The second volume is called "One Heart" Chapter 26 An interview that cannot be postponed (2)
Although I don't want to have anything to do with her, I have been refusing for so long. This time, Xue Wuxia and Afeng came out to persuade me. If I refuse again, it would be too inhumane. I was conflicted in my heart and didn't know how to deal with it. Suddenly, a "beep" sounded, and the figure representing Long Da reporter in the communication column jumped wildly. This Long Piaopiao is really persistent and keeps trying to get in touch with me.
After hesitating for a while, I finally connected the call channel. When I participated in the "World Heroes Conference", I accepted a reporter's business card from her, which allowed us to contact each other. Unless I was cruel enough to kick her name out, I would not be able to get rid of her entanglement. Judging from her attitude, it was clear that she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
There was silence on the other end. Maybe she didn't expect the call to be connected so suddenly. She didn't react for a moment, so I had to say hello first, "Hello, reporter Longda!"
"Hello, A'dai, you are really hard to please. You kept saying you were busy in the previous few times. Now that the mission is completed, I thought you were going to continue hiding and refused to talk to me." Although there was a hint of sarcasm in the reporter Long's words, his voice was crisp and pleasant, and very calm, and people could not hear any blame in him.
"How could I hide? I really just came online after a good sleep. Didn't you interview Windtalker? He can prove it for me." I hurriedly clarified. This kind of thing cannot be admitted. Journalists have occupational diseases. What if she asked me the reason why I avoided the interview, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
"Okay, no need to explain any more. I have already asked your Captain Xue and Vice Captain Feng. You should not have any urgent matters to deal with right now. Can you accept my interview?"
Xue Wuxia and Afeng had already been convinced by her, so what else could I say but agree and immediately rush to Box No. 9 of Beijing Restaurant in Beijing City to accept her exclusive interview. I interviewed Xue Wuxia and Afeng there and she hasn't left yet, as if she had calculated that I would definitely go to be interviewed.
It was much more convenient with the teleportation array. I arrived in Beijing in no time and entered the Beijing Restaurant. I checked if anyone was paying attention and entered Box No. 9. Reporter Long was a celebrity and I didn't know if she had any loyal fans following her. It would be bad if someone saw me and she having a "tryst" alone and some rumors spread. After the "World Heroes Conference", I might run into someone who could recognize me. As the saying goes, "gossip can melt gold, and repeated criticism can destroy a person." The rumor that Long Xingtianxia had a close relationship with her alone would be enough to put me in big trouble. If there was really something between us, it would be worth it and I would be willing to pay a price, but it would be too unfair for someone with an innocent name to be blamed.
Long Piaopiao was wearing a black suit, which was bright and solemn, slightly different from the first time we met. She seemed to give people a more capable and sophisticated impression. When she saw me come in, she stood up, smiled slightly, and extended her hand, "Hello! Ah Dai, I'm glad you can accept my interview."
With the experience from last time, although his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, he managed to remain calm on the surface. He took a few steps forward and gently held her soft and delicate hand. "Hello! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"A man like Mr. Ah Dai, who is the first person in Tian Xia to change his job, assisted his companions in winning the Eastern Continent Team Championship in the Tian Xia Heroes Conference, and was even more lucky to have won the second artifact in Tian Xia. Yesterday, he became a key member of the first mercenary group in Tian Xia, Tong Xin Meng. With so many honors, since he is willing to condescend to accept an interview from a small reporter like me, it is only right that he waits a little longer."
Young reporter? I'm afraid you're more famous than me, with your beauty and intelligence, and I don't know how many men's dream girl you are. You were sarcastic as soon as we met, and I think you were rejected by me a few times, and you're a little upset, so you took this opportunity to express your dissatisfaction with me.
This was actually my fault. I agreed but kept making excuses to refuse without giving any detailed explanation. Every time I spoke a few words, I cut off the communication. It was clear that I didn't want to be interviewed by her, which really showed that I didn't respect her very much.
I poured a cup of tea and handed it to her sincerely, "Ms. Long, I'm sorry, it was all my fault before. I apologize to you!" This was the trick that Afeng taught me before to coax women. Respectful actions combined with sincere expressions are more effective than using a lot of flowery words to explain, especially when facing intelligent women. This is also the first time I have applied it in "actual combat".
Long Piaopiao burst out laughing and looked me up and down. "Who did you learn this from? You're so old-fashioned!"
My heart skipped a beat and I thought to myself that this was not good. It seemed that the tricks I learned a few years ago were outdated. My face suddenly felt hot, and I couldn't think of any other tricks in a hurry. I didn't know how to remedy the situation. With an introverted personality like me, I have wasted more than 20 years of my life, and still have very little experience in interacting alone with women, especially very beautiful women.
Feeling awkward, Long Piaopiao reached out to take the teacup and took two sips. "Although your method is old-fashioned, I can see that your intentions are quite sincere. Never mind. I'll forgive you. When you want to reject others in the future, remember to find some excuses that sound more reasonable, and speak with a confident tone as if you are telling the truth. A clumsy hypocrite is not as lovable as a real villain."
No matter what she said, as long as she was willing to drink the tea, the relationship would turn around. It was a false alarm, but the purpose was finally achieved. In fact, I lowered my posture to ask for peace with her not because I was attracted by her beauty and lost myself, but because of Afeng's request. After knowing that I was online, Afeng contacted me again, hoping that I could get along well with her, and it would be best to establish a personal friendship. At the very least, don't offend her easily. She planned to use her as a reporter's various information channels to collect clues about "Playboy" and determine his identity in the game as soon as possible, so as to take targeted actions. After experiencing the "World Heroes Conference" and participating in the establishment of the Tongxin League, Afeng became much more confident and was eager to formulate a revenge plan.
Xue Wuxia made the same choice as Afeng for some unknown reason, which was to try to win over Long Piaopiao and handle the relationship between Tongxin League and her. She had a very pleasant conversation with Long Piaopiao and they were very speculative. Afeng was only a supporting role because Xue Wuxia was there, so he didn't have many opportunities to show off, and he couldn't find an excuse to get close to her again. Therefore, he placed his hopes on me, creating a reason to further develop the relationship, and then he could take the opportunity to find out the necessary information. I met her alone, without a third party present, and my reputation was much more prominent than Afeng, the deputy head of the group. With his experience, he naturally had a better chance of success than himself.
After getting forgiveness, the formal interview began. I had nothing to say about real life. If I speak too much, I will make mistakes. If someone familiar with me accidentally discovers my true identity and spreads it, it will cause trouble for the "playboy". I tried my best to answer the things that happened in the game, such as the first job change, why I chose thief as my second job, some experiences in the "Dead Soul Space", the feelings and experience of winning the team competition, the hardships of completing the mercenary group's mission, etc., except for some professional secrets such as being deceived by the dead old man, the existence of Taotao, the professional characteristics of the necromancer, the true value of the "Touch of Death", and the subjugation of the Millennium Corpse King, I basically did everything I knew and said everything I knew. Of course, I was not completely realistic. In the process, I also appropriately beautified my image a little bit. It was not as bad as I described. After all, it was to be publicly reported in "Sky Media". Even if I didn't think about myself, I had to maintain the face of the Tongxin League.
