Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Something to Tell You

"Then what do you propose we do? It’s already been printed and distributed; what now?" Chief Zhou asked her with a sullen face.

"I know there’s nothing we can do about the print version, but we can still delete the one online. Also, we should publish an apology, definitely! I can write the letter of apology!" Her small frame stood tall.

Chief Zhou thought for a moment, "Let me think about it, you can go out for now."

"Chief Zhou, thank you. I sincerely hope you don’t take too long to consider. As you said, news has a time sensitivity, and the longer we delay, the bigger the public outcry will grow. Also, I apologize for the earlier offense." Tu Hengsha finally felt a bit relieved. Since he agreed to consider it, there was hope, right? "Then... I’ll head out now..."

Only after venting did she notice her back was soaked with sweat, and her morale sagged. She discreetly glanced at Chief Zhou, saw no further signs of anger, and quietly tiptoed out.

However, as soon as she stepped out, she saw Su Rongxing by the phone, making a call.

She walked over and happened to hear Su Rongxing asking, "Hello, I’m looking for a woman named Mei..."

Tu Hengsha’s anger flared up again, and she moved forward to snatch the phone, yanking out the cord.

"Tu Hengsha! You are being completely unreasonable!" Su Rongxing was about to erupt, but instinctively glanced at Hao Ren, and immediately showed a sign of timidity.

Tu Hengsha slammed the phone down and returned to her desk.

Hao Ren withdrew his glaring gaze from Su Rongxing and asked her in a low voice, "What did he say?"

"He said he’d consider it." Tu Hengsha sighed, "In the end, it’s still my fault. I have a bad habit of wanting to jot down everything I see and hear. If I’d known better, I wouldn’t have recorded those women’s issues on the computer."

"What does that have to do with you? Everyone should have their principles, shouldn’t they?" Hao Ren cast a disdainful glance towards Su Rongxing, "Some people you don’t need to be afraid of, the kind that bullies the weak and fears the strong!"

Tu Hengsha knew what he was implying, "Her? I’ve never been afraid." She just felt disappointed, losing herself for a moment while memories of last night’s flowing moonlit scenes and old mansion lanterns faded in color, recalling how she used to step on his shadow in the light of the red lantern.

Chief Zhou, as it turned out, didn’t take long to consider. The online news was indeed deleted, and as for the apology, he called Tu Hengsha again into the chief editor’s room.

"Xiao Tu, publishing an apology is impossible! But..." Chief Zhou paused, "Since Su Rongxing used your stuff without permission, make her apologize to you!"

"No need!" Tu Hengsha refused without hesitation.

"You..." Chief Zhou was left speechless by her straightforwardness.

"Then, let’s leave it at that, Director Zhou. I’ll head out now." She had already known publishing an apology was out of the question! She didn’t hold that hope! First, propose an unreasonable demand, and when the chief feels it can’t be met, retreat to a secondary demand more likely to be agreed upon! Having the online news deleted should count as a success, right? After all, the distribution range of the newspaper is limited, and its interactivity is not strong. No one can comment under a newspaper, and in a few days, this matter will subside. As for Su Rongxing’s apology, she really didn’t care! Firstly, Su Rongxing would never sincerely apologize! Such hypocritical formality is unnecessary! Secondly, an apology usually means forgiveness, and even if Su Rongxing would apologize, she would never forgive! So, it’s better to skip that step!

This drama finally concluded before midday, letting everyone in the newspaper office watch the spectacle, though she didn’t feel particularly glorious about it.

Before going to the cafeteria for lunch, she bought a bottle of alcohol and some topical medicine, and then went to the cafeteria to find Hao Ren.

Hao Ren was already eating and had gotten her a serving too. Seeing her come over, he waved eagerly.

She walked over to Hao Ren, opened the alcohol bottle cap, dipped a cotton swab in the alcohol, and told him not to move as she gently dabbed it on the cuts on his face, feeling very guilty, "It’s been a whole morning already, I wonder if it’s infected. I don’t know if applying medicine now will do any good."

Hao Ren was nonchalant, "What’s this little injury worth? You women love to make a fuss over nothing!"

"What’s wrong with women? Look down on women?" Tu Hengsha pressed the cotton swab a bit harder.

Hao Ren "hissed," exaggerating, "See, see! You just can’t offend women! That ancient saying was right!"

While they were joking, Hao Ren’s voice suddenly stopped, and his eyes fixed on the cafeteria door.

Tu Hengsha also looked back and saw Su Ronggui and Su Rongxing coming.

"What are you looking at? They are upper-class, out of our league to even look at." Tu Hengsha murmured softly.

Hao Ren sighed, "Every word is dripping with sarcasm."

Tu Hengsha, still applying medicine, didn’t like what she heard, "Who’s being sarcastic?"

"If you truly didn’t care, you wouldn’t even say a word! Why care what class they’re in? It has nothing to do with us!"

"Exactly, it has nothing to do with us! Now, hold still! If you end up bleeding, don’t blame me!" She didn’t look at the two anymore and continued to seriously apply medicine for Hao Ren, carefully removing the skin flakes from his blood marks, "How sharp are Su Rongxing’s nails! Like they were cut with a knife, doesn’t it hurt?"

"Yes, it hurts! Would you blow on it for me?" Hao Ren joked.

Tu Hengsha gave him a glare, "Are you a baby? There, it’s done!"

She packed away the medicine and alcohol, sat down to eat, and looked up to see the Su siblings sat not far away, the respectable teacher was looking her way.

She grunted softly and ate without acknowledging him.

On the way back after lunch, Tu Hengsha took the stairs as usual, with Hao Ren accompanying her.

"Little Sha, this condition of yours can’t be taken lightly, I checked! Don’t take on dangerous missions anymore, okay? There are several people in the photography department! Tell Chen Qi to take care of you." Hao Ren talked as they walked.

Tu Hengsha felt helpless, "Actually, it’s already mostly cured! It hasn’t acted up in years, this time it was because of the dust..."

Just as she said this, a figure appeared on the steps ahead, blocking their path.

It was Mr. Su with his arm in a sling! Tu Hengsha acted as if she didn’t see him, intending to squeeze past him, but someone grabbed her.

"Su Ronggui! What do you mean by this? If you want revenge, come at me! I’m the one who hit your sister, this has nothing to do with Little Sha!" Hao Ren immediately pulled Tu Hengsha towards his side.

Tu Hengsha signaled him to stay calm, pointing at Su Ronggui holding her arm and stated loudly, "Mr. Su, we have nothing in common! We are not the same kind of people, you walk your grand road, I’ll walk my single-plank bridge! We can’t reach your level! Excuse me!"

"I have something to say to you! Let him leave!" Su Ronggui grasped her hand and didn’t let go.

"But I don’t want to hear what you have to say! Please tell Su Rongxing instead! Comfort her well! Let go!"
