After Bai Xiaonian woke up, she didn't see Lu Jinnan in the room. Lu Jinnan had already charged her phone and placed it on the bedside table, within reach.
She turned it on and called the British ambassador's daughter …
Bai Xiaonian apologized to the British ambassador's daughter in a hoarse voice, saying that she had been sick for a few days and that she didn't mean to stand her up. They could arrange to visit Lin Nuan at work tomorrow!
The British ambassador's daughter quickly said that there was no need, saying that Bai Xiaonian wasn't in a hurry.
Bai Xiaonian didn't reject it. After hanging up, Bai Xiaonian called the colleagues who had contacted her.
She had just called her assistant when she heard the young lady say to her in a low voice, "Sister Xiaonian, something big has happened. Because we haven't been able to contact you for the past few days, Sister Huan has been tasked with interviewing the returning diplomat, Mr. Shen Zizhou! Shen Zizhou is famous for keeping a low profile. Sister Xiaonian, you spent a lot of effort to get Mr. Shen Zizhou to accept the interview! Come back quickly! Otherwise, all your hard work over the past few months will go to someone else! "
Hearing her assistant's words, Bai Xiaonian sat up with a start.
It wasn't a big deal to go to someone else. Shen Zizhou was not only famous for keeping a low profile, he simply wanted to hide his identity!
Bai Xiaonian had worked hard for a few months before getting Shen Zizhou's assistant to agree to accept the interview. However, they weren't allowed to bring any cameras or recording equipment on the spot, and Shen Zizhou's assistant had to read the script before it could be published.
Given Shen Zizhou's situation, if he were to find out that they had changed their interviewee without even informing him, they probably wouldn't be able to interview him again in this lifetime.
Bai Xiaonian got off the bed in shock, her legs wobbling, and she almost fell.
"I'll be right there!"
Bai Xiaonian hung up the phone and ran back to the master bedroom. She casually picked out a set of formal clothes that Lu Jinnan had prepared for her, then ran downstairs in a panic.
Lu Jinnan, who was brewing coffee in the dining room, heard noises coming from the stairs. He thought that the housekeeper was being too violent and didn't want to disturb Bai Xiaonian, so he came out of the kitchen. However, he saw Bai Xiaonian bending down to pick up her phone.
"Where are you going?" Lu Jinnan asked.
"Something happened at work! I have to go … "Bai Xiaonian walked to the entryway and pulled open the shoe cabinet, but she couldn't find her shoes." Where are my shoes? "
Bai Xiaonian was so anxious that she couldn't help but speak a little harshly.
"The nanny has washed it. I'll drive you there and buy you a pair of shoes on the way!" Lu Jinnan didn't change his clothes. He grabbed his car keys, changed into his shoes, and walked out with Bai Xiaonian. "What's the matter? Can I be of any help?! "
Bai Xiaonian shook her head …
Just as she got into the car, Bai Xiaonian's assistant called again. She told Bai Xiaonian that she hadn't been able to stop Tong Huan!
This was natural. Ever since Bai Xiaonian returned to the country, Tong Huan had been suppressed by Bai Xiaonian several times. Now that she finally had a chance to stand out, how could she let it go?
Bai Xiaonian hung up the call and dialed Tong Huan's number. She undid the tie of her shirt and was on the verge of scolding Tong Huan. "Tong Huan, I don't care if you want to steal the credit, but do you know how hard it is to get an interview with Shen Zizhou? Shen Zizhou is a weird person. If he finds out that we changed our interviewer without informing him, we won't be able to interview him anymore! Do you understand?! "
Tong Huan didn't care at all. It didn't matter who interviewed her. She even said that Bai Xiaonian's method of stopping her was too low-class. She even proudly told Bai Xiaonian that this was a decision made by the higher-ups, and Bai Xiaonian couldn't stop it!
Moreover, she didn't dare to take on this responsibility. She was someone who obeyed orders from the higher-ups. Before she hung up the call, she even warned Bai Xiaonian not to do anything unnecessary. If she didn't see Shen Zizhou at the entrance of his hotel … then the recording of their call would be returned to the director's hands. By then, she believed that the director would have a clear judgment of who was right and who was wrong.
Bai Xiaonian had no choice but to hang up the call and contact Shen Zizhou's assistant. She attempted to use her illness as the reason to get Shen Zizhou to accept that the higher-ups had changed their interviewer!
Although Bai Xiaonian hated Tong Huan, it didn't mean that she wanted the interview to go down the drain.
However, Shen Zizhou's assistant rejected her. He only said that it was a pity for Bai Xiaonian, and he couldn't even be bothered to say a polite word about working together in the future.
Bai Xiaonian threw her phone and cursed, "F * ck!"
Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, she gritted her teeth …
All these years, the person Bai Xiaonian had wanted to interview the most was Shen Zizhou. All these years, Shen Zizhou had been in Syria and had experienced life and death several times. He was the person who had the clearest view of the current situation in Syria.
After Shen Zizhou got injured, he kept a low profile and returned to the country. His assistant said that … he was planning to hide his identity and stay out of the world, so he wouldn't accept any interviews. Bai Xiaonian repeatedly promised that she wouldn't leak any information about Shen Zizhou other than the contents of the interview. It took her nearly half a year to gain Shen Zizhou's trust.
"Shen … Zizhou?" Lu Jinnan's brows furrowed slightly. "You want to interview him?"
Bai Xiaonian sensed that Lu Jinnan seemed to know Shen Zizhou. "You know Shen Zizhou?"
Lu Jinnan shook his head. "I don't know him, but Old Fu does. Back when Old Fu was still in the army, he protected him on a mission! We should be talking about the same person. "
Fu Huai 'an rarely admired people, so Lu Jinnan remembered this name.
"Then can you …" Bai Xiaonian's eyes lit up.
"Probably not!" Lu Jinnan turned to look at Bai Xiaonian and subconsciously reached out to touch her head. "It was just a protection mission. At that time, Old Fu's identity was different. With Shen Zizhou's status, I'm afraid he doesn't even know who Old Fu is!"
Bai Xiaonian was like a deflated balloon. She leaned against the front passenger seat, feeling increasingly sore and uncomfortable.
Lu Jinnan couldn't bear to see Bai Xiaonian's disappointed look, so he slowed down the car and pulled over to the side.
Bai Xiaonian frowned and was about to open the car door and get out.
Lu Jinnan locked the car door and took out his phone from the storage box. "I'll call Old Fu and ask."
The call went through. Fu Huai 'an's voice had a hint of a smile in it. "Finally willing to appear?"
Lu Jinnan knew that Fu Huai 'an had taken on most of the work for him these few days. He felt a little embarrassed, but he still went straight to the point. "Do you know about Shen Zizhou secretly returning to the country?"
"Why are you concerned about him?" Fu Huai 'an could be heard flipping through documents on the other end of the line.
"Xiaonian has an interview with him today, but because of me, it's going to be ruined …" Lu Jinnan looked at Bai Xiaonian's expectant expression, his index finger tapping on the steering wheel as he said, "If you can get in touch with him, can you ask him to do me a favor and reschedule the time?"
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this …" Fu Huai 'an said sincerely.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaonian knew that her interview would definitely be ruined.
