123 Workplace Philosophy
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
The scene finally became quiet, but the noise and heat waves remaining in the air were still surging. The reporters were still ready to move. One by one, the figures who were eager to try could not keep sitting. Everyone was trying to compete for the first opportunity to ask questions, but in the end they were not in a hurry to speak, otherwise the audience would burst out, and the result was that no one could complete the interview smoothly.
Standing in the center of the focus, Lu Yiqi couldn't help but smile in his eyes. The familiar scene turned the position upside down, which was indeed a rare landscape.
"Please relax, I believe the Longhorns won't sprinkle round nails on the chairs in the press room. What's more, I feel like someone has locked the door. Before the interview is over, I shouldn't be able to escape. We have enough time to fight each other. Why don't we slow down?"
Lu Yiqi quipped in a relaxed tone, and the reporters on the scene couldn't help but look at each other: Are they being teased? Or are they being criticized? Wait, what did Lu Yiqi show when he faced reporters before? The guy in front of him was still so strange.
This is the fifth week of NCAA, but no one remembers what happened before, like amnesia - because no one took him seriously before, even after the opening game, the bustling attention was just surprised, but after the surprise, there was nothing left.
Lu Yiqi glanced at the audience, put the reporters' laughter and crying expressions into his eyes, and showed a smile, "Now you can get the microphone to start running."
Even though he was stunned, Lu Yiqi's voice had just fallen, he raised his arms in front of him, like a vast forest.
Lu Yiqi was also a little dazzled and could only click the first reporter to raise his hand based on his subconscious judgment - at least it looked like the first one.
"Hello, Noah, I am a reporter from the Austin Chronicle. How do you feel about this game? Did you expect such a result before the game?"
Local Austin media? No wonder the first question is so aggressive, and even preset the Wildcats' position in advance and are ready to launch an attack at any time.
"No one can predict the outcome of the game, otherwise I should have changed my career and stayed in Las Vegas for a long time, and my income should be more substantial."
A joke that was casually made a small number of reporters unable to hold back and burst out laughing, while the reporters asked the question looked a little ugly - this is not a joke, it should not be a joke.
Lu Yiqi changed the subject, "But in the process of preparing for the game, we must have fought for victory. We carefully studied the game video and formulated corresponding tactics to move towards victory. When we stood in the Memorial Stadium, we obviously did not come to lose the game. Fortunately, I had a group of very outstanding players and I perfectly executed the tactics today. It was hard for me to be unsatisfied with the final result of the game."
Similarly, Lu Yiqi also ended his answer with a double negation and fought back without hesitation; but the reporter who asked the question could not grasp the loophole and could not launch a continuous attack, which was really uncomfortable.
Of course, how could a clever reporter surrender like this? The reporter from the Austin Chronicle was still ready to continue his question, but Lu Yiqi said with a smile, "I guess asking questions is like queuing up. No one likes a lineup, so why not give the opportunity to the next one?"
The reporter was choked in his throat in one breath and almost coughed.
Strange! In my memory, Lu Yiqi, who had defeated Auburn University, was not so sharp-tongued! But looking at Lu Yiqi's sincere smile, I couldn't help but suspect that he was thinking about it. Maybe it was because the reporter always habitually assumed that every interviewee was an attacker?
With a lot of thoughts, the next question has come out.
"...How did you prepare for tactics? What roles did Pres and Latimer play? What roles did you play in it? What do you think of the position of the head coach? Do you think you are better than Pres? What are your plans after Pres returns?"
Sharp! Sharp! Sharp! Sharp!
Compared with local media that focus on personal grievances, other media have a much broader perspective, pointing to the core of the problem with blood.
Faced with such a question, Lu Yiqi not only did not nervous, but instead chuckled - this was the familiar rhythm, but the answer was absolutely not taken lightly, "I am the interim agent coach, there is no doubt. The head coach of the Wildcats is still Mr. Long Pres." There was no room for taking advantage of the loopholes.
How could Lu Yiqi not know about workplace philosophy? The 28-year-old Lu Yiqi just "looks" young, and it is impossible to stump him such a problem.
"Although Price is not able to participate in the team's affairs because of his illness, he is always with us. Our tactical preparations are still based on Pres' tactical system. I am responsible for the offense and Latimer is responsible for the defense. None of these contents have changed. In the end, I just completed the summary work. Obviously, I have not been able to reach the height of Pres. I still have a lot to learn."
Smile, polite, and sincere. Those eyes were full of sincerity. Even the official clichés were equally convincing, making people unable to help but want to believe it. Then Lu Yiqi added another sentence, completing the finishing touch for the straightforward answer, which instantly made people shine.
"Victory is obviously not a person's glory. Although I am very eager to get praise and attention, and greedily keep the spotlight on me, I still hope that everyone will not make things difficult for me."
That humble and polite smile, that low-key and modest tone, and even a little helplessness and fear, was completely a fledgling young man. That baby face, which was particularly tender in the eyes of Americans, was really convincing - was the irony just an illusion?
But the last sentence used a small self-deprecating joke and actively lowered his posture, which not only made the atmosphere liven up, but also made the reporter unable to continue attacking. The most important thing is that it is sincere and earnest, and those bright and deep eyes are enough to make the reporters on the scene believe all his words.
So, is this a rookie? Or... a super black-hearted person with rich experience and superior skills?
Wait, was the whole audience member being played with/betted by an unknown little guy? Is this a fantasy? Or is it a whimsical idea?
Originally, the reporters wanted to exchange information with each other, but after thinking about it carefully, they gave up on such an idea. They always felt that "I cannot make accurate judgments and were fooled by a young guy" was a bit embarrassing - they still thought it was impossible, they were only twenty-eight years old, and only the fourth press conference. Can they still become eloquent?
