Their boss, Lenny, did not respond to Chase''s words as usual. Instead, he nced at him before shifting his gaze to someone else.


    "I don''t know if everyone here still remembers the oath we took when we first became reporters. Do you still remember what our primary responsibility is?"


    ''I remember,'' Rita quietly answered in her mind. ''Respect for truth and the public''s right to know the truth are a reporter''s primary responsibilities.''


    Everything she did was to fulfill the oath she had made at the beginning. However, while the oath was simple, putting it into practice was incredibly difficult, especially when walking the path of a true reporter which was fraught with many challenges and obstacles.


    "I believe everyone here hasn''t forgotten our primary responsibility. However, as time goes by and years pass, it seems that some people have forgotten why they embarked on this journey in the first ce." Lenny mmed the newspaper on the table heavily. Silence filled the conference room, and no one dared to speak. Although they did not know what was happening or why Lenny was so angry, they could sense the heavy atmosphere.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    "It''s normal for there to be some discord among colleagues, and I''ve never intervened excessively. I''ve always told neers to respect their seniors, and I''ve told you seniors to take more care of the neers because that''ll only benefit you in the long run. However, a certain someone has been abusing their power as a senior reporter and recklessly bullying the neer. Is this what I''ve taught you?"


    Chase''s heart skipped a beat. He did not know why Lenny suddenly brought this up. However, among the people present, he was the one who bullied the neers the most.


    Rita was puzzled. Who was Lenny going to criticize? Considering the atmosphere, it probably was not her.


    Lenny continued, "Chase, do you think what I just said is correct?"


    ???


    Chase broke out into a cold sweat. "Of course you''re right, sir. It''s just that some neerspletely disregard their ce and often argue with their seniors... I think in such situations, we should assert our seniority to put them in their ce. Otherwise, they''ll just be too arrogant in the future."


    "It seems that Chase has a lot of insight when ites to disciplining juniors. Why don''t you share your insights?"


    Lenny''s voice was authoritative, and Chase had no choice but to speak up.


    "Well, it''s like this. I believe we


    seniors should be more tolerant. I usually am. But sometimes, some neers. just don''t know their ce, and that''s when we need to slightly teach them a lesson and make them aware of their status and responsibilities. But of course, ultimately, it''s all about caring for the juniors. I believe with time, the neers will understand our good intentions."


    Lenny pped. He stood up, walked behind Chase, and ced a hand on his shoulder, pressing him into his seat.


    "No one here objects. It seems everyone agrees with what Chase said, huh?" Lenny''s statement hung in the air.


    Rita smirked disdainfully. Some


    people might find Chase''s actions contemptible, but most were just going along with the flow. After all,


    what Chase did had no impact on their own interests.


    Besides, considering Chase''s background, what could they do even if they did not like it? Were they supposed to jeopardize their futures for someone like Rita?
