Completing an interview seemed to be just an on-camera reporter talking loudly in front of the camera. It seemed that it could be carried out at any time, but in reality, it was a huge project. It required the precise cooperation of an entire professional team to complete it, especially when it was an interview with a big shot.
Upon hearing the urging voice from the phone, Julie, who was experienced in interviewing, had her eyes lit up right away. She quickened her footsteps. "Henry, I suddenly have a hunch that good luck is coming …"
"Your hunch is right, girl. That old Padin actually secretly got the opportunity to interview the behind-the-scenes boss of LS.
You must know that even though that prematurely aged skinny Asian man is low-key, he's full of 'news points'. This is a very rare opportunity. If you grab hold of it, you'll probably be able to become a real anchor … "
"Achesi, you have 15 minutes, no, 14 minutes to reach the Ocean Empire Building. Leave now!" Stimulated by the words on the phone, the female reporter who quickly got into the interview car yelled at the driver and shouted at the phone, "Of course I understand that this is a very rare opportunity. Henry, don't be so long-winded. Hurry up and send me the interview target's information and interview questions."
"Okay, I'll send it right away! I wish you success, girl!" A final sound resonated from the other end of the phone before the call was hung up. More than ten seconds later, when Cathy, who was the assistant, began to touch up Julie's makeup, a new packaged email was sent to the female reporter's tablet.
Without wasting even a minute, Julie let Cathy continue to work on her face with a small powder brush while she impatiently opened the email.
Due to the reason that the construction of the Noah World's network had just been completed and the sudden war had turned a complete copy of the information into a dream, there was not much information about the young Asian boss of the LS Group.
Other than legendary introductions such as founding the LS Slaughterhouse at the age of 17 and laying the foundation of a multi-billion-dollar group, publishing papers in the world's top academic magazines such as "Science" and "Nature Biology" almost at the same time, and directly obtaining a Ph.D. in biology from Stanford, there were only a few mixed news reports.
Her fingers kept moving as she quickly read through all the information. Just as Julie was about to carefully study the interview questions, she suddenly felt that the photo in the article on the computer screen was inexplicably familiar. She couldn't help but murmur, "I should have seen this photo before, but I don't have any impression of it. This is really strange …"
"You mean the photo of the behind-the-scenes boss of LS? Head …" Cathy, who had just finished touching up Julie's makeup, tilted her head and looked at the computer curiously. "Lisheng Zhang? This name is really familiar. Oh yeah, Rayli's Asian brother's name seems to have this pronunciation as well. His facial features are a bit similar as well. Perhaps ten years later, he would be able to act in the impersonation show of the LS Group's boss after taking drugs."
Zhang Lisheng, who had become healthy and young in appearance after becoming a god, was already a far cry from his pale and skinny appearance when he consumed his blood essence to feed the wizard gus every day.
What's more, in the eyes of the Westerners, the faces of Asians were very similar. Even if the female reporter had sharp professional observation, she would not be able to see through the truth just by looking at an old news photo.
She casually smiled at her assistant and said, "Don't be so mean to Cathy. Rayli is your good friend." Julie, who was pressed for time, no longer thought about it. She swiped on the computer and began to seriously figure out the interview questions.
At the same time, the interview car sped under the hot sun of New Washington A and finally arrived at the magnificent Ocean Empire Hotel in advance about ten minutes later.
"We've reached the end. 11 minutes and 47 seconds. What a miracle!
Looks like my destiny is not to be an ordinary interview car driver but an F1 racer instead, isn't it? "The driver of the interview car with a brown-red face of a Mexican stopped the car and said proudly.
"The basis of your miracle today is that you didn't run into any red lights all the way. There are no red lights on the F1 track anyway, so just drive your interview car with peace of mind, Achesi." After quickly noting down the main points of the interview questions, Julie breathed a long sigh of relief and got out of the car. Then, she brought her assistant, cameraman, lighting technician, and so on into the hotel.
Unlike the hot and dry weather unique to the sandy oasis city during the day, the Ocean Empire Hotel lobby, which had a complete combination of natural scenery and modern civilization, was cool and humid. Unfortunately, before the female reporter and her group could even catch their breath, the LS Group's reception staff and a group of NBC TV colleagues went up to greet them.
After studying Julie up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, a tall, solemn-looking middle-aged African American woman wearing an old-fashioned gray suit among the LS reception staff reached out her hand and said, "You must be Miss Julie Mihill, the on-duty anchor that NBC has found, right? I'm Lans Flittel, the director of the LS Group's media department. Nice to meet you."
"Hello, Madam Lans. I'm also very honored to be able to cooperate with you, but please allow me to ask about my injured colleague's condition first." Julie shook hands with the middle-aged woman and asked sincerely.
"Of course, please feel free."
"Tang Bin, how's Lucie?" The girl showed a grateful smile to Lans and turned to ask her colleagues.
Upon seeing that the first thing she did was not to mention the interview but to ask about the injury of her competitor, the few lucky unlucky fellows who had been in a car accident but were safe and sound but whose hard work for two to three weeks had gone down the drain finally had their embarrassed expressions ease up a little. Someone replied listlessly, "He's still in the hospital, but he's out of danger now."
"That's good!" Julie nodded with a relieved expression and immediately entered the main topic. Turning back to Lans, she said, "Madam Lans, I've already written down the interview questions on the way here, but I have some new ideas. Can I take a few minutes to discuss with you again?"
"Miss Julie, the interview questions have gone through three days of careful discussion," Lans said with a frown. "It's because of your relatively gentle interview style that I agreed to let you interview the doctor on behalf of me, but now that the interview is about to begin, you actually said so …"
"I really only need three to five minutes, Madam. Please listen to my opinion. If you don't agree, just pretend that this never happened."
"Alright then." Lans raised her wrist and looked at her watch. "You have five minutes."
"Thank you, Madam. It's like this, I hope that I can ask Dr. Lisheng a few harmless personal questions at the beginning of the interview to shorten the distance between the doctor and the ordinary audience …" Julie voiced out her opinion very quickly. She actually magically added three more questions in just a few minutes, causing her colleagues who thought that she was lucky to get the opportunity to look at her in a new light.
After successfully reaching a consensus with the head of the media department of the LS Group, Julie impatiently shifted her attention to her former partner. "Hanks, I'm ready. What about you? Can you start recording the opening now?"
"You're really impatient, Julie. Oh, if it wasn't for the fact that this Miss Lans from the LS Media Department doesn't approve of my overly spicy interview style, this opportunity would have been mine …" Hanks seemed to want to make a magnanimous joke, but the depressed expression that could not be concealed on his face revealed that he was really in a bad mood at this time.
However, when the camera was turned on to face this ace reporter, his performance immediately became professional. "Good evening, everyone. I'm Hanks Elton, and I'm currently reporting live in the unique hotel lobby of the landmark Ocean Empire Tower in the new Washington A City … Everyone, I'm Hanks Elton.
In a while, my beautiful colleague, Julie Misher, will meet with a legendary figure …
Now, we're going to ask Julie, are you ready? "
"Oh, Hanks, don't be like this. The moment I'm asked by you and the audience in front of the TV, I'm getting nervous again …" With the tacit cooperation of the two experienced and natural seasoned reporters in front of the camera, the opening that only took two to three minutes was soon recorded.
After that, the LS receptionist brought the two TV station interview groups that appeared to be mixed together in a grandiose manner and more than half of the program group to the staff-only elevator.
They went straight up to the executive floor on the 86th floor of the hotel. After passing through a long corridor covered with red cashmere carpet and turning a corner, they saw a huge scanning door standing high up.
Behind the door was a single desk used by a beautiful girl with a supermodel's figure.
Behind it were more than ten burly men wearing police riot armor, standing straight against the wall.
Everything in front of them first stunned the knowledgeable TV station staff. Then, they consciously planned to take out the metal items on them, but to their surprise, Lans suddenly introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen from NBC, this is not a metal scanner. As long as you don't carry any weapons, you'll be able to pass through safely.
Of course, if anyone has the habit of carrying a gun or a dagger that is longer than five centimeters, please hand it over immediately. We promise to keep it for you and return it to you when you leave. "
"Please rest assured, Madam Lans. We, NBC people, don't have the habit of carrying weapons for interviews." After looking at each other for a few seconds with her colleagues, Julie said with a wry smile on behalf of all her colleagues. She took the lead to pass through the scanning door and said to the young girl who looked like a secretary behind the door, "Miss, I'm Julie Mihill from NBC TV. I have an appointment with Dr. Lisheng for an interview."
"I'm Alice Jolie, the director of the security department of the LS Group. The doctor is already waiting for you. Miss Julie, please come with me." The girl stood up and replied politely with a smile. However, it was only until all of the TV station staff had passed through the weapon scan without any abnormalities that she turned around and brought Julie to continue the unfinished journey.
After walking through another long corridor, they finally came to a huge classical mahogany carved arched door at the end.
Alice gently pushed open the wooden door and walked into an office that was as big as half a football field. Then, she said softly to a back bathed in the dazzling sunlight, "Dr., the NBC reporter is here."
