Chapter 85: Only Look at Today

"BBC Television also wants to join the joint interview?!"

In the reception house next to the Pingyang Television Station, Wang Huikang, a supervisor of the television station who led the team from the Provincial Station, couldn't help but be surprised after hearing the news.

From the time An Ruxue came to the reception house of the Pingyang Television Station to the news that Li Dongling was willing to accept an exclusive interview, the Provincial Station and the Pingyang Television Station began to get busy, preparing for the exclusive interview with Li Dongling tomorrow.

In the country now, I don't know how many television stations, newspaper offices, and other media outlets want to conduct an exclusive interview with Li Dongling. As long as the exclusive interview with Li Dongling is released, they will definitely be able to get a big wave of ratings.

The media that heard the news, many of them came to the Provincial Station, wanting to join the joint exclusive interview, but Wang Huikang didn't expect that the British BBC Television also wanted to join the exclusive interview.

Zheng Zutai, who was responsible for the Pingyang Television Station, who had introduced the satellite dish project to the television station before, was now the deputy director of the Pingyang Television Station, and couldn't help but ask Wang Huikang, "Then our interview this time, are we going to form a joint exclusive interview with BBC Television?!"

"Definitely!"

Wang Huikang said without thinking. This kind of opportunity to form a joint exclusive interview with overseas media is rare, and it is not easy to refuse foreign media.

Although nominally, the Pingyang Television Station and the Provincial Station formed a joint exclusive interview, it was definitely dominated by the Provincial Station. Not to mention, this exclusive interview opportunity was fought for by the reporter from the Provincial Station.

Zheng Zutai's gaze looked toward the direction of the director of the Pingyang Television Station, Wei Changyuan, and saw that he was talking to the reporter from the Provincial Station in a low voice. Zheng Zutai could even feel that Wei Changyuan was quite respectful to that reporter from the Provincial Station, which made Zheng Zutai speculate about An Ruxue's identity. It was also him who told An Ruxue Li Dongling's current residence today.

"Old leader, how is your health now?!" Wei Changyuan poured a cup of tea for An Ruxue.

"Still okay. When I came, my father also asked me to say hello to Uncle Wei!" An Ruxue said.

Hearing this, Wei Changyuan smiled. "It's rare that the old leader still remembers me. I have always wanted to visit the old leader, but I was afraid that Director An was too busy to find time. This time, Ruxue, when you go back, please convey a message to the old leader for me. I will visit him when the time comes!"

Wei Changyuan and these television stations and propaganda departments under Hanxi all belonged to An Yueguo, and there were many who followed An Yueguo. Wei Changyuan was one of them. Although the time was not long, it could be considered to have origins.

Seeing An Ruxue, who seemed to be in a low mood, Wei Changyuan asked tentatively, "Why, was it not smooth to see Li Zong today?"

An Ruxue didn't make a sound, then looked up and asked Wei Changyuan, "Uncle Wei, have you heard of Yao Luoying?!"

"Of course I have. She is now the assistant general manager of Dongling High-Tech, and now seems to be concurrently holding positions such as the head of the personnel department. She is a famous female professional manager in Pingyang..."

Saying this, Wei Changyuan suddenly stopped, looked at An Ruxue, and showed a suspicious look on his face. "Ruxue, do you want to know..."

"Yao Luoying is also the daughter of Deputy Mayor Yao, who is in charge of industry and commerce in Pingyang!"

Wei Changyuan said in a low voice, and then stopped talking. He didn't know why An Ruxue suddenly asked about Yao Luoying, but the old Jianghu he was, still saw some clues and didn't dare to say more. Involving Li Dongling, An Ruxue, Yao Luoying, and the An family and Yao family behind them, he felt his head was about to get big.

"Thank you, Uncle Wei, I know!"

An Ruxue said to Wei Changyuan, then got up and picked up the manuscript for the exclusive interview tomorrow, but in her mind, she couldn't help but think of Li Dongling's figure today, and her eyes became firm.

"Luoying, do you want to eat more? I left you some soup?!" At the Yao family, Han Liuping, who saw her return, said.

"No need, I've eaten!"

Yao Zhengru, who was looking at a book on urban changes abroad, saw her return, and her mood seemed good. "Why, something happened?!"

"No!" Yao Luoying didn't know why Yao Zhengru would ask this.

Closing the book in his hand, Yao Zhengru looked at his daughter. "Someone came from the provincial capital?!"

"How did you know?!" Yao Luoying asked in surprise. "The Provincial Station did send someone to conduct an exclusive interview with Dongling High-Tech."

"Pingyang is only so big, a little bit of wind and grass will spread out!"

Yao Zhengru said, and then looked at his daughter, his expression became a bit serious. "That Reporter An is the child of Director An from the Provincial Propaganda Committee!"

After the surprise, Yao Luoying's face turned into a look of indifference. "Old Comrade Yao, your news is quite well-informed."

"Your father, I, also have old leaders in the provincial capital," Yao Zhengru smiled and looked at Yao Luoying. "Your mother and I only have you as a daughter. If we don't put our minds on you, where else can we put them!"

Glancing at Han Liuping, who was busy in the kitchen, "You and Li Dongling's affairs, you young people decide for yourselves. As long as you don't regret it in the future, it's enough!"

"Got it, Old Comrade Yao, when did you become like Han Liuping?!"

"What's wrong with me, you stinky girl, what are you editing me again..." Han Liuping, who was in the kitchen, heard the movement and ran out, pointing her finger at Yao Luoying's head.

Looking at Yao Luoying and Han Liuping, Yao Zhengru smiled and turned to the urban planning book again, but in his mind, he thought of An Yueguo, whom he had met several times, and finally shook his head and turned to the book again.

"Li Zong, long time no see!"

Zheng Zutai welcomed Li Dongling who arrived at the television station.

"I also want to congratulate Director Zheng!"

After Li Dongling shook hands with Zheng Zutai, he said to Zheng Zutai. The two had dealt with each other several times. Now Dongling High-Tech was also placing advertisements on Pingyang Television Station, and Zheng Zutai could be considered an "insider" of Dongling High-Tech in the media industry.

Although Pingyang Television Station was not a large media platform, it was also a member of the media industry. Having an insider was also beneficial to Dongling High-Tech.

"Director Wei!"

"Supervisor Wang!"

After entering the television station, Li Dongling exchanged a few pleasantries with Wei Changyuan, Wang Huikang, and others.

"Drink a cup of water first!"

An Ruxue poured a glass of water for Li Dongling, then straightened his slightly wrinkled collar. "You should look over the interview script first. Besides the questions on here, there will be some random questions. During the exclusive interview, there will be questions from a BBC reporter; you can choose not to answer, and it can also be edited in post-production!"

Watching Li Dongling and An Ruxue, who seemed quite familiar with each other, Wei Changyuan, Wang Huikang, and Zheng Zutai exchanged glances and then tacitly walked away.

Just before entering the interview studio, Li Dongling saw the BBC reporter named Pan En, but he did not seem to have any intention of interacting with Li Dongling, only talking to another accompanying member of the BBC television station, occasionally looking toward Li Dongling's side.

"Welcome to today's joint exclusive interview, composed of the Hanxi Provincial Station, the Platform Television Station, and the BBC!"

"We are very fortunate this time to have invited the founder of Dongling High-Tech, Mr. Li Dongling!"

As the host for this interview, An Ruxue faced the camera, finished this sentence, took a deep breath, and looked at Li Dongling.

"Mr. Li, I think everyone wants to know, why did you establish Dongling High-Tech?!" An Ruxue asked Li Dongling the first question.

"Perhaps it was an accident. When I was working at the Shangguan Town Component Factory, a batch of computers I procured had a mouse experience that was too poor. The establishment of Dongling High-Tech was to develop the best-to-use mouse. Now, I'm not sure if Dongling High-Tech has achieved that, but it has given users one more choice for a mouse!"

Hearing Li Dongling's answer, An Ruxue looked toward him. Li Dongling spoke subtly, but she knew that the Silver Mink mouse was already synonymous with mice.

"Mr. Li, what differences do you think there are between the provincial capital and Pingyang, or other cities?!" An Ruxue suddenly put down the teleprompter and asked Li Dongling.

The studio director in charge of this exclusive interview couldn't help but say to Wei Changyuan and the others sitting on the side, "This question isn't on the interview script..."

"During an interview, the host has room for their own improvisation. Continue recording!" Wei Changyuan coughed and said.

Li Dongling looked at An Ruxue. "Yesterday cannot be regretted, tomorrow cannot be known; for me, I only look at the present!"

An Ruxue looked deeply at Li Dongling and asked a few more questions in succession, but they were basically standard. At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, "Excuse me, may I ask Mr. Li Dongling a question?!"

The person speaking was none other than the BBC reporter Pan En. After receiving permission, Pan En asked Li Dongling, "I want to congratulate Dongling High-Tech Company; you have developed a product welcomed by the whole world. The electronic pet machine is now one of the most sought-after products in Europe!"

Pan En clearly had not been in the country for a short time. He first hyped up Dongling High-Tech, then shifted the topic. "Mr. Li seems to strongly support domestic Chinese brands, but now it seems that apart from Dongling High-Tech, in the tech industry, there is no second domestic brand that can stand out and provide excellent products."

"I have no intention of belittling your tech industry, but right now, the gap between your tech products and foreign brands is truly too large. From airplanes and cars to computers and other products, it is all like this. In the next twenty years, I don't see any hope of catching up."

"May I ask Mr. Li, is there still a need to insist on domestic brands? Will Dongling High-Tech act as an agent for overseas brands? I heard that American tech companies all intend to cooperate with Dongling High-Tech, letting Dongling High-Tech act as an agent for their products!"
