1032 Scoop

Facts have proved that Lin Youlun was very prescient, and as soon as they left on the front foot, a large number of reporters rushed to the Mae Bin Hotel, including Xu Yancheng, a reporter from Ming Pao.

Most of the reporters from Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places were still on their way to Chiang Mai at this time, and Xu Yancheng was able to arrive so early, mainly because of coincidence.

Xu Yancheng, a newlywed Yan'er, asked the newspaper for half a month off to take his wife to Thailand for her honeymoon, and Chiang Mai happened to be the last stop of their journey.

Out of professional habits, Xu Yancheng has always kept in touch with the newspaper, and then at about three o'clock this morning, he was woken up by the phone call of the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and this time he learned the news that Teresa Teng died after ineffective rescue.

Regarding Teresa Teng's death, the Hong Kong media is divided into two factions, one group believes that this kind of thing is unlikely to be a joke on the Thai side and should be reported immediately in order to seize time, while the other group is cautious and believes that it should be confirmed first and then reported.

"Ming Pao" belongs to the latter, so the deputy editor-in-chief's phone call called Xu Yancheng.

When he learned of Teresa Teng's death, Xu Yancheng first felt incredulous, and after calming down and digesting the news, he realized that this was a great opportunity to make a name for himself in the newspaper industry.

The response of the Hong Kong media is very fast, and it will take at least half a day to get to Chiang Mai, and if he can investigate the cause and effect of the whole incident before then, it will definitely be a great achievement.

Xu Yancheng rushed to the Lamb Hospital, which was responsible for rescuing Teresa Teng, in the middle of the night, and kept watch until dawn without getting more useful information, and then he inquired about the address of the hotel where Teresa Teng lived when she was ill, and rushed over to see if there could be more discoveries. But when he got here, he found out. There are already a lot of local Thai media reporters who have rushed ahead of him.

I feel like I might not get much out of this trip. Xu Yancheng found a phone booth on the side and called his wife, who was staying in the hotel room, to ask if there was any new information from Hong Kong during the time he was away.

"I was about to find a way to contact you, just now, Mr. Dong, the editor-in-chief of your newspaper, called ......."

Before the wife on the other end of the phone finished speaking, she was interrupted excitedly by Xu Yancheng.

"Are you sure it's Dong Lao calling in person?"

Xu Yancheng's wife was a little dissatisfied with her husband's suspicion of herself, and naturally there was a little emotion in her words: "The person who called claimed to be Dong Qianli. If I'm not mistaken, in addition to the president Lin who doesn't take care of things, your "Ming Pao" group should be the one who speaks the most weighty, right? ”

Lin Youlun usually seems to rarely interfere in the internal affairs of the "Ming Pao Group", so he gives the outside world the impression that he is not very in charge, but only those who know a little bit about the inside story will not see it this way.

The amount of assets of the "Ming Pao" Group in Lin Youlun's many industries is not the largest, and the profitability is not the highest, but it is definitely the piece he values the most.

In the context of Hong Kong's openness to speech, having an influential newspaper like Ming Pao can guide public opinion in Hong Kong to a certain extent, a role that no other industry under Lin Youlun's name has. TVB, which monopolizes more than 70 percent of Hong Kong's television market, also does not have such a function.

"Who said that Mr. Lin doesn't care, don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Yancheng immediately corrected his wife's statement. Being in "Ming Pao", he knows very well that behind many important news topics in "Ming Pao" over the years, almost Lin Youlun's personal will can be seen.

"Okay, I won't fight with you about this...... After Mr. Dong asked me to contact you, I immediately gave him a call. ”

"Okay, then I'll call him, hang up first!"

Xu Yancheng hung up the microphone and picked it up again, and dialed the phone number provided by his wife.

Because it was a cross-border long-distance journey, the transfer time was a bit long, and Xu Yancheng waited for about three minutes before the phone was connected.

"Mr. Dong, I'm Xu Yancheng......"

"It's Yancheng, I'm looking for you, I just called the hotel where you lived, and your wife said that you went out for an interview...... How's that, what's the catch? ”

"The situation here is very chaotic, both Lamb Hospital and Mae Bin Hotel have firmly denied Teresa Teng's death, but according to reliable sources within the hospital, there was indeed a woman surnamed Deng who died in the hospital yesterday evening, and so far, the identity of the deceased has not been confirmed."

Xu Yancheng talked about the situation here in Chiang Mai in general, thinking that Dong Qianli would feel a little disappointed, but he didn't expect that there was just a faint oh, and he didn't seem to care about it.

"It's really hard for you to run to the squatting point for an interview in the middle of the night!" Dong Qianli encouraged Xu Yancheng twice, but then asked where Xu Yancheng was now.

Xu Yancheng said that he was staying at the Mae Bin Hotel where Teresa Teng was staying before her illness, and he thought that Dong Qianli would let him continue to wait for news here, but to his surprise, Dong Qianli actually asked him to put down everything he was doing and immediately rushed to another hotel in Chiang Mai, saying that he was going to meet someone.

Hearing such an arrangement, Xu Yancheng's first thought in his heart was that the newspaper was going to send other people over to report on this matter, but Dong Qianli's next words completely relieved him.

"Regarding Teresa Teng's death, the newspaper now has an exclusive clue, anyway, you hurry up and pass, and you will understand everything when you see that person."

Dong Qianli didn't deliberately want to sell Guan Zi on the phone, but was worried that there were other people next to Xu Yancheng, and this matter was specially ordered to be kept secret, and the fewer people who knew the Tao, the better, so he deliberately concealed part of the truth from Xu Yancheng.

Xu Yancheng didn't think much about it, and immediately rushed to the hotel according to Dong Qianli's instructions, and then in a suite of the hotel, he met the so-called insider.

"Mr. Lin, this is ......"

Xu Yancheng looked at Lin Youlun who was sitting on the sofa with his legs on his legs in surprise, and he almost wondered if he was dazzled.

Lin Youlun smiled and raised his hand, motioning for Xu Yancheng to sit down and speak.

In front of Lin Youlun, Xu Yancheng was somewhat restrained, and after sitting down, only the lower half of his buttocks fell on the sofa, his waist was straight, and his expression was very focused.

"Zhilu said, did I come to you for something?"

Xu Yancheng hesitated for a moment, but nodded after the most stubbornness.

The moment he saw Lin Youlun, Xu Yancheng vaguely thought of a possibility, and Lin Youlun's current words confirmed this more and more.

"Can I trust you, then?" Lin Youlun followed and asked again.

If the previous conversation still seemed very casual, then after this sentence, Xu Yancheng obviously felt a kind of pressure from Lin Youlun's scrutinizing gaze.

After taking a deep breath, Xu Yancheng nodded affirmatively again.

"All the news about Teresa Teng's death is fake."

Xu Yancheng was slightly stunned, he was not surprised to learn the news from Lin Youlun's mouth, what really surprised him was the very positive tone when Lin Youlun said this.

Seeing the doubts in Xu Yancheng's heart, Lin Youlun added another sentence: "I was in Lanmu Hospital last night. ”

It took five or six minutes for Xu Yancheng to completely digest this information, because there were too many questions in his heart, and for a while, he didn't know where to start.

"You should know that the crew of "The Hangover 2" is filming in Thailand during this time, and the crew is on vacation recently, so I came to Chiang Mai to rest for two days, coincidentally, Miss Deng and I stayed in the same hotel, and we also met, at that time, she had already agreed to be a guest performer at the opening ceremony of this year's Hong Kong International Film Festival, but I didn't expect her to have an accident just one day later."

Of course, Lin Youlun's words were reserved, but for Xu Yancheng, this was enough.

"When I came back from an outing last night, the hotel hurriedly found me and told me about Miss Deng's illness. Because Miss Deng's boyfriend was not by her side at that time, I asked the hotel to send Miss Deng to the hospital for first aid, and then I followed me to the hospital together, until the doctor in charge of the rescue told me that Miss Deng was out of danger, and then I left the hospital, and now the media believes that the evidence of Miss Deng's death is actually a misunderstanding, because there was indeed a patient who died last night, and the time was shortly after Miss Deng was sent to the emergency room. When the doctor came out to announce the result to the patient's family, we were also taken aback, only to find out later that the pronunciation of the name was relatively close. ”

Hearing Lin Youlun say what happened to the whole thing, Xu Yancheng was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

There are still such coincidental things in the world, if it weren't for all this coming from Lin Youlun's mouth, Xu Yancheng would really be hard to believe.

Of course, the most important thing now is not to gloat at other media to make a fool of themselves, but to make the truth of the matter known as soon as possible, and not to let the impact of this matter further expand."

As soon as Lin Youlun said this, Xu Yancheng immediately nodded solemnly.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will send the press as soon as I go back, and I should be able to catch up with tomorrow morning's newspaper when I send it back."

"Don't wait until tomorrow, today's issue of "Ming Pao" was postponed by Dong Lao to the evening, and the front page is waiting for your report, and the time is not loose."

"Ming Pao" has been published for so many years, and there are only a handful of practices to postpone the publication of the newspaper for the sake of a major news, and to be able to enjoy such special treatment, Xu Yancheng can't help but be excited, but also feel a lot of pressure.

"When I rushed back to press immediately, I would never delay the publication of today's newspaper."

Saying that, Xu Yancheng stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Youlun stopped Xu Yancheng and glanced at him meaningfully.

"I don't want anything about me in this story, you know what I mean?" (To be continued......)
