Chapter 740: This Is Not a Request, It's a Notification

Newspaper office building.

As the president of Yunhai Entertainment Report, Wang Changjun had always felt under great pressure.

Because they were just a small newspaper in Yunhai, with no background or funding.

Plus, there were too few employees, and the reporters of the newspaper were pitifully scarce.

So from a few years ago, Wang Changjun changed his strategy.

First, he directly cut all the field reporters, meaning they no longer needed reporters to go out and cover events on site.

Everyone would directly search for materials online or on forums.

After all, Yunhai Entertainment Report focused on entertainment, that is, so-called gossip.

As long as they could satisfy readers' curiosity and make them spend money to buy newspapers, it was enough.

As for the authenticity of the news content, who cares?

With this policy, Wang Changjun managed to keep the newspaper barely surviving, and has struggled on until now.

Persevere and strive harder, create new glories.

So the newspaper began to go even further, digging deep into all the gossip news of celebrities and stars, their marriages, love affairs, and rumors.

In short, whatever would attract attention is what they'd go for.

Of course, they weren't shooting blindly, writing whatever they wanted.

At least they needed some basis, otherwise, if they were sued in court, that would be trouble.

So Wang Changjun thought of a good method, which was to directly learn from Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment gossip media.

He had people specifically watch these few media outlets in Hong Kong and Taiwan. As soon as they published new insider gossip exposes, they would immediately copy it over, and write even more exaggerated headlines and more sensational content.

However, even so, Yunhai Entertainment Report could only barely survive.

No one expected that what would make the newspaper famous wasn't some celebrity, but a businessman.

In the office, Wang Changjun looked at the data in his hand, which was the sales data from this morning. As he looked, his mouth was about to split open with a grin.

Unexpectedly, Chen Fan was just a businessman, but this small news about a fight immediately became the headline.

Not only did it drive newspaper sales to surge, but since early morning, the office phone hadn't stopped ringing.

From time to time, peers would call, hoping to reprint their exclusive news.

Wang Changjun laughed, feeling smug.

Today's entire day of newspaper sales was almost equivalent to the amount of the past half year.

He picked up the phone and ordered: "Tell Liu Bing to come in."

Soon, a man with a middle parting hairstyle walked in.

This was Liu Bing, who had taken the photos of Chen Fan fighting last night.

"President, you called for me?"

"Haha, Liu Bing. Sit! Sit!"

Wang Changjun was very polite, directly getting up and walking around the desk to pour a cup of tea for him.

"Last night's news was photographed well, you truly live up to being the reporter I value, with professional sensitivity."

"Just because of this one piece of news, our newspaper is almost sold out today, I've already instructed the printing factory to expand printing for the third time."

Liu Bing's eyes lit up: "President, is it true?"

"Mm. Of course it's true."

"I didn't expect this Chen Fan to be so topical."

Liu Bing was proud: "President, you don't know, he's not just an ordinary businessman, he's the founder and helmsman of Ruofan Group, the largest group company in our Yunhai, and at the same time, the media speculates that his wealth is enough to make him the richest man in Yunhai."

"Even looking at the whole country, Chen Fan is undoubtedly in the first tier."

"Most importantly, he's only in his 20s. He's absolutely a business genius."

"Besides this, he's also an online singer, many popular songs online are written by him, each one is a hit when released. Absolutely a genius."

"He has many fans online."

Wang Changjun nodded with a smile.

"I see, it seems I'm out of touch, it's still you guys who keep up with the latest news and information."

"Old Liu, the more famous Chen Fan is, the better, because the more famous he is, the higher our newspaper sales will be."

"Next, I have an idea, I plan to have several editors of the newspaper specifically make up several news stories, preferably targeting Chen Fan's private life, for example, he's so young and so rich, why isn't he married?"

"It's impossible that he doesn't have any women around him, right? At least he must have several close female friends, right?"

Liu Bing's expression was a bit strange: "President, he has a girlfriend, the woman in the photo taken yesterday, that's his girlfriend?"

Wang Changjun smiled smugly: "So what? For someone of his status, do you think he would only have one woman?"

"Wouldn't he secretly keep several women?"

"Also, who exactly is this woman? What's her identity? How did she capture Chen Fan?"

"There are too many insider stories worth digging into here."

"Usually people online have seen too many reports about Chen Fan's assets, but there's very little about his private life."

"If we can be the first to report it, igniting the topic, then, will we still worry about our newspaper sales?"

Liu Bing smiled bitterly, "President, if it were other celebrities or something, we could write whatever we wrote."

"But Chen Fan is different, he's a businessman, and moreover, he's a very famous local businessman in our Yunhai."

"To say such a person has no connections or background, I don't believe it."

"If we dare to expose his private life... won't we anger him?"

Wang Changjun sneered.

"So what?"

"We are media people, the duty of media people is to report the truth of matters."

"Moreover, we're not writing nonsense, we can combine truth and fiction, right? As long as there's a bit of true information in the reported content, it's fine."

"As long as we capture photos of him eating with other women or being alone with them, we can write that the two are suspected of living together, suspected of having that kind of relationship."

"Even if he gets angry then, even if he wants to sue us, he can't sue."

"We can completely say it's reasonable speculation, how is speculation against the law?"

"This matter is settled. Old Liu, from now on you're responsible for specifically watching him."

Wang Changjun patted Liu Bing's shoulder, "Whether the newspaper can become popular this year depends on you."

Liu Bing's expression was bitter, not knowing how to speak.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang, Wang Changjun walked over to pick it up.

"Hello, this is Wang Changjun, president of Yunhai Entertainment Report."

"Hm? You say you're from where?"

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"President Wang, right? I'm Luo Wenjie, Vice Manager of Jinding Entertainment."

"Jinding Entertainment?" Wang Changjun was stunned, seeming not to have reacted.

"You're looking for me about something?"

"It's like this, your newspaper published an article about our boss today, the report is completely fabricated facts, nonsense."

"I advise you to quickly recall the newspaper. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself."

At this time, Liu Bing hurriedly came over and explained to Wang Changjun in a low voice.

"Jinding Entertainment is also an entertainment company under Ruofan Group, this company holds shares in more than half of the entertainment venues in Yunhai."

Hearing this, Wang Changjun laughed.

"So you're Mr. Chen's man."

"Sorry. The report has already been sent out, and it's impossible to recall the newspaper."

"Moreover, what we reported are all facts, so, we cannot meet your request."

Luo Wenjie on the other end of the phone smiled faintly.

"President Wang, I think you've misunderstood."

"This is not a request, but a notification to you."

"By noon today, if you can't recall all the newspapers, at that time, for any consequences that occur, I hope you can bear it."

Wang Changjun heard this and immediately became angry, puffing out his mustache and glaring.

"What do you mean? Threatening me?"

"I've been running this newspaper for so many years, and have never been afraid of threats."

"If you have the guts then come, I want to see, under the bright sun, how arrogant you can be."

Luo Wenjie on the other end of the phone asked with a smile: "Is this your answer?"

"That's right."

"Understood."

Bang!

Luo Wenjie hung up the phone.
