Chapter 209 Threats are the most effective
Gu Xiaojiao has been working in text-related fields for many years, and she has acquired ten years of professional abilities related to text sensitivity.
Thanks to her efforts, a moving article made it to the headlines of the Yanjing Daily early the next morning.
The newspaper caused a sensation in Yanjing as it wished.
And it spread little by little across the country.
When An Qingshan saw the news in the newspaper, his eyes turned red. He called the current editor-in-chief of Yenching Daily, Mai Huaqiang, and asked him angrily:
"What the hell are you doing?"
At this time, Mai Huaqiang also looked very worried. He didn't know why the content of the newspaper that was finalized yesterday had changed when it was published today.
He called all the employees responsible for newspaper distribution to the office for questioning, wanting to know who was behind this.
But no one was willing to respond to Mai Huaqiang's words.
In the past few years, An Qingshan has been looking for opportunities, hoping to form a camp with Zhao Kuangguo and reap benefits from the cooperation between newspapers and banks.
Although Zhao Kuangguo was grateful to An Qingshan for lending him the money, he always adhered to his professional bottom line and did not go along with An Qingshan.
Because Zhao Kuangguo was not easy to move, An Qingshan set his sights on a new target. He chose Mai Huaqiang, who was hypocritical.
Long before An Qingshan and Zhao Kuangguo officially broke up, An Qingshan had been in cahoots with Mai Huaqiang for a long time.
However, Zhao Kuangguo was rigorous in his work, so even though An Qingshan and Mai Huaqiang got some benefits, they never got the big share.
An Qingshan was going to kick Zhao Kuangguo out sooner or later, but the fact that Zhao Kuangguo protected Gu Xiaojiao accelerated An Qingshan's pace.
Mai Huaqiang was a man of no ability. He was as humble as a dog in front of Anqingshan.
He was able to become the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, which was achieved through money from Anqingshan and planning for a long time.
So when An Qingshan scolded him on the phone, he didn't dare to get angry at all, and could only patiently explain to An Qingshan:
"President An, I just found out about this. The layout of the newspaper was temporarily changed. I also just found out about this. They are investigating this matter!"
"There's no point in investigating. It's already been sent. You're really a piece of shit, a useless piece of mud that can't be helped. It's a waste of my time on you."
Faced with An Qingshan's accusations, Mai Huaqiang felt uncomfortable, but he could only smile quietly.
He was still speaking in a friendly manner, but the person on the other end of the phone had already hung up. After Mai Huaqiang put down the phone, his face suddenly became gloomy.
He looked around at the employees of the newspaper and asked in a pretentious manner:
"You all want to rebel, right? If you don't tell me who did it, I'll fire you all."
There was still no one in the office speaking, and it was obvious that no one took Mai Huaqiang seriously.
A poetry editor suddenly became the chief editor, which in itself made many people feel dissatisfied.
Didn't An Ran publish a sour poem in the Yanjing Daily? It was this Mai Huaqiang who helped An Ran to get it done.
No one paid any attention to Mai Huaqiang. His words were of no use in the newspaper office, and he didn't dare to really fire anyone. In the end, he could only ask these people to leave the office with a sullen face.
The momentum of public opinion was very fierce. In a short time, many people from all over the country had called for the release of Zhao Kuangguo.
However, public opinion was only Ye Shouren's first step in responding.
He also had to take the first step, and asked Xiao Hong's father Xiao Congjun to help write evidence to prove that Zhao Kuangguo's donation was approved by Anqing Mountain.
Xiao Congjun was in his fifties, thin and dark, with a pair of slanted eyes that showed an unpleasant shrewdness and calculation.
For Xiao Hong's safety, Ye Shouren did not take Xiao Hong directly to Xiao Congjun's home. Instead, after finding out his address, Ye Shouren went there alone.
After knowing Ye Shouren's purpose, Xiao Congjun said:
"You can ask me to testify, but how are you going to calculate the reward for me?"
Ye Shouren did not answer Xiao Congjun's question. Instead, he said to Xiao Congjun:
"I can afford any bribe you want, but before that, you have to meet someone with me."
"Meet someone? Who do you want me to meet?"
"I won't know after I see you."
The person Ye Shouren brought Xiao Congjun to see was naturally Xiao Hong, who was sold by the Xiao couple.
When he saw Xiao Hong in the courtyard, a trace of shame flashed across Xiao Congjun's face, but he immediately covered it up with his anger.
Xiao Congjun picked up a piece of wood from the ground and went to hit Xiao Hong, cursing:
"You little stinky girl, your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words told you to get married and enjoy a peaceful life, but you don't want to. Why are you running away? What will happen to me and your mother if you run away?
Since the first day you ran away, the Wang family has sent several people to stake out our house in turns, and they also came to cause trouble, scaring your brother so much that he peed his pants.
Tell me what you did, I'll beat you to death with two sticks, this unfilial daughter, and save you from doing troubles for me all the time. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Congjun actually wanted to attack Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong looked very cold.
She looked very strangely at this strange man in front of her who had lived with her under the same roof for so many years.
She thought that as a father, he would feel somewhat guilty when they met again.
But Xiao Congjun not only did not feel guilty at all, but he blamed her righteously as soon as they met.
Xiao Hong saw clearly the coldness and selfishness of human nature in her parents. Unfortunately, she also grew up to be the same person as her parents.
She even thought that everyone was selfish.
Because over the years, the people around her haven't given her much warmth.
But these two experiences made Xiao Hong realize that there were people who were different from her and her parents. They made her feel the warm power.
This made her feel a little ashamed.
When she was alone in the courtyard, she thought a lot and found that there was still a little kindness in life.
It's just that her living environment is not good, the people she contacts are not good, and her life is unlucky, so when she was abused and couldn't get rid of it, she also chose the same way and inflicted violence on other people.
In Xiao Hong's life, malice and pain far outweigh those insignificant kindnesses.
Neglected by her parents and bullied by An Ran day after day and year after year, her mind was twisted and she was betrayed by people like An Ran.
In fact, she was trying hard to act like An Ran. Only when she felt that she was the same as An Ran could her inferiority and cowardice be well hidden.
