Chapter 547: Distorting the Facts

"Anyway, as long as you don't distort the facts. On my own territory, it's my own right to do whatever you want." Zhang Jidong said.

"Sir, I think you have some misunderstanding of our journalists. As a professional journalist, I have my professional qualities. It is impossible to distort the facts." Lina said.

"Is that so? Haha." Zhang Jidong had a bad impression of European and American journalists, which is a fact.

No matter how Lina defended her, Zhang Jidong did not change his impression of the reporter. However, he did not drive Lina out without any grace, but instead handed it over to Eddie to receive it.

Lina returned to the magazine and was about to write the interview into a report. Lina's boss Garrigan happened to come to find Lina for something.

"What are you writing?" Garrigan asked.

"I went to Charles Manor for an interview today. A garden worker who used to work in the manor told me that the new owner completely destroyed Charles' works, so I went for an interview. It is true that Charles' design has been modified beyond recognition, but the new garden style of the manor is no less than Charles' design, and is even more natural and beautiful than Charles' design." Linna said.

"Linna, how are you going to write this story?" Garrigan asked.

"Of course, we tell our readers the facts truthfully, with pictures and texts, and I will also find the original pictures of Charles Manor for comparison. It just so happened that our magazine had done Charles' reports before, and there were a lot of ready-made pictures." Linna said.

"Wait, Lina, do you know what kind of reports our readers like to read? The works of Master Charles were destroyed, the new owner is Oriental, by the way, Chinese. So many eye-catching things are placed in front of you, but you turn a deaf ear. Do you know that our sales are constantly declining recently? This is a good opportunity. We'd better make this report a serial." Garrigan's idea is obviously completely different from Lina.

"No, I don't agree to do this. This is not true!" Lina said.

"Master Charles' works were destroyed, and the new owner of the manor was Chinese. Both of these are facts," said Garrigan.

"Charles' works have indeed been replaced, but the new design is better and more beautiful than the original one. The oriental garden design style is different from that of the West, and the new owner's aesthetic concept is also different from that of us. He has the right to change the garden style in his own manor. Our reports will cause trouble to the owner of the manor." Lina said dissatisfied.

"We are just reporting truthfully. Even if we go to court, we will not be in the wrong hands. As for causing trouble to the owner of the manor, I'm sorry," said Garrigan.

"I won't do this, this is my report." Lina now probably understood why the owner of the manor was so repulsive to her. Perhaps she had known that such a result would be there.

"You can't help it. If you don't do this, I'll suppress your manuscript and send someone to interview again. It's just taking a little more time. As for you, you'll think you can't submit the manuscript on time and get fired by the magazine." Garrigan threatened.

"Even if I am dismissed, I will not compromise. I will expose your behavior." Linna was also very tough.

"You! Okay, let's see!" Garrigan was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity. As the editor-in-chief, he was under great pressure. The president had already interviewed him. If the magazine's sales could not be improved as soon as possible, his good days as the editor-in-chief would be over.

In anger, Lina voluntarily resigned, and her report was posted on her Twitter. However, Lina has few fans on Twitter, and such a report is not eye-catching. Even a garden master like Charles doesn't know much. Unless she is very interested in gardening, she knows what Charles is doing.

After Lina left, Garrigan immediately went to Charles Manor in person, but the manor's house refused to accept Garrigan's interview.

"Sorry, the owner of the manor does not want his life to be disturbed, so, sorry, please leave here, this is a private manor." Eddie stared at Garygan with a fierce look. The last time a beautiful reporter was put in for an interview, it had already caused dissatisfaction from the owner. If this somewhat vulgar reporter was put in, his job might not be guaranteed. Eddie did not think that he was essential in this manor.

"You can't do this? I'm a reporter and have the right to interview the manor. You have ruined the master's work." Garrigan said dissatisfied.

Eddie turned and left, leaving behind an angry Garrigan.

Garrigan didn't dare to force himself into the manor. Who knew if there would be a gun in the manor pointing at his head? Although there was no chance to interview, Garrigan took some pictures of the bad angle from around the manor. Especially when he found the nameplate of Charles Manor, which was discarded by Zhang Jidong in the grass. Garrigan was as if he had found the treasure. After taking several photos in a row, he put away the almost abandoned nameplate and took it back.

Soon, an article titled "The most beautiful manor in the United States changed ownership, and the master's works were discarded in the weeds". The whole report was in a critical tone, and guided readers in the directions of "Chinese manor owners, nouveau riche, wantonly destroying master's works."

Sure enough, as Garrigan expected, this report attracted the attention of readers and was reprinted crazily online. Even the translation and reprint of this news appeared on the homepage of domestic portal websites.

"Ji Dong, something big happened. The reporter who came that day really distorted the report of our manor. You have now become a nouveau riche who destroys master's works. Many people in China are scolding you and saying that you have been embarrassed and left abroad." Zhang Jiling was very angry.

Zhang Jidong was not surprised. He expected such a result since he saw the reporter appear in the manor that day.

"Doctor Zhang, there is a reporter who wants to find you, the female reporter who has been to our manor before." Eddie ran over and told Zhang Jidong.

"You still dare to bring reporters in? Do you know how much trouble it caused us because of your mistake?" Zhang Jiling blamed.

"I didn't expect things to develop like this, either." Eddie was very depressed. He really didn't expect the reporter to write like this.

"Let her come in. I want to see what else she wants to do." Zhang Jidong said.

"You are stupid. People are scolding us behind the scenes. Why do we still have to treat each other with courtesy? Just hit it out." Zhang Jiling clenched his fists.

"Look at it first, then talk about it." Zhang Jidong said.

Lina came to Zhang Jidong in an electric car.

"You dare to come? You made my brother so angry that he was scolded by the people of the world." Zhang Jiling said.

"I'm sorry, but this report has nothing to do with me. I have resigned long ago, and this report was written after I left. And I was forced to resign because I refused to publish such a report." Lina said.

"Do you think I will trust you if you say it casually?" Zhang Jiling said disdainfully.

"I can't do anything if you don't believe it. This is the case. My report was posted on Twitter, but unfortunately I didn't read it very much." Lina opened her Twitter helplessly.

Zhang Jiling took it and took a look. The pictures and texts were all in it. The content of the report was completely different from that of Garden and Life Magazine. Zhang Jiling looked back and looked through the reports of Garden and Life Magazine, and found that there was another person in the reporter of the report. Then he said embarrassedly: "It's not you. But what's the use of you coming here now?"

"I just came over to express my apology. If this report had not been initiated, there might not have been such a thing." Lina said.

"Don't worry, I'm not a celebrity anyway, so they can't do anything to me." Zhang Jidong was not worried at all.

This is true. Zhang Jidong is not a public figure. Even if someone in China has slaughtered others, he will find that Zhang Jidong is a person who is not able to cause topics. At most, he is asking those keyboard warriors to vent a few words. Over time, the impact of this matter was completely eliminated.

Zhang Jidong transformed the farmland and Zhang Jiling's summer vacation was about to end. Next, the manor and farm will be managed by people from Changle Health Association.

When Jiang Changhao returned to the clinic, he seemed to see a savior when he saw Zhang Jidong: "Doctor Zhang, you are back. Recently, there are many patients with difficult diseases in the clinic. If you don't come back, I can't hold on."

"You can't deal with it, so let these patients go to another place for examination and treatment." Zhang Jidong said.

"If I could do this, I would have done this long ago. Unfortunately, these patients refused to leave. If they could be cured from other places, they would not have come here. Besides, they were willing to wait, so I would not be able to drive others away, right?" Jiang Changhao did not tell any lies. Those patients were really unable to drive them away, so they called for Dr. Zhang to treat them.

During the period when Zhang Jidong left, there were quite a lot of difficult patients in the clinic. Zhang Jidong is now well-known in the traditional Chinese medicine circle in Beijing. Doctors with excellent medical skills are becoming more famous in the patient circle.

Zhang Jidong could only ask Jiang Changhao to arrange the accumulated difficult diseases and spend some time to diagnose and treat these accumulated patients.
