Chapter 1196: Chapter 409: Apologies Require Standing at Attention_3
“As for the Los Angeles Times report, we will not comment. After all, freedom of speech is a right granted to every citizen by the U.S. federal constitution.”
Similarly, Harry Chandler and others at the Los Angeles Times headquarters were listening to the content on the radio.
When they heard this sentence, Harry Chandler finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“I didn’t expect Donnie to be so magnanimous!”
Harry Chandler couldn’t help but think, but these responses weren’t important for now. In fact, whether it’s Harry Chandler or other Republicans in California, they all know that to truly resolve this issue,
a phone call is still needed!
At this moment, the phone on Harry Chandler’s desk rang.
Harry Chandler immediately answered the call, and it was still Governor William Richardson.
“I just got a call from Block. He clarified that this was a misunderstanding between you and them, and expressed that he would also inform others. Our crisis has been averted!”
This was the call Harry Chandler wanted to hear.
“I understand, I will call Block again to express my gratitude!”
“It should be done; just this incident, I didn’t expect Donnie Block to let go so easily, which is somewhat surprising!”
William Richardson said this sentence and then hung up the phone.
But it was this sentence that aroused Harry Chandler’s vigilance.
“What do you think, if you were Donnie Block, would you so easily let this matter go?”
Harry Chandler asked Kyle Palmer and Bob Ferry, seated opposite him.
Kyle Palmer knew his own affairs weren’t over yet, so he wisely chose to remain silent at this time.
Bob Ferry shook his head and said, “If I were Donnie Block, I wouldn’t let this matter pass so easily. After all, I already hold the moral high ground at this moment!”
Harry Chandler nodded, agreeing with Bob Ferry’s words, but he also had his own doubts: “Then why would Donnie do such a thing?”
Bob Ferry shook his head, smiled wryly, and said, “If I could guess Donnie Block’s thoughts, my achievements might be higher!”
Harry Chandler then looked at Kyle Palmer and said, “You should depart immediately for Atlantic City. Although Donnie no longer pursues this matter, we still need to show attitude; at this time, we can’t let any handle be seized upon by others!”
Kyle Palmer nodded helplessly; he truly hadn’t expected the impact of this matter to be so significant.
“Ferry, while Palmer is away, you are fully responsible for all matters of the Los Angeles Times!”
Harry Chandler told Bob Ferry.
Bob Ferry appropriately showed a reserved and joyful expression, while Kyle Palmer looked ashen; he didn’t think that just because he had shared a drink with Bob Ferry before, they would become good friends!
They were still competitors at the Los Angeles Times.
But now he had already made the mistake, and he could only bear the consequences.
“Additionally, I’ve just promised on the phone to Donnie that we will give the Atlantic City Post a few communities, Ferry, find a few communities in Los Angeles!”
At this point, Harry Chandler suddenly asked Bob Ferry: “You should know which communities, right?”
At this moment, Harry Chandler was really a bit worried about these two subordinates, hoping that Bob Ferry wouldn’t have a brain cramp at this time.
Bob Ferry nodded and said, “I know, I will give Chinatown and some African American communities to the Atlantic City Post!”
Harry Chandler showed a satisfied smile; thankfully, Bob Ferry didn’t have a brain cramp.
He did promise Donnie some communities, but didn’t specify which ones. Even if both parties are Republican papers, they each have their own interests.
The Chinatown in Los Angeles now is not in the same location as the Chinatown in future generations.
The current Chinatown was dismantled in the 1930s by a magnate in Los Angeles in conjunction with the Los Angeles City Hall, to build a new community, commercial district, and central transportation hub with a joint station.
A Chinese leader of Chinatown engaged in tough negotiations with the Los Angeles City Hall, which ultimately led to the new Chinatown.
You can see from this matter that the Chinese people had no status in Los Angeles; their voices naturally carried no weight, and the situation for African Americans was just slightly better.
So these communities being given to the Atlantic City Post is actually the same as not being given, because before this, neither the Los Angeles Times nor the Pioneer Newspaper, nor the Forum Newspaper, had any interest in these communities.
Not even considered chicken ribs!
“Very good, your arrangement is excellent!” Harry Chandler nodded with satisfaction. At this point, he looked even more unfavorably on Kyle Palmer.
“Remember, before you go to Atlantic City, see Jessica Dole, and apologize properly to her on my behalf!”
The answer just given over the phone by Reid Dodge was only to fool ordinary people. Harry Chandler knew very well about Jessica Dole’s relationship with Donnie, whether or not she was Donnie’s mistress, she definitely had connections with him.
Now that this matter involved Jessica Dole, you must gain her forgiveness.
Thinking of his Los Angeles Times’ editor-in-chief having to apologize to an actress, Harry Chandler almost couldn’t resist taking out the pistol from his drawer to give Kyle Palmer a shot!
Kyle Palmer left Harry Chandler’s office in embarrassment, whereas Bob Ferry, in contrast, was all smiles!
