If it weren't for the fact that Xinhua News Agency still had a deputy editor-in-chief holding things together, Editor-in-Chief Zhao would probably have to stay at the newspaper office all the time to deal with the busyness brought about by Jiang Sheng.
"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu is probably about to be driven crazy by you right now."
Song Huaping even cracked a joke: "This is the busiest time for the newspaper, and you just happened to take me on this mission. I'm afraid the letters on Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu's desk are already piled up like a mountain!"
Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Zhao waved his hand dismissively: "Let him be. He should be busy. Famous poets from all over the country have sent letters saying they want to get to know this Jiang Yuesheng. Let him handle it on his own. I just need to meet this great poet Jiang as soon as possible!"
The master and apprentice couldn't help but smile at each other.
In the end, it was Editor-in-Chief Zhao who took the initiative to step forward and glance at Song Huaping behind him.
"What are you still standing there for? Now that we've met Jiang Yuesheng, let's take this opportunity to interview him, lest he disappear again!"
Song Huaping nodded quickly and followed after him.
The two quickly arrived in front of Jiang Sheng. Just as Jiang Sheng was about to turn around and leave, he heard a man's voice behind him.
"Excuse me, sir, could you please wait a moment?"
Hearing someone call his name, and hearing a completely unfamiliar voice, Jiang Sheng instinctively turned around.
Seeing that they were two people he didn't know, Jiang Sheng asked politely and courteously.
"May I ask who you are...?"
Editor-in-Chief Zhao quickly smiled and introduced himself: "Sir, we are from Xinhua News Agency, and these are our press cards."
Editor-in-Chief Zhao did not reveal his identity as the president of Xinhua News Agency to Jiang Sheng. Instead, he and Song Huaping directly showed Jiang Sheng their press credentials.
Looking at the two press passes in front of him, Jiang Sheng raised an eyebrow.
He truly hadn't expected that the people from Xinhua News Agency would be so capable, finding him so quickly.
If he wasn't mistaken, they had probably already confirmed that he was Jiang Yuesheng, which was why they took the initiative to contact him.
"So they were from Xinhua News Agency."
Jiang Sheng smiled slightly and said frankly without any hesitation, "I'm afraid it took you a lot of effort to find me."
Seeing Jiang Sheng readily admit his identity, both Editor-in-Chief Zhao and Song Huaping were taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words.
After all, in their view, Jiang Yuesheng had been hiding his identity and where he lived, which meant he definitely didn't want them to know about his existence.
Such a low-profile person, even if they were found, would definitely deny it.
Editor-in-Chief Zhao had even already figured out how to explain their purpose to Jiang Sheng and try to persuade him to have a chat and conduct an exclusive interview.
But before they could even speak, Jiang Sheng so easily and casually admitted everything, leaving them at a loss for what to do.
"It didn't take much effort."
At this moment, Song Huaping quickly realized what was going on and smiled slightly at Jiang Sheng: "I know Mr. Jiang certainly doesn't want us to know your identity, but we really want to conduct an exclusive interview, so we took the liberty of coming here. We hope Mr. Jiang won't be angry."
“Yes,” Editor-in-Chief Zhao quickly nodded in agreement, “However, if Mr. Jiang really is unwilling, we will not force him and will respect all your opinions!”
Looking at the two reporters in front of him, who had clearly found him but were still very polite, Jiang Sheng's opinion of them changed.
He thought for a moment and first informed the gatekeeper.
"Sir, could you please go to my friend's office in a little while and tell him that I have something to do and I won't be back for about half an hour?"
After the doorman nodded in agreement, Jiang Sheng pointed to a coffee shop not far across the street and took the initiative to invite him.
"Since you two have come all this way, you must have had a long and tiring journey these past few days. How about we go to a coffee shop and have a proper chat?"
Jiang Sheng took the initiative to invite them, and the two of them naturally agreed without even thinking about it.
Editor-in-Chief Zhao even felt a touch of joy in his heart.
Since Jiang Yuesheng took the initiative to invite them for coffee, the upcoming interview is a done deal and there's no doubt about it.
With that thought in mind, he already knew what to ask next.
With this in mind, Editor-in-Chief Zhao and Song Huaping soon arrived at the coffee shop diagonally opposite with Jiang Sheng.
The three of them each ordered a cup of coffee. Only then did Jiang Sheng look up and speak to the two people in front of him.
"You two just said that the reason you came to me was to do an exclusive interview with me, right?"
"That's right, that's how it is."
Editor-in-Chief Zhao nodded, a sincere smile on his face: "I know Mr. Jiang certainly doesn't want others to know your identity, otherwise, he wouldn't be hiding his address like this."
"We've come here today with sincerity, hoping to get Mr. Jiang's opinion. If you agree, we'll do an exclusive interview; if you don't, we can consider this a friendship. What do you think?"
Both of them looked at Jiang Sheng expectantly. As for Jiang Sheng, he just smiled apologetically at them and said apologetically.
"I'm really sorry, it's not that I don't want to do an interview right now, but it's just not the right time for me."
Both of them were completely confused when they heard Jiang Sheng's words.
What does it mean to be out of time?
The boy in front of me looks to be eighteen or nineteen years old, full of vigor and so talented.
If they publish an exclusive interview, you can imagine how popular their newspaper will become!
How can such a great opportunity to become famous be considered untimely?
He achieved fame at a young age; the top student from Yenching University is none other than the renowned poet Jiang Yuesheng.
No one would refuse such an invitation!
"Excuse me for asking," Song Huaping asked, looking puzzled, "What does Mr. Jiang mean by 'not the right time'?"
Jiang Sheng patiently explained to the two of them, "My main purpose in writing poetry is simply to share it with everyone."
"Apart from that, I have no desire to become famous."
Seeing the two people's surprised and somewhat incredulous expressions, Jiang Sheng smiled slightly again.
"Who says that writing poetry means becoming famous? Besides, no one stipulates that writing poetry is for the purpose of becoming famous."
