"President, we've received another call from Xiazhou."
"Old Xu is still as impatient as ever."
The old man sighed and continued flipping through the documents in his hands.
After a moment, the old man handed the document to the short-haired middle-aged man in front of him: "Secretary Yao, you can take a look too."
Secretary Yao nodded, took the document from the old man, and began to carefully examine it.
His face quickly turned gloomy.
"Zhu Yan, Cai Shaoqiang, and Hao Siwu, it really was their doing."
"President, now that we have this irrefutable evidence, should we...?"
The old man raised his hand, shook his head, and said, "Do you know who sent these documents?"
Secretary Yao shook his head. He also sent people to set up an investigation team to investigate the Weibo denunciation incident, but progress was very slow.
"Li Donglai."
"It's him?!"
Secretary Yao's expression turned serious.
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Li Donglai's ability to become the undisputed richest man in both Hua and Xia states is naturally due to his exceptionally ruthless and decisive methods.
Secretary Yao was not surprised at all that the whole matter could be thoroughly investigated in such a short time.
"President, I don't understand, how did this get involved with Li Donglai?"
"Furthermore, the fact that this document has been handed over to the chairman is enough to demonstrate Li Donglai's stance and attitude."
Secretary Yao was somewhat puzzled.
He and the old man had both seen the information about Lin Rui; he had a clean background and was born into an ordinary working-class family.
Therefore, Secretary Yao did not understand why Lin Rui was involved with Li Donglai.
To put it bluntly, the two of them are completely unrelated.
You insist that talent moves capital.
Secretary Yao would only think that the person who said that was stupid and an idiot.
Who is Li Donglai?
The richest man!
He has no shortage of money, and even more so, he has no shortage of elites to help him make money!
For someone like Li Donglai, so-called talent is nothing but a joke.
"At first I didn't understand either, but then I looked through the information and found something interesting."
The old man said with a half-smile, "In Lin Rui's file, there appears to be a young man named Li Mubai."
"Chairman, what do you think of Li Mubai and Li Donglai...?"
The old man interrupted Secretary Yao's speculation: "It's just a guess, don't take it seriously. Li Donglai has been hiding for more than 20 years, and he probably doesn't want too many people to delve into this issue. But judging from his age, it's pretty close to the truth."
"If that's the case, then it makes sense."
Secretary Yao took a deep breath.
"So what's our next step? Should we release this information and clear Lin Rui's name?"
"The Xiazhou side was pressing very hard, and the pianists from various countries were getting impatient. Fortunately, Maestro Christie mediated and managed to calm the pianists down."
"President Xu is also under tremendous pressure."
The old man listened quietly, pondered for a moment, and said, "We don't need to worry about the data. Li Donglai's team will do a better job in that regard."
As he spoke, a sharp glint flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes.
"We just need to express our attitude and stance; you just need to be careful to be tactful."
"Yes, Chairman."
…
That day, an account that all the celebrities in the country keep an eye on posted two Weibo posts in a row.
This account is
——Huaxia Literature and Art Association
In all matters, we must respect the facts, uphold the truth, and proceed from objective reality, ensuring that we speak of reality, observe reality, and act on reality.
Schools must not only educate students but also cultivate their moral character. Students should be able to see through appearances to the essence of things and avoid blindly following trends.
Holy crap!
What's going on?!
The literary world is in complete turmoil!
That's practically pointing a finger at them and saying, "You're all just believing whatever you hear, you're like idiots."
Since Lin Rui published "Bamboo and Stone" on Weibo, the online harassment against him in Huazhou has decreased significantly.
Those knowledgeable people who appreciate calligraphy and painting have spoken out on Weibo, questioning how Lin Rui's simple statement of being busy could be interpreted as disrespect for the Poetry Competition.
Those who have calmed down have also expressed their agreement with this argument.
Even students from many schools have questioned the posts on their campus networks.
They explained that Lin Rui's response was directed at Zhu Yan, not at the Washington state government.
This is a private invitation and a rejection.
As the criticism grew, many colleges in Washington State University simply deleted their Weibo posts denouncing Lin Rui.
Clearly, they also realized that something was wrong.
Following the statement from the Huaxia Literature and Art Association, within just five minutes, all colleges in Huazhou mobilized to immediately remove the Weibo posts questioning Fusheng.
horrible!
State media endorsement!
Just who is this ephemeral life?!
Not only were the people in Huazhou dumbfounded, but even the major investors in Xiazhou were terrified.
"These bastards deserve to be taught a lesson!"
Li Mubai laughed like a child.
Thank you for this time.
Lin Rui only found out by chance that Li Mubai had secretly complained to his family.
He also knew that the Li family must have put in a lot of effort to resolve the matter so quickly.
"Teacher Fusheng, please don't be so polite with me."
Li Mubai was flattered and overwhelmed.
Luo Qi, standing to the side, looked at Li Mubai with doting eyes: "Mr. Li told me that he originally planned to have you return to the company at the end of the year. However, he changed his mind at the last minute."
The first part of what he said almost stunned Li Mubai, but the second part made his heart leap into his throat: "What did my dad say?"
"He told you to learn from Xiao Rui, especially to learn from Xiao Rui's perseverance."
"If you dare to slack off, then you should go home and manage the company properly."
Li Mubai breathed a sigh of relief and said confidently, "Absolutely."
…
A private club in the ancient capital.
This club is not usually open to the public and is rather deserted inside. To enter, you need to have a membership card.
In an elegant room, two beautiful young women dressed in Hanfu were brewing tea.
A middle-aged couple was sitting at the tea table.
At this moment, the door to the private room was gently pushed open by a waiter, and a graceful and charming woman stepped in with a light smile, exuding elegance.
The middle-aged couple immediately stood up to greet him: "President Gong."
"Is it Mr. Lin and Ms. Qi?"
Gong Jing smiled and sat in the main seat: "Please sit down."
After saying that, he looked at the two young women who were brewing tea and said, "We don't need you here anymore."
Soon, only Gong Jing and the middle-aged couple remained in the private room.
"President Gong, you..."
Lin Zhaohui hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
The Lin Group had no business dealings with Li Donglai, so Lin Zhaohui was quite surprised to be invited by Gong Jing.
In particular, Gong Jing specifically requested that the couple attend the appointment together.
"To make a long story short, I called you here to talk to you about life's uncertainties."
Unlike the gradual progression of the adult world, Gong Jing goes straight to the point.
“Fusheng? Mr. Gong, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
Lin Zhaohui's expression changed slightly, but he quickly concealed it.
Qi Xi, standing to the side, lacked Lin Zhaohui's composure, her face alternating between pale and flushed.
"Mr. Lin, there's no need to beat around the bush. Your wife has made her thoughts quite clear."
Gong Jing said something with interest and poured herself a cup of tea.
