Chapter 129 – Slandering News (2/2)

“There’s a small problem!” Zhao Junsheng waited a bit and said. “Did you read today’s newspaper?”

“Newspaper?” I mumbled. After reborn, I still kept the habit of checking news on the internet from my previous life, I barely cared about reading newspapers. Even though the Internet has not been popularized, I still didn’t develop the habit of reading newspapers. What’s more was that the important things that have happened these years are all imprinted in my memory, the news on newspapers were all old news to me.

“I normally don’t read newspapers,” I said to Zhao Junsheng.

“See if there’s any newspaper stand nearby, and buy a Songjiang Morning Post. There is an article slandering our corporation on it! From this morning to now, I have received countless calls from various media, some even came in person, all of them requesting us start a press conference, and give them logical explanations for this! All of them have been rejected by me temporarily!” Zhao Junsheng said anxiously.

I waved my hand, and notified Yanyan and Weier to go shopping first. The two chicks walked towards the female clothe stores hand in hand, ignoring me. I turned around, I remember that there was a newspaper stand where I parked just now. I walked quickly over there.

The parking slot was in complete chaos, a few traffic police surrounded the fish tank’s pile of “scrap metal”, and were using a tow truck to tow it away. I took a glance, and didn’t care much about it. I directly went to the newspaper stand at the entrance of the parking lot.

“A Songjiang Morning Post!” I handed over three mao and said.

“Little fellow, you’re so lucky! This is the last one! Today something big happened with our Songjiang city’s Shuguang corporation! The newspapers are selling really quick,” the old man selling the newspaper handed me a newspaper and said.

I twitched my eyebrows, how long has it been, and the entire city is already talking about it! What big thing happened with Shuguang Corporation?!

I received the newspaper, and impatiently flipped it open. Just at the front page of the newspaper a very large black heading stood out – Shuguang Input Method: Original or Copied?

My first thought was the slandering of a competitor! This Shugaung Input method was personally developed by me, although a few advantages of future input methods were fused into it by me, but in 1995, these input methods definitely have not appeared yet, a lot of the developers were actually still in school! Therefore, I was very clear about whether Shuguang input method was original, this was blatant slander!

My gaze swept down the text on the newspaper, at the start I had the attitude of placing myself outside of the situation to watch a show, and didn’t care much about this sort of rumor. You have to know that after the year 2000, as the Internet popularized, this sort of news without evidence were everywhere, there wasn’t even a lack of ones saying that the living was dead.

However, when I reached the middle of it, I couldn’t help but get worried! Even I nearly thought Shuguang Input Method was indeed copied from someone else! I couldn’t help but admit, the person writing this article was definitely good at psychological warfare! He wrote three thousand something characters, at the start was just talking about things more or less unrelated, then later on he was talking about facts, logic, and examples that all pointed their spear heads towards Shuguang Input Method! He also indirectly pointed out that although Shuguang Input Method was a product of the country, we shouldn’t treat trash as jade and be jealous of others! Although the patent laws were not fully established within the country, but this sort of rip off has already shamed the entire race’s face, and should not be toleranted by the society, morality and logic!

Basically anyone would get heated up after reading this! It completely made Shuguang Corporation as liar that has committed multiple crimes and should be killed by everyone! I think anyone with a bit of blood thirst would stand up and ask for justice.

I couldn’t help but admit that this that even I, someone that has been reborn, could not write such an amazing attack. And it was because of this, that I immediately realized the severity of the issue. Although one should not be scared of their shadow being slanted when you’re standing straight, this was a world with a mob mentality, the side effects of rumors were too huge!

If this continues, not long later, even if Shuguang didn’t copy, in the hearts of the public, the copying was still done.
