Downstairs at the Planet Daily building, Samuel, holding the roses, instantly became the focus of everyone nearby.
"Such a big bouquet of roses, is he proposing? So romantic!"
"Does anyone here know him? Do You know who he's proposing to?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know either."
"He looks very young, and he's Asian. Could the person he's proposing to be a new young intern?"
"Possible!"
Amidst the whispering gossip, Lois Lane stared at Samuel, deep in thought.
"You know him? Or... he wouldn't be coming to propose to You, would he?" Lois Lane's partner, Jimmy Olsen, noticed her strangeness and joked with a smile.
Lois Lane shook her head and said: "How could that be? I just think he looks a little familiar, like I've seen him somewhere."
After thinking for a long time and not remembering, she simply stopped thinking about it.
"Let's go in."
Lois Lane looked at her partner, but found her partner shaking his head with a strange expression.
"He seems to really be looking for You. I... I won't disturb You two."
Saying that, her partner actually turned around and walked away.
Just as Lois Lane, with a bewildered look, was about to speak, the brightly colored roses already appeared before her eyes.
Looking at the strange man standing in front of her holding the roses, Lois Lane was completely stunned!
Really, he's looking for me?
But I don't know You!
As a reporter, recognizing and remembering people is the most basic ability. If You can't even remember people, even if news appears in front of You, You won't be able to spot it!
Lois Lane is an excellent reporter. She could be certain that she had definitely never formally interacted with this man, but she had definitely seen him!
Could it be that he fell in love with her at first sight after meeting somewhere? Secretly had a crush on her, and then finally mustered the courage to confess his feelings today?
It's not surprising that Lois Lane would think this way, nor is it surprising that she felt good about herself.
First of all, Samuel's appearance definitely didn't look like he had mistaken her for someone else; he was clearly coming for Lois Lane.
Secondly, Lois Lane was indeed very beautiful. Her long wine-red hair, coupled with her delicate and pretty face and well-proportioned figure, made her undoubtedly the flower of the newspaper office.
The number of men who had improper thoughts about her was countless. Most felt inferior and didn't dare to express their thoughts, and the rest... were all rejected!
Similar secret admirer confessions were not new to Lois Lane. It was just that the previous ones weren't so bold as to directly hold flowers and confess to her in broad daylight.
After all, being rejected after confessing is very embarrassing!
Lois Lane never dragged things out when dealing with such situations. Firstly, that was her personality, and secondly, she didn't want to give the other party the wrong idea, nor did she want to cause trouble for herself.
"Sorry, I currently have no intention of starting a relationship!" Lois Lane spoke first, directly using a business-like tone to cut off the other party.
What's done is done. Some words are easier to handle if not spoken. At the very least, he still had time to find a way out for himself.
Samuel nodded: "What a coincidence, neither do I."
???
You don't have this idea. What do you mean by putting on such a show?
Is it an excuse you're using to save face and then wrap things up?
This excuse -- is it polite?
Forget it, I won't bother!
Lois Lane shook her head inwardly, smiled at Samuel formulaically, nodded, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Samuel spoke.
"My name is Samuel."
Still going to pester me?
Lois Lane pretended not to hear and quickened her pace to leave.
It wasn't that he wasn't handsome enough, or that he wasn't outstanding enough. Well, whether he was outstanding or not, she didn't know. It was just that she was currently focused on her career and had no intention of pursuing a relationship at all.
So no matter who it was, no matter how good the other party's conditions were, her response was always the same!
However -- he was indeed quite handsome, and that exotic charm was truly captivating!
There was no trace of embarrassment on Samuel's face from being rejected. Instead, a smile that wasn't quite a smile lifted the corners of his lips. This slightly wicked smile made many female onlookers nearby feel a flutter in their hearts.
Perhaps today wasn't suitable for hitting on people. First General Ross, then Lois Lane, both rejected him.
Could it be that God is hinting that today I can only take the route of 'a twisted melon isn't sweet, but I'll eat it with sauce'?
Speaking of which, Lois Lane's blunt rejection really made Samuel feel a little unhappy!
If I can't wrong myself, I can only wrong others!
Samuel held the flowers in one hand and took out his phone with the other to contact Planet Daily's editor-in-chief, Perry White. Then, in his capacity as a shareholder of Planet Daily, he met with him and had him arrange a temporary office.
The shares of Planet Daily were acquired from Bruce Wayne and Wayne Group. In addition, Kyle International Group also acquired a portion of Planet Daily's shares, which have also been transferred to Samuel.
Let's put it this way, Samuel isn't the shareholder with the most shares in Planet Daily, but he is the individual shareholder with the most shares. If he wanted to dismiss the editor-in-chief without cause or interfere with the newspaper's operations, he might need to convene a board meeting.
Dismissing or making things difficult for Lois Lane?
It was just a matter of a single sentence.
In the temporary office, Editor-in-Chief Perry White couldn't figure out what this new shareholder's purpose was and could only accompany him cautiously.
...
"Editor White, I'll get straight to the point. I have no interest in the management and operations of the newspaper, and I am very satisfied with your ability. If needed, I can support you without reservation!"
"However, I have one condition!"
Perry White nodded without changing his expression: "What condition?"
Samuel said directly with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: "I'm interested in Lois Lane."
Perry White was stunned for a moment and said: "I don't quite understand, isn't this your personal matter?"
"No, you understand!"
Samuel shook his head and looked directly at him: "If you don't even understand this much, I advise you to resign as soon as possible and go back to your hometown to farm."
"I know you think highly of her, and I don't need you to actively do anything for me, just pass on a few words for me."
"Not difficult, is it?"
Lois Lane was his most valued subordinate, but now he was being asked to 'help the villain'!
Could it not be difficult?
There's nothing new under the Sun. Being in the workplace, he naturally understood this kind of thing, and at the same time, he was angry, unwilling...
However, the power of capital is strong. After weighing the pros and cons, he still compromised.
The reason for his compromise wasn't to gain Samuel's support, but because he couldn't stop Samuel's decision!
After all, anyone can pass on words!
And if he were to really fall out with him, he would have to be prepared to be swept out with Lois Lane!
"Tell Lois Lane she's been dismissed!"
