Lord! Give up, my wife is a black and white vest

Chapter 628 Interview with Lu Xixiao, career forced to encounter Waterloo

ESPN reporter Fhoebe brought her assistant, translator and cameraman to Lu's largest branch in Country M.

Fhoebe only realized when she got home last night that Lu had not agreed with them on a specific time for today's interview.

He had no choice but to come early and wait, even before the staff arrived. From nine to eleven o'clock, he waited for two hours without any notification. Fhoebe had a bad feeling.

"You didn't say whether it was morning or afternoon?" asked the assistant.

Fhoebe ignored the assistant.

The assistant was very excited. This was an exclusive interview with the chairman of the Lu Group. He had no idea how Fhoebe felt at the moment. Even if he knew, it had nothing to do with him and would not affect him. After all, he was just an assistant and had done nothing wrong.

The assistant looked around and waited for a while. He looked at his watch and said impatiently, "I'll go ask someone else."

Fhoebe didn't stop him.

Not long after the assistant left, he suddenly came running back and told Fhoebe with a slightly unhappy look on his face, "I just saw a reporter from CNBC."

Fhoebe came back to her senses and was slightly stunned: "CNBC?"

I didn't hear any wind at all.

Is CNBC so low-key and able to hide?

ESPN made a high-profile announcement overnight.

The assistant nodded. "Looks like they just arrived. What's going on? Did the Lu family agree to interview more than just our family? Did they come at the agreed time?"

I originally thought that Lu had forgotten to make an appointment with them.

But even a cleaner at the Lu family wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. Now it seemed like they were deliberately making them wait.

Fhoebe: "Which reporter is this?"

The assistant said he had never seen them before: "They are not the mainstays. They look a bit unfamiliar and look Asian."

If he looks like an Asian, he is 90% likely Chinese.

Assistant: "Should we call the station to find out what's going on? Did Lu really agree to do an interview with us?"

The receptionist brought a female assistant over and said to them, "Follow me."

Fhoebe and her assistant looked at each other and followed.

Fhoebe used his talkativeness to get close to the female assistant. He showed a side of him that was completely different from what he showed at work, a side that was humorous and witty. Coupled with his own fame and handsome looks, he easily won the favor of the female assistant.

After closing the distance, Fhoebe quickly revealed her purpose and asked casually, "I just saw the CNBC reporter. Are they here to interview Chairman Lu as well?"

Female assistant: “That’s right.”

Fhoebe didn't show anything on her face and continued to ask, "Have they gone up yet? Did they arrange this time as well? We arrived very early and have been waiting for Chairman Lu. Chairman Lu should do our interview first, right?"

Female assistant: "It depends on the chairman's arrangement."

Fhoebe: "I'm worried that if we're at the back of the line, we'll be interviewed by CNBC. If we know the order, we'll have time to prepare for both scenarios. What do you think, beautiful and capable Ms. Tina?"

Tina: "With Mr. Fhoebe's professional ability, I believe he would be able to perform well even if he encountered such a situation."

Fhoebe: "Thank you Ms. Tina for your affirmation."

He had a warm smile on his face, but cursed in his heart.

After coming out of the elevator, Fhoebe and the other three were taken directly to the office of Chairman Lu Xixiao by a female assistant. Fhoebe's uneasy heart was slightly relieved, as it seemed that they were the first in line.

When they entered the office, they found a CNBC reporter already sitting on the sofa, preparing for an interview. The two groups were stunned when they met. The CNBC reporter had an Asian face and seemed to be new. Upon seeing Fhoebe, a well-known journalist and industry veteran, he immediately approached and greeted her in a friendly manner.

Fhoebe responded lukewarmly.

A male assistant told ESPN, "The chairman will wrap up the meeting in 20 minutes. You guys should hurry up and get ready."

Fhoebe: "What do you mean? Together?"

Male assistant: “Yeah.”

Fhoebe: "How can this be done at the same time?"

Is it a question of taking turns?

Or do you plan to let them compete in hand speed?

He, the face of ESPN and a well-known reporter, was competing with an unknown young reporter for an interview?

It seemed as if I suddenly understood why CNBC sent a new reporter for such an important and rare interview.

Is it the chairman of Lu Corporation who is targeting him?

Male assistant: "Our chairman's time is precious. If you feel this tests your professional ability, you can replace him with a more professional reporter within 20 minutes."

Fhoebe had nothing to say and asked the assistant to prepare.

Fhoebe started to get close to the CNBC reporter again and learned that CNBC had received Lu's interview response at the last minute and had rushed over. In addition, this reporter was also specifically requested by Lu, and was indeed a Chinese who had only been working there for a year.

CNBC's rookie reporter is dreaming.

I feel grateful to Lu Xixiao in my heart.

He is the only Chinese reporter at CNBC. If it weren't for his Chinese identity, this award would never have fallen on him.

Fhoebe: "What are you guys planning to interview? Let's discuss the questions so we don't have any conflicts later."

The Chinese reporter politely declined: "No thanks."

Fhoebe: "I'm doing this for both of our sakes."

The Chinese reporter then told the truth: "That gentleman has already prepared some questions for us to ask later."

Fhoebe looked at the difficult male assistant.

Fhoebe suppressed her inner anxieties and took the initiative to give the prepared questions to the male assistant for review. She spoke kindly, smiled, and behaved very modestly. The male assistant ignored her and reviewed her questions perfunctorily.

Fhoebe, who was certain that Lu Xixiao was going to deal with him, felt very angry. While thinking about how to deal with the situation, he took out his cell phone to call his boss to explain the situation. At this time, the door of the office was pushed open by the assistant from the outside, and a man with an oriental face strode in. He was dressed in a formal suit and had a strong aura.

The male assistant immediately stepped forward and came to Lu Xixiao's side and said respectfully: "Chairman, everything is ready."

Lu Xixiao stretched out his long legs and sat down on the sofa.

The two cameramen immediately adjusted the lens.

The interview begins.

The two reporters were introducing themselves in front of the camera.

This interview was transmitted simultaneously to the TV station and the live broadcast room.

A group of business leaders hunkered down in front of the TV.

Netizens who had been waiting for a long time flocked into the live broadcast room.

The CNBC live studio is a bit cold.

The ESPN live broadcast room, which had advertised today's interview overnight, was instantly flooded with a large number of netizens, especially the ubiquitous Chinese netizens, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the big boss.

Netizens were licking the screen like crazy.

The screen is full of screams and mixed with some different comments.

Why let this guy do the interview? Handsome guy, don't you know this American guy is making sarcastic reports about your wife?

ESPN has been quite sarcastic towards China.

[Can’t you return to China and let our Chinese reporters interview you…]

[Our own financial channel is so humble]

[Boss Lu, please read the comments and don’t accept their interview]

After netizens learned about it, they all followed suit and posted comments.

Fhoebe took the initiative and handed over the microphone first.

Lu Xixiao, whether intentionally or unintentionally, happened to turn his face away at this moment and look at the CNBC reporter.

The words on Fhoebe's lips stopped.

The Chinese reporter suppressed his excitement and first professionally introduced Lu Xixiao to the camera, and then conducted the interview.

Netizens squatting in the ESPN live broadcast room then discovered that more than one reporter and more than one media outlet had been left out.

Lu Xixiao answered every question in an orderly, concise and to the point manner without any nonsense. He spoke with precise words and had a thorough understanding of the trends and developments in various industries, and he was very insightful.

Fhoebe didn't have a chance to interrupt the whole time.

The Chinese spoken by Lu Xixiao and the Chinese reporter was translated in real time on the channel and in the live broadcast room, but Lu Xixiao rigorously used his own translator to translate his words in real time.

So he knew everything they said.

They had prepared these questions, but CNBC had already asked them all. Although CNBC is a financial channel, after they finished asking, the only questions left were about personal life.

Fhoebe was anxious.

His leaders in front of the TV were even more anxious than him.

Everyone at CNBC was laughing so hard that they were numb.

[It’s not that American guy, it’s our Chinese reporter]

[Did this reporter who insulted China get left out by Mr. Lu? ]

[Is the next channel live? Where can I watch it?]

[ESPN currently only has Lu Da Lao's profile haha]

[Boss Lu: Do you know why I accepted the ESPN interview?]

"No, why would ESPN, a sports channel, interview someone? Shouldn't they be interviewing Mr. Lu's wife?"

[Does Mr. Lu know that this guy is being mean to his wife? No, my wife.]

[Sports Channel, I thought I could see my goddess]

Fhoebe had never felt so tormented.

Sure enough, this is Lu Xixiao’s method and purpose.

They stood him up in public, stood up ESPN as a whole, embarrassed him, embarrassed ESPN as a whole, forced his career to a Waterloo, and made ESPN as a whole a laughing stock. And they even brought in a newcomer in the industry, a Chinese journalist, to slap him in the face.

Wait for the Chinese reporters to finish answering a few business questions.

Fhoebe seized the opportunity and quickly handed over the microphone: "Can you tell us about your personal life for our audience?"

With so many eyes watching, he didn't believe Lu Xixiao could remain deaf and dumb. Trying to force his career to fail in this way was underestimating his ability.

The Chinese reporter subconsciously glanced at Fhoebe.

Seeing that Lu Xixiao didn't react at all, as if he hadn't heard Fhoebe's words and his eyes were still fixed on him, the Chinese reporter quickly continued, "The audience is paying close attention to your relationship with World Champion W, especially us Chinese audiences. Can I ask you a few personal questions about your relationship on behalf of everyone?"

Lu Xixiao nodded lightly: "Of course."

The American audience in front of the TV felt very uncomfortable watching the show.

The Chinese netizens in the live broadcast room laughed. If they still couldn't see that Lu Xixiao was selectively deaf, they must be blind.

Clearly targeting Fhoebe and ESPN.

Fhoebe's hand on the microphone dropped stiffly.

I can't wait to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

[I am supporting my wife and venting my anger. I am crying my heart out.]

[Boss Lu's initiative is amazing]

How could my Lu Da Lao possibly be pro-M Country?

[Last night, ESPN teased my goddess and then announced an interview with her husband. I felt something was wrong, haha]

[Honest now, huh? Did you hit a wall? ]

[Do you think deleting the report will solve the problem?]

[There are actually people who dare to mess with my flat-headed sister]

[Boss Lu: The weather is cold, ESPN is broken]

[My sister doesn't even need to do anything]

[Boss Lu is killing the chicken to scare the monkey]

[We Chinese have good tempers, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have tempers]

Netizens were gloating and posting comments crazily, turning into reporters to gossip about Lu Xixiao and Wen Li's relationship, and the screen was full of questions.

Chinese reporter: "Would it be convenient to know who is pursuing whom between you and World Champion W?"
