Xie Lao sat in the lounge backstage, holding a few speeches in his hands, and the ashtray at hand was stuffed with cigarette butts.

At this moment, no matter how luxurious and extravagant the decoration of the lounge is, no matter how wide and comfortable the leather sofa under his buttocks is, it can't make his frowning brow stretch a bit.

As the leader, as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who is wholeheartedly dedicated to the country, Xie Lao's mind is still stuck in the computing power test of 'Tianhe-1'.

For the launch of 'Tianhe-1', he took the entire team of nearly 100 people to be busy in the supercomputing center for a year and a half, and everyone gave up all their vacations and never left the center even for the Chinese New Year.

And now, a dispensable press conference, rounds of lengthy and boring interviews, laymen who don't understand supercomputing at all, reporters who are completely reading scripts and walking in the form, have to spare themselves an entire afternoon to deal with it.

If it weren't for the repeated greetings from above, saying that this press conference would not only lift the spirit of all the people, but also prove to the world that Huaguo's supercomputer has completely stood at the top of the world, he would not be willing to take a step out of the supercomputing center.

Even, Xie Lao once planned to arrange for a person to temporarily hang a title and come over to read the data according to the script, and then he could leave the field directly.

"Old Xie, I will trouble you to cooperate with the work as much as possible later," Yu Guoben cautiously pushed open the door of the heavy lounge and walked in, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, as the main person in charge of this press conference, he was also Alexander in his heart.

Especially after this Taishan Beidou in the supercomputing world was taken to the lounge by a special car, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he didn't even have a smile, so Yu Guoben was very cautious in everything he said and did, for fear that he would offend this ancestor by accident.

Xie Lao glanced at Yu Guoben coldly, then pointed to the watch on his wrist and said, "Xiao Yu, hurry up, if it's about the same, start quickly, the supercomputing center is still waiting for me to go back." ”

"Okay, there are still ten minutes, and all the relevant personnel will be there, let's start immediately, start immediately," Yu Guoben nodded and responded, no way, he really can't afford to offend this ancestor.

"You also talk to those reporters, try to ask some meaningful questions, or you can do a group interview, and you can save some time," Xie Lao lit another cigarette, this is a habit he has developed after staying up late for many years, his wife has said it for decades, but he just doesn't change, and the cigarettes he smokes are very cheap, only five yuan a pack. He always said that this kind of cigarette tastes rushing, and smoking one cigarette is worth two or three of those expensive cigarettes.

"This... I'm afraid this is not good," Yu Guoben said in embarrassment.

Not to mention those irrelevant municipal TV stations, let's just say that the reporters from the satellite TV stations in various provinces, they take this news very seriously, if they really have a group interview, Xie Lao will pat his ass and leave, but Yu Guo will be difficult to be a person.

"What's so bad? Looking at the manuscript you have put together, do I need to repeat these questions over and over again? Xie Lao patted the manuscript in his hand vigorously, his eyes widened.

"Old Xie, this involves the process of the press conference, if you have to report to the top, it will definitely be too late," Yu Guoben rolled his eyes, and thought of such an excuse, after all, this press conference was attended by Xie Lao, so it must be true.

Sure enough, when Xie Lao heard Yu Guoben say this, he could only smoke helplessly, but the manuscript in his hand made him more and more awkward the more he read it, it said that a round of interviews would take five minutes, so calculated, if ten rounds are fifty minutes, with so much time, he may be able to solve a technical problem when he uses it in the supercomputing center.

After smoking several cigarettes in a row, Xie Lao suddenly raised his head and said to Yu Guoben, "Then let them draw lots, three places, whoever draws, whoever is drawn, will have the opportunity to interview alone, and the rest will all go through the group interview." ”

For fear that Yu Guoben would prevaricate himself, Xie Lao even took out an old-fashioned mobile phone and waved it at Yu Guoben, "If you feel embarrassed, I'll call this number." ”

Seeing Xie Lao's tough posture, Yu Guoben didn't say anything more, taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the start, it was better to go back to the scene and organize the group of reporters to draw lots first.

As for the question of whether to offend people, it is because the individual physique is different, and the luck is too poor, Yu Guo couldn't help but think of it.

Yu Guoben quickly returned to the stage, took the host's microphone and loudly announced the adjustment, and in the process of announcing, every sentence did not leave Xie Lao's research work task is very heavy, Xie Lao's time is very tight, etc., so that the reporters in the audience clearly and secretly understand that it is Xie Lao's request, and it has nothing to do with him Yu Guoben.

After Yu Guoben finished speaking, the host took a stack of A4 paper and began to make paper lumps for drawing lots, and the rest of the people were very angry, but Lin Xiao secretly laughed.

Although the system gave him a seemingly strong guarantee, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had never done a hosting job, a first-class and second-class certificate, and it was also because of the language environment of the university that he had a standard Mandarin.

If the audience selects the most unconfident person, Lin Xiao is far ahead.

Here Lin Xiao was still deserting, and Li Haibin had already squeezed to the front of the emcee table with the editors of other stations, looking at the pile of paper mounds with the names of provincial satellite TV stations.

Yu Guoben also did not participate in the process of drawing lots, and the provincial offended people, so he signaled the host to hold this temporary lot.

The host was also very simple, grabbed the paper lump on the emcee table in his hand, put his hands together, raised it high, and shook it several times before putting his hand down.

Everyone is paying attention to this process, and Lin Xiao is no exception, he silently prayed in his heart not to draw to Shonan Province.

The host spread the paper lump in his hand that was completely out of order directly on the master of ceremonies, and he didn't dare to play any suspense, so he randomly picked out three of them.

"The first channel to interview alone is, Ludong Provincial Station."

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth raised slightly.

"The second channel for a separate interview is, Gannan Provincial Station."

Lin Xiao's fist on his knee clenched slightly.

"The last channel for a separate interview is, Shonan Provincial Station."

As the host announced the results of the lot, and showed the three folded notes to everyone, Li Haibin jumped up directly on the spot as if he had won the lottery, and then clenched his right fist hard and waved it violently on the top of his head.

After landing, he ran directly towards Lin Xiao, he didn't even think about sitting down, he bent down and said, "Xiaolin, we have drawn an interview place!" It's up to you! ”

"Well... Okay", Lin Xiao lowered his head, looked at the manuscript in his hand bitterly, and couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, this kind of luck, I really don't know if Li Haibin is lucky, or the system is too powerful.

"Lao Li, can we have a discussion?"

Suddenly, a voice interjected again, and Lin Xiao looked up to see that it was the editor who had kindly persuaded Li Haibin before.

"What discussion? If you say that you want me to give you the quota, don't even think about it," Li Haibin replied stiffly as he looked at his peers walking along the aisle towards him.

Lin Xiao turned his gaze to another man in a white shirt behind him. This man is the same as Lin Xiao, he has a spirited and capable head, his facial features are very straight, and his body is also very strong, except for being a little shorter, the whole person is completely flat.

Walking up to him, the editor whispered: "Look, you don't have a reporter on camera, I don't have a chance to interview, let's cooperate, I ask my reporter to help you interview your question, and then it is also mixed with our own questions, after the interview, you use your question to report, I use mine to report, do not overlap with each other." ”

"At most, when you edit and produce, don't you just use the footage of my reporter?" After saying that, the editor also added.

If it was usual, Li Haibin would really agree, after all, a familiar hand and a rookie without any experience, there is no reason why he should not agree to cooperate. But this time, Li Haibin simply refused, he didn't know if it was the cold words of those people before who stimulated him, or if he felt that Lin Xiao could handle it.

With Li Haibin refusing without hesitation, the editor could only take his on-camera reporter back to his seat, and Lin Xiao also resigned himself to looking at the manuscript in his hand again.

Almost when Li Haibin had just sat down and wanted to boost Lin Xiao's morale, the host picked up the microphone again and announced that the press conference had begun to count down to ten seconds.

One by one, the relevant leaders began to sit down, and Lin Xiao felt that he was getting more and more nervous, and his palms were about to sweat.

The process of the whole press conference is actually very simple, the first link is that each leader speaks in order, then the project leader Academician Xie makes a report, and finally the interview session, but now it has been changed to a group interview and the last three individual interviews.

During the nearly hour-long speech and reporting session, Lin Xiao only felt as if it had passed in the blink of an eye, and it was not until Li Haibin joined the ranks of group interviews with a camera that he woke up suddenly, and the last solo interview was coming soon.

Until now, he can only keep praying that the temporary experience card given by this system is really so magical.

The separate interview area has been set up before, a truss-edged thematic background wall stands alone in another room, and a gray velvet carpet is spread on the floor in front of the truss, which is all the layout of the entire interview area.

Although there was no opportunity for individual interviews, other municipal and provincial channels did not delay at all to join in the fun, and they also set up equipment and prepared to capture some materials at any time and use them in post-editing.

Waiting for Academician Xie to stand firm in front of the background wall, the reporter of Ludong Satellite TV directly grabbed the microphone and walked up, after a brief self-introduction, with the signal given by the cameraman, the reporter of Ludong began the interview with familiarity.
