"The Sun Newspaper will not bow to government pressure!"
"Damn it, Frank, you're as smelly and hard as a toilet stone!"
Torina said on behalf of Michaela: "You are still unwilling to give up after so much negative information is placed on your head!"
At this time, Michaela also understood Humphrey's methods. Since you, The Sun, want to expose my dirty stuff, then I will expose your Sunshine's dirty stuff.
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
No wonder the newspaper manager Frank was sweating and under great pressure, but where was his confidence to persist?
Before Michaela could figure it out, manager Frank said with trembling lips: "Han, Sir Humphrey, the information you took out seems to be from the old Silvermoon City government period, but now it is A new government led by Lord Regent Lor'themar Theron."
Oh, it turns out the confidence is here!
Michaela understood that Frank wanted to excuse himself by saying that he was eating and pooping (times have changed).
"Does it seem reasonable? In fact, it's not reasonable at all!"
Torina shook her head from side to side and explained:
"Although the New Silvermoon City government was indeed formed by the regent Lor'themar Theron (Aqiang), Aqiang's regent title was canonized by Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, so strictly speaking, today's The Silver Moon City government still belongs to the Sun Chaser dynasty, it’s just that the government’s ruling team has changed.”
Since the current government still belongs to the Sun Chaser dynasty, just publishing satirical jokes about the Sun Chaser royal family is enough to have the entire newspaper censored.
However, Humphrey did not take advantage of this to pursue Frank. On the contrary, the sophisticated old bureaucrat changed the subject:
"Oh, is that so? What about the hotel's private rooms?"
As soon as these words came out, Frank's left eyebrow jumped to the top of his forehead like a spring, then fell back to its original place, and then he pretended to be calm and said:
"What you are talking about is all work. Work requires everything. Everything can be explained. After all, our newspaper staff need entertainment and rest. This is reasonable."
"Oh, is it so?"
As if by magic, Humphrey pulled out a folder from his right hand and said while holding the file: "But according to our understanding, these staff members are holding wine glasses filled with fruit wine."
While talking, Humphrey took out a photo of everyone clinking glasses from the folder and handed it to Frank.
Torina's Tips: Azeroth has photography technology, but its principle is different from Earth's. Earth's photography belongs to optical and digital technology, while Azeroth's photography belongs to magic imaging.
In fact, it is normal for company employees to have dinner and drink together. When Michaela was a human in her previous life, she also participated in similar gatherings. However, Humphrey dared to use this kind of thing as an excuse. Obviously, gatherings are not that simple!
Sure enough, Humphrey's next words were: "The companions were their wives, and ladies of equal status."
While talking, Humphrey conjured up two more photos of beautiful women and handed them to Frank, and Michaela also caught a glimpse of the beautiful women in the photos...
"Wow!"
Torina immediately raised her hands to cover her eyes and shouted: "You can't look!"
No wonder Humphrey said: "They all look very similar."
(Nonsense, it’s all banged up, can it be different?)
"The trustees, directors and managers of your company, as well as their friends... Oh, look, this photo of yours is good."
Humphrey took out the last trump card, it was Frank holding a photo of his mother having sex and having sex, and handed it to the other party.
"ah!"
In an instant, Frank's mouth opened to the size of a basketball, and his left hand that took the photo was trembling.
If the black material Humphrey had previously produced was against the Sunshine newspaper, then the black material he produced now was against Frank, the newspaper manager, and other senior executives. It is conceivable that if these black materials are "accidentally" revealed, even if the "Sunshine" newspaper can continue to operate, they and others will definitely die.
Seeing that the other party kept saying "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh," and was in a confused stage, Humphrey took advantage of the situation and said: "Of course, it is possible for us to tolerate these contents, as long as the situation does not escalate further."
"The translation is, you shut up and I will shut up," Torina said.
Frank, whose clothes were soaked with cold sweat, said hesitantly: "Yes, but if you see my position, "Sunshine News" will not bow to government pressure."
After that, Frank pressed his photo on the table with the back side up to avoid further embarrassment...
Damn it, you’ve gotten to this point and you’re still so stubborn!
Both Michaela and Torina can't understand it. Isn't the pressure enough?
At this moment, Humphrey spoke: "Of course, Frank, we don't want you to bow your head, right, minister?"
"Huh? What?"
Michaela was stunned, turned to look at Humphrey, and asked in surprise: "Don't you want it?"
Anyone with a discerning eye can feel that Frank is on the verge of collapse. As long as a little more pressure is added, he will bow his head. Why did Humphrey suddenly hit the brakes at this critical moment?
"Of course not."
Humphrey started the show: "However, Frank, there are some factual errors in the content of your reporter Louise's report on the minister."
"Ah, factual error!"
Frank instantly showed an expression of realization and said: "Oh, that's different. Of course, "The Sun" will not bow to government pressure."
Humphrey immediately echoed: "Yes, the Sun will not bow to government pressure."
Frank followed up: "Reportable accuracy is critical to us as a news media."
Humphrey immediately cooperated: "You are right, there is some information in that report that may be out of date when it is published."
Frank was shocked on the spot: "Ah, outdated! This is a serious problem. Obviously, "The Sun" will not bow to government pressure."
Humphrey continued to cooperate: "Yes, The Sun will not bow to government pressure."
Frank then said: "But we must not publish outdated content."
Haha, so that’s it!
At this point, Michaela looked at Humphrey with the eyes of a master. Sure enough, "presenting facts" (telling negative information) and "reasoning" (threats) are indeed the best ways to persuade the other party.
Torina didn't forget to add: "Add 'give steps'."
By the way, there’s also “give steps”.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Humphrey turned to look at Michaela and asked: "Minister, do you have anything else to add?"
Originally, this content was a courtesy question, but when Humphrey reminded her, Michaela suddenly understood and immediately seized the opportunity and said to the newspaper manager Frank:
"By the way, during this time, I discovered an important problem."
"what is the problem."
Frank's whole body was shaken, and his eyes when looking at Michaela were full of evasion, as if Michaela had turned into a terrifying demon at this time.
"Of course Michaela is not a devil, he is a kind angel!" Torina rectified Michaela's name.
Just listen to Michaela say: "I discovered that your newspaper's gossip about me...well, I mean there is too much gossip in "The Sun"."
Frank said "Oh", and Humphrey also looked at Michaela, waiting for the latter's next words. After a brief pause, Michaela continued:
"Based on my humble understanding, media such as newspapers should be used as tools to guide public opinion and focus on reporting mainstream values. After all, the gossip about me in your newspaper is really, really..."
Just when Michaela was thinking of a reasonable word, manager Frank added: "Minister Michaela, I understand. As minister, you can represent the people, so your interests are also the interests of the people."
"Yes, that's right!"
Michaela immediately answered: "The gossip about me in your newspaper is against the interests of the people."
Humphrey on the side showed a meaningful smile and said: "It's a very creative reason."
Torina rolled her eyes and complained: "Michaela, it's against your interests!"
Obviously, it was impossible for anyone else present to hear Torina's complaints, especially since Frank immediately followed Mikayla's words and said:
"As journalists, we cannot publish gossip content just to attract attention. We must also take responsibility for the country's overall public opinion guidance and the promotion of mainstream values."
Frank also added at the end: "Obviously, "The Sun" will not bow to government pressure!"
At this time, Michaela and Humphrey also echoed: "Yes, "The Sun" will not bow to government pressure."
Frank smiled and talked eloquently: "But our newspaper does have the responsibility to guide public opinion and mainstream values."
Michaela and Humphrey continued to echo: "Yes, yes, you are right."
Frank also said: "So we will not publish reports that are against the interests of the people, and we will shoulder the responsibility of public opinion guidance and mainstream values, because we are the most responsible newspaper."
Michaela and Humphrey still echoed: "Exactly."
At this point, Frank suddenly looked serious, raised his head like a victor, and said in a sonorous and powerful tone:
"But I have to make one thing clear. There is no doubt about this issue. The Sun News will never bow to government pressure!"
Humphrey also nodded and said: "Of course!"
The next morning, when Michaela walked into the office and sat on the minister's throne, the private secretary Bernard handed over the "Sunshine" published this morning.
Michaela took it and took a look. Sure enough, there was no content about her living in a luxurious villa. Moreover, the Sunshine Newspaper changed its usual gossip style and the front page headline was:
"Warmly celebrate, the new Silvermoon City government has been established for three months! We will continue to unite around the government with Regent Lor'themar Theron as the core, work hard to build a new country, and work hard for the rise of the race!"
Damn it, looking at the familiar writing style coming from the store, Michaela sighed that it was indeed a proper mainstream value.
Of course, as Michaela continued to flip through the newspaper, she soon discovered that on the fifth page of "The Sun", the beautiful girl was still online...
"Good morning, Minister."
At this moment, Humphrey also walked into the office with a newspaper under his right arm.
Michaela immediately put down the "Sunshine News" in her hand, then stood up and walked towards Humphrey. Bernard on the side seemed to notice something and immediately retreated to the corner.
"What, what's the matter, minister?" Facing Mikayla who was only a few feet away, Humphrey felt a little guilty.
Michaela said in a dissatisfied tone: "Humphrey, I thought about it all night yesterday. Why do I always have the feeling that someone is framing me?"
"Well……"
Humphrey was stunned for a moment, and it was not until a few seconds later that he tentatively replied: "No, who dares to frame the minister?"
Michaela put her face in front of Humphrey and said sternly: "I feel like I was fooled."
Facing the anger of his superiors, Humphrey subconsciously took a step back and asked: "Why are you thinking so wildly? No one dares to frame the minister."
"have a bee in one's bonnet!"
Michaela continued to shout: "Humphrey, do you think she won't frame me?"
Humphrey: "She?"
Michaela: "Reporter Louise!"
Humphrey: "Oh, it's Louise!"
Michaela: "I just felt strange. Why did she suddenly appear next to me when I just arrived at the door of the villa? There must be a conspiracy here!"
A relieved Humphrey immediately agreed: "Yes, she is a villain full of conspiracy."
Michaela: "So we must be careful in everything from now on, and we can't leave any excuses for her."
Humphrey: "Yes, Minister."
