Chapter 369: Duan Lang Goes Straight the Television Station and Demands Accountability

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While the police officers took everyones statements in the Pear Garden, Master Pudu came down from the mountain. He signed the papers and brought Huai Sheng to the hospital to check if he was a match. Meanwhile, the police brought Huang Can to the police station as a witness to assist in further investigation.

Because the couple was suspected of abandoning their child and violating the law, they were detained. The sick childs elderly grandmother came to take care of him.

Huai Sheng took a look at the door. The boy was crying and complaining that the food his grandma had packed for him wasnt delicious. The soup, water, and vegetable juice splashed all over the bedsheets and blanket.

My good grandson, just have a bite. The old lady had a hunched back and was clearly unable to serve him.

Why isnt my mom back yet? Didnt she say that they can operate on me right away?

Dont we have to wait for the match results?

Why didnt she keep the umbilical cord blood back then? Otherwise, it wouldnt have taken so much effort.

This Who could predict that this illness would relapse?

Im going to call her.

He took out his phone, but no one answered. This made him flustered and exasperated. He had been pampered all year round, and coupled with his illness and anxiety, he rarely interacted with others. His temper wasnt good, so he almost smashed his phone without saying a word.

Huai Sheng looked at the door while holding Master Pudus hand. Lets go.

The matching check just ended, and he had a dull pain where the needle punctured him.

Okay. Master Pudu didnt say anything.

When the two came out of the hospital, the Fu familys car was waiting at the entrance. It picked them up and drove them straight to the old residence.

When Huai Sheng arrived at the old residence, Huang Can was also here. She had just taken a shower and changed her clothes. She was wearing the old clothes that Fu Wan had left behind in the past. Old Madam Fu couldnt bear to throw them away, so the style was a little old, but they fit her.

During the conversation, everyone found out that when Huang Can was in third grade, her younger brother had been diagnosed with leukemia. Since then, he had dropped out of school. Even though he had undergone a bone marrow transplant six years ago, the subsequent chemotherapy and medicine werent cheap either, and the family had long been unable to afford it.

This was why her parents had borrowed the help of the TV station to raise donations. But they didnt dare to tell the truth, so they could only keep lying.

Huang Cans grandmother was still alive, but she didnt meet the conditions for adoption. Old Madam Fus heart ached for her, and she only said that she could continue studying. The childs condition could only be decided after Huai Shengs match results were out.

On another side

After the group of reporters ran back to the TV station, they didnt know how to report the progress of the matter to their bosses.

How was the interview? Director Wan Haidong smiled at Ding Jingyi and the others.

Director, I want to talk to you alone about this Ding Jingyi walked over and spoke coquettishly. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell the meaning behind her words.

Okay, come to my office. The production director led her to his office. As soon as the door closed, the curtains were drawn.

How was the interview today? Why are all of you so dejected? Office colleagues gathered around. Didnt they say that Old Madam Fu brought that child to the Pear Garden? You didnt see him?

F*ck, weve really stirred up big trouble this time.

I f*cking told you long ago that the couples words were half-truths and that this thing couldnt be broadcasted. The director insisted on listening to Ding Jingyi.

Yu Manxi had the foresight and didnt rashly broadcast this news.

She was replaced because she was too opinionated. The director felt that there would be high viewership ratings, but she went against him and refused to broadcast it. So Ding Jingyi took the position. Who knows what the two of them are doing in the office now.

But this child-seeking program indeed has enough gimmicks, and the viewership ratings really exploded.

It looks fine now, but we will all suffer later!

How big of a mess can it be? She has her ways of coaxing the stations leaders. Even if the sky falls, someone will hold it up for her. Shell definitely be fine, a colleague who didnt know anything said with a slightly teasing tone.

HehI dont think even the gods can save her this time!

While several people were talking, the door of the program teams office was suddenly kicked open, and a middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked in.

Station Head. Everyone immediately stood up, not daring to breathe loudly.

Wheres your director? Station Head Zheng came with a hostile aura.

In the office. Someone pointed at the inner door.

Station Head Zheng strode in.

Station Head Everyone knew that something might be happening inside. Breaking in at this time, wasnt this

Station Head Zheng didnt care about this. He raised his leg and kicked the door, but the door was locked on the inside. After a loud bang, it didnt open.

F*ck, who the f*ck is this? Does he want to die? The director inside was about to carry his gun and go into battle. He was so frightened that his body trembled, and he immediately lost control. F*ck

Ding Jingyi hurriedly got down from the desk, picked up her clothes on the ground, and started putting them on in a flurry.

If theres nothing important, Ill kill you.

Wan Haidong! Station Head Zheng suddenly said.

Wan Haidongs face instantly paled in fright. He raised his leg and kicked Ding Jingyi, who was squatting on the floor and picking up her clothes. Stop messing around. Hide first.

Ding Jingyi was also scared out of her wits. She hugged her clothes and crawled under the desk, trembling.

He tidied his clothes slightly and immediately opened the door of his office. Usually, when the stations leaders came to inspect, they would definitely inform him in advance so that he could prepare, and they rarely came to his office.

Station Head, why are you here? Wan Haidong smiled ingratiatingly. He subconsciously tidied his clothes, feeling so guilty that his heart was pounding.

Station Head Zheng, who was in his fifties, narrowed his eyes and sneered. Wipe the lipstick off your neck.

Wan Haidong trembled in fear.

Stop hiding. Come out quickly.

Only then did Ding Jingyi crawl out from under the desk. Her clothes were disheveled, and the office door wasnt closed. All her colleagues saw her clearly.

Even though everyone was well aware of it, seeing it with their own eyes gave them a different feeling. Director Wan is old enough to be her father. So f*cking shameless.

Station Head, what exactly happened?

Station Head Zheng picked up a document at the side and shouted at Wan Haidong, You still dare to ask me what the f*ck happened?! The police report has already come out, and our TV stations phone lines are exploding with calls. Everyone says that we reported fake news! Scammed donations! Theyre asking us for money!

Your team is really capable. You even dared to scare Old Madam Fu. Third Master Fus lawyers letter was delivered to my desk.

You even barged into Sixth Masters territory to cause trouble. Who gave you the f*cking courage?

Earlier, just as Station Head Zheng had finished greeting Qian Jiang, Qian Jiang didnt even drink a cup of tea and only passed the lawyers letter to him. Soon after, Jing Hanchuans lawyer had come and said that the Pear Garden had been vandalized, and the performance had been terminated. He wanted to claim compensation.

The people of the Jing family had rushed over mightily, scaring him badly.

I was so f*cking scared that I had a heart attack, but you two are still fooling around here? Station Head Zheng was so angry that he was seeing stars.

Wan Haidong hadnt listened to Ding Jingyi talking about this, and his mind was blank. What should we do now?

What else can we do? When All Beings broadcasts tonight, we have to apologize publicly and clarify the truth.

Ill go prepare immediately. Wan Haidong wiped the hot sweat off his forehead.

The original program content had to be changed, and the program was broadcast live. All the staff in the program team immediately got busy, and Station Head Zheng personally oversaw it.

Station Head, take a look at the script. Wan Haidongs entire body was tense. After this episode ended, he would probably be doomed.

As soon as Station Head Zheng took the script, someone rushed in hurriedly. Station Head, something big happened.

What now? Station Head Zheng jumped up from his seat in anger.

Fu Chen and Jing Hanchuan had sent people over consecutively. He was already scared out of his wits. What else went wrong now?

Young Master Duan is here. The mans voice trembled. He went straight to your office, but he didnt see you, so hes already coming straight here. We couldnt stop him.

Why is this Young Master Duan here now? Station Head Zheng was angry that he didnt know what was going on. He threw the script away, hurriedly ran out, and almost collided with Duan Linbai.

Oh, Young Master Duan, welcome. Sorry for not going out to meet you.

Duan Linbai had rushed over from his company. He was dressed exquisitely in a black and white suit. Because of his classical music background, he had a clear and proud aura. His face was like peach blossoms in spring, clean and refreshing.

With his hands in his pockets, he looked more uninhibited, and his entire person appeared exceptionally confident and unrestrained.

Station Head Zheng, Ive finally found you. The corners of Duan Linbais lips curled up into a grin. He narrowed his eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly, exuding an indescribable evil aura.

You should have called in advance if you were coming. Station Head Zheng smiled obsequiously. This was a big client of their TV station. Every year, his advertisements and investments made up a large portion of the TV stations revenue, so he couldnt offend him. Whats the matter? Why did you come here personally?

Duan Linbai walked straight into the room and casually found a chair to sit on. He smiled. Im the one who named this show. I just wanted to come and watch it.

Now, all the trending topics on Weibo were regarding the fake news of All Beings. Duan Linbai would definitely be affected, so it was reasonable for him to rush over.

Young Master Duan, I will definitely give you an explanation.

What explanation? Duan Linbai narrowed his eyes and smiled. Im the main sponsor for this show. Do you know how much economic damage youve caused me by failing to do your jobs?!

Station Head Zheng was at a loss for words.

Most importantly, you slandered the Fu family in the show. Dont you know that I have a good relationship with Fu Chen? You used my money to slander my friend. Youre really capable!

Duan Linbai slapped the table, scaring everyone into silence.

Today was the most impressive day. You rushed to the Pear Garden to cause trouble. Not only did you scare Grandma Fu, but you even made a mess of Jing Hanchuans Pear Garden.

Who gave you the f*cking guts?!

Standing at the side, Ding Jingyi gritted her teeth. It was that couple who hid the facts. We just reported it according to the facts

Stop talking. Wan Haidong pulled her back. Why are you saying this at a time like this?

Sure enough, Duan Linbai exploded when he heard this.

You reported according to the facts? The facts you reported have now been proven to be false. Dont you know how to differentiate between whats true and false when you pursue news?!

When you earned enough from the gimmicks, you pushed the blame onto them. You interviewed and followed them for so long, yet you couldnt even tell if they were speaking the truth?

Are you stupid? Or were you dropped on your head? With your IQ, do you think you are worthy of being a reporter or a host?

Duan Linbais words were directed at Ding Jingyi, scolding her until her eyes turned red.

Young Master Duan, shes a newbie. Please calm down. Station Head Zheng glared at her fiercely. What is this blind thing doing?

Theres something else. Duan Linbai sneered. I invested in this program for Yu Manxi. Why is it that any random person can be the host now?

Ding Jingyis face became utterly pale, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Yu Manxi is taking the hosting exam for her certificate at the end of the month, and shes reviewing now. Shes been too busy recently, so we temporarily adjusted Jingyi over to take her place, Wan Haidong hurriedly explained.

The other colleagues snorted.

It was obvious that Yu Manxi was too stubborn and didnt accept any unspoken rules, so she was replaced. What temporary adjustment? It was just an excuse.

Is that so?! If the show doesnt have her, would my investment have any meaning? Because my mom likes her, I specially went to her. His tone was gentle and full of panache.

When Duan Linbai signed the contract with the TV station, he had said many times that his mother liked Yu Manxi a lot. But it was impossible for this kind of thing to be stated explicitly in the contract. They had thought that Duan Linbai was just being polite. Who knew that his investment was really for Yu Manxi?

Ill call her now and ask her to come over immediately. Station Head Zheng smiled bitterly and prepared to leave with his phone.

The external reason for changing the host was that Yu Manxi was preparing for her exam. But in fact, everyone knew the various rules.

Why are you going out? Call her in front of me. I want to make sure that she can come back. After all, she was someone Fu Sinian liked, and they would be on the same side in the future.

Duan Linbai wasnt stupid. Although they said that Yu Manxi was preparing for her exam, he knew the unspoken rules in the workplace.

Station Head Zheng had no choice but to turn speakerphone mode on and call Yu Manxi.

The call quickly connected.

Hello. Yu Manxi was currently doing questions at home.

Little Yu, how is your review coming along?

Its okay. Yu Manxi looked at the caller ID. Station Head Zheng, whats the matter?

Are you free to come to the station?

Didnt you say that if I cant get the certificate, I cant go back to work? Ive already handed my resignation letter to Director Wan.

Station Head Zheng was completely unaware of this matter. He glanced at Wan Haidong, who shrank his neck in fright.

Duan Linbai crossed his legs and smiled even more evilly at him. Hah

You cheated me out of money. And now, youre playing tricks on me.. Youre really capable.
