The plan drives Sha Ruijin to perfectly redeem Qi Tongwei

Harvey also knew that Ben Wallace was a lunatic, so he said, "We must handle this matter with caution, maintaining the legal dignity of the Eagle Sauce while also considering the social impact."

"Immediately launch a comprehensive review of the past content of Eagle Sauce Weekly, immediately launch a comprehensive inspection of Eagle Sauce Weekly employee White, investigate other employees, find evidence of their crimes, and let the public know that we are acting in accordance with the law."

"Yes."

Half an hour later, the meeting ended, and many people from the Federal Publishing Office began to get busy.

The telephone rang one after another, and staff members were busy shuttling back and forth, creating a busy and tense scene.

Also busy are FBI employees.

Everyone is racing against time.

As public opinion fermented, the Federal Press Office and the FBI felt unprecedented pressure.

But they did not retreat, mainly because there was no way to retreat. There was a cliff behind them.

Against this background, Director Harvey asked Ben Wallace to meet with him, naturally hoping that Ben Wallace would change his tune and stop making irresponsible remarks about the General Information Administration's inspection of "Eagle Sauce Weekly".

Harvey was still very sincere and made a private appointment with this big shot in the American news industry.

Although the two sides are in different camps, they actually have common interests in some aspects.

Harvey believes Ben Wallace understands.

Harvey was sitting in a coffee shop not far from the Federal Press Office building, gently stroking an old journalism award certificate in his hand. It was an award Harvey received in the journalism industry. This was a brilliant achievement in Harvey's early career.

Harvey himself is also a journalist.

Soon Ben Wallace arrived.

Seeing Harvey, the two greeted each other. In fact, they were familiar with each other. It was just that their positions were different, or their stances were different. As a result, they didn't have much contact now.

If you have different political views, friends may become enemies.

The two nodded to each other, but Ben Wallace did not sit down immediately. War looked at Harvey for a while.

Harvey was speechless. This Wallace was really rude. He had no choice but to break the brief silence.

"Ben, I'm glad you took the time to come. I know we usually have different positions, but today I want us to discuss the facts and explore a solution that is beneficial to both sides."

Ben Wallace raised his lips in an imperceptible sneer. "Harvey, I was a little surprised when I received your invitation. After all, the Federal Press Office's treatment of Eagle Sauce Weekly was very special and shitty. I don't know how you had the nerve to come to me."

Harvey couldn't help but frown. This book by Wallace is shit and his mouth stinks.

But he still said, "Ben, you actually know why the Hua Er Street Daily encountered such a turmoil. This is a common risk for us Eagle Sauces. We can't fight among ourselves."

Ben Wallace looked at Harvey with disdain, but still sat down and said, "Okay, Harvey, tell me, how do you want to calm this storm? Is it the journalist's way or the politician's way?"

Harvey almost blurted out "Fuck you!" This Wallace always foolishly believed that the truth was the most important thing in this world. In fact, the truth often kills people.

The most important thing is to let everyone benefit and maximize the interests of the Eagle Sauce.

Harvey suppressed his great dissatisfaction and poured a cup of coffee for each of them. He handed one to Ben Wallace before speaking seriously.

"Ben, the Eagle Sauce is at a critical juncture. Any excessive public opinion turmoil is not conducive to stabilizing the overall situation. I believe that the original intention of Eagle Sauce Weekly was to reveal the truth, not to create chaos, but in fact it did create chaos. This gave Daxia the opportunity to deal with us."

Ben Wallace listened quietly without saying anything, allowing Harvey to continue.

"Ben, our Federal Press Office is investigating Eagle Sauce Weekly because it breaks the unspoken rules, which will cause all media outlets to be in danger. This is very dangerous. As a journalist, you should understand what this means."

At this point, Harvey looked at Ben Wallace, who seemed indifferent, and said, "Since this incident has attracted widespread attention, if we can find a way to protect justice and ensure social order, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Ben Wallace took a sip of coffee and said sarcastically, "Harvey, what you mean is that if you tell the truth, you will be suppressed, arrested, and your newspaper will be closed down. This kind of thing, let alone I support it, no normal person can support it."

"Ben, I can issue a statement to emphasize that this audit is a routine inspection of all media, not a deliberate suppression of Eagle Sauce Weekly. At the same time, we promise to strengthen support and supervision of all news organizations to ensure the principles of fairness and impartiality."

Harvey paused, observing Ben Wallace's reaction. "Of course, in exchange, I hope that any reporter from Eagle Sauce Weekly can come forward and say that he was bewitched."

This is an exchange. A red-blooded exchange.

This kind of exchange of interests exists everywhere, especially in democratic societies. On the contrary, in undemocratic societies, there is no need for exchange, and the pursuit of simple and crude possession is more straightforward.

Isn't this ironic? You have to think about it carefully.

Ben Wallace said nothing, seemingly weighing something.

After a while, Ben Wallace spoke.

"Harvey, the proposal you put forward is indeed thoughtful. But I must be clear that press freedom is the lifeline of our industry and there can be no compromise. If this statement can ensure this and the Federal Press Office can truly safeguard the rights of all media, I can consider persuading Eagle Sauce Weekly to suffer this loss in silence."

Harvey nodded. He was afraid that this madman Ben Wallace would not be willing to compromise.

"At the same time, give Eagle Sauce Weekly 10 million in advertising fees and give the reporter named White 1 million in compensation," Ben Wallace said again.

Harvey thought for a long time before he said, "Ben, I can't agree to your condition, but I can promise to raise it with the higher-ups."

Ben Wallace immediately showed a mocking expression, "Harvey, you can't make the decision, what's the point of looking for me, get someone who can make the decision."

Harvey almost bleeds.

But he suppressed his anger and continued to explain.

The negotiations entered the substantive stage, and as Harvey made concessions again, the atmosphere in the room gradually changed from tense to harmonious.

Finally, after three hours of discussion, the two reached a compromise.

There was a mixture of fatigue and a satisfied smile in Harvey's eyes.

"In this way, at least we have contributed to the stability of the country." Harvey said softly.

Ben Wallace nodded, stood up, and looked very disappointed. "Damn it, I have betrayed my journalistic ideals again. Harvey, you son of a bitch, don't look for me next time. When you look for me, nothing good will happen."

“……” Harvey.

With the Eagles Weekly admitting its mistake and acknowledging that its employee White had indeed committed defamation and apologizing to the Daily News, and the Federal Press Office stating that it will increase supervision of all federal news organizations, including social platforms.

The heat surrounding the "Hua Er Street Daily" incident quickly cooled down.

At this moment, the American people, especially netizens, were once again driven crazy by a person's suicide by jumping off a building.
