Chapter 168: Attack from All Sides

The secretary handed the phone to Luo Chen excitedly. After Luo Chen took it, he listened to the other party’s silent breathing and felt a little strange.
“You’re Mr. Luo?”
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long. The other party quickly spoke.
His voice wasn’t loud and was a little hoarse. He sounded like a very mature man. If he stood in front of him, he would be the kind of person who looked dignified without any emotion.
“Yes.”
Luo Chen replied dryly.
He had yet to recover from the fear of being blocked by the reporters. He naturally did not have a good impression of these media people.
“Alright, when is it convenient for you? We can come and interview you.”
The editor-in-chief of Financials said decisively, not even giving him any room to refuse.
Moreover, in the editor-in-chief’s opinion, they’re the mighty magazine Financials!
Many people begged their grandfathers and grandmothers to occupy a small column on their magazine, but they did not have a chance at all.
Now that he had taken the initiative to interview Luo Chen, even if the Luo Corporation was in the limelight now, they still felt that they were flocking to him.
“All, we’re going to have a meeting to discuss this. If possible, I’ll give you a definite answer next week.”
Luo Chen was silent for a moment before saying helplessly.
He had already noticed the agitated gazes of the secretary and Zhao Ruoshuang. It seemed that the two women thought that Luo Chen did not need to hesitate at all and could agree directly.
After all, there were not many opportunities to appear in Financials. Some people did not even have the honor of appearing in Financials.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be afraid that the other party would go back on their word if they agreed too late.
Such a precedent had happened before.
A few years ago, Financials wanted to interview a young talent, but unfortunately, that person was ignorant and incompetent. He did not know the influence of Financials in the business circle at all, so he spoke very rudely to the staff of the magazine.
He even harassed the female reporter.
In the end, that person occupied the front page of the current Financials magazine as he wished. However, the magazine wrote about the things he had hidden behind the scenes all these years.
Later on, this person disappeared from the entire business world.
One could imagine how influential Financials was.
In the end, the editor-in-chief personally called Luo Chen to say that he wanted to interview him, but Luo Chen still hesitated!
“Why don’t you give them a definite reply this afternoon?”
Zhao Ruoshuang asked tentatively.
“We’ll see. There are so many things to do recently that I might not have time. Moreover, 1 really don’t want to deal with the reporters anymore.”
Luo Chen was silent for a moment before smiling bitterly.
Perhaps others would be very excited after receiving such an invitation, but Luo Chen’s goal from the beginning to the end was to quickly complete all the missions and then go and indulge in life.
As for developing his own business empire…
He really did not have such ambitions.
Recently, because of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, it had caused him enough trouble. If it was published in a magazine and his reputation fermented further, there would probably be even more things to deal with in the future.
Just thinking about it made him feel very tired.
“No, this is a huge opportunity! It can even bring our company to a higher level!”
Zhao Ruoshuang could roughly understand what Luo Chen was thinking, and her tone immediately became a little anxious.
“But…”
“There are no buts. For the sake of the company, you should accept this interview. Otherwise, if others find out, they will think that you don’t even care about Financials. It will only have the opposite effect.”
Zhao Ruoshuang pulled a long face in front of Luo Chen and said word by word.
At this point, Luo Chen also understood that Zhao Ruoshuang was determined to take this opportunity to give the entire company room to develop.
After thinking about it, he was still a Vice President after all. It seemed reasonable for him to do something for the company.
“Alright, I’ll give them a response in the afternoon. But what about the reporters outside? 1 still want to go to the construction site to take a look.”
Luo Chen finally compromised and said helplessly.
It was really not a small challenge to walk out safely under the siege of those reporters.
When he went upstairs, he could quietly use the internal passageway to avoid being blocked at the door. However, if he wanted to go to the construction site, he had to use the underground parking lot.
Now, the entire office building was surrounded and there was no way to leave.
“It’s fine. I’ll keep an eye on them for you first. 1 reckon their interest won’t last long.”
Zhao Ruoshuang said with experience.
It was not like she had never experienced such a thing before. Business news had never attracted much attention. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before those reporters forgot about this news.
The premise was that Luo Chen had to persevere and could not give any response.
“I’ll have to trouble you then.”
Luo Chen could only compromise.
After Zhao Ruoshuang left, Luo Chen stood up and leaned against the window to look at the enthusiastic reporters below.
Suddenly, he frowned slightly.
There were clearly hundreds of people downstairs. Looking down from the office, it was basically a sea of heads.
But at that moment, Luo Chen felt a very prying gaze.
That gaze was a little too persistent and carried indescribable malice, causing Luo Chen to instinctively become vigilant.
However, when he was about to distinguish it carefully, he realized that it was an impossible mission.
There were too many people!
From this angle, it was impossible to tell who had looked up and met his eyes just now.
“Are these really all reporters?”
Luo Chen turned to look at the secretary.
“Huh? Of course. You don’t know this, but the calls from our public relations department this morning have already exploded. They’re all here to interview you.
Fortunately, the security of our office building is not bad. Those reporters can be considered to be following the rules. If they all rushed in at all costs, I’m afraid you really won’t be able to work.”
The secretary teased with a smile, still busy sorting out the information.
With the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, her work became much busier.
However, the salary Luo Chen gave her was completely worthy of this work intensity.
“Looks like everyone has to endure a little during this period of time. 1 wonder when we can go over.”
Luo Chen smiled bitterly.
“By the way, Young Master, 1 also received an invitation today that specified that it was for you. Do you think you’re interested in this auction?”
The secretary slapped his forehead and handed over the invitation on the table.
Luo Chen took it and realized that it was a jewelry auction.
He often attended such auctions, but the name of the company in charge of this auction looked a little familiar..
