Chapter 1235 Breaking News for You
Xiao Peng swore to Zhao Shanhe that what he hated most was someone disturbing his sleep, but the next morning he was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Xiao Peng went to open the door angrily, but when he opened the door, he saw a group of people standing outside.
Xiao Peng rubbed his eyes and said, "Officer Freeman, what's going on? Why are there so many people here?"
Freeman saw Xiao Peng's expression and said apologetically, "Mr. Xiao, did I disturb your rest?"
Xiao Peng nodded seriously: "Yes!"
"How about you take a rest for a while?" Freeman asked uncertainly.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng replied directly: "Okay!" and then closed the door.
Seeing the door closed, everyone was confused. Why didn't this guy play by the rules? We were just being polite!
Fortunately, the door opened again, and Xiao Peng said, "Don't be nervous, I was just joking."
Freeman laughed awkwardly and said, "Mr. Xiao is such a humorous person."
Of course, he was smiling on the outside but cursing in his heart. Is this a joke? It's not funny at all!
Xiao Peng didn't care what he thought. He asked, "Officer Freeman, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Freeman said hurriedly, "Didn't you ask me to contact the staff whose clothes you burned and apologize to them? They're all here now."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with gloom. "Why don't you just count the number of people and I'll just give you the money? Is it really necessary to send someone to come here in person?"
"No, no, no." At this time, someone nearby spoke up. "Actually, everyone understands that their clothes were burned. They're even happy that their clothes could save someone's life. We in Baden-Württemberg are simple and honest people. The fact that two of your four bodyguards are from here speaks volumes. Unlike that Heinrich Oken from Hesse, who is so despicable and shameless! He's even capable of blackmailing a hero who saved someone's life."
Xiao Peng looked at the person who was speaking. He must be quite old, yet he was wearing a silver, shimmering ski suit. Was he trying to look younger?
He was also wearing a bright green ski cap, which further confirmed Xiao Peng's thoughts.
Here, "green hat" has no special meaning. On the contrary, many people here like the color green. They think green can make people look younger - after all, green does make their fair skin look more fresh.
"Who is this?" Xiao Peng asked Freeman puzzledly.
Freeman said hurriedly: "Let me introduce myself to you. This is our mayor, Mandesa, and this is his daughter Heidi."
Xiao Peng's expression instantly became strange when he looked at Mandesa. Damn, your hat is really suitable for the occasion!
"Mr. Xiao, why do you look at me like that?" Freeman asked curiously.
Before Xiao Peng could say anything, Heidi on the side was already anxious: "Mr. Xiao, I'm a reporter from the Munich Daily. I rushed back overnight just to interview you!"
Xiao Peng frowned and said, "If you were a reporter, you should know that I don't like media interviews."
Heidi hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, I heard you're going to donate two million here? The reason is that you like this place. If you like it here, you should have the responsibility to promote us. We need explosive news to attract more people to come here!"
"Explosive news?" Xiao Peng glanced at Freeman and said, "Officer Freeman, didn't you tell them what happened here last night?"
Freeman was stunned: "Last night? What happened?"
Xiao Peng was puzzled: "You don't know? Didn't you go back to the police station yesterday?"
"I stayed at the ski resort hotel yesterday!" Freeman said, looking at Mandesa with resentment. He was going to go down the mountain and return to town last night, but Mandesa insisted on letting him stay here overnight - probably Mandesa was also afraid that Freeman was fooling him. What if Xiao Peng didn't want to donate at all?
Xiao Peng asked helplessly, "Didn't your colleagues tell you what happened at the police station?"
Freeman said: "The snowstorm destroyed the communication base station here, and there is no cell phone signal."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "No wonder!"
"Mr. Xiao, please respect my profession!" Heidi frowned slightly: "I'm talking to you, why are you chatting with someone else?"
Xiao Peng looked at Heidi and said, "Female reporter, please show me the legal clause. Which law says that if you talk to me, I have to pay attention to you?"
Heidi wasn't angry after hearing this. "Mr. Xiao, are you so aggressive and wary of this interview because you have some secret you don't want others to know? Is this a personal trait or a common habit among all of you in Daxia?"
Xiao Peng's brows twisted into knots. What the hell was that? These reporters were really going to ask anything to grab attention—should I go back to sleep, or should I go back to sleep, or should I go back to sleep?
The problem is that even if Xiao Peng goes back to sleep when encountering such a reporter, it will not solve the problem. If he really does that, I am afraid that Heidi's interview transcript will become: "Xiao Peng avoids the interview in the face of sharp questions - is there any hidden secret behind this?"
Anyway, most European journalists are like this. They start with a pen and make up the content.
Seeing Xiao Peng's unhappy face, Mandesa became anxious: "Heidi, what are you doing? You should be asking about how Mr. Xiao rescued people in the snowstorm, not these boring questions!"
"I'm just asking the questions that my readers care about most!" Heidi said.
She rushed back here overnight just to interview how Xiao Peng saved people?
No way! News like this is very sensitive!
If it was an ordinary person or even a beggar who braved a snowstorm to save someone, the news would definitely attract a lot of attention: Look, even though they are just ordinary people, they stood up to help others in a critical moment. What a kind and noble act. But what if a wealthy person did the same? I'm afraid most readers would think: "Damn, such a strong snowstorm didn't kill him" or "This is a paid-for news story!"
Instead of reporting on this matter, why not report on some explosive news! Something like a billionaire's scandal? That's what readers would love to hear!
Mandesa hurriedly apologized to Xiao Peng: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I didn't know my daughter would be like this."
Heidi said unhappily, "What have I done wrong? I'm a journalist, and a journalist's job is to reveal the truth!"
Xiao Peng suddenly laughed after hearing this: "Heidi, are you really someone who has the courage to reveal the truth?"
"Of course!" Heidi answered without thinking.
Xiao Peng pointed behind her and asked, "How will you report this?"
"What is it?"
Everyone turned around and saw two police cars driving towards them.
