As soon as the three words "Xiao Xingyu" came out, Zhang Moyan's whole body tensed up, and she strongly anticipated something.
As expected, Li Tengfei didn't pause: "We have unanimously decided that this crucial first episode will be handed over to you and Xiao Jin!"
Zhang Moyan was struck by a bolt from the blue.
Indeed, with Xiao Xingyu's level of being at the top of the list as soon as he emerged, one can easily imagine the amount of traffic an exclusive interview with him would bring.
However, when she thought of Xiao Xingyu, all that came to her mind was the melodramatic scene of her Nine Yin White Bone Claw grabbing his belt.
Zhang Moyan's face froze, and she said awkwardly, "Well... I heard yesterday that Xiao Xingyu is no longer in the porcelain-making business. If we want to interview him, wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask his grandfather?"
"Looking for his grandfather?" Jin Xueyang looked at her incredulously. "Zhang Moyan, you're hilarious. Don't even mention that Teacher Xiao is already a very suitable person for this interview based on his personal qualities. Even if he wasn't suitable, they still had to force him to do it! The editor-in-chief said the first issue needs to be a hit, didn't you hear? Anyone else won't be as effective. It has to be him!"
After taking a breath, he added, "You should improve your ideological awareness immediately and don't try to refuse."
The retreat was completely blocked by Jin Xueyang.
Is this person a friend or an enemy?
Zhang Moyan glared at him fiercely, still wanting to decline politely. Jin Xueyang's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his voice was muffled: "I'm not kidding, this isn't easy to accomplish. I called Teacher Xiao this morning to invite him for an interview, but he gave me a stern scolding and flatly refused!"
Zhang Moyan looked at Jin Xueyang sympathetically: "No way? If you don't agree, then don't agree. Why would he teach you a lesson?"
"You know, these media nowadays are like locusts. I guess he has been annoyed to death by the media reporters from yesterday to now." Jin Xueyang spoke up for others.
Zhang Moyan asked in confusion, "What's his reason for not agreeing?"
Jin Xueyang said unhappily, "It's for the reason you mentioned. He stopped studying porcelain a long time ago."
Zhang Moyan nodded, a little regretful: "Isn't he an expert in this field? Why did he quit? What is he doing now?"
Jin Xueyang paused and said, "Do you know 'Moyan'?"
Zhang Moyan thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be an outdoor club? What's going on?"
Jin Xueyang said calmly, "It's his."
The question mark on Zhang Moyan's face was capitalized and bold.
Jin Xueyang gave her a reassuring look. "Yes, they're doing outdoor sports. Moyan is the most advanced outdoor club in China. Its members are all top outdoor survival enthusiasts from home and abroad. Their main business is rock climbing, challenging and overcoming all kinds of natural limits. I don't know if they make money, but they're definitely risking their lives."
Zhang Moyan opened her eyes wide, finding it difficult to equate the owner of the outdoor club with the young expert at yesterday's auction.
Jin Xueyang looked at her. "Isn't it completely unrelated to porcelain? I don't understand. He was so skilled in his field and achieved so much, yet he changed his career halfway through... So there must be a strange and intriguing story behind this."
Jin Xueyang pinched his chin and fell into deep thought like a famous detective.
Li Tengfei glanced at him and couldn't help but interrupt: "If you continue with this idea, 'Xinhuo' should be called 'Changing Careers'. What's the point of talking about spreading spiritual fire? I'll just give you gossip news!"
Faced with the righteous criticism, Jin Xueyang, who was only interested in gossip, put down his hand that was pinching his chin and showed an expression of feeling that his talent was not appreciated.
At this time, Zhang Moyan pondered and said, "Since Xiao Xingyu has changed his career for so long, it is indeed not appropriate for us to ask him to do an interview on this topic again. It is normal for him to refuse us."
Jin Xueyang shook his head. "No, no, no. I think if he really changed his career, he wouldn't have appeared at the auction yesterday. The reason behind this is really intriguing. I'm really becoming more and more interested in him now."
Zhang Moyan was very confused about what kind of interest he had, but now was not the time to find out. She asked Li Tengfei, "Xiao Xingyu has clearly rejected it now. Does the editor still want to win him over?"
For some reason, this time Li Tengfei looked at Jin Xueyang deliberately before speaking, as if he wanted to draw some strength from him before saying the next words.
"We need him. So, I'd like you to go and ask him. If someone else asks, he might outright refuse, but if you ask, there might still be a chance."
Li Tengfei's words were veiled, and Jin Xueyang, fearing Zhang Moyan wouldn't understand, quickly added, "You're Teacher Xiao's savior. If you hadn't stepped in yesterday, he would have been killed by that psychopath. If a benefactor asks for something, he'll definitely repay the favor. You definitely won't give this favor to others!"
Zhang Moyan clenched her fists tightly. She swore that if Li Tengfei had not been there, she would have punched his provocative face twice!
"But the doctor said I have to stay in the hospital for a week for observation..." Zhang Moyan held on to the last straw, her voice as thin as a mosquito leg.
Li Tengfei smiled amiably, "Of course, of course. You should recover first. I'm just telling you the good news today. We can start implementing the specific work after you come back."
“…” Zhang Moyan stretched his neck, well, good news.
Li Tengfei looked at Zhang Moyan earnestly. "I've been working in journalism for nearly 40 years, and I've witnessed countless events, both large and small. It seems I've only been parroting what others say, and haven't produced anything truly valuable. I came up with the idea five years ago of focusing attention on pragmatic workers, but I've been too busy, so it's been put off until now."
At this point, he stood up and said, "I'm going to retire in just over three months. If I don't do it now, I really won't have another chance. I'm worried that after me, no one will be willing to push this project forward regardless of the consequences. Xiao Zhang, Xiao Jin, I need your help. I hope you can all participate!"
