Chapter 34: Stopped by the Gatekeeper!
“is this happiness community?”
“i didn’t expect that qi xuan’s family would live in such an old house.”
looking at the old residential building across the street, the brightly dressed reporter sun weike couldn’t help but feel a touch of emotion.
li qiang, who was carrying the camera beside her, calmly said:
“before they went to the floating continent, they were just ordinary people. it’s not strange even if they lived in a cave.”
“i don’t agree with that. what era is this? and they still live in a cave?”
sun weike pursed her lips and walked forward in high heels.
after crossing the street and arriving at the entrance of the community, the two were stopped by the stern-faced gatekeepers.
“who are you? what are you doing here?”
sun weike looked at the two gatekeepers, who were obviously too young, and was quite surprised.
normally, the gatekeepers of this kind of old community shouldn’t be old men who can’t even put together eight teeth? how could they be such strong young people? has the employment situation become so severe?
putting away her thoughts, sun weike quickly took out her press card:
“hello, big brothers. i am a reporter from cctv, and this is my companion. we are here to interview qi xuan’s parents.”
“interview?”
the two young gatekeepers looked at each other, and then the one on the left with a crew cut shook his head:
“sorry, mr. qi’s parents are not accepting interviews at the moment. please go back.”
sun weike naturally knew that the other party would not accept the interview.
cctv had previously sent an interview invitation to qi xuan’s parents, but they directly refused without any hesitation.
sun weike felt a thousand things she couldn’t understand.
they were cctv.
a national media.
what a great honor it would be to be interviewed by them?
this was an opportunity that countless people couldn’t even ask for.
how could they refuse?
she secretly brought people here, preparing to block the door directly, to reason with them and move them with sincerity, and she didn’t believe they wouldn’t accept the interview.
who would have thought that they would be stopped by the gatekeepers when they reached the entrance of the community!
looking at the gatekeepers, sun weike felt a pain in her chest, but she had to put on a flattering smile and said in a low voice:
“big brothers, please be accommodating. we are just going in for an interview and won’t cause you any trouble.”
“we have our rules and regulations. no means no.”
“just fifteen minutes.”
“fifteen minutes is also not allowed.”
……
seeing that the two gatekeepers were unmoved and still refused to let them in, li qiang, who was on the side, almost laughed:
“are you gatekeepers or bodyguards? it’s not your place to decide whether the community residents accept interviews or not?”
“you’re right,”
the crew cut suddenly took out his identification:
“we are indeed a special operations team sent by the state, specifically responsible for protecting mr. qi and ms. zhao’s personal safety, and preventing any danger that could harm them.”
the two felt it was absurd.
the state would arrange special forces to protect two ordinary people?
before they could refute, a shout suddenly came from the other side:
“someone is climbing the fence into the community!”
they saw a young man with purple hair climbing into the community from more than thirty meters away, and running towards the residential building. but before he could run far, he was knocked to the ground by several young people who rushed out from all directions.
“i just want to go up and take a video, you can’t do this to me!”
“behave!”
“i am a big internet celebrity with millions of fans! quickly let me go! i want to expose you! i want to expose you!”
“handcuff him!”
seeing that the internet celebrity was handcuffed and taken away, sun weike and li qiang couldn’t help but look at each other.
handcuffs are not something ordinary security guards are qualified to use. could it be that these people are really special forces arranged by the state?
“we already warned them, and one or two of them had to come in to get traffic. is it because our warning tone wasn’t harsh enough?”
his companion looked at the crew cut with some doubt.
the crew cut sneered:
“who cares, they’ll calm down after a few days in the bureau.”
sun weike felt a sense of guilt.
she was also planning to climb the wall just now.
she didn’t expect that these people not only guarded the gate, but also arranged a lot of people in the community.
i’m leaving.
the two walked away.
looking at the residential building that was within easy reach, sun weike ground her teeth.
she had come all the way from the imperial capital, and if she didn’t get anything and returned empty-handed, it would be too embarrassing.
not to mention the criticisms from her colleagues, just thinking about the expenses along the way, she felt a pain in her heart.
li qiang, who was next to her, was also muttering with dissatisfaction:
“just two ordinary people, is it necessary to send special forces to protect them? this is too much ado about nothing.”
“that’s not much ado about nothing.”
an old man’s t-shirt uncle passed by with a middle school student, and couldn’t help but stop when he heard his words.
“since little qi started live streaming, we’ve already caught three spies in our community, and we don’t know how many more there are in secret. the team leader said that the performance in the past few days is almost the same as that of several years. now the security guards in our community are very popular, and a lot of people are rushing to be them.”
sun weike and the two looked at each other.
“what are those people doing here?”
li qiang lit a cigarette and started chatting on the spot.
“what can they do? of course, they are inquiring about information!”
the uncle put the cigarette on his ear and waved his hand:
“those guys from foreign countries also have foresight. they sent people over early to inquire about little qi’s information. if they can go to the floating continent in the future and meet little qi there, they will definitely be able to use it.
i heard that they also planned several kidnapping cases, preparing to kidnap little qi’s parents, and then blackmail little qi. so donghai xiulan and the others are now very low-key, trying not to show their faces, so as not to cause trouble for little qi.
……”
listening to the uncle’s chatter, sun weike suddenly had an idea and asked on the spot:
“uncle, are you very familiar with qi xuan’s family?”
“of course, i live downstairs from their house, neighbors for decades, how can i not be familiar? i also helped take care of little qi for a while when he was a child.”
sun weike’s eyes lit up, and she quickly took out her press card:
“hello, uncle, i am a reporter from cctv. i came here today to interview qi xuan’s parents, but i didn’t expect to be able to. since you are very familiar with the qi family, can i ask you some questions related to qi xuan?”
the uncle immediately became embarrassed:
“cctv, this, did you record what i just said?”
“no, no, no, the camera is not on.”
“that’s good, that’s good, don’t hurt the feelings of international friends. we still welcome friends from lighthouse country and island country to come to our jiang city to walk around. our jiang city’s sanhe rice dumplings are very delicious. you can try them if you have the chance. speaking of this sanhe rice dumplings, we have to mention the battle of sanhe, this battle of sanhe is the taiping heavenly kingdom……”
“uncle, let’s talk about little qi.”
sun weike interrupted in a hurry, and at the same time waved to li qiang to quickly turn on the camera.
facing the camera, the uncle, who was still hesitating whether to accept the interview, smoothed over the few hairs left on his forehead and began to talk endlessly:
“little qi, little qi is really a good child……”
