Chapter 1547: Desperate

Naturally, Pablo didn't care about this woman who met each other. He ran out of the express hotel in a desperate state, and his mind was full of the angry roar of the editor just now.
It's quite far from the headquarters of the Daily Sports Daily. Pablo finally managed to stop a night taxi and hurry to the newspaper office.
On the way, Pablo grew more and more worried, and couldn't help but make a phone call to an editor he knew-this editor named Higgins happened to be on duty tonight, and this point should still be in the newspaper, and certainly No rest.
No one answered the call at the beginning, and it took a while before Hilkins returned him.
Pablo quickly heard the sound and asked, "Hilkins, what the is going on? Why is the editor so angry?"
Hilkins was silent for a moment before whispering with a touch of sympathy: "Pablo, you should hurry up and report back to the society! It's a big trouble ..."
"I'm already on my way to the newspaper!" Pablo said, "You tell me what happened!"
Hilkins said vaguely: "Open the Facebook and take a look and you will know ... I can't tell you more, now the editorial department has messed up! I just ran out and called you. I have to go right away ... you don't want to hit me again! "
After that, Hilkins hung up the phone. If it wasn't for the personal relationship between the two, it ’s not bad, Hilkins might have just pulled Pablo's mobile phone number black. At this time, Pablo has become a target of public criticism, and his reputation will soon be stinking on the street. Get involved!
Pablo listened to the busy voice coming from his mobile phone and couldn't help cursing a few words in a low voice.
But anyway, Hilkins gave him some tips. He quickly opened Facebook on his mobile phone. It was no surprise that the background message reminder had become 99+. These days, Chinese netizens went to his Facebook to irrigate. He is used to it.
Pablo did not have the heart to check the news, and directly opened his latest post, that is, the video of interviewing the so-called Barcelona annual fee member Meyers, and went in and was dumbfounded.
Originally, there were not many Chinese netizens leaving messages in this video. Most of them were cheered by Barcelona fans. Now they are captured by Chinese netizens again.
But Pablo is still a little puzzled-this is not the first time a Chinese netizen went to his Facebook to smash the pages. Can the newspaper editor be so angry? During the two previous Chinese expeditions on Facebook, although he was badly scolded, his reputation has also greatly improved, and even the topicality of the Daily Sports News has been greatly enhanced. He also received a prize of 1,000 euros. Too! Why did you suddenly change your attitude today?
Pablo has read a few comments-the comments of Chinese users are copied from the post, and there are only a few versions in total.
At first Pablo didn't feel anything, but when he saw a comment that had just been refreshed, his face suddenly turned blue—this comment took a picture, which was in the video taken by Song Wei Screenshot, and it is a very representative screenshot. The scoreboard has the game time, the scores of both sides, the sprinkler head has been turned on, the Spaniards are dodging, and there are sporadic Barcelona fans in the stands opposite In the exit, it can be said that it perfectly reflects the whole thing.
The text of the review is very simple, with only a few words: Pablo, does your face hurt?
In fact, what is left here is the advance team of Huaxia netizens. Many netizens who just came to work have not had time to enter the battlefield, but the number of messages is already considerable.
Pablo was faintly guessing what had happened, his fingers were shaking, he found several other Spanish sports media in his watch list, and clicked in.
He did not find the account of his daily Sports Daily, because he knew that at this time, the Daily Sports Daily would definitely not have any reports and responses.
Sure enough, Pablo found a pinned post on the Facebook page of the "Marca" newspaper, and the title was very eye-catching-"Pablo! The shame of the press! 》
Seeing the title, Pablo almost hurried back.
He took a deep breath and opened the post. After watching it from beginning to end, especially after carefully watching the video, Pablo had no luck at all.
His face became pale, and the whole man was paralyzed in the back seat of the taxi, his eyes empty and blank.
The taxi driver driving in front glanced at Pablo through the rearview mirror of the car, because his appearance was a bit scary. The drivers doubted whether this guy had taken drugs, and he said, do n’t die in my car. on……
Fortunately, although Pablo looks like he is going to die, at least he is still panting. The taxi driver keeps watching Pablo's condition for a few seconds, and finally drives the car to the door of the newspaper.
"Hey! Buddy! You're here!" The taxi driver saw Pablo sitting motionless and could not help but remind him.
Pablo's eyes moved, he glanced hard at the newspaper building next to him, and moved away from the car.
"Fare!" The taxi driver reminded.
Pablo took the wallet out of his pocket with a dull expression, pulled out a hundred-euro bill, and threw it out of the window on the side of the co-pilot without looking, then turned and left.
"I still want your money!" The taxi driver called.
Pablo turned a deaf ear to the newspaper building.
The taxi driver shouted a few times, and saw that Pablo was ignoring him at all, so he stopped. He reached for the banknote from the co-pilot seat, flicked it with his fingers, and said in the direction of Pablo. "Thank you!"
After that, he kicked off the accelerator.
When Pablo entered the newspaper building, his mind was blank, and he didn't even know how he took the elevator to the floor where the editorial office was located.
As soon as I walked into the large office, several of my colleagues who were on duty and those who were temporarily called back to discuss the crisis all looked up in unison, among them was Higgins on duty tonight.
They looked at Pablo's eyes more complexly, some with some pity, and those who didn't have a good relationship usually showed a hint of glee.
Hilkins and Pablo's personal relationship was very good. He hesitated again and again, and whispered, reminding him: "Pablo, the editor is waiting for you in the office ... you ... be careful, he is angry now!"
Pablo casts a lifeless look on Hilkins, then nods his eyes dullly, turns his head and walks towards the editor's office opposite the big office.
Pablo knocked on the door of the editor's office, and there was a bad voice in it: "Who?"
"Editor, it's me ..." Pablo said.
After a few seconds, the door of the editor-in-chief's office was yanked open, exposing the bald head of editor-in-chief Visco. The curse echoed in the office area.
"Pablo! You stupid pig!" Visco scolded, "Why did you mess everything up! Understand? Do you have a bit of a brain? The other party obviously dug a pit, etc. Let me jump in! You stupid complacent! "
Pablo has been a little numb to the editor-in-chief of Wells' storm. At this moment, his mind is basically in a state of failure, and he can't even say a word of explanation.
After Wells scolded for a moment, his mouth was a little dry, and he gave Pablo a serious look, and said, "Come in for me!"
Pablo followed Wells into the office mechanically, and then sat on the sofa with his buttocks, ashamed.
Wells raised an eyebrow, and almost couldn't help cursing it-if an employee usually came to his office so unruly, he would surely kick the employee out mercilessly.
But now Wells felt that he was a bit weak. He returned to his desk and sat down, staring sharply at Pablo, asking, "Did you not tell me yesterday that you found a strong witness? Now you say Say, what happened to that Meyers? "
If there was no video released by Xia Ruofei at night, this video of Pablo's interview with Meyers would be very convincing. After all, Meyers told the story of the incident from the perspective of a live witness. And "Daily Sports News" also quickly reposted for Pablo.
Although the credibility of the "Daily Sports News" is also at the toilet level, several major football newspapers in Spain have a clear tendency. In short, they are standing in the two camps of Barcelona and Real Madrid, so the tendency is naturally obvious when reporting. This is not a big deal.
Anyway, this is a traditional media with a long history. They have a certain tendency, but they still have basic credibility.
So most people choose to believe this interview video, and at the same time have some doubts about Ruby's remarks at the press conference.
Now Xia Ruofei's video taken by Song Wei has clearly recorded everything that happened at the time, indicating that Ruby did not lie. The Camp Nou was indeed when the Spaniards had not left the stadium. The water spray system was turned on. And it's not what they said. The Spaniards celebrated unbridled away and refused to stand. Even the Barcelona fans in the stands are still leaving. How can these Barcelona fans be interested in watching the Spanish celebrate? So the time for the water spray system to open should not be too long before the end of the game.
Now that Ruby is not lying, this interview video by Meyers is problematic.
And it ’s not a general problem. To put it bluntly, this is a complete piece of fake news. The words of Meyers in the video have provided Barcelona fans with the most powerful artillery shells, but now they have become the most ironic. Hammer is evidence that cannot be erased.
In the scorching eyes of Wells, Pablo lowered his head involuntarily, and he yelled, "Meyes is indeed Barcelona's annual ticket member, and he is a ..."
"Who asked you this?" Wells interrupted Pablo rudely, "I asked what happened to this interview video? Why did Meyers talk nonsense in front of the camera? Eight? "
Pablo shuddered slightly and said, "I ... I gave him ... Give him 300 euros, let him be interviewed as I designed ..."
Wells was so angry that he couldn't wait to pull out a gun and give Pablo directly to Tutu.
Pablo's saucy operation directly dragged the Daily Sports News down the sewage pit, and even if he got rid of it, he would inevitably be muddy.
Pablo explained quickly: "Editor-in-chief, Meyers is really a Barcelona fan. I found him hoping that he could cooperate with such an interview. He was very happy to accept it, and said that even if I don't give money, he He will accept, as long as he can maintain Barcelona's reputation, he is willing to do anything! "
Wells stared coldly at Pablo and asked, "So what? Now the scandal has broken out. How can these you say help you?"
There was a flash of light in Pablo's mind, as if he had caught a life-saving straw, he said quickly: "Editor, we ... we can say that Meyers deceived us! He is a loyal fan of Barcelona, In order to maintain the image of Barcelona, ​​he took the initiative to come out for an interview and compiled false facts. We just didn't find him lying for the first time, so we broadcast the interview video ... "
Pablo grew smoother and smoother, and he said with some excitement: "Mr. Wells, although we have made mistakes, this is not a flaw in journalistic ethics. At best, it is a mistake in journalism. We have not performed careful verification of news materials. obligation……"
Wells's face was cloudy, and he was actually very contradictory.
In the turmoil of public opinion these days, because of consideration of its own position, the Daily Sports Daily has been supporting Pablo. To be honest, Wells did not doubt the authenticity of Pablo's posts, but he did not think that Pablo was so bold that he directly fabricated fake news.
Now, the Daily Sports News has been a little hard to ride. In a sense, Pablo and the Daily Sports are one and the same. If you say that Pablo spends money to make fake news, and No one believes the newspaper oversight.
Therefore, if the "Daily Sports News" wants to protect itself, it must be Pablo's insurance. Although Wells can't wait for Pablo to make a lot of efforts, he also has to consider from the perspective of the newspaper.
In this way, Pablo's proposal just really made Wells a little bit excited.
Pablo also came alive at this time, and his heart was full of hope for life, because he knew very well that once he sat down, he spent money to pay for fake news, not just in the "Daily Sports" rice bowl. The problem of no guarantee. With such a stain, even if his career is over, it is equal to bankruptcy. Which media dare to hire him?
Only now is it possible to hold on to the "Daily Sports" and make Wells realize that his Pablo and the Daily Sports are grasshoppers on a rope.
Wells had a somber face, and only a moment later he said, "Pablo, the newspaper was unaware of it! Even if you explain as you say, you can't escape responsibility! The first person responsible for this matter is you! Is it? Do you still expect to continue in the newspaper? "
In fact, Wells weighed it. Instead of treating it according to the newspaper's unawareness that Pablo had hired people to make fake news, in contrast, it was better to deal with Pablo's lying to Meyers without knowing it. The influence of the newspaper will be smaller, so in fact, Pablo's proposal has actually been approved.
But Wells really hated Pablo, how could he dispel the hatred of his heart without firing him?
Pablo looked pale and said, "Mr. Wells, I have been working in a newspaper for so many years, and I can still count on my work! This time, I also started from the newspaper's standpoint. Making that news video was just me confused, now you In a word, I'm going to lose my job. Maybe ... "
Wells snorted: "Pablo, you have such a big omission, it would be nice if the newspaper didn't hold you accountable! What else do you want?"
Wells then turned cold and said, "Do you think about it, whether to resign gracefully or let the newspaper fire you! If you voluntarily resign, we will not mention when you make a statement to pay someone to make fake news. Things, so that you still have a chance to find a job in other media. If the newspaper is fired, we would rather lose the reputation of the newspaper and reveal the truth. By then, you will really hit the job! "
Pablo could not help but tremble when he heard the words. He knew that Wells now had the initiative.
If you don't accept it, once the "Daily Sports News" and his face turn, it will be a situation where the chicken is flying.
Wells stared at Pablo's eyes and asked, "Pablo, time is running out. Now the Daily Sports News is under tremendous pressure from public opinion every second. We can't keep silent! You choose! Either we pass on the responsibility to Meyers just now, and you resign because of serious omissions in your work; or we will tell you the truth and tell the public that you are hiding the newspaper's own claims and spending money on fake news , You have to get out of the newspaper, and your career will end! I advise you to choose the first option, which is good for everyone! "
After some struggle, Pablo finally said, frustrated, "Well ... I choose the first option ..."
He did not mention things like compensation for departure. Since it was his voluntary resignation, and he also sacked such a large basket for the newspaper, the newspaper was already merciful without accountability, and he still hopes to compensate him? Dream it! As long as the newspaper office does not let the matter go out during background checks when he applies for other media in the future, it is already burning incense.
Of course, the "Daily Sports News" will most likely not break through the matter when it is backsliding, because it is not in their interest.
Wells nodded and said, "Very good! I hope to see your resignation letter in ten minutes! Go!"
