Compared to Valerie's emotional surging, Lu Yiqi's experienced Taoism and calmness do not look like he was thirty years old, nor does he look like he was the NFL head coach in his first year—
As we all know, there are only 32 teams in the entire league, with a total of 32 head coaches. This also means that each head coach is standing in the spotlight and paying attention to it. The bombardment and pervasiveness of the reporters are definitely not a casual joke. If you don’t pay attention, you may become the next sacrifice of the uncrowned king.
For every head coach, dealing with journalists and media is an indispensable part of their professional life. Even many head coaches who have been through the battlefield are hard to resist, let alone new young coaches.
But obviously, Lu Yiqi is an alien.
"You see, that's why we're destined to be friends."
Lu Yiqi smiled at Valerie, not accusing or criticizing, but a frank statement of a fact.
"It's not because you don't like apples, or I don't like winter night talks, but because we have different positions. We all have things that we need to protect and persist in, and obviously, both of us will not compromise easily."
"So, I think, we will continue to maintain the relationship between the interviewer and the interviewee. In this way, you can scold people more easily, and I can refuse more directly. This is a win-win situation."
Lu Yiqi's words made Valerie speech frustrated, vaguely restrained and unhappy, and a little... sour, but I couldn't tell why.
While the conversation was going on, Valerie didn't have time to think deeply and said reflexively, "Isn't your rejection straight enough?"
"Miss Granger, you should ask the reporter of the 'New York Post' for this question." Lu Yiqi directly said.
Valerie was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter-
All industry peers in the North American sports circle should have heard of this. The New York Post reporter Russ Weill tried to interview Lu Yiqi, but he encountered many walls, so he came up with a wonderful idea:
Leave a message on the phone and get bombarded.
Las continued to call Lu Yiqi's private cell phone and home phone number, filling the answering machine directly. Originally it was just a harassment at first, but it later turned into a retaliatory act. Even if Lu Yiqi deleted all the messages, Las was filled again.
Lu Yiqi never made any public attitude or opinion on this, which is also considered a signal of swallowing his anger.
This has also become Russ's proud "work". He not only promotes and spreads it among his peers, but also prepares to further escalate the prank:
He used letters to smack Lu Yiqi's mailbox, just like letters stuffed into the entire room in "Harry Potter".
But unfortunately, Russ' "escalation prank" was not implemented because before he started, he received a subpoena from a New York court-
Lu Yiqi sued the New York Post and Russ-Ville for harassing, stalking and threatening personal safety.
The real amazing part is that the messages on the answering machine were not deleted by Lu Yiqi, but were replaced with the tape, which actually recorded all of Las' behaviors one by one. Even the messages on the mobile phone were left with files, sorted into a book, and submitted as evidence.
Faced with the iron-like fact, Russ had no room for refutation, and the "New York Post" was even more embarrassed.
This is just the end of November.
Now the court is scheduled to hear the trial, and it is rumored that Russ may face a fine of $50,000 to $250,000, and may receive a court order prohibiting the circumference of five hundred meters near Lu Yiqi.
There are also rumors that the "New York Post" is seeking Lu Yiqi's understanding and is looking forward to reaching an out-of-court settlement, but Lu Yiqi has not yet let go, just saying that the regular season is in progress and it is not advisable to be distracted and discuss it after the season is over.
Originally, the New York Post responded very hard. They hoped that all news media could unify their positions and strongly condemn Lu Yiqi's behavior, especially the refusal of out-of-court settlement. This was undoubtedly a provocation of the authority of the uncrowned king, or even an insult.
But unexpectedly, the news media led by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are all on Lu Yiqi's side. Once the behavior of "invasion of private privacy" is too much, the boundary between serious media and supermarket tabloids will completely disappear, and the wave of entertainment to death will sweep into every ordinary person, and no one is spared, "We still have professional ethics that need respect."
After this incident, not only media reporters in the sports circle, but also other journalists such as entertainment, social, etc. have heard of Lu Yiqi's name.
In this way, it is no surprise that Lass repeatedly acted against tit for the press conference.
At this time, Lu Yiqi mentioned this matter in such a joking way, and Valerie could not hold back his smile and asked back, "Then do I need to express my gratitude?"
Lu Yiqi smiled and shook his head gently, "There is no need to say some words."
That is what "need to thank but there is no need to say it"?
Valerie looked at Lu Yiqi speechlessly, but the smile in Lu Yiqi's eyes surged, but Valerie didn't give up so easily, "Aqi, to be honest, is someone injured? I just need a sentence, yes, or isn't it? This should be fine, right?"
"Miss Granger." Lu Yiqi still smiled with a "good temper" and did not get angry. "In the eyes of some people, hospitals represent pain and death; in the eyes of some people, hospitals represent healing and rebirth. The same question can be interpreted as different, but obviously you have made assumptions in advance. My answer is yes or no. Is it still important to you?"
Since Lu Yiqi appeared in the hospital, reporters have assumed that the Green Bay Packers player had an injury and could not wait to come and dig out the exclusive.
In other words, before learning the truth, the reporters had already set their positions, so Valerie was asking about the injury from beginning to end.
If Lu Yiqi complained like this at this time... Could it be that someone had an injury? Or what does it mean? Could it be that someone was cured and was discharged from the hospital and Lu Yiqi came to visit him?
Valerie was surrounded by Lu Yiqi's words, and countless possibilities bloomed like fireworks.
"Good night, Miss Granger." Just as Valerie was about to ask a few more questions, Lu Yiqi had already ended the brief conversation in advance and turned around and took steps.
Valerie chased forward for two steps, "Aqi!" and called out, but then stopped. Looking at Lu Yiqi's slow pace, he stood there seriously and thought about it. In the end, he still couldn't clarify a vein, so he turned around and rushed towards the hospital:
No matter what, the truth is in the hospital.
