Chapter 303 Interview in Progress

Wu Erbai on the other end of the phone found that the call was connected. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wu Xie acting coquettishly to him and suddenly stopped.

I put the phone in front of me and looked at it again. It was indeed Wuxie's call...

The sticky tone made the hairs on his back stand on end, and he almost thought Wuxie was possessed by a ghost.

"The editor who's interviewing you is almost here, wait a moment, I'll accompany you."

Wu Erbai was not only worried that Wuxie was young and might show weakness during the interview, thus bringing shame to their Wujia family.

I was also worried that Wuxie would be tricked into saying something he shouldn't.

After all, he still cared a lot about his eldest nephew. Although he had not read the book written by Wuxie, he had heard others tell him about the general content.

This is definitely a tomb-raiding story in disguise. Although it is wrapped in the guise of fantasy, you can see its essence if you look a little deeper. There are many smart people like this these days.

“Ah~”

Wuxie uttered an "ah" reluctantly, pouted his lips and spoke unhappily.

"Uncle, you are so busy, I don't need to bother you with this little thing."

Wu Erbai was almost laughed out of anger by him. He was so busy, yet he still came to help calm the situation. This kid looked reluctant. His kindness was really taken for granted!

"If I wasn't worried that a brat like you wouldn't be able to handle the situation, do you think I would come here?"

Wuxie realized that his second uncle was really angry, so he immediately used sweet words to coax him and praised Wu Erbai to the skies. In the end, the matter was settled.

The interviewers arrived very quickly. They were a small team of five people. The reporter in charge was called Weiying, a young and beautiful girl with a sweet smile.

Wuxie first got close to a few people, then tactfully mentioned that his second uncle would accompany him for the interview in a while, and wanted to postpone the interview time. It didn't take much effort for the other party to agree.

A glimmer flickered in Wei Ying's eyes. Online literature had only just begun to develop, and the older generation wasn't optimistic about it. It seemed this young novelist had the support of her family. This offered her another good angle to explore new topics...

Wu Erbai didn't make them wait long, and they arrived in a short while.

The car he was sitting in, the high-end suit he was wearing, and the aura of a big boss all showed his financial status and wealth, which gave this group of editors a severe warning.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

After Wu Erbai entered the room, he put away his aura and showed a friendly smile. The contrast between before and after was so great that Wei Ying and the others felt a little flattered.

"No, no, you are Wu Erbai, an outstanding entrepreneur in Hangzhou, Mr. Wu, I have heard of your name for a long time.

I never thought that the Evil Emperor and you were related. We are sorry for disturbing you this time."

As a young reporter, it was natural for her to be familiar with famous figures from all walks of life. Wei Ying immediately recognized Wu Erbai, who had appeared in the Financial Evening News several times. She put on a formal smile and bowed slightly to Wu Erbai.

Wu Erbai chuckled and found that the young reporter who came to interview him was sensible, so he did not make things difficult for her. He waved at her with a humble and polite tone.

"Outstanding entrepreneurs don't have the responsibility, they are just praised by their peers."

Wuxie was listening at the side, curling his lips subtly. His second uncle's words were all nice to hear, but he couldn't think too deeply about them.

To put it bluntly, it's just that I'm not that good, and my reputation now is all thanks to the support of my peers.

Wu Erbai caught a glimpse of Wu Xie's little expression out of the corner of his eye, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. He asked the other party to sit down and spoke with a smile.

"If everything is ready, the interview can begin."

A few words that immediately grabbed the initiative in the conversation. Wei Ying's formal smile froze for a moment. Although she was a little dissatisfied with the other party's strong attitude, she could only speak in agreement because the other party was more powerful than her.

"Okay sir, cameraman, get ready to start."

The three of them sat around the coffee table in the living room. Wei Ying first said a few words to warm up the atmosphere, then introduced the identities of Wuxie and Wu Erbai, and then started the question-and-answer session.

"Mr. Wuxie's literary talent and imagination have amazed book lovers. He was able to write such an excellent book in his first experience with online literature. Many book lovers are curious about you.

Next, I have some questions that book fans are curious about, and I would like to take this opportunity to ask Mr. Wuxie."

"No problem, I will tell you everything I know."

Wuxie had a gentle and friendly smile on his face. At first glance, he looked no different from a pure-minded college student, without any trace of social filth.

"Alright, sir. So, our first question is, why did you choose the pen name 'Evil Emperor'? Is there some unknown story behind it?"

Wei Ying's tone was playful, but the gentle persuasion behind her words made Wuxie freeze in place.

What else could he say? Was he going to say it was because he had a fit of chuunibyou and wanted to show off online?

Wuxie, who had never thought that one day he would be standing on the stage, was instantly embarrassed.

He had originally drafted a draft for himself and had thought of how to answer many questions. This question is too off-topic. Don't think he hasn't read the readers' comments!

Wu Erbai, who was sitting next to Wu Xie, had anticipated this situation and interrupted with a smile.

“I happen to know something about the matter you asked.

Wuxie had always been bright and intelligent, and his academic performance was excellent. In his early years, when fortune-tellers were reading fortunes on the street, several masters would say that this child had a good fate, and in ancient times, he would have been destined to be an emperor.

We all know that fortune-telling is feudal superstition. It's just people saying good things and we do it for fun.

Wuxie must have thought of these things, so he chose this pen name."

Wuxie smiled and nodded beside him, as if that was the case, and was glad in his heart that he had avoided social death.

As expected, Second Uncle is worthy of being Second Uncle, the old ones are still the wisest!

He really didn't expect that his second uncle could describe his outbreak of Chuunibyou in such a tortuous and profound way.

Second uncle, thank you for being there, really!

"So that's how it is."

Wei Ying glanced between Wuxie and Wuerbai, then asked with a smile, secretly trying to dig out some hot spots.

“Mr. Wu Erbai just said that Mr. Wu Xie has been smart since he was a child and has good academic performance.

So, when Mr. Wuxie gave up on finding a good job with his academic qualifications and chose to stay at home and embark on the path of writing online articles, what did you think as his family?

As far as I know, many parents are critical of online writers. Has Mr. Wuxie ever had any conflicts with his family over this?
