Chen Yanping opened his mouth, but said nothing. He thought to himself that he didn't understand anything as a student, and it was common for him to make mistakes. But Jiang Yiyao didn't seem to like his thoughts, so she didn't dare to explain it anymore.

Jiang Yiyao seemed to see what was on his mind, and said, "If you don't look for trouble, things will look for you." It's not because you're really doing something wrong, it's that someone just loves to find trouble. ”

At this point, it seems that the debate is about to be decided.

Guangming said loudly and weakly: "Professor Jia is so patriotic, do you mean that patriotism is very blind?

Xu Xinqi, a good gentleman who has always been a big situation and a light person, can no longer bear this kind of nonsense at this time, stomped his right foot forward, supported his waist with both hands, and tried his best to restrain himself from causing physical conflicts. He was extremely angry, and thus made witty remarks: "Patriotism is not the same as sticking to the old ways!" At the speech yesterday, some people also explained very clearly that the Chinese are willing to learn all ideas of practical value, and being tolerant and broad is also an excellent character worthy of our pride and inheritance. When you express the viewpoint that only by returning to orthodoxy can China be saved, you seem to be very proud of your own civilization, but in fact you are fundamentally inferior! You have knowledge, judgment, and perceptiveness, and you must have felt the comfort and enjoyment that modern civilization has brought to our lives. But all this that the West has, it will be difficult to catch up for a while. Because our awakening is more than a hundred years late, it will take us more sweat to catch up. But you refuse to do this, perhaps because you feel that the gap is staggering and it is too difficult to catch up, or maybe you are unwilling to let go of the arrogance of the Heavenly Empire in the past, so you simply deceive yourself!"

The neighborhoods in the French Concession were almost white, so they listened with relish and applauded from time to time.

Xu Xinqi seemed very satisfied with his eloquence, nodded his chin confidently, and then questioned: "To put it simply, are you willing to promise not to take the tram or train from today onwards, and to rely only on livestock for the rest of your life? If you can't make a promise, it means that you can't do without the new material civilization from the West." Besides, I don't think your company is willing to give up telegrams and telephones and hire manpower to deliver news, right?"

After asking, everyone laughed in unison.

Jiang Yiyao listened the most, and at this time she was already laughing until she hugged her stomach and screamed. She raised her eyebrows at Chen Yanping, signaling him to learn more like Xu Xinqi.

Chen Yanping was also laughing, scratching his scalp, in addition to admiration, there was also a trace of guilt on his face. is neither humble nor arrogant, it should be the case for both the country and the people. And he only did half of it, and the other half was still lacking.

Over there, the light has been completely dumbfounded. With a red face, his facial features are twisted and almost deformed, but the big mouth is just exhaling, and he can't talk at all.

Xu Xinqi's expression was a little sad, and because he was puzzled, he asked more and more harshly: "Your life and work have been so convenient by modern civilization, why do you still advocate the people to blindly xenophobia, why don't you let your compatriots enjoy modern life with you?!"

When Chen Yanping heard this, he also felt that he should not have unthinkingly ended the controversy with unilateral concessions at first. Combined with various phenomena today and in the past, he almost had a negative evaluation of Jia Qianzhong. He put one hand on his chest, the other hand on his neck and stroked back and forth, and suddenly asked in a loud voice to the front: "Mr. Guangming, you are looking for our Director Xu theory, is it your personal intention, or is Professor Jia himself dissatisfied with yesterday's report?"

Guangming said without thinking: "Of course I want to come by myself." ”

"That's right. Jiang Yiyao sneered and nodded repeatedly, "The Professor Jia I know is knowledgeable, humble and polite, and quite Confucian, and will never hold a grudge and provoke because of different views." If you are really a supporter of the old man, don't push him into a dilemma. ”

A quarrel came and went quickly, the outcome was decided, and everyone dispersed. At this time, Chen Yanping realized that Li Fengzhu had been lost, and hurriedly asked who saw where she went. Everyone said they didn't pay attention, and some people didn't even see her at all. But Uncle Ji blinked proudly, grinned to reveal his empty and loose gums, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can't run." It must have been two big teeth that fell out for me! Ever since the Toyo soldiers went to the old building to smash it, she ran away when she saw me, but she'll be back soon. By the time she came back, I had a cigarette. After saying that, he laughed.

Everyone did not doubt him, and laughed all the way back to the newspaper office.

Chen Yanping showed the newspaper to Xu Xinqi for the first time, and naturally got an absolutely positive answer, this person is the manager of Dongxing Building.

Xu Xinqi was extremely excited, slapped the table and jumped up, and said with a smile on his face: "Everything can be explained! When I inquired about the truth before, I found that Manager Jin's name is not known to everyone. If this person is fine, why should a name be hidden? In this case, I will immediately call the emergency number of the Shanghai Pavilion here and explain the incident in detail. Chen Jun, don't be idle, run to the post office for me, and send this newspaper to Haizhou urgently. This clue is too important, I don't dare to make an assertion, and I must let the Shanghai Pavilion carefully study the original before making a decision. ”

When Chen Yanping heard that he wanted to ask for the consent of the Haizhou General Library, he knew that this clue was very likely to change his personal and even the future of the entire newspaper. It's exciting to see how many people get so close to the summit of a mountain like this, especially in these difficult times of starvation, when many well-educated people of insight are waiting to pray for the favor of fate, from youth to old age, and then quietly disappear into the vast land. At this moment, Chen Yanping is very sure that he will not end up in obscurity, never.

Although his guess about his own ending is correct, it is not a consummation of ripening melons, but only a kind of desolation of autumn wind and falling leaves.

When Li Fengzhu stabilized his emotions and returned to the newspaper office, Chen Yanping had already set off for nearly a quarter of an hour, and Xu Xinqi had almost finished reporting to the Shanghai Pavilion. Only then did she learn that the original copy of Kawashima's report needed to be sent to the Shanghai Pavilion, and her first reaction was that she thought that this was unnecessary. Because the influence of the East in Haizhou is not small, it is not a wise decision to pass through a large number of port cities threatened by the East military force on the way, and there are many long nights and dreams.

Xu Xinqi took out the cigarette in his pocket, lit it and smoked most of it, before slowly turning his eyes to the editor-in-chief's office.

Although he only has one look, how can Li Fengzhu not understand it, this is to be wary of his own people is far more wary than of the enemy. With such a shocking revelation, it is impossible to bypass the editor-in-chief in terms of procedure and publish it without authorization. But Wang Fuchun must be afraid of things and reluctant to approve, and he will even go to consult the group of fox friends who get along with the Orientals and ask them to help with the details. In that case, the result would be that the truth would not be revealed, and the Oriental Consulate would be more and more vigilant against the Ta Kung Pao Pavilion. They have already been destroyed once, except for the name of a newspaper, which has almost started from scratch in the French Concession, and if there is another blow, I am afraid that they will have to close down and flee. The original way around the Shanghai Pavilion is not safe, but it is also the only way out in desperation.

But who would have thought that Chen Yanping would never come back.

The cadres of Ta Kung Pao began to feel that things were very bad from the morning. Because Chen Yanping has always been cautious, and after taking on such a major task, no matter whether it goes smoothly or not, he will definitely come back to give an explanation. So, everyone went out to find it. The officer at the French Concession post office told them that a young man with glasses had said he was going to send an express packet. Halfway through the address, two men in silk coats with short statures came in for him. The young man who sent the letter was very resistant, and when he could see that something was going on, the messenger came up to ask him, and the young man said that he did not need help.

Following this clue, everyone immediately thought that someone should be making trouble. As a result, almost the entire Jinmen guard's connections were alarmed, and I found out that the two people with five short statures were disguised as Oriental spies.

At that time, it had been twenty hours since Chen Yanping was half-invited and half-forced to Haiguang Temple, and the situation was already very critical.

Inside and outside Wang Fuchun's office, colleagues eager to rescue Chen Yanping were surrounded. In the company, only Wang Fuchun's speech in the Japanese concession has considerable weight, and it involves the personal safety of employees, so he should be held responsible.

But Wang Fuchun is obviously more concerned about what happened before Chen Yanping's arrest, and if he doesn't make this clear, he will never give up face to plead. Xu Xinqi didn't need to connect with Li Fengzhu in advance, they knew the real reason and couldn't say it, as soon as they said it, Wang Fuchun might only make it clear that he had nothing to do with the matter, and he would not convey the intention of asking for release at all. When asked about Li Fengzhu, she shook her head and said that maybe it would be better to ask Director Xu. Xu Xinqi said that Chen Yanping was very interested in the anecdote of the Oriental army breaking through gender restrictions and promoting women to generals.

Wang Fuchun knew that this reason was unreliable, because it could not explain why Chen Yanping went to the post office.

Jiang Yiyao invited the representative from the Shanghai Pavilion to come forward, and he came forward to put pressure on Wang Fuchun to fulfill his duties as the editor-in-chief. Wang Fuchun vaguely knew that everyone had a tacit understanding, and this tacit understanding had excluded him, and he might be one of the few newspapers in Tianjin and Shanghai who didn't know why Chen Yanping offended the Orientals. Therefore, although the promise is a promise, on the grounds that face-to-face negotiations are more effective, the whole day is gone.

This is a silent signal that means the collapse of the management of the Tsukan.

However, during this period, almost no one talked about the impending turmoil within the newspaper, and the common wish of all the members was that Chen Yanping would return safely. Xu Xinqi was very remorseful at the moment, he regretted that he should not have unrealistic hopes for Wang Fuchun at all, and immediately turned around and ran out to find another way. However, the reply he received from both the military and political circles was completely unanimous, and the Oriental side was determined to deal with Chen Yanping severely, and it was fortunate that the matter did not expand into a diplomatic issue. Mr. Xu, who had never been so fiery as he smashed his teacup, angrily said that the diplomats of the East were so arrogant that they attributed everything that didn't go their way to destroying friendly relations and constantly exerting pressure to meet all kinds of excessive demands. However, Toyo never mentions their brutality in the Northeast, which is enough to regress human civilization to primitive society.
