After looking at these pictures, Guo Jiajia was stunned. What made her most angry was the photo of Zhang Tianxing pointing his finger at his mouth and shouting.
The photo captured Zhang Tianxing's facial expression perfectly, his anger evident.
"A master photographer," Guo Jiajia silently marveled.
She knew Zhang Tianxing wasn't that kind of person; if he did something, there must be a reason.
Guo Jiajia took out her phone, about to make a call, when Yan Ruyu spoke softly.
"Jiajia, there's no need to call. I just confirmed it myself. He admitted it. He was the one driving when he hit the person."
Yan Ruyu's voice was filled with disbelief. She had always thought Zhang Tianxing was a sunny young man with ideals, pursuits, ambitions, and drive. She never expected...
Guo Jiajia shook her head and said firmly, "It's impossible, Yu'er. You have to believe him. Although I haven't known Zhang Tianxing for very long, these past two months have been enough for me to understand a person. Zhang Tianxing is definitely not that kind of person."
Hearing Guo Jiajia's resolute tone, Yan Ruyu gave a wry smile. "Perhaps he has his reasons. He had better have a reason, otherwise, I'm done with him. I absolutely cannot tolerate a cold-blooded animal with no loyalty as my partner."
After speaking, Yan Ruyu looked up at the sky, her eyes vacant. Everything before her had been too much of a blow.
Since meeting Zhang Tianxing, he had never done anything out of line in front of her.
She didn't want to believe it was true, but Zhang Tianxing's direct admission on the phone had shattered all her illusions.
Guo Jiajia put her phone aside. "Good sister, don't be angry. At least you still have me. I won't leave you. I won't let you be alone."
Guo Jiajia wanted to see Zhang Tianxing immediately to understand what had happened.
Ever since she witnessed Zhang Tianxing's two investments, she had concluded that he always planned meticulously before acting.
No matter how outrageous his decisions seemed at the time, Zhang Tianxing would always have a detailed plan in place later.
In Guo Jiajia's opinion, calling Zhang Tianxing a thousand-year-old fox wouldn't be an exaggeration, though his ID card suggested he was too young.
Just a freshman, yet he possessed so many strategies.
To this day, Guo Jiajia hadn't seen anyone who could truly outwit Zhang Tianxing.
On the contrary, countless people, such as wealthy second-generation heirs and even seasoned businessmen, had suffered losses at his hands.
One cannot judge a person by their appearance, nor can one measure the sea with a single dipper. In Guo Jiajia's view, Zhang Tianxing was an extraordinary talent; no matter what field he entered, he would achieve great success.
...
At the Zhonghai News Agency, Xiao Rong'er almost smashed her desk upon seeing the report.
"Damn it, who took these photos? I need to find them and get to the bottom of this!"
Xiao Rong'er's sudden outburst startled her colleagues.
What was wrong with the beautiful Xiao Rong'er today? She wasn't this furious even during her period.
It was as if her beloved toy had been destroyed.
Seeing the strange looks from those around her, Xiao Rong'er was embarrassed. "Damn, I forgot I was in the office. But this is too outrageous, I couldn't help myself."
Others might say she was fine, but they were saying Zhang Tianxing was in the wrong.
Xiao Rong'er knew Zhang Tianxing best. What could these photos prove?
Chinese teacher: Where are the details?
Math teacher: Where is the process?
English teacher: Where is the pronunciation?
Music teacher: Where is the tone?
Geography teacher: Where is the location?
Art teacher: Where is the composition?
Physics teacher: Where is the experiment?
History teacher: Where is the record?
Practical teacher: Where is the experience?
Physical education teacher: Where is the strength?
Dance teacher: Where are the movements?
So many teachers would ask these questions; what could photos alone prove!
As a conscientious new-era media professional, Xiao Rong'er had her own methods of judgment. These were just photos; they proved nothing.
Seeing is not always believing. After so many years of ups and downs, Xiao Rong'er had seen too many such incidents.
Xiao Rong'er playfully stuck out her tongue apologetically at her colleagues and grabbed her belongings, rushing out.
Her voice echoed in the air, "Remember to request leave for me later. I have something urgent to attend to!"
Before she finished speaking, she had vanished.
"What's gotten into our great beauty Xiao? Why did she run off so suddenly!"
"Really, just leaving like that. This Xiao Rong'er is too free-spirited."
"If your writing could match hers, you could be that free too," the voice of Editor-in-Chief Dou Jie came from nearby.
She had seen Xiao Rong'er's hurried demeanor just now and felt a pang of curiosity about what had caused her to act this way.
Seeing the editor-in-chief approach, everyone took a deep breath and returned to their workstations.
"Do any of you know why Rong'er left?" Dou Jie's serious voice rang out. Everyone shook their heads in unison.
Seeing their expressions, Dou Jie felt a bit disheartened. "Alright, when Rong'er returns, have her come to my office to see me."
This subordinate was capable and attractive; her only flaw was her slightly temperamental nature.
But then again, capable people often had their temperaments. If ability and temper were proportional, then Dou Jie wasn't angry anymore.
Xiao Rong'er held her phone. After extensive searching, she had identified the photographer.
She simply hadn't expected anyone to be so shameless.
People would go to such lengths for fame and money, abandoning basic morality.
At the same time, Xiao Rong'er also learned the full story behind Zhang Tianxing's accident.
"I knew it, Zhang Tianxing isn't that kind of person. My judgment of people has always been accurate, and I saw Zhang Tianxing's potential from the start."
The situation was exactly as Xiao Rong'er had suspected. Zhang Tianxing wouldn't have hit someone for no reason. The old man turned out to be an expert in extortion.
He did nothing else but extort people. Everything in his home was not bought but acquired through blackmail.
He was notorious in the village. According to insiders, this old man had only suffered a loss once, and that was at Zhang Tianxing's hands.
He had now been arrested for blackmail and extortion.
However, Xiao Rong'er saw the online commentary escalating, with the instigators showing no signs of backing down.
Xiao Rong'er couldn't help but wonder, why was this small newspaper acting so unprofessionally? It was one thing to ride the coattails of a trend, but to keep pushing it?
Unable to bear it any longer, Xiao Rong'er found the address of the small newspaper and stormed in.
"Open up! I need to see your boss."
"Isn't this the famous beauty Xiao? What brings you here today? Our humble abode can't accommodate a distinguished guest like you," the gatekeeper said sarcastically.
One's reputation preceded them. Xiao Rong'er was making waves in the media industry, and this small newspaper was truly insignificant in her eyes.
"I'm telling you guys, you've gone too far. Delete all those false statements online immediately!" Xiao Rong'er stated her demands directly.
"You're using a few photos to cause trouble online, deliberately exploiting people's envy of the wealthy, creating sensationalism, and spreading rumors. This tactic is truly shameless."
