Chapter 2 The Power of Public Opinion

"Be an official?" Liu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows, a little disdainful, and a little absent-minded. He said in his heart: "As long as you give enough money, you can handle some things from top to bottom, and find a towering tree as the background, you will become an official if you are an individual. Do you think you will become an official? That's what a skill! It's not as technical as a small vendor selling stinky tofu on the street."

Although Liu Zhenhua did not say this, Heshen, who was so powerful, seemed to have heard it, and laughed unhappily: "Money can buy fame, wealth, this is true. Even when he was an official, money was a shortcut to the career of officialdom. However, from ancient times to the present, which powerful official was connected by money? Which minister who covered the sky with one hand was supported by background? Although money can buy officials, it will never be able to enter the grand hall. If you want to be a high-ranking official, you can only rely on your own ability!"

After hearing Heshen’s heartfelt remarks, Liu Zhenhua was also a little confused. A little bit of hope rekindled in his heart. He asked tentatively: “Since you don’t have the ability to get rich overnight, then you can always help me reach the top and soar, right?”

"Are you an official?" Heshen asked without answering.

Liu Zhenhua scratched his head awkwardly and replied in a low voice: "It's not a question of being an official. According to your era, I should be considered a servant in the yamen. A small civil servant, who can't speak much in the unit."

"Oh~" Heshen said lightly, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "If I asked me to help you, it would not be difficult, but He wants to say something, please Zhenhua should reflect on himself. One day in the future, He will be reborn in the cycle of reincarnation and leave you. Even if I help you get fame and fortune now, it will not be your own gain. When I leave, they may turn into colorful clouds with He's departure and leave you."

"The virtual is not the real thing. What is in front of you may not be really yours, especially when you are engaging in power for officials. Only by making people recognize you and unable to do without you, and power positions and titles will really become yours."

Liu Zhenhua is a smart man. If he hadn't had no financial background, he would have been soaring. He would not have fallen to this point today. It is precisely because he is a smart man that he could understand Heshen's words well: "How come I don't know this truth, but now it is impossible to be down-to-earth."

While Heshen did not speak, he felt the new world, but his sigh of time traveling for more than 200 years was in his heart. In politics, there was no need to ask what is legitimate or what is wrong, but just ask what is beneficial and what is harmful! The so-called officialdom is even more moral. Today's officialdom is also as deep as the sea.

Heshen's reminder brought Liu Zhenhua's thoughts back to the current problems. His hot eyes seemed to ignite a blazing flame again: "Lao He, what should we do next?"

"Now you are alone and the other party can have a strong background force. If you take a risk to fight back, you will suffer a heavy blow! But you don't have to be discouraged, especially in the officialdom. There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests!"

"Lao He, what you mean is that I need an ally now, and I don't have to care about the identity of this ally. After all, as long as I win him over, my opponent will be our common opponent!"

From his cleverness at the beginning to his excellent understanding now, Heshen has never stinged in praise of Liu Zhenhua: "A child can teach you!"

Only then did Liu Zhenhua know Heshen's ability, and found the best way to deal with it in a very short time. He began to admire Heshen's urgent wisdom: "Lao He, this ginger is so spicy!"

But before Liu Zhenhua could be happy, Heshen asked a new question: "Don't be anxious, Zhenhua, if you want to find someone to cooperate, especially those who have been opponents, have you figured out what you need to pay?"

This question undoubtedly made Liu Zhenhua's mind full of question marks, and he couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he couldn't help but ask: "What do I need to pay?"

"right!"

Liu Zhenhua then suddenly realized: "I have no money and no power, and it seems that I don't even have the capital to pay."

"No!" Heshen's attitude was still so confident and relaxed.

At this time, Liu Zhenhua was even more confused: "What do you mean?"

"I told me that if you operate the details that are obvious disadvantages, it will be a hub for advantages!"

Liu Zhenhua was not stupid either, and immediately understood what Heshen meant: "Are you saying that you gave the evidence in my hand to your opponent's opponent?"

Heshen seemed quite satisfied with the destined person who was arranged by God for himself, and his emotions rose a little unconsciously: "Haha... that's exactly!"

Liu Zhenhua replied without hesitation: "That's really good, but what benefits can I get?"

Heshen seemed to have expected Liu Zhenhua's questions, and explained to Liu Zhenhua in an old fashioned manner: "Zhenhua, you are still too young. In the officialdom, your future journey is too long. If you only want to climb up, have you ever thought about how many jealous eyes there will be behind you? You can give the evidence to your enemy's enemies and let them both suffer, so that you can have a chance to breathe!"

Liu Zhenhua couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat. If he had thought of this step, he would definitely want to use this incident to get some benefits. This move could undoubtedly lead to a loss: "Fortunately, I would like to remind you!"

"We don't have to be polite, but you have to remember that finding a strong opponent for your opponent is equivalent to how thick the shield you have! Doyouunderstand?"

"I understand." Liu Zhenhua suddenly felt something was wrong while thinking: "Damn, Lao He, you just spoke English!?"

Heshen smiled but said nothing!

Under the sunset, Liu Zhenhua dragged his lonely and powerful shadow, and his emotions were gradually moving away with a high spirit. The tomb that witnessed Liu Zhenhua's anger, roar, despair and helpless collapsed not far after Liu Zhenhua left, because of the opening of the mechanism.

Liu Zhenhua subconsciously turned around and looked at the location where the loud noise came out. It was the mountain where Heshen’s tomb was located: "It collapsed well and buried the past!"

Heshen, who was fully aware of Liu Zhenhua's mood, was not saddened by the familiar place where he could count every tree. After all, he had been alone for more than two hundred years and had to help someone with the fate to be lucky enough to leave. However, Liu Zhenhua's words made Heshen clearly feel that Liu Zhenhua had buried his past and had the heart of a tiger and wolf!

Thinking that Shen suddenly became sad, Liu Zhenhua didn't say anything, so he put the jade ring on, made up a story casually, and got on a simple farmer driving a tractor into the city.

The next morning, a newspaper with the theme of "The city's financial statistician was trapped in the Shuishen Mountain for three days and three nights, and survived in danger" appeared in the streets and alleys of Nanyang County. Almost everyone was given a copy, and everyone was happy that the protagonist in the newspaper survived the disaster.

At noon, the TV station also began to report this amazing event: "DDC TV reported that Liu Zhenhua, a statistician of the Municipal Finance Bureau, was instructed by the superiors to go to Shuishenshan to procurate local financial expenditures, but was trapped on the mountain by the sudden heavy rain. After three days and three nights of tenacious struggle, Liu Zhenhua miraculously survived, but his three colleagues died in the line of duty... After this, we can't help but think deeply, why is Liu Zhenhua, as a statistician, entrusted with such an important task? Is Liu Zhenhua himself capable of responsibilities, or is some other thoughts from some officials? Please listen to our subsequent reports."

After the dual publicity of newspapers and TV stations, this matter quickly became the focus of discussion among the people of the city, and the senior officials of the Finance Bureau were also pushed to the forefront of public opinion. In order to protect themselves and ensure the image of the unit, the Finance Bureau Director personally came out to refute the rumors and cordially visited Liu Zhenhua.

In order to make a good move, since returning to Nanyang County, Liu Zhenhua has been lying openly in the intensive care unit of the municipal hospital, enjoying the 24-hour intimate care of a pure young nurse, soft mattress, graceful young nurse, and money-free nutritional solution, which can be regarded as the "consolation prize" that Liu Zhenhua received after his life was overwhelmed.

Of course, all hospitalization costs will be paid by the unit. Otherwise, if Liu Zhenhua is killed, Liu Zhenhua will not dare to step into the hospital. Otherwise, those bottles of glucose alone will be able to reverse Liu Zhenhua's personal economy for more than ten years...

Under the careful care of the young nurse, time passed quickly. Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and social public opinion was diluted a lot with time. Except for the stars and people talking about it, most people seemed to have forgotten this matter. After all, this is an era of changing with each passing day and thousands of years. No novelty can attract the attention of the public for a long time.

As public opinion gradually became smaller, Liu Zhenhua had to say goodbye to the ICU, and the young nurse who had been together for three days and had already developed a little relationship.

After leaving the hospital, Liu Zhenhua did not rush to go to the unit, but went home first. He said that it was a home, but in fact it was a rented house, one bedroom, one living room, and kitchen and bathroom, a total of about 40 square meters. In a place like Nanyang County where every inch of land is valuable, no matter how much it is, it is already considered to be a virtue accumulated by his ancestors.

However, when Liu Zhenhua returned home, he found that his home seemed to have been visited. Although the color TV refrigerator, some living expenses and other living expenses were not lost, some financial statistics documents he placed in the drawer were taken away. Of course, this was also expected. After all, those people knew that they were not dead, they would definitely eliminate some strong evidence. Therefore, Liu Zhenhua did not care much.

He sat on the sofa casually, rubbing his temples while thinking about what to do next. At this moment, Heshen, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly appeared: "I said, what are you going to do next? Although you have been stabbed out by this matter and it has caused a lot of storm in the city, it is not time to relax your vigilance."

Liu Zhenhua was startled by Heshen who suddenly appeared and said angrily: "I asked, can you stop being so elusive? Normal people can be scared by you to get crazy."

Heshen said a little embarrassedly: "I can't blame me. If you don't bring a jade ring, I can only talk to you face to face."

"What if I bring it?" After hearing this, Liu Zhenhua took out the jade ring from his pocket and asked curiously.

Heshen said, "Take your words with you, and you can only talk to me if you take the initiative to do so that I can speak."
