He originally thought Zhao Xuehui would understand him.

But to everyone's surprise, when Zhao Xuehui heard Zhou Changgui's words, her first thought was that he was just making excuses for her.

If we really want to explain this clearly, the 49 Newspaper is not the only medium.

Isn't the largest newspaper in Yanjing (Beijing) the Xinhua News Agency?

If we hand this over to Xinhua News Agency for reporting, wouldn't the matter be clarified?

For the first time, Zhao Xuehui felt a surge of dissatisfaction with Zhou Changgui.

Even so, she knew that it was not good to fall out with Zhou Changgui before this matter was over.

Moreover, judging from the other party's appearance, they really seem to know nothing about it.

Since that's the case, she shouldn't be angry with the other party, since Zhou Changgui still needs to explain things clearly.

Thinking this, Zhao Xuehui's expression softened, and she could only sigh.

"Alright then, but since this has already happened, I still hope that you, Teacher Zhou, can help me out. I can't let my younger brother be smeared because of this."

"Since the Sijiu Newspaper can't publish it, why don't you go to the Xinhua News Agency, Teacher Zhou? I think the editor-in-chief will agree to your request, after all, it would be a good thing to clear your name."

Therefore, Xinhua News Agency would absolutely not let go of such an opportunity that could make the newspaper sell like hotcakes.

Since Zhao Xuehui had said so, Zhou Changgui knew that this would happen sooner or later, even if he was unwilling.

He could only nod and say, "Alright then, in that case, I'll try to see if I can get in touch with Editor-in-Chief Zhao of Xinhua News Agency and discuss this matter with him to clarify things."

At this moment, Zhao Xuehui had no idea that Zhou Changgui had been secretly stirring up trouble from the very beginning.

If he hadn't arranged for people to spread the word and even had the matter published in the Sijiu Newspaper, Jiang Sheng's affair wouldn't have been discovered so quickly.

Even if we were discovered, we wouldn't be in such a passive position as we are now.

Zhou Changgui was unwilling, but Zhao Xuehui had already come to him. If he really refused, Zhao Xuehui would probably be angry with him.

Now is not the time to break ties with Zhao Xuehui. After all, Zhao Xuehui's family is so wealthy. If he didn't gain any advantage, Zhou Changgui certainly wouldn't do such a losing deal as breaking up with her.

After planning for so long, Zhao Xuehui should give him a taste of success.

Thinking about this, he subconsciously thought of the upcoming Army Day celebration party on August 1st.

Although it was just a get-together between the radio station and the television station, he was a specially appointed English teacher at Yanjing No. 1 Junior High School, and he also had a certain kinship with Director Sun of the television station.

You'll naturally be able to join this social gathering.

At this point, Zhou Changgui had no idea that the social gathering had already been postponed to September.

Since there's a social gathering in September, there's no need to rush anything.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Changgui looked at Zhao Xuehui with a face full of apology, suppressing the resentment in his heart.

"I'm so sorry, Xuehui. I didn't know so many things had happened and that it had caused Xiaosheng so much trouble."

After saying that, Zhou Changgui assured Zhao Xuehui, "But don't worry, I will definitely find a way to clear my name and let everyone know that the plagiarism rumors about this poem were just a misunderstanding from beginning to end."

With Zhou Changgui's assurance and seeing the other party's sincere and apologetic expression, they were immediately convinced.

Zhao Xuehui, who initially had some reservations about Zhou Changgui, felt her displeasure dissipate somewhat.

However, Zhao Xuehui also understood that, after the poetry incident that had occurred in the past few days, and the incident a few days ago when Zhou Changgui accidentally published Jiang Sheng's poem, things had changed.

There is now an invisible chasm between Zhao Xuehui and Zhou Changgui.

Zhao Xuehui felt that she and Zhou Changgui were not as close as before. It seemed that there was something between them, making her feel awkward and uncomfortable when facing Zhou Changgui.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuehui sighed inwardly and tried to speak to Zhou Changgui in a gentle voice.

"I'm sorry, I was just too anxious and said some harsh things. I didn't mean to misunderstand you."

Sensing that the two seemed to have grown distant, Zhou Changgui felt annoyed, but quickly shook his head.

In an effort to salvage their relationship, Zhou Changgui wore a gentle, jade-like smile.

"It's okay. I know it's all a misunderstanding. If anyone were in your shoes, Xuehui, they probably wouldn't be able to stay calm. After all, he's your own brother."

The more Zhou Changgui understood Zhao Xuehui, the less Zhao Xuehui wanted to see him.

After all, his younger brother had already suffered enough injustice because of the poetry incident.

It was only then that Zhao Xuehui realized that Zhou Changgui was not as gentle and kind as she had imagined.

Although there are excuses everywhere, and these excuses all seem very reasonable.

However, there are still many parts that cannot withstand scrutiny.

Zhao Xuehui nodded and was about to take her leave when Zhou Changgui called her back.

"Oh, right, Xuehui."

Hearing the other person call her name, Zhao Xuehui subconsciously stopped in her tracks, suppressed the slight resentment in her heart, and turned around.

"What's wrong, Teacher Zhou? Is there anything else?"

Looking at the polite yet distant smile on the other person's face, Zhou Changgui opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say anything.

"It's nothing," he said apologetically, with a touch of appropriate melancholy on his face. "I was thinking of inviting you to dinner tomorrow, Xuehui, but considering that Xiaosheng's matter is not completely resolved yet, and since this whole thing started because of me, I really feel bad."

Zhao Xuehui was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she might have gone a bit too far just now.

Even if Zhou Changgui used some clever tricks in the previous incident, hoping to become famous.

But this seems to make no sense; perhaps I really have misunderstood the other person...

Thinking this way, Zhao Xuehui couldn't bear to refuse the other party, so she had to speak tactfully.

"My younger brother's matter isn't completely resolved yet. Once this is over, I'll invite Teacher Zhou to have dinner and chat, okay?"

Zhou Changgui looked somewhat surprised, then quickly smiled and spoke, afraid that Zhao Xuehui would refuse him.

"Of course, no problem, Xuehui. Don't worry, I'll contact Editor-in-Chief Zhao of Xinhua News Agency right after I finish tutoring the students in English!"
