This reporter could almost rival an actor, standing there eavesdropping for a while before pretending nothing was amiss and leaving the hospital ward to make a phone call in the deserted garden.
The news editor was still groggy and sleepy, and through suppressed anger and yawns, said, "Xiaoli, why are you calling in the dead of night? Do you want your salary docked?"
The intern reporter Xiaoli let out a cold laugh, "Editor, I think you might need to give me a raise and make me a full-fledged reporter. I've got big news that will shock all of China."
Upon hearing this, the editor wondered if it was Xiaoli, not him, who was half-asleep!
Xiaoli said, "Experts in Haicheng found the manuscript of 'Records of the Mountain Moon' today, and it even includes the unpublished chapters 37 and 38. When we break the news tomorrow, it will definitely be the front-page headline!"
The editor asked, "Are you serious?"
Of course!
