Chapter 256 Different Perspectives, Different Truths
Wei You looked up.
This man was much more respectable than Wu Ming just now. He was a little over 1.7 meters tall, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, and holding a large canvas bag in his hand, which looked quite heavy.
Wei You handed him the registration form directly: "Please fill in the information first. What do you want to see Chu Yao about?"
The man wrote his name, Lai Dong.
He filled in other information while explaining his purpose.
"Yesterday I was interviewed by another media outlet online about how my girlfriend defrauded me of my betrothal gift and gave it to her parents. I became quite popular, and many media outlets have asked me for interviews today. Didn't you see?"
This is also the reason why Lai Dong came here today.
Seeing how popular he is now, many media outlets have promised to pay him for interviews.
Others offer five or eight hundred yuan, but Fengpu Daily is so big now that a thousand yuan is a sure thing.
He just makes a trip, says a few words, and earns a thousand. This money is not too easy to come by.
Wei You doesn't usually pay attention to social news and really doesn't know him.
But Wei You had the same idea with him: "You want to expose the betrothal fraud? Then don't look for Chu Yao, she's not professional. We have another teacher here who specializes in marriage. She covers betrothal fraud, infidelity, domestic violence... She covers it all! She's very professional!"
Lai Dong doesn't care who interviews him. His goal is to get some interview fees and have more media outlets report on him.
Improve your reputation, and if you become famous you can even sell goods through live streaming.
He nodded and said, "It's all fine. It depends on your arrangement. By the way..."
Lai Dong took the canvas bag in his hand and handed it to Wei You: "This is a specialty I brought from my home, some cherries, they are in season recently. I'll give them to you to try. Thank you for speaking up for me."
Wei You took it with a smile: "Okay, I'll distribute it to everyone right away."
This guy is so easy to talk to, I introduced him to other colleagues and helped them improve their performance.
The woman in the lounge looks difficult to communicate with, so leave her to Chu Yao!
Wei You immediately went to wash the cherries and distributed them to his colleagues.
By the way, inform Liu Xinxin, the colleague in the newspaper whose performance is comparable to Chu Yao.
Both of them are new reporters in the agency this year and are competing for the company's Rising Star Award.
Not only can he lend a helping hand to Liu Xinxin, he can also win over people and suppress Chu Yao!
Not long after Wei You left, another colleague passed by the front desk.
He saw Lai Dong standing here alone and asked what he was doing there. Lai Dong repeated, "Teacher Chu asked me to come here. Is she in a meeting?"
The colleague said, "We're in a meeting, but meetings have to give way to interviews. Wait a minute, I'll call her out right away."
Soon, Chu Yao came with Zheng Wenbo and invited Lai Dong to the interview room for an interview.
The three of them just left.
Wei You brought Liu Xinxin over.
Seeing that Chu Yao had taken over, Wei You immediately apologized, "Sister Liu, I'm sorry, Chu Yao has snatched me away again... Oh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have wasted my time washing the cherries!"
Liu Xinxin smiled and patted her shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay. It's a common thing. Thank you."
Wei You sighed, "Yeah, Chu Yao always steals other people's news. No wonder she was squeezed out of New Horizons before..."
Liu Xinxin didn't say anything and went back to continue the meeting.
Wei You looked at the three people in the interview room again.
Even though today's event was unsuccessful, at least it planted a seed of dislike for Chu Yao in Liu Xin's heart. In the long run, it was still a success!
-
In the interview room.
Lai Dong has already narrated the incident orally.
The statement is similar to the interview video with Fang Xiang.
Lai Dong kept his hands flat on his knees throughout the whole process, which made him look particularly honest and simple. At the end, he choked up, just like in Fang Xiang's video.
After he finished speaking, Chu Yao asked calmly, "You said your girlfriend gave all the betrothal money you gave her to her parents. Do you have any bank statements or audio recordings to prove this?"
Lai Dong's tears flowed even more: "No, I'm dating her with the intention of getting married, how could I possibly be collecting evidence everywhere?"
Zheng Wenbo immediately and considerately handed him a tissue.
Lai Dong took it: "Thank you."
Chu Yao slowed down her tone, trying to make her interview sound less like an interrogation. "Then is there any evidence that she had sex with other men? Audio recordings, videos, or a medical report from a hospital will do."
Lai Dong shook his head: "No, why would I check these things? This is so insulting. I still say that, we are going to get married, it is impossible to be on guard against her everywhere."
Zheng Wenbo winked at Chu Yao from the side.
People often ask the media for help in exposing things like this, but when there's no evidence at all and it's just completely groundless talk, they usually send the person away after that.
Whether to conduct a follow-up investigation or just ignore it will be decided based on the circumstances.
Zheng Wenbo blinked and signaled to Chu Yao: Send him away, let’s go back to the meeting.
But Chu Yao had other intentions. She continued, "Brother Xiang, when you saw Fengpu's account interviewing you, didn't he ask you for evidence?"
Lai Dong was already a little impatient, but he knew that he had to keep up the image of a victim in front of the media so that he could become popular through live streaming and selling goods.
He suppressed his anger and said pitifully, "No, no one else would interrogate a victim like that."
Chu Yao nodded: "Can we release the content recorded today?"
"Okay." Lai Dong nodded.
That's his purpose.
Zheng Wenbo stood up and said, "Mr. Lai, our interview ends here. I'll take you to the elevator."
Lai Dong's eyes moved back and forth between the two people: "No interview fee?"
Chu Yao: "We don't charge interview fees. Generally, we only charge informant fees if you provide key clues to assist in the investigation."
Lai Dong frowned and immediately looked fierce.
But he also knew that Fengpu Daily was a well-established media outlet... Never mind, just let them get it for free!
He didn't ask for any more money and left with a lot of anger.
Chu Yao took out her cell phone, wanting to see if Qin Jiahuai had finished his work and whether he had called her back.
As a result, she didn't see any reply from Qin Jiahuai, and then she realized that Wu Ming had just called her.
Chu Yao quickly replied, "Sister Wu Ming, I'm sorry, I was in a meeting and my phone was muted... Are you here? I'll come find you right now."
Chu Yao immediately went to the lounge to find Wu Ming.
As soon as she came in, Wu Ming smiled at her: "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't sleep the whole night last night while cooperating with the investigation. I just rested here for a while and I feel much better now."
"That's good." Chu Yao called Zheng Wenbo over to record the video and started the interview.
The camera was focused on Wu Ming, and Wu Ming began to explain what had happened on her side.
"After we got engaged, Lai Dong and I started living together, and he intentionally injured me. Fortunately, we hadn't gotten married yet, otherwise it would have been considered domestic violence."
She took off her hat and mask, and took off her long-sleeved coat, revealing bruises all over her body and face!
The corners of his mouth were cracked, with black blood scabs. One of his eyes was swollen and couldn't be opened. The bruises on his arms had turned yellow, and it was obvious that they had been there for some time!
Chu Yao looked at the wounds and felt a little breathless for a moment.
Zheng Wenbo really wanted to start cursing, but considering that he was recording a video, he held back.
Wu Ming opened his black backpack again and started taking things out.
