Just look at the current buzz about Kidd the Thief, and you know that the value of this exclusive report in the media world is immeasurable.

Those reporters who didn't take the notice letter seriously at the beginning are now estimated to be repentant.

And Vicky Vale, who created all this herself, has also risen in the Gotham Communiqué.

The boss also specially tripled her bonus this month.

"Finally, put this picture on...... Perfect! ”

Vicky took a few clicks on her office computer, and tonight's work was coming to an end.

"Hehe, this manuscript will definitely win the front page tomorrow."

She thought confidently.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Knock knock~

"Please come in."

The office door was pushed open, and a somewhat thin man walked in.

The man had a camera around his neck and was supposed to be a photographer.

"Do you have anything to do with me, North?"

Vicky asked strangely as she looked at the man.

"Well, Miss Ville, you've been working continuously for a long time, and I think maybe you need ...... Have a cup of coffee? ”

North raised his right hand, and Vicky noticed that he was carrying a pot of coffee.

"This is what I just grinded, and it is guaranteed to taste better than the one sold in the café downstairs of the company."

North is a young photographer who joined the Gotham Gazette three years ago, and Vicky is the senior who was in charge of leading him in the first place, and the two often run news together.

However, the two don't communicate much in private, and they basically talk about business, probably because North is more shy.

Vicky didn't expect that the young man who was very shy in her impression would now take the initiative to make herself coffee and send it over.

It's a little bit of a perverse.

Vicky's eyes moved, North must be a little bit of something for me, right?

"Hmm...... North, you know I've got a date now, right? ”

She sat up suddenly, leaned back in her seat, and folded her hands around her chest.

Hearing this, Northton was stunned in place, and only after thinking about it did he realize it.

"No, no, Miss Weir, you misunderstood, I just see that you must be very tired from working for too long, and I just hope that you can rest more of this pot of coffee as a junior in the workplace."

Realizing this, North waved his hand again and again, trying to show that he didn't mean it that way, and his face turned red.

"You are my senior, you have guided and taken care of me a lot at work, I am very grateful to you, that's all, I don't have any thoughts that I shouldn't have!"

Flutter!

Vicky was amused by the scrambled North, and now this performance was quite in line with North's impression in her mind.

"North, you're saying this too seriously, even if you have an idea, it doesn't mean you're wrong, I mean I want you to know that I, Vicky Vale, am not a woman who likes to date both ends."

North nodded repeatedly, then cautiously asked, "What about this ......coffee?"

"Please put it on the table, I will taste your craft, thank you for your trouble."

Vicky smiled faintly.

North immediately walked in with a coffee pot, then went to the cabinet in the corner of the office and took out the standard glass, poured a cup, and placed it on the table with the coffee pot.

As he bent down to put down his coffee, North caught a casual glance at the press release on Vicky's computer screen.

The first thing that catches your eye is a very beautiful picture of a pebble-shaped pink diamond, about the size of a pigeon's egg.

Then there is the title of the article, "The world's most precious pink diamond will be auctioned in Gotham, and the financier behind it is suspected to be a penguin?" ”

As a media worker, North's curiosity was immediately piqued.

"This is the manuscript you've been working on for so long today? Can I take a look? ”

North made a request that didn't quite make a decision.

"If it's you, no problem, by the way, tell me how you feel after reading it, I need some 'reader feedback'."

Vicky was relieved of North and generously turned the screen to show him.

The content of the press release is similar to the headline, and it is related to an auction that will be organized by Gotham's high society shortly after.

The grand finale of the sale was a 70-carat pink diamond, which was carved and weighed at over 200 carats, the largest of any pink diamond ever found.

Pink diamonds are a rare type of diamonds, and such a large one is rare for hundreds of years, and it is definitely a sky-high price.

While the pink diamond is priceless, that alone isn't enough to be big news in Gotham.

You know, the public tends to have little interest in this level of rarity, and only the aristocracy and the rich care about such things.

However, regarding this seemingly ordinary auction, Cable reported that the seller behind the pink diamond was the Penguin!

Today, the company is bidding off a Gotham multinational shipping company that is doing a completely legal business and has very transparent accounts, not as if it is very close to the criminals.

It's just such a company that no matter how you look at it, there are rumors that the real owner of this company is the penguin Oswald Copote.

The results of the investigation into the company's business and accounts were all falsified by the Penguins bribing the relevant authorities.

Even this so-called world-rare super large pink diamond may have been forged with modern technology!

It is impossible to determine who exactly spread the rumors, and of course there is no evidence at all.

Well, this is Gotham, and there are many things that don't need evidence, and it's impossible to find evidence.

Vicky synthesized all the rumors she had gathered and finished the current press release based on a few of her own guesses.

Unlike some low-level media outlets, Vicky does not report such ethereal things as facts, but emphasizes anecdotes.

"Wonderful! It's really Miss Weir, who easily wrote a report that other media people couldn't write if they wanted to! ”

After reading it, North sighed, "If this article can't get to the front page, then the boss must have a bad head." ”

"It's not that good." Vicky chuckled.

"It's not early, I still have a little work to do, so I'll leave first."

After that, North spoke to Vicky a little more, and then got up to take his leave.

Looking at the back of North pushing open the door and leaving, Vicky suddenly felt a little thirsty.

This is also normal, after all, she has been perfecting the manuscript, she has not drunk much water, and she has talked a lot to North, it would be strange if she didn't feel thirsty.

Vicky picked up the cup of coffee that North had poured not long ago, and it was now just the right temperature for her mouth.

"Huh?"

When Vicky picked up the cup, a small object suddenly appeared from the bottom of the cup, appearing as a white ball of paper.

Frowning, Vicky put down her cup and opened the paper ball.

The moment the paper ball unfolded, Vicky's pupils instantly constricted.

I saw that it read:

"Dear Miss Weir,

I read your report about me, it's very well written, and I really appreciate that you were willing to come to see my debut show yesterday and took that perfect close-up for me, and to show my appreciation, I decided to give you a little surprise, but you won't see it until you've finished your coffee, so be sure to finish it.

Kidd the Strange Thief"
