Chapter 3897: Chapter 3885: Let Me Show You a Video
"Hello, you must be the journalists from ’Nearby News’."
Approaching Lin Yi, Wang Duanlong reached out his hand and warmly shook it.
"Yes, these are my two colleagues, Dong Xiao and Jing Pengcheng."
"Hello, hello."
Wang Duanlong politely shook their hands as well.
But the two were still puzzled, and after shaking hands, they hadn’t figured out what was going on.
The president of the Northern Commerce, personally coming out to shake their hand?
"Thank you for planning a visit for the Northern Commerce’s trip to Zhong Hai. This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go inside to chat."
"Sure, sure, thank you, President Wang," Lin Jiang said with a smile.
"It’s us who should be thanking you, don’t be too polite."
"We’ll prepare first, then proceed with the interview."
Though still unsure of the situation, Dong Xiao had calmed down.
No matter what, since the opportunity was given, it must be utilized well, it truly felt like a windfall.
This scene, however, made Ma Anchen uneasy.
"President Wang, wasn’t it agreed that only one media outlet would be allowed in for the interview?"
Wang Duanlong glanced at Ma Anchen, sized him up, and then looked at his secretary.
"Who is this person?"
"They are journalists from ’Morning News,’ they were originally intended to conduct the interview."
"Never heard of this program, better not let them in."
With that, Wang Duanlong focused back on Lin Yi and the others, and made a gesture to invite them inside.
"Folks, let’s prepare inside. The crowd here is mixed, no need to stay."
"But your interview time is limited, if we prepare now, it will waste a lot of time, and we don’t want to delay your dinner and talks with the leaders."
"Who said the interview time is limited?"
"This..."
Dong Xiao didn’t answer directly but looked at the woman.
The female secretary whispered a few words to Wang Duanlong, who then laughed.
"For ordinary media, we certainly have to limit time, as we don’t want to be disturbed. But you are different. How you want to conduct the interview is up to you, no time limit, come in with me."
Hearing this, Dong Xiao was even more surprised.
Never expected such treatment, especially when Ma Anchen only managed to secure a ten-minute slot.
"Thank you, President Wang."
The group headed towards the elevator, with Dong Xiao chatting with Wang Duanlong, while Tian Yan stood beside Lin Yi, whispering:
"Director Lin, is this arrangement okay?"
"No problem."
Seeing the group leave by elevator, Ma Anchen and the program crew stood in place.
The sudden turn of events felt surreal to them.
Why did things turn out like this for no apparent reason?
"Brother Chen, what do we do now? We were supposed to be the chosen ones, how did this happen?"
Zhou Qian, clueless, said with a face full of frustration.
"It must be Feng Chengrong’s doing!"
Ma Anchen clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.
First, he took away my wife’s interview opportunity, now mine, too. This is intolerable!
"Come on, let’s go back! I must get an explanation from him!"
...
The group took the elevator to the second-floor venue.
The banquet hall was large and filled with many people.
Apart from members of the Northern United Chamber of Commerce, there were also many political leaders, chatting and laughing about their own concerns, the overall dining atmosphere was very relaxed.
Dong Xiao and Jing Pengcheng were preparing equipment, Lin Yi and Tian Yan stood to the side, chatting quietly.
"Did these people mention why they’re here?"
"Mainly seeking collaboration," Tian Yan said:
"The chip market is booming, and some enterprises from the north are looking to invest in this area, hence they came as a group."
"This matter is indeed worth discussing, the colleges and tech resources over there are strong, the only drawback is the lack of a dense industrial cluster."
"So this is also one of the main topics of this meeting."
Tian Yan said:
"The window with the Ruxians is gradually opening, there will certainly be new opportunities and developments, we must seize the chance, a step behind and we could be left behind."
"Hmm, I’ll make some time to hold a meeting when I return, you guys prepare next year’s plan."
"Understood, Director Lin."
"Alright, go handle your business, talk to these folks, see if you can gather any insights."
"But some people know you’re here, they’re quite eager to chat with you," Tian Yan said with a smile.
"We’ll see, chatting here wouldn’t be suitable anyway," Lin Yi said nonchalantly, "If you can handle it, you do it."
"Understood."
Tian Yan left, Lin Yi returned to Dong Xiao’s side.
"Lin Yi, Wang Duanlong’s willingness to let us interview, wasn’t arranged by you, right?"
"I don’t have such influence, it was a favor from a friend."
Dong Xiao’s gaze fell on Tian Yan.
"Your friend wouldn’t happen to be her, right? Looks like she’s here for the banquet."
"Exactly, it’s her," Lin Yi said:
"Before, the audio variety we did was funded by her, but she’s not my direct friend, more like a friend of a friend."
"You’re quite something, having such a network,"
Dong Xiao looked at Lin Yi with satisfaction, "Keep yourself clean and don’t let Zhou Li snag you, she’s not worthy of you, haha."
"Haha, if Sister Li hears this, she’ll surely come after you."
"I’m not afraid of her, alright, I’m going to the interview, watch my cues,"
"No problem."
In comparison, Dong Xiao had more experience, naturally, the interview responsibility fell on her, Lin Yi only needed to assist.
But Lin Yi wasn’t in the mood to work, he found a corner to grab some food to fill his stomach.
At this moment, He Yuanyuan sneaked over.
"You, the journalist, sure have some pull, you’re here already."
"I can’t help it, it’s a task assigned by the station."
"It seems your show is quite high-end."
"It’s just this one time, usually we cover trivial matters near the public, helping them solve problems, it’s more of a livelihood news program."
"I know the kind of program you’re talking about but are you up to the standard? If you encounter something insolvable, do you rely on fists and money power?"
"Hey, do I look as useless as you?"
Suddenly, Lin Yi’s eyes flashed, as if he thought of something?
"By the way, do you like instant noodles with pickled vegetable flavor?"
"How do you know? I just had them last night," He Yuanyuan said, confused,
"Why are you asking this out of the blue?"
