Chapter 232 Reporter's Interview

"I'm upset, do you know how to speak English?"

The golden and blue-eyed foreigner said to Chen Guanyu: "I am a reporter from Time magazine in New York. I want to interview you for a few questions."

Chen Guanyu immediately became alert. He had just come out of prison and didn't want to have too much contact with outsiders, especially people like journalists, let alone foreign journalists.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"Oh, it doesn't matter!"

The foreign reporter took out something from his pocket and handed it over, gestured with his hands and said, "You can understand it just by putting it on!"

It was a pair of black headsets that could only be worn on one of the ears. In addition to the parts hanging on the ears, there was also a slender black stick that extended out, which should be the microphone that collected the sound.

Of course Chen Guanyu knows English. He just didn't want to have too much contact with foreigners. After all, he was in prison for a foreign-related incident three years ago, so he was very sensitive to such things.

However, when he saw the headset, his curiosity made him unable to help but take it over. He put it on his left ear and pressed the switch. Then the sound and voice of the startup came from inside: "Meow Star Technology is here to serve you!"

It’s indeed a product of Meow Star Technology!

Chen Guanyu was slightly shocked, but nothing was revealed on his face. Then he said to the foreign reporter in Chinese: "Is this a translator?"

The foreign reporter nodded with a smile, "Yes, this is the latest simultaneous interpretation translation headset launched by Miaoxing Technology. It is said that it can translate the language of most people in the world. Except for a few tribal languages, there is basically nothing that it cannot translate!"

Chen Guanyu listened to the Chinese with a straight-tongued Chinese from the headphones, and now the headphones were translated very accurately, even better than him, a college student who was proficient in English.

In particular, this headset can automatically use the other party's voice to translate according to different voice characteristics, which sounds without any sense of incongruity. It can be seen that it is very good in many details.

"My name is Fesenthal. I am an expatriate journalist from Time magazine in New York. You should have heard of Time magazine, right?"

"Yes I know!"

"So can I interview you a few questions?"

"Sorry, I have something to do, you'd better ask someone else to interview you!"

Chen Guanyu took off his headphones and planned to return them to the other party to leave. He just came out of prison and didn't want to talk to the reporters, but the other party didn't take the headphones over.

"Mr. Chen Guanyu, I know your business..." The Festenthal reporter simply said on the surface: "I just want to interview you for a few questions. If possible, sit in the cafe?"

As he said that, he took out a hundred dollar bill and stuffed it over.

Chen Guanyu hesitated for a moment. He looked at the US dollar bill and did not reach for him. In the past few years, he understood something that some money was really untouchable. Once he reached out, he would be taught to be a human being by society.

The Fesenthal reporter added a few more pictures. Now there are five hundred-dollar bills in total. If he can get valuable news, he can add more.

Seeing that Chen Guanyu was still unmoved, the Fesenthal reporter simply added two thousand US dollars in one breath and said in a very serious tone: "Mr. Chen Guanyu, these are my last few bills. If you don't agree to accept the interview, I can only give up!"

Chen Guanyu swallowed, "Can you transfer money on WeChat or Alipay?"

In fact, when he added five hundred dollars, he was already moved. Anyway, as long as he made up his mind not to talk nonsense, he took the money and dealt with it casually, the other party had no way to do it.

But in this era, who else is using money?

And it's US dollar bills, so he has to go to the bank to exchange them, but that's too troublesome and too noticeable. He didn't want to be so high-profile when he just came out of prison.

"I see!"

The Fesenthal reporter was amused and crying, but he didn't have that much RMB of cash on his body. If he transferred it directly with an international account, it would seem that it would not meet the regulations. After all, this kind of interview funding must be reimbursed in other terms.

Fortunately, he immediately thought of a solution and hurriedly walked into the cafe to find a waiter, exchanged the US dollar bills for the other party at the exchange rate, and then asked him to transfer the money to Chen Guanyu.

There were some losses during the transfer, but they didn't care about so much.

"Okay, Mr. Chen Guanyu, let's start!"

After all this, the two of them simply sat down in the cafe, asked for two drinks, and then went straight to the point.

"What did you go to jail for?" The Fesenthal reporter said straight to the point.

"For the crime of theft..."

Chen Guanyu was not too surprised. Since the other party came to him, he must have wanted to know what happened to his life a few years ago. At that time, he stole a batch of batteries from a small factory in Bao'an, Pengcheng, and some high-energy batteries were mixed into these batteries.

Based on what he learned later, he learned that these high-energy batteries seemed to be leaking out to develop products, and they also involved relevant departments, etc.

However, after talking to the Fesenthal reporter, he realized that the matter was not simple. It turned out that the battery he stole was a polyurethane molecular battery used all over the streets, and this battery is also a product of Meow Star Technology.

"You mean, the battery I stole was of great value?"

Chen Guanyu's mouth was almost unable to close. He could not imagine that those small batteries could create a market of hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars, which could promote the continuous development of a country's economy.

From the reporter, he also learned that South African businessmen smuggled several batteries abroad and sold them for a high price of millions of dollars. They are still free and happy outside and have not been caught.

"It's so..." Chen Guanyu felt a little regretful at that moment, regretting that he had not learned physics and chemistry well. Not only did he guard Baoshan beg for food, but he also sent himself and his cousin to jail.

But the reporter was not here to answer his questions. Fesenthal asked him many details, especially things related to the bald boss, which was the main purpose of this interview.

"In other words, didn't you steal the battery from Li Maoye?"

"That's right, the battery was taken from Boss Lu's factory at that time. Uh, Boss Lu is Lu Chunlin, he is..."

"I know this, the boss of Yumao Battery has a net worth of over 10 billion! But what I want to know is Li Maoye. Have you never met in the park?"

"Maybe I've seen him, but who knew him at that time!"

"A big bald head should be easy to recognize, right?"

"Uh, bald? It seems that one time when I went to collect debts with my cousin, I seemed to have seen him..."

The two were chatting about what happened three years ago in the cafe. Under the guidance of the reporter, Chen Guanyu gradually added details to the memories, and some non-existent details were created out of nothing.

Chen Guanyu described to the reporter as an imaginary genius scientist. He said that Li Maoye always seemed to be thinking and didn't like to talk. When looking at people, he was looking into the distance, and the focus of his eyes was not in front of him.

"There is also the fact that he feels strange, not very much like a normal human!" Chen Guanyu said some words that seem true or false, and in the end he believed it, thinking that he should have seen Li Maoye, but he didn't notice it at that time.

Human memory is very unreliable and can even be tampered with by itself!

The Fesenthal reporter nodded repeatedly and kept recording in his notebook: "He is gloomy, taciturn, difficult to figure out, likes to be alone, and seems to have an anti-human and anti-social personality!"

After almost the same question, the Fesenthal reporter asked: "Are you willing to accept my employment? I just don't have someone familiar with Pengcheng to lead the way. If possible, I will give you a guide fee of 200 US dollars a day!"

"The price you offer is very exciting, but I refuse!"

Chen Guanyu did not hesitate this time. He drank the last drop of coffee very simply, and then quickly got up and flashed.

Although he was not sure what the reporter wanted to do when asked by the bald boss, he could understand the English written by the other party in his notebook. Obviously, this reporter was not a good person. If he helped with things in the past, he might be arrested again one day.

After leaving the cafe, Chen Guanyu looked at the strange and familiar street outside, and for a moment he didn't know where to go. He followed the crowd for a long time and finally remembered to call his home to report his safety.

After chatting with his family for about two hours, he hung up the phone. When he put down his phone, his face was covered with tears. No matter what, he felt that it was a happy thing for his family to miss him.

"Okay! Chen Guanyu, from now on, you must change your mind and become a new person!"

He secretly encouraged himself, first found a cheap hotel nearby to stay in, and then found a way to find a job tomorrow morning, and at least he had to earn some money to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival!

After confirming the direction of his future life, Chen Guanyu regained his mood and walked towards the alley next to the street. He remembered that there was a hotel there that was quite good.

But after walking for a while, he was surprised to find that the urban village had changed a lot. The road was paved with asphalt and a green belt was built in the middle of the road, which was much cleaner and tidy than before.

“Where is the hotel?”

After Chen Guanyu arrived at the destination, the original store was gone, and the shop on the street had been replaced by an electronic store selling mobile phones.

I had to walk around a few times before I found a place to sleep in a dark corner. As a result, when I asked about the price, it was so high that it was at least half as high as I did three years ago.

"I can't live there, the pork has increased to 40 yuan per pound. Do you think the accommodation fee is a lot for 15 yuan?"

The hotel owner waved his hand impatiently, as if he was driving a fly, making Chen Guanyu feel uncomfortable.

He gritted his teeth and took a step forward, slapped his ID card on the desktop, "I want a single room!"

"What's the heavy shooting for..."
