Lin Hai Ting Tao
Chapter 1206 Weibo Storm (Fourth Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
This new reporter was also average-looking, but didn't wear heavy makeup. She had glasses and a hint of intellectual beauty.
She dressed appropriately and professionally, and didn't deliberately expose her chest, bend over, or stick out her buttocks in front of Chen Hero, using those "men and women both understand" movements to seduce Chen Hero…
In short, she was a purely professional reporter.
With a professional and pure reporter, things were much easier to handle. Chen Hero also let the other three people see another side of him, realizing that he wasn't an unreasonable or mean person. His meanness depended on the target; if you didn't provoke him, he wouldn't provoke you.
Facing this substitute female reporter, Chen Hero was very gentlemanly.
The three people watched and sighed in their hearts: comparing people is infuriating, who knows what the Zou reporter would think if she saw this scene… Alas, it's a good thing she's not in Liverpool now!
The exclusive interview went smoothly. Chen Hero showed on camera a day in the life of a professional football player who was both ordinary and extraordinary.
He woke up on time at eight o'clock in the morning, then washed, brushed his teeth, and had breakfast. After breakfast, he rested for a while and drove the production crew to the training base.
The production crew received special permission from Liverpool and was the only one allowed to film inside the training ground and locker room.
From this level of treatment, one could understand why the television station's leaders preferred to replace their reporter with good connections rather than give up this interview opportunity.
They had put in so much effort, and no one wanted to give up because of one woman.
After filming the training, they followed Chen Hero home to film his evening entertainment and leisure activities, then said goodbye and left.
The next day, they came back to film for half a day, plus interview Chen Hero's teammates and coach, showing the audience a comprehensive Chen Hero from various angles, allowing everyone to learn about some of Chen Hero's private life, and also to learn what kind of person Chen Hero was in the eyes of his teammates.
The whole process was not difficult, because the preliminary work had been done.
But it was almost ruined by a self-righteous female reporter.
During the last half-day of filming, they happened to run into Chen Hero's girlfriend, Christine Cabella, returning to Liverpool from Italy. Chen Hero went to pick her up at the airport, so the crew took some additional shots.
In short, although there were some twists and turns before, the final result was satisfactory to both parties.

As for that Zou reporter, Chen Hero had long thrown her, name and all, to Java.
He thought the matter was over with the crew's return to China.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, Dekula called him and asked him to check out Sina Weibo in China.
Chen Hero found it strange.
Neither Weibo nor Twitter was directly managed by Chen Hero. He only occasionally went to post a few messages when he was in a good mood. Most of the time, a dedicated public relations team was responsible for maintaining them.
So he didn't know why Dekula would call him to go to Weibo.
"There are a lot of people on Weibo scolding you, Hero," Dekula explained.
"Let them scold." Chen Hero didn't care. He wasn't a naive newbie who knew nothing about the online world. He knew that in this big forest of the Internet, there were all kinds of birds. Some people liked him, and naturally, some people hated him. It was just that in reality, these people couldn't let him know because of various limitations. But on the Internet, it was different. The cost of going online was ridiculously low. Anyone with a computer and the Internet could go online. Therefore, all kinds of people you rarely see in the real world, you would find them appearing in groups online. This was especially obvious in the Weibo world, not only in China's Weibo, but also in the foreign Weibo "Twitter."
So Chen Hero had seen many people scolding him and didn't take it seriously.
"This time is different, Hero. Some people with a lot of influence on Weibo are also scolding you…"
"Huh?" Chen Hero was even more surprised. The people who used to scold him were all nobodies—people with no identity verification, no detailed registration information, and no self-introduction. Who knew if they were people or dogs?
He didn't expect that this time, so many people with names, surnames, and real identity verification would come out to scold him.
"Why are they scolding me?"
"It's still about that interview…" Dekula told Chen Hero the reason, and Chen Hero finally understood.
It turned out that after being disqualified from the interview on the spot, the female reporter surnamed Zou became more and more angry. That night, in the hotel, she used her mobile phone to post several Weibo messages scolding Chen Hero.
She said that Chen Hero insulted women and sarcastically implied that she was a prostitute in a nightclub. She said that Chen Hero had no manners and no celebrity demeanor at all. She said that Chen Hero was mean and not a man. She said that Chen Hero was showing off because he had some fame, but in fact, everyone was born unequal, and we were all the same, so why did he look down on people?
Anyway, she spammed a page, and also @-mentioned the V-certified people who usually praised her on Weibo. Obviously, she was looking for someone to help her.
It had to be said that on Weibo, this active female knight was quite popular. Many V-certified people forwarded her posts and denounced Chen Hero with her.
Then, the matter gradually fermented until Xie Liang, who was always at odds with Chen Hero, stood up to support the Zou female knight, claiming that a man publicly insulting a woman like that deserved a beating. If Chen Hero dared to appear in front of him, he would definitely beat Chen Hero without hesitation. Not to mention Chen Hero, even the King of Football, Pele, would be beaten.
Since Xie Liang changed his career to become a public intellectual—although he later denied it, but the reason for the denial was that the title had become stinky—his popularity on the Internet had soared, and he was already a very influential public figure on Weibo, with over eight million Weibo fans.
His statement had a great impact.
However, because he used to be a football journalist who wrote football reviews, some of his fans were also football fans.
Xie Liang scolding Chen Hero was unacceptable to the fans. No matter what, Chen Hero's prestige among the fans was quite high. Although his temper was bad, everyone had long accepted it. These days, people who still liked Chen Hero must have accepted his personality and temper.
Xie Liang scolding Chen Hero for deserving a beating, wasn't that slapping the faces of Chen Hero's fans?
Immediately, the two sides started fighting. People who supported Chen Hero fought with Xie Liang and a group of other elite V-certified people.
The matter grew bigger and bigger, and the influence spread, and even some mainstream media paid attention to it. A certain portal website even created a special topic to discuss whether men should scold women, even if they had a reason. Of course, the website's special topic was clearly sitting on the Zou reporter's side.
To be honest, men bullying women was a taboo. Although everyone said "gender equality," it had never really been achieved. Men still had deep-rooted male chauvinism, and "hitting women" and "scolding women" were both classified as "bullying women," which was absolutely unacceptable.
People who supported the Zou reporter kept shouting: "No matter what the reason, bullying women is wrong! It's cowardly! It's useless!"
And Chen Hero's fans, due to the lack of on-site information and evidence, could only argue with the other side about the wording. Or they said that regarding the situation at the time, there was only the Zou reporter's side of the story, which was really hard to believe.
This argument naturally attracted the attention of Chen Hero's Weibo management team, but this matter was very tricky, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so Dekula called to ask Chen Hero.
After Chen Hero understood, he said to Dekula: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll handle it."
※※※
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hero personally logged into his Sina Weibo account. He didn't even need to search for his name. The second-ranked "Hot Topic" on the far right was the battle between him and the Zou reporter…
After clicking in and reading the comments of the people who were jumping the most, Chen Hero was furious…
If that Zou reporter was in front of him now, he would kick her without hesitation. He didn't care about the debate about whether he should hit a woman or not. His principle had always been "if you make a mistake and provoke me, then I won't be polite to you." This principle didn't mention whether the person who offended him was male or female.
Now he regretted that he had scolded her too lightly at the time.
Now, he had to say something first.
He entered his Weibo and began to fight back: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Hero, whose entire family of eighteen generations has been scolded to death eight times by you during this time. Regarding the reporter's claim that I insulted her, I admit it, I did insult her. But there was a reason, I was just reminding her, who was dressed like a prostitute, to have self-respect and self-love in front of me, and she attacked me frantically. When it comes to scolding people, the Zou reporter is also an expert."
One message was not enough, so he posted another one. After explaining the matter clearly for several days in a row, Chen Hero turned his guns and aimed them at Xie Liang, who was always eager to jump out and get beaten.
"This Xie Big Mouth, I still remember when you blackmailed me in Chengdu, saying that if I didn't give you a red envelope, you wouldn't let my interview be published in the newspaper. What? Great people are forgetful, it's only been a few years, and you've forgotten? You still have the nerve to hit me? I already regretted not hitting you back then."
"Now I thank you for helping me make up for this regret. Since I want to hit you, and you also want to hit me, how about we make a bet on Weibo? You're in Chengdu, right? I won't bother you, I'll take the time to fly back to Chengdu, how about we have a fight in Tianfu Square? I can beat you to death ten times with one finger, don't say I'm bullying you then!"
For those V-certified elites who were clamoring along with the Zou female knight, Chen Hero only had one sentence to send to them: "Men who can't move their legs when they see women, and have nothing left in their brains except sex, I have one sentence for you—go back and jerk off yourselves! Ahahaha!"
