-end cafe in London City, Lu Yu savored a cup of coffee carefully. In front of him sat a man dressed in fashion.

This man wore stylish clothes, had handsome looks, a slicked-back hairdo, and a beautifully trimmed beard, exuding an artistic vibe.

This man was Abel, the editor-in-chief of The Times in London City.

The Times is not only the most famous news media in London City but also ranks among the top three in Europe's top ten news media, holding an absolute position in the journalism industry!

And right now, Abel, the editor-in-chief of The Times, with his handsome appearance and professional skills, has gathered tens of millions of fans, making his influence incredibly frightening!

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Editor-in-Chief Abel."

After taking a sip of coffee, Lu Yu spoke lightly, his words filled with a gentle smile, making him appear exceptionally composed.

"Mr. Lu"

Looking at Lu Yu in front of him, Abel spoke extremely politely: "I'm not sure why you called me here; you know I have a lot of manuscripts waiting to be processed."

In his words, Abel's tone conveyed an urgent feeling.

For some reason, even though Lu Yu was smiling, he inadvertently brought a deep sense of pressure.

As a media person, Abel was experienced and worldly-wise, having seen all kinds of people, yet this subtle pressure was something he was encountering for the first time.

"Editor-in-Chief Abel, I called you here not merely to have coffee."

As he said this, Lu Yu gently put down his coffee, smiled slightly, and said, "I have a piece of explosive news that you need to expose. I believe if this news is revealed by your agency, it will garner the widest attention."

As he spoke, Lu Yu placed a black USB drive directly in front of Abel, his face revealing a hint of an intriguing smile.

Explosive news!?

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Abel's interest was instantly piqued. At this moment, he looked at Lu Yu, took out his notebook, pointed at the USB drive, and then said: "Mr. Lu, if you don't mind…"

"Feel free to take a look"

Seeing Abel's gesture, Lu Yu smiled slightly and immediately said, "I believe after seeing this information, Editor-in-Chief Abel will be very interested."

In his words, Lu Yu's tone was deep, carrying a hint of profundity, giving a steady feeling.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Abel responded, simultaneously picking up the USB drive and plugging it into his computer to open it.

As an editor-in-chief, Abel was very rigorous about certain matters, generally having a habit of pre-examining to judge whether the content could be published.

However, as soon as Abel opened the contents of the USB drive, he was stunned; the explosive content greatly exceeded his expectations!

The explosive nature of the contents on this USB drive, once published, would certainly allow both The Times' and his own influence to soar unprecedentedly!

Hiss!

Seeing the contents of the USB drive, Abel drew in a sharp breath, staring at his computer for a long time before slowly lifting his head to look at Lu Yu, saying: "Mr. Lu, this is…"

In his words, Abel's tone was heavy, and with his knowledge and experience, he was completely shocked and stunned by the contents, rendering him nearly speechless.

"As you can see, this is a black ledger depicting the Crescent Group's connections and dealings in London City."

Upon hearing Abel's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and then said, "Once the contents of this ledger are released, it will certainly cause a huge uproar. At that time, not only will The Times' reputation soar, but even Editor-in-Chief Abel's worth will skyrocket!"

"Of course, if you handle things well, this material will grant you an opportunity to win a European News Award, which shouldn't be too difficult."

In his words, Lu Yu spoke eloquently, intentionally or unintentionally using future benefits to entice Abel!

European News Award!

Upon hearing this name, Abel's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement and revealed a trace of greed.

The European News Award is the highest award in Europe for news editors, held annually; winning it equates to recognition of strength, and one's net worth would soar.

Abel hadn't won this award yet, but his handsome appearance and professional knowledge had already earned him tens of millions of fans.

If at this time he could bolster himself with the European News Award, then his worth and status would definitively escalate!

And the black ledger within Lu Yu's USB drive, definitely possesses the strength to help him contend for the European News Award!

For a moment, Abel seemed to envision his future.

Seeing the greedy expression on Abel's face, Lu Yu smiled slightly, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

In this world, no bond surpasses the solidity of interests; judging by the greedy smile on Abel's face, Lu Yu was now certain that this matter was feasible!

"Mr. Lu, your material is extremely valuable. May I ask what price you have in mind?"

Abel looked at Lu Yu, his words filled with inquiry.

There's no free lunch in the world; Lu Yu was able to hand over such explosive news, he likely had some demand, and money was Abel's first consideration.

"Do I look like I need money?"

Upon hearing Abel's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and immediately said, his tone filled with playfulness.

Upon hearing this, Abel hesitated for a moment, feeling embarrassed and shook his head.

Being invited to such a high-end cafe's private guest room, the other party clearly didn't care about money.

"Then, Mr. Lu, may I ask what requests you might have? I will do my utmost to fulfill them."

At this moment, Abel looked at Lu Yu and said, his words filled with inquiry.

"Editor-in-Chief Abel, you need not overthink; I'm giving you this news merely for exposure, not for anything else."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu spoke with a smile, his words deeply mysterious: "This news is something you discovered inadvertently; it has nothing to do with me, and we haven't met today, do you understand what I mean?"
