The intern didn't dare to argue. They just muttered something under their breath and left, completely crestfallen.
About half an hour later, the intern suddenly returned.
His boss was a little confused, assuming there was more breaking news. Instead, he was handed a letter of resignation.
"What's this about?"
"I'm sorry. Being a journalist is my dream, but my core principle is to report the truth. I saw that post. Many students from Class 7 have come forward to set the record straight, so there's obviously a misunderstanding."
"What I'm being asked to do now violates my principles as a journalist. I won't do something unethical just for the sake of clicks."
The intern said nothing more. After handing in the resignation letter, they walked away from their desk.
Even so, the few veteran journalists present, who had been in the business for decades, were only stunned for a moment. Then, their eyes filled with scorn.
Just then, they received a message on their platform's backend.
