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

If you are a human being, you will have weaknesses, 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 did not have the courage to jump, fate seems to be joking with him, and he faced a similar situation. The recording provided by Zhang Yang shattered the last illusion in Liang Dongping's heart, and Li Tongyu's words made him believe that Li Tongyu could not help himself, and only he could save himself.

Liang Dongping said: "You asked me to apologize............ But then I ...... How will I work in journalism in the future? ”

Zhang Yang felt that Liang Dongping was still very funny" At this time, he actually thought about going back to be his reporter, Zhang Yang said: "If you add a clause to the statement, this report was written under the instruction of Li Tongyu, and I will also provide you with a job." After Zhang Daguan's coercion, he began to lure.

Liang Dongping's expression was very embarrassed.

Zhang Yang stood up and said, "You think about it yourself, I'll wait for your reply!" Not long after Zhang Yang left, Li Tongyu also came to visit Liang Dongping, and Liang Dongping did not mention Zhang Yang's coming, because he heard the recording just now, and he became suspicious of Li Tongyu.

Li Tongyu first asked about Liang Dongping's situation, and then comforted him twice, as for the substantive things, he didn't touch on them at all.

Liang Dongping finally couldn't help but say, "President Li, when can I go out?" ”

Li Tongyu said: "Xiaoliang, I'm helping to find someone, you know, this time the matter is a bit troublesome" The surname Zhang wants to sue you for the crime of harming "You have to be mentally prepared for the worst." ”

What do you mean when Liang Dongping hears you? Prepare me for the worst, isn't it going to leave me alone? He looked at Li Tongyu with questions.

Li Tongyu sensed something from his gaze, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I will hire the best lawyer for you, we may not lose this matter!" Liang Dongping said: "Let? Even if something happens, I'll be the one who ends up in jail. Liang Dongping's words were obviously emotional.

Li Tongyu sighed and said: "Xiaoliang, your business is the newspaper's business, we are a new socialist China, as reporters, we have the freedom to speak, we also have the courage to adhere to the truth, in the face of evil forces and unhealthy trends, we cannot easily bow our heads." Liang Dongping said: "President Li, Zhang Yang came here just now!" ”

Li Tongyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his expression quickly regained his calmness, and he said indifferently, "What did he say?" ”

Liang Dongping said: "He said that as long as our newspaper publishes a public apology statement, admitting that the previous report did not pass 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, upholding the truth is the most basic principle of our journalists. ”

Liang Dongping said: "If we don't apologize, he will send me to prison!" Li Tongyu said: "So what? You are a journalist with a conscience, are you going to bow down to evil? Are you going to give up your insistence on the truth? Li Tongyu said impassionedly, "Justice is awe-inspiring", but Liang Dongping's heart is full of cold air: "Zhang Yang is right, Li Tongyu doesn't care about his life or death at all, what Li Tongyu wants to do is to retaliate against Zhang Yang, and the rest is not important to him at all."

Liang Dongping's heart was full of sadness, "He has a feeling of being abandoned by others.

Li Tongyu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiaoliang, don't be afraid, the more times like this, the more we can't give in, I read your two follow-up reports" is very well written, tomorrow I will publish the second report, the more they are afraid to prove that there is a problem in it, threatening us and not wanting us to speak, we are the media, we have to play a supervisory role, we can't be frightened by them! Liang Dongping said: "President Li......, I don't want to go to jail!" ”

Li Tongyu read his fear from Liang Dongping's gaze, Li Tongyu realized that Liang Dongping could no longer support it, and he said in a low voice: "Xiaoliang, do you think that if you apologize, Zhang Yang will let you go?" You knocked him into a neuter, and for a man, it's about a lifetime of happiness, and you think he's going to let you go? In fact, even if you go to prison, it's not a big deal, a few years later, I promise, your salary will be a lot, and when you come out, the position of editor-in-chief will be yours, and I will definitely support you with all my might. Li Tongyu lost no time in luring.

Liang Dongping said in a trembling voice: "I ...... What should I do, what should I do? President Lee: "Can you help me...... That follow-up report, you must not publish it again, I don't want to ...... again, I don't want to ......"

Li Tongyu stood up and said, "Bear it," calm down. ”

Li Tongyu walked out of the room and came outside, and Tang Kegang, the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, greeted him and said with concern: "President Li, what did Xiaoliang say?" ”

Li Tongyu shook his head and said in a low voice: PS Prepare a statement of dismissal, from the date of the statement, all the actions of Liang Dongping have nothing to do with our newspaper! ”

"That report ,..."

"Keep publishing!"

…………………………………………”，…………………………………………………………………………

Li Tongyu did not expect that Liang Dongping would be released that night, and on the day of his release, Liang Dongping held a public press conference accompanied by Zhang Yang.

In the flickering lights, Liang Dongping picked up the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen" Hello media reporters: "I am Liang Dongping, and the purpose of my press conference here today is to issue a public apology statement. Liang Dongping coughed, turned to look, Zhang Yang sat next to him, and nodded at him with a smile.

Liang Dongping pulled out a crumpled piece of white paper from his pocket, on which was the draft he had just prepared. Liang Dongping said: "I, Liang Dongping, now working as a reporter in the news department of Southeast Daily, published an article titled "Sponsorship!" on the first page of Southeast Daily. The weight that the enterprise cannot bear! After the article was published, it caused a great impact inside and outside Pinghai Province "It has brought a lot of trouble to many enterprises in Nancy City, which I said I didn't expect before writing this article, and I am deeply ashamed to see that it has caused such a big impact, because most of the problems mentioned in this report are not true, and I have not actually investigated, and the examples listed in the article are hearsay, lacking factual basis......"

Whispers have begun below.

Zhang Yang received a phone call, and when Liang Dongping stopped drinking water, he whispered in his ear: "The latest news, you have been fired from the Southeast Daily!" "Zhang Daguan is equivalent to pouring oil on the fire, Liang Dongping still has some scruples, after all, he and Li Tongyu did not turn his face, he came out to hold a press conference and publicly apologize" The purpose is to avoid prison, he does not want to fall into the well and implicate Li Tongyu in it, although Li Tongyu ignores him, but he also does not want to tear his face with his old club, I heard that he was fired by the Southeast Daily, Liang Dongping's anger was completely stimulated, "Paralyzed Li Tongyu" You unload the mill and kill the donkey! If you don't save me, forget it, don't allow me to save myself, it seems that Zhang Yang is not wrong, "From beginning to end, you Li Tongyu only used me as a tool to use, since you are unkind, I am not righteous."

Liang Dongping was a little extreme in doing things, he was already very dissatisfied with Li Tongyu in the past two days, and he was fired by Li Tongyu at this juncture, and all the grievances broke out, Liang Dongping threw away the draft, picked up the microphone, and said excitedly: "I also want to confess one thing to the media reporters here, this report is written by our president Li Tongyu instructed me to write" I was very resistant at the beginning "I think, as a journalist, you must have a conscience" to respect the facts, You can't write about things that have no factual basis to attract the public. However, Li Tongyu coerced and lured me, saying that the most important thing in news is not facts, but to attract the public's attention, and as long as the people can pay attention to our newspaper, he is a successful reporter. However, since the publication of this report, I have felt a troubled conscience, and I believe that as a journalist, the most important thing is to respect the facts, to be worthy of our conscience, and not to sell our conscience for the sake of the newspaper's sales and the public's opinion, and I take this opportunity to solemnly apologize to the major enterprises in Nancy for the trouble caused by my report, and officially announce that I will resign from all positions in the Southeast Daily as of today. ”

The scene was quiet, but then a warm applause rang out, Zhang Daguan was the first to applaud, applauded hard, and then everyone applauded.

Next, when it came to the reporter's question, a reporter asked Liang Dongping: "Mr. Liang, why did Li Tongyu, the president of Southeast Daily, ask you to write this report that has no factual basis?" ”

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

Zhang Yang smiled and took the microphone and said: "I can answer this question on my behalf, our Nancy Municipal Sports Committee had previously reached the intention of the Provincial Games with the Southeast Daily to have priority reporting rights, but later we found that the Southeast Daily did not meet our requirements, so we notified the Southeast Daily in advance, terminated the intention of cooperation, and chose a more professional "Pinghai Daily, which has more influence, may be the reason why some people are dissatisfied with me" and then have the idea of revenge! ”！ ~！
