After Mary finished writing the manuscript, she went to the pantry to make herself a cup of coffee to refresh herself. As soon as she came out, she saw Derek standing at the door of the office and asked, "Who knows, where did Mary go?"

Mary hurriedly raised her hand and said, "I was in, uh, the tea room, just now."

Derek nodded kindly, waved to her and said, "Okay, come in with me!"

Mary responded and entered Derek's office with a coffee cup.

"Today's manuscript of the heir to Odyssey is well written, especially the section on family members. I have already inquired about it. Zach Odyssey refused to be interviewed by the media. Your ability to interview him undoubtedly gave the manuscript great readability. Good job , Mary!" Derek sat down, clasped his hands on the table, with a smile on his face that Mary hadn't seen for a long time, well, at least she hadn't seen such a gentle expression on Derek's face recently.

"Zach refuses media interviews?" Mary was surprised, remembering his behavior today, then nodded understandingly, his state of *blocked keywords* is not suitable for media interviews, and now many colleagues like to take things out of context Grasp some points to make a big brain hole, for example, if the interviewee's eyes show a little expression that is contrary to normal emotions, they can exaggerate their words to attract people's attention and incite readers' emotions.

"I heard Tom say that you and Zack Odyssey are friends?" Derek asked.

Mary hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Derek didn't continue to ask anything, just smiled and said: "I really didn't misread you, your network resources can be said to be very good, very good, this may not be very useful for investigative reporters, but for us Say, it's very important! Whether it's the upper class elite or the beggar bum, they may provide you with important clues, so keep it up!"

Mary smiled silently, with a hint of helplessness in her smile. She disagreed with what Derek said. Networks are also very important for investigative reporters. Many of her previous clues were provided by people she knew, among which Zach gave She has given her a lot of support, otherwise the relationship with the Stark Group's public relations department will not be maintained so well. At least, in the evaluation of the same line reporter, the Stark Group's public relations department because of Tony Stark, That's notoriously difficult to deal with.

Derek finished his compliment, looked at the computer screen for a while, and said, "Okay, now let's talk about your manuscript. Sit down!"

Mary pulled the chair as promised, sat down opposite him, put the coffee cup on the table, and listened carefully to what he said in the manuscript that needed to be adjusted and revised.

While thinking about it, Derek said: "You strengthen the part of the red-haired woman, do you understand what I mean? I need you to write more fragrant, colorful, seductive, fascinating, and attract people's imagination. To be a reader When I read this passage, I will be surprised that Edward Odyssey has such wind, flow, rhyme, and things. Everyone knows that the two Odyssey brothers, especially Edward Odyssey, have always been very self-disciplined, and there is no *blocked keywords* , don't you? You've got to try and get everyone to focus on that, and the police interview doesn't really matter as to whether he was *masked keyword*."

Mary looked at Derek for a long time, nodded and said, "I'll try my best, give it a try."

Derek glanced at her, then turned his attention to the computer screen, and said, "Don't be reluctant, don't forget who we are, Mary."

"I haven't forgotten!" Mary looked down at the coffee cup in front of her, "I know I'm a paparazzi."

"Fine, keep it in your head!" Derek said, pausing for a moment, "Also, you need to add Zack Odyssey's emotional description, you have to amplify the emotion between brothers. Look, Zack Ke Odyssey, a handsome, talented and wealthy golden bachelor, the only heir of Odyssey, and the future ruler, lost his father and younger brother in a short period of time. What a sad thing, you have to recall The sympathy for him from the women who read your words, understand what I mean?"

The corners of Mary's mouth twitched a few times, she forced a smile, and said, "There's no need to do this, is there?"

"Must!" Derek tapped his fingers on the table, stared at her and said, "Listen, I know you are still adjusting to your new professional identity, but I have to remind you, Mary, no matter what you do, What kind of news, whether it is social news or entertainment news, in the current era of information explosion, you must not hold the outdated thinking of being a reporter. The media is no longer the uncrowned king, and the reporter is not a profession that overlooks all beings from above , especially as a paparazzi, it is very important to find our accurate position, understand? You have to know what our readers want to see and what they want to know." He tapped heavily on the desktop, "Your news Point, grab their hearts!"

Mary looked up at him, and stretched out her hand to push up the frame of the glasses slightly. Although she disagreed with what he said, she wanted to strengthen the description of Zach's identity and his sadness, but Derek was right. , Journalists have never been a high-ranking profession, and they are no longer uncrowned kings.The most important thing is that the media has passed the period when the public will unconditionally accept whatever content they produce. In this era of information explosion, readers actively choose to read the content they like among the many information. Therefore, in order to compete for the attention of the public , whether it is the way of news dissemination or the idea of ​​making press releases, they have all clearly knelt in the direction of marketization.

Derek stared at Mary's pensive face, and waited for a while before asking, "Got it now?"

Mary nodded and said, "I see what you mean." She smiled, "But, those changes you said about Zach, I'm sorry, I can't do it."

Derek's face sank slightly, and he asked, "Sorry, what did you say?"

"Zach is my friend, he lost his father and brother, and I played up his situation in the manuscript, which is definitely a kind of injury to him, so, sorry, Derek, I can't do it!"

Derek stared at her for a long time. Unexpectedly, Mary did not get angry, but nodded very calmly, and said: "Okay, then the content of Zac Odyssey will remain the same, I hope you can put the red-haired woman Write this paragraph carefully."

Mary looked at him, nodded, and said, "I will."

Derek leaned back in the chair, with a faint smile on his face, and said with an expectant tone: "This exclusive, I believe you will modify it very well, but..." The corner of his mouth slightly curved, and asked: " Captain America, how are you doing?"

Mary breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Wait a minute!" Then she walked to her desk in the office hall. She walked to the desk and took the T-shirt wrapped in newspaper from her bag. The shirt was taken out, and Tom made a gesture towards her, to the effect that your manuscript is well written, and I would like to give you a thumbs up.She smiled and turned back to Derek's office.

Derek watched Mary go back and forth, a faint look of curiosity flashed in his eyes, of course, he didn't let her notice, but silently watched Mary put the soft-looking thing wrapped in newspaper on the To his desktop, he asked: "What is this?"

Mary smiled and said, "A nice Thanksgiving gift."

Hearing this, Derek squinted slightly, staring at her as she slowly unfolded the newspaper, revealing the folded white T-shirt inside, and asked, "You, are you giving me a Thanksgiving gift?"

"No, of course not!" Mary laughed, picked up the white T-shirt and unfolded it in front of him, and said, "Strictly speaking, I think this can be... a Thanksgiving gift for readers."

Derek stared silently at the funny-looking monkey on the white T-shirt, and said, "Did you draw it?"

Mary smiled, shook her head and said, "No, it wasn't me, it was drawn by Captain America!" Then, holding the T-shirt with her chin, she pointed to the signature with her free hand: "Steven Rogers' name is in here."

"Steven Rogers." Derek looked at her calmly, "Yes, that's the name of Captain America, but miss, what are you signing here?"

"Steven!" Mary replied very fluently: "Of course, although Captain America didn't sign his full name, don't everyone know his name? This is the monkey he drew. Look, it's very good, right? ? He also put a blue cap on the monkey"

"Crack!" Derek slapped the table hard, trying not to be so angry, he pressed his temple, suppressed his temper and said, "Enough!"

Mary looked at Derek in bewilderment.

Derek stared at the ridiculous little monkey, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you kidding me? There are countless Stevens in the whole country, but there is only one Steven Rogers. Your signature has no surname. I totally You could say this shit was drawn by Steven*A, or Steven*B, do you think just by writing Steven's name, people will believe it was drawn by Captain America? I can give you the same right away Draw one with Steven's name on it, and tell you it was drawn by Captain America, do you believe it?"

Mary looked down at Steven's beautifully signed handwriting, and muttered, "Even if you sign it, you can't write such beautiful handwriting!"

"What did you say?" Derek frowned, looked at her patiently and said, "Mary Winston, what I need is not this so-called Captain America's crap, I need you to write exclusive stories like today's heir to the Odyssey. Come on! So, put this away and revise the manuscript, I will give you an hour, and after an hour, show me your complete manuscript!"

Mary looked up, looked at Derek and said, "This is really drawn by Captain America, and the signature is real!"

Derek looked at Mary, she looked at herself seriously, trying to convince him, she couldn't help but shook her head amusedly, and said, "Even if it was really drawn by Captain America, he also wrote the words, it's useless for you to convince me, Mary, show this thing to everyone, and no one will believe you!" After speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Maybe...you can ask him to complete the signature."

Mary looked embarrassed and said, "Well, maybe it's a little difficult." After all, this signature is also a windfall. If she wants to ask Steven to sign again, she feels that she can't speak well. In addition, she is not sure about herself. Can we meet them again.

"Then, don't worry about this, go ahead, show me your exclusive, and then, have a good Thanksgiving tomorrow." Derek waved his hand, motioned her to go out to work, and then turned his head Open the webpage and look at it.

Mary silently packed up the T-shirt carefully, picked up the coffee cup that had been on Derek's desk, and walked out of his office.
