Chapter 6: Mr. Xie

Lin Xuan, who didn't know she had been labeled a nice guy, walked out of the ward briskly but didn't leave immediately.

Instead, he went to the only ward on the entire floor that had people in it.

She knocked on the door politely.

"Come in."

Only after hearing the slightly old voice coming from inside did Lin Xuan push the door open.

An old man who looks to be over 60, with messy hair and wearing a hospital gown, is sitting on the bed holding a tablet in both hands.
Different from the confident and relaxed performance in front of Hua Si, Lin Xuan stood politely in front of the old man's bed, like a primary school student reporting his homework to the teacher.

"I just went to see Prisoner 7077, and she agreed to participate in the experiment."

The old man frowned as he looked at the young evolver on the tablet who was putting on makeup and winking at him.

Confusion and disgust are about to overflow from every pore of my body.

The old man didn't look up.

He asked, "Is it the girl that the Fu family kid sent in?"

"Yes, he is the one who saved Fu Chenyue's life and was sent here because he damaged a pseudo-supernatural item."

"Shame on you! You're ruining my reputation again!"

The old man's sudden scolding made Lin Xuan stunned for a moment.

However, come to think of it, what the Fu family did was indeed not fair.

A pseudo-supernatural item.

It's not really an extraordinary item. As long as the compensation is in place, can the council still sue?

How can an ordinary person who doesn't even have a high school diploma and has a criminal record find a job in the future?
Is the Fu family's way of repaying a favor to ruin someone's life?
Lin Xuan agreed, "It's really shameless. The Fu family is like this now. I don't know how the Fu family will treat her after she is released from prison. She almost died, and Fu Chenyue didn't even show up."

The old man half-took off his silver-rimmed glasses.

A pair of bright eyes stared at Lin Xuan with vigor and vigor, "I was talking about the Star News, what are you talking about? Could it be that the Fu family is also trying to ruin my reputation outside?"

That's not right!

Occasionally, there will be a few people with brain damage in a noble family.

But Fu Chenyue is definitely not among them.

As long as the noble family has not gone crazy, no one will dance in front of him.

Lin Xuan was a little embarrassed: "I thought you were talking about Prisoner 7077. She was arrested because of the rules you set when you were in the Council, which prohibited anyone from damaging the Council's property in any form. In the end, this rule was detailed and expanded into the Alliance Constitution, so she was arrested..."

The old man just stared at Lin Xuan.

She was frightened by the stare and her voice became smaller and smaller until she completely lost the courage to speak.

After a long while, the old man sighed and said, "Xiao Xuan, am I not good to you?"

Lin Xuan quickly expressed her loyalty nervously: "You are the best to me. I regard you as my grandfather. Right now, you are the only one I want to take care of in my old age!"

The old man choked.

But Lin Xuan spoke in a serious tone.

Obviously, they regard caring for others in their old age and seeing them to the end of their lives as the highest expression of their emotions.

The old man did not directly reject Lin Xuan's kindness.

But he didn't really want to accept it: "I'm already taking care of myself, I don't need you. As for my funeral, I don't need you for the time being. Why don't you give me something else while I'm still alive? You see, Xiao Shao never comes empty-handed every time he comes."

Following the old man's gaze, Lin Xuan saw the exquisite gift box on the small coffee table and the small logo on the gift box.

I feel like my heart is bleeding.

Is the Wushan tea from the depths of the peaceful battlefield something she can afford to give as a gift?
Her courage, which had just died, was instantly revived!
"Thank you, Grandpa. You and Uncle Shao only see each other once every two or three months, and we only see each other once every three or two days. I can't afford to send you off even if I want to!"

"You can't afford it, so you just give me a big black pot? Is it that my monthly pot is not enough for you? Now you want to put any pot on my head!"

Lin Xuan didn’t know how to answer the first question.

But she heard the last two questions, and the Star newspaper took its anger out on her again!

However, she knows how to do this question.

I stole a glance at the news headlines on my tablet.

Good guy!
"X, the top evolutionary warrior of humanity, is suspected of having an eight-year-old illegitimate child!"

This is really bold!
The Star staff knows the traffic code.

The number of people who can be openly called the top combat power of mankind can be counted on one hand. The term "giant" means that they have a strong social influence. Add an X and just say thank you for your old ID card!

Very distinct Star style.

This can be considered as an invisible benefit for employees. After all, what company's employees can so blatantly make up gossip about their boss?
The writing is very detailed and has eyes and nose.

Lin Xuan knows the details of the long text below without even reading it. It is very thorough in details and the content is described comprehensively.

I feel like I would never have been able to write this if I hadn’t been lying under Mr. Xie’s bed all year round.

But this time it seems a bit too much.

Is it reasonable that Mr. Xie, a nearly 100-year-old man, has an eight-year-old illegitimate child?

In terms of the physique of an evolver.

Reasonable!

But Lin Xuan can’t say that your employees are praising you in disguise for being in good health despite your old age!
She had no choice but to reorganize her words and use the same words her senior brother used to comfort Mr. Xie:

"This is also for traffic and subscriptions. Without you taking the lead, how could the Star News be as big as it is today? It has become the media with the most subscribers in the alliance and is popular among the majority of Evolvers and ordinary people. And you said that if you want to sell real and profound content, you have to add some entertainment gossip to it."

Lin Xuan looked at Mr. Xie's expression and continued to add key reasons:
"It was you who said that only when you were on the Star and became the topic of conversation for everyone, more people would dare to speak out and write more truthful reports. Besides, you also get a share of the traffic from your gossip articles every month."

Like every time before.

After hearing these words, Mr. Xie became a peaceful old man again.

"I remember that you seem to be a non-staff member of the Star Newspaper, right? Well, let me give you a task. When the kid from the Fu family comes tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will go and talk to him on behalf of the Star Newspaper to see if he is willing to sign our entertainment section?"

As soon as Xie Laogang was flattered, he immediately started to attract business for his own company and discuss cooperation, which was an unusual behavior.

Lin Xuan was not surprised.

But let her talk to Fu Chenyue and ask him if he wants to become a permanent guest on the gossip and entertainment section of the league's largest media?
Will the other party agree?
"Thank you, Grandpa. There is a difference between non-staff and non-staff. I am a non-staff reporter and a freelance writer, not a non-staff salesperson. It's not appropriate for me to talk about this, right?"

Her main job is obviously a researcher.

Or a researcher who is about to lead an important project!

"Why is it inappropriate? Didn't you just successfully blackmail me?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan felt a little embarrassed.

Mr. Xie ignored Lin Xuan's blushing face and continued to give advice:

"When Fu Chenyue comes, you should look him in the eye sincerely and talk to him about the original intention of founding our Star Newspaper and where the profits of the Star Newspaper have gone over the years. Then, like just now, tell him the deep-seated reasons why I, as the boss, would take my share of the gossip. Raise the purpose and talk to him more about feelings."

"But most of the Star's profits go to charity. Isn't that known to everyone after you publicized it?"

Mr. Xie said unhappily, "How can hearing something you heard be the same as hearing the person involved talk about it?"

"Then you are obviously more suitable than me." Lin Xuan couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"Me!" Old Xie pointed at his nose. "An old father of an eight-year-old child, a top fighter among human evolutionists, with sixty, seventy, eighty, or ninety children, successful and well-known, with a happy life, still has to negotiate such a small business with young people. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Lin Xuan really wanted to nod and say it was appropriate.

Under the pressure of S-level, nothing can't be negotiated.

Unless, the opponent is also S-level.

Elder Xie saw through Lin Xuan's thoughts at a glance: "Xiao Xuan, why are you still so hypocritical? I asked you to knock the girl unconscious and bring her into the lab, but you said you should go through the normal process first and set high standards for yourself. But when it comes to me, you can only use your power to overwhelm others. Am I some evil old man in your eyes?"

Lin Xuan really wanted to have a good talk with Mr. Xie.

But when the words came to his lips, he avoided the question of Mr. Xie: "I promised 7077 that I would help contact Fu Chenyue, but he may not come. Even if he comes and talks his mouth off, what should I do if Fu Chenyue still doesn't agree?"

After all, not everyone can be like the person in front of him, without the burden and pressure of family.

You can completely disregard your reputation.

Do whatever you want.

"The boy from the Fu family went to the Peace Battlefield. Tell him about the girl's situation. Even if it's just for the sake of face, he will come. As for his refusal, I have an idea for you..."

The old man and the young boy whispered to each other for a long time.

Of course, it was mainly Mr. Xie who was muttering, and Lin Xuan was nodding and listening, but her expression was quite complicated.

After saying that, Mr. Xie looked at the time.

"Okay, do as I say. Prepare two contracts immediately. While the girl is still hot-headed, trick her into signing both. Alas, this place is not peaceful either. I'd better go back to Ward 8 and watch them fight."

Lin Xuan: "..."

Are you sure it's not your conscience that's making you want to avoid what's next?

After all, the idea was really shameless.

And you are an S-class top human fighter. Is it really okay for you to scheme against an ordinary girl like this?
