Currently, the main sources of information for people are newspapers and television.

Whether it's newspapers or television, they are very objective when describing news events.

However, once the subject is objective, it becomes much harder to evoke the reader's emotions.

But this post is different. Guan Baiyu specially commissioned someone to write it. Although the language is straightforward, it is written in a very tragic way.

In particular, the inclusion of color photographs makes the impact even greater.

"After Hong Zhiqi was injured, he did not receive any compensation and faced financial difficulties. Fortunately, the owner of the scrap metal recycling station took him in and allowed him to work there, helping to sort scrap metal, and paid him 100 yuan a month..."

Hong Zhiqi said, "What else can I do? I want to live."

"I bought him a case of instant noodles, but he said they were too expensive and not enough to fill him up. He asked if he could sell the noodles and buy rice instead..."

“His leg is gone, but it always hurts. He doesn’t know what phantom limb pain is. He only says it’s affecting his sleep and work, and he’s afraid he won’t be able to finish his work.”

He said that what he fears most now is not pain, but hunger.

...

At the Baishi Internet Cafe, someone was sitting in front of their computer when suddenly tears streamed down their face.

People who can afford to play computer games are generally well-off and have money.

Upon seeing someone in such a miserable state, the person who went to the forum to read the post immediately burst into tears.

At the same time, Mu Tian, ​​who had taken a break to turn on her computer, also saw the post.

Her heart almost stopped when she saw the photo for the first time.

When I read the later descriptions... I was moved to tears.

Guan Baiyu had told her about some of her past experiences before, which made her very sad. After seeing this post... if her child really drops out of school, will he also live like this?

This post quickly attracted many followers, who criticized Shao Baitong and also wanted to help Hong Zhiqi.

People at that time were very naive; no one even considered that it might be fake.

Of course, this is indeed true.

In a follow-up post, Guan Baiyu also released Hong Zhiqi's medical records, as well as some news reports from J City after the accident at the Shao Baitong construction site.

The news of deaths and subsequent suicides at the Shaobaitong construction site was reported in J City, but most people simply read it and moved on.

Now that this news is being released alongside the Hong Zhiqi incident, it gives people a different feeling.

When Guan Baiyu posted this news, he also described the incident at the time, adding, "I heard that the foreman is still doing well and hasn't received any punishment. I'm so angry!"

Guan Baiyu followed up on the entire post and replied to the comments. He perfectly played the role of a bystander who posted the incident online for everyone to see because he was angry.

"After getting to know Hong Zhiqi, I realized how hard those migrant workers work, and how they don't receive any protection!"

"When will we be rid of these unscrupulous contractors?"

"What's the difference between someone like Shao Baitong and those coal bosses who disregard worker safety for the sake of mining coal?"

...

This post immediately became a hot topic.

Coincidentally, someone from J City also happened to see the post and mentioned something else—the walls of the house that Shao Baitong built had cracked!

In no time, almost everyone who visited the forum saw this post.

Guan Baiyu struck while the iron was hot and posted the same post in other places, of course, indicating where it was forwarded from.

I'd also like to promote my own forum.

Just like in the past, when a movie or TV series was made, because there were few versions available, everyone in the country would have seen it. Now, with less content online, it's possible that everyone who goes online has seen the same post.

This has brought a great deal of attention to Hong Zhiqi's case.

However, this attention was limited to the internet, and at that time, only a minority of people had internet access, so in reality, only a few people knew about it.

At least Shao Baitong knew nothing about it.

Hong Zhiqi and the workers on his construction site were also completely unaware of this.

After Guan Baiyu left, there was no further news. Hong Zhiqi was still wondering if the man had lied to him, but the only loss he suffered by going with Guan Baiyu was that he had to take a day off and have his salary deducted...

Hong Zhiqi gradually calmed down.

However, someone from his uncle's scrap metal recycling station came and asked about his uncle, Hong Zhiqi.

Hong Zhiqi had told his uncle not to say the photos were taken recently, so that people wouldn't think it was fake news.

Therefore, when people came to ask about this matter, Hong Zhiqi's uncle did not mention the later photo incident, but only talked about some of Hong Zhiqi's previous experiences.

Those are all true, absolutely true, and everyone around knows it!

So online, some people confirmed that the post was real.

But this is still a small-scale issue.

Guan Baiyu was not content with just that, so he took the initiative to contact print media, saying that there was a hot post on his forum that could be reported.

Changxi City.

Shao Baitong has been in Changxi City for some time now. He plans to rebuild his business here and then return to J City later.

But I keep running into obstacles!

Most people, after making a lot of money, look down on small amounts of money.

When they are at a low point, they are even more eager to make a lot of money, which will impress others.

This is Shao Baitong's current mindset.

That's why he kept a close eye on Shi Zhen, wanting all the projects Shi Zhen had.

His own project was stolen by someone else after someone jumped off a building. He wanted to use the same method to make Shi Zhen lose the project.

Unfortunately, none of the foremen under Shi Zhen were willing to cooperate with him.

Shao Baitong planned to bribe the workers at Shi Zhen's construction site to create a safety accident, and then he would hire people to make a big fuss about it.

As for how to create a safety accident... loosening the scaffolding and causing the workers to fall... that's too easy to do!

Shao Baitong made a decision and immediately asked his younger brother to contact the people at Liu Weicheng's construction site.

When Shao Baitong wanted to smuggle the construction materials, his first choice was Liu Weicheng's construction site, and there was a reason for that.

Of all the projects under Shi Zhen's command, the one that Liu Weicheng was in charge of was the smallest. After all, Liu Weicheng was a newcomer, and Shi Zhen was reluctant to entrust him with large projects.

Moreover, this project is located in Anshan Town.

Compared to the projects in Changxi City, this project in Anshan Town is less conspicuous, making it easier for them to tamper with the project without making a mistake.

There were many people at Liu Weicheng's construction site. After he became the foreman, he naturally found his relatives to work on the site.

His closest relative was his nephew.

Liu Weicheng's eldest son did not go out to work. As for his youngest son... the youngest son was still young, so Liu Weicheng had not let him work on the construction site before. Later, he even sent him to follow Shao Baitong's younger brother.

He kept his nephew by his side and taught him carefully.

He made his nephew do all the work. As for the reason... after learning everything, his nephew could definitely become a foreman in Shizhen's place. Even if he didn't have much of a future in Shizhen's place... he could still make money by building houses for people in the neighborhood!

Putting himself in Shi Zhen's shoes, Liu Weicheng figured Shi Zhen definitely wouldn't like having a foreman's cronies on the construction site who didn't do any work but got paid for nothing... So whenever he was on the construction site, he would make his nephew run around like a headless chicken, and sometimes when he needed to make an example of someone, he would use his nephew as a scapegoat.

He didn't even tell anyone that this was his own nephew.

Of course, he would definitely make it up to his nephew in private, but on the construction site... most people felt that he didn't like his nephew.

So when Shao Baitong's younger brother inquired, he noticed Liu Weicheng's nephew and deliberately tried to run into him a few times.

Liu Weicheng's nephew: "!!!" Isn't this the person the boss sent to test them? His uncle told him he knew him!

Liu Weicheng's nephew looks remarkably like his uncle.

Specifically, he has a lot on his mind...

Now, when the boss comes to test them, he completely agrees with what the other person says, and then as they talk, he realizes something is wrong.

This person kept speaking ill of Liu Weicheng in front of him.

He joined the man in cursing his uncle, and then he realized something was wrong.

In his words, the man actually encouraged him to take revenge on his uncle.

The boss might send someone to test the waters, but surely not like this?

Liu Weicheng's nephew pretended to be persuaded but still hesitant, and made another appointment with this person to meet again.

Then, without stopping, he went to find his uncle and told him about it.

When Liu Weicheng learned of this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed the reason: "Could this person be... not someone sent by the boss, but someone from the boss's enemy?"

Wait a minute, this guess is clearly more likely!

This person never had good intentions from the beginning; he wanted them to smuggle materials from the construction site, didn't he?

Liu Weicheng immediately sent his nephew to test this person and see what he was up to.

Liu Weicheng's nephew agreed with great excitement. This was interesting, especially since... the man had been talking to him, inviting him to dinner and drinks.

He loves to drink, but drinking is prohibited on the construction site. Now he has the chance to go out and drink, how great is that!

The weather has gotten warmer, and the night market stalls and cold drink stands in Anshan Town have all come out.

Liu Weicheng's nephew went out to drink with Shao Baitong's younger brother again.

Shao Baitong's younger brother has already started discussing with him in detail how to get back at Liu Weicheng: "If you tamper with the scaffolding and something goes wrong, your foreman will definitely be blamed and won't be able to be the foreman anymore. Maybe then you can become the foreman."

Liu Weicheng's nephew looked excited: "I've always wanted to be a foreman... but I don't dare."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"The ones who are going to have an accident are... people from our construction site, we're all friends..."

"When you were bullied before, no one helped you."

"I really can't, I don't dare..." Liu Weicheng's nephew looked timid and scared.

The young man, in his early twenties, with a full beard and a drinking capacity of half a jin (250ml) at a time, looked so useless that it was hard to bear to look at him. Shao Baitong's younger brother was very annoyed.

But he'd already put so much effort into this person, he couldn't just give up suddenly: "It's really nothing, just be a little braver..."

Liu Weicheng's nephew suddenly said, "Why don't you... go?"

Shao Baitong's younger brother was a little confused: "Me? If he's to go... why is he even trying to win this person over?"

"I really don't dare... but I can help you distract the watchmen."

Shao Baitong's younger brother gritted his teeth and finally said, "Okay, I'll go!" His brother was urging him, and he couldn't delay any longer!
