Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Gu Annan, Thank You
She didn’t know Qiao Moran, and her plethora of questions were purely for work, but clearly Qiao Moran didn’t regard her as a journalist.
He was sparse with words, yet answered every question without the slightest guard up. Lu Wanwan felt that if she turned around and betrayed him, she would be utterly unprincipled.
Lu Wanwan needed money, desperately, but she could not deceive.
“Alright.”
Lu Wanwan: …
Qiao Moran’s notorious reticence was sothing she had heard about, even leading to nurous rumors about him being a prima donna and conceited.
...
Now she truly understood that it wasn’t him being haughty, it was just the way he was.
“But I should clarify, Mr. Qiao, when I asked you all those questions, it wasn’t out of personal curiosity, but for my job. I’m sorry, Mr. Qiao, I’m an entertainnt journalist, perhaps the type you dislike the most. But don’t worry, I have principles and limits, and I won’t publish anything without your consent.”
Zhao Chen couldn’t help but comnd Miss Lu, not so much for her principles, but because she made the crucial point clear, so the BOSS wouldn’t misunderstand. The shift from ‘Music God’ to ‘Mr. Qiao’ also imdiately created a distance.
“It’s okay, Miss Lu, young master Qiao is very easy-going, he doesn’t mind. Rest assured, if sothing can’t be published, he won’t answer it.”
Cheers of victory from a ga echoed from Qiao Moran’s phone, and he also humd in response.
“Does that an all the responses you just gave are okay to publish?” Lu Wanwan probed.
“Yes.”
Lu Wanwan imdiately got to the point, “Mr. Qiao, you haven’t released any music for two years and suddenly recorded a single track, does this an you are planning a coback?”
It was at this question that Qiao Moran finally paused, instead of the unthinking replies he had been giving.
Lu Wanwan waited quietly.
“No,” a scattered, chilly voice ca from beside him; Gu Annan spoke for him, “He’s not coming back.”
Retiring from the entertainnt industry?
Was Qiao Moran planning to retire from the entertainnt industry?
No, no, that wasn’t what she was concerned about.
The point was, did she now have firsthand news of Qiao Moran’s retirent from the entertainnt industry?
“Mr. Qiao, is this true?”
Qiao Moran quickly regained his earlier rhythm, “Yes.”
“Then you must be planning to hold a press conference to announce it, right? When will it be announced?”
“Next Wednesday.”
“So, if I publish this news beforehand, would it affect you? I could phrase it as a speculation.”
“No problem.”
With the affirmative response, Lu Wanwan finally confird that she truly had firsthand information, and there were four days until the press conference.
By the ti this headline hit the press, it would be just in ti for the eve of the press conference.
All of this ca so smoothly, she could hardly believe it.
But thinking back, although she didn’t know why Qiao Moran had suddenly gone silent, if it hadn’t been for Gu Annan’s interjection, the following questions wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
So, was Gu Annan helping her?
After Qiao Moran got out of the car, Lu Wanwan glanced at Gu Annan, who was sitting by the car window. His eyes were deep, as profound as the ocean.
“Gu Annan, thank you for just now,” she mustered her courage to thank him.
Gu Annan sat back lazily, legs crossed, gaze still looking out the window. His voice was low and detached, “It’s none of your business. I was just helping him make up his mind when he hesitated.”
