After receiving the call from Minister Xiao, they rushed over without stopping. Along the way, their sweat soaked several sheets of paper.
They never imagined that an independent publishing house of their scale would one day be summoned by the General Political Department.
The closer I got to the General Political Department Office, the weaker my legs and feet felt. It was only when I looked at the file bag in my hand that I felt a little relieved.
At this time, Minister Xiao had already refilled Jiang Yuman's tea several times in the office.
Jiang Yuman was thirsty at first, so she drank a few cups. After finishing this time, she saw him immediately pick up the teapot and quickly shook her head: "Minister Xiao, no need to bother, thank you."
Minister Xiao put down the teapot awkwardly.
When Jiang Yuman wanted to drink water, he could still pretend to find something to do. But now that she didn't want to drink and Qin Dongling was sitting there motionless, he couldn't find a topic to talk about.
I could only look outside again and again, "What's wrong with the people from Liberty Talk Daily? Why haven't they come in such a long time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door and said that it was the person in charge of the Free Talk Daily.
Minister Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, he cleared his throat, straightened his posture, and said, "Come in."
Qin Dongling and Jiang Yuman also looked at the door at the same time.
The next second, the door opened and three people rushed in.
The middle-aged man in the lead had a big belly and sweat on his forehead. Behind him followed a dark-skinned man and a lesbian.
The expressions of the three people are also very intriguing.
The two men looked panicked and kept wiping their sweat, while the female comrade looked indifferent. If it had not been confirmed that she was a male, she would have looked more like someone from the General Political Department.
"Minister Xiao." The middle-aged man in the lead nodded and bowed, "I am the person in charge of the Free Talk Daily, Lu Baichuan."
"Comrade Lu Baichuan."
Minister Xiao said with a serious expression, "Do you know how big of a mistake you made in the latest issue of the Free Talk Daily?"
He stood up and slammed the table. "Comrade Jiang Yuman got into her father's car. How have you twisted the facts?"
Minister Xiao was in charge of the entire General Political Department and was also a well-known figure outside. Every accusation he made made Lu Baichuan tremble.
Minister Xiao said on the phone that they had offended the Chief of the General Staff. Now when he heard that they were father and daughter, he felt dizzy.
He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hand and said, "Minister Xiao, Chief of the General Staff, Comrade Jiang. This incident really has nothing to do with me. It was the editors who reviewed it that made such a big mistake."
To put it nicely, "Free Talk Daily" is a medium for everyone to freely publish writings and notices; to put it bluntly, it is a complete makeshift team.
Such a big piece of news was not even reviewed by the general manager!
Minister Xiao's face darkened. "You are the person in charge. Can you really blame others for everything?"
Lu Baichuan lowered his head even more, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
With his status, there was no way he could have come into contact with the class in the General Military Region compound, and he never expected that the incident would have such a big impact.
Thinking of this, a fat face wanted to cry but had no tears. "Chief of General Staff, Comrade Jiang Yuman, I apologize to you on behalf of the Liberty Talk Daily. We were terribly wrong this time. Please forgive us."
After saying that, he tilted his head and said, "Lin Qiang, Xiao Pan, why don't you apologize quickly?"
A man and a woman behind him also apologized.
The man's face was full of regret, while the woman's expression was indifferent, even with a hint of disgust.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuman frowned slightly.
"Where did you get the photos?" Qin Dongling spoke at this time.
Lin Qiang explained: "I received a letter a few days ago, which contained the money and the newspaper advertisement fee."
As he said that, he quickly handed the thing over with both hands, "It's this letter."
Sun Shifu took it and looked at it. Apart from the photos, there were a few simple words and a stack of newspaper advertising fees.
"The Liberty Talk Daily is a privately-run newspaper. According to common practice, publication fees are required." Lin Qiang passed the buck, "In the final analysis, it was because Xiao Pan was not qualified and made a mistake in judgment that he published this fake news."
Lu Baichuan nodded.
