Chapter 1825 Interview

Speaking of children, Yang Cheng felt the need to visit Susu. She was alone in the United States, pregnant with Yang Cheng's child, and it was a cold Christmas. She inevitably felt lonely, although Yang Cheng asked Liu Junyu to accompany her. She, but certainly not as safe as having him around.

So after sending Luo Yue home, he went to Su Su's house on the pretext of discussing company matters with Conrad.

Knocking on the door, she found that it was Liu Junyu who came to open the door. Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you always been here?"

Liu Junyu didn't have a good expression. She let the person in with a snort, picked up her clothes and said to Su Su, "If he comes to accompany you, I will go back first and come back to you tomorrow."

Susu held her hand sheepishly, hoping she wouldn't mind.

Seeing that the two sisters were deeply in love before they separated, Yang Cheng couldn't help but rub his nose and laughed at himself, "It seems that I am the outsider~"

Liu Junyu held her handbag and snorted, "You are an outsider~"

After saying that, he closed the door and walked away. Yang Cheng squatted down, looked at Susu sitting by the bed, and said guiltily, "Sorry, something happened over there in Nigeria. I have to rush over to deal with it~"

Susu pulled him up and said softly, "I watched the news. It's okay. How is it over there? Have you dealt with it?"

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Of course, is there anything I can't solve myself?"

Su Su slapped him angrily, "Smelly fart~"

Yang Cheng gently touched her slightly bulging belly. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but it felt a little bigger than before.

"Can you feel it?" Yang Cheng asked curiously.

"How do you feel? The child hasn't taken shape yet, right?"

Yang Cheng laughed sarcastically, "Okay, I don't understand, but if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me~"

"I know, it's good, but I can't go to work. It's too boring to stay at home every day~"

Yang Cheng thought that he really couldn't be idle, otherwise it would be easy to have random thoughts, "Then wait until the fetus is stable before going to the company, or can I find something else for you?"

"for example?"

"How about I open a flower shop for you? Girls all like this~"

"Flower shop?" Susu was a little excited by Yang Cheng's suggestion. Indeed, a flower shop is almost every girl's dream, just like every girl hopes to have a prince charming to love and care for her.

But then he shook his head and said, "No, the flower shop has to be handled by myself. My aunt will definitely not allow me to do this in my current situation~"

Compared to Yang Cheng, who was unreliable, Liu Yun called her three times a day and visited her every now and then with delicious food.

The two met far more often than Yang Cheng imagined.

Her worries were justified. Yang Cheng scratched his head and said, "How about hiring two more clerks? You are only responsible for collecting money and accounting, and leave the rest to the people below~"

Su Su was speechless, "Then I still don't have a job? What's the difference from now~"

After thinking about it, Yang Cheng asked again, "Aren't you good at writing? How about writing a novel?"

"Write a novel?" Su Su couldn't laugh or cry. Her writing skills are good, but writing a novel requires not only good writing skills, but also a novel idea. The setting cannot be too repetitive, otherwise readers will not feel the novelty and will not consume it. of.

It's okay if you ask her to write landscape prose and the like, but she really doesn't have the brain power to write novels. Not everyone can be JK Rowling.

"Just write romance novels. The more raunchy and Mary Sue-like, the better. American women like to read these." Yang Cheng became more and more excited as he talked. He thought it was quite reliable. Writing novels at home would be safe and out of the wind and rain. You won’t be too tired, you can rest when you are tired, you have free time, and most importantly, you won’t be scolded by your mother.

Yang Cheng silently praised himself, what a clever little guy.

"Is it really possible?" Susu asked unconfidently.

"Of course, you can practice writing with romance novels first. Once you are proficient, you can then write more advanced ones, such as detective mystery novels or science fiction novels."

Yang Cheng is just trying to spread the pie. Are science fiction novels so easy to write? It is equivalent to constructing a world. Without a huge world view, it is impossible to write science fiction novels. If it does not include aliens, it is called science fiction novels. Writing about two aliens falling in love on Mars is essentially a romance novel.

"Okay, let me try~"

Yang Cheng stayed with Susu for a day before going home. Conrad became his excuse again, a bad guy who dragged him to drink on Christmas and refused to let him go home.

. . .

On the last day of 2016, Yang Cheng was interviewed by the media at the company, mainly focusing on his tough attitude when facing pirates, which won the favor of Americans. In the eyes of Americans, when facing bandits, one should respond with an eye for an eye. , aren’t you the one who kidnapped me? Then I will slaughter you all. This is the revenge recognized by Americans.

Naturally, as the news was broadcast, Yang Cheng became a hero in the hearts of many people. There was no way, who made this a country where everyone dreams of becoming a superhero.

The interview was arranged in the conference hall of the New Era Building, and Yang Cheng devoted an hour to being questioned by reporters.

"Mr. Yang, what did you think before making your decision? Have you ever thought about the safety of the hostages?"

Yang Cheng glanced at his microphone. The NBC reporter said without hesitation, "Of course we have considered it, and this is the most important thing we have considered from beginning to end. There is no doubt about it~"

The reporter forcibly created a conflict, "Didn't you think that forcibly rescuing the hostages would anger the pirates and cause harm to the hostages?"

Yang Cheng spread his hands, "You have to know that those people are unreasonable pirates. When faced with extremely vicious criminals, you cannot use common sense. Even if you pay the ransom honestly, they may not let the hostages go." , do you want me to tell you a set of data?

What is the proportion of people who were kidnapped by pirates and killed after paying a ransom in history?

After careful consideration, we feel that the best way to rescue the hostages is a surprise attack, which has a higher success rate than paying a ransom. "

Another reporter stood up and said, "Hello Mr. Yang, I am a reporter from ABC. First of all, I would like to express my admiration for your decision to take decisive action and congratulate you on your successful rescue of the hostages."

I just have one question: Have you ever considered paying a $20 million ransom in exchange for the safety of the hostages? "

Yang Cheng nodded with absolute certainty, "Of course I have thought about it. Not only have I thought about it, but I have already prepared cash. However, during the negotiation process, the pirates suddenly went back on their word and asked for a price increase. This was the inducement that prompted me to make the final decision."

"Why did the pirate suddenly repent?" A reporter standing behind raised his hand and shouted loudly without permission.

Yang Cheng spread his hands, "You should ask the pirate this question. Obviously I'm not~"

He said something that was neither soft nor hard, which made the originally dull atmosphere of the scene laugh.

After everyone laughed, Yang Cheng said helplessly, "Man, there are really no answers to some questions, just like our operation this time. I want to say that I have 100% confidence before taking action. I'm afraid no one will believe it, not even myself. You will believe it, but the result is indeed successful, then no matter what you think before, it is meaningless, the important thing is the result, isn't it?"

I don’t know who started it, but there was a sparse round of applause.

"Any more questions?" Yang Cheng took a sip of water calmly and asked after scanning the audience.

A reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. Yang, you just said a lot. It is meaningless to pursue your previous thoughts. So I would like to ask, what do you have to say to the four crew members who were unfortunately killed this time?"

This time Yang Cheng did not answer in a hurry. He was silent for a long time and said with a sad tone, "I'm sorry, I have to say this. I want to apologize to the victim's family. This is something we did not expect. It is undeniable. What is important is that we have a responsibility. Even if accidental factors account for the majority, our company's responsibilities will not be shied away from.

Now I solemnly promise that our company will provide all-round help to the families of the victims, and our company will be responsible for raising their minor children!

Their wives will also be protected by our company~

Their elderly parents will also be taken care of by our company. In short, they are the real heroes. We are a responsible company and will never let heroes down. "

This solemn promise not only pushed his personal reputation to the highest point, but also forcibly attracted a wave of goodwill for the North Sea Oil Company.

Compared with being responsible for the living expenses of four families, this wave of fame will benefit them hundreds of times. Fools know how to calculate this account, so there is no objection to this proposal within the company, and everyone raises their hands to approve it. If Yang Cheng hadn't stopped him, Conrad would have wanted to pay a high one-time pension to the victim's family.

But this opinion was rejected by Yang Cheng. The story of the farmer and the snake told him that blindly being a good person will not end well. They only need to be responsible for the basic life of these four families. Sometimes having more money is not a good thing. A good thing, especially getting rich overnight!

But no matter what they talk about in private, this show to the media is considered a success.

The reporter's questions that followed were neither salty nor bland, and there was nothing worth saying. Anyway, the most important part was over, and Yang Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was happy to say a few words less.

Near the end of the interview, a reporter suddenly stood up and asked a very unfriendly question, "Mr. Yang, don't you think it is a violation of human rights to allow the crew members who have just escaped from trouble to continue working?"

There was an uproar in the stadium, who is this guy? What is the difference between asking and provoking?

But this reporter with a big beard turned a blind eye to the surprise of others and stared directly at Yang Cheng with his deep-set eyes, hoping to force him to tell the truth.

It's a pity that Yang Cheng didn't take this approach at all, and said directly, "I don't want to discuss the issue of business operating costs with you, but for the crew who have just escaped from the clutches of pirates, being able to complete this voyage safely is their profession. Performance of ethics.

I and everyone in my company have never forced them to continue working. If you don’t believe this, you can ask them in person after they dock. I believe you will get the same answer. "
