Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!
Chapter 58 The Newspaper! Settling Accounts!
night.
It wasn't the time with the most netizens, but it was the most lively and active period.
Generally speaking, people have an excitation threshold, and an event can quickly reduce the dopamine release effect.
But... this news is like a shot of adrenaline.
It is forcibly injected into your bloodstream, rendering your own system unable to resist the intense emotions!
There's no way around it, this news is just outrageous no matter how you look at it. If it weren't for the endorsement from multiple authoritative media outlets and even the court issuing a statement, anyone would have called it a shameless news story.
Some have already been affected!
The next day.
11 month 17 day.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
"Oh no, this is terrible!"
"President, the feedback on the software commonly used by the citizens of Midorimori City is not bad."
"But on provincial news websites, a bunch of people from other provinces are criticizing us!"
Phoenix Newspaper Office, Green Forest City.
Inside the president's office.
Editor-in-Chief Qian was stunned by the data in the backend. He looked up at President Zhou of Phoenix News, who had stayed up all night with him, focusing on the news data.
Upon hearing this...
President Zhou, who was originally unable to stay up late and was feeling drowsy, suddenly shuddered and was wide awake.
Generally speaking, editors-in-chief and presidents, as senior executives of a newspaper, do not stay up late unless there is major news.
But coincidentally, the case the court announced yesterday... happened to be major news!
In this era where newspapers are gradually being replaced by the internet, every news item is enough to make the editor-in-chief nervous. So, Editor-in-Chief Zhou stayed up all night, only to be told... his inbox was full of people cursing him!?
"What's going on!?"
President Zhou's haggard face was filled with shock as he strode to the computer.
"Literal meaning."
Editor-in-Chief Qian is forty years old this year. He took a deep breath, pointed to the various comments on the computer, and looked up. The screen was full of dense text.
[Ugly Chick: Unscrupulous media! They can't even make their news stories believable!]
[Goji berry tea: This must be a joke. I admit legal aid lawyers can be very capable, but... let alone legal aid lawyers, even a top lawyer could get a suspended sentence and boast about it for a lifetime. How can legal aid lawyers get acquitted?]
[Goji berry tea: It's recommended that reporters thoroughly understand the legal environment in Dongguk and the overall quality of legal aid lawyers before writing news articles!]
[Captain, don't shoot: No, it's you disgusting reporters who have corrupted the public opinion environment in the East!]
【...】
Looking at these comments that are throwing dirty water at us.
President Zhou was dumbfounded. He sat in his chair, his head close to the screen, his index finger constantly sliding the mouse wheel, flipping through several pages, but there were very few positive reviews.
a long time.
President Zhou looked surprised. He looked up abruptly and couldn't help but look at Editor-in-Chief Qian.
"No, what do you mean by fabricating news?!"
He sounded a little anxious. "We didn't make up a single word! We even omitted a lot of things to make the news look fake!"
President Zhou had anticipated that these news articles would generate a lot of public discussion, but he never expected that even after screening and review, they would still be criticized.
He didn't even dare to write about the defense lawyer winning against nine opponents when he posted it online; he only wrote about the case, the lawyer's trial process, and the defendant's innocence!
How can someone who lost so much weight still be accused of spreading fake news?!
"If it's still considered fabricated, then the Green Forest News..."
President Zhou felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and didn't know what to do.
Green Forest News is the official television station of Green Forest City. Last night, during its prime-time broadcast, the host said something much harsher than he did.
If even the reductions I've made are fabricated, then what about the other person...?
"Isn't he the biggest rumor-monger in Green Forest City?!" President Zhou couldn't help but exclaim.
Editor-in-Chief Qian also felt a bit uneasy.
The news they used to broadcast was mostly true, with only one falsehood and slight exaggeration, which was normal and a moment of charm for media professionals, so almost no one doubted it.
But... this time, not a drop of water was added!
I even reduced the details a bit because I thought it was too exaggerated, and it's written to be 100% true... but this time it's still being criticized as fake!
No way, is there any justice in this world?!
"President, the main problem is that the truth of the news is only circulating in the interior of Midorimori City; other places are unaware of the case."
Editor-in-Chief Qian offered words of comfort:
"Plus that lawyer... well, it is indeed a bit of an exaggeration."
Let alone ordinary netizens, if Editor-in-Chief Qian hadn't known about this case, he would have angrily cursed the unscrupulous reporter upon seeing this news article.
"Should we... take the news down now?" Editor-in-Chief Qian asked.
Upon hearing this, President Zhou hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
To be honest, newspapers are all officially established and part of the system, so he is also a civil servant.
For internet news websites, page views are not considered a political achievement. Even if the daily page views are only a few dozen or a few hundred, as long as the message is correct, it's acceptable.
But then again...
Page views don't count as a political achievement, but good operations are a huge plus and a soft political achievement!
His news report was accurate, yet it garnered dozens of times more views than usual, becoming a viral hit on the provincial website and giving him a real chance to win an award—a significant achievement!
But it was all insults...
Just as President Zhou was hesitating.
In a daze.
There was a loud banging on the office door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"President, something's happened! Something's happened!"
Inside, the two executives were interrupted by the sound and quickly looked up at the main entrance.
"Go in," President Zhou said.
The next second, the door was pushed open from the outside in.
"Squeak~"
A woman in her thirties walked in, covered in sweat. Seeing her like this, President Zhou's heart skipped a beat.
"Director Zhao, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" President Zhou asked hurriedly.
The visitor was none other than Director Zhao of the newspaper's distribution department.
"Issuance volume, issuance volume..." Director Zhao gasped for breath, his words slurred.
"What happened to the circulation figures?"
President Zhou frowned, his mind racing with thoughts.
Their newspaper is considered to be of medium to large size, with a daily circulation of 10 copies for the morning edition.
Two days ago, after receiving the news, they held a meeting and made a bold decision.
Print 3 more copies!
That means that today alone, 13 copies of the morning paper were distributed!
This was a very bold decision, because newspapers are hard to sell; they're mostly ordered by companies and organizations. If no one orders, printing them is a pure loss, while the sales revenue is a political achievement—it was incredibly daring...
but......
"This is not a cancellation!"
Director Zhao was a little anxious and blurted out:
"Sold out! All 3 additional copies have sold out!"
"Now, retail vendors, newsstand owners, and bookstore managers are calling to order more!"
These words were spoken.
The two people in front of them suddenly looked surprised and exclaimed in surprise.
"Sold out!?"
Are you sure?
Editor-in-Chief Qian was somewhat incredulous. "That's 3 copies! You printed a third more than you owe!"
Traffic to newspapers is hard to come by, especially for morning papers. Every 1 views increases bring real benefits and can be added to a resume.
In fact, the previous figure of 10 copies issued was somewhat exaggerated.
Newspapers like police stations and courts might have subscriptions of 50,000, but in reality, only 10,000 or even a few thousand people might actually read them. In some cases, the newspapers can only survive on subsidies.
So, yesterday's decision to publish an additional 3 copies for retail was a really bold one!
"They're completely sold out!"
Director Zhao began, "The news broke last night, and this morning the public outcry was deafening; everyone's buying it everywhere!"
"Within an hour and a half of distribution, all 13 copies of the newspaper were sold out. Now the stall owners are rushing to place orders!"
"We need to print at least another 4 copies!"
They can print another 4 copies!?
President Zhou's eyes twitched, and he was startled.
In this way, 7 additional copies were printed in one day. His daily circulation of the morning paper was usually only 10 copies, so today it increased by two-thirds!
"No, at this hour, where would we find any stock to supply?"
Editor-in-Chief Qian was also a little anxious, and at the same time, he saw that the president was somewhat disappointed in him.
If we print an additional 4 copies, it'll probably be noon by the time we finish printing them. We won't have time then.
It's still the president's fault; he wasn't bold enough and was too conservative!
That's a whopping 4 copies of the newspaper! The chance to increase circulation by two-thirds was simply missed, and he was so anxious he wanted to slap the wall!
"Evening paper, there's still an evening paper!"
Director Zhao hurriedly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, President Zhou and Editor-in-Chief Qian came to their senses.
Yes, the evening paper is the main seller, it sells more than the morning paper!
only......
"How many copies should be printed?" Director Zhao asked.
The daily circulation of the evening paper used to be 16, but today...
After a long silence, President Zhou finally made a very bold decision, gritting his teeth.
"An additional 10 copies of the evening paper will be printed!"
If printing 3 more copies doesn't solve the problem, then... he refuses to believe that 10 copies can be consumed!
President Zhou was alarmed by his bold decision.
"Also, don't remove the provincial website's report... Our report is completely true, so why is it called fake news!"
......
......
at the same time.
7:40.
In Green Forest City, at various street stalls.
"Professional ethics... Yes, this is what professional ethics should be!"
"I dare what others dare not, I take the lead what others don't, I take on nine challenges what others dare not do... That's what a lawyer should do!"
"Boss, two more baskets of steamed buns, please. I'll eat them while I look at them at the stall today..."
"This defendant is really lucky."
"..."
At this moment, Sun Hao was walking on the street, and every few hundred meters he would hear such sounds.
Sun Hao's breathing gradually quickened, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead and on his palms.
He forced himself to walk down the road.
Ever since he figured out why Chen Wei hit him, Sun Hao has been pretending to be sick for the past two days.
He had no choice; he was afraid that Xu De would expose what he had done to him, and then he would definitely be in deep trouble!
I had thought that once the proposal was approved, even if the result wasn't satisfactory, I could come back unscathed, but...
He never expected that the other side would acquit him in this case!
Criminal cases, homicide, clear murder, innocence...
Sun Hao racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how these things were put together!
But what he could think of was...
"It's over, it's over..."
Sun Hao swallowed hard, his heart growing increasingly anxious as he got closer to the law firm.
He had already received news of Xu De's departure from the firm, and at this critical juncture, he was directly summoned back to the firm by Director Han...
It's obvious what's waiting for him!
After all, Director Han lost such a talented person for no reason... In fact, according to common sense, Director Han would have been grateful to Xu De for his mentorship, and the two would almost certainly be bound together in the future.
But after my own attempts...
Let alone strategic partners.
Xu De's magnanimity is evident in the fact that he doesn't hold grudges and didn't stab Director Han in the back!
With such a drastic change in circumstances, what will Director Han think, and what will he do...?
"Gurgle~"
Sun Hao stared blankly, swallowed hard, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the main entrance of the law firm.
He was trembling, feeling weak and even short of breath. The door, which he had opened countless times, now gave him a sense of oppression.
But what you can't avoid, you can't escape.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and pushed the door open.
"Squeak~"
The door opened.
Sun Hao walked into Jinmao Law Firm, and just as he stepped into the firm...
In a daze.
He sensed a shadow looming over him in the main hall.
Sun Hao steeled himself and looked up, only to see a dark mass of figures silently standing in the hall...
Civil Division Chief Jin He, Criminal Division Chief Zhang Youguo, Economic Division Chief Wang Cai, Deputy Director of the Law Firm Sha Jian, Invited Lawyer Zhao Jiaqi...
The firm's shareholders include top lawyers Wang Guowei, Cui Yong, and Tu Yan...
Surprisingly, several people who were usually rarely seen, the most core and highest-ranking members of the law firm, had gathered in the main hall of the law firm!
Suddenly!
Everyone turned their heads at once, their cold gazes carrying a chilling sense of oppression, layer upon layer, making the atmosphere suddenly heavy and suffocating.
Every gaze felt like a mountain pressing down on Sun Hao, making it hard for him to breathe.
in the crowd.
Director Han's face was grim as he stared intently at him.
"You're here?"
The next second, the other person threw what they were holding at the other person.
"Snapped!"
A notebook fell in front of him.
Sun Hao looked down and found that it was an account book... an account book containing the total amount of 3,700 yuan that Xu De had handled for three consultations and one case in the past three months!
Suppressing his anger, Director Han coldly stared at the other party and said:
"Please explain."
Suddenly.
Sun Hao's back was soaked with cold sweat, his face was deathly pale, and his hands and feet were ice cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
It's over...it's all over.
