Chapter 662 - Agreeing To Be Interviewed (1/2)
Obviously, Yuan Zhou had been called quite a few times by this number of Chengdu Daily. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have saved this number on his phone.
That was indeed the case. Before Yuan Zhou left for Shanghai to attend the Sino-Japan Exchange Meeting, the reporter of this newspaper wanted to have an exclusive interview with him, but was refused by Yuan Zhou who didn’t like such troublesome things.
Nonetheless, he suddenly had a pillow now when he wanted to sleep. It was naturally the best way to raise his prestige by being interviewed and then reported.
In addition, there were no follow-up reports about Yuan Zhou anymore ever since he returned to Chengdu. Now, his popularity had been subsiding gradually. Except for some weird program, there were no other formal reports.
If he was interviewed by some program again now, it was the perfect time to reveal his presence. It could not only raise his profile, but also clarify some inaccurate things.
Moreover, he could tell others that this was his first formal interview made by a newspaper.
“It seems that I must thank this reporter.” Yuan Zhou smiled when he picked up the phone.
“Hello, Master Yuan. I’m sorry for disturbing you again.” There came a clear and melodious female voice from the phone. Her voice was polite, cordial, and gentle.
“Never mind.” Yuan Zhou’s voice
“Then, Boss Yuan, what do you think about accepting the interview?” The female voice on the phone seem to understand Yuan Zhou well, hence her words were rather straightforward.
“Okay,” said Yuan Zhou lightly.
“I know you are very busy with your work, but I will go when you have free time. I will also prepare all the questions related to your kitchen only rather than any about your privacy. I hope you can consider my proposal. After all, you have just defeated Tengyuan Jiayuan,” The female reporter only paused for a moment out of politeness, ignoring what Yuan Zhou’s reply was and continued her speech.
Not until the female reporter finished her words did she realize that she didn’t hear what Yuan Zhou said just now.
“I’m sorry, but what did you say?” The female reporter stayed silent for five seconds and then asked steadily with a controlled voice.
“I’m free tomorrow afternoon.” Yuan Zhou didn’t repeat what he said just now, but changed another method to tell her.
“Okay, good. Thank you, Boss Yuan,” the female reporter answered immediately, fearing that Yuan Zhou would regret his decision.
“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and prepared to hang up the phone.
“3:30 tomorrow afternoon. What do you think of the time?” the female reporter asked hurriedly.
“No problem.” Yuan Zhou answered readily.
“All right. See you at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. Thank you so much, Boss Yuan.” The female reporter thanked him again.
“You are welcome,” said Yuan Zhou before he hung up the phone.
Immediately, a girl’s voice sounded from one of the cubicles in the office of Chengdu Daily, “Oh, yes! Boss Yuan finally agreed. Fantastic.”
“Little Shu, did Boss Yuan agree to your interview?” a middle-aged woman in the cubicle ahead turned her head and asked in surprise.
“Yes, yeah. Thank you, Sister Qian. Boss Yuan was eventually moved by me.” The one called Little Shu was the female reporter who had called Yuan Zhou just now.
Having obtained an affirmative answer, Sister Qian became more surprised. She looked at Little Shu and asked.
“I heard from Presenter Lu on the program Folk Talent that this Boss Yuan is sharp-tongued but actually kind-hearted. As long as you spend more time, he will be persuaded. Am I right?” the elder Sister Qian said smilingly.
Though Sister Qian said so on the surface, she was actually shocked greatly. Presenter Lu indeed said so, but he also said there was little possibility for it to work out that way. After all, Yuan Zhou didn’t accept the interviews from other newspaper or TV stations anymore except his program, Folk Talent .
It was like what people often said, hard work resulted in success, but it was more likely that they wouldn’t succeed however hard they tried.
