Jin Xiaoling nodded and said, "You can explain it yourself in the interview later!"

"I'm afraid you'll cut me off. I'll only accept your interview. I won't accept anyone else's. And this is your only chance."

"Good!" It's worthy of being the first with full marks, and worthy of being the first in the city and the province, it's so awesome.

"Then come in!"

Zuo Hengzhouhua had already opened the door, put down his things, and tidied up the yard a little.

Jin Xiaoling invited her colleagues to join her.

After entering the courtyard, she introduced herself to Zhou Xiang, "My name is Jin Xiaoling, I'm a reporter. This is photographer Song Min, this is lighting engineer An Maogui, and this is sound engineer Xiao Shengbo."

Every time she introduced someone, Zhou Xiang nodded. He didn't expect that she was not the host. It was a pity for her appearance. Wait until she finished introducing.

Zhou thought: "Just in the yard!"

"good!"

The photographer began to look for the best shooting position, and the lighting technician pulled out a power strip from the house. Although the light outside was good, some lights were still needed to assist.

The sound engineer also began to prepare.

Soon, everything was ready and Jin Xiaoling and Zhou Xiang sat face to face.

Jin Xiaoling took out the manuscript and planned to interview according to the above questions.

Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, can I take a look at your manuscript?"

"sure."

Jin Xiaoling readily handed her the manuscript.

Zhou Xiang took it and saw that they were all normal student questions. He shook his head and said, "If you ask even one of the questions in your manuscript, all the following will be scrapped. Maybe you only found my address, or even the city and province ratios, but after seeing your manuscript, I know that you haven't found anything deeper.

I'll explain it briefly so you understand. I've been homeschooling since the second half of fourth grade. Do you think your manuscript is still useful?"

Jin Xiaoling's face flushed with shame when she heard this. "I'm sorry, you're right. I'm not well prepared. Please wait a moment. I'll list a few questions based on your situation, okay?"

Zhou Xiang nodded. This beautiful lady had a very good attitude and it would be fine if he gave her some time.

A few minutes later, Jin Xiaoling signaled her colleagues to start.

"I'm Jin Xiaoling, a reporter from the provincial television station. Today, I'm honored to interview Zhou Xiang, the student who achieved the highest score in the province in the primary school to junior high school entrance exam. Zhou Xiang, please say hello to everyone!"

"Hello everyone! I'm Zhou Xiang."

"Just now, when you said that I was the first person to interview you and would be the only one to interview you, I felt a sense of pride and honor. Haha."

Zhou Xiang didn't expect her second sentence, so he expressed his request, and his liking for her increased.

"Yes, you are indeed the first person to interview me since my graduation exams. I will no longer accept interviews from other TV stations. Your interview has become exclusive, and you should be proud."

Jin Xiaoling's smile widened upon hearing this. "So, our classmate Zhou Xiang is quite humorous. Okay, let's begin our interview. I heard you've been homeschooling since the second half of fourth grade. Why? And why did the school agree to this?"

"This question might have been somewhat inspiring in the past, but I'm not sure if it still has the same effect now. But I have to be honest. My father gets up at three o'clock every day... He often brings his work frustrations to the family. I'm not trying to discredit him; it's the truth. But he's changed now and has become a qualified father.

My mother is a keeper in a fertilizer warehouse. Whenever topdressing is needed for spring plowing and summer planting, she is so busy that she doesn't even have time for lunch. She only comes home with a hoarse voice when it is completely dark.

This is because she needs to loudly maintain order and call out how many kilograms and bags of fertilizer someone in a certain village has.

The housework at home often falls on my shoulders, and studying at school takes up too much of my time. I am busy on both ends and cannot keep up with my studies, so I plan to study on my own.

Principal Li of the town primary school is very approachable and open to new things. He agreed only after hearing that I promised to be in the top three in every exam in the future. He even tested me on the spot, and since my grades were pretty good, he agreed.

Jin Xiaoling gently pressed the corner of her eye, sniffed, and asked, "After taking first place in both the city and provincial competitions, did you ever feel proud and complacent?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head. "No! There are always people who are better than you. You just said that I'm number one in the province, which means there are other people who got full marks in the national entrance exam. What do I have to be proud of?"

"What do you mean by the first sentence at the beginning of the first question? Are you asking if your family conditions have improved?"

"Yes, this is a business trick I discovered. I'll need it in the future. I'm sorry if it's inconvenient to tell you all about it."

Jin Xiaoling nodded. "Then your family's financial situation improved. Why didn't you skip a grade? Why didn't you go back to school?"

"No! Just because conditions have improved doesn't mean they're stable. Only now is stability possible. This involves some privacy, so I don't want to talk about it."

"Then the last question is, what do you do if you encounter problems in your self-study?"

"At first, the second semester of fourth grade was okay, but later it became more difficult. However, I had a childhood friend who was five years older than me and he tutored me. Later, I also contacted Principal Li, who asked teachers from the town middle school to tutor me. I am very grateful to Principal Li and Mr. Wang Yeqin from the town middle school. As for my childhood friend, due to his sensitive status, it is not appropriate to disclose his name."

"Okay, the interview is over. Thank you, Zhou Xiang. Goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Jin Xiaoling and her colleagues were packing up their things when a few people walked in from outside.

"Excuse me, is it..." The man's voice stopped abruptly when he saw Jin Xiaoling.

"Jin Xiaoling! It's you again!"

"Yeah! It's me again. It's the last three days until students report. Today happens to be the first day of the deadline, and I didn't cross the line."

Deng Hongbin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do to her because she really didn't break the rules.

Then he turned to Zhou Xiang and said, "You must be Zhou Xiang, right? I work at the city TV station..."

Zhou Xiang didn't wait for him to finish and waved his hand, saying, "I'm sorry, you're late. I accepted an interview with the provincial TV station. I think I'm qualified to ask for an exclusive. What do you think?"

Deng Hongbin felt that everything was going wrong today. Ever since he decided to interview Zhou, he had been bullied everywhere. After he joined the TV station as a reporter, he was warmly welcomed wherever he went to interview.

It seems that my horoscope is not compatible with Zhou Xiang!

He took a deep breath and steadied his tone, "Yes, but you are from Zhucheng City!"

"I didn't feel that the people of Zhucheng were proud of me because I was the best in the province! Instead, the people of the provincial capital showed a very welcoming attitude towards me. Perhaps the provincial middle school would be very welcoming to me!"

Jin Xiaoling listened to every word of this and immediately responded, "Yes, if you want, you can choose any middle school in the provincial capital. I can guarantee it."
