The Chengdu Daily had called him several times. Otherwise, Yuan Zhou wouldn't have saved his number.
That was indeed the case. Before Yuan Zhou went to Shanghai to participate in the China-Japan Exchange Conference, the newspaper had wanted to interview Yuan Zhou exclusively. However, it was rejected by Yuan Zhou who didn't like trouble.
Now, he had a pillow to sleep on. Accepting an interview and then being reported on was naturally a good way to increase his fame.
Moreover, after Yuan Zhou returned to Chengdu, he didn't accept any follow-up reports. Now, his popularity had slowly settled down. There were some strange programs that mentioned Yuan Zhou, but there were no other regular reports.
Now, another round of interviews was indeed just right. It could not only increase his fame but also clarify some false content.
Moreover, it could also show that this was the first official newspaper interview.
"Seems like I have to thank this reporter." When Yuan Zhou answered the phone, he smiled.
"Hello, Master Yuan. I'm sorry to disturb you again." A crisp female voice came from the phone. It was kind, gentle and polite.
"It's okay." Yuan Zhou's voice was as cold as ever.
"Boss Yuan, what do you think about the interview?" The female voice on the other end of the phone seemed to know Yuan Zhou better, so she spoke more directly.
"Sure," Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"I know you are busy with work. I will choose when you are free and prepare the questions in advance. It definitely won't involve your privacy. It will only be about the kitchen. I hope you can consider it seriously. After all, you have just defeated Tengyuan Jiayuan." The female reporter only paused politely at the beginning. She didn't hear clearly what Yuan Zhou said and continued speaking.
Only when she finished speaking did the female reporter realize what Yuan Zhou had just said.
"Am I right? What did you say just now?" The female reporter was silent for five seconds before she suppressed her voice and asked calmly.
"I'm free tomorrow afternoon." Yuan Zhou didn't repeat his own words but directly changed his words.
"Okay, okay. Thank you, Boss Yuan." The female reporter was afraid that Yuan Zhou would go back on his words, so she immediately agreed.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded and was about to hang up.
"How about 3: 30 tomorrow afternoon? What do you think of this time?" The female reporter asked in a hurry.
"Sure," Yuan Zhou agreed readily.
"Okay, see you at 3: 30 tomorrow afternoon. Thank you, Boss Yuan." The female reporter thanked him again.
"You're welcome." Yuan Zhou hung up the phone.
In the office of Chengdu Daily, a voice came from one of the cubicles. "Yes, Boss Yuan finally agreed. That's great."
"Little Shu, did Boss Yuan agree to your interview?" The middle-aged woman in the cubicle turned around and asked in surprise.
"Yes, thank you, Sister Qian. I'm really touched by Boss Yuan." Shu was the female reporter who had just called Yuan Zhou.
Having got the affirmative answer, Sister Qian looked at Little Shu in surprise and then said.
"I heard from Presenter Lu of Folk Talent that Boss Yuan is a tough talker but soft-hearted person. You just need to torture him a few more times. Am I right?" Sister Qian, who was relatively older, said smilingly.
Although Sister Qian said so, she was actually quite shocked inwardly. After all, it was indeed Presenter Lu who said that, but he also said that it was very likely that the interview wouldn't succeed. After all, apart from that program, Yuan Zhou hadn't accepted any other newspaper interviews or TV reports.
It was just like the saying, "As long as you work hard, you will succeed."
"Yeah. Thank you for reminding me. Just now, Boss Yuan agreed immediately. Tomorrow is the time for the interview." Little Shu nodded her head repeatedly and said approvingly.
"I didn't help much. You'd better write the interview draft well. Don't make any mistakes tomorrow." Sister Qian warned her carefully.
"Don't worry, Sister Qian." Little Shu made a gesture of "OK" and said confidently.
"By the way, Boss Yuan is really awesome. I watched a health program last night and it surprisingly mentioned that Boss Yuan eats an egg every day. That's why he's so healthy. It's so amazing." Thinking of that unreliable expert, Little Shu felt it both funny and also felt that Yuan Zhou was really awesome.
"It's nothing special. I also saw some reports on the Internet about which dishes are good and which are not good. In the end, they said that Boss Yuan chose the dishes in that way." Sister Qian shrugged helplessly.
"Haw-haw. That's right. Some people even said how Boss Yuan chose the radishes and what kind of radishes were good. Anyway, as long as it's food, people will talk about it. Boss Yuan also did that." A man at the side interrupted and said. "Exactly.
"Exactly. Boss Yuan is now an authoritative figure in the cooking world. Whatever he says is right." Other colleagues also chimed in.
"I can't help it. After all, Boss Yuan is the first person in our Sichuan Province who can subdue Tengyuan Jiayuan. Besides, he's quite good-looking." Little Shu said smilingly.
"Alright. Stop talking. Go to work." At that time, Sister Qian said to drive them away.
"Got it." Little Shu and other colleagues nodded together and then went back to work.
Time passed quickly. For Little Shu, she only proofread the interview draft several times before the appointed time with Yuan Zhou arrived. She arrived at the door of Yuan Zhou's restaurant at 3: 20 am
"Hoo. I almost didn't make it." Standing at the door of Yuanzhou Shop, Little Shu stroked her chest and breathed evenly. Only then did she walk into the restaurant.
"Hello, Boss Yuan. I am Shu Hui, a reporter from Chengdu Daily. Are you free now?" Little Shu, also known as Shu Hui, walked to the door and introduced herself.
"Come in, please." Yuan Zhou put down the bowl in his hand, wiped his hands clean and walked out of the kitchen.
"Hello, Boss Yuan." Shu Hui nodded her head and greeted him smilingly.
"Have a seat." Yuan Zhou pointed at the small table for two people and said.
"Thank you." Shu Hui didn't sit down until Yuan Zhou sat down. She was quite polite.
Yuan Zhou looked behind Shu Hui and found no one else. She was alone with a backpack and didn't have any cameras. Therefore, he didn't say anything.
After all, he had never been interviewed by a newspaper before. Of course, this was the first time. Of course, he couldn't reveal this. Therefore, Yuan Zhou just sat there calmly.
"Boss Yuan, I will record the interview together with a pen and paper. Is that okay?" Shu Hui took out a small recording pen and a notebook and said.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded his head indifferently as if he were quite familiar with her.
"Okay. Let's get started." Shu Hui nodded her head and prepared to start directly.
From the phone conversation, she knew that Yuan Zhou didn't like to be long-winded and liked to do things straightforwardly. Therefore, Shu Hui was also very straightforward.
"By the way, please prepare your own tea during the non-business hours of the restaurant." Before the interview started, Yuan Zhou suddenly said.
"Well, thank you, Boss Yuan, for reminding me. I prepared my own tea." Shu Hui was stupefied for an instant and then took out her own cup.
"Um. Let's get started." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then said.
"Okay." Looking at Yuan Zhou's manner, Shu Hui didn't know why she had a bad premonition.
