Zhang Er was trembling all over at the sight, and when he was about to lose control, Li Xin slapped Zhang Er on the shoulder.
Zhang Er immediately knelt down on the ground.
Li Xin was stunned when he saw this, thinking that I didn't use much force, why did he fall to the ground with just a light pat.
Li Xin hurriedly helped Zhang Er up and said, "Is there something wrong with reporter Zhang's body? Why was he shaking all over just now?"
"And I didn't use much strength. Why did you lie on the ground? Shouldn't journalists like you who often go out to collect news be in good health?"
Zhang Er paused for a moment, then hurriedly raised his hands and said, "How dare you trouble General Li to help me up? I'm really sorry. I just lost my temper."
Li Shui watched all this with interest and took a sip of tea without any expression.
Li Xin scratched his head, as if he couldn't understand Li Shui's behavior.
Li Shui seemed to be waiting for reporter Zhang Er to say something on his own initiative.
Li Shui held the teacup, took a sip and said slowly: "When you work under me, results are important, but character is also the most important thing to me."
"If there is nothing wrong with his character, the punishment he will have to bear is beyond your imagination."
At this time, Zhang Er didn't dare to breathe.
"You were the first to pick up the hot news twice. Do you really think I think you are lucky?"
Zhang Er's face became paler and paler, his brows furrowed, as if this was the most tangled moment in his life.
Li Shui shouted: "Don't tell me yet!"
Li Xin almost spilled the tea in his hand at the sudden sound. He looked around, but no one noticed him. He coughed dryly and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Xin glanced at Li Shui resentfully and thought: What are you doing? It's okay to scare people.
Reporter Zhang Er was frightened and fell to the ground again.
Zhang Er cried and said: "Master Banished Immortal, I was wrong."
Li Xin looked confused. He obviously picked up the hot news, but it was too late to reward him. Why did he cry and admit his mistake?
Could it be that Brother Huai was deliberately trying to scare people in order to be stingy with rewards? Well, it fits his stingy character.
Zhang Er continued: "I paid for it and hired people to stop other reporters five hundred meters away. This is equivalent to me being the only reporter around Qi Mansion."
Li Shui snorted, his face expressionless.
Li Xin's eyes widened. He could still do this. This guy is a talent. Why didn't I expect that he could still do this?
If I were a reporter, I would drive other reporters out of Xianyang City, and I would be the only one in the city.
Li Shui said slowly: "Be specific."
Zhang Er lay on the ground and said: "In order to avoid conflict with people from my own newspaper, the employee told reporters from the same newspaper that he was employed by Yali Daily."
"When I met a reporter from Yali Daily, I told him that he was employed by the General tabloid."
"In this way, I can wait for first-hand news around Qi Mansion with peace of mind, while other reporters complain to each other on the periphery."
"I thought, since we are at odds with the Yali Daily people anyway, adding a little more conflict is nothing."
Li Xin closed his eyes there, sipping tea and listening at the same time. This boy is really good at it.
It will not cause resentment among colleagues, but it will also give peripheral reporters a place to vent.
Li Xin kept nodding while drinking.
When he came back to his senses, he found Li Shui staring at him curiously.
Li Xin coughed dryly: "Brother Huai, why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Shui: "I don't know what Brother Li thought of, but he couldn't help nodding."
Li Xin glanced at Zhang Er lying on the ground and laughed dryly: "I just think Zhang Er's method is quite effective."
Li Shui stood up and said seriously: "Although the result is good, the method is indeed a bit shady."
"His Majesty asked us to run a newspaper to promote public opinion, not to let one family dominate, but to allow the truth to remain in the world."
"In this case, we should not resort to unscrupulous means just for selfish reasons. If everyone follows suit, wouldn't the social atmosphere be full of sneaky people?"
"If Yali Daily finds out about this and comes back to sue us for unfair competition and violent interviews, I have a gold medal for immunity from death, so of course nothing will happen to me, but what will you do?"
Zhang Er was lying on the ground shivering. At that time, he was only focused on making a name for himself and collecting news at all costs, so he never thought about this.
Now that I was woken up by Li Shui, I was really frightened for a while, ranging from being fined to being tortured and sitting in the worst case.
Zhang Er's head got deeper. He was very regretful and regretful about how he could do such a stupid thing.
I even regretted that I had finally worked under the banished immortal. I had to leave before the chair was even heated.
Neighbors in the same village all know that he is now a big reporter in Xianyang City, and every time he returns to the village, they are all greeted with a warm welcome.
My parents are also very respectable, greeting everyone they meet, and now they walk with their heads held high.
But the good days were short-lived, and I was screwed up by myself. Alas, I had no shame in going back.
Zhang Er couldn't help but slap himself hard and kept kowtowing to admit his mistake.
Li Shui sighed and stretched out his hand in front of Zhang Er.
Zhang Er raised his head and saw that Li Shui not only did not beat or scold him, but also stretched out his hand to pull him up, tears filled his eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Er seemed to see Li Shui's body shining like a real immortal descending to earth.
Zhang Er finally understood why those alchemists followed the banishment of immortals wholeheartedly. It was because they were well-informed. Master Huai in front of him was not a banished immortal. He was really an immortal. Well, Zhang Er was very sure.
After Zhang Er stood up, he didn't bother to wipe his nose and said, "As long as you don't dislike me, Zhang Er is willing to work for you without hesitation."
Li Shui smiled and said: "I am not short of horses and cattle."
Zhang Er felt a chill in his heart: "As long as you can still use me, Zhang Er will be at your disposal at any time. Zhang Er is willing to spend his whole life making up for the mistakes he made today."
Li Xin looked at this scene dumbfounded and said from his heart, Li Xin admired Li Shui very much.
Li Xin has been in the military camp for many years. When it comes to winning people's hearts, he is second to none, and no one dares to be first.
Unexpectedly, Li Shui's operation today completely refreshed Li Xin's understanding.
Li Xin didn't expect that Li Shui not only gave Zhang Er no reward, but also made Zhang Er follow him wholeheartedly. This was really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
I originally thought that Zhang Er was a thief enough by quietly disrupting the news competition, but I didn't expect that Huai Guzi was even more skilled.
Li Shui looked at Zhang Er and said, "I remember you have nothing but good writing skills."
Zhang Er blushed and nodded. He was confused and didn't know whether Li Shui was praising or belittling himself.
Zhang Er replied: "I used to feel that everything I did was boring. Since I came into contact with reporters, I found that I have endless energy every day. When I hear any news, I get very excited."
Li Xin couldn't help but smile. There was such a person. He was really born to be a reporter.
Li Shui nodded and said, "In this case, you can continue to be a reporter."
Zhang Er was stunned, thinking he heard wrongly. After seeing Li Shui's encouraging eyes, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Li Shui patted Zhang Er on the shoulder: "Do a good job and don't let me down."
"I will write down the hot news this time and see how you perform in the future. If you perform well, everything will be sunny."
Zhang Er trembled and nodded, not sure whether he was scared or excited.
