Li Xia raised her phone to be level with her face. She asked Shen Yuan to buy Zhou Ping a set of high-definition portable live broadcast equipment. Now that Zhou Ping has used it, the picture on the other side of the video call is very clear.
Not only are Zhou Ping and the county magistrate in the picture, but in the background you can also see the large truck and the goods piled around the large truck. A group of men in simple clothes are carrying boxes one by one.
The scene was a bit noisy, but fortunately the equipment had good sound quality, and she could clearly hear every word spoken by Zhou Ping, the person in charge of transportation.
After Zhou Ping explained the situation to Li Xia, he immediately pulled the county magistrate to the center of the camera.
The county magistrate was wearing a clean Chinese tunic suit. There were no wrinkles in the tunic suit, which made the county magistrate appear to be in good spirits. However, the high-definition lens made Li Xia notice that there were small holes in the collar of the tunic suit, as well as on the bridge of the county magistrate's nose. The temples of my pair of rimmed glasses were still wrapped with transparent tape. Over time, the tape became dusty and started to fly.
All details prove the poverty of this county.
When the county magistrate saw Li Xia in the camera, he burst into tears with excitement.
As one of the poorest counties in the country, their county receives donations from various charitable organizations in addition to government poverty alleviation every year. However, every time the news reports that these organizations have donated tens or millions to them, in fact, the amount of donations actually reaches them. It would be good to have one fifth in their hands.
They have no complaints about this kind of thing, but they dare not speak out because they are afraid that they will lose even the last fifth.
This time it was different.
More than half a month ago, they received a call from a charity they had never heard of, saying that a woman named Xu Zhiyu wanted to donate winter clothes to the county and asked about the demand.
The county magistrate quoted 10,000 pieces. Winter coats are not cheap. Even if the wholesale price is tens of dollars a piece, 10,000 pieces would cost hundreds of thousands. He did not dare to quote more, and he was prepared that the actual quantity would be greatly discounted. preparation.
Unexpectedly, when this batch of clothes was delivered, not only was the quantity not small, but there were two thousand more children's clothes. The person in charge said that this was a special order from the boss Xu Zhiyu. Children's toys are prone to wear and tear.
This surprised and delighted the county magistrate, but more importantly, he was moved.
He had just touched those down jackets. They were thin, soft and very warm and resistant to dirt. The donors really put their heart into helping them. Unlike some donors who are trying to gain a good reputation, the materials they donate are defective and cannot be used at all, but they are still asked to express their gratitude over and over again during interviews.
The county magistrate looked at the beautiful woman in the video and didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only say thank you and express his gratitude to Xu Zhiyu on behalf of the people of the county.
Li Xia smiled and waited for the county magistrate to finish speaking, then said, "County magistrate, you don't have to be so polite. I just did what I could."
As Li Xia spoke, he turned away and looked at the group of reporters in front of him who looked a little embarrassed. He felt secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.
She said: "County Magistrate, I am being interviewed by reporters now. How about you tell the reporters about the current situation in your county and let them report it? Your county will definitely get more social attention, and maybe you can find someone. ways to improve economic conditions.”
When the county magistrate heard that it could improve the county's economic situation, he would not refuse and agreed without saying a word.
Li Xia turned the screen of his mobile phone to the reporters, bringing them face to face with the county magistrate.
The county magistrate first expressed his gratitude to Li Xia again to the reporters, and then immediately got to the point, briefly and comprehensively explaining the current situation of the county, as well as the county's specialties: potatoes, sweet potatoes, red pomelo, etc.
Hearing these contents, Xu Zhiyu’s donation received the strongest confirmation.
At first, everyone agreed that Xu Zhiyu had paid nothing, and before the interview even started, they had already conceived an eight hundred-word criticism of Xu Zhiyu in their minds.
But now, this video call has completely subverted their perceptions.
Xu Zhiyu not only donated money, but also personally arranged for people to deliver supplies to impoverished areas, spending money and effort to do real good deeds.
Reality slapped them in the face mercilessly.
As entertainment reporters, they cover whatever netizens pay attention to and report the most explosive first-hand news to gain traffic.
But now, not only did they not get to interview Xu Zhiyu's breaking news, but they were also asked to interview such unpopular content about a poor county. They felt embarrassed and embarrassed that they had simply stolen the chicken but lost the rice.
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he expressed his gratitude to Li Xia again before hanging up the video.
The video call lasted only twenty minutes, but these reporters found these twenty minutes extremely difficult.
Li Xia put away her phone and looked into the eyes of the female reporter who had the most aggressive tone before, "Do you believe it now?"
"Miss Xu, yes..." The female reporter wanted to apologize for her previous wrong judgment, but Li Xia did not give her this chance.
Li Xia pushed aside the crowd and walked out with high heels, leaving only the reporters behind.
After getting in the car, Li Xia recalled the frustrated look on the female reporter's face, couldn't restrain her inner joy, and laughed.
No wonder there are so many inaccurate news reports on the Internet, all because of the existence of such a group of reporters.
Reporters should be objective about the people and things they are interviewing and investigating, but the few people just now, especially the female reporter, aggressively insisted that she did not donate. They were not interviewing them, and they were clearly trying to force her to admit it.
Ning Meng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, saw Li Xia was so happy and asked, "Miss Xu, what are you so happy about?"
Li Xia pointed to the group of reporters and photographers outside the window who had not yet left. Ning Meng instantly understood what happened and immediately apologized: "Miss Xu, it was my dereliction of duty just now."
"It's okay, I asked you to stay in the car."
"Then are you okay?"
"It's okay. It's been solved. Just wait and see the news."
Whether she donated money or not is currently the most concerned topic among netizens. Even if these reporters are slapped in the face by her, they will definitely report it for the sake of traffic.
"Mengmeng, help me find out which media the leading female reporter comes from."
"good."
Through the glass window, Ning Meng took a photo of the female reporter, and then sent the photo to a WeChat friend.
Half an hour later, Li Xia got all the information about the female reporter.
The female reporter comes from an online media company called "Peacock Entertainment". This company is small and is still in its infancy.
Li Xia immediately called Peacock Entertainment, revealed her identity, and then severely condemned the female reporter of the other company. She also said that the female reporter's behavior was humiliating to herself, and she wanted to sue the company.
Everyone in the media industry knows about Xu Zhiyu's 700 million mansion. Litigation with such a wealthy person is a dead end.
Peacock Entertainment immediately stated that it would fire the female reporter and provide professional training to other reporters in the company so that such a thing would never happen again.
Peacock Entertainment's apology attitude was very good, and Li Xia was very satisfied, but she did not give up, but put forward a condition.

Journalists always report on controversial and topical news content quickly.
Just after lunch time, a big V account certified as "Peacock Entertainment Reporter" on Weibo posted a news report with the title: #Xu Zhiyu did not donate fraudulently, and the donation of 100 million has already been put into effect# .
There was no exaggerated rhetoric in the report, and it was written as if it were a factual statement. Li Xia donated 12,000 down jackets to impoverished counties. In addition, the construction of Hope Primary School and library has also begun.
Because the matter of Xu Zhiyu's fraudulent donation was very popular and continued to be paid attention to by many netizens, this report attracted many netizens as soon as it was published.
After reading the report, these netizens did not believe that there was any authenticity in this report, and the comment area was full of ridicule.
"Others call it Phoenix Entertainment, and you call it Peacock Entertainment. How can we have real reports if the names are plagiarized from others? I won't get paid for this news and I will live broadcast it to eat shit."
"Xu Zhiyu bought 12,000 down jackets for impoverished counties? If he really donated the money, would you report it?"
"Sit back and watch how Xu Zhiyu washes [smile]"
“…”
This Peacock Entertainment report was a text-only version with several photos of Li Xia interspersed without any strong evidence. It was quickly forwarded by major marketing accounts and became a trending search within three hours. .
Li Xia clicked on the topics related to her from the hot search page and browsed the Weibo content that mocked herself. Not only was she not angry in her heart, but an emoticon that said "I'll just watch you pretending to be cool" appeared in her heart.
After turning two pages, Li Xia saw that her hot search ranking had climbed two more places, and she made a call.
After the person on the other end of the phone connected, Li Xia said: "It's almost done, you can send it."
"Okay, Miss Xu."

After the Peacock Entertainment report was published, several other media outlets also reported the matter one after another. The content was exactly the same as that of Peacock Entertainment, and there was also no evidence to prove that Xu Zhiyu made a donation.
The keyboard warriors who originally believed that Xu Zhiyu had not donated money were furious when they caught this.
"With so many media celebrities reposting it, Xu Zhiyu is definitely trying to clear her name. These rich people are really ridiculous. They can spend 700 million to buy a house, so what if they donate 100 million?"
"The empty words and unsubstantiated whitewash, this wave of operations is simply crazy. For Xu Zhiyu, who has been in trouble all his life, I will never touch her products in this life."
"The professional keyboard warrior upstairs, the one who closes his eyes and trolls is the best at 6. Let me ask you what product does Xu Zhiyu make?"
"If Xu Zhiyu really donates 100 million, I will live broadcast eating."
"@PeacockEntertainment How much did you charge? Since this kind of article can be written, please provide evidence!"
…
Netizens went crazy @peacockentertainment asking for evidence, so the big V blogger who was certified as a "peacock entertainment reporter" updated another Weibo post.
This Weibo is a twenty-minute video.
