Because there was still work to be done, even though Caitlin was very concerned about the outcome, she was not able to hear the parliamentary speech in person.
Fortunately, according to the mother who listened to the speech, the speech was very successful - Congressman Philos even shed tears of sympathy when he heard about the miserable situation of the workers.
This news greatly encouraged Caitlin. This was the first time she clearly felt that her work was effective.
Although this event relied on the strength of the family... it is still worthy of celebration!
However, when the Piltover Daily News came out the next day, Caitlin discovered that the solution to the entire incident seemed completely different from what she had imagined.
There is no minimum wage limit.
There is no work injury safety insurance.
There is no improvement in the working environment.
Instead, it was a "Workers Charitable Foundation" "committed to improving the working conditions of Piltover workers."
This news made Caitlin frown subconsciously.
The Charitable Foundation... the civilians of Piltover may regard it as a well-intentioned organization, but Caitlin knows its true nature.
Let's put it this way, nine out of ten of the disgusting balls that Caitlin attended were titled "Charity Balls."
But every time, Caitlin was the only one who actually donated real money.
As for other participants, some of them put out works of art for auction, and some put out some souvenirs to sell - in theory, the funds obtained will be used for charity, but the "operating costs" of the foundation will be excluded.
, how much money can be really used where it should be used...
Anyway, since reading the accounts, Caitlin has stopped donating money.
What's even more ironic is that because the auction prices of artworks are recorded, this kind of party often plays the role of raising the value of artists.
All in all, it is a charity ball that has everything except charity.
Therefore, when Caitlin wrote her speech, she did not mention charity. She hoped to solve the problem through more effective means!
Confused, Caitlin found her mother at night and asked her about the content of her speech - and the result was naturally the same as her speech.
So, the parliament is unwilling to issue regulations, but chooses to use this method?
Caitlin blinked, slightly slumped.
However, she quickly cheered up.
No matter how high the operation and management fees of this workers’ charity foundation are, it can at least have a certain effect!
Even if things are not resolved satisfactorily, there is progress!
Even if only three of the ten gold hex donations are used for workers... at least it is a good result!
Thinking this way, Caitlin's mood finally improved a lot.
……………………
The next day, according to the time previously agreed with Wei, Caitlin discussed the scope of the interview on the elevator regarding the list of certified journalists in Zaun and Piltover.
Wei, who has always disliked Pi City guys, insisted on registering all journalists and censoring their manuscripts.
"This is to prevent you from wantonly smearing!" Facing Caitlin, Wei was confident, "You Piltover reporters are always trying to make a big news for the sake of newspaper sales. We must preserve the information.
The right to review manuscripts!”
It was really difficult for Caitlin to find a way to refute Wei's request.
Previously, a Piltover reporter was caught making up nonsense. This was so embarrassing that Caitlin lost some confidence in speaking.
However, fortunately, her previous busyness was not in vain - she took a photo of today's Piltover Daily in front of Wei.
"The reporters in Zaun should also be more honest and not think about running around in Piltover and causing trouble for Piltover!" Caitlin said proudly, "We can solve Piltover's own problems ourselves.
!”
Wei glanced at the headline in the newspaper, "Workers' Charitable Foundation Established, Piltover Workers' Life Better". She was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You Picheng people...Pichen people are really good at fooling people!"
"?"
"Our reporter Yolfo V. Cardoras reports for you. Isn't this the bastard who made up the gossip about Ms. Renata?" Wei's disdain was beyond words, "What was his previous newspaper...
…Piltover Cultural Weekly? Now it’s all gone to Piltover Daily?”
Caitlin was stunned.
Because she was too concerned about the subsequent development of this matter, Caitlin focused on the issues about the charitable foundation and did not pay attention to the reporter's questions.
So, when Vi directly pointed out that this reporter was the guy who made up the gossip about Lenata, Caitlin was completely confused.
"A guy who was caught fabricating fake news can still be promoted, from a tabloid to the Piltover Daily... Tsk tsk tsk." Vi, who had seized the opportunity, obviously would not give up any opportunity to ridicule the people of Piltover, "I suddenly felt
, just reviewing press releases is not enough, maybe we can change the way, do our own interviews, how about exchanging interview transcripts?"
Caitlin said nothing.
She blushed fiercely and was restless.
In the end, Caitlin and Vi did not reach any consensus - Vi stepped out of the elevator with a satisfied and high-spirited look; while Caitlin seemed to have been sucked out of all her energy and energy, and was extremely depressed.
After finally getting to the end of today's experimental time, Caitlin waited patiently for everyone to register and leave, and then left the laboratory as if running away.
She has many problems.
……………………
Returning to the Giraman family's manor, she saw three guests that she never expected.
Jess.
Mel.
And...Jolfo V. Cardoras.
Caitlin greeted Jace and Mel in surprise, then narrowed her eyes and looked at Jolfo who was smiling.
"Why are you here?" Caitlin gritted her teeth, "Who invited you here?"
"It's me." Jace blinked and took the initiative to come to Caitlin's side. "I heard from Yolfo that there is some misunderstanding between you..."
"This is not a misunderstanding." Caitlin shook her head, "When the joint cooperation started, this guy went to Zaun for an interview, but he ended up fabricating gossip and was caught by the Zaun people."
It seemed like this was the first time Jace had heard about this. He turned around and looked at Jolfo with some surprise, a surprised expression on his face.
"That's not what you told me." Jess quickly became serious, "Interviews are not welcome, and gossip is not welcome. These are two different things."
"Mr. Tallis, I promise, this is indeed a misunderstanding." Jolfo spread his hands and showed a helpless look, "You know all my past reports - I am not someone who likes to make up lies.
People who make money from news, otherwise it would be impossible for me to conduct three consecutive interviews with you when Hex Technology was just born, Zaun exploded, and everyone was full of distrust of it..."
