Chapter 843: Seeing Hao Tao

What Zhu Sheng said is absolutely correct.

In cultural promotion, we truly lag far behind others.

The West set up things like film festivals and literary awards, and domestic cultural figures immediately rushed over like dogs seeing feces.

They handed over all kinds of oath documents.

They spare no means to slander the land beneath our feet and the people living here.

Our films and literary works always try to speak of our nation's flaws and even magnify our ugly aspects.

On the contrary, everything in the West is beautiful: their upbringing, lifestyle, moral standards, and so on.

This causes us to blindly follow the West; it all stems from a lack of cultural confidence.

Behind the scenes, it's still that group of cultural people who are the main culprits.

Even killing them wouldn't quell our hatred.

In fact, intellectuals have the least backbone, especially contemporary ones.

They are even like foot soldiers and peddlers.

Only when our economy develops, we have money, and we straighten our backs will we regain lost confidence.

Of course, cultural promotion still needs effort; we need to publicize our own good aspects.

Every nation in the world has good and bad aspects; it's just a matter of how we publicize them.

No more nonsense here.

"Zhu Sheng, rest assured, I will absolutely not let him run away with Zhou Jie's money." I said.

Zhu Sheng nodded,

"Right, Hao Tao is still at Qi He Kuang, right?"

"Yeah, he's been recuperating here all along." I said.

"I want to meet him and see what kind of person he is." Zhu Sheng said.

"Okay, let's go see Hao Tao." I stood up.

"Let's see what this guy has actually done for the Wang Family." Zhu Sheng said, stood up, and walked with me.

I quickly brought Zhu Sheng to the car outside.

"Jianqiang, why do we still need to drive there? He doesn't live at Qi He Kuang." Zhu Sheng asked.

"He doesn't live here; first, there are too many people, making exposure easy."

"His place isn't far either; it's just a few minutes by car." I said and started the car.

I drove the car, taking Zhu Sheng out of the mine,

quickly arriving at the east side of Qi He Kuang,

Qi he zhen is divided by the Qi He River into east and west, with Qi He Kuang on the west bank.

Qi he zhen lies on the east bank.

We arrived at the east bank.

We soon arrived in front of a courtyard.

"This is the place." I told Zhu Sheng.

"This place is very hidden. Jianqiang, you're not simple." Zhu Sheng praised me.

I laughed: "This is where I used to live."

"The place where you used to live?" Zhu Sheng asked.

I didn't explain much to Zhu Sheng,

This is exactly where I used to live; it's Xu San's home.

It used to be the town's livestock station.

I once followed Xu San here to castrate pigs.

I was scolded by Xu San's wife here and beaten by his son Huimin.

Later the livestock station was reformed, and Xu San bought the original dormitory.

He has lived here ever since.

I told Xu San that even though he has no children, we should build him a few nice houses,

So he can enjoy a few years of glory in this world.

These houses are the ones I built for Xu San,

And have never been used.

I wanted to detain Hao Tao at Qi He Kuang, fearing word would leak,

So I thought of Xu San's old house. I then had Ding Li tidy it up.

Bring Hao Tao here to keep him under watch.

This can also be considered his recuperation.

I never expected this idle house to actually serve this purpose.

I had already asked Xiao Feng to notify the security staff in advance.

I knocked on the door, and someone immediately came to open it.

A chubby guard looked at me,

then greeted me: "Chairman Zhao, hello."

I nodded at him, then brought Zhu Sheng into the large courtyard.

The courtyard was very clean,

with some flowers cultivated.

There is also a lounge chair; it seems Hao Tao often comes out to bask in the sun.

I pushed open the door and walked in,

Hao Tao was having a hanging needle attached.

When he saw us come in, he immediately tried to stand up to show his feelings.

The Nurse signaled him not to get agitated.

After the Nurse finished attaching the needle for him,

she said to us, "The patient is still in the recovery period; we can't have prolonged conversation, nor let him become agitated."

I nodded at the Nurse,

the Nurse took the item and went into another room.

I assigned a doctor and a Nurse specifically for Hao Tao, to take care of him.

Because his heart injury is severe,

it was Dean Yang who rescued him, and although his life was saved,

he now needs to take medicine for life and requires ongoing treatment.

So now, even if I try to drive Hao Tao away, he doesn't leave, because outside there is only a dead end for him, no other way out.

Hao Tao looked at me and Zhu Sheng,

they said nothing, and tears also fell,

"Zhao Ge, I heard that you, to save my life, even donated blood yourself.

I am so grateful to you.

If you have any request, just tell me."

I waved my hand and said, "Hao Tao, don't get agitated.

I have no request; just focus on recuperating. At that time, you simply didn't listen to me."

"Alas, Zhao Ge, stop talking.

They are too ruthless.

I thought,

I had served the Wang Family for so long, and laundered so much of their money; I was a meritorious person.

How could they kill me?

I was mistaken; I was too naive.

After I contacted Wang Ge,

he told me to wait at the hotel, and soon sent someone to pick me up.

Who could have imagined that the person he sent was a killer.

After entering the room and asking my name,

he drew his gun and shot.

"Alas, Zhao Ge, I really have to thank you for giving me a second life." Hao Tao's emotions were still very agitated.

I said to Hao Tao, "Hao Tao, don't get too agitated; the Nurse just said your body hasn't fully recovered.

This is Zhu Sheng; after hearing about you, he came specially to see you."

I introduced Zhu Sheng to Hao Tao,

Zhu Sheng looked at Hao Tao gently and said, "Little Hao, don't get agitated, sit down quickly.

I heard about your case from Jianqiang.

Alas, you are too young, too easily trust others.

How long have you been studying abroad?

Hao Tao hurriedly sat down,

Hao Tao said, "Zhu Sheng, I've heard of you. Wang Ge once talked about you in front of me, saying people like you are rare.

If everyone had stuck to principles, our situation wouldn't have turned out like this. Zhu Sheng, I studied abroad for seven years."

Zhu Sheng, hearing Hao Tao's words, smiled,

and prepared to take out a cigarette,

at this moment, the Nurse came out of the room,

with a serious expression said, "The patient must not smell any smoke now; smoking is strictly prohibited."

Zhu Sheng quickly put the cigarette back away,

"Don't take it, don't take it, Nurse sister, don't be angry."

"Zhu Sheng, we'll go out to smoke later," I said to Zhu Sheng.

"Alright, Jianqiang, this isn't urgent. Hao Tao has been outside for so long; can you tell me specifically what you can do for the Wang Family?" Zhu Sheng asked.

Hao Tao glanced at the IV drip,

then let out a long sigh,

"Zhu Sheng, I specifically work as a legal consulting advisor at the auction exchange.

At first, Wang Ge approached me,

because my hometown is Sijiucheng.

My father knows them.

Then they tried to win me over,

I thought, being abroad, not making money would be foolish.

so I agreed to cooperate with them.

Not only do I cooperate, I also contact other people to handle this matter together,

How to auction the treasure, how to legalize smuggled goods.

Also, when trading, how to launder the money.

Make their income legal.

Because I am abroad just learning these things.

Everything should be reasonable, fully lawful tax avoidance, to launder money.

In foreign countries, they have all kinds of laws, very sound,

Actually these laws are just protecting the rich.
