Upon returning to Cheng Xiuwen's office, Hu Ruoyun pulled out a stack of cash from her bag and said, "Director Cheng, here’s six thousand yuan. Please count it... I can’t help but feel that your irresponsible reporting is akin to extortion: the content is biased, and if you don’t get paid, you’ll slander us; pay up, and you’ll retract the article..."
Cheng Xiuwen’s eyes and mind were fixated on the pile of blue hundred-yuan bills in front of him as he mumbled, "…Who told us we hold the reins of public opinion… this is just our newspaper's industry rule…"
As Hu Ruoyun handed over the money, she turned and opened the door. "Director Qiu, you can come in now!"
Cheng Xiuwen froze at the sight of the police badge. "You... you..."
Ignoring him, Hu Ruoyun took out a recorder from her bag, quickly rewound it, and pressed play. Their conversation echoed clearly in the room...
Cheng Xiuwen's face turned pale, his mouth agape as he struggled to find words.
Hu Ruoyun shot him a cold glare. "They say the media is the conscience of society, and every journalist is a part of that 'conscience.' What about you? Do you still have the integrity of a journalist?"
The next day, a letter bearing both propaganda and public security seals from Annan County arrived at Jiangbei Technology Newspaper. The president and chief editor, Lv Xiaohong, known in the provincial media circle as a "bombardier" for his aggressive tactics, was furious that a small county like Annan dared to detain one of his top reporters. He immediately instructed his office to activate their contingency plan.
They sent a response to Annan County stating: "We reserve the right to further investigate this incident..."
At the same time, they published a statement on the front page of Jiangbei Science and Technology News: "Recently, our reporter Cheng Xiuwen was detained by local police while covering an event in Annan. Our newspaper expresses concern over this incident and will defend our reporter’s right to report..."
The protective attitude was glaringly obvious.
However, what he didn’t know was that just one day after Cheng Xiuwen was taken away by Director Qiu Sixi of the Annan County Chengguan Police Station, Hu Ruoyun accompanied Gao Hongshan from Annan and Zhang Weimin from Laogu Township Police Station, along with Qin Jin from the propaganda department and Chai Hongmin from the Party Affairs Office to Jiang City. Through Lai Wen’s introduction, they arrived at Zhou Kaishan’s office at the provincial propaganda department to jointly report that Jiangbei Science and Technology News’ reporter had violated professional ethics and engaged in extortion under the guise of news supervision!
The series of written materials were self-explanatory; listening to the recordings on the recorder made Director Zhou grit his teeth...
Subsequently, Lv Xiaohong was summoned for an interview by relevant authorities!
Then things took a sharp turn.
Jiangbei Science and Technology News published an "important statement" prominently on their front page stating that their employee Cheng Xiuwen had committed serious violations while covering grassroots events. After internal deliberation, they decided to terminate her employment and report her to Jiangbei Province Press and Publication Bureau, Jiangbei Province Journalists Association, and Jiangbei Province Propaganda Department... revoking her press credentials...
Immediately afterward, Jiangbei Science and Technology News dispatched a joint reporting team composed of multiple departments—reporting, photography, planning—to cover Annan County's investment promotion efforts and highlight various beneficial initiatives for citizens.
Additionally, they reported on how Laogu Township Police Station took decisive action to protect local businesses' legal rights and combat unlawful activities threatening normal operations...
Five individuals led by Chu Da Kai were detained according to law and submitted for further processing by relevant departments.
The Laogu Township government followed procedures to dismiss those village officials who treated enterprises like Tang Seng Meat.
