"Old Zhou, didn't we agree on this matter? You persuade Xu Hongbo to write a proper apology, and this matter will end here."
Director Zhou shook his head. "If we apologize, everyone will blame us. Besides, I can't do such a thing against my conscience. What is our newspaper for? We want to expose the truth and deliver authentic and effective information to the public. This is what I insist on doing this job! Old Zhang, I can't agree with you on this."
There are still positive things happening above, so Lao Liu will just agree with him and do what he should do. He won't let him do such things against his conscience!
"You..." Lao Zhang was so angry that he almost jumped up and down, "Lao Zhou, what do you mean by this?"
Lao Zhou stood up and said, "That's exactly what I meant!"
"That's right, that's what I meant!" Xu Hongbo said righteously, "I'm a reporter, not her father. I have no obligation to protect her! I investigated this matter and found the truth. The evidence is sufficient. I won't apologize against my conscience!"
This is why he likes Lao Zhou and always likes to stay under Lao Zhou. Because Lao Zhou and he are on the same page!
“…”
Wei Lan jumped up in anger: "What do you mean? Deputy Zhang, are you guys deliberately putting on this show in front of me? If you look down on me, I can go back to my brother!"
Hearing about the Wei family, Lao Zhang quickly stood up and said, "Don't be angry, Director Wei. These two are just like that. They're stubborn! Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you!"
"You should understand what I mean, right?" Wei Lan snorted coldly.
“Understood!”
"Then I'll be leaving first. You can handle the rest yourself. Oh, and fire that old man guarding your gate!" Wei Lan glared at Xu Hongbo and Old Zhou, then stood up and walked away with her head held high. She was just the type to hold grudges.
Lao Zhang personally sent the person out and asked Director Zhou and Xu Hongbo to wait.
"I hope Old Zhou is okay?" Xu Hongbo asked in a low voice as he watched the two of them leave.
Lao Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's the problem? Just do your job well."
"Sheriff Zhang is angry. He'll definitely come back and scold us later." Xu Hongbo stretched his head and looked towards the door. "Our Zhang She is really nice to that woman."
Old Zhou shook his head and patted him: "Sit down and have some tea. Aren't you thirsty?"
Seeing the director so calm, Xu Hongbo couldn't help but think that Lao Zhou was really brave and not worried at all.
Soon, Lao Zhang returned and scolded the two men, ordering them not to put the bags down again and to apologize. Lao Zhou was not polite and argued with Lao Zhang, with Xu Hongbo also joining in.
The three of them parted on bad terms, and Lao Zhang told them to get out.
Xu Hongbo and Lao Zhou had just left when the secretary came in. Seeing the deputy director was so angry, he hurried over to calm him down.
"Don't be angry, Zhang She. These two are just stinky stones from the toilet. They're smelly and hard, not good at all!"
Zhang She narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that these two will never stand with me."
Originally, he had wanted to take this opportunity to win over these two, and to recruit more people while the one above him hadn't returned yet. The one above him had never really thought much of him. He was the deputy now, but he couldn't always be the deputy.
So he had to find a way to gain more support. The one above him seemed to like Lao Zhou very much, and among the young people, he was also paying attention to Xu Hongbo. He had originally thought that since the one above him liked these two so much, he could win them over.
