Chapter 228 Reporter's Interview
"Excuse me, do you speak English?"

The blond foreigner said to Chen Guanyu, "I'm a reporter from New York's Time Magazine. I want to interview you with a few questions."

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

"Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying!"

"Oh, never mind!"

The foreigner reporter took out something from his pocket and handed it over, gestured with his hand and said, "You can understand when you put it on!"

It was a pair of black headsets, which could only be worn on one of the ears. Apart from the parts hanging on the ears, there was also a slender black stick extending out, which should be the microphone for collecting sound.

Of course Chen Guanyu understands English. Just now he just didn't want to have too much contact with foreigners. After all, he was sent to prison three years ago because of a foreign-related incident, so he was very sensitive to such things.

However, when he saw the headset, he couldn't help but take it out of curiosity. He put it on his left ear and pressed the switch. Immediately, there was a power-on sound and a voice: "Meow Star Technology is at your service!"

Sure enough, it is a product of Meow Star Technology!
Chen Guanyu was slightly startled, but did not reveal anything on his face, and then said to the foreign reporter in Chinese: "Is this a translation headset?"

The foreign reporter nodded with a smile, "That's right, this is the latest simultaneous interpretation translation headset launched by Meowstar Technology. It is said that it can translate the languages ​​of most people in the world, except for a few tribal languages. of!"

Chen Guanyu listened to the well-spoken Chinese coming from the earphones, and found that the earphones translated very accurately, even better than him, a college student who is proficient in English.

In particular, this earphone can automatically use the other party's voice to translate according to different voice characteristics, which does not sound inconsistent at all. It can be seen that it has done a very good job in many details.

"My name is Feisenthal, and I'm an expatriate reporter for the New York "Times Weekly". You should have heard of "Times Weekly", right?"

"Yeah, I know!"

"So can I interview you with a few questions?"

"Sorry, I still have things to do, you should find someone else to interview!"

Chen Guanyu took off the headset, intending to return it to the other party and leave. He just got out of prison and didn't want to talk to the reporter, but the other party didn't pick up the headset.

"Mr. Chen Guanyu, I know about you..." Reporter Fesenthal said bluntly, "I just want to interview you with a few questions. If possible, please sit in the cafe?"

As he spoke, he also took out a hundred-dollar bill and stuffed it in.

Chen Guanyu hesitated for a while. He looked at the dollar bill and didn't reach out for it. The past few years in prison made him understand one thing. Some money is really immovable. Once he reaches out his hand, he will be taught to be a man by society.

Reporter Feisenthal added a few more, and now there are five hundred-dollar bills in total. If he can get valuable news, he can add some more.

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

Chen Guanyu swallowed, "Can I transfer money via WeChat or Alipay?"

In fact, when he added five hundred dollars, he was already tempted. Anyway, as long as he made up his mind not to talk nonsense, he took the money and dealt with it casually, and the other party had nothing to do.

But in this day and age, who else is using banknotes!

And it's still a US dollar bill. Doesn't he have to go to the bank to exchange it, but that's too much trouble and attracts attention. He just came out of prison and doesn't want to be so high-profile.

"I see!"

Reporter Feisenthal couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't have so much RMB cash on him. If he directly used an international account to transfer it, it didn't seem to comply with the regulations. After all, this kind of interview expenses had to be reimbursed in other names.

Fortunately, he immediately thought of a way, and quickly walked into the cafe to find a waiter, gave the dollar bill to the other party and converted it into RMB according to the exchange rate, and then asked him to transfer the money to Chen Guanyu.

There was a little loss during the transfer, but they didn't care about that much.

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

After finishing all this, the two simply sat down in the cafe, ordered two drinks, and then went straight to the topic.

"Excuse me, why did you go to jail?" Fesental reporter asked straight to the point.

"Because of theft..."

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

According to the situation he learned later, he learned that these high-energy batteries seem to be developed by some organization, and it also involves relevant departments and so on.

However, after chatting with the reporter Feisenthal, he realized that the matter inside was not simple. It turned out that the battery he stole was the polyurethane molecular battery that is now used all over the street, and this battery is also from Meowstar Technology. product.

"You mean, the batteries I stole are worth a lot?"

Chen Guanyu's mouth could barely close. He couldn't imagine that those small batteries could create a market worth hundreds of billions or even trillions, and could promote the continuous economic development of a country.

From the reporter, he also learned that the South African businessman smuggled several batteries out of the country and sold them for millions of dollars. He is still happy outside without being caught.

"It's so..." Chen Guanyu felt a little regretful at that moment. He regretted that he didn't learn physics and chemistry well. He not only guarded Baoshan to beg for food, but also sent himself and his cousin to prison.

But the reporter didn't come to answer his questions. Feesenthal asked him many details, especially about the bald man, which was his 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 that, the owner of Yumao Battery is now worth more than [-] billion yuan! But what I want to know is Li Maoye, haven't you met in the park?"

"Maybe I have, but who knew him back then!"

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

"Uh, bald head? It seems that when I went to collect debts with my uncle, 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 memory, and some details that did not exist were also created out of thin air.

Chen Guanyu described it to the reporter according to the appearance of a genius scientist in his imagination. He said that Li Maoye seemed to be always thinking and didn't like talking very much.

"The other thing is that he feels weird, not like a normal human being!" Chen Guanyu said something that seemed to be true and false, and in the end even he believed it, thinking that he should have met Li Maoye, but he didn't pay attention at the time That's all.

Human memory is very unreliable and can even tamper with itself!

The reporter Feisenthal nodded again and again, and kept writing in his notebook: "Gloomy, taciturn, elusive, likes to be alone, suspected of having an anti-human and anti-social personality!"

After the question was almost finished, reporter Feisenthal asked: "Are you willing to accept my employment? I just need someone who is familiar with Pengcheng to lead the way. If possible, I will give you a guide fee of 200 US dollars per day!"

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

Chen Guanyu didn't hesitate this time, he drank the last drop of coffee very simply, then got up quickly and left.

Although he doesn't know what the reporter wants to do when he asks the bald man, but he can understand the English written in the notebook. Obviously, this reporter is not a kind person. If he helps out with things in the past, he may be arrested again one day go in.

After leaving the cafe, Chen Guanyu looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar street outside, and didn't know where to go for a while. He drifted along with the crowd for a long time, and finally thought of calling home to report that he was safe.

After chatting with his family for almost two hours, he hung up the phone. When he put down the phone, his face was already full of 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 have to change your mind and start a new life!"

He secretly encouraged himself, and first found a cheap hotel nearby to live in, and then tried to find a job tomorrow morning, 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 to the alley beside the street. He remembered that there was a nice hotel there.

But after walking a certain distance, he was surprised to find that the village in the city had changed a lot. The road was paved with asphalt, wide canals were built on both sides, and a green belt was built in the middle of the road. It was much cleaner and tidy than before.

"What about the hotel?"

When Chen Guanyu arrived at the destination, he found that the original store had long since disappeared, and the store facing the street was replaced by an electronics store selling mobile phones.

I had to turn around a few times to find a place to sleep in a dark corner, but when I asked about the price, it was frighteningly high, at least half of what it was three years ago.

"I can't live without it. Pork has risen to 40 yuan a catty. Do you think the accommodation fee of [-] yuan is a lot?"

The inn proprietress waved away impatiently, as if chasing away a fly, which made Chen Guanyu feel uncomfortable.

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

"What are you doing so hard..."

The proprietress was taken aback, muttered a few words, and quickly opened a room for him.
