Chapter 257 The Unscrupulous Media Outlet Goes Bankrupt!
Instead of discussing Lu Sili's relationship with a young girl in his forties as he had expected, netizens criticized the Red Sun Daily for being heartless and unscrupulous in its pursuit of sensationalism.
He mentioned Lu Yingdi's niece when he met netizens. When did Lu Sili have a niece?
He clicked on it with a sense of doubt and saw Lu Sili singing at a concert and talking about his past experiences.
He felt as if he had been struck on the head.
My vision went dark.
"What's going on?!" He suddenly stood up, almost fainting from the suddenness. He slammed his fist on the table and roared at the reporter, "Didn't you watch the concert before you wrote this?! Lu Yingdi didn't mention his girlfriend at all today. His song was written for his sister who has been missing for many years!"
If they posted it out, would they be ridiculed by netizens? If they weren't ridiculed, he would see himself as a big joke!
The reporter, also bewildered, said, "I...I haven't had a chance to see it yet, Editor-in-Chief. Didn't you tell me to hurry up and write the article, and send it out as soon as it's finished? I...I was afraid that other newspapers would publish the article first, and then we wouldn't have an advantage. I...I thought you had been paying attention, and you didn't tell me that things had changed, so I sent it out..."
"You're blaming me now!"
Editor-in-Chief Lin roared, "You wrote the article! You're the one who signed it, what does it have to do with me!"
"Editor-in-chief, you can't say that!" the reporter hurriedly said. "I said I didn't want to write it, but you told me to write whatever I wanted and that you would support me if anything happened, so I wrote it! How can you put all the blame on me now!"
Editor-in-Chief Lin sneered: "As an editor-in-chief, I am well aware of the obligations of a journalist. How could I allow you to report such baseless and false news! The fact that you sent out the article has nothing to do with me! You have been fired by Red Sun Daily! You have nothing to do with Red Sun Daily anymore! Red Sun Daily will not bear any responsibility for your actions!"
Upon hearing this, the reporter looked at Editor-in-Chief Lin in disbelief.
I never imagined he would be so ruthless.
Although he knew that Editor-in-Chief Lin was not a good person and often did such things, he often forced them to write false information in order to achieve performance targets, and then pushed all the responsibility onto them once something went wrong.
Previously, they spread false information, which led to a pregnant woman jumping to her death. The incident caused a great uproar, and Editor-in-Chief Lin asked the person who wrote the article to take the blame.
That person even went to jail.
He never expected this day to come so soon, and now it's his turn.
The reporter slumped silently into his chair, unable to utter a single word.
……
Lu Sili hadn't been able to check his phone until the concert ended, at which point he learned what had happened.
He laughed angrily.
Ah.
He hadn't even let his precious niece show her face, but now she's been secretly photographed.
They even used such filthy adjectives to describe her.
What girlfriend? What about him dating a young woman in his old age? What about Chu Miao valuing his status and position? She's a student.
Simply ridiculous!
Lu Sili was very angry, and so were the students in Class 20. Chu Miao took a look at her phone but didn't seem to care.
They're just netizens who can't see each other, saying things through a screen.
What's the matter?
People in this world are quite strange; they get angry because of some vague and unfounded words posted by netizens who can't even be seen.
Some netizens are also strange; they hurl insults at people they've never met and know nothing about, all from behind a screen.
“The Red Sun Daily has already issued a statement.” Brother Ma was also very angry. He hates this kind of unscrupulous media the most, writing nonsense. “They said that an intern reporter took photos without permission from the newspaper and published them. They apologized to us and all netizens. In addition, they have fired that reporter.”
"Ha, an intern reporter, he published it without permission, who would believe his story! This isn't the first or second time that the Red Sun Daily has caused such a mess! These unscrupulous reporters must be taught a lesson! Contact the legal department immediately and send them a lawyer's letter! I'm going to sue them! Not just that reporter, but the entire Red Sun Daily!"
"Okay! I'll contact the legal department to draft a lawyer's letter right now!" Brother Ma nodded vigorously, also supporting Lu Sili. The Red Sun Daily had really messed with them this time. Of all people to target, they had to target Chu Miao!
Although Lu Si-li's actions will offend many media outlets, it is a major taboo for celebrities.
But Lu Sili's status and position mean he has nothing to fear, which also serves as a warning to other media outlets that he, Lu Sili, is no pushover, and anyone wanting to report on him should think twice about their own importance.
"Miaomiao, what are your thoughts?" Lu Sili asked Chu Miao. "If you feel that my punishment is not severe enough, just tell me. I must seek justice for you. The charges of secretly filming, defamation, and insulting others are enough to put them in jail for life!"
"Is this Red Sun Daily really that heartless?" Chu Miao asked.
"That's not just a little bit heartless."
Brother Ma was furious when he spoke: "They often publish fake news and manipulate public opinion. They even caused a pregnant woman to be cyberbullied and fall from a building, resulting in her tragic death along with her unborn child! In the end, they didn't apologize. They just fired the reporter who wrote the article, a half-hearted punishment. They just took advantage of the fact that the pregnant woman was powerless and couldn't do anything to them!"
Chu Miao's face darkened upon hearing these words.
So heartless!
"Then sue! Second Uncle, I support you in sue! Sue them all until they're all in jail!"
She wasn't a good person, but she couldn't stand seeing these people bullying others like this.
“However, after the Red Sun Daily published the article, although netizens did not believe the Red Sun Daily’s statement, they were also very curious about who the person who was behaving so intimately with you was. Some people have already guessed that it is the niece you mentioned. Should we publish an article to reveal Miss Chu’s identity?” Brother Ma said again.
As netizens had already guessed, after consulting with Chu Miao, Lu Sili stopped hiding his intentions and posted a Weibo message.
He admitted that the person in the photo was his niece, and also sued the Red Sun Daily, telling them to prepare to receive a court summons!
Editor-in-Chief Lin sat in his office drinking tea, thinking that he had already pushed the reporter out to be convicted, so this matter should be over, right?
Since Lu Yingdi still wants to make a living in the entertainment industry, he probably won't go too far.
But he miscalculated.
Seeing the Weibo post from Lu Sili Studio announcing that they would sue the Red Sun Daily and make the Red Sun Daily wait to receive the summons, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him!
Lu Sili actually wants to sue them!
"Editor-in-Chief Lin! The chairman wants you to come over!"
Editor-in-Chief Lin walked nervously to the chairman's office, knowing that the matter had blown up too much and had already alarmed the chairman!
If he doesn't handle it well...
He knocked nervously and went in, only to be met with a teacup slammed into his hand by the chairman: "Are you out of your mind! Whose news do you report, but Lu Sili's! Do you think you can report Lu Sili's news?! Do you even know who Lu Sili is?! Do you even know who the girl you photographed with Lu Sili is?! She's the granddaughter of the Lu family patriarch in Beijing! The Lu family's most beloved young lady! Even the Si family has connections with her! You know the Si family, right?! The Si family! They can make our newspaper disappear with a flick of their finger!"
