Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Chapter 296 A complete defeat

Editor-in-Chief Tang didn't say anything this time.

"Editor Lin, you keep saying you're not wrong, so let me ask you, what are the professional standards for media professionals?"

This time it was Qiao Luo's turn to question her.

Lin Mei scoffed, "Why should I answer you?"

Her face was full of disdain.

Qiao Luo: "You don't have to answer. Many of you here are colleagues in the media industry, and many are even our superiors and colleagues. I would like to ask you all, what are the professional principles of us media people?"

"I will answer: seek truth, be realistic, be objective and fair, without prejudice or favoritism."

At this moment, Fang Yan, who was standing in the corner, immediately came to the rescue.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo gave her a thumbs up.

“That’s right, our colleague Fang Yan is absolutely right. We media professionals must have these principles of seeking truth, being objective and fair, without prejudice or favoritism in order to be qualified media professionals. Of course, the two words ‘seeking’ are the most important. They not only mean pursuing, but also verifying.”

She paused for a moment before looking at Lin Mei beside her.

"So, Editor Lin, I'd like to ask you, when you discovered that my report was inaccurate and questionable, did you seek verification from either me or TL?"

Lin Mei remained silent.

Qiao Luo added, "You obviously didn't. At least not until today, before I went on stage to present the award, you didn't ask me a single question. I think TL Company must have done the same."

As Qiao Luo spoke, she looked at Lu Tingnian beside her.

Lu Tingnian nodded.

"That's right, our company has also not been asked to verify this by anyone."

"That's because we're afraid of alerting them."

Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Lin Mei couldn't help but retort.

Qiao Luo: "But what was your original intention?"

Qiao Luo countered with a question.

Lin Mei: "Of course, it's to eliminate fraudsters like you from this industry."

Qiao Luo: "Okay, even if I am a liar, shouldn't you at least make sure that even the police need evidence to arrest someone? You didn't investigate or collect evidence, nor did you ask anyone, so how can you be sure that your identification is correct?"

Lin Mei was taken aback by this question.

Yes, how did she become so certain that her accusation was correct?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look towards a certain spot below the stage.

Qiao Luo noticed her gaze, but there were many people in that direction, and several of them were people she knew. She couldn't get any information from them, so she simply continued to ask, "Actually, I know you don't need to answer. That so-called evidence must not have been verified by you personally."

Since even she, who had dealt with TL Company many times, couldn't obtain this information, Lin Mei naturally couldn't either.

Then there's only one possibility: someone must have deliberately provided it to her.

Lin Mei naturally understood the meaning behind Qiao Luo's words, but she would not point out that person.

After all, she has already suffered a complete defeat, and there is no reason for her to offend that person again.

So she said, "That's what I found out myself."

"Really? So you're admitting you've violated industry standards."

Qiao Luo countered with a question.

Lin Mei did not refute, which can be taken as tacit agreement.

Qiao Luo: "Now that you've admitted it, what do you want to say?"

Lin Mei: "What else is there to say? I admit my failure, but don't even think about making me apologize to you. I will never apologize to someone like you."

Lin Mei's attitude was very firm.
