Chapter Forty-Six: Here and Now, That Time
"Tactics? Stratagem? ”
Qu Ning was a little puzzled, a simple oppression and exploitation, could it be that there was any other way?
"Yes."
Zheng Yufeng nodded, took a sip of the teacup and said slowly:
"Let me ask you a simple question, why does Twilight Star insist on building this orphanage when she has no money?"
"It's... To be honest, my understanding of this is that they just don't want to pay for it, because it doesn't really benefit them. ”
Qu Ning thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said his true thoughts.
In this regard, Zheng Yufeng just smiled:
"Then you're wrong, if there is no actual benefit, they will not do such a thing at all, so it's not that there is no benefit, it's just that you don't see it."
"Please also ask Secretary Zheng to solve your doubts." Qu Ning said respectfully.
Zheng Yufeng took out a newspaper and put it in front of Qu Ning: "I know that you young people don't read newspapers anymore, but in fact, newspapers are the root of media people, and the rich amount of information it contains is incomparable to fragmented online media, so I suggest that you should read more newspapers if you have time, which is good for you." ”
Qu Ning took the newspaper and looked at the news on the front page suspiciously, first falling into deep thought, and soon showing a sudden realization.
"Caoshi will hold the next global cultural and artistic exchange conference, and the world's largest complex venue is planned to be built"
Seeing this title, Qu Ning thought of something, and when he read the content carefully, he said in surprise: "Twilight wants to get involved?" ”
"That's right." Zheng Yufeng saw that Qu Ning quickly guessed the stakes, and nodded with satisfaction:
"Just running for the world's largest four words, there are so many construction companies in the country, who doesn't want to participate?
It's impossible for Twilight Star to dominate, but as long as you can put a name on it, it's already a great honor, so this orphanage is really just a dessert to lead to the main course.
This is to label yourself as a conscientious enterprise, brush up on the national favorability, and second, to use it as a gift to please the leaders of Cao City and open the door to convenience.
So, it's not that they don't have money, but they plan to cut down as much as they can on the orphanage, and they happen to catch a person who has won a huge prize, and they treat him as a big wrongdoer. ”
Qu Ning's face didn't look so good, if it weren't for Zheng Yufeng's guidance, he might not have been able to connect the two even if he learned that Twilight Star was going to participate in the construction of the venue.
This made him fully aware of his own shortcomings and short-sightedness.
Seeing that Qu Ning seemed a little lost, Zheng Yufeng did not continue to educate him, but encouraged:
"Don't be too disappointed, compared to others of your age, you have done your best, what I am talking about should actually be something that you will only be able to comprehend for yourself in another twenty or thirty years."
"No, Secretary Zheng, I really have a lot to learn, you don't have to comfort me, I hope you can also ask me with such standards in the future, I will definitely improve."
Qu Ning was suddenly a little ashamed, he thought that Zheng Yufeng was giving him prestige at first, but he didn't expect that the other party was really trying to teach him something new.
"Actually, you can't see these things now, it's also a good thing, you organized them to force Wang Tiande to donate, it may damage their reputation, maybe it will hurt their bones, but it won't hurt their roots, and they won't target you too much."
Zheng Yufeng paused, and then said:
"This road doesn't work, they can have other ways, but if you expose their most fundamental purpose, it is equivalent to sealing off all their roads, then you have to think carefully about how to live in the future.
Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing your parents, I think you should understand this truth. ”
"So what you say..."
Qu Ning gritted his teeth unwillingly and said:
"Just let them go on like this? It's just a company that has just established itself and dares to oppress the people like this, if it really makes it stronger, then what's the point? ”
Zheng Yufeng seemed to be intrigued by Qu Ning's words, and asked with interest, "So what are you going to do?" ”
"I want to expose them all and let everyone see what they look like."
Qu Ning replied very seriously.
Zheng Yufeng just shook his head: "It's too early for you." ”
"Too early? So when will it be? ”
Faced with Qu Ning's question, Zheng Yufeng did not answer, but turned around, took a photo frame on the desk and handed it to Qu Ning.
"Look at it."
Qu Ning took the photo frame and looked at the photo inside.
At that time, Zheng Yufeng was still very young, wearing a very popular Zhongshan suit in the eighties of the last century, looking polite and very energetic.
Next to him was a young and beautiful girl, whose eyes were like a clear spring, clear and bright, and full of vitality.
"Secretary Zheng, you were really heroic at that time, and your wife was also gentle and moving, and she looked talented and beautiful at first glance."
Qu Ning unconsciously automatically triggered Rainbowfart's passive skill.
And Zheng Yufeng, who just said that he likes the real thing, when he heard Qu Ning praise the girl in the photo, his brows unconsciously stretched, and the smile in the corners of his eyes couldn't be hidden at all.
A flash of remembrance flashed in his eyes:
"Do you know about undercover reporters?"
"I know, it's like... It's dangerous. Qu Ning thought about the memories of undercover reporters in his mind, and always felt that the dangers around these people were not much less than those of undercover policemen.
"I used to be an undercover correspondent."
Zheng Yufeng said indifferently:
"From undercover reporters, to hosts, to producers, all the way to being one step away from the director, and finally coming here to start as the head of information again."
"Wow! You've almost been a director? ”
Qu Ning was shocked, and suddenly remembered something.
He recalled it carefully, this big guy seems to have said that he had participated in the production of approaching science before, right?
So where he is, it seems to be self-evident.
Hiss... Qu Ning gasped, this Secretary Zheng is too big, right?
"Hehe, I'm not here to show you my resume."
Seeing that Qu Ning was dumbfounded, Zheng Yufeng smiled and signaled him not to be nervous:
"I want to say that my wife has passed away."
Belch... Why did the topic suddenly become inexplicably heavy...
Qu Ning didn't know how to answer.
But Zheng Yufeng didn't seem to wait for him to answer, lowered his head and stroked the photo frame, and said to himself in a somewhat depressed tone:
"I used to be the same as you, I was not afraid of heaven and earth, not long after I started working, I became an undercover reporter for the justice in my heart, and at the beginning, I did expose a lot of chaos.
But in those days... Alas.
As time passed, I offended more people.
Later, my lover died, and I don't know what the reason was, that year, I stopped being an undercover reporter.
Because I understand that I have no power, and no matter how much I am exposed, not only will I not be able to change anything, but I will even lose important people and things.
From that time on, I decided that I would climb up step by step, because I would not only insist on the righteousness in my heart, but also protect the people around me.
It's just that... When I really stood in front of the power I was seeking, I found that I had no sharpness.
So, I chose to leave. ”
