"Sorry, our boss is rather busy and doesn't have time for your interview right now," said the bodyguard as he pulled out several stacks of Hundred Yuan Bills from his pocket and handed them to Wang Yu. He continued, "The boss acknowledges that your job is quite hard, so he's giving you this money to buy some water."
A sudden turn of events unfolded, and Wang Yu was ready to confront Zhou Qitian, but Zhou Qitian was nowhere to be seen.

What was certain was that Zhou Qitian was trying to bribe him with the money, likely due to the fake identity of a journalist. His aim, presumably, was to have Wang Yu write more favorable articles in the future to enhance his social image.
On this point, Wang Yu's guess was spot on; that was indeed Zhou Qitian's idea.
