Chapter 997 Must Investigate the Truth!
After Yu Dazhi and his wife sent Si Chen away politely, they educated their children together behind closed doors.
I sat in the middle of the three-person sofa with a serious look on my face.
The mother was sitting on the single sofa on the left, quickly thinking of countermeasures in her mind, how to appease her husband's emotions, and how to take care of her son's relatively fragile psychology.
His son Xiao Yu, who knew he had made a mistake, sat cautiously on the single sofa on the right and started the conversation first:
"Dad, today's matter has put you in a difficult situation. It's because I didn't think carefully. I'm sorry."
Yu Dazhi gave a faint hum, habitually put on his own style, and responded with a frown:
"If you could conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter, it wouldn't be such an embarrassing situation."
Xiao Yu was too scared to look at his father's face, but he was unconvinced in his heart.
He has grown up in such an environment since he was a child, and he still has some awareness of "privilege".
Although it is not comprehensive or in-depth, it does not prevent him from labeling Sichen's entire family "rich and powerful".
He even felt a little disdainful towards his father for joining this sub-force.
Therefore, he actually preconceivedly positioned Si Chen in a position of "privileged with money and background".
He even believed that Si Chen bribed the traffic police who handled the accident at the time, bribed people from the hospital, witnesses, and even the victims of the accident - Xu Ming's family.
Xiao Yu had a mentality of upholding justice and speaking out for the people, but he lost his sense of proportion at the beginning.
Little Yu’s mother saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly smoothed things over:
"Tsk~ Lao Yu, look at you, the child has apologized. Then he must have realized his mistake. Just don't say that!"
"Xiao Yu, since you admitted your mistake, you will definitely conduct a serious investigation and follow-up report, right?"
As she spoke, Little Yu's mother looked directly into her son's eyes, with some kind of soft compulsion in her eyes.
Xiao Yu had no choice but to nod, hum, and make a promise:
"I will definitely investigate the truth of the matter. This is my duty as a journalist."
This sentence is also very official. It seems to be a promise, but in fact it is nothing.
In fact, Xiao Yu is more inclined to believe that Si Chen came here tonight, which is a lie.
Xiao Yu felt that Si Chen used his father to suppress him, which showed that there was something wrong in his heart.
People with different opinions, different positions, and different interests will work hard to defend their vested interests and positions.
Xiao Yu believed that it was his report that affected Si Chen's supermarket, and that this was Si Chen's profit cake. That's why Si Chen was so impatient to visit overnight, trying to calm down the incident.
Looking at his son's appearance, Yu Dazhi felt vaguely uneasy and deliberately warned:
"Never forget your position as a journalist, you must report the facts and be impartial."
"Dad appreciates your sincerity and your attitude of speaking out for the masses. Dad supports you very much!"
"Remember what you said, we must investigate the truth of the matter!"
Xiao Yu quickly showed a grateful look: "Well, well, thank you dad for your understanding and support!"
…
After returning to the house, Yu Dazhi and his wife lay on the bed and whispered:
"Please pay more attention to Xiao Yu's recent movements. This son of ours is so rebellious!"
Little Yu's mother said in a low voice: "You shouldn't. The child has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes tonight. Didn't he promise that he would conduct a truthful investigation?"
Yu Dazhi snorted and said: "Not necessarily!"
Little Yu's mother was silent for a moment, and then said: "Old Yu, do you believe what Si Chen said tonight?"
Yu Dazhi rationally analyzed: "Trust me, for a company as big as his, there is no need to shoot itself in the foot on such a small matter."
Little Yu's mother pondered for a moment and then agreed: "Indeed, since the impact of the report has been so great, it must be better to settle the matter as early as possible. There is no reason to wait for the incident to ferment."
In the darkness, Yu Dazhi specifically warned: "Go and find out if there is anyone behind the scenes who is fueling the fire and taking advantage of Xiao Yu."
Little Yu Ma agreed.
Early the next morning, before Xiao Yu went out, she wrapped a hand-knitted scarf around her son and whispered:
"Son, you must keep in mind what I said to your father last night, Ang~"
"I got it, Mom, I'm leaving first, I'm going to be late for work!"
"Hey~ wait! Xiao Yu, mom still has to explain two things to you clearly."
"Then Sichen's family is indeed rich and powerful, and we are indeed on the same front as him."
"What I said to your father last night was not to ask you to ignore the facts and stand in line with Si Chen, but to ask you to seek truth from facts."
"Since he came to explain the situation in person, it proves that there must be twists and turns in the matter. You must investigate it carefully, Ang?"
"Oh, I got it, I got it, Mom, I'm really going to be late for work, let's go!"
Xiao Yu went out and went downstairs as if he was running away.
Little Yu's mother looked at her son's back and sighed.
The woman's sixth sense made her vaguely aware that her son was very resistant to their interference in this matter.
…
On Si Chen's side, the supermarket's business has indeed been affected.
In the era before the Internet, the authority of the news media was very strong. It was an important channel for ordinary people to obtain first-hand information about society.
Since the 1990s, many conscientious media and programs have emerged one after another.
There are also many media people who dare to tell the truth and work diligently to speak out for the people and monitor the dark side of this society.
However, it is undeniable that in order to attract attention, there are also good and bad phenomena.
The supermarket business is deserted, and the employees gather together in twos and threes to chat——
"Hey, you said, what was reported on TV is really like that?"
"I don't believe it!" Hu Xiuqin replied while working on the shelves:
"You still don't know what kind of person Zhao Yan is? He is usually an honest truck driver who delivers and unloads goods. He works hard and does not complain. He is not a cunning and vicious person!"
She reserved her words and did not mention that Zhao Cheng was her ex-husband and Zhao Yan was her former eldest brother-in-law.
If this layer of relationship is stripped away, her words will lose credibility.
Someone echoed, "Xiu Qin is right. Zhao Yan is such an honest and friendly person, and our boss is not a bad person either. He would not do such unscrupulous things."
Xiao Hualing snorted and said, "What about honest people? If you hit someone, you hit someone. So what is said on TV can be true?"
There were also people who echoed her views and talked about it a lot.
Hu Xiuqin quickly stood up and took control: "Hey, you can't say that. The Xu Ming mother mentioned on TV is so pitiful and pitiful. Xu Ming's father is a professor in the Mathematics Department of Longda University!"
This is hidden information, not reported on TV.
When everyone heard this, they felt less sorry for Xu Ming and started talking again:
"They already have money. Why do we, a bunch of hardworking workers, have such leisure time for them?"
"That's right, Professor, you don't have to worry about treating children."
"Besides, Xu Ming's mother is also officially employed by Longda University. Her money is no less than ours. She is still holding an iron rice bowl. She is not as pitiful as what is said on TV."
