Chapter 73 Jokes

Tang Jing sat upright in front of her father, who was sitting behind a wide desk, wearing reading glasses and carefully reviewing the manuscripts his daughter had handed in.

He read the three thousand words special article for fifteen minutes, but he didn't want to put it down yet. The editor-in-chief's office was quiet.

After a long time, the editor-in-chief Tang Yuan'an took off his reading glasses and rubbed Qingming's acupoint.

"Xiao Jing, I'll retire in a few years..."

"I know, dad. If you have any problems, just put the blame on me."

Tang Yuan'an put down his hand and stared at his daughter sitting opposite him. "Nonsense! Can your dad be such a person?"

Tang Jing didn't say anything, but continued to look at her father, the president and editor-in-chief of the sports newspaper with the largest circulation in China.

"I almost pulled this newspaper with one hand. It's been twenty-two years... I'm just worried that if you publish this article, the newspaper society will be under great pressure..."

Tang Jing curled her lips: "Then I will resign now and switch to other sports newspapers to harm them."

"Hey, you..." Tang Yuan'an really had no choice but to use his daughter. He glared at Tang Jing for a while, then his tone was slowed down. "Actually, the words that Tony Tang En said were not new. When the General Administration of Sports planned to implement the national system and restore football to the era of a professional sports school, many people had discussed this issue privately. But no one dared to say it publicly. Even if he said it in front of the media, such words would not be included in the media... Do you know why, Xiaojing?"

"The pressure from the Football Association."

"No.  " Tang Yuan'an shook his head, "The Football Association has long been a rat crossing the street. After the Olympics, Xinhua News Agency and People's Daily have published articles criticizing the Football Association. The failure of the Olympic and World Cup qualifiers must be someone to come out to beat the ball. The Football Association is a good target. The real pressure comes from... The General Administration of Sports. The Football Association is an affiliated agency of the General Administration of Sports. The real idea is actually the General Administration of Sports. The Football Association just follows the major route given by the General Administration. So who is Tang En's words scolding? It's not the General Administration of Sports.  "

Tang Jing's face also changed a little. She is still very clear about the difference between the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports, and she also knows which institution has more energy.

After thinking about it for a while in the seat, she got up and walked to her father's desk, reached out to grab the manuscript. "I won't post it anymore, Dad. I won't make things difficult for you."

Tang Yuanan wanted to reach out to take it back, but the hand he had just raised was put back, and his daughter let her take the manuscript full of Tang En's angry words and walked out of the office.

Tang Jing, who returned to the reporter's room, began to pack up the things on her desk - her favorite Garfield palette, her own water cup, folders, books...

Her colleague looked at her silently packing these things, and there were fewer and fewer things on the table. They were all swept into the box.

"Tang Jing, what are you doing?" Finally, a colleague with good relationship came over and asked in surprise.

"I'm quitting." Tang Jing took out a piece of folded paper from her pocket, spread it out and pressed it on the table. Then she picked up the box and smiled at her colleague who cared about her.

"Tell me..." The colleagues didn't react and watched her leave the office in amazement.

The paper pressed on the table was a long time ago "resignation letter".

When Tang Jing drove back to her residence in the car, she received a call from her father.

"Tang Jing!!" Tang Yuan'an roared angrily on the phone. "What do you want to do!"

"I resigned, dad." Tang Jing looked calm. "You don't care what I want to do now."

"I won't promise you to resign!"

"Then let's go to the Labor Arbitration Court, Dad."

"..." Tang Jing could even hear his father's gritting his teeth.

"Okay!" He exhaled hard, "Even if you resign, you will still be my daughter. I don't allow it!"

"Your daughter has grown up long ago and has moved out to live independently. Even if you are a father, you have no right to interfere in your daughter's life."

"you……"

What else Tang Yuan'an wants to say? Tang Jing has already refused mercilessly and continued to talk to him. "Okay, dad. Your daughter is now holding the steering wheel with her left hand and holding her mobile phone with her right hand, and is driving on the ring road. If you don't want to receive a call from the traffic police in a while, I'm going to hang up now, dad."

"Hey, Tang Jing, you...hey?hey!"

I can only hear the busy voice.

That night, Tang Jing updated her blog post on Sina blog, announcing that she had officially resigned from the Sports Weekly and is now a lonely and unemployed person. Then she recalled some of her life working in the newspaper and thanked some people.

Because she followed up on Nottingham Forest in Nottingham, she was also rumored to be a well-known "beautiful reporter" with some scandals with Tang. Tang Jing's blog has always been very popular. So her article was quickly reprinted. Everyone who knew her was surprised by her resignation. Because there was no sign that she was unhappy in the newspaper, she was ordered to fly to Chengdu to give an exclusive interview to Tang En. Many reporters in China hope to be able to do an exclusive interview with Tang En, but Tang Jing alone has this opportunity. I have never heard of any conflicts with her leader - everyone knows that she is the daughter of the president and editor-in-chief, and no matter how big the conflict is, she will not resign...

The benefits and disadvantages of the Internet age are highly contagious. So in less than one night, the news of "a famous beautiful reporter from a famous sports newspaper in China suddenly resigned mysteriously" was posted on the homepages of several portals. Many netizens expressed their opinions on this, and there were various statements.

The most exciting thing is that some people say that the woman was exposed to being together with Coach Tang, and under pressure from all sides, they had to resign. She said she went to Chengdu to interview Tang En. In fact, she went on a date with Tang. Unexpectedly, Tang En caught the rape on the spot and was captured. She couldn't argue. Nottingham Forest Club strongly protested to a newspaper, so even though she was the president's daughter, she had to resign to calm her loss. Otherwise, it would be bad for everyone if the matter was exposed...

However, although this statement is very exciting, not many people believe it. How could a foreign club be furious because one of their assistant coaches had sex with the woman in his motherland during vacation? This is too much of a joke.

Therefore, there are still many different opinions on the real reason for Tang Jing's resignation.

Some reporters also called Tang Jing, hoping to hear what she said. As a result, Tang Jing's cell phone was turned off. She could not contact her at all.

The only window for her external contact is Sina blog.

The next night, when everyone was still guessing why Tang Jing, a beautiful journalist who had been making a name for herself in recent years, suddenly resigned, her blog updated another article.

"This is the last question I asked in Chengdu two days ago when I went to interview Tony Tangen.   I just asked routinely, but I didn't expect to get an unexpected response.    It is well known that Coach Tangen speaks fluent Chinese. We talk directly in Chinese from beginning to end on this question.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

"A Successful British Football Coach's Chinese Football in the Eyes"

In the article of 3,000 words. Tang En's style vocabulary sentences can be seen everywhere. This rebellious English coach scolded Chinese football so hard that it hit the nail on the head, which made most people nodded in agreement after reading it.

At the end of the article, Tang Jing wrote the following words: Everyone is welcome to reprint it, but please do not change any of the words.

Tang Jing succeeded, and she used her resignation incident to arouse everyone's appetite. After focusing on her blog, she threw out this long-planned article, which caused an earthquake on the Internet in the shortest time.

Sina, Sohu, NetEase, Tencent, Tianya..., and other famous and unfamous websites that are not well-known and unprofessional and unprofessional and unrelated to football have all reprinted this article as soon as possible. The original source of the original text, her blog hits soar overnight, and the messages are refreshed every minute.

Some people agree. Some people scold, some people ponder, and some people question it.

Those who agree with it naturally say that this article has criticized it to the point, which makes some people suddenly realize it.

It’s more interesting to scold people - of course they won’t scold Tang En and Tang Jing because they support such bad Chinese football. The reason they scolded is: No matter how bad Chinese football is, no matter how bad the Chinese Football Association is, it is also the family business of our Chinese people. When is it the turn of a British barbarian to point fingers in their own family affairs? It’s still so ugly. Who do you think you are? No matter how successful you win, no matter how many championships you have won, what awesome you are in China? Not to mention that you seem to be very down in the past two years...

The questioners are questioning that Tang Jing is making fake articles to attract attention, and it is simply self-hype. Anyway, it is an era of hype. It is no longer a rare time to hype others, you have to hype yourself. Don’t you see that those celebrity blogs and online celebrities are all self-hype real estate products. So this is the era of "being ugly and having to dare to show off". Their reasons are very sufficient - no matter how much a British man claims to know and love China, he cannot say such a sharp saying about the current situation of Chinese football. These words can only be immersed in Chinese football.

It can be written by people who have been doing many years of football, or only Chinese people who really understand and care about Chinese football. What kind of fun is a British man coming to join in? Does he know who is the current full-time vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association? He is here to curse the system. And look at the ubiquitous emotions of "hate the iron but not the steel" and "angry not to fight for the misfortune" in the article. How could a British man who has nothing to do with our country? So based on the above inferences, it is concluded that Tang Jing's fraud is too low, or it is simply a big flaw. Complete self-hype.

"Question" has a market in mainstream media because they represent the voice of "calm thinking". Although these people are indeed very calm, they think seriously, and do not blindly follow others' words. But it's a pity... their serious analysis this time is really wrong.

Some people called on Tang Jing to put the recording file she said online for proof.

But the next day, Tang Jing's blog was quiet, and there was no "Tony Tang's original voice reappearing".

Now, the trend of questioning her making up news self-hype has become even more intense. And there was a division - all the article was agreed with. At the same time, it also affirmed Tang Jing's original intention of doing this. But she still believes that this article was fabricated by Tang Jing herself.

There are also rumors that the Football Association attaches great importance to this article. If it was really fabricated by Tang Jing, they would not rule out suing it in court.

Tang Jing then wrote in her blog: "I thought about it, technology is so advanced now. Even if I send out the recording file, it will definitely be considered by people who don't believe it as a fake through some voice-changing software. It's like when the nude photo sanitation came out, don't the fans of celebrities think that the photos were from the PS? Pictures can be ps, and videos can be faked. So what's the difficulty of faketing an audio file? People who don't believe it will not believe it no matter what evidence you give. Sometimes I feel that it's a sanity to doubt everything. It's a tragic thing to doubt that everything is overwhelming... So I decided not to post it for the time being. If you have any questions, ask Tony Tang En. Isn't he in Sichuan, China?"

Tang En suddenly found that she and Xianya were in this small town in southern Sichuan with her parents, and Tang’s plan to take a vacation together was completely ruined.

Because there were suddenly many reporters who spoke Mandarin accents from all over the country suddenly came near Tang’s parents’ home...

Every day, someone knocks on the door and asks politely and humbly: "Does Mr. Tony Don live here?"

Since Tang Jing called on people with questions to ask Tony and Tang En on his blog, all of these reporters have really come over. Anyway, when I interviewed Tang before, I knew the address of the Tang family and came to me one by one, hoping to hear Tang En say whether the words really came from him.

In order not to disturb the two elders, Tang En had to move to a hotel in the city with Xianya. Finally, he led the reporter like a fly away from the Tang family.

But they didn’t come here to travel around, they just hope to live with the two elders. What’s the point of returning to Sichuan after such a tossing?

"What's going on?" Tang En was surprised. He couldn't think of why he suddenly turned into a flies and liked cream cake.

"The words you said to Tang Jing were put on the blog by her." Only Tang and Tang Jing still had contact, so they knew the whole story. "But I didn't expect them to come to you so quickly. It seems..." He didn't say it later. It seems that Tang Jing can't hold on anymore.

"Are you wrong?" Tang En cursed, "but these people are just like crazy people who cursing Chinese football. Conservatively, there are 10,000 people cursing Chinese football every day, right? Why don't you look for them?"

"If ordinary people scold you, the people are not concerned about it. You are different. You are a public figure and a famous coach. Even if you fart, people will pay attention to you."

Tang En covered his nose: "You can find a better analogy in the future. My head is my mouth, not my butt. No, why should I suffer this crime for your secret lover? I can't even play well... I will show off with them directly, tell them the answer, and then ask them to go wherever they come from!"

"Aren't you worried?"

"What am I worried about?" Tang En looked at Tang strangely, "What are you afraid to admit after saying such words? It's not a shameful thing. Besides... I am a British man, what do I dare not say? If you scold them, can the Football Association masters do to me? Ban me? Don't let me attend the Spring Festival Gala? Delete the advertisements of my endorsement products? Completely cut off my possibility of coaching the Chinese team? Oh, that's really thankful... I'll die in the evening when I hear this."

So the next day, Tang Enyou stayed at the hotel to inform the reporters who followed him to the small town in southern Sichuan that he would hold a temporary press conference tomorrow. If you have any questions, please ask at the meeting.

The hotel where Tang En stayed is the best hotel in the city. But it rarely ushers in such a lively scene. They treat this as the most solemn thing and do their best. The publicity is very well done. All the reporters from the news came to know that Tang En was going to hold a press conference. So there were more people here.

On the day of the temporary press conference, the hotel's special remote conference room was not enough for people to stand. The hotel manager was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat. In the end, Tang En came out and asked everyone to simply move to the lobby. This solved the problem.

Because it was a temporary press conference, there was no time to prepare any background boards for advertising sponsors. The curtain behind Tang En had the huge logo and name of the hotel, but he gave them a free advertisement.

"I know what you are going to ask. Yesterday I went online and looked around. "As soon as Tang En sat down, he said in Chinese without waiting for the reporters to raise his hand to ask. "This matter is very interesting. I am not saying that the article is interesting, I am saying that everything that comes from this is very interesting."

"I will not deny what I have done. I have read Miss Tang Jing carefully. I am here to officially announce that the article involves the part I said, and there is no change in a word. It is indeed what I said to Miss Tang Jing myself." Tang En looked at the stunned reporters seriously.

"Okay, that's all I want to say, goodbye." After that, he got up and was about to leave.

The reporters woke up as if they were dreaming. They didn't care about the order of raising their hands to ask questions. They rushed forward one by one, blocking Tang En, and threw away their questions one by one.

"Mr. Done! I can't understand why you said those!"

"Tang Jing asked, of course I have to answer. What's wrong with this?"

"No, I mean... your answer is somewhat inconsistent with your identity..."

"What's wrong with it? Because I am the head coach of Nottingham Forest, can't I comment on Chinese football? Don't you reporters especially like to ask when interviewing foreigners - what do you think of Chinese players, Chinese football teams...will you wait?"

"Mr. Tang En. Your understanding of Chinese football cannot be so profound. Could it be that Miss Tang Jing hinted you to say it? Or she wrote the answer in advance and asked you to read it accordingly?"

"Don't tease me sir. You are not only insulting my IQ, but also insulting my personality. I understand those words myself. No one has given me any hints, nor have you memorized the manuscript in advance."

"But you are British..."
To be continued...
