No matter where it is, opening ceremonies are often accompanied by lengthy speeches.
This joint cooperation between the two cities is not immune to this.
In other words, because this is the only official exchange between Piltover and Zaun, both sides are holding back their energy and want to show their superiority, which makes the opening speech particularly lengthy...
At the Zaun Laboratory, the great alchemist Ms. Lenata raised her left arm and talked endlessly; at the Piltover Laboratory, Kubricka, who was already an octogenarian, rarely cheered up.
, according to Camille's request, a lot of content that was close to advertising was added to the speech.
In this case, the opening ceremony was dragged out for quite a long time.
The reporters from Zaun and Piltover worked separately on both sides, taking shorthand notes of the two people's speeches in sections, intending to go back to summarize them and make a big news.
Wei and Caitlin, who were in charge of security, focused their attention to keep these overly energetic reporters away from the cordon.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened during the opening ceremony - after the leaders of both projects finished their speeches, Lenata and Kubricka formally exchanged the cooperation agreement on the elevator and sent out a technical support team. The entire cooperation
The project finally officially started.
……………………
Seeing Lenata returning with the cooperation agreement and several Piltover Hex scientists, Vi finally let out a long sigh.
It's not easy.
She thought that Fandel's long and stinky speech before every meeting was already the most annoying thing, but she didn't expect that Ms. Lenata, who was always polite, would also cause headaches during her speech.
Could it be that that small podium has any special magic power?
Anyone who gets on board will gush?
Wei shook her head to eliminate this unreliable idea from her mind, and then looked at the reporters who were rushing to take photos of Lenata.
Vi didn't like Piltover's reporters.
Not just because they are Piltover.
More importantly, in their reports, Zaun seemed to be an alien land with no merit.
Wei feels the same criticism towards Zaun’s food.
Reports about Zaun's lack of supply of supplies can barely be considered "easy to cause misunderstandings."
But other than that, the numerous reports claiming that the Zaunites are ignorant, as well as the news with obvious map cannons, are simply nonsense.
Moreover, it seems that for the sake of sales, these Piltover reporters especially like to create gossip. Although they dare not directly create big news about Lux, in the entire Zaun except Lux, they spread rumors and cause trouble.
, simply without any scruples.
In the past year alone, Fandel had inexplicably gained more than a dozen old lovers in Piltover newspapers - some of these people were reporters chasing rumors, and some were people who couldn't survive in Piltover.
They want to make some money selling news, and others are inseparable from the few alchemist barons who were lucky enough to escape to Piltover...
Even when he opened the tavern, Fandel was not as popular as the newspapers said.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Vi to have any good feelings towards these bastard reporters from Piltover - she really didn't understand why Lux had to allow these reporters to make up their nonsense and even actively allowed them to enter Zaun?
Shaking her head, Wei no longer thought about these messy things, but after the reporters finished their interviews, she began to check their belongings.
This is necessary prosecutorial management, and Wei Ke does not think these reporters have any bottom line.
"This is interference with freedom of public opinion!" A guy wearing glasses shouted loudly, "What are you Zaun people hiding?"
"This is a necessary review of public opinion." Weihun shook his head nonchalantly and focused his attention on the other party's nameplate, "Jolfo, the reporter of "Piltover Culture Weekly", is very good, right?"
, everyone will know tomorrow that you have lost the qualification to be interviewed for this cooperation, and all the news in your newspaper is fake news - now, you can leave."
After hearing what Wei said, the other person's expression finally changed.
"We are not afraid of power!" Although his body was shaking a little, Yolfo still maintained a strong expression, "You are manipulating public opinion and creating biased reports..."
"Yes, yes, that's right." Wei looked unconcerned and even took the initiative to give him a slap in the face, "Insist on your freedom of the press, Mr. Picheng, let me take a look at your draft, targeting Lieutenant General
The search for Nata’s identity…”
Wei simply read out the title he had prepared on the draft.
"Alchemy family, high-level tacit approval, low-priced mergers and acquisitions, power and sex transactions..." Wei rubbed her temples, "You just asked Ms. Lenata one question, and it was about the prospects of alchemy technology. Mr. reporter,
How can you know so much through just one question?"
In such an embarrassing situation, even other reporters from Piltover couldn't help but want to cover their faces - but Yolfo didn't feel any embarrassment and continued to be arrogant.
"This is the necessary association and reasoning..."
"Compared to journalists, you should write novels." Wei snorted, "Also, Ms. Lenata once wrote a semi-autobiographical novel "Twenty Years". If you really want to know about her, ask Pierre
"Twove showed what she said, as long as the book should be read carefully, instead of just using the name of someone who has participated in the interview and starting to make it up without any scruples!"
"Autobiographical novels are all about self-aggrandizement..."
"You haven't even read it, so you say "Twenty Years" is self-promotion?" Wei finally couldn't help but raise her tone, "Are all you Piltover reporters such unqualified guys?!"
"I interviewed the exiles in Piltover!" The anxious reporter finally spoke subconsciously and said something he shouldn't have said, "They said Lenata had maliciously acquired their property-"
As these words came out, the reporters from Piltover, who had been exchanging opinions in low voices before, instantly became silent.
If fabricating tidbits and smearing certain people's private lives is still within the scope of tacit approval, then the topic this guy just mentioned is a truly sensitive issue.
This idiot's unscrupulous words raised the severity of the entire incident to more than one level - Zaun and Piltover did cooperate a little, but this does not mean that the two sides have resolved their conflicts.
Confrontation and competition are the main themes.
As for the alchemy barons who fled to Piltover and were protected by Piltover, it is a very sensitive topic in the relationship between the two cities.
After all... why would Piltover shelter these alchemy barons?
Even according to Piltover's laws, these Alchemy Barons are a bunch of out-and-out scum - but they have protected these scum!
Obviously, their purpose in doing this is to use them to influence Zaun as soon as they have the opportunity!
In the context of the beginning of cooperation, this kind of issue should not be raised openly.
Speaking of the Alchemist Baron, Wei issued an order quickly and directly detained all reporters present.
