Chapter 989 Don’t Be an Illegal Coal Miner in the 8th Generation
Mu Xuan naturally had no idea what other people in the office said after he left with Editor-in-Chief Lin.
He originally thought that his colleagues were just like him, indignant about Mu Tian's many actions, and that they were in the same group.
Little did he know that he was also the target of gossip among his colleagues.
After arriving at Editor-in-Chief Lin's office, Editor-in-Chief Lin handed them some photos and a document.
"This is the latest news we received. Please organize it and write a report." Editor-in-Chief Lin said.
The two took the document and opened it. They found out that it was an international primary school that charged a high tuition fee. However, the meals provided to the students at noon were substandard, and many of the meals were even spoiled. However, they still served them to the students.
As a result, many students developed health problems, and it happened that most of the students in an entire class were hospitalized.
"Editor-in-chief, are these sources of information reliable?" Li Fang asked uncertainly.
He had heard of this international primary school. The tuition fee was simply not affordable for ordinary working-class people, but because it claimed to have foreign teachers invited from many foreign countries, many people flocked to it.
"Ensure accuracy, just write your reports truthfully." Editor-in-Chief Lin said affirmatively.
When Mu Xuan heard this, he knew that these photos and documents were given to Editor-in-Chief Lin by Mu Tian.
Mu Tian has been doing undercover work in recent years, and Mu Xuan knows about it.
At the same time, Mu Xuan also knew that because Mu Tian did not want his newspaper to attract too much attention, he would hand over the results of some investigations to Editor-in-Chief Lin, and their newspaper would write articles to report them.
In the past, this kind of thing would happen three or four times every year.
Others don’t know that these things were sent by Mu Tian, but Mu Xuan knows it very well.
"Editor-in-Chief, don't worry, we will definitely complete the task."
Mu Xuan and Li Fang assured.
They don't need to conduct undercover investigations in person. They can just write an article in the office based on the document contents and photos. When the article is published, the signature is still the two of them. This kind of thing can be said to be "gilding".
But Mu Xuan didn't like doing such things, as if he was taking advantage of Mu Tian.
However, although he was reluctant, Mu Xuan did not refuse.
It’s just that when writing the article, Mu Xuan included some personal opinions.
They deliberately made things sound more serious, and even fabricated some things that didn't happen.
After the incident attracted official attention, the investigation revealed that it was not as serious as reported. Their newspaper would definitely be interviewed for not being "factual".
By then, Editor-in-Chief Lin would no longer receive messages from Mu Tian.
As for his report that exaggerated the facts, he could completely put all the blame on Mu Tian and tell Editor-in-Chief Lin that it was Mu Tian who asked him to write it that way.
As far as he knew, in order to avoid suspicion, Mu Tian and Editor-in-Chief Lin had not had much contact in recent years. Even these evidences and photos were sent by mail.
Therefore, Editor-in-Chief Lin would not ask Mu Tian in person, and would not know that he was lying.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Mu Xuan became.
All of a sudden, my inspiration came to me. I worked overtime at night and finished the report in less than a day.
Li Fang was the first to see Mu Xuan's article, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.
At first glance, the report seemed fine, but he could still see that it was not an article describing factual events, but was mixed with a lot of personal emotional outbursts.
"Brother Mu, is it really okay to write like this?"
It was mixed with a lot of personal emotions, which was not only very different from Mu Xuan's previous writing style, but also contrary to the neutral attitude that their newspaper has always maintained.
"What's the problem? They have done such terrible things, and you won't allow me to write about it?" Mu Xuan said with a righteous look on his face.
Mu Xuan took the manuscript from Li Fang and stood up, saying, "I'll give it to the deputy editor-in-chief for review. If there are no problems, I'll give it to them for typesetting."
Li Fang looked at Mu Xuan's back as he left, and always felt that this was not a good thing to do.
"Xiao Li, you just got here, so don't try to argue with Mu Xuan. He has a backer, and you definitely can't win the argument with him." Seeing that Li Fang was in a low mood, the colleague spoke to comfort him.
"I know, thank you Sister Peng."
At this moment, the phone at Li Fang's workstation suddenly rang, and he hurried to pick it up.
Before he could get over his depressed mood, the words on the other end of the phone suddenly brightened his eyes.
But he quickly covered it up and didn't let other colleagues in the office see it.
"I understand, thank you." Li Fang said and hung up the phone.
"Xiao Li, who is that?" asked the colleague who had just comforted Li Fang.
"I've made some progress in my previous investigation into the food factory. I'll be heading out right now." Li Fang said as he hurriedly picked up his coat and briefcase and quickly left the newspaper office.
Li Fang has only been at the newspaper for half a year. Although the time is short, he works very hard.
Now that they saw him out investigating again, his colleagues didn't think much of it and continued to be busy with their own work.
After leaving the newspaper, Li Fang did not go to any food factory. Instead, he went to a hotel nearby, rented a room there and started writing reporting articles.
It was still about the substandard food in the elementary school lunch. Compared with Mu Xuan's article which was a vent of personal emotions, his was just a matter of fact without any falsehood.
-
At the same time, Yun Yi in Nancheng hung up the phone and laughed.
He also didn't expect that the poor college student he sponsored four years ago would be assigned to the newspaper where Mu Tian resigned after graduation.
When Li Fang graduated half a year ago, he made a special trip to Nancheng to express his gratitude for his financial support and to bring him this good news.
From that time on, Yun Yi came up with a plan to completely expose Mu Xuan's true nature.
It’s just that Yun Yi has been too busy in the past few months, and he even went abroad. He just asked Li Fang to keep an eye on Mu Xuan’s every move, but he didn’t have any definite and feasible plans.
Until a few days ago, Yun Yi saw the incident of substandard lunch at an international primary school from Mu Tian, and knew that he was going to hand over the explanation of the incident and all the evidence to Editor-in-Chief Lin.
In an instant, a plan that could be implemented formed in Yun Yi's mind.
In the past few days, he has been asking Li Fang to praise the newspaper run by Mu Tian in front of Mu Xuan, and praise how powerful Mu Tian is.
What Mu Xuan hated most in his life was Mu Tian's 'hypocrisy', so he must be furious at this moment.
Seizing such an opportunity, he would of course cut off the contact between Mu Tian and Editor-in-Chief Lin.
As long as there is one more person in this world who hates Mu Tian, Mu Xuan will be happy.
No matter whether it is beneficial to him or not, he will do anything as long as it is harmful to Mu Tian.
Therefore, the report that Li Fang wrote truthfully was the final step of the entire plan.
