1016. Bottom Line
Just when the two reporters inquired about Drake's news, Li Xiang was also reporting to Nie Wei.
"I have already paid the medical expenses, and it only cost three hundred and fifty dollars, and when his family comes, I will give them another five hundred dollars for nutrition, Mr. Nie, do you think this is okay?"
"Let's do it. Nie Wei nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Have you recorded the conversation between you and Drake?"
"It's all done, and Drake said a lot of thank you. Li Xiang replied with a smile.
He wanted to laugh from the bottom of his heart, Drake provoked Nie Wei from the beginning today, and actually thanked Nie Wei in the end, this change was quite interesting in Li Xiang's opinion.
Nie Wei knew very well that this was just a matter of short-sightedness.
"In addition to the nutrition fee, you can buy them some nutrition and supplements. Nie Wei thought about it and gave another order, after all, you have to do a full set of plays.
Today's incident was seen by media reporters around, although Doug promised that these media would not talk nonsense, but Nie Wei would definitely not be so naΓ―ve.
In the face of huge news material, these reporters can not even want their lives, let alone just a warning from you, a policeman, who has no threat?
Therefore, Nie Wei must be fully prepared to deal with the media.
Like the video of the on-site cameraman, as well as these follow-up processing, Nie Wei can be said to be able to make people unable to find any fault, if the media deliberately smears him, he also has evidence to fight back.
"Come back when you're done, I've already ordered a big meal for you at the hotel, and I've worked hard for you today." Before hanging up the phone, Nie Wei didn't forget to praise Li Xiang.
Today, Li Xiang was busy before and after, and he really made a lot of effort.
After Li Xiang received Nie Wei's praise, he also hurriedly said excitedly: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's all what I should do." β
Hanging up the phone, Li Xiang couldn't help but wave his fist a few times excitedly, if it wasn't for the hospital, he couldn't wait to scream a few times to vent the joy in his heart, after all, it was Nie Wei's praise, in the workplace, what could be happier than being praised and appreciated by his boss.
After all, this probably represents a promotion and a salary increase.
Of course, after the excitement, he quickly regained his composure, after all, the task assigned by the boss is the most important, so after stopping a little nurse to warm up to the nearby fruit shop, he hurriedly set off.
After about twenty minutes, Li Xiang, who had bought a lot of fruits in the supermarket, returned to the hospital, but when he walked to the corridor where Drake stayed, he found that there were already five or six people gathered there, and one of them attracted Li Xiang's attention, because he had also seen this woman on the set before, not that he had an amazing memory, but that this woman was nearly 1.8 meters tall, and she looked exceptionally tall and eye-catching in a group of people.
The group of people didn't notice Li Xiang's arrival, after all, this was a corridor and not a ward, and there were many people back and forth, how could Lucy, who was concentrating on the interview at this time, have the heart to pay attention to others.
"Mr. Derek, is your injury caused by Mr. Nie Wei?" Lucy tried to take Drake's words as best she could, directing him to the answer she wanted.
Sure enough, hearing Lucy's question, Drake nodded of course.
"This injury is indeed caused by Mr. Nie Wei, but ......"
"Oh, thank you for your answer, and why there is a conflict between you and Mr. Nie Wei, you can tell me in detail. Lucy didn't give Drake a 'but' chance at all, those explanations weren't what she wanted to hear.
All she needed was Drake's nod, after all, the news she wanted was conflict, which could rise to conflict caused by wealth disparity, or conflict between races, or both, but she just didn't want those warm veins.
Because only this kind of conflict will make the reader indignant, excited, and enjoyable, and the warmth will only coax the reader to sleep, and maybe it will also evaluate the 'false'.
Lucy was very happy here, but Li Xiang, who had been eavesdropping on them for a long time, was not in a good mood.
What did this female reporter mean? He understood it in a few words.
Isn't it just to splash dirty water on your boss as much as possible?
Li Xiang felt that he couldn't listen to it anymore after listening to it for a while, this female reporter didn't respect the facts at all, she was completely talking to Drake, and at the same time, she was also glad in her heart, fortunately the boss let him record it at the beginning, otherwise if today's incident was reported according to the female reporter's question and answer, the whole thing would be completely reversed.
At that time, if the Drake family is persuaded by this group of reporters to give false testimony again, I am afraid that Nie Weichang will not be able to explain this matter clearly with ten mouths.
Of course, the top priority was to stop the female reporter from asking any further questions and sternly warn her not to make false reports.
"May I ask this lady, what are you doing here?" Li Xiang immediately made a decision, squeezed in, stopped by Drake's side, and questioned Lucy.
Lucy was taken aback by Li Xiang's sudden appearance, but quickly calmed down, looking at Li Xiang's obviously Asian face, coupled with a little familiarity, she quickly determined that this must be Nie Wei's person.
"Of course I'm interviewing this gentleman. Lucy pointed to Derek behind Li Xiang, and then took out the phone: "Please don't disturb my interview, otherwise I can call the police." β
"Then please call the police now, just because I suspect that your interview violates journalistic ethics and is suspected of discrediting my employer, I believe the law will give us a fair and just sentence, isn't it?" Li Xiang was not afraid of Lucy's threats.
Lucy was not surprised by this, the police were originally to scare Li Xiang, in her impression, these Asians are very afraid of the appearance of the police, even if they are the reasonable party in the matter itself.
Seeing that her trick couldn't scare Li Xiang, Lucy snorted coldly and put away her phone.
"I don't want to waste my precious time on you, I repeat it again, please get out of the way, my interview subject is Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake has already agreed to be interviewed by us, you are obstructing our freedom of the press, can it be said that the person you represent has always been so domineering?"
Although Lucy didn't mention who Li wanted to represent, everyone actually knew who it was.
"We Chinese people do things, the most particular thing is peace, we are the most peace-loving country in the world, and there are never many overbearing things, but if some people want to use some language games to smear or even hurt us, we will never accept it weakly, and we will never be soft when it is time to fight back. β
"Miss reporter, do you understand what I said? Please put away your little tricks. Li Xiang pointed to the voice recorder in Lucy's hand, the female reporter deliberately covered the working light of the voice recorder, and its purpose was naturally self-evident.
But what Lucy didn't expect was that Li Xiang had been guarding against her little tricks from the beginning.
"Hmph!" Lucy didn't turn off the recorder because of this, but he was in a very unhappy mood, he found that the guy in front of him was too cunning, he didn't leak a drop of words, and his little tricks were all discovered by him, just cunning like a fox.
So Lucy decided not to dwell on this person, but to ask Drake directly.
"Mr. Drake, do you want to be interviewed by us?" said Lucy, "our newspaper sells more than 100,000 copies nationwide. β
"Cut. Li Xiang heard this data, snorted disdainfully, and choked Lucy angrily.
"I promise to put your interview in a clear place. Fortunately, Lucy is also an old reporter, and her cheekiness is nothing, so she quickly stabilized her mood and continued to tempt Drake.
As soon as Drake heard that he would appear in the newspaper news, he was immediately moved.
"Really, my name will appear in the newspapers?"
"Not only your name, but also your picture will appear in the newspaper. Lucy pointed to her companion Rick, who was very cooperative with the camera and gestured to Drake.
When Drake saw the camera, his expression was a little excited, and he even ignored the pain in his ankle for a while, and his relatives also showed expressions of interest, as if they all wanted Drake to be in the newspaper.
Li Xiang watched from the sidelines, understanding the reaction of the Drake family.
He had a brief conversation with Drake just now, and he also knew that Drake's family was counting on Drake's future play to be successful and could change the fate of the family, so Drake was so afraid of injury, because he was afraid that his willfulness would ruin himself, not to mention, but also ruin the family's dreams.
There are not many such families in Li Xiang's impression, for example, don't the poor in many countries in South America point to their children playing football and then change their families' lives?
Like those South American stars, most of them are actually miserable at home.
And in North America, how many of the NBA stars, especially black stars, come from wealthy families?
Many of them have changed the fate of themselves and their families by relying on basketball, which has also played a great role model, and has also made more people want to squeeze into this professional circle one after another, in order to change their fate.
After all, as long as they can sign a formal contract with an NBA team, they will have at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in income, which is for the Drake family, and even money they can't earn for decades.
Looking at the Drake family's move, Li Xiang was not flustered.
"Derek, calm down and listen to me. Lee wanted to smile gently, and while reassuring Drake, who was about to be interviewed, he said, "I don't think you can be in a third-rate entertainment newspaper like theirs to be of any use to your basketball career, do I?"
"Sir, please pay attention to your words...... "Lucy is not happy, what is a third-rate entertainment newspaper, their newspaper is obviously a first-class entertainment newspaper in the local area.
However, Li Xiang's next words left her speechless.
Ignoring Lucy's protests, Li Xiang said: "You may only know that our boss is a director, but you don't know his other identity, he is also the boss of the Los Angeles Times, as long as he intended, he can let the whole United States know you, here I want to mention that the sales of the Los Angeles Times are two million copies." β
When Li wanted to say this, he deliberately stretched out two fingers and gestured towards Lucy, and the angry Lucy almost didn't grit her teeth.
Obviously, Li Xiang is deliberately targeting the 100,000 sales she just said.
But Lucy wanted to refute but didn't follow at all, after all, their newspaper and world-class media like the Los Angeles Times have no comparison at all, Li Xiang seems to be showing off, but in fact, what he said is not exaggerating at all, it is all the truth.
Isn't it great to have a big newspaper?" Lucy thought to herself.
Li Xiang looked at the angry Lucy with a smile, if he knew what Lucy was thinking at this time, he would definitely tell her that it was amazing.
Sure enough, after hearing Li Xiang's words, Drake even breathed rapidly.
"Drake, I remember your favorite team was in Los Angeles, and our owner had a good relationship with that team......"
"Sir, you are tempting my interviewee, and I suspect that you are trying to cover up the truth of the matter in this way. Lucy didn't dare to let Li Xiang continue, because she knew that the weight in her hand and Li Xiang couldn't be compared at all, and if Li Xiang was allowed to say this again, Drake's heart would definitely be completely biased towards Li Xiang.
It's just that what Lucy didn't expect was that she was so suddenly sideways, which actually offended the Drake family.
At this time, including Drake, all five members of their family stared at Lucy viciously, especially Drake, who wanted to give this stinky bitch a few slaps at this moment, so that she understood that there were some things that she could not decide for herself.
Only Drake knew how much impact Li Xiang's words had on him just now.
Although Li Xiang only revealed a little, and no one could confirm that this was true, in Drake's mind, how could such a big man fool the low-level masses like himself.
And he doesn't ask for much, if Nie Wei can really give him a chance to try out with the Lakers through his relationship, then Drake will really wake up laughing from his dreams.
People like him lack such opportunities, not everyone will be given preferential treatment when they come to the door, more often they will just be chased away like a dog in the province where the security guards mock them, and Drake is the latter.
Moreover, although his family is also very supportive of him, it is a pity that his family does not have the money to support his 'willfulness', and that self-recommendation has already spent all the family's savings, and he cannot have the money to travel all over the United States to pursue that illusory opportunity.
He doesn't have any record that he can do, even if he believes in his own strength, but he doesn't even have a chance to show, what can he do.
So when Lee wants to show that he can help him, anyone who organizes and facilitates this will be Drake's enemy.
Obviously, at this moment, Lucy has been blacklisted by Drake.
Drake, who originally had a good impression of this female reporter, now wants to directly plug her mouth with the cane in his hand. ()
