Chapter 243 Praising a White Lotus to Death!
The next day, the entire Chinese community in Southeast Asia was in an uproar because of the front-page headlines of the two newspapers.
Shocking Truth! A State-Owned Factory Manager in Mainland China is a Traitor!
From Hero to Traitor: The Destruction of the Liu Brothers of Baicaotang!
The article, with detailed evidence and sharp writing, exposes the crimes of the Liu brothers to the public.
From the initial shoddy workmanship to the later commercial exploitation, and finally to the heinous arson and explosions, they even attached photocopies of bank drafts showing their financial dealings with a certain overseas enemy organization.
Public opinion exploded instantly!
The small newspaper that was originally planning to publish the smear article was so frightened by the overwhelming coverage that it destroyed all the layouts it had prepared overnight, and the editor-in-chief even packed up and ran away.
Liu Jianye's last move failed before it could even be made.
Moreover, this "ironclad evidence" from overseas became the final straw that broke his back.
The military court swiftly reopened the case and, based on new evidence, ultimately sentenced Liu Jianye and his core associates to death on multiple charges, including "treason" and "organizing and leading terrorist activities," with the sentences to be carried out immediately.
The news was met with great joy.
The Qiongzhou Military Medical Supplies Factory not only did not suffer any damage to its reputation because of this incident, but instead benefited from it, establishing itself as a heroic entity that was tenacious and unyielding in the face of a powerful enemy and ultimately turned defeat into victory with the help of the nation and the forces of justice.
On the third day after the storm had subsided, the Huo family dropped another bombshell.
The Fok Group publicly announced that it will invest an additional HK$10 million in the Hainan Island Military Medical Supplies Factory for post-disaster reconstruction and technological upgrades.
At the same time, they prepaid the full amount for the next batch of orders.
This move undoubtedly declared to everyone that Su Yue was backed by the entire Huo family. Anyone who dared to touch her was making an enemy of the Huo family.
A week later, the investigation results from Northwest China were delivered to Su Yue through encrypted channels.
The document was quite thick, detailing all of Lin Wan'er's movements over the past few months.
She became quiet, kind, and helpful, becoming a "living bodhisattva" in the entire educated youth settlement.
Behind this near-perfect resume, one name is repeatedly mentioned.
Qin Zheng.
The last page of the document contains Qin Zheng's detailed background.
A native of Beijing, he is the only son of a high-ranking official in a certain ministry. Because his father lost power in the political turmoil three years ago, he was sent to the remote Northwest.
This person is resolute and knowledgeable, and never gave up learning even when facing adversity.
As Su Yue looked at the name "Qin Zheng," a terrifying deduction gradually took shape in her mind.
In this life, Lin Wan'er has learned her lesson.
She abandoned those short-sighted, underhanded seduction tactics. What she was going to do was a much bigger gamble.
She is "investing".
Invest in a rising political star whose future is destined for great success.
Once Qin Zheng is exonerated, given his family background and personal abilities, his future achievements will be limitless.
As for Lin Wan'er, the only "white moonlight" who gave him warmth and hope during his most destitute and desperate times, the reward she will receive will be revolutionary.
By then, dealing with herself, the Gu family, and even the Huo family will no longer be a pipe dream for her.
That's a good strategy—cast a long line to catch a big fish.
Su Yue put down the documents and slowly walked to the desk.
She couldn't directly target Qin Zheng.
Doing so would not only alert the enemy, but could also create a truly formidable political enemy for oneself in the future.
Since we can't touch the "fish," we can only try to find a solution from the "bait."
Su Yue spread out a sheet of paper, picked up her pen, and began writing a reply to her uncle Chen Kai, who was far away in Beijing.
A playful smile played on her lips.
Lin Wan'er, don't you like playing the "pure and innocent" type? Don't you like being a living bodhisattva who saves people from suffering?
Then I'll lend you a hand.
I want everyone to see your "kindness".
I want to build your stage even bigger, so big that the whole Northwest will sing your praises.
I want to elevate you to a pedestal, so that you can enjoy everyone's admiration and praise under the spotlight.
At that time, your every move will be under the watchful eyes of countless people.
You can no longer retreat, nor can you shed your disguise.
You can only be that flawless saint forever.
Su Yue's pen tip touched the letter paper.
A line of neat handwriting, carrying a chilling aura, leaps off the page.
"Step 1: Creating a god."
......
Su Yue's letter to the capital was like an invisible butterfly, gently fluttering its wings in the distant north.
Half a month later, a storm swept across the northwestern land, where yellow sand filled the sky.
A local newspaper, Frontier Construction Daily, published a small news article in an inconspicuous corner.
The title is "Transforming Thoughts Through Labor and Finding Value Through Dedication—A Profile of Lin Wan'er, an Outstanding Educated Youth from the Red Flag Production Team".
The article, written in a simple style, tells the story of how Lin Wan'er, a city girl who was not used to the harsh environment, transformed herself into an advanced role model who was willing to help others and selflessly dedicated herself through active participation in labor and deep self-reflection.
This report was like a bombshell in the isolated educated youth settlement.
Lin Wan'er's name spread throughout the entire farm overnight.
Immediately afterwards, the regional leaders came down to inspect the work, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, they took time out of their busy schedules to specifically ask to meet this "progressive" female educated youth.
Under the envious and jealous gazes of all the educated youth in the production team, Lin Wan'er changed into a set of clean, faded clothes and was led by the team leader to the leaders.
The leader warmly shook her hand and kindly encouraged her to continue her efforts and become a role model for all the educated youth sent to the countryside.
Lin Wan'er was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She choked up and could only utter one sentence over and over again.
"Thank you to the organization, thank you to the country. I will definitely reform myself and live up to the expectations of the leaders!"
His sincere and humble demeanor won unanimous praise from everyone present.
She became a celebrity.
As she walked down the street, people kept pointing and whispering about her. The contempt and disdain they used to show were gone, replaced by curiosity and awe.
Lin Wan'er enjoyed this unprecedented praise, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.
But soon, she realized something was wrong.
She was placed on a high platform from which she couldn't get down.
As an "advanced role model," she can no longer only think of herself as before.
When the canteen was distributing the already scarce cornbread, she had to be the first to step forward and share her portion with the thinnest member of the team.
When someone is sick, she has to take on their heavy farm work, even if she is so tired that she can't straighten her back.
When winter came, the team distributed a limited amount of cotton cloth, and she had to "nobly" give it to those who needed it more.
