Chapter 963: The ‘Empty Spaces’ Interview thod Once Again
Xia Jiang sorted out the contents of the interview first once she was back at the hotel.
The content of the interview with Wu Zhicheng in Beijing was almost done. It should be released within a few days after they add on Qiu Hong’s part.
However, Xia Jiang could not focus her attention on the content of the interview. Instead, she could not help but want to pay attention to the ‘mysterious person’ behind the incubation base.
After having initial doubts about the identity of this mysterious person, Xia Jiang sorted out all sorts of clues, such as the ga list for the incubation base, the computer equipnt used for the incubation base, the Fish-Catching Take-Out that they usually ate, the Deposit Fitness...
Coupled with the unique atmosphere of the incubation base, she was certain that the mysterious investor was Boss Pei!
After all, Tengda Corporation’s working environnt was so unique. It was like a firefly in the night, unforgettable.
Wu Zhicheng and the other independent ga designers had not been to Tengda and had not seen Tengda’s working environnt. Thus, they could not guess it. However, Xia Jiang had seen Tengda’s working environnt and had done interviews with many companies. A company with an environnt like Tengda could be said to be unique. It left a deep impression on her.
“If the incubation base was really funded by Boss Pei, then Boss Pei’s actions would be akin to a role model and the savior of dostically-produced gas.”
“Could Boss Pei be the light of dostically-produced independent gas?”
“Boss Pei has done so much, but we have not expressed anything. I’m really ashad.”
“How should I help Boss Pei? I can’t let good people shed blood and tears.”
“Arrange an interview for Boss Pei?”
“Hmm... not very good.”
Xia Jiang wanted to do sothing with her ager strength.
It was the official platform’s duty to support the developnt of dostically-produced independent gas after all. However, due to various complicated reasons, the official platform did not have the ability to support all independent ga designers.
On the other hand, Boss Pei was an outsider who had nothing to do with it. He had already contributed to the developnt of dostically-produced gas by creating so many outstanding gas. Now, he had to ‘bring wealth before wealth’. He had to do his best to help independent ga designers with poor conditions. That was equivalent to greatly helping the official platform.
It would be too chilling if the official platform did not express anything!
Xia Jiang’s first reaction was to arrange an interview for Boss Pei. This was her job after all.
However, she quickly dispelled that thought. That was because Boss Pei was a very low-profile person to begin with. He had barely accepted to write a script during the interview and did not even want to show his face. This incubation base was kept completely secret and he did not intend to let anyone know.
If Xia Jiang went to interview Boss Pei, she would most likely be rejected. She was not such an insensible person.
“In that case, I’ll apply for more recomndation spots for gas related to the ‘Destitution Plan’.”
“‘Black Ink and Clouds’ is about to be released. We can add it to the compilation of ‘classic dostic gas’.”
“‘Dostic Classic Gas Collection’ seems to be an event with Tengda and the official platform as well? Hmm... the recomndation spots are the best within the scope of authority but I think I can extend the ti.”
“But then again, I can’t make the decision. Even if I report it to my colleagues, it’s hard to say if they’ll approve it.”
“Should we... interview soone else?”
Xia Jiang thought of several ways, but she was only an editor-in-chief after all. Recomndation spots were not within her scope of authority. She could make suggestions, but they might not be approved.
Thus, Xia Jiang felt that she could interview soone else.
It was just like the interview with Tengda previously. It did not give Boss Pei much screen ti but the interview with the other employees of Tengda still perfectly brought out the protagonist, Boss Pei!
The question was, who should she interview?
Xia Jiang also kept the contact details of a few Tengda employees. However, according to what she knew, the old employees that she had interviewed back then had basically been promoted to beco departnt heads. Most of them were no longer working in Tengda Gas.
There was nothing much to interview if one wasn’t in the gaming departnt. After all, the official platform only focused on the ga.
Xia Jiang looked through her contacts for a long ti and finally decided to call Bao Xu.
He was a veteran of Tengda. He should have a wide network and should understand the situation in the gas departnt. It would be right to look for him.
...
At that mont, Bao Xu was wearing a safety helt and inspecting the construction site of the food market with Liang Qingfan.
The renovation work of the entire snack market was in full swing. Liang Qingfan ca every day to guide the work.
In fact, Bao Xu was still an employee of the gaming departnt but he was actually very free to co to the snack market to help out. He could co and go as he pleased.
However, Bao Xu still ca here every day. The main reason was that he did not want to leave the impression to his colleagues in the gas departnt that he had nothing better to do. Otherwise, he would be called out to accompany them during the next Outstanding Employee Selection.
In any case, Liang Qingfan would not chase him away. Bao Xu continued to hang around, occasionally offering his own views from the ga’s perspective.
Sotis Liang Qingfan would accept it, and sotis he would not. However, Bao Xu did not care. He had nothing to do anyway, so he just wanted to make his presence known.
Everything went smoothly after walking around.
At that mont, Bao Xu’s cell phone rang.
“The chief editor of the official platform, Xia Jiang?”
Bao Xu could not help but be stunned when he saw the caller ID. It had been a long ti since the interview. If not for the caller ID in his contact list, he would not have rembered who this person was.
Bao Xu picked it up imdiately.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xia Jiang asked Bao Xu about Tengda Gas. However, she did not expect Bao Xu to not be in charge of the gaming departnt for the ti being. Thus, she asked for Hu Xianbin’s number.
After hanging up, Bao Xu was a little puzzled.
“Chief Editor Xia, can’t you just look for Boss Pei directly? Why did you co to in a roundabout way?”
However, Bao Xu did not pay much attention to it. He continued to follow Liang Qingfan to work on the snack market.
...
After calling Bao Xu, Xia Jiang called the current person-in-charge of Tengda Gas, Hu Xianbin, to understand the situation.
She asked about the ‘classic dostically-produced gas collection’ in detail.
“The plan for this classic dostically-produced ga collection was not Boss Pei’s idea but the new head of the marketing departnt, ng Chang’s idea?”
“This ng Chang is actually the ng Chang who bankrupted the Cold-Faced Lady previously...”
After understanding this information, Xia Jiang suddenly found a perfect candidate for the interview.
Wouldn’t it be perfect to interview ng Chang?
From a certain perspective, ng Chang seed to be the sa type of person as Qiu Hong. There were many similarities, but ng Chang’s situation was much more complicated than Qiu Hong’s.
Why did ng Chang choose to join Tengda after failing to create the Cold-Faced Lady and also start to work on the publicity of dostically-produced gas?
Xia Jiang still rembered the Tengda employees that she had interviewed previously, including Huang Sibo, Bao Xu, and the others. They all had one thing in common: they were basically all grassroots. So were basic ga designers who earned one or two thousand yuan a month, while others were internet addicts who frequented internet cafes.
When these people joined Tengda, the company was still in its initial stages. Under Boss Pei’s nurturing, they all beca Tengda’s pillars.
After Tengda expanded, Boss Pei seed to have cast his sights on people like Qiu Hong and ng Chang, who had achieved certain results in the related fields but had gone astray. He wanted to recruit them for his own use.
Did this an that Boss Pei’s way of using people had changed as the company developed?
Xia Jiang imdiately decided to interview ng Chang!
What’s more, she had also thought about how to help Boss Pei.
She would first release the exclusive interview about the incubation base and Qiu Hong. Then, she would publicize the release of Black Ink and Clouds.
Then, she would upload ng Chang’s interview and publicize the story behind the “classic dostically-produced ga collection”.
In the end, she would add “Black Ink and Clouds” into the “classic dostically-produced ga collection”, maxing out the hints!
If the two interviews were separated, gars might not realize anything. However, if the two interviews were released one after another and Black Ink and Clouds joined the compilation, gars would definitely be able to get this hint, right?
Xia Jiang did not have direct evidence to prove that the investor behind the incubation base was Boss Pei. What’s more, Boss Pei was a low-profile person. It would be inappropriate to directly point it out.
However, Xia Jiang could use this thod to hint. It was up to the players to understand.
“Hmm, that would be the best I can do!”
The more Xia Jiang thought about it, the more perfect she felt the plan was. She imdiately decided to call Tengda’s marketing departnt and ask for an exclusive interview.
...
Tengda Corporation’s marketing departnt.
ng Chang was dumbfounded when he received Xia Jiang’s call.
“You are the chief editor of the official platform?”
“You want to interview ?”
ng Chang fell into silence and felt a little conflicted after receiving an affirmative answer.
Should he accept the interview or not?
Logically speaking, ng Chang had no reason to reject her.
The reporters from the official platform wanted to do an exclusive interview and post it on the live-stream platform to help promote the “classic dostically-produced ga” episode. It was equivalent to giving ng Chang’s marketing plan a free boost in popularity. How could they reject it in the eyes of outsiders?
However, ng Chang knew that the more popular this thing was, the lower his commission was!
Moreover, ng Chang did not want to be too ostentatious.
He was in Tengda Gas and working under Boss Pei after all. Strictly speaking, he was living under soone else’s roof. In order to repay the huge debt he had to bear as soon as possible, he had no choice but to lower his head.
In fact, ng Chang had no interest in promoting classic dostically-produced gas at all. He had no respect or loyalty for Boss Pei either. He could not wait to ruin Tengda’s businesses and get more commission.
However, it was obvious that Xia Jiang had misunderstood. The entire interview had to revolve around ‘prodigal son turning back’ and ‘returning from the wrong path’. How could ng Chang withstand that?
When he thought about the questions Xia Jiang wanted to ask, ng Chang felt uncomfortable all over.
Of course, with ng Chang’s eloquence and acting skills, it would not be a problem if he was just putting on a show. However, he still felt awkward.
He could not accept it, but he would look very stiff if he rejected it directly.
After much consideration, ng Chang said, “Chief Editor Xia, it’s like this. I’m too busy with work even though I really want to accept this interview!”
“How about you interview the other core employees of our departnt?”
ng Chang did not want to let go of the popularity of this interview, but he did not want to do it himself. He could only push it to the other people in the departnt.
Without interviewing the person in question, the interview this ti would definitely not be popular and would not affect ng Chang’s plan. At the sa ti, it would not embarrass the official platform.
Xia Jiang was silent for a mont. Obviously, she found it a pity that she couldn’t interview ng Chang directly.
However, after so thought, she still said, “Alright, then arrange to interview the others in your departnt. I hope that you can cooperate with us when the ti cos.”
ng Chang was very happy. “Alright, Chief Editor Xia, don’t worry!”
Xia Jiang hung up the phone and thought to herself, It looks like the ’empty spaces’ technique’ in the interview they used on Boss Pei previously would be put to use again!
