Bai Jing's voice is not loud, but her tone is clear and has strong penetrating power.
As soon as the words fell, the originally busy and noisy environment suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Bai Jing with surprise in their eyes.
Then they turned their heads at the same time and looked in the other direction.
Zhao Qin didn't expect that Bai Jing would come to him alone. He was panicked for a moment, but when he thought that the other party had no way to do anything to him, he said with a stern face.
"I'm Zhao Qin. What's up?"
Bai Jing didn't beat around the bush. She put the newspaper on the table and went straight to the point.
"This article is false information and has damaged my reputation," she looked at him calmly, "I hope your company can clarify the facts and issue a public statement to apologize."
Everyone saw that the girl had a calm expression, gentle tone, and a clean and clear voice, and it sounded like she was simply stating a fact.
It is indeed not as unreasonable as described in the report.
...
...
Zhao Qin saw that she spoke quite gently, and felt that she was a soft persimmon that was easy to manipulate. Since she had one arm hanging, he probably didn't think she was someone who would easily resort to violence.
He was a little nervous before, but now he has completely let it go, with a look of disdain on his face.
"You said that false information is false information? Do you have any evidence? Huh?!"
Everyone saw the little girl sighing, her expression looking helpless.
Some people couldn't bear to watch and were about to go up and help speak up when they heard Bai Jing ask back.
"Then do you have any evidence?"
"Of course I did!" Zhao Qin took out the transcript left by Wen Yu and slammed it on the table. "Look at the results. All subjects are zero! Ranked last among all students!"
Bai Jing just took a glance and smiled.
"How could you think that a student from North City High School like me would not get even one point if I could take the exam normally? Or do you actually lack the ability to think normally?"
Zhao Qin was stunned at first, then became angry.
"What did you say!"
Bai Jing took out the hospital certificate and the transcript of the entrance exam. "It's just that I had an accident some time ago and couldn't take the exam. It's not that I didn't study well and my grades were at the bottom as the newspaper said."
Everyone gathered around to take a look out of curiosity, and were surprised to see that Bai Jing had scored full marks in her admissions exam.
This is called poor study? This result is too good!
"Isn't it what you should do to verify the authenticity of the report before releasing it to the public?" Bai Jing glanced at him calmly, "Or is this the style of your newspaper?"
Things were gradually going wrong, so I quickly went to ask the editor-in-chief to come over.
The editor-in-chief hurried over and immediately noticed the strange atmosphere around him, so he stepped forward and said.
"Comrade, what happened? I'm the editor-in-chief of the North City Newspaper. You can tell me if you have any questions."
"Hello, editor-in-chief," Bai Jing nodded gently, "Originally, I wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, so I came here directly and even brought supporting materials with me in good faith. I just hope to get a clarification statement, but..."
"This reporter Zhao from your company refuses to admit his mistakes. If that's the case, I can only go to Guangming Newspaper across the street and repeat everything I said before, word for word. The hospital and the school will also testify for me, and the truth will be clear at a glance."
Bai Jing sighed heavily, as if to say that there was nothing she could do. "Maybe someone from above will come to investigate and see if someone violated the rules by accepting gifts and deliberately fabricating fake news..."
Seeing that Bai Jing's words were getting more and more serious, the editor-in-chief was sweating coldly and his smile was stiff.
"How, how could that be? Our newspaper has always been pragmatic."
"Really? That's good." Bai Jing smiled again, looking very well-behaved.
On the other side, Wen Yu suddenly received a contact from the newspaper.
They said there was an additional report and they needed to come to the newspaper office again.
Wenyu was very happy when she heard this. She didn't have much money on her. If Wenwu couldn't stay in Beicheng to go to school, they would have to go back to the village in two days.
But she never expected that as soon as she entered the door, she would see Bai Jing sitting there leisurely, greeting her with a smile.
"Aunt Yu, we meet again."
Wen Yu looked at the smile on her face and had a bad feeling in his heart. With so many people around watching him, it felt like some kind of interrogation, and his voice couldn't help but become a little dry.
“Yes, yes…”
Bai Wenwu had never seen such a big scene before, so he hid behind his mother and didn't dare to say a word.
"I heard from reporter Zhao that you are the 'whistleblower' for this report?"
"My uncle originally planned to bring me to school because I am the only child of his biological sister, but you tried to persuade me to give the opportunity to Wenwu..." Bai Jing slowly curved the corners of her lips, her voice clear and crisp, "I didn't agree, you said this is 'the sister took the brother's school quota'?"
The crowd was shocked.
There was a bit more contempt in the look he gave Wen Yu.
Why is he biting back?
"What are you talking about?" Wen Yu has always been very proud, and was exposed on the spot like this, and her face was a little embarrassed. "I just think that Wenwu is a boy after all, and if he can come to college, it will also bring honor to your Bai family."
As soon as she said this, several girls in the newspaper office became unhappy.
"Aunt, are you still favoring boys over girls? The slogans all say 'it's equally good to have a boy or a girl'. Even if Comrade Bai Jing goes to college, it will still bring honor to the family!"
Wen Yu's face became even uglier, but she couldn't say anything to refute. Everyone looked at her and accused her, and she almost fainted.
After a round of confrontation, everyone saw the situation and had a rough idea of it in their minds.
The editor-in-chief turned to look at Bai Jing with a serious expression on his face.
"Comrade Bai Jing, I understand what happened. We did make a mistake. Look at this..."
"I'm an easy person to talk to, so you don't have to pay for mental damages," Bai Jing smiled, looking very obedient and docile. "All you need to do is publish a clarification statement and a public apology on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper."
"Front page?!" The editor-in-chief looked a little embarrassed and discussed, "This will, um, affect the reputation of our newspaper. In fact, everyone will see it on the second page, so why not..."
Bai Jing stood up from her seat and spoke as if talking to herself.
"Why don't we go to Guangming Newspaper to discuss it? Seeing that I have an arm hanging, I look so pitiful, maybe they will be willing to give me..."
“Wait a minute!”
The editor-in-chief quickly called her back.
It's no joke to give such a big handle to the opponent.
Besides, corrections are common, and being able to admit mistakes and correct them is a positive thing.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, we will clarify and apologize to you on the front page."
"Editor-in-chief, you are such a good person." Bai Jing curled her eyes slightly and sat back in her seat.
Come to think of it, she has never seen her name on the front page.
It really makes me a little excited just thinking about it!
