Chapter 111 Qian Lei's Joy
Qian Lei is an ordinary child in Nandian Village. After school, he went home after dinner and finished his homework. As usual, he came to the open space in front of the village party secretary's house to watch TV.
This is a very common situation in this era. After all, this is an era where poverty has not yet been completely out of poverty. Many families cannot afford TVs, but Chinese people are eager for more information. Therefore, the most common situation is that when a family in a village makes money, everyone rushes to watch TV. In Nandian Village, the village committee organizes villagers to raise money and buys TVs to put them in the village party secretary's home. Every night at around 7 o'clock, he will move the TV out for everyone to watch.
Watching TV with adults every day is Qian Lei’s happiest night. He doesn’t understand why so many villains come out in a small box and can perform so many interesting things.
On this day, when Qian Lei came to the door of the village party secretary's house as usual, he saw that it was already full of people, and even people climbed up the branches next to him.
"My God, why are there so many people today? Is the List of Gods or Journey to the West being broadcast again?"
Qian Lei was very surprised, and he couldn't help but be surprised, because this time was news, and most people in the village prefer to watch TV series at 8 o'clock, but now it's only seven o'clock, which is the time for the news broadcast. Why are there so many people? This is unscientific!
"Wow! It's true, do you, a little scholar, don't you know anything about such a big thing?"
Faced with Qian Lei's doubts, someone next to him was exaggerated and surprised. Since Qian Lei always liked to watch news and talk about news and current affairs with adults in the village, he was also nicknamed as a young scholar.
"I just came back from school, so how could I know so many things?" Qian Lei said embarrassedly.
"This is not what happened today. There was a preview yesterday. Today, CCTV will open a new program called the focus interview. It will talk about some more important news and current affairs. Today is the first episode. I heard that the focus is on the recent very popular Qionghai storm. The one participating in the program today is Zhou Ming, the traitor who was in the Qionghai storm, as well as college students and professors and celebrities."
This dá àn is like putting a bombshell in Qian Lei's ear. As a young scholar in the village, Qian Lei obviously knew about this, so he rushed to the front with a strange cry.
Others were very dissatisfied with his behavior, but no one was concerned about him, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. He still gave up his position even though he cursed.
This is the biggest news now!
Qian Lei muttered in his heart, and then time went to eight o'clock little by little. Looking at the following program trailer on TV, the scene also began to discuss more and more fiercely.
"The first focus interview is about to begin. It is said that this focus interview will invite the person involved Zhou Ming to the scene."
"What big hàn raped him and sold Qionghai's company and was a dog for foreigners, but he still dared to come on the show? Is this shameless? Is it too thick-skinned? Do you really think that our national audience is a fool?"
"For these people, as long as they have money to make face, I heard that this episode was initiated by him. The purpose is to justify themselves."
"Hahaha! This statement is not too funny. Is there such a face? I know that the guest who participated in the program today is Mr. Ma Mingyuan, a famous social critic and a university professor; Wang Hao is the senior editor-in-chief of Xinbao, and Zhang Ming, who is the president of the Student Union of Yenching University. In the past, he was a top student from the Hanlin Academy. Why should he justify himself in front of them? I am afraid that he would not have to correct his name!"
In the end, these discussions turned into ridicule of Zhou Ming, which made Qian Lei very surprised.
"Why are you targeting Zhou Ming like this? He doesn't seem to have done anything wrong with heaven and earth, right?" Qian Lei said.
Qian Lei's doubts seemed abrupt in the laughter. Everyone was stunned at first, and then started to laugh. But this time they were facing Qian Lei, "You little scholar, you start arguing again every time, you don't feel tired. You don't bother talking, you don't interrupt me."
Qian Lei blushed: "I didn't argue with you. We didn't know Zhou Ming at first, so why did we call him a traitor?"
Qian Lei's unconvincing rhetoric made the atmosphere in the open space happier. In the end, the old village party secretary said to him: "Young scholar, you are still a student, so you may not know much news. They are not talking casually. This is the hottest news recently. Our new newspapers in Yanjing and many newspapers are reporting on the news of Zhou Ming's stolen country."
Following the old secretary's words, the others also said, "Yes! He sold a good coconut milk factory to a foreigner for 20,000 yuan. The coconut milk factory is worth at least several million. Do you think he is selling the country if he does this?"
More people echoed: "It's not just a coconut milk factory, but also a pharmaceutical factory and a machinery factory. He sold it to foreigners at a low price. He also called it a joint venture. Isn't it just to sell us Chinese to foreigners as slaves? Then he earned the money dipped in human blood and he could sleep at night?"
"Come on, why can't he sleep if he rapes this kind of hàn? I heard that the collapse of Qionghai real estate has caused so many people to lose their jobs and so many people jumped off the building, and it was all Zhou Ming who did it. Otherwise, why would all the people in Qionghai have no money in the future? Even if he still has money, it must be his conspiracy to join forces with those foreigners!"
Hearing these people talking more and more, Qian Lei couldn't help but say, "You are too exaggerating, right? Didn't you say that Zhou Ming was Qionghai's savior? Didn't Qionghai's real estate market be sold by Zhou Ming? Why is it his conspiracy now?"
"It's too exaggerated to sell a coconut milk factory with 20,000 yuan. Is Qionghai a lawless place? No one cares about his doing this? There are dozens or hundreds of people in the coconut milk factory, are they all willing? It's impossible to think about this kind of thing."
Qian Lei continued: "There are also pharmaceutical factories and machinery factories. I have also read reports. Didn't it say that the world-renowned multinational companies that cooperate with them? No matter how you look at this form of joint venture, it should be supported by foreign companies' investment in funds and technology to help our companies expand production and improve factory efficiency. This is good for us, why is it..."
Before Qian Lei could finish his words, there was a burst of ridicule next to him.
"You little scholar, you really think you are a cultural intellectual, do you really think you are a cultural person? You are still showing off your eloquence to us here. Have you ever been to work? Do you know what a factory is like, who are the leaders of those factory and have you ever been in contact with society?"
"When I asked the little scholar to brainwash some fake news I heard from some unknown place, I insisted on arguing with us, and there are some world-famous multinational companies. Do you know what you are talking about? If there is such a company, why don't you contact the country first and have to do it with him as a businessman in Qionghai? Isn't this a joke to put the cart before the horse?"
"We cross more bridges than you walk. Do you understand these big bosses? I will tell you that these people are very bad. In their eyes, there is only money and interests. They can do anything to achieve their goals! They also support the expansion of production. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
These people kept laughing at Qian Lei, and Qian Lei also shrank his neck and didn't know what to say. At this time, the old branch secretary signaled everyone to be quiet and the focus interview was about to begin.
As a simple opening passed, the hosts Luo Song, Zhou Ming and Ma Mingyuan soon appeared in the camera.
When Luo Song introduced their identities, everyone was cheering because they didn't expect that Zhou Ming would really dare to appear on the show in person, which made them scold again.
Then when Ma Mingyuan and the others accused Zhou Ming of being a traitor, the people in front of the TV were even more agitated, especially in the end, many people shouted with Wang Hao: "Ha Never mind, it's a pity that everyone should be beaten!"
Someone remembered Qian Lei and said to him: "You have heard it all. These are the celebrities invited by CCTV. They said more profoundly than us. What you just said is nothing more than the excuses you used to frame your own high-sounding title. In fact, he is just selling the country!"
These people all looked fierce and frightened Qian Lei at once. He also heard Ma Mingyuan and the others' words just now. Although it made sense, he always felt something was wrong.
"This Zhou Ming is a traitor from the new era. Why doesn't the central government deal with such people? Will he still leave such people to celebrate the New Year? Fortunately, it was exposed, otherwise such people would ruin us so much!"
"This kind of person is a scumbag who forgets his ancestors. He sells the factory to foreigners at a low price and helps foreigners evade taxes. This kind of person was born fifty years ago and was a big traitor like Wang Jingwei. Fortunately, he was caught and dared to go on TV. This kind of person is a rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats!"
Then came Zhou Ming's counterattack. When Zhou Ming scolded Ma Mingyuan for being shameless, some people said why Zhou Ming dared to blame Ma Mingyuan in reverse. It was really a thief who called to catch him. But when Zhou Ming pointed out the luxury goods on them, the people who were scolding him were just as excited as ducks that were strangled by someone, all of them opened their mouths and couldn't speak.
Qian Lei stood up with excitement on his face and finally shouted with Zhou Ming, "I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
"Did you all hear it? I knew something was wrong with this matter, I knew that they must have ulterior motives for slandering Zhou Ming like this. They were deliberately slandering this matter because they were all bribed and exposed!" Qian Lei said excitedly, "I want me to say that you were brainwashed, and the things in the newspaper were deliberately misleading you!"
