Chapter 309 The traitor!
"You unfilial son! What nonsense are you reporting?! Who told you to write this?! Who taught you to do this?!"
The reporter staggered a couple of times after being hit, looking at his father with an incredulous expression.
"You hit me?! What right do you have to hit me! So what if I reported it? Isn't this the truth?! What did I say wrong?!"
Chu Yan stepped forward and looked at him coldly: "Which of your statements is true? I have poor manners? In all my life, no one has ever dared to question my family's upbringing! I pushed you? Wasn't it because you repeatedly blocked us from leaving, leaving my grandparents exposed to the sun, that I pushed you aside? Where are you hurt? Show me where I hurt you! With your ability to fabricate stories, being a reporter is a waste of your talent."
The man lowered his hand from his face and said angrily, "That student didn't behave himself when he saw us reporters and let us interview him properly! It's your good fortune that we're interviewing you! And you still refuse?! Is this your upbringing?! What's wrong with making them wait a few minutes? What's wrong with them getting some sun? It's not like they're dying! Are their lives so precious! I... slap, slap slap!"
Before he could finish speaking, the club president slapped him three more times.
"Shut up! I'll teach you to speak without thinking! I'll teach you to talk nonsense! Shut up!" After saying that, she slapped him a few more times.
He yelled as he hit them, "Those are the parents of the richest man! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to make those two old people wait for you! That's the child of the richest man! How dare you say he has no manners! How have I raised you! I'll beat you to death, you little brat!"
That's it, that's it, it's all over. I've offended Jiang Gao, Principal Du, and the richest man's family. He's fucking awesome! Most people would be finished if they offended one person, but he's offended three! Forget about his position, he might as well go home and farm.
The reporter was stunned by the beating and also confused by what the father had said. What richest man? That pretty boy is the richest man's child? The richest man's child isn't studying abroad, but in this fourth-tier city? Don't be ridiculous!
But seeing his father sitting on the ground with his eyes glazed over, he became increasingly uneasy. Then he saw Gu Yin next to him and his eyes lit up!
"He... he was in a relationship back then! I'm telling the truth, I didn't make this up!"
Gu Yin, watching the spectacle, said: "...Brother, I'm a minor. Our two families know each other. Besides Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu, Chu's mother was also present that day. Do you think we would meet under our parents' noses if we were dating?! You really won't learn until you're faced with the truth! A journalist should uphold the truth, exercise the right to news supervision, better integrate traditional media into new media, guide public opinion, and disseminate news information in a more standardized and truthful way. This is the wisdom of a journalist!① Which of these have you done? Look at what you've written—how is it any different from what entertainment paparazzi do? Fabricated nonsense! Completely made up! This constitutes an infringement on the reputation of Chu Yan, me, and Jiang Gao!"
Teacher Xiang stepped forward and said, "Chu Yan is an outstanding student at Jiang High School, always ranking first in his class! If there are no unforeseen circumstances in this year's college entrance examination, he's a shoo-in for Qingdao University! And he's already been admitted to Harvard University in the United States! This is the student you're talking about who got into Jiang High School through special connections! And Gu Yin, she won first place in the province in chemistry, biology, and math competitions! She was also first in her grade in the final exams! You've spread rumors about our school's two best students dating! You even called them uncultured academic geniuses, saying they came to Jiang High School to 'gild' themselves! You even said they're a disgrace to the country! Ugh, I'm so angry! How dare you! How dare you!"
The male reporter, who was too afraid to speak, took a few steps back, fearing he would be beaten.
The president was completely exhausted. He swayed as he got up and looked at the four people: "I failed to discipline them properly. It's my problem. We apologize. We'll publish an apology in the newspaper. Is that alright?"
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes: "That's it? That simple?"
"...After publishing an apology in the newspaper, we both resigned to take responsibility. Also, we paid compensation for the damage to our reputation."
The man cried out in panic, "Dad!"
"Shut up!"
Principal Du looked at Chu Yan: "What do you think?"
Chu Yan nodded: "Then let's leave it at that. I hope to see your apology letter in tomorrow's newspaper!"
In organizations like theirs, mistakes are recorded, making it impossible to work in public institutions or similar fields again.
After the matter was resolved, the four left the newspaper office. When they passed Editor-in-Chief Lu, he seemed to want to talk to Principal Du. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Principal Du walked past him, completely ignoring him.
Downstairs, Principal Du looked at Chu Yan and said, "Even if the other party apologizes, some people won't believe it. They might even think you're abusing your power. Don't take it to heart and ignore those people."
Chu Yan smiled and said, "I know, this is nothing to me. If it weren't for the school, I wouldn't bother with such clowns. It's also my fault for being impatient. As Jianggao becomes more famous, there will be even more troublemakers. Principal, you've worked hard."
Du Zhongming smiled helplessly: "Don't worry about it. Are you going back to school or to a hotel?"
Checking the time, it was already past ten o'clock, so the two of them didn't go back to the hotel, but instead went back to the school with Gu Yin and Principal Du.
The next morning, the latest issue of the Nanjing Daily featured an apology letter from the male reporter.
Originally, it was thought that the matter would be over, but in less than two days, rumors spread throughout the city that Gu Yin, the top student at Jianggao High School, might become the young mistress of the richest family.
Gu Yin herself was unaware of this matter. It was only after Gu Qinglang came to her that she learned about it, and after hearing the whole story, she was completely dumbfounded!
