The suited reporter looked around and confirmed that his colleagues were resting. He was the first and only reporter to learn of this news. Immediately, he was secretly delighted and excited. He quickly took out his cell phone and made a call!
"Hello, President. That, Shi Shi … Xiaobai has entered the eighth … eighth level!" The suited reporter held his cell phone with one hand as he suppressed his voice and said nervously and excitedly.
"What did you say? You idiot. Can't you speak louder! Did you find some staff making news again? How many times have I told you? You have to do things in a down-to-earth and clear manner. Find me another piece of trash news like 'a hen ascends a tree' or 'a sow plunges into the sea'. Do as you see fit. Hmph! "
The president roared angrily. He actually had a lot of opinions about this suited reporter. He didn't have the looks or the ability, but he still looked for obscure news every day. If it wasn't for the fact that the suited reporter had served the newspaper for many years, he would have fired him long ago.
The suited reporter frowned as he turned his head to the side, distancing the cell phone from his ear.
In his heart, the president was small in every aspect. He was small in stature, petty in mind, and petty in bearing. However, there was one thing that made him bigger than anyone else. His voice was louder than anyone else.
Hmph! 'Hen ascends a tree 'or' a sow plunges into the sea '. Do they have it easy? How can you call it trash news? You really have no taste.
Although the suited reporter was somewhat angry, he did not forget the original reason for making the call. Immediately, he calmed his emotions and raised his voice with a smile.
"President, Shi Xiaobai has entered the eighth level of the tower of trials!"
"Ah?! Shi Xiaobai has finally entered the eighth level! "
The president heard it clearly this time. He first exclaimed before falling silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, he said with a praising tone, "Not bad. Beautifully done. You are indeed the rising star of our Donglin Newspaper. Do well and continue working hard. There will be 'bread and milk'. A promotion and pay raise won't be a problem! "
After the president said that, he smiled at the editor who was busy in the office. "Editor Liu, this will be the headline of the evening newspaper. Try to decide on it as soon as possible. We are the first to get the news. Haha, there will definitely be no more explosive news than this."
Editor-in-chief Liu nodded vigorously. He looked a little excited. Donglin Newspaper was just a small newspaper. Most of the reporters who were out and about were country bumpkins who had been eliminated by other newspapers. The news that came in every day made him want to die. Every time, he had to use his "literary talent" to come up with some "philosophical" headlines, such as "Shocking! A certain village chief climbed up the tree several times just to find chickens! " "Could it be that only beauties can go to sea these days? No! Watch the sow bravely dive into the sea! "
However, it was a pity that the news itself was too obscure. Even the "philosophical" headline could not save it. Instead, it was labeled as a "shameless headline junkie."
But today, Donglin News Agency seemed to be welcoming spring.
Shi Xiaobai's entry into the eighth level was something that the entire country paid attention to. It was news that could even shock the world!
If they could publish this news as soon as possible, Donglin News Agency's reputation would soar!
Editor-in-chief Liu did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly typed on the keyboard and wrote the message.
In the auditorium, the suited reporter waved his fists forcefully. Only the heavens knew that other reporters ate their meals on time and would return home to sleep when they were tired. As for him, in order to keep up with this news, he ate bread and bento every day. He even slept on the auditorium's floor in the middle of the night. Indeed, the heavens did not disappoint the diligent. His efforts were not in vain!
Phew, I have to celebrate tonight!
With this thought in mind, the suited reporter began to feel conflicted. "Should I go to a healthcare center or a massage parlor?"
At this moment, there was an uproar at the trial tower's exit. Following that, many medical staff stationed nearby ran towards the trial tower's exit.
The suited reporter looked at the strange actions of these people in a daze. He had yet to discover anything amiss, but he had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.
He quickly ran over and pulled a female doctor back. He asked loudly, "What happened!?"
The female doctor looked horrified and nervous. She glanced at the reporter and said with a trembling voice, "Li … Li Wuyu is … dead!"
"What!? Speechless is dead!? "The suited reporter did not notice that his call had not been hung up as he shouted into the phone.
"Gulp — — Li … Speechless is dead!?" The president was still leisurely drinking his coffee a moment ago, imagining the scene of the newspapers being snatched up by the Chinese citizens the next day. When he heard the sudden shout, he nearly spat out his coffee from fright.
When the suited reporter heard the president's voice, he realized that the call was still connected. He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down. He calmly looked at the trial tower's exit. Combined with all the sudden signs, the medical staff's panic, the female doctor's horror, and the commotion at the trial tower's exit, Speechless' death was most likely true. The impact of this news was probably more shocking than Shi Xiaobai entering the eighth level. After all, Speechless was a disciple of the mysterious large family clan — the Li family.
"President, this news can't be wrong. Speechless is really dead!" The suited reporter said.
"Good, you did well!" The president was extremely shocked. He momentarily did not have the mood to praise the suited reporter's' extraordinary 'performance.
At this moment, Editor Liu, who was preparing the headline, asked, "President, do we … change the headline?"
"Of course we have to change it! The person who died is Speechless! "
The president first roared before realizing something was amiss. He whispered, "That's not right. Shi Xiaobai has entered the eighth level. That's the eighth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower. There have only been three people in history. This is a matter that will leave their names in the future. Furthermore, Shi Xiaobai has recently become a trending topic. This matter might not be less sensational than Speechless' death."
Editor Liu said in embarrassment, "Then what do we do? There can only be one headline … "
The president frowned as he weighed the importance of the two pieces of news. Immediately, he felt a headache coming on. He found it difficult to compare and felt vexed. He shouted at Editor Liu, "You are the chief editor. Do as you see fit!"
Editor Liu felt helpless. This was the first time he realized that there was plenty of good news. So there was also the pain of having plenty of good news!
Sigh, being a chief editor sure is a tough job. It's much more comfortable being a president.
Editor Liu grumbled in his heart, but as usual, he racked his brains to think of a solution to the problem the newspaper had thrown at him.
Two major pieces of news only had one headline.
Who should he release?
Suddenly, Editor Liu's eyes lit up.
"Stupid! Can't you just combine the two pieces of news into one!? "
At that moment, Editor Liu felt that he was too smart!
He chuckled and with an idea, he tapped on the keyboard and wrote the headline for tonight's evening newspaper —
"Shi Xiaobai ascends to the eighth level, Speechless descends to hell. The number one person of the younger generation will henceforth change!"
