Chapter 447: Prepare for Live Broadcast

Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter

When Ye Mo returned to He Feng, it was still early. If Li Chunsheng hadn't been able to use the evidence he'd given him, he wouldn't have waited. He would ask Xiao Lei to make it public as soon as she arrived. There was a significant difference between the media reporting this and Li Chunsheng reporting it himself.

If Li Chunsheng exposed it first, his abilities would be recognized, and many would see him as a mayor who truly worked for the people. If the media reported it first, then him, the impact on his reputation would be less.

…

Xiao Lei had just bought her plane ticket and was waiting at the airport. She knew there would be a press conference in Gui Lin about Luo Yue. If it had been anything else, she would have gone without hesitation; but Ye Mo had asked her out, and she abandoned it without a second thought.

She felt impotent. If only the press conference were a few days later; she could have gotten firsthand news. Furthermore, she planned to go to Flowing Snake and interview people. It seemed she could only go afterward.

There were many flights from Beijing to He Feng, yet Ye Mo didn't have to wait long. He saw Xiao Lei, dressed professionally, walk into the bar.

She didn't seem to think of herself as a journalist that day. She hadn't even brought her interview equipment.

It was 8 a.m., and few people were in the bar. Just as Xiao Lei looked around the nearly empty bar in confusion, a voice called out, “Xiao Lei, this way.”

The moment Xiao Lei saw Ye Mo, her face lit up with surprise and joy. Although she knew she was coming to see him, she was still very happy. She had wanted to ask him out many times but didn't even know his number.

“I came to see you today, but I had to give up huge news,” Xiao Lei said, as if seeking compensation.

“It’s quite significant that the great Reporter Xiao has called off big news. Could you give me some information?” Ye Mo felt more comfortable seeing her than before. Although she was still fond of him, she no longer looked at him the same way. She probably knew he was married.

Xiao Lei smiled. “Of course. I heard this morning that Luo Yue was holding a press conference regarding the beauty pill. They say they'll give everyone a satisfying answer. Do you think that's big news?”

Ye Mo was dazed and said subconsciously, “How come I don’t know?” He immediately thought it was Yu Miaodan’s idea. She must have wanted to make things difficult for Yuan Bei Corporation. But that was good; it could support Xiao Lei’s report.

Xiao Lei covered her mouth and laughed. “I only got the news this morning as well. You’re not in the media industry; how could you know?”

Seeing Ye Mo’s strange smile, Xiao Lei stopped.

“I’m the president of Luo Yue. Don’t you think I should know about it before anyone?” Ye Mo smiled.

Xiao Lei rolled her eyes. “Nice joke. Tell me, what do you need from me today? You’re my lifesaver. One word, and I came from Beijing to He Feng. What do you think? Aren’t I reliable?”

Ye Mo nodded. “Very reliable. But this isn’t the place to talk; let’s get a room. I will—”

“What? Get a room?” Xiao Lei’s smile vanished. She didn’t think Ye Mo was that kind of person; they weren’t even close, and they were already going to get a hotel room together. Wasn’t it absurd? Even if she had a good impression of Ye Mo, he was married. And even if he wasn't, they couldn't do that so soon.

Ye Mo saw Xiao Lei’s face and realized she had misunderstood him. He quickly said, “I don’t mean that. I’m booking a room because some things can’t be said in public. I told you I gathered some evidence, didn’t I? I want you to help me spread it.”

Xiao Lei blushed. What was she thinking? It was too embarrassing.

“You really have Mayor Niu’s—” Xiao Lei stopped subconsciously. She knew she couldn’t say that in public.

Ye Mo nodded and didn’t speak.

Xiao Lei believed Ye Mo was telling the truth. At least, she could tell he wasn’t joking.

“You—Are you really the president of Luo Yue?” Xiao Lei remembered Ye Mo’s words, and her expression froze.

Ye Mo nodded. “Indeed, I’m the president of Luo Yue. Don’t worry; it won’t impede your job. The press conference at Luo Yue is also because of the same recording.”

…

Half an hour later, in a He Feng hotel room, Xiao Lei was completely shocked by Ye Mo’s resources. He had given her a clear and complete set of video recordings. Each one would cause a huge scandal.

Who was Ye Mo truly? She couldn’t even conceive it anymore. Luo Yue was actually his company. They had just been attacked, and he immediately got enough proof to end his enemies. He was too powerful.

Seeing Xiao Lei’s silence, Ye Mo thought she was afraid to expose the news and said, “In fact, I didn’t know my company was holding a press conference. If I did, I wouldn’t have invited you. I’m just afraid that if this gets exposed in Gui Lin, it wouldn’t be as influential as doing it in Beijing.”

“I’ll do it. I’ll immediately notify the people from the channel to come to He Feng. I will do a special report on this matter,” Xiao Lei immediately realized how valuable the news was. If her news channel was the first to report it live, their popularity would certainly increase.

“But—” Xiao Lei hesitated. Reporting Yuan Bei Corporation for framing Luo Yue was fine; but Niu Zhengman’s case couldn’t be made public so easily. She knew it was one of the industry’s taboos.

Ye Mo could tell what Xiao Lei was concerned about. He smiled and said, “Report it however you like; don’t worry. This will also be published in the He Feng Senate, so you don’t need to worry about anything. No one would dare say anything. If you’re lucky, you may get to interview some of He Feng’s leaders and broadcast it live.”

“Okay, if that’s it, then I really have nothing to worry about.” Xiao Lei looked at Ye Mo. She knew he meant he had given the proof to Niu Zhengman’s political enemy.

Ye Mo said, “There should be people investigating the Yuan Family’s underground research base. If your film team can make it in time, perhaps you can also get a live broadcast.”

If Yuan Zhirong had known these would be the consequences of challenging Luo Yue, he perhaps wouldn’t have dared to, even if he had a hundred lives.
