Chapter 541 Have a Dinner with Her
It was also special for Orange News to be designated for an exclusive interview of the Shao enterprise’s chairman.
The chief editor of the Orange News said to Ding Ali, “Ali, you’re new here. You may not be familiar with an exclusive interview yet. Before the interview, you have to be well prepared.”
Ali touched her face and replied with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’ll try my best. I won’t make any mistake.”
The chief editor nodded until she promised.
However, there were many people fighting for this opportunity. As the chief editor had just returned to her office, a journalist knocked on her door.
After the chief editor answered the door, she recognized it was Axin who had recently sucked the air out of the room.
The chief editor laughed, “Take a seat, please.”
Axin sat down. She was somewhat unhappy, “Chief editor, Ali has just come here from the branch office. How could you a.s.sign that important exclusive interview to a newcomer?”
The chief editor responded helplessly, “That was not my decision.”
“You mean…” Axin stared at the chief editor.
The chief editor pointed to the direction of Shao’s office building, “It was Chairman Shao’s decision.”
Hearing this, Axin fell silent.
If it had been the Orange News’s decision, she could have bent the rules and fought for the opportunity.
However, Ali was named by Shao Tianze. No one could take this opportunity away from her.
At the thought of this, Axin was a little frustrated, “How did Chairman Shao name her to conduct the interview? It doesn’t make sense.”
Hearing Axin’s murmur, the chief editor drew a book from a stack of magazines beside her while laughing. She pointed at the girl on the cover, “Have a look at this.”
“Gu Changge?” Axin acknowledged the confident and elegant woman on the cover.
The chief editor nodded, “She is the reason.”
“But what does this have to do with Ali?” The moment Axin had just finished this sentence, she suddenly thought of something and lowered her head with a bounce to look at the woman on the magazine cover.
The chief editor saw Axin’s face changed. She spoke calmly, “Her appearance is her leverage.”
Axin frowned and stared at Gu Changge, the legend of Yuncheng, on the cover. She murmured, “No wonder Ali looks sort of familiar. It turns out that she’s alike to Gu Changge.”
The chief editor only wore a helpless smile.
If she had had the power to get someone else, she wouldn’t have wanted Ali to conduct the interview, either.
However, Shao Tianze had specially appointed Ali to carry out this interview. It displayed that he must be interested in her.
Therefore, the nominee of the interviewee was secured.
Moreover, Ali might be going to get a great deal of luck.
…
Ali had exhausted her efforts to prepare for this interview.
But she put all her effort into her dressing instead of the list of questions that she was going to ask.
She read about Gu Changge before and learned that she favored white sweaters the most.
So she deliberately wore one on the interview day.
She looked delicate and beautiful in the white sweater.
When the film crew and she arrived at the reception parlor where the interview would be given, Shao Tianze noticed Ding Ali at first sight.
He was slightly shocked as if he had seen Gu Changge in Ding Ali in the white sweater.
If he didn’t watch Gu Changge cremated in person, he would get suspicious of her death.
However, since it was a confirmed fact, the woman in front of him was definitely not the one he had killed even if she looked extremely like her.
He smiled at Ding Ali, “Sorry, I’ve kept you waited.”
Seeing Shao Tianze’s smile, Ding Ali was somewhat nervous. She shook her head, “No, not at all.”
Noticing she stood up, Shao Tianze gestured her to sit down and start the interview.
Ding Ali, however, did not sit down. Instead, she offered her hand and introduced herself to him, “h.e.l.lo, Chairman Shao, I’m Ding Ali, a journalist from Orange News. I’ve come to do the interview with you. You can call me Ali.”
“Ali?” Shao Tianze gently repeated her name.
Ding Ali was delighted when Shao Tianze read her name out. She nodded with a smile, “Yes, just call me Ali.”
“Please take a seat.”
Ding Ali knew that she could not display her objective, so she did not chat much with Shao Tianze after they sat down. She suggested, “You must be busy at work. I can’t spare much of your time. Mr. Shao, shall we begin?”
Looking at her speaking, Shao Tianze lowered his eyes, Gu Changge’s face flas.h.i.+ng in his mind. He nodded, “Sure.”
“Great.” Ding Ali motioned the cameraman who had set a camera over there and started the interview.
The questions she asked during the interview were related to the board meeting.
Shao Tianze was at ease answering them. When he answered the sensitive questions, he improvised and switched to another topic cleverly.
In this way, the interview had lasted more than half an hour and come to an end.
Ding Ali noticed Shao Tianze’s gaze falling upon her face. She said, “Chairman Shao, I have already finished questions about your business. In the following time, may I ask you something about your personal issue?”
“Go ahead.” Shao Tianze nodded.
Ding Ali was glad to get his consent.
She questioned after thinking for a few moments, “Your wife, Miss Gu Changge has pa.s.sed away for almost a year. I wonder whether you think about her a lot?”
“She will always be my beloved wife. I miss her a lot.”
Ding Ali listened to Shao Tianze, her heart leaping.
She changed her appearance to look like Gu Changge. If Shao Tianze had loved his wife so much, he would have liked her face since they looked so alike.
Now that Shao Tianze honestly expressed that he still loved his wife, Ding Ali felt relieved.
As long as he still loved his wife and never forgot her, she stood a big chance to get his affection.
After answering that question, Shao Tianze looked at Ding Ali, “Do you have any other questions, Ali?”
Called by Shao Tianze, Ali came back to earth immediately and posed a question that everyone would like to hear.
“Since you are still in love with your wife, have you considered another marriage?”
“If I really meet someone, I will marry her and be with her.”
“Have you found that person?”
Ding Ali asked.
Shao Tianze looked at Ding Ali and pursed his lips slightly, “Maybe I’ll meet her in the future.”
Looking at Shao Tianze’s eyes, Ding Li’s heart thumped.
But she had finished all the questions listed on the notebook and had no excuse to stay longer.
Just then, Ding Ali suppressed her restlessness and uttered with a smile, “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do this exclusive interview. It’s over. I’m hoping for another interview if possible.”
Ding Ali said to Shao Tianze with a smile.
Shao Tianze nodded, “There will be very soon.”
Such a short reply instantly pleased Ding Ali.
The interview ended. They were about to leave. Shao Tianze turned around and especially took a look at Ding Ali.
When they left the reception parlor, Shao Tianze’s a.s.sistant said to him, “Mr. Shao, that woman looks so similar to Miss Changge.”
Shao Tianze narrowed his eyes, “Exactly.”
The a.s.sistant was somewhat hesitant, “Then…”
“I’ll have a dinner with her tonight.”
Hearing Shao Tianze, the a.s.sistant shocked and reminded him, “Chairman Shao, Miss Changle is waiting for you at home. She waits for you every day.”
Shao Tianze’s look changed slightly.
Of course he knew Gu Changle was waiting for his arrival. But since he met Ding Ali today, he could not just ignore her.
After all, it was rare to run into a woman who looked so similar to Changge.
The a.s.sistant waited for him to have a second thought.
However, Shao Tianze turned to him, “I believe you know how to explain it to Changle.”
The a.s.sistant knew that the responsibility to deceive Gu Changle had fallen on his shoulder.
He had no choice but to nod, “Okay, I’ll cover for you.”
After the interview, Ding Li’s heart was full of desire for love. Her face lighted up.
The film crew was ready to pack up. When they were almost done, Shao Tianze’s a.s.sistant came back.
He looked at Ding Ali with a smile, “Miss Ding, do you have a moment?”
Ding Ali recognized it was Shao Tianze’s a.s.sistant. She answered right away, “Sure.”
The a.s.sistant smiled while walking out of the parlor with her.
Seeing she went out with joy, the film crew sighed and shook their heads.
It was wide-known that Ding Ali looked like Shao Tianze’s wife, Gu Changge.
Their love story won unanimous praise from people in Yuncheng.
Now a woman who looked similar to Shao Tianze’s late wife showed up in front of him. It would be no surprise to them that Shao Tianze’s a.s.sistant came to Ding Ali alone.
Ding Ali followed Shao Tianze’s a.s.sistant to walk out of the parlor.
The a.s.sistant gave her a business card.
Ding Ali was stunned when she looked at the business card. She was puzzled, “What is this for?”
“This is Chairman Shao’s business card. He let me give it to you.”
Ding Ali stayed puzzled, “What does this mean?”
“He is inviting you for dinner tonight. Miss Ding, please be aware that you got to prepare yourself for it.”
