Not long after the news of Su Ai's death became a hot topic, Harvest Literature Network issued a statement.
"Su Ai is not dead!"
This statement was issued by Fang Qing herself. When she saw the news about Su Ai's death on the Internet, she had very complicated emotions.
Surprise, anger and guilt.
She knew that the reason why the person who wrote this news speculated about Su Ai's death was entirely because of the post she made out of anger.
However, Fang Qing did not go to Zhang Zhong to apologize immediately, but now clarified the rumors of Su Ai's death on the Internet.
Because she knows that apologizing is useless, and the most important thing now is to eliminate the impact of the news.
She waited until the clarification announcement was released before calling Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong was writing in his study when he received the call.
After listening to Fang Qing's stormy apology, he smiled and said, "Editor Fang, I know you are not to blame for this."
Hearing Zhang Zhong's words, Fang Qing felt a little comfort in her heart.
"Teacher Zhang, thank you for your understanding. Don't worry, Harvest Literature will do its best to refute the rumors. We have already found a lawyer and are preparing to pursue the legal responsibility of "Lingfeng Evening News"," Fang Qing said.
Zhang Zhong put the phone on the table and put it on speakerphone. While talking to Fang Qing, he didn't stop holding his hand.
Today he specially set aside a few hours to prepare to read "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming".
There are a lot of words in a post like "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming", and it would take a lot of time to write it down. Normally, he would not be able to read the entire text.
I finally found some free time today, so I wanted to read the full text.
"Well, I understand, you can take care of this matter."
Fang Qing also had a serious tone and said wisely, "Okay, Teacher Zhang, I won't disturb you anymore."
…
The statement refuting the rumors published by Harvest Literature had little effect.
As the saying goes, if you open your mouth to spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them.
Many people believed the "Lingfeng Evening News" article that was based on rumors.
However, not many people saw Harvest Literature’s refutation of rumors.
However, the editor-in-chief of "Lingfeng Evening News" still went to Liu Nan.
"Liu Nan, what do you say about this?" The editor-in-chief photographed the phone in front of Liu Nan and said angrily.
Liu Nan looked at the editor-in-chief and curled his lips secretly.
When the press release was given to you, you did not question its authenticity.
"Editor-in-Chief, there is no need to worry about this matter at all. Don't you think it's strange? Why is Harvest Literature getting involved in this matter? Shouldn't Su Ai come out to clarify? They are most likely just bluffing."
Hearing what Liu Nan said, the editor-in-chief also felt that it made sense, but they were a small newspaper after all. Although they were popular, they couldn't stand the trouble.
"It's better to be careful about this."
"Don't worry, the full text of my press release did not specifically say that Su Ai really passed away. I just put forward a speculation."
Liu Nan was very confident. Although he felt that Su Ai had really died, he still left himself a way out, so there was no fabricated evidence in the news. It seemed conclusive, but upon closer reading, it was ambiguous. Even if Su Ai did not die, he would come.
If you sue them, you won't win.
Seeing that Liu Nan was so sure, the editor-in-chief didn't say anything else. He just hummed and said, "You'd better be sure, otherwise our newspaper won't be able to afford this."
The implication is that the newspaper office is always ready to abandon the car to save the handsome man.
Liu Nan also understood the meaning and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't worry. Look at the popularity of Su Ai's death now, and look at the popularity of Harvest Literature to refute rumors, there will be no problem."
…
The matter has been tangled up for nearly a week.
Harvest Literature Network is preparing to sue Lingfeng Evening News, but the lawsuit will take time. The most important thing is that Harvest Literature Network has no way to prove that Su Ai did not die.
The best way to prove that Su Ai is not dead is for Su Ai himself to come out and clarify.
But Harvest Literary Network had troubles that they couldn't tell, and it was impossible for them to ask Su Ai to come out and clarify.
Although Zhang Zhong didn't pay any attention to it, Chen Qing always reported on the progress of the matter.
"Boss, I'm afraid Harvest Literature Network won't win if they go to court. After all, their position is wrong."
Indeed, their position is wrong. After all, Harvest Literature Network is just a website that helped Su Ai publish articles. What position do they take to sue?
Zhang Zhong sighed and said, "Okay, I know this matter and I will handle it."
"Um."
Chen Qing didn't know how Zhang Zhong planned to deal with it, but he didn't ask any more questions because he believed that since the boss said he would handle it, the matter would definitely be resolved.
After hanging up the phone with Chen Qing, Zhang Zhong found Fang Qing's phone number and dialed it.
"Hey, Teacher Zhang. Don't worry, we have already started suing "Lingfeng Evening News"..."
As soon as the call was connected, Fang Qing hurriedly reported the progress of the matter.
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "I already know that things are a bit troublesome. Let's put the lawsuit aside for now. You can check your mailbox later and prepare to announce the news about the new book."
"Teacher Zhang, what do you mean..."
Before Fang Qing finished speaking, Zhang Zhong's call had already been hung up.
Zhang Zhong's words left Fang Qing confused for a moment, and she quickly opened her mailbox with doubts.
No mail.
Just stare at the email homepage.
About five minutes later.
There is a new message in your mailbox.
A new email from Zhang Zhong.
Fang Qing's eyes lit up, she clicked on the email, and then she was stunned.
This new email is none other than a novel called Pride and Prejudice.
The email also included Zhang Zhong’s words at the beginning.
"This is a new book. Let's find someone to proofread it before sending it out."
new book!
Only then did Fang Qing's chaotic mind begin to clear up.
She finally understood the meaning of what Zhang Zhong said just now.
Surprised and delighted.
This is Fang Qing's mood now.
Fortunately, with this new book, all rumors will be dispelled.
Surprisingly, Zhang Zhong got a new book so quickly.
Of course it couldn't have been just written.
No one can write a huge book of hundreds of thousands of words in this period of time.
Thinking of this, Fang Qing inexplicably felt a little resentment in her heart.
She had obviously written a new book a long time ago, so why had he been perfunctory when she repeatedly asked Zhang Zhong if he had a new book?
She even thanked the reporter from "Lingfeng Evening News" who made up the news. If it weren't for his fake news, Zhang Zhong probably wouldn't have sent the book to Harvest Literature Network.
But no matter what, the most important thing right now is to release the news about the new book as soon as possible.
She picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Old Li, hurry up and break the news. Su Ai's latest masterpiece "Pride and Prejudice" will be released soon."
