Even if they couldn’t afford thousands, a few hundred would do too!
Other than the ones who were the only child in the family, most keyboard warriors stopped the framing.
In fact, even without the analysis, most people sided with Qiao Nan after hearing the recording. After all, not everyone lived like parasites like Qiao Zijin. Most worked hard just like Qiao Nan to make a living for themselves.
No one would be willing to spend their hard-earned money on someone who drained them like a leech. It just didn’t work that way!
It was understood that the news of the minister abandoning her family was fake. It was Qiao Zijin, who was greedy and lazy, that tried to achieve her goals by making up a story!
Crap!
The minister was sabotaged by her sister, but she endured the distress to this day. Recalling the scene that Qiao Zijin had made in two weeks, everyone grew empathetic toward Qiao Nan.
Being a minister sounded like a glorious job, but it must be miserable to have a sister like this. Compared to Qiao Nan, being an ordinary citizen seemed better as there wouldn’t be such concerns.
Anyhow, the recording proved that Qiao Zijin was the one making things up, and not Qiao Nan.
People started to be wise after the fact, arguing that Qiao Nan wouldn’t have become the minister if she had such an indecent character. The country wouldn’t have allowed that to happen.
The taxpayers despised Qiao Nan for condemning her family after succeeding. Now that the cover was blown, they turned their hatred to Qiao Zijin, who could no longer run the show.
Qiao Nan’s recording was proved its validity, and Qiao Zijin became the one at fault. Earlier, some publishers had been posting aggressive articles against Qiao Nan without investigating the truth. That also resulted in a loss of Qiao Nan’s reputation and the honor of the governors.
Amongst the publishers, the authority picked the most active ones to issue relative punishments. The government always had ways to deal with such deceptive publications; they were just waiting for the evidence to declare the judgment. After all, they couldn’t shut a publisher down by their likings.
Once the relative authorities stepped in, there was no chance of escaping the law! Fake news was not something to be taken lightly, and not understanding that rule was an oversight that publishers couldn’t afford to make.
Those that once published similar articles were fearful after the authorities stepped in. They were afraid that they were on the blacklist and hid in their shell while waiting for their punishment to come.
Fortunately, the government wouldn’t eliminate every publisher. The core idea behind the clearance was to limit the strength of the media, for the power of such unlawful individuals were getting out of hand.
It also served as a reminder to the media corporations that they should be mindful of what they published. Even if Qiao Nan’s scandal was true, only the national media platforms should have the right to post about her after the higher-ups made relevant conclusions.
Once the government officials took action, Qiao Zijin lost her cool. There had been no retaliation for so long, so Qiao Zijin thought that a minister like Qiao Nan couldn’t win against her. She figured that even an ordinary citizen could easily rip a governor apart.
Half a month had passed, and Qiao Zijin had forgotten her doubts as she gained great confidence in her victory. However, at that moment, Qiao Zijin lost it. It turned out that the country did care about Qiao Nan.
What scared her more was the recording.
Qiao Zijin was anxious and infuriated, and her face turned pale. “No, I’m done! Recording? How can there be a recording? I have never seen it! When did Qiao Nan record it?”
If she knew that Qiao Nan treacherously recorded the conversation, she would... she would have destroyed the evidence. It was no wonder that Qiao Nan didn’t contact her at all. She had a trump card in her hand all this while!
What should she do?
Qiao Zijin wanted to call Peng Yu, but she had no idea who her helper was or where he stayed. Peng Yu was always the one who contacted Qiao Zijin, and Qiao Zijin could never find him when she needed anything.
If Qiao Zijin dialed the number that called her, it would be a suspended SIM card. The man would only use the number once.
Qiao Zijin did find it strange in the beginning, but she thought that it was just a habit of rich people. The man looked for her and helped her out of nowhere. He organized events that followed, and all she had to do was speak in front of the cameras.
