423: Interview

Later, Wang Ziyan couldn't help but want to contact Lin Zifeng, yet she couldn't let go of her feminine reserve. So when Li Yanran called her, she agreed without hesitation.

She had rushed to Yushu City early this morning just to catch a glimpse of the figure she thought of day and night.

However, in such a setting, they didn't even have a chance to greet each other. Thus, after the groundbreaking ceremony ended, she had been waiting for Lin Zifeng to contact her.

Seeing that Lin Zifeng actually did contact her, she felt happy, but at the same time, an endless sense of grievance welled up in her heart.

After reading the message from Wang Ziyan, Lin Zifeng guessed her general state of mind and immediately replied to her.

"There is no high or low when it comes to feelings. It's my fault, okay? When I called you before, your tone was like that... I was afraid of touching upon something you didn't want to deal with, so I held back from contacting you.

Where are you now? I want to see you right away."

"At least you know how to talk. I'm with two of my colleagues right now! We're resting in the RV. Yanran wanted me to go to her place to rest, but I didn't go; I plan to head over tonight.

We just contacted your Municipal Party Committee's Propaganda Department. We want to do an exclusive interview with you, so don't refuse.

Once we finish the task assigned by our director, my colleagues will head straight back to the Provincial Capital.

Our director promised to give me a few days off, so I can stay in Yushu City to have some fun for a few days."

Seeing Wang Ziyan's reply, Lin Zifeng quickly responded.

"I've never accepted an exclusive interview before, but to help you finish your task and let you stay in Yushu City for a few days, I'll just have to make an exception."

The reason Lin Zifeng said this was partly to intentionally please Wang Ziyan.

He knew Wang Ziyan was a reporter for the Provincial TV Station's Finance Channel and also covered breaking news. An exclusive interview by the Finance Channel would be very effective for promoting Yushu City and the Film and Television City.

So even if it were any other reporter, he would have accepted the interview.

"At least you have a conscience. See you this afternoon." Wang Ziyan sent this message, accompanied by a cute emoji.

Lin Zifeng sent an OK emoji and put down his phone.

Not long after, there was a light knock on the door. Lin Zifeng got out of bed, went to the door, and opened the lounge door.

Wang Zhongyu appeared before him and said somewhat apologetically, "Secretary, Minister Ouyang from the Propaganda Department has some work to report to you.

I saw that Minister Ouyang was in a bit of a hurry, so I had to come and report to you."

"It's fine, work comes first. Have Minister Ouyang wait for two minutes; I'll just wash up briefly and come out."

Lin Zifeng waved his hand and turned to walk into the washroom.

Wang Zhongyu acknowledged and turned to leave.

After a quick wash, Lin Zifeng walked out into the outer Office.

In less than half a minute, there was a knock on the Office door. Lin Zifeng called out for them to enter, and Wang Zhongyu pushed open the door, stepping aside to make a 'please' gesture to Ouyang Huahua beside him.

"Minister Ouyang, please come in."

Ouyang Huahua nodded with a smile to express her thanks and strode inside.

Lin Zifeng went to meet her. As they shook hands, Ouyang Huahua said, "Hello, Secretary. I have an urgent matter to report, which is why I asked Director Wang to announce me."

"Minister Ouyang, please sit and talk!" Lin Zifeng made a 'please' gesture and took a seat on the sofa first.

Although Lin Zifeng had guessed what Ouyang Huahua wanted to report, he still waited for her to speak first after sitting down.

Once seated, Ouyang Huahua said, "Secretary, it's like this. The reporters from the Provincial TV Station's Finance Channel who were interviewing at the groundbreaking ceremony today would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you.

The reporters are waiting outside now. I've come to ask for your instructions. Whether or not to accept the interview is for you to decide. What do you think? Will you accept?"

"The Provincial TV Station's Finance Channel is very influential. Accepting their exclusive interview, using the groundbreaking ceremony of the Film and Television City as an opportunity, will help promote our Yushu City better and provide a boost for the Film and Television City's publicity.

Agree to it! I'll accept their interview right here in the Office."

Lin Zifeng deliberately hesitated for a moment before making the decision.

Hearing Lin Zifeng's decision, Ouyang Huahua was secretly delighted. She also wanted Lin Zifeng to accept the interview, but she hadn't dared to make the decision for him.

So, hearing him agree, Ouyang Huahua said happily, "Alright, Secretary. I'll arrange for someone to bring our reporter friends over right away."

After saying this, Ouyang Huahua stood up, shook hands with Lin Zifeng to bid farewell, and left in a hurry.

Wang Zhongyu looked at Lin Zifeng and said, "Secretary, I'll go coordinate with Minister Ouyang. Do you have any other instructions? Since you're accepting the interview in the Office, does the Office need to be rearranged?"

"No need, it's fine as it is. Go ahead and coordinate with Minister Ouyang!"

Lin Zifeng waved his hand and said.

Wang Zhongyu acknowledged and quickly left the Office as well.

Lin Zifeng sat in his Office, reading documents while waiting for Wang Ziyan and the others to arrive.

In less than half an hour, footsteps sounded in the hallway. Knowing that Wang Ziyan and the others had arrived, he stood up.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lin Zifeng called out for them to enter, and Wang Zhongyu pushed open the Office door.

Led by Ouyang Huahua, Wang Ziyan and her two companions walked in. Lin Zifeng went to meet them.

"Secretary, let me introduce you."

Just as Ouyang Huahua started to introduce Wang Ziyan to Lin Zifeng, she was interrupted by Lin Zifeng reaching out.

"Minister Ouyang, there's no need for an introduction. Reporter Wang and I are not only old acquaintances but also good friends.

I didn't expect that the reporter sent by the provincial station would be Ms. Wang Ziyan."

"Oh, then this exclusive interview will go even more smoothly," Ouyang Huahua said with some surprise.

Lin Zifeng nodded with a smile, reached out to Wang Ziyan, and said, "Ziyan, since you came to Yushu City, why didn't you call me in advance?"

While shaking hands with Lin Zifeng, Wang Ziyan said, "Knowing that the groundbreaking ceremony for the Film and Television City was being held today, and that you, the Municipal Party Secretary of Yushu City, would be busy, how could I have the heart to disturb someone so occupied with a myriad of affairs?"

Wang Ziyan and Lin Zifeng cooperated with perfect chemistry. To others, they appeared to be just friends.

Hearing the conversation between the three, the female assistant and the cameraman behind Wang Ziyan were inwardly shocked. They never expected that Wang Ziyan and Lin Zifeng were friends.

They both felt that Wang Ziyan was too low-key, being such good friends with the Municipal Party Secretary of Yushu City.

Such a young Deputy Department-Level Cadre would surely have a limitless future. Their colleague in front of them had never even mentioned it; she was incredibly tight-lipped! This wasn't something just anyone could do.

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Wang Ziyan's back with gazes full of admiration.

Subsequently, Wang Ziyan introduced her two colleagues to Lin Zifeng, and Lin Zifeng greeted them with a gentle attitude and handshakes.

The three of them made some brief preparations. Once the cameraman had set up the camera, Wang Ziyan prepared to conduct the exclusive interview with Lin Zifeng.

Ouyang Huahua, Wang Zhongyu, and Wang Ziyan's assistant left the Office, leaving only Lin Zifeng and the other two inside.
