Bang! There was a loud noise. Cole Allen, the editor-in-chief of the New York Post, slammed his hand on his desk and looked at the ashen-faced man standing in front of him with cold eyes. This man was once him
My most capable assistant is also the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the New York Post, but this time something like this happened...
"I want a reasonable explanation, Robert!" Allen squeezed out almost word by word through his teeth.
Every time he glanced at the headline of the "Daily News" that he had photographed on his desktop, the thick black headline "New York Post Editor Suspected of Using Prostitutes and Taking Drugs" stung his eyes.
As tabloids that use exaggeration, sensationalism, and gossip as their selling points, the New York Post and the Daily News are natural enemies, and they basically spare no effort to ridicule each other. As long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely use it against each other.
The most despicable language has devalued the other party as worthless. Even their owners, Rupert Murdoch and Mortimer Zuckerman, have been used to attack each other.
And now, the "Daily News" has published a large article about the "New York Post" editor-in-chief, ****, taking drugs. It is undoubtedly a slap in the face to them, and how can the editor-in-chief Allen get off the stage?
?!
"I was framed, Mr. Allen, I swear!" Robert Field looked at his boss with desperate eyes, "It was a trap. They deliberately found a prostitute to seduce me, and then deliberately colluded with good policemen to catch me!
"
"Framing? How much money do those people from the Daily News have to hire prostitutes and bribe the police?! If they wanted us to look good, why did they come to you instead of someone else!" Allen laughed angrily, with a sarcastic tone.
Ask without mercy.
"That must be the case, otherwise it can't explain why I had an accident last night and they reported it today." Field struggled desperately, "And... and that woman admitted that she was a prostitute as soon as she arrived at the police station. How can there be such a prostitute! Could it be?
Shouldn't you first deny it when encountering something like this? They must have colluded!"
"That's enough!" The editor-in-chief suppressed the anger that was about to explode, "That's it. From today on, you can rest at home!"
Field was stunned for a moment, and then his body began to tremble violently. He opened his eyes wide as if in disbelief, but after a few seconds he began to plead regardless of the image: "No, don't do this, Mr. Allen, please, don't do this, I..."
My wife has kicked me out and I am homeless, if...if...please, Mr. Allen, have mercy!"
"There are no conditions for negotiation, Robert. This is what Mr. Murdoch meant," Allen's tone turned cold, "You have to bear the responsibility for what you do!"
"How is this possible...how is it possible...I...I know many things...I know what we have done..." The desperate Field also lost his head and muttered.
Allen's eyes suddenly turned cold: "I want to remind you, Mr. Field, you'd better watch your mouth. If you talk nonsense, we will take action against the law."
Field's face turned pale, and he moved his lips as if he wanted to say something else, but he also knew that his untimely words just now had ruined all possibilities.
"...Yes, I understand." He said in despair, and then staggered out of the office.
Although looking at his desolate appearance, everyone would inevitably feel some sympathy, and Allen was no exception. However, the sympathy quickly became unrelenting. If this idiot had been more careful, this kind of thing would never have happened.
But... Allen frowned and held the "Daily News" on the table in front of him again. These guys were indeed very well-informed, unless someone was at the police station at the time, or it happened to be when Field was caught.
Passing by, otherwise it would be too coincidental. And the time is so accurate, as if I have been waiting for this news so that it can be published in the newspaper as soon as possible...
It's possible that it doesn't cost much to find a prostitute. As for the New York police, they have never been role models. Of course, compared to their predecessors decades ago, they now look better, are not so blatant, and their methods are not so blatant.
It's more hidden. As long as there are people who can connect the dots and are willing to spend money, it's okay to ask them to help.
But who would orchestrate such a thing? What's in it for him? And why was Field chosen?
After tapping his fingers on the table a few times, Allen picked up the phone and dialed: "Hey, John, it's me, Cole, Cole Allen... It's not good at all. Have you seen today's "Daily"
News? One of our editor-in-chief made a big mistake... Yeah, of course, you are a consultant to the NYPD, aren't you? So I thought maybe you knew or could help me ask, what exactly happened,
You know, it's not convenient for me to go there now...oh? Really?"
Allen looked surprised at first, and then became subtle: "Okay, I'm listening."
After a while, he put down the phone and pinched the bridge of his nose, as if he didn't know what expression to make because what he heard was a bit nonsense.
"I know what you want to ask, Cole, and my answer is, yes, there are people targeting you, but it's not the New York Post, it's Robert Fields, who thinks the editor has crossed the line, and
Several times. Of course, I think they may also be dissatisfied with the New York Post itself, but they said they did not want to conflict with the New York Post. They simply wanted Field to get out." This is what the other party said.
Then, he added: "I will tell you this, it is also their request. They are obviously very aware of our relationship, and it seems that they have done a detailed investigation."
That's pretty much it. In short, the report handled by Field angered someone, but the other person didn't want to have a direct conflict with the New York Post, so he spent some money and connections to get Field out of the way. This plan is quite good
Yes, as long as the information about his **** smoking marijuana is given to the "Daily News", the latter will naturally help them achieve their goal, but isn't it a little too inferior?
Allen sneered, saying that he didn't want to directly conflict with the New York Post. Didn't the New York Post lose face after revealing the news to the Daily News? Isn't this a gesture?
However, even if he was very dissatisfied, he could only sigh and let it go. It was very simple, since the other party could persuade John Laux - that is, the person who just called him, a psychology professor at New York University and a police officer in the New York Police Department.
Although the consultant is an honorary title, he has a good personal relationship with the director and is considered a well-known figure in Manhattan social circles.
In short, if the other party can persuade such a person to pass the message, it is obvious that he has not only bribed prostitutes and ordinary policemen, but must have made complete preparations. Maybe even the director knows about it. Allen heard that he was working for a welfare within the police station some time ago.
Worry about funds.
The other party obviously wants to completely destroy Field, and at the same time gave the New York Post a reminder that there will be a price to pay for going too far.
It seems that the "New York Post" should have offended the other party severely. In this case, it would be easy to narrow down the scope. Allen rubbed his chin and thought, and quickly found a suitable candidate, the one known as 80
The actor with the best acting skills and luck, Sean Tang.
You must know that not long ago, the "New York Post" was hyping up some scandals about him, and the words were very rude, and even speculated with the greatest malice. And even longer ago, they made news about him.
He never said anything nice, and he only tried his best to ridicule him. It seemed that Field took it as fun to ridicule him? In this case, it can also explain why he was framed.
What an idiot. Can't he analyze it more? Allen sighed in his heart. He clearly remembered that there were several articles about Sean Tang that were abandoned after being presented to him. Those folders
Even ordinary people would be angry after reading reports about guns and clubs, let alone a young star.
Of course, this is all secondary. The key is that this young star has risen very quickly. In just over three years, he has already been nominated for an Oscar, won a Grammy, has his own production company, and has won many awards.
He has cooperation with the producer, and his personal net worth is said to be hundreds of millions.
It’s no wonder that Field will be retaliated for provoking such a person. Of course, these are all speculations. Allen has no evidence. Even if John says who asked him to pass the message, he may not be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
.
Forget it, tell the boss about this guess and let him think about it. With this thought in mind, Allen began to deal with the matter in front of him. After being ridiculed so severely by the "Daily News", he still didn't know what to do.
How to fight back, damn Robert Fields!

While the New York Post was in turmoil over the attack by an old rival, Sean on the West Coast was laughing. This effect was exactly what he wanted: without exposing himself, but also giving the opponent a hard blow.
The lessons learned have not yet triggered a full-scale confrontation.
"I'm so happy, Sandy, thank you, and Neil, you did a great job, I love you." He praised Sanders on the phone.
Although it cost a lot of money, probably more than one million, and although the prostitutes were specially found from Las Vegas to facilitate erasure of traces, the cost was not too much, which was a donation to the New York Police Department.
It's a bit much, but as long as that guy is finished, it doesn't matter.
Especially after reading the information that Neil had helped collect in New York, that Robert Field consumed himself so unscrupulously, so don't blame him for being fussy, he will be punished.
This guy should be finished. Although this kind of thing is nothing in real life, at least the Puritan style on the surface of the United States must be maintained, so as long as the "Daily News" hypes up the topic, even if they and "
The New York Post has reached an agreement to let Field go, and Sean can still find other media outlets to continue the hype, so that he can at least get out of the New York Post completely.
As for his family... Sean can only say that it is a pity that some things have been doomed since he didn't know how to give up when things were good.
"Now you can perform with peace of mind?" Sanders did not dwell on this topic any more.
