Chapter 75 Unqualified Reporter

Chapter 75 Unqualified Reporter

"Ms. Zheng doesn't know?" Reporter Wang looked surprised and speechless.

"...Ahem." The reporter's eyes were like steel needles, and Gu's mother felt a stab in her heart. She made up an excuse for herself, "Gu Lu's father and I have been divorced for two or three years, and I have also established my own family, so I don't care about it anymore. I don't know the details."

"So that's it." Reporter Wang suddenly realized and it was hard not to suspect that he did it on purpose.

Reporter Wang was generous in his praise, "Gu Lu is an exceptionally good student. He is the first student in Wudu City to win the first prize in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, and the first student to win the first prize in the country.

"It is particularly worth mentioning that in the preliminary round, Gu Lu broke the Ye Shengtao Cup essay score record."

Gu's mother was not sure about the value of the Leaf Cup, but she heard the three key words "first in the city", "record-breaking" and "national first prize" very clearly.

It was a little hard for her to accept it. In her impression, Gu Lu had very poor grades... Didn't the drunkard already arrange for Gu Lu to go to a technical secondary school?
The impression of Gu Lu in my memory and the outline described by the reporter's words are completely inconsistent.

After a while, Mother Gu asked a question, "If you write well, can you go to high school?"

"It's more than whether he can get in. I don't know much about schools outside of the city, but the local No. 3 Middle School and No. 8 Middle School have both sent him invitations for admission, both of which are free of tuition and come with scholarships." Reporter Wang said, "Student Gu Lu chose No. 8 Middle School. Calculating the time, he should go for military training next week."

No. 8 Middle School is better than Bashu High School! Gu's mother's worldview was greatly impacted.

Xiao Yang, a good student in her eyes, failed to get into Bashu High School due to a few points short of the mark in the senior high school entrance exam, but Gu Lu was directly admitted with free tuition.

The gap is too big to be compared.

"Excuse me, when was the last time Ms. Zheng met Gu Lu?" Reporter Wang asked first.

"——I can't remember clearly." Gu's mother remembered it was about a year and a half, but she couldn't say the exact time.

"Oh, it's like this. I met Gu Lu about two or three months ago." Reporter Wang said, "At that time, I found that Gu Lu had a very good reading habit. Ms. Zheng, as a parent, have you cultivated your children to read books since childhood?"

Mother Gu felt her throat was very dry and took a sip of tea. Although Tuo tea is not bitter, it tasted very bitter in her mouth.

In the end, she could only respond dryly, "He liked reading when he was a child."

"So, regarding the education method, does Ms. Zheng have anything to share?" Reporter Wang asked, "For example, talking to your children frequently, or giving them rewards if they do well in exams?"

The more the reporters talked, the more annoyed Mother Gu became. This was because she had no memory of what the reporters described. Not to mention talking to them, she had almost forgotten what Gu Lu looked like.

Therefore, reporter Wang's words seemed to remind her...

But she still didn't dare to get angry with the reporter, so she could only respond haltingly throughout.

The interview lasted half an hour. Reporter Wang stood up and shook hands with the interviewee. “Thank you very much, Ms. Zheng, for accepting the interview.”

"You're welcome, thank you." Mother Gu also stood up quickly.

Reporter Wang took out a business card, handed it to Gu's mother, and said, "If Ms. Zheng can contact Gu Lu's father, could you please ask him to contact me? Thank you very much."

Mother Gu accepted the business card. Her mind was still a mess, so she just nodded subconsciously.

It can't be said that I gained nothing, but the interview didn't yield any valuable information. Reporter Wang left the hotel, and he couldn't calm down for a long time after today's interview.

"You can't tell at all that such a talkative child has such a family behind him." Reporter Wang sighed heavily, sighing for Gu Lu and also for himself. Today's interview was very unprofessional and the questions should have been more tactful.

However, he couldn't remain rational when faced with irresponsible parents.

Mother Gu sat in the conference room for more than ten minutes until the intercom worn on her waist rang, and she came back to her senses.

"Received, received. I'll go check it out right away." Mother Gu responded.

Her colleagues congratulated her one after another. After all, it is the pride of parents if their children are so capable.

But Mother Gu could only force a smile, she couldn't be happy. Because Gu Lu became outstanding, all this happened after the divorce...

After forcing herself to stay calm until after get off work, Gu's mother called Gu's father. The latter basically never answered his calls, but he would answer her mother's calls.

When Gu's father answered the phone, he was scolded, "Gu Bin, I want to ask you, why didn't you tell me that Gu Lu was recommended to No. 8 Middle School?!"

Judging from the original body's memory, Mother Gu often scolded Father Gu, so the latter was used to it.

And Gu Lu feels comfortable after leaving his family...

"Xiao Gu, tell me seriously, do you have a grudge against "The World of Reasoning"? " Mao Sanning suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Gu Lu looked puzzled.

“As for ‘Youth Literature·Mystery World’, even though ‘Years of Mystery’ and ‘Mystery World’ are sister magazines and have a very close relationship, there is definitely competition between them,” said Mao Sanning.

Bian Long felt that Mao Sanning spoke too slowly. Qilu men were not necessarily impatient, but Bian Long was.

He interrupted, "Editor-in-Chief Gao is the founder of the AC Forum, so the Age of Reasoning is like the base camp for Agatha fans. There are many imitation works, especially And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express, which are imitated the most."

"The reasoning attributes of the mystery world are more youthful, and people prefer Sherlock Holmes, who has stronger character attributes. It can be said to be the base camp of Sherlock Holmes. Just this month, a Sherlock Holmes essay competition was held, which is similar to the attributes of Neon doujinshi." said Bian Long.

"I heard from Brother Han that the book you are going to serialize, Mr. Holmes, is the best sequel to Sherlock Holmes. That will be quite interesting." Mao Sanning said.

What a coincidence? Gu Lu searched the Internet for "the best-selling mystery magazine" and all that came out were mystery stories. If he had known that "Mystery World" was holding an event, Gu Lu might have switched to another magazine, because there were bonuses for participating in the event.

People who are young will be taken care of. Gu Lu originally wanted to wander around Ice City alone, but Bian Long and Mao Sanning followed him out.

The three of them went for a stroll in the Ice and Snow World until Cat Sanning's face became distorted. It seemed that he really didn't exercise much on weekdays.

On the way back to the hotel, we came across Xinhua Bookstore.

"Let's go to the bookstore." Mao Sanning took the lead and walked in.

Gu Lu and Bian Long looked at each other, not understanding why the half-dead cat suddenly became so excited.

The three of them walked in. Since it was summer vacation, there were many primary and secondary school students sitting on the floor between the bookshelves. When Gu Lu was a child, he could have spent an entire afternoon reading "Unsolved Mysteries of the World".

There was no sign of Mao Sanning, but after a few minutes, he came out with a book in his hand, "The Missing Element", with the cover reading [A mystery masterpiece, Chinese Little Quinn Mao Sanning].
