CHAPTER 1266: CHAPTER 1267: THE LOVE-STRUCK BROTHER’S SISTER 109

Zhang Dong knew Zhang Hao would definitely stir up something, but he didn’t expect he could cause such a fuss.

The TV station, police, and fire department were all involved, and even the media wanted to interview him.

Zhang Dong couldn’t count the number of interviews he’d done in his life, maybe not as high-profile, but at least he maintained a positive image.

This time being interviewed, it’s such a type of interview, Zhang Dong felt his reputation was completely pulled down by Zhang Hao.

Zhang Dong knew Zhang Hao just wanted him to agree to find him a job for the sake of so-called face.

He dared to say, once this precedent was set, this kid would definitely repeat this trick endlessly.

Zhang Dong explained the whole incident over the phone.

Zhang Dong: His son is already in kindergarten, he’s also about to turn 30, the marriage organized, the house settled, his son’s tuition and extracurricular money, I’ve been paying for it.

Zhang Dong: As a father, haven’t I done enough?

Zhang Dong: I also used my connections to help him find work, but he didn’t work well, and when the boss asked him to reflect, he resigned.

Zhang Dong: What more do you want me to do?

Zhang Dong: I’ve stopped expecting him to take care of me in my old age, he can do as he pleases.

The reporter was speechless, saying Zhang Dong didn’t do well? An old father who can do this has really exceeded 90% of fathers.

But Zhang Hao was persisting upstairs, and the reporter felt helpless too.

Zhang Dong: I won’t go; if I satisfy him this time, won’t he do this every time I’m not satisfied?

Zhang Dong: I’ve said it long ago, he’s already an adult, he can make any decision.

After Zhang Dong hung up the phone, there was no way for the reporter but to try persuading Zhang Hao again.

Zhang Hao knew that calling Zhang Dong, that heartless old man, wouldn’t work anymore, and burst into tears, saying how heartless Zhang Dong was, and how indifferent the successful sister was.

The reporters, hearing there was a younger sister involved, quickly asked if he had her contact information.

Zhang Hao shouted, "I have no contact information."

"She looks down on me, her brother who didn’t go to college."

In his words, he didn’t hesitate to harshly criticize Zhang Yu, saying how his sister looked down on him and accusing Zhang Dong of infidelity.

All in all, the entire Zhang Family was no good, and he was the poor victim.

The reporters increasingly felt that the father Zhang Hao described was indeed the same person they had interviewed before.

Wanting to confirm, but seeing the excited crowd behind, the reporter dared not ask.

All they could do was continue to divert his attention, and soon someone rushed in from the side to pull Zhang Hao away.

As he was dragged away, Zhang Hao was really startled and couldn’t help but shout, "I don’t want to die, don’t pull me."

With these words, the crowd, who were celebrating the successful rescue, were all stunned.

A curious onlooker couldn’t help but ask the question everyone was thinking, "So, you didn’t want to die at all."

"Then why were you standing here?"

"Because I wanted to, is that not allowed?" Zhang Hao said arrogantly, "Did I say I wanted to jump off the building?"

"Did I ask you to call the police? Seriously, you folks are meddlesome." Zhang Hao angrily walked away from the crowd.

His behavior enraged the crowd; some couldn’t curse due to work constraints.

But the onlookers didn’t care, "He clearly just said his family was driving him to death."

"Exactly, crying about having no way to live, might as well die."

The crowd discussed together, "I think he just wanted everyone to know how poorly his dad and sister treated him."

"I overheard his dad saying on the phone." A bystander who happened to hear the reporter’s call with Zhang Dong relayed that phone call.

Upon hearing it, many onlookers were filled with envy and grudging admiration, "Isn’t that good enough? The house was transferred directly to him."

"The marriage fully dealt with, job found for him, yet he didn’t work properly, and still the elderly are responsible for the child’s expenses."

"Exactly, if he says his father is excessive under such circumstance, he really is ungrateful."

As for Zhang Hao claiming his younger sister looked down on him, now everyone felt it might be his own doing.

"Such a good old father, yet in his words not worth a mention, predictably, the sister wouldn’t be appreciated either."

Zhang Hao, happily rushing home, had no idea the situation reversed after he left; his tearful complaints turned into evidence of his excessive behavior.

Walking halfway, Zhang Hao suddenly remembered he forgot to ask which TV station the reporter was from.

Returning to ask felt inappropriate, Zhang Hao thought, "Forget it, anyway, it’s local TV."

"Watch more by then." He didn’t believe it wouldn’t make the news.

"If it doesn’t, then Zhang Dong must be scared, got someone to suppress it."

"By then, I can go directly to Zhang Dong asking for a job, or else..."

Zhang Hao fiercely indicated, "I can feign death once, then twice, three times."

He didn’t believe the TV station was run by Zhang Dong, had to make the news.

On his way back, the reporter dialed Zhang Dong again, confirmed his identity, and realized his assumptions were correct.

As for the sister Zhang Hao spoke of, the reporter had some idea.

If he were the sister, he would indeed look down on Zhang Hao.

The reporter thought a bit, then asked Zhang Dong if this kind of news should really be aired.

Zhang Dong didn’t expect the reporter to ask; his first thought was not to air it.

Upon further reflection, suppressing the news would lead Zhang Hao to keep causing trouble, it would be the same hassle.

Zhang Dong thought for a moment: better air it, or else I worry Zhang Hao might continue causing trouble.

The reporter was surprised Zhang Dong wouldn’t suppress the news, unexpectedly not doing so: Really put it out?

Zhang Dong hummed: Put it out, I’m about to retire, reputation doesn’t matter.

Zhang Dong: As for Little Yu, Zhang Hao already severed relations with her after calculating her earlier when he had a girlfriend.

Zhang Dong: Little Yu is busy now, I, as her father, can’t reach her, let alone pay attention to these news Zhang Hao causes.

Zhang Dong felt Zhang Yu might care out of curiosity, wanting to know how he’s unlucky, but most news wouldn’t interest her.

Though Zhang Dong briefly mentioned it, it had different implications for the reporter.

Turns out Zhang Hao’s relationship with Zhang Yu was bad for a reason, and Zhang Hao wronged Zhang Yu?

As a journalist, naturally interested to dig deeper, yet concerned the response might not be something he could handle as a small reporter.
