This is totally different from what I imagined!
Don't you even have the ability to be humble?
You just said that you were unwilling to be the president later, but now that I say you are willing to be the president, what does that mean?
Zhou Maoxue's expression gradually became stiff.
Finally, he sat back in his original seat in despair, his mind in a daze.
This move really made him confused...
Fang Zheng glanced at him and sneered in his heart.
Trash, you can't even see the timing, I've already pushed it twice.
Do you understand that three times is the limit?
Li Yuanzhao took the opportunity to create a good atmosphere: "In this case, the position of president has been decided. We welcome President Tang!"
"Hello, President!"
As Li Yuanzhao took the lead, a chorus of voices echoed.
Fang Zhengyi pressed his hands together and said humbly, "We are all friends. This is just a name that we came up with to make it easier for everyone to act. So don't be so reserved."
"But since you have shown me your kindness, I will naturally shoulder more responsibilities as the president. If you have any questions or opinions, you can take the initiative to raise them to me, and I will do my best to solve them for you!"
"President Tang said it well."
Watching Fang Zhengyi's spirited speech and listening to the voices of support around him, Zhou Maoxue felt uncomfortable.
Damn it! I should be the one speaking... I have been working so hard and building relationships for so long, only to have my achievements stolen by a stranger who showed up halfway.
Forget it, things have come to this point and cannot be reversed, so let him be. He will definitely have his own space to move around in the future and will be able to make a name for himself among the crowd.
In addition, with so many people gathering together to cause trouble, the imperial court would definitely take action.
If the thunder comes, he can withdraw at any time, without having to stand in front and be trapped...
Zhou Maoxue kept comforting himself.
The scholar next to him was happily drinking. When he saw that Zhou Maoxue was a little bit abnormal, he asked in doubt: "Brother Zhou, why are you shaking?"
"The wine...is a bit spicy." Zhou Maoxue forced a smile.
Seeing that the general idea had been decided, Fang Zheng raised his hand and said, "Since this matter has been decided, I will talk to you about my preliminary thoughts."
"At present, everyone is considered as the elders of Xingsheng Society and the core backbone of the organization. Tang naturally trusts them very much. However, considering that we will continue to be active in the outside world in the future and absorb talents. In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking into the society, I think we should first set up a set of secret codes for communication between the core members only."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted, "What the president said, is it like using jargon or hand gestures to identify one another, just like the gangs?"
"That's right!" Fang Zheng said, "As all of you here are scholars, it's not appropriate to use jargon, so we can just use a simple gesture to confirm each other's identities."
"The gestures used for communication need to be simple yet meaningful, but I have already thought of them, just for your reference."
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he raised his hand and stretched out his index finger, first making a nine, and then a one.
This was repeated several times until the entire scene was clearly visible.
"Jiuyao? President, what does this mean? And isn't the action a little too simple?"
Facing a puzzled look, Fang Zheng raised his hand and explained, "No."
"Everyone present here is our own people, and they are quite reliable. Moreover, everyone is educated and not a gangster. All we need is a simple and easy-to-understand gesture that doesn't have to be too complicated."
"Also, this gesture has a special meaning. It means to clean up the world, to get back to the roots, and to return to the unity. Of course, if you have other ideas, you can also bring them up and discuss them. You don't have to just listen to my opinion."
The scholars present faced each other in pairs, made the Jiuyao gesture with their fingers, hooked their fingers together, and smiled mysteriously at each other.
Hmm! It's quite interesting. There's no need to make it too complicated.
And Jiuyao has a very good meaning!
Li Yuanzhao was just thinking about it when he saw Fang Zhengyi hinting at him with his eyes. He understood and said, "Chairman Tang, I think even if this item is approved, the Jiuyao gesture is also very good. There is no need to waste more time. Let's move on to the next item. After all, how to do things is the most important thing."
Fang Zheng looked around and saw that no one objected, so he said, "Okay, let's temporarily decide on this communication gesture, which is specifically used to distinguish outsiders. Now let's talk about how to act."
"But before I say anything, I still have to respect everyone's opinions. I wonder what you think? Feel free to speak your mind."
Zhou Maoxue stood up without hesitation.
As for the idea, he had been brewing it in his mind for a long time.
Now that the position of president has fallen to someone else, the only way to lead everyone is to demonstrate ability.
Zhou Maoxue turned his head and said loudly, "I have an idea. When we were sitting in front of the Marquis's mansion, not only did Fang Zhengyi shut the door and not see us, but even the imperial court did not react at all."
"Obviously, they know they are in the wrong and want to delay time and make a big deal out of it. Since the court doesn't dare to face it, we must force the court to face up to our demands."
"So I think the most important thing right now is to... run a newspaper!"
When they heard that he wanted to start a newspaper, Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao immediately looked at each other.
"Publish a newspaper?" Many people's eyes flashed with excitement.
Everyone is well aware of the influence of the newspaper. If the Xingsheng Society's newspaper can gain a foothold, it will undoubtedly have a significant impact in Beijing and even the world.
"But running a newspaper is not that easy. It requires a lot of money. Although we cannot be called poor, we have little money left in the capital. Far water cannot quench a nearby fire. And even if we succeed in running the newspaper, who will read it?" Someone obviously realized the problem.
