"I'm Luke."

"Boss, aren't you here yet?"

"What's wrong?"

"The press conference will start immediately."

"Come right here."

Luke said to Debbie on the phone, then hung up the phone and looked at Vince: "When you are following you at that time, pay attention to whether you are following you." ”

Vince was slightly stunned.

Luke's expression was serious, not joking.

Vince will.

Nod.

"Okay, I got it."

"Thank you."

Luke didn't say anything polite about the reward after the deed, got up, just said a simple thank you to Vince, and walked towards the car at the door.

Vince is a brother.

Half an hour later.

1100 Wilshire Avenue.

After parking his car in the underground garage, Luke took the elevator up to the first floor and went to the FBI's Foreign Press Liaison Office.

into the eyes.

The agents who went back and forth were already in full swing preparing for the press conference to be held at 11 o'clock in the morning.

Luke walked into the lounge behind the press conference and walked over to Earl, Jack and Debbie, who were standing with a tall blonde beauty.

The tall blonde beauty is called Fiona.

She is the FBI's press liaison for Los Angeles, where she is responsible for helping and maintaining the FBI's relations with major media outlets on the West Coast.

Before joining the FBI, Fiona was a well-known media reporter and was very popular.

The last time the news that Bill Kings insisted on going his own way and almost wiped out the Los Angeles branch action team was to rely on Fiona's connections, phone after phone call to major influential media, which did not make the West Coast media report this matter in a big way.

"Deputy Director Lu."

"Just call me Luke, you don't mind if I call you Fiona."

"Of course."

Fiona smiled slightly, "Luke, you seem to be late today. ”

Luke smiled and explained, "If I say that I know that I am going to be on stage today, I am a little nervous and have insomnia, do you believe it, Fiona?" ”

Fiona shook her head with a smile.

"I don't believe it."

"Well, the new home is some distance from the office, and you know how bad the traffic in Los Angeles is at nine o'clock in the morning."

"I believe it."

Fiona nodded with a serious expression: "I still remember that I needed to go to Washington last month, and I went out at six o'clock on the plane at nine o'clock in the evening, but because of the bad traffic, I was late." ”

Appropriate jokes and the same complaints can quickly bring people closer.

Fiona jokingly complained about the traffic situation in Los Angeles, and then looked at Luke: "I have already talked to several media outlets last night, and when Luke comes to power, they may ask you some questions that are not related to this case, you need to be mentally prepared." ”

As she spoke, Fiona took out a piece of paper with a few media messages written on it and handed it to Luke: "Look at it." ”

Rucker took it and looked at the question written on the paper.

The question above ......

Luke looked at Fiona with a strange expression: "Our Los Angeles is really an entertainment metropolis that is entertained to death." ”

The corners of Fiona's mouth outlined a smile of approval: "Of course, when it comes to Los Angeles, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Hollywood." ”

Let's put it this way.

The question on the paper cannot be said to have any connection with yesterday's Columbia House case, or it can be said to have no connection at all.

Take a look at what the nine or so questions ask above.

Luke was asked if it was true that he said yesterday that he had said it was love at first sight to Ms. Rachel Villelis.

There are also questions about Luke's current emotional state.

He also asked if Luke and Ms. Rachel Villelis would come together because of this case.

There are even more exaggerated.

Luke was a little speechless.

"Do you want to give answers to these questions?"

"No, I don't."

Fiona smiled and said, "It's just to prepare you mentally, I've already talked to most of the media." ”

Luke nodded.

After a while.

Fiona and Luke talked about it, and after the press conference later, they looked at the time on their watch.

It's 10:50.

Outside the lounge, there was also the noise of the media entering the lounge.

Fiona smiled.

"Alright, Luke, I'll go to the front first and say hello to the media friends who are entering."

"Okay."

Luke watched Fiona turn around, and after leaving the lounge, he looked at Earl on the side: "What about the director, haven't you come yet?" ”

Earl pointed to a small room with a closed door to the right of the foyer.

Luke looked in the direction of Earl's finger.

I happened to see Rebecca who came out of the room with a red hip skirt today.

Rebecca also saw Luke.

Ruddy with a smile.

"Deputy Director Lu, the director called you."

"Okay."

Luke nodded, pushed the door and walked into the small room, ignoring the undissipated aura of scarlet in the small room, and looked at Director Louis who was standing in the small window, with his hands behind his back and his back to him.

"Director." Luke closed the door and shouted.

Director Louis turned around, looked at Luke standing at the door, and pointed to the sofa next to him: "Luke, come, sit." ”

Lu Ke ignored the visible water stains on the sofa and said with a smile: "Director, I'll just stand!" ”

Director Louis was slightly stunned, then looked at the water stains on the sofa, laughed, and opened the topic.

"How's that, do you like the house?"

"I love it!"

Luke said, "I slept this morning, thank you, Director." ”

Director Louis waved his hand: "No need to thank you, I said, I like capable people, as long as you can do things well for me, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Luke's answer was concise and to the point.

"I am willing to die for the director!"

"Haha!"

Director Louis laughed again, handed Luke a glass of whiskey that had just been poured, and handed it to Luke: "Okay, I like Deputy Director Lu's straightforward personality, but the problem at home needs to be solved this month, otherwise, there will be trouble." ”

Luke took the wine glass and touched it with the wine glass in Director Louis's hand: "Understood, I will take care of it, thank you Director for your concern." ”

The two drank it all.

After knocking on the door outside, Rebecca pushed the door in and looked at Director Louis: "Director, the press conference has begun. ”

Director Louis nodded at Rebecca, and then looked at Luke: "You are my subordinate, I am your director, and I care about you, which is what I, as a director, should do." ”

Lu Ke's face was serious: "Thank you for your trust." ”

Director Louis said no more, patted Luke on the shoulder, followed Rebecca who was standing in the doorway, and walked out together.

Luke put the finished glass on his desk and walked out.

Not much.

Director Luis also took the stage of the press conference after Fiona, the press liaison, briefed the media who had come to the audience about yesterday's Columbia Building.

If yesterday was Ruke's highlight moment, then today's press conference was actually specially prepared for Director Louis.

And the West Coast media, which has always cooperated with the FBI and maintained a good relationship, also cooperated with Director Louis's performance.

Between the questions and answers, the nature of Director Louis as the California director of the FBI is perfectly demonstrated through dialogue.

But when it was Ruke's turn to come to power.

The style of painting is directly reported from a very serious case, and it directly turns 180 degrees and rushes away in the direction of entertainment to death.

"I'm a reporter for Columbia Entertainment, Marlene."

After being pointed by Fiona's finger, the blonde female reporter who quickly got up immediately asked behind Lu Ke, who was standing on the stage, in a suit and leather shoes, and who was always more handsome today than yesterday, and then asked: "Deputy Director Lu, the people are very curious, you said at the time, you fell in love with Ms. Rachel Villelis at first sight, is this true?" Or was it just used to confuse the bandit at the time? ”

Luke put his hands on the podium and replied with a smile: "Personally, I don't like to tell lies, so, yes, I was telling the truth at the time." ”

The blonde female reporter Ma Lin's eyes lit up.

But she's done with her questions.

But......

Next, a female reporter from the West Coast Daily helped Marlene ask a follow-up question.

"Deputy Director Lu, after your successful rescue of the hostages yesterday, the people on the Internet are very curious to know whether you and Ms. Rachel Villelis will have further development."

"Really?"

"We have made a statistic on the official website, as of 8 o'clock this morning, the number of people who are looking forward to seeing the follow-up development has exceeded one million."

"Wow!"

Luke on the stage exclaimed, "Are there so many?" ”

The female reporter of the West Coast Daily smiled: "So Deputy Director Lu, can you answer this question?" ”

Fiona gave Luke a look.

said that if Lu Ke was unwilling to answer, he could change the topic, and she asked a reporter again.

Luke looked at the female reporter of the West Coast Daily, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Emotional things are not one-sided giving, but need to go both ways, so I can't tell you the follow-up now, and now Rachel Villelis is still being treated in the hospital, however, I can tell you that I am currently single and have a good impression of Rachel Villelis, thank you." ”

The female reporter's eyes lit up, and she asked directly: "Deputy Director Lu, have you ever visited Ms. Rachel Villelis in the hospital?" ”

Luke smiled, "I promised Ms. Rachel Villelis, that when she was discharged from the hospital, I would pass." ”

The female reporter does not talk about martial arts, but wants to speak.

Fiona on the side directly interrupted at the same time, pulled the female reporter into her blacklist, and then pointed to another female reporter in the audience: "New York Daily." ”

The female reporter got up with a smile and looked at Lu Ke on the stage: "Hello, Deputy Director Lu, what do you think about some people saying that the superhero of the East Coast is Tony Iron Man Stark, and you are the superhero of the West Coast." ”

Luke: "......"
