Chapter 23 Interview
When Lauren saw Zachary reading in the library, she explained to him that she was here to interview him. Zachary was quite shocked, as he didn't expect himself to be interviewed by Lauren, a famous beautiful reporter in Ludington City. Lauren joined the entertainment industry as soon as she graduated five years ago, becoming the most beautiful young reporter on Ludington Entertainment Channel of Ludington TV. She had raised the viewer ratings by two percent. She then became the host of several famous shows and ceremonies in the next few years. She had a good body figure, and she also spoke clearly in a cheerful manner. She became the top reporter on Ludington TV, attracting fans from Ludington City and also from many other provinces.
Zachary, who had just entered the university at that time, was one of Lauren's fans. He did not pay much attention to her anymore as he was getting busier with his studies. In addition, Lauren's influence had decreased since she was no longer active in the entertainment channel.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
However, her arrival on the campus still stirred an uproar among the students.
Looking at the gorgeous reporter in front of him, Zachary asked, "May I know what is the interview about?" He really couldn't think of anything that was worth interviewing him for.
"Mr. Ching, you attended Maxwell Sue's birthday party last night. I have something to talk to you about."
After saying that, Lauren winked at Zachary. She was so charming that Zachary had butterflies in his stomach.
"The birthday party last night?" Zachary looked at Lauren and nodded his head gently. "Well, what do you want to ask about?"
"Mr. Ching, this is not a good place for an interview," Lauren glanced at the crowd behind her and raised her eyebrows at Zachary slightly.
He had to admit that this young woman was really seductive. Every single move she made could arouse any man.
"Let's go to another place then. There should be no one in the mid-lake pavilion," Zachary packed up his schoolbag and walked out.
The onlookers rushed out of the library with them and went to the mid-lake pavilion.
There was indeed no one in the mid-lake pavilion, but there was a large number of students following them. Lauren had to request the security guards of the school to prevent the students from interrupting them. "Miss Lim, you can start the interview now," Zachary leaned against the railing as he sat down.
"Zachary, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Sister Lim. Do you mind if I call you Zachary?"
Lauren sat down on the seat opposite him. She crossed her long legs with her body leaning forward slightly. Zachary felt his heart flutter when he saw her half-exposed breasts accidentally.
A beauty always had the advantage. Anything she said would make others delighted.
Zachary agreed to her question and queried, "What do you want to ask me?"
The interview went straight to the point. Lauren showed her professionalism, "If I'm not mistaken, you gave Master Sue a medicine paste at his birthday party last night. It seemed that a lot of people liked your paste." "Sister Lim, you are indeed a reporter. You are so well-informed," Zachary complimented her. "The paste is known as refining ointment. I formulated it myself."
"It's your own formulation?" Lauren caught the main point. She signaled the cameraman behind her to take a closer shot of Zachary's expression.
"What's the special effect of this refining ointment? Many guests were interested in your paste. I even heard that a nail-sized refining ointment was sold at 200, 000 yuan after the banquet," Lauren continued. "The main effect of the refining ointment is to strengthen the human body."
"To what extent can the paste strengthen the body?" Lauren added quickly, "Is it like how you cured Master Sue's illness last night?"
Zachary shook his head, "Master Sue's illness is due to the disorder of his Qi. Stabilizing Qi is just a subsidiary effect of the refining ointment. The main effect is strengthening the body."
After a pause, Zachary explained, "Let's put it this way. An ordinary adult can fight with four or five people alone if the adult persists in taking the refining ointment for one month." "Defeat four or five people?" Lauren's eyes lit up.
"You can put it in that way," Zachary nodded his head. He didn't brag at all. He even tried to tone down the effect of the refining ointment because he was afraid that people would find it to be too exaggerating.
After talking about the refining ointment and the birthday party, Lauren quizzed about Zachary's personal information and made a detailed record. She stood up and reached out her hand for a handshake, saying with a smile, "Zachary, this interview will be broadcasted in the evening news on the TV. Is that okay?"
"What if I don't allow it?" Zachary chuckled. He was not used to being under the spotlight.
Lauren paused. She raised her eyebrows and smiled mischievously, "That's too late. The interview has been completed, and I will still broadcast it."
"Haha!" Zachary laughed. He knew that this interview was to promote him and his refining ointment. It could also promote Chinese medicine indirectly. It would be good to attract everyone's attention and promote their trust in Chinese medicine.
Thinking of this, Zachary said, "Thank you, Sister Lim."
"How are you going to thank me?" Lauren winked charmingly.
"Uh..."
"It's getting late now. Why don't you treat me to lunch?" Lauren leaned towards Zachary and smirked. The fragrance on her body wafted into Zachary's nose, driving him into a daze.
"Okay," Zachary said. He had no way to refuse her at all.
"Mr. Wong, you can leave to edit the video. I'd like to get a better understanding of the interviewee. This would be good for the overall report."
Lauren instructed the cameraman. Then, she walked side by side with Zachary. The crowd was jealous when they saw them being so intimate.
Zachary took Lauren to the cafeteria in the school under the stares of the crowd. They ordered two sets of simple dishes and two glasses of orange juice before getting a seat.
Many onlookers sighed and envied Zachary. He invited the most beautiful reporter in Ludington City to a meal in the cafeteria. He also treated her to the cheapest set meal. However, Miss Lim did not mind at all. This was simply too... Zachary ignored everyone else. The reason why he wanted to have a meal in the cafeteria was that it was convenient as the cafeteria was near the library. Also, Zachary was low on money.
It would probably cost one or two hundred yuan for a meal if they had their meal at a low-end restaurant. This was a big cost for Zachary, who was from a poor family.
Fortunately, Lauren, who was sitting opposite Zachary, did not seem to mind at all. She was eating while chatting with him happily.
