Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A few days after Fang Bingsheng was "injured in a car crash at night", he never went to the Shaoxing Textile Factory not far away. He has been recovering from his injuries at home with a loaded pistol. Even his son no longer goes to self-study in the evening.  During the meal, Zhou Lizai, whose head and face were swollen like a pig's head, took him back;

    There are always a few local hooligans from Shiligou wandering around in front and back of the wooden building. These are his friends hired by Zhou Lizai. Zhou Lizai has also been absent from work at the Health Bureau and plans to be automatically fired. During the day, he sits in the corner of Fang Bingsheng's wooden building.  Drinking and bragging on the platform, serving tea and water, and doing Fang Bingsheng's servant job.

    Fang Bingsheng does not require his bodyguards to be able to fire bullets perfectly and protect his master from under the gun. Shiligou does not have such talents, cannot afford to hire them, and does not need them due to his own status. He just wants himself and his family to be watched by others at all times. This is  A low-level safety standard is sufficient.

    However, Fang Bingsheng also let the wind out: he was not a manager hired by Li Jinren or anything like that, but only did a small job of copywriting for boss Li Jinren. Now that he has finished the work and the money is clear, he will stop working.

    For this reason, Li Jinren also found a local tabloid in Qilihe and bought an advertorial, "Temporary employee fell down at night and charity factory owner visits him personally." Generally speaking, Li Jinren has a Christian love, even if an indifferent temporary worker Fang Bingsheng was injured.  Although he had no obligation to take care of her, he still visited her and paid her medical expenses.

    It seems that he is bragging that Li Jinren is more in line with the spirit of Christianity, but it is actually whitewashing his relationship with Fang Bingsheng.  If there is a fierce attack in the future, this humble tabloid article can be used as evidence to throw out.  ¡ª¡ªLi Jinren is very satisfied with Fang Bingsheng¡¯s media scrubbing skills and the pre-cutting arrangements he is responsible for.

    In addition, Fang Bingsheng began to read various major newspapers on the market.  Collect information for future work, and wait for Li Jinren to gain access to upper-level connections.

    Li Jinren has not been in Shiligou at all in the past few days. He is running around the capital every day, trying to get Zheng Abao's letter (actually a letter from Fang Bingsheng asking to join the Liberal Party) to the other party's hands. However, it is conceivable that the arms king is not  It is so easy to contact someone, even if it is just to confirm that the other party can receive the letter, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary wealthy businessman in Shaoguan to open up this way.

    At noon that day, Li Jinren was eating and resting at the Haijing Shaoguan Chamber of Commerce (Shaoguan Traveling in Beijing Association). The Chamber of Commerce is located in the prosperous area of ??the city and is magnificently built.  There are guest rooms, restaurants and swimming pools.  It is not open to the public, just to facilitate the big businessmen of Shaoguan to settle here, do business, make friends, have their children participate in the imperial examination, etc. The Li family has been successful and has membership in it.  Therefore, I always choose to stay here every time I go to the city.

    Just when Li Jinren was taking a nap in the second-floor guest room in Building 4.  The servant woke him up.  Tell him that Kui Shengyuan has something important to ask him.

    As soon as the servant opened the door, Kui Shengyuan pushed the servant away and shouted "Old Li!"  He hurried from the door to the reception room and pushed open the bedroom door. Inside, Li Jinren was sitting on the edge of the bed picking up his shoes. When he saw his old friend coming, he laughed: "Brother Kui, why are you in such a hurry?  I've been busy in the capital recently and haven't had time to go to Qilihe to discuss the simplified Chinese characters with you"

    Kui Shengyuan waved the newspaper in his hand like a fan, and shouted with horror and excitement: "The election campaign has begun! The Democratic Party fired the first shot! The first shot will be you!"

    "What?" Li Jinren was startled. He loosened his hands and kicked off his feet. The cloth shoes he was putting on flew out and hit the little angel oil painting on the bedside table with a loud sound.

    Taking the newspaper from Kui Shengyuan¡¯s hand, Li Jinren almost tore it open when he saw the headline:

    "Liberal Party's duplicitous candidates slap father and son in the face"

    Looking at the content again, Li Jinren was so shocked that he forgot to take care of his shoes, so he walked on the floor with one shoe on and one bare foot while reading. His head was covered with cold sweat.

    As expected, the content of the newspaper focused on Fang Bingsheng¡¯s attack on Li Jinren. It quoted from classics:

    Last year, "Haijing Jiwen" reported that in the first election in Shaoguan that year, the Democratic Party had illegal inside information such as manipulating the election and intimidating candidates;

    The suspect was Fang Bingsheng, the behind-the-scenes master who worked for the Democratic Party at the time, and one of the witnesses was Li Jinren¡¯s father, Li Lianwen;

    But who would have thought that Li Jinren, the son of Liberal Party candidate Li Lianwen, and Fang Bingsheng would collude!

    "Don't say that Fang Bingsheng has a lot of misdeeds. He was personally reported by the Democratic Party coach Yicheng as a suspected murderer and was fired by Song You Tiedian in the newspaper.

    From the perspective of the two-party campaign: The Liberal Party attacked Fang Bingsheng for manipulating the election, but now it wants to hire this "election gangster" to canvass votes for itself?  Also trying to manipulate our "fair and just" elections?  Is the Liberal Party duplicitous?

    From an ethical perspective: it¡¯s your father¡¯s adviceSeeing the behavior of these guys, Li Jinren¡¯s head was big, his mouth was open and his eyes were wide open, he didn¡¯t know what to say, and the newspaper in his hand was clenched into strips.

    Behind him, Kui Shengyuan sighed again and again. He couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Li Jinren being slapped in the face even his father, but his eyes were full of envy and his saliva was about to flow out.

    After being polite to these shameless people with a grimace, Li Jinren broke through the siege and hurried down the second floor to ask Fang Bingsheng. Kui Shengyuan followed closely behind him.

    When he asked his men to drive the carriage over in the parking lot, Li Jinren suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted: "I forgot! Mr. Fang asked me to keep my distance. I can't go to see him in person."

    "I'll go! I'll go! I'll go find Mr. Fang and ask, my people are building a lot of construction in Shiligou. No one will say anything if I go!" Kui Shengyuan flashed out like a ghost, his face full of joy.

    Li Jinren thought for a while, wiped the sweat from his head and face, and said, "Okay! Please leave it to Brother Kui! I'll go see Mr. Qi Yunlu, the leader of Shaoguan, and see what the party will do."

    ¡°Then he looked down and shouted something bad. It turned out that he had been so excited just now that the newspaper in his hand was clenched into black strips.

    "Oh, I made the newspaper look like this, how can I tell Mr. Qi? Is there anyone selling this "New Industry and Commerce" around? Do you have to go to the suburbs to buy it?" Li Jinren yelled heartbroken.

    "I brought it to you!" Kui Shengyuan ran to his carriage, lifted an elbow-high bundle of "New Industry and Commerce" from it, and proudly shouted to Li Jinren: "What a great event, I'll put it on the newsstand  I bought all the newspapers!" (To be continued)
