Chapter 19 Public interviews suffer "courtesy"

On September 3, the headline on the fourth page of "Southern Metropolis Daily" reported on the whole process of my anonymous visit to the school with the title "Our Reporter Visits Huacai Vocational School".As soon as the report came out, it immediately attracted the attention of all walks of life, and many readers called or wrote to express their opinions.I decided to continue in-depth investigation of the school.Even though I know that when I left yesterday, the relevant people in the school and several security guards had already been extremely annoyed with me.But since this is only halfway through, I don't want to leave it halfway.The most important thing is that the hard-earned money of those students has not yet been obtained.As a reporter, I can't be satisfied with just publishing a few reports in newspapers, but should play a real role of supervision by public opinion, uncover the inside story thoroughly, and be able to prompt the relevant competent departments to investigate this matter, so that those students They get their hard-earned money and prevent the scam from repeating itself.

The next day, I decided to go to Huacai Vocational School again. Of course, this time I would not be "secret" like yesterday. This time I went as a public reporter.Although I had estimated the various dangers that might arise, the tricks the school used to deal with the reporters this time were indeed beyond my expectations. At about 10 in the morning, another colleague Wei Dong and I arrived at the gate of Huacai Vocational School.The security guard who pushed and twisted my arm yesterday couldn't believe his eyes when he saw me. His mouth was open and he didn't recover for a long time.He might not have imagined that I, an ignorant "student", would come to my door again at this time!Taking advantage of his stunned moment, I quickly cast a look at Wei Dong, and quickly passed him by.Just when he was yelling and trying to stop him, we rushed to the steps of the second floor three steps earlier.

Hearing the shouts of the security guard outside the gate, several nervous men rushed out from the office on the second floor, including Director Chen and a middle-aged man wearing glasses.But what surprised me was that when they saw the "enemy" coming in front of them, they glared angrily and didn't talk to each other.I saw that director Chen turned to the office nimbly, and then rushed towards us with a heavy machine with a flashing red light on his shoulders.He looks like the "82 recoilless gun" I practiced in the army.Due to the dim light in the corridor, I didn't see what it was for a while, so I mistakenly thought that the other party was using something like a fire extinguisher to deal with us.At first, Wei Dong and I were really taken aback, but after a closer look, we couldn't help but almost laughed out loud: it turns out that the other party is carrying a video camera!They originally wanted to take pictures of us as a "memory".This director Chen said nothing, and with a camera on his shoulder, he looked at the two of us with a serious expression and recorded video from different directions.Seeing him greet us with such a strange gesture, I immediately protested loudly.But the other party ignored it at all, and still forcibly videotaped us.At the same time, a tall and thin man also took out a camera and "clicked, clicked" to take pictures of reporters from different angles. I protested loudly to them: "We are reporters from Southern Metropolis Daily. , have the right to interview. Let me tell you, what you do is wrong..." But the other party ignored it at all, and the director Chen shouted angrily while recording the video: "Who doesn't know that you are reporters? What’s so great about being a reporter? Hmph, tabloid reporters! If you have misbehaved against our school, we will leave you behind and let the police station investigate you...Hmph!” Seeing the other party’s arrogance, I decided to use his own I yelled at Wei Dong angrily: "Hurry up, hurry up! It's legal for us to take pictures, but their behavior is illegal..." Before I finished my words, I once worked for Guangzhou. Wei Dong, a news officer in a certain department of the military region, quickly turned on the spotlight and snapped several shots one after another.Seeing that we were also taking pictures of them, the school officials refused to do it. Several people surrounded us, pushing and cursing, trying to snatch the camera from Wei Dong's hand.Seeing that we were about to suffer a big loss, I hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Why do you treat us journalists like this? If you don't stop, we will call the police!" Of course, my shouting did not deter them much, but I The voice immediately aroused the anger of many students.These young people, who had been feeling angry for a long time, saw the school's treatment of reporters in such a rough way, and rushed from upstairs and downstairs angrily, surrounded Director Chen and several security guards in the middle, they were angry Shouted: "You are not allowed to besiege reporters!" "You are not allowed to grab the camera!" "We are not going to school anymore, return our hard-earned money!" "We want to drop out of school!" "We want a refund!" Amidst the sounds of the crusade, more and more students surrounded us.Obviously, these responsible persons never dreamed that such a scene would appear.Seeing that the public anger was hard to commit, they panicked in fright and stopped quickly.I also rushed to greet everyone, although I was extremely disgusted and angry at the behavior of the school, but after all, I did not come to fight and make trouble, but just to understand the situation.Under my vigorous efforts to stop them, these indignant practitioners finally did not act aggressively, but they have been surrounding us all the time.

A turmoil that was on the verge of breaking out finally subsided. Wei Dong and I breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that these angry students finally retreated, several school leaders and security guards couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.After all, what they are most afraid of at this juncture is the students making trouble.Although they still have resentment, they no longer dare to use that kind of "etiquette" to treat us at this time.While muttering and yelling, they "invited" us into the room, but blocked the practitioners from the door. Director Chen and several leaders asked me in tired but eccentric tones: "What on earth do you do? Why do you always have trouble with our school?" The leaders of the school? How can a place that teaches and educates people treat us journalists in such a rough way? Didn’t you say that the quality of the teachers here is very good?” “Okay, let’s not argue about this issue for now Now, let me ask you again, are you that Shi Ye who wrote the article to mess with us?" I also pretended to be careless, and asked back: "Yes, I am Shi Ye, the political and legal reporter of "Southern Metropolis Daily". Didn't you just now Have you checked my credentials carefully?" "Okay, you have the guts! Consider your eloquence as reporters, I know I can't beat you! I want to ask you again, what are you doing? If you are interviewing, then the day before yesterday Why did you deceive us, why didn't you disclose your identity? Don't you know that your behavior is illegal?" I couldn't help being amused by his words, and said: "If you still have doubts about our identity, you can call now Nanfang Daily to ask? I can tell you that it is our freedom not to reveal our identities during the interview; if you think our behavior violated the law, I welcome your school to sue me in court at any time, but I also want to Let me ask you, wasn't your behavior towards us a little too much just now?" He was stunned by my question and was speechless for a long time.At this time, there was a knock on the door. Director Chen opened the door to look, and shouted impatiently: "You ignorant students, what do you want to do? Go, go, we are talking to the reporter..." said Come on, slam the door shut.

Chen angrily raised two copies of the latest Southern Metropolis Daily, and accused me: "Look, what are you writing about as a reporter? You are fabricating it out of thin air! You are deliberately ruining the good society of our school. Reputation, we will send you, a reporter who doesn’t know what to do, to the police station!” Facing his arrogance, I replied without showing any weakness: “Director Chen, I hope you calm down, if you think our report is wrong Where I offend, we can meet in court; if you really want to send me to the police station, please call the police now!" Seeing that I didn't follow him, the sweaty Director Chen was so angry that he stopped talking for a long time.When I asked Director Chen what aspects of Metropolis Daily's reports were fabricated out of thin air, Chen asked angrily: "You said in the newspaper that our school doesn't even have a computer. Is that true? Our school has several computers. , and it’s being placed in the classroom now!” At this time, a dozen or so students who had been waiting outside the door to report the situation to the reporter immediately shouted outside in unison: “Those computers were installed at 9 o’clock the night before yesterday. You only brought it back by car at 1:00, so don’t lie anymore!” “You guys did this on purpose after seeing the report, and you never had any computers before…” Chen You opened the door with a flushed face, He finally drove the students away by waving his hands in embarrassment, and then hurriedly turned around and said to me: "Tell you, our computers have been stored in the warehouse and will not be taken out for students to study until November..."

At this time, there was another rapid knock on the door. Chen and the two security guards opened the door angrily. Just as they were about to lose their temper, they turned out to be some parents of students from other places.One of them, Mr. Gan, said that he came here specifically to demand a refund from the school for his son.Director Chen refused to let them in at first, but seeing the other party's firm attitude, he had to say, "You parents have to distinguish right from wrong. Don't believe that report was written by others. Okay, we are in a meeting, come in later, If you have something to discuss..."But Mr. Gan slammed the door, insisted on a refund, and questioned Chen in front of everyone: "You advertised that if your teaching quality is found to be lower than similar electronic schools in the province, you will compensate students for all economic losses. The quality of your school is so poor that the Southern Metropolis Daily has exposed it, so what else can you say? Why haven’t you refunded your money yet?”

The red-faced Chen turned around angrily, gave me a vicious gouged look, and then asked, "Did you make a mistake? Why do you say that our quality is poor?" At this point, Chen hurriedly asked the school security to take out a large The stack of materials said: "These are the words of praise for the teachers and the quality of the teachers from previous students and current outstanding students. You can take a good look." He also said to reporters and several parents: "Refunds are not easy. .No refunds without justified reasons, only with legitimate reasons!" I hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, Director Chen, what is a legitimate reason? What is an improper reason?".

Chen Gan simply stiffened his neck and said: "Justifications are: students are enlisted in the army, sick, or transferred to work by the state. Those who are sick must have a doctor's certificate." The parents of the two students immediately responded to him and said: "The environment in your school is too polluted, the food is not good, and there is no electric fan in such a hot day. Our children have been sick here for a long time. We can take out the doctor now." Proof..." As they spoke, they took out their respective medical records from the bags they carried with them.Chen didn't dare to look directly, but just kept silent for a long time.According to the students' reports, a few days ago, a 57-year-old veteran student asked for a refund due to illness but failed, so he had to leave sadly.

Chen's so-called improper reasons are: students are not serious about their studies, their purpose is not clear, they are day and night, they are distracted, and they have no intention of learning.Li Xiaomin, a student from the 99th batch of Haifeng in Shanwei, asked him immediately: "Do you know why our students don't want to study? The conditions here are really bad! The food is unhygienic, and the living is like a prison cell! In this hot day, we fight one We charge 40 cents for a pot of boiling water, 10 cents for a glass of water, and the dormitory doesn’t even have a fan, and we are not allowed to pay for it ourselves. Can we study hard under such conditions?” But Director Chen didn’t listen, and said in front of him. In front of the two reporters, we asked the school security to drag Xiao Li out.

Chen said: "This is mainly because I am afraid that students will not adapt to group life and ask for a refund. The quality of teaching in our school is fine. We just won't refund!" After our proper negotiation, Director Chen and another person in charge of the school finally said: They will handle this matter as soon as possible.Of course, this Director Chen did not actually send us two reporters who "made up random reports" to the police station. information, because there are too many reporters in Guangzhou...
