Chapter 1776 - Breaking News

“It hasn’t been a day yet, but there is more or less enough money for that woman’s kidney transplant. Manager, do you think we should announce on the program that there’s enough money now and people should stop donating?” Otherwise, not only would there be enough money for the operation, but that person who appeared on the news could also make a fortune based on the situation this time.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“That’s good too. Make a list of all the donors. We can’t put it on the news, but we can do so on the platforms. We will make the donation amounts public.” Once money was involved, the manager’s attitude became serious. Compared to the station’s reputation, he couldn’t bother with this small amount of money.

As long as the station was doing well, there would be plenty of bosses willing to give them money for a spot in future advertisements. As such, it was not worth it to smash their reputation over such a small amount of money.

“Don’t worry, manager. I’ve already settled this. We can upload this on our platforms anytime. A donor can find their name listed there. If there is any missing data, we will accept point-outs and corrections.”

“Okay, let’s do this then.”

“Manager, I have a situation to report to you.” At this moment, the technical staff who managed information on the platforms ran over hurriedly. “Manager, can I borrow your laptop for a while? I received a piece of information from the back end just now. I’m not sure if the news is true or not, but I feel that we should check it out.”

The technical staff quickly showed the manager the news he received from the platform. “Manager, take a look at this. Do you think this situation’s real? If yes, what should we do? Should we pretend that we don’t know about this or go check it out?”

“Hiss...” The manager widened his eyes. “The woman who contracted uremia and would rather die than let her children live in hardship is Director Chen’s ex-wife? Is this news reliable?”

The technical staff was dumbfounded. How would he know if it was reliable or not? He only received this reminder from someone else via the back end. Initially, he thought to just click open casually and take a quick glance. After all, after the news was broadcasted, there were a lot of false rumors. He had never treated them seriously before.

But this piece of news wasn’t trivial. He couldn’t make up his mind and could only go to the manager for ideas and give him a heads-up. “I’m not afraid that this is fake news. I’m afraid it’s true.”

The manager’s looks became serious. He knew that what the other party said was correct. It was fine if it was fake news. He had listened to a lot of fake news before. The problem was that if it was true, then the situation would be very different. Previously on TV, that woman surnamed Qiao had earned the tears of a lot of women with her words.

They were all mothers. A lot of viewers said that they understood Qiao Zijin’s mindset well. Wasn’t she just lacking money? Even if Qiao Zijin was already divorced, the children who followed the father couldn’t live without a mother. Once the ex-husband got married, would the stepmother treat the children well?

As long as the biological mother was around, even if something happened at the father’s place, the children could still return to their mother and lead a good life. Many hands made light work. Everyone could just donate a little. No matter what, they couldn’t let a good mother like Qiao Zijin die and increase the number of orphans in this world.

Qiao Zijin’s statement was actually very misleading to many members of the public.

After all, based on Qiao Zijin’s statement, the common belief was that her ex-husband’s family conditions were not very good. To her ex-husband’s family, the kidney transplant operation’s cost of more than two hundred thousand yuan was a huge burden. The children would spend a lot of money in the future. She wasn’t willing to occupy the children’s resources for her own illness.

At the very least, that was how the manager had interpreted Qiao Zijin’s words himself before finding out that she was Director Chen’s ex-wife.

The problem was that if Director Chen was Qiao Zijin’s ex-husband, then Qiao Zijin’s misleading statement would be completely non-existent. Director Chen didn’t have money? Who were they kidding?! The Chen family’s conditions were very good. He didn’t need to mention the specifics.

It was a breeze for Director Chen to fork out two hundred thousand yuan to take care of Qiao Zijin’s medical expenses if she was his ex-wife. A mere two hundred thousand yuan couldn’t do much damage to the Chen family’s finances. Director Chen could afford to bring up two children, let alone just one.

In short, two hundred thousand yuan wasn’t considered a huge sum of money to the Chen family.

“Also, manager, look at this. It mentioned that Qiao Zijin has a huge house of 154 square meters in this place. Do you think this is real?” The technical staff wanted to faint. He felt that this netizen revealed a lot of powerful information. “Manager, who do you think is the person who sent this news? I feel that they understand the Qiao family particularly well.”

A person who owned a 150-square-meter house couldn’t afford to pay her medical bills and could only wait for death in the hospital? Then, should a person like him, who didn’t have a house, just starve to death?

The manager laughed coldly. “This netizen could even list out the specifics of the address. Do you think this can be fake?” Based on their TV station’s capabilities, they could easily find out such specific information.

Previously, they didn’t know about Qiao Zijin’s situation and saw Ding Jiayi crying so pitifully and seeking help from the TV station. Coincidentally, he was worried that there wasn’t any good news in his hands. As such, he was unknowingly ‘tricked’. Furthermore, Qiao Zijin was Director Chen’s ex-wife. No wonder he didn’t find any abnormalities about the Qiao family when he first got someone to check on them.

Even if Qiao Zijin was already Director Chen’s ex-wife, would Director Chen let others check on his ex-wife so casually? There would be people hiding the information that didn’t obtain Director Chen’s consent. Furthermore, he never suspected that the people from the Qiao family were lying or that there was an inside story. After all, Qiao Zijin’s divorce certificate and the hospitalization evidence were all true.

As nothing was found after checking the Qiao family’s situation, he could only assume that everything was normal.

“What should we do now?”

“What else can we do? Let’s get someone to find out more about this house and see who the owner is. If what this netizen said is true, Qiao Zijin really doesn’t need anyone to donate money to her for her illness. She would have plenty of money in her hands. We create news not only for the development of the TV station but also to help others. However, if this person isn’t worthy of our help, we can make corrections in time and not walk straight into a dead end.”

“Okay, manager. What about this sum of money?” They originally intended to send over this sum of money to the Qiao family this afternoon so that Qiao Zijin could undergo the operation.
