The newspaper had just been established, and the staff had just been selected, so they were facing various problems. So whenever they didn't have classes, they would go to the newspaper to work. However, their main problem at the moment was that the school's funding was too low, and they were worried about what to do.
"Hello everyone!" Zhang Xingrong walked in and greeted everyone.
Everyone was in a meeting. When they heard the voice, they turned around and saw a few girls standing at the door.
The president put down his lunch box and asked, "Who are you? This is the newspaper office. Did you come to the wrong place?"
Zhang Xingrong walked in and smiled, "You're not wrong. I'm looking for your newspaper office. Hello, I'm Zhang Xingrong from the Medical School."
The president was full of doubts: "Hello, I am Zhou Jun, the president of the newspaper. What can I do for you?"
"Look, someone's been spreading rumors at school lately, saying I'm often absent, lazy, and not really studying. Some people also say I'm hanging out with men. So I'd like your newspaper to help investigate this matter."
Zhou Jun was even more confused. Not only Zhou Jun, but everyone else was also confused: "We are a newspaper, not a police station, nor a detective agency."
Zhang Xingrong smiled and said, "Of course I know that, but you're a newspaper, so you must have your own reporters. This incident can be used as a training opportunity for your reporters. Besides, you've just been established, right? Putting my story in the newspaper as a series of replies will enrich the content, right?"
Zhou Jun's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. Using some literary means to capture the readers' attention might bring attention to their newspaper!
"Also, if you handle this matter well and help me find the real culprit, our Hongyun Factory will sponsor your newspaper!"
"Sponsor?" Zhou Jun asked in a sharp voice, "What kind of factory are you?"
"Hongyun Rattan Weaving Factory." Zhang Xingrong smiled. "Actually, the last few times I asked for leave were all for things related to Hongyun Rattan Weaving Factory. Our factory is small and there aren't many people, so I help out at the factory while attending school."
Zhou Jun didn't want to worry about so many things. He only cared about the sponsorship, which was like timely help to them. "You said you are willing to sponsor us, how much? You are not kidding us, are you?"
The surrounding members also looked at Zhang Xingrong with shining eyes.
"I'll sponsor you 5,000 yuan for the first time..."
"Five thousand yuan!" Someone screamed before Zhang Xingrong finished. Five thousand yuan, for their shabby newspaper, was a huge sum of money. It could solve their printing problems and print many more copies!
"Yes," Zhang Xingrong nodded. "This is our factory's phone number. If you don't believe me, find a way to call and verify it. If you still don't believe me, this is our factory address. Send someone to the factory this weekend. Most importantly, this three hundred yuan is the deposit I'm giving you."
When Zhou Jun saw her take out three hundred yuan, his eyes widened!
"Does your newspaper have a finance department? Do you have an official seal? Give me a certificate." Zhang Xingrong said seriously. This was a sponsorship from the factory, so of course a certificate was required.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Jun was extremely excited. This time, he believed that the girl in front of him was not joking. Three hundred yuan? Is she kidding? She's being taken advantage of? Who would be so stupid? Even if it wasn't a factory, he would be willing to do it for three hundred yuan!
He quickly prepared a certificate, affixed it with the newspaper's seal in full view of the crowd, and respectfully handed it to Zhang Xingrong: "Student Zhang Xingrong, don't worry. Our newspaper will fully investigate this matter and will definitely clear your name!"
