"Mr. Saruman, I have really benefited a lot from walking with you today. In you, I see the professionalism from a higher civilization.
Compared with you, my professionalism and emotional control are very poor."
After finishing the interview and leaving the castle halfway up the mountain, Louise sincerely saluted the meticulous-looking old reporter beside her.
The old reporter nodded and said calmly: "You are also very good. You can continue to complete the following interview tasks after meeting the lamp beast."
Hearing the lantern beast, Louise's eyes flashed slightly and she whispered: "Can I ask how you plan to report the news about the lantern beast?"
"Of course we report truthfully. Isn't the reason why we are reporters just to pursue the truth?" Saruman said seriously.
Louise was in awe, no, she already had a lot of respect for him, but now she has gone up two levels and started to worship him.
This is the quality of a famous person in the universe. Even if he is scared to wet his pants with just one look, his courage can be broken but his faith will never be lost!
Indian Mountain is only over a hundred meters high. The two of them were talking and had already walked from the villa halfway up the mountain to the front yard at the foot of the mountain.
The plump Angela stood at the entrance of the courtyard and greeted them with a smile.
"You two reporters have worked hard. Do you need to go to the guest room to rest for a while, take a shower, and have dinner before leaving?"
When she heard about taking a shower, Louise immediately understood the hint in the other person's words and blushed again. She gently rubbed her legs under the professional skirt. The silk stockings and panties had dried up and scabbed, and they were hardened into lumps.
"No need, I booked a suite at the Manhattan Hotel." Saruman said softly and looked calm.
Louise turned her head and looked at his face that seemed to be able to remain calm and indifferent at work forever, and she began to admire him in her heart: Only people who have experienced more storms and waves can develop such excellent psychological quality!
It is also a good thing for alien reporters to come to Earth. At least it can provide an "evolution" benchmark for Earth reporters.
With this thought in her mind, she imitated the Shixing reporter and said calmly: "Just call me a taxi."
"A special car has been arranged." Angela said with a smile.
Saruman nodded and walked slowly out of the gate. When he reached the gate, he suddenly stopped and whispered to Angela who was doing nothing. He stretched out his hand and rubbed two fingers together, "You will not reimburse the reporter's food and accommodation.
And car travel expenses?”
Louise was startled and looked at him blankly.
Angela was also stunned and asked in a low voice: "How much?"
"Don't you know better than me?" Saruman remained calm and indifferent.
Angela nodded, "I understand."
Before sending the two of them to the car, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo came over and handed two bulging envelopes to Angela.
Angela handed the richest one to Saruman, which was not as rich as the first half. She was about to hand it to Louise. After catching a glimpse of her face, she retracted her hand as if nothing had happened and said, "Goodbye, you two."
Saruman put the envelope away with a smile and said gently: "After the news comes out, I will send the electronic version of the newspaper to the manor."
When the car started and left Quinn's front yard, Louise asked in despair: "Why?"
"I also want to ask why, why doesn't Butler Angela give you money?" Saruman asked curiously.
"Because she knows I don't charge money, even if she gives me a small gift, I won't brag about Harley Quinn in the report." Louise turned to look at his still calm and calm face, "What will you do?
Reporting the news about lantern beasts?”
"One five ten."
"How about one five ten?"
"The yellow lantern beast is cunning and cruel, deceiving the Earth Man through lies, and wants to use her body to escape from the green lantern central energy battery and cause harm to the world.
In the end, Earthman used his wisdom to see through its tricks, and suppressed it with absolute courage and strength.
To a certain extent, Earthman not only saved herself and the Green Lantern Corps, but also avoided a cosmic catastrophe!" Saruman said slowly.
Louise's faith collapsed, her dreams were shattered, and her expression became distorted with disappointment.
She was so excited that she lost her rationality and snatched the envelope from Saruman's hand sideways, tore it open with all her strength, and most of the tightly tied "Franklin" was scattered.
"U.S. dollars? I thought they were Galaxy coins," Louise said sarcastically, "How much is this? About twenty thousand U.S. dollars, do you care about this little money?"
"Of course I don't care," Saruman still looked calm, "My basic salary in "Galaxy Monthly" is probably worth two million dollars when converted into US dollars.
Including manuscript fees, work allowances, overseas subsidies and year-end bonuses, his annual salary is more than that of basketball star James.
The problem is, no matter how much money I make, I only have one life!
Collecting money represents an attitude, it doesn’t matter how much it is.”
Louise was stunned, "Are you worried that Harley Quinn will murder people?"
"With the reputation of Witch Harley, aren't you worried?" Saruman glanced at her and saw that her expression was really not worried. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "I'm curious, what is your family background? Your father, your
husband"
Louise said quickly: "They are all ordinary people, ordinary American soldiers, ordinary reporters.
If you think too much, Harley Quinn won't be so crazy.
As long as we don't slander her out of thin air, she won't care if we reveal the truth."
"The thing is, I feel like I really reported the truth." Saruman sighed.
"Do you believe her lies?" Louise's eyes widened, and she began to doubt her earlier inference: Is this alien reporter sent to Earth because of his incompetence?
It's an illusion.
Seeing as he is very old, he probably came to earth to take care of his old age.
"Why do you have no doubt that the lamp beast is lying? Just a breath of breath makes us wet our pants, which shows how evil the yellow lamp beast is." Saruman asked strangely.
"The power is powerful and has no direct relationship with good or evil. Some people have the ability to spread super terror, but are as kind as angels.
Believe me, I know more than you in this regard." Louise said with a touch of pride in her tone.
Saruman shrugged, "For the same thing, different reporters will make different judgments even if they get the same information.
I won't force you to change your mind, but please respect my professionalism.
I have been a reporter for more than fifty years and have interviewed countless planet overlords, super heroes and criminals. I trust my experience and intuition."
What a professional, your more than fifty years of career are in vain, oh, not in vain, you must have accumulated an extremely rich family fortune in these fifty years, right?
Louise looked at the old reporter again. The weather-beaten face before had become old and cunning now, and the calmness and calmness had turned into a thoughtful one.
The sacred aura is all gone.
Also because of her disappointment with the veteran alien reporter, after returning to Metropolis, she hesitated to publish the topic "Nuclear Deterrence of Earthlings Without Being Slavish to Alien Civilizations, Harley Quinn's Position in the Universe".
Well, it took her three days to finish the manuscript. She wrote it heartily and full of excitement, but because the article quoted too many comments from "Saruman, a veteran of the universe," she doubted the authenticity of her article.
"Bang bang bang" White Perry, editor-in-chief of Daily Planet, banged on the door outside his office.
Louise, Louise!"
Louise, who was holding her head and staring at the screen of the laptop in Paradise Mountain, was startled. After opening the door, she complained: "I am revising the manuscript. Can't you be gentler or make a phone call first?"
"You really need to revise your manuscript!" The black editor threw the Paradise Mountain tablet on the table and said angrily: "Look at what you wrote?
If I had known you were so useless, I would have asked Cat Grant to do the previous interview."
Louise lowered her head and glanced at the tablet screen. It was the "Harley Quinn and the Two Lantern Beasts" that she had just submitted.
That is, the content of the exclusive interview about the reconciliation between Harley Quinn and the Green Lantern Corps at Quinn Manor a few days ago.
"What's the problem with this? I abandoned almost all fancy words and modifiers, and told the whole story from the most unbiased perspective. What else do you want?" Louise asked in confusion.
"There's something wrong with your head!"
The black editor wanted to poke her in the forehead with his finger, but Louise avoided it wisely.
"What is the purpose of the interview? Do you still remember?" He reminded loudly: "It is to appease the people! Let the people of the earth understand that Harley Quinn and the Green Lantern Corps have reconciled, and there will be no war between the two sides again, and the earth will not fall.
It is a battlefield and will not be affected.
The world is at peace. Everyone can relieve their worries and continue to go to work, go to school, and party. Society is about to return to stability!
But look, what did you write?"
He pinched his throat and imitated Louise's words, "Green Lantern's words were unclear, as if he had a hidden agenda; Yellow Lantern even cried out for help, frankly saying that he had been deceived and abused, and asked the Green Lantern Corps to remove him from Harley Quinn.
Rescued from the clutches of
"I'm not lying. The lampbeast is really in a bad situation. He was tortured like a beast by Harley Quinn. She directly called the yellow lampbeast a 'dog slave' and whipped him, I swear." Louise said seriously.
The black editor was stunned and said in surprise: "The description of this paragraph in your manuscript is too brief. Now please explain the situation in detail."
Louise did not hide anything and told everything she saw, heard and thought.
"Great!" The black editor-in-chief clapped his fists excitedly and laughed, "I feel relieved when you say that."
"Is there any problem with my manuscript?" Louise relaxed.
"No, there's a problem, you made a huge mistake!" the black editor scolded with a straight face.
"What is wrong?"
"Political correctness is wrong!" the black editor said seriously: "Is it difficult to understand what I just said? Congressman Quinn's exclusive interview should have been good news.
In order to stabilize the situation, let everyone put aside their worries about the 'green light crisis'.
So when the news came that she was talking to the Little Blue Man, we all cheered up and wanted to tell the people around the world this good news.
But if you write this, won't the Green Lantern Corps find an excuse to tear up the agreement?
What if, in the name of saving the lamp beasts, they besiege the earth again, or even fight a Star Wars in the solar system?"
"But those lamp beasts"
The black editor interrupted her with a wave of his hand and said loudly: "I don't even care about the plight of black Africans. Do I care about an alien or an alien beast?! Louise, we are reporters and we need to have a basic country.
and national stance!”
Louise reminded: "You are black too"
The black editor glared at her hard, "Don't insult me, I'm an American."
"Shouldn't we reporters pursue the truth?" Louise said, squeezing her neck: "As for the threat of the Green Lantern Corps, you haven't thought about it much, but you haven't thought about it enough.
I also have a companion article to the interview, which is dedicated to introducing the earth’s ‘cosmic-level nuclear deterrent’ to people around the world.”
