575 Right and proper

"Editor Qi."

At a restaurant next to the Feilang headquarters.

Fang Qing smiled and waved at Qi Kang as he walked in.

"Lawyer Fang."

Qi Kang approached with a smile that seemed somewhat stiff, or perhaps forced.

Fang Qing acted as if she hadn't noticed, "Please, have a seat."

"Lawyer Fang, just call me Qi Kang."

Fang Qing was noncommittal, "I haven't ordered yet, and I don't know what you like to eat."

"Lawyer Fang, you are too polite. This time, it's my turn to treat you."

"Last time we drank, it was Tong Dan who paid the bill, it had nothing to do with me. Besides, you helped me out a lot; it's the least I can do."

Fang Qing's smile remained, but upon hearing this, Qi Kang felt even more ashamed.

Clenching his teeth, he said, "Lawyer Fang, I'm truly sorry."

Fang Qing's smile did not waver as she probed with just the right tone, "Those two news articles, they received such good feedback, why were they suddenly retracted?"
