Liang Dongping didn't say anything. He felt that what Zhang Yang said seemed to make some sense, but he also thought that Zhang Yang was still quibbling, and in the final analysis, he wanted to cover up the truth of the facts.

If you are a person, you will have weaknesses, and Liang Dongping is no exception. He is by no means a warrior in the strict sense. In order to defend the so-called justice, he chose to jump off the building, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to jump. Destiny seemed to be joking with him, which made him face a similar situation. The recording provided by Zhang Yang shattered Liang Dongping's last fantasy. Li Tongyu's words made him believe that Li Tongyu could not contribute to himself, and only he could save himself.

Liang Dongping said: "You asked me to apologize...but then I... how can I do things in the press in the future?"

Zhang Yang felt that Liang Dongping was still funny. At this time, he actually wanted to go back to be his reporter. Zhang Yang said: "If you add one to the statement, this report was written under the instruction of Li Tongyu, and I will also provide you with a job." After the official Zhang threatened, he began to tempt him.

Liang Dongping's expression was very embarrassing.

Zhang Yang stood up and said, "You think carefully yourself, I'll wait for your reply!"

Shortly after Zhang Yang left, Li Tongyu also came to visit Liang Dongping. Liang Dongping did not mention Zhang Yang coming, because he had doubts about Li Tongyu just now.

Li Tongyu first asked about Liang Dongping's situation, and then comforted him, but as for the substantive things, they did not touch them at all.

Liang Dongping finally couldn't help saying, "President Li, when will I go out?"

Li Tongyu said: "Xiaoliang, I am helping find someone. You know, this time, something is a bit troublesome. The person named Zhang is going to sue you for the crime of injury. You must be mentally prepared for the worst."

When Liang Dongping heard what you meant? He asked me to prepare for the worst. Do you not plan to care about me anymore? He looked at Li Tongyu with questions.

Li Tongyu noticed something from his eyes and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I will hire you the best lawyer. We may not lose this matter!"

Liang Dongping said: "We? Even if something happens, I will be the one who goes to jail in the end." Liang Dongping's words were obviously emotional.

Li Tongyu sighed and said, "Xiao Liang, your business is the business of the newspaper. We are the socialist new China. As journalists, we have freedom of speech and we also have the courage to uphold the truth. In the face of evil forces and unhealthy trends, we cannot bow our heads easily."

Liang Dongping said: "President Li, Zhang Yang has just arrived!"

Li Tongyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his expression quickly returned to calm, and he said calmly: "What did he say?"

Liang Dongping said: "He said that as long as our newspaper publishes a public apology statement and admits that the previous report has not passed the verification and is a false report, he will give up the prosecution..." Liang Dongping quietly observed Li Tongyu's expression.

Li Tongyu flatly refused: "No, adhering to the truth is the most basic principle for us journalists."

Liang Dongping said: "If we don't apologize, he will send me to prison!"

Li Tongyu said: "So what? You are a conscientious journalist. Do you want to bow to evil? Do you have to give up your persistence in the truth?" Li Tongyu said passionately and righteously, but there was a hint of air conditioning in Liang Dongping's heart. Zhang Yang said nothing wrong. Li Tongyu would not care about his life or death at all. All Li Tongyu wanted to do was to take revenge on Zhang Yang, and the others were not important to him at all.

Liang Dongping's heart was filled with sorrow, and he felt like he was abandoned by others.

Li Tongyu patted his shoulder and said, "Xiaoliang, don't be afraid. The more this happens, the more we cannot surrender. I read your two follow-up reports, which are well written. I will publish the second report tomorrow. The more they are afraid, the more problems they are proved, threatening us and not wanting us to speak. We are the media, and we must play a role in supervision, and we cannot be scared by them!"

Liang Dongping said: "President Li...I don't want to go to jail!"

Li Tongyu understood his fear from Liang Dongping's eyes. Li Tongyu realized that Liang Dongping could no longer support him. He whispered: "Xiao Liang, do you think you apologize and Zhang Yang will let you go? You knocked him into sterilization. For a man, this is something that concerns lifelong happiness. Do you think he will let you go? In fact, even if he is in jail, it is nothing great. After a few years, I promise that your salary and benefits will be a lot of money. After you come out, the editor-in-chief will be yours. I will definitely support you with all my strength." Li Tongyu did not miss the opportunity to tempt.

Liang Dongping said tremblingly: "I...what should I do...what should I do? President Li, please help me...that follow-up report...you must not publish it again, I don't want to cause trouble again...I don't want to..."

Li Tongyu stood up and said, "Xiao Liang, calm down."

Li Tongyu walked out of the room and came outside. Tang Kegang, deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, came over and said with concern: "President Li, what do you say about Xiao Liang?"

Li Tongyu shook his head and whispered: "Prepare a statement of dismissal. From the date of the statement, all Liang Dongping's actions have nothing to do with our newspaper!"

“That report…”

"Continue to publish!"

Li Tongyu did not expect that Liang Dongping would be released that night. On the day of his release, Liang Dongping held a public press conference accompanied by Zhang Yang. Liang Dongping lived so big that he always interviewed others. It was his first time facing the camera and being interviewed by many media.

As the spotlight flashed, Liang Dongping picked up the microphone: "Dear sirs and ladies, all the media reporters, I am Liang Dongping. Today, the purpose of my press conference here is to issue a public apology statement." Liang Dongping coughed, turned around and looked, Zhang Yang sat next to him and nodded to him with a smile.

Liang Dongping took out a wrinkled white paper from his pocket, which was a draft he had just drafted. Liang Dongping said: "I, Liang Dongping, currently a reporter from the Southeast Daily News Department, published an article titled "Sponsorship! The weight that enterprises cannot bear!" on the first page of Southeast Daily on the 23rd of this month, the day before yesterday. This article conducted an in-depth analysis of the issue of corporate sponsorship and listed many examples. After the article was published, it caused a great impact inside and outside Pinghai Province, causing great trouble to many enterprises in Nancy City. This is what I said before writing this article. I felt ashamed to see that it had caused such a great impact, because most of the problems mentioned in this report are not true, and I have not undergone actual investigation. The examples listed in the article are all hearsay and lack factual basis..."

Whispers have begun below.

Zhang Yang received a call and took advantage of Liang Dongping's pause to drink water and said in his ear: "The latest news, you have been fired by the Southeast Daily!" Zhang Daguan was like pouring oil on the fire. Liang Dongping was still worried. After all, he did not turn against him. He came out to hold a press conference and apologized publicly, with the purpose of avoiding the prison. He did not want to add insult to implicate Li Tongyu. Although Li Tongyu ignored him, he did not want to break up with his old boss. He heard that he was fired by the Southeast Daily. Liang Dongping's anger was completely aroused. The paralyzed Li Tongyu, you should kill the donkey! If you don't save me, I won't allow me to save myself. It seems that Zhang Yang is right. From beginning to end, you Li Tongyu only treat me as a tool to use. Since you are not kind, I am not righteous.

Liang Dongping was a little extreme in doing things. In the past two days, he was already very dissatisfied with Li Tongyu. At this critical moment, Li Tongyu fired him. All the resentment broke out. Liang Dongping threw the draft, picked up the microphone, and said excitedly: "I also want to confess to the media reporters here. This report was written by our president Li Tongyu. I was very resistant at the beginning. I think that as a journalist, you must have a conscience and respect the facts. You cannot write things without factual basis to attract the public. But Li Tongyu came to me.

He said that the most important thing about news is not the facts, but to attract public attention. As long as the people can pay attention to our newspapers, I am a successful reporter. But since I published this report, I feel uneasy. I think that as a reporter, the most important thing is to respect the facts, to be worthy of our conscience, and not to betray our conscience for the sales of newspapers and the public's ideas. I take this opportunity to express my solemn apology to the major companies in Nancy that have troubled me and officially announced that I will resign from all positions in Southeast Daily from today."

The scene calmed down, but then a warm applause rang out. Official Zhang was the first to applause, applauded vigorously, and then everyone clapped.

Next, when the reporter asked a question, a reporter asked Liang Dongping: "Mr. Liang, why did Li Tongyu, the president of Southeast Daily, instruct you to write this report without factual basis?"

Liang Dongping said: "I don't know..."
