Chapter 0440: The World Cup Effect (2)
Zhou Jingming is not clear about the controversy in China for the time being, and after a day of shopping in Milan, the group dragged their tired bodies back to the hotel.
"Is there anything else you want to go?" Zhou Jingming sat next to He Yingqing and asked with a smile.
"But aren't you going back tomorrow?" He Yingqing tilted her head and opened her teeth lightly.
"That's right, but if you want to stay a few more days, I can also accompany you, it's a big deal to let Daxun and them go back first, anyway, they have always been in charge of the things at the factory. Zhou Jingming took He Yingqing's hand and said with a smile.
"Let's go back first, the work is important, didn't you say that the branch factory in Gusu City is going to open for production, you are the boss of the company, how can you not go to such an important matter?" He Yingqing smiled and shook her head, "Besides, we have all been to the places to go in Milan, and I don't think there is anything to visit." ”
On this day, Zhou Jingming took her to the famous Milan Cathedral, enjoyed a singing opera in La Scala Theater, and went to the Brera Art Museum to receive artistic edification.
"That's okay, then let's wait until we get married this year, and then I will accompany you to the world to have a look, take you on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and see all the great rivers and mountains in the world. ”
"Are you really going to marry me?" He Yingqing suddenly stared at Zhou Jingming's eyes and asked with some uneasiness.
"Then what do you say, I have proposed marriage, and you have agreed, is it possible that you want to regret it?" Zhou Jingming stretched out his right hand, touched He Yingqing's soft hair, and asked with a smile.
"But I always feel that I don't deserve you, I don't seem to know anything, and I can't help anything with the company's affairs......" He Yingqing lowered her head, when the two first met, they were still at the same level, but as Zhou Jingming's career became bigger and bigger, He Yingqing felt more and more that the distance between the two seemed to be getting farther and farther, which made her feel very uneasy.
"What do you think about you!" Zhou Jingming pinched her cute nose, "Am I so superficial? You just have to teach your husband and children at home, I just face the wind and rain outside, if you want to say that you are not worthy, I have always felt that I am not worthy of you." ”
…………
"Otherwise, if you like Milan, let's hold a Western-style wedding at the Milan Cathedral, do you think so?" Zhou Jingming suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but say excitedly.
"It's still in China, Milan is too far away, and it's inconvenient for relatives and friends. He Yingqing tilted her head and thought about it, in her bones, she is still a very traditional girl, and for such an important matter as marriage, of course, it is best to have relatives and friends present to witness.
The two chatted late, and Zhou Jingming returned to his room, in the eighties and nineties, unmarried cohabitation was considered a kind of moral degradation, so whether at home or out, Zhou Jingming lived separately from her.
The next morning, the group took a flight to China, ending this short World Cup trip, and at this time, the domestic Tianming Automobile Company's sky-high sponsorship of the Italian World Cup, has become more and more intense, the media and newspapers and the domestic people are even divided into two factions, "pro-Zhou faction" and "anti-Zhou faction", "pro-Zhou faction" supports Zhou Jingming's approach, and "anti-Zhou faction" expresses resolute opposition to this sponsorship.
The "pro-Zhou faction" believes that the money is earned by Tianming Automobile Company itself, and they have the freedom to decide how to Huai'an, and they can appear in the World Cup, which is to give China's auto industry a long face and help improve the status of the domestic auto industry in the world.
However, the "reverse Zhou faction" has carried out a confrontational refutation, believing that Zhou Jingming is a typical extravagance and waste, and would rather spend money on foreigners than in the country to promote domestic economic growth, and there is a suspicion of "forgetting the ancestors".
The controversy between the two sides has even shifted from the people to the open, and there have been back-and-forth polemics in the newspapers, each side quoting scriptures and classics, so lively that many neutrals are fascinated by it.
By the time Zhou Jingming and his entourage returned to Shencheng, it was already June 12th, and four full days had passed since the end of the opening ceremony of the World Cup, and the domestic debate had just begun.
The next day after returning to China, Zhou Jingming came to the office as usual, and on the desk, there was a local newspaper in Shencheng neatly, and every morning, the secretary Xiao Ni would help Zhou Jingming subscribe to the newspaper.
Zhou Jingming made a cup of tea, and while drinking tea, he roughly flipped through the main content of the newspaper, and was just about to put down the newspaper and enter the working state, but the corner of his eye inadvertently caught a glimpse of the title of the education section, "TV Debate Competition: Is the sky-high sponsorship fee of Tianming Automobile Company reasonable?"
Zhou Jingming was shocked, he had just returned to China, and the domestic affairs were not very clear, how to sponsor the World Cup, it had reached the level of debating on TV?
"Recently, the high-priced sponsorship of the Italian World Cup by Tianming Automobile Company has become the focus of everyone's attention, and the debate between the 'anti-Zhou faction' and the 'pro-Zhou faction' has intensified, and it has reached the point of competition...... This Saturday at 7 p.m., Shencheng Educational Television will use this focus issue as the topic of debate, and invite college students from Shencheng to participate in the debate......"
"What's the situation, why did there still emerge from the pro-Zhou faction and the anti-Zhou faction?" The more Zhou Jingming looked down, the more surprised he felt in his heart, this matter seemed to have exceeded his expectations.
After putting down the newspaper, Zhou Jingming picked up the newspaper on the table from the previous day and looked at it carefully, from the day before yesterday to the present, the debate on this matter in the newspaper has not stopped!
"What started with this?" Zhou Jingming simply stood up and muttered in a low voice.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jingming made a phone call and called his secretary Xiao Ni over.
"Xiao Ni, when did the controversy over our company's sponsorship of the World Cup come about?" After the secretary came, Zhou Jingming hurriedly asked.
"Mr. Zhou, I was about to tell you about it, the day after the opening ceremony of the World Cup, everything was fine, many people thought that we were defending the country and winning glory, but from the second day, there were criticisms, and then it intensified, many people even scolded us as traitors, saying that we earned our own country's money, but spent it on foreigners......"
The secretary said while observing Zhou Jingming's face.
