Chapter 188: A Victim of Opposites?
The bruises on his face seemed to have become his different medals at this time, at least in Zhao Zhongyi's eyes.
Now that he has the medal, he naturally wants to show it, at least in his mind, only in this way will he not suffer in vain.
That's why he appeared in front of the beautiful girl in a school uniform opposite, without too much telling and no accusations.
Just showed the bruises on his face clearly, and the reaction of the girl on the other side did not disappoint him, only to hear the girl say in surprise.
"This is what Xiao Tu asked people to beat?"
In the face of the girl's surprised appearance, although Zhao Zhongyi knew in his heart that the goal he wanted had been achieved, he still did not show the joy in his heart.
He just nodded a little sneeringly, and then said in a somewhat indignant tone.
"Who else but him? Nowadays, among these students, there are very few who do not participate in the activities of the Student Federation, and only Na Xiaotu is the only one who publicly makes pro-Japanese remarks. ”
"The long-distance trading company he runs is not less than doing business with Dongying people, and making money from Dongying people is not a traitor, what is it?"
"I just went and asked him a few words, and he told someone to beat me like this, he was a complete traitor."
And such words didn't seem to make Fang Min completely believe it, but the doubts in her heart were even worse.
Xiao Tu in his memory is not what he is now, or he was not like this before the trip to the south.
How did he change after a year and a half when he came back?
At first, she didn't go back to their house, and some of the things she did later made her even more confused.
He studied with the well-known pro-Japanese faction and started a long-distance trading company that had business contacts with the Dongying people, and now he has published an article of high value but with a clear orientation.
You must know that Fang Min and others studied literature, but even so, this economic article can be known to them, so the scope of its dissemination can be imagined.
After all, it is rare for the domestic "Shanghai Daily" and Dongying's "Dongying Economic Daily" to publish economic articles mentioned at the same time.
Even though some scholars in China are scolding the conclusion of this article as too arbitrary and unethical, none of those scholars do not recognize the value of it.
Because some arguments and places of reflection can allow them to reflect on and improve the economic situation of the two countries.
On Dongying's side, it seems that the repercussions of this article are even more violent, but unfortunately this is no longer something that Fang Min and others can understand.
It's just that the domestic criticism and controversy about this article have not stopped, and the value can be seen.
After all, there are many articles with crooked butts in this era, but this article can cause such an uproar, this one is unique.
It is precisely because of this that some scholars, perhaps intentionally, that many of their students began to criticize "Xiao Tu".
They don't know how well the article is written, they don't know what the arguments of the article are for, they just know that the author is not a "patriotic" person, at least it seems like this.
Since it's right to scold him like this, no matter how powerful that person is, young people at this age only know that those who are not patriotic are not good people.
This is also where Ning Yuan appreciates this era, because although the reaction of these students is immature, that heart is often the place where the nation can inherit.
Perhaps future generations do not need such a fierce reaction, but in this era, such a national feeling is truly rare.
Even if the person who was scolded was Ning Yuan himself, he wanted this effect, and even deliberately added fuel to the fire.
So now, it seems that there is a kind of sentiment among the student group that you don't scold "Xiao Tu" and you are not worthy of patriotism.
And Fang Min must have felt uncomfortable seeing her familiar "Xiao Tu" being scolded like this, so she went back and asked her father.
She wondered if "Xiao Tu" had really become a complete "traitor" as others said.
But when she asked her father Fang Hanzhou, she also didn't get an answer.
It seems that his father doesn't know what "Xiao Tu" is doing now?
However, his father patiently explained the content of the article "Xiao Tu" to him, and said it objectively.
"Maybe the conclusion is a bit arbitrary, but the basis and reason can really make people reflect, but it's a pity that this article has become a victim of opposition in this era."
And Fang Min, who got the explanation, naturally also has a new understanding of "Xiao Tu", at least his childhood sweetheart is not a complete "traitor" as outsiders say.
It is precisely because of this that when she talked about this matter with a few people close to her, she couldn't help but defend "Xiao Tu" a few words.
And her statement is rightfully contradicted by those close to her.
After all, not everyone knows "Xiao Tu", or the name "Xiao Tu" has become synonymous with the group of "traitors".
Among them, the most violent reaction was of course Zhao Zhongyi, when he heard Fang Min talk about the different emotions when he talked about "Xiao Tu", his reaction would naturally be violent.
In fact, Zhao Zhongyi is still jealous of "Xiao Tu", who has become a traitor, because whether it is his teacher or the learned elders in his family.
There may be resistance or praise for the article of "Xiao Tu", but no matter which one it is, no one denies the talent of "Xiao Tu".
In the past six months, Xiao Tu used the legend left by his long-distance trading company in the business community in Shanghai that others may not know, but Zhao Zhongyi, who has elders in the family who are engaged in business, must know.
At about his age, when he was still being beaten in order to become the center of the school, he organized the activities of the student federation and even was beaten in the parade, "Xiao Tu" had already become a popular figure in the whole of Shanghai.
Even the elders in his family didn't dare to offend too much, how could such a gap make Zhao Zhongyi feel refreshed?
Therefore, the formation of a trend of scolding "Xiao Tu" as a traitor among the student group, he has made no less efforts.
After all, there are some places where he can't compare to "Xiao Tu", but he also has his own ways to make this influential figure of the same age deflated.
But now, even with such an argument, Fang Min, who he likes or wants to like, can still stand up and speak for Xiao Tu.
The anger in his heart was naturally even worse, so he deliberately went to "Xiao Tu" to deliberately provoke an incident, and then let "Xiao Tu" beat himself, and then "unintentionally" let Fang Min discover his scars.
He just wanted Fang Min to see what kind of person "Xiao Tu" was.
And his move didn't seem to make Fang Min completely believe it, but it was enough, because under this trend, it doesn't matter whether "Xiao Tu" is a traitor or not, because he will be one day.
And what kind of fruit can be produced by the seeds of doubt is not something that Zhao Zhongyi can manage now.
Anyway, what he could have done had already been done.
