Chapter 46: Fiction 1
Zhu Zixin's book "Wolf Totem" first set off a high tide of "wolf culture", and then was accused by countless experts and scholars of distorting facts and falsifying history, thus falling into a crisis of trust. He was also forced to hold a press conference to explain the matter.
Although this is a literary thing, it is not only the literary world that is interested in it. Zhu Ziqing has multiple identities, such as student, writer, businessman, songwriter, screenwriter, etc. Therefore, in addition to literary media, financial media, entertainment media, and many comprehensive news media also sent reporters to participate in this press conference.
"We're in the literary world, right? What are the financial media doing here? Zhu Ziqing hid in the lounge and said helplessly to Tao Yingshuang.
"No way, who made you the boss of Skynet. It would be strange if they didn't come to join in the fun. Tao Yingshuang said as a matter of course. The media is all about hot spots, no matter what type it is.
In the past, Zhu Ziqing's hot spot was not hot enough, so most of the media who paid attention to him were literary and entertainment media. Since his identity as the boss of Skynet was revealed, he has been hot, and his every move has been followed by the media, regardless of type.
"There are a lot of people who are popular, you have to be sneaky in everything, and it's useless to even have a little privacy. I really miss the quiet life I used to have. Zhu Ziqing looked up to the sky and sighed.
"I'll give you zero points for pretending." Tao Yingshuang raised his middle finger.
"Hehe......" Zhu Ziqing was not angry, but looked complacent.
"You're not nervous about facing such a battle now, are you?" Tao Yingshuang didn't bother to despise him, and asked instead.
"To be honest, it's a little bit, but it's much better than the first time. At the last Skynet press conference, I was almost blinded by the flash light as soon as I entered the venue. I was so scared that my legs went limp. Thinking of that press conference, Zhu Ziqing still has lingering palpitations.
"Haha...... You're not bad, I have a friend who experienced this kind of battle for the first time and was directly knocked down by a flashing light. The man lost it, and he will never be able to pick it up for the rest of his life. ”
"How did you feel the first time you experienced this kind of battle? Won't it be nervous? ”
"All the same, all nervous. But not as exaggerated as you were last time......"
After a little chat, someone came over to inform them that it was time for the press conference and that they were ready to enter. The two got up and walked to the rostrum together and sat down.
The next thing is the old one, the manager of the personnel department of Silian Publishing House made a guest host, briefly said a few opening words, and then handed the microphone to Tao Yingshuang.
Tao Yingshuang said a lot, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: welcome everyone. The rest is all useless nonsense. Zhu Ziqing had to sigh, he really deserved to be the son of an official eunuch, and the level of this nonsense was high.
These are all well-negotiated countermeasures. There is also a time limit for press conferences, and they have the right to force them to end when the time is up. Tao Yingshuang will squeeze in a little more time by talking a little more nonsense, and the reporters will be able to ask fewer questions.
Journalists may not know their strategy, but they have never experienced any of the situations they have been interviewing regularly. They don't know how much they have seen than Tao Yingshuang can say. So no one gets bored, and no one dozes off.
No matter how much Tao Yingshuang says, he will eventually finish speaking. The microphone quickly reached Zhu Ziqing's hand. The reporters were in high spirits, and the main protagonist finally appeared.
"Huh...... Hello everyone. Zhu Ziqing greeted the reporters very warmly, and he didn't see it at all: "I took a look on the rostrum just now, and there are many familiar faces among you." It's not the first time you've been dealing with each other. We all know each other, and this press conference will definitely go well. ”
"Haha......" burst of laughter from the audience.
"Everyone knows my personality and never talks superfluous nonsense." Speaking of this, he deliberately turned his head to look at Tao Yingshuang.
His actions caused a burst of laughter again, and Tao Yingshuang's face turned black at once. Boy, dare to hack me, wait.
Zhu Ziqing ignored his angry gaze and continued, "So, let's go straight to the topic. ”
No one spoke to the reporters, all waiting for his next step. Conventionally, this should be the time for advertising. I don't know what he's going to advertise this time.
"I'm not advertising this time." Zhu Ziqing seemed to guess what everyone was thinking: "Let me ask a question first." Did anyone bring the book "Wolf Totem" here? ”
"Huh......" More than a dozen people in the audience raised their hands, which surprised Zhu Ziqing, but he didn't expect someone to really bring books. Originally, they had arranged a trust, and when he asked a question, the trustee would raise his hand. Now it seems that the trust is useless.
"I didn't expect so many media friends to carry this book, and I was very happy. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. I'm glad I can take this book with me. So I decided that these dozen friends would be the first to ask questions. Zhu Ziqing made this decision very undisciplinedly.
Many reporters in the audience also looked at each other, but they didn't expect Zhu Ziqing to be able to do such a bad thing. But they don't have a good idea of what he decides...... The reason is really good.
Those who raised their hands were pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect to have such benefits with a book. It's not like giving them one more chance to ask questions, but it's important to prioritize them.
Time is limited, and many of the media outlets probably don't have the opportunity to ask questions. Even if there is an opportunity to ask questions, it is not good to be too far behind. Sensitive questions were all asked by the people in front, and they didn't have to ask.
Immediately, staff members came out to mark the people who raised their hands. After they signaled that they had memorized, Zhu Ziqing continued:
"Please this beautiful lady...... Yes, that's you. Can you please do me a favor? ”
"It's an honor." The beautiful female reporter stood up with joy.
"Please turn to the title page of the book "Wolf Totem", can you read a sentence in it for me?"
As soon as Zhu Ziqing's words fell, the beautiful reporter quickly opened the cover. She was joined by a dozen other journalists with books.
They turned to the title page and saw a line of small writing on the blank paper. It wasn't for Zhu Ziqing to remind them, they really didn't notice this line of words. When they saw the content of this line, they were all stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Ziqing with surprised eyes.
The beautiful reporter was no exception, in addition to surprise, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes. Could it be that he had anticipated this day and prepared in advance?
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the boss of Skynet, and this IQ is really far beyond ordinary people.
The reporters who didn't have a book knew as soon as they saw that something big must have happened. They all looked at the beautiful reporter anxiously, waiting for her to reveal the answer. What exactly is this sentence.
"Beautiful lady, you see that everyone is in a hurry, you read it. Don't whet people's appetites. Zhu Ziqing said with a smile.
The beautiful reporter picked up the book and glanced at it again, and then read it word by word: "This story is pure fiction, and any similarities are purely coincidental." (To be continued.) )
PS: I ran to the interview today, and I didn't have time to code words. I started writing after dinner in the evening, and I have only written more than 2,000 words until now. I'm really sleepy, and I have to get up early tomorrow morning to continue the interview. So I can't stay up late to write. Today there is only one chapter of two thousand words, sorry.
