Chapter 1033: Poked a Ma Feng's Nest

"Let's go!" Seeing that Jian Qiu had finished tidying up, Zhou Andong turned and walked out: "I estimate Old Zhang is waiting anxiously."

Because there was no flight from Yangcheng to Quancheng yesterday, Zhang Shenghui was only leaving today.

After leaving the room, he knocked on the door of Wu Hongkang's room next door.

"Coming!"

Old Wu's shout came from inside, and immediately after, the door opened.

Old Wu came out, and he didn't expect Old Zhang to be in his room, carrying his suitcase behind him.

"You two are truly full of gay feelings, inseparable."

There wasn't such a saying as "gay feelings" at this time, but Zhang Shenghui reflexively thought that anything said from Zhou Andong's mouth definitely wasn't a good word.

"Look at what time it is; I've been waiting for you at Old Wu's place for almost an hour."

"There's enough time; as long as we make it, it's fine." Zhou Andong rolled his eyes: "Why go to the airport so early?"

"Let's go, let's go!" Wu Hongkang hurriedly smoothed things over: "If we don't go, we'll really be late."

The four people left the hotel and got into the business car arranged by the organizer, heading straight for the airport.

After sending Zhang Shenghui onto the plane, Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu wanted to stroll around everywhere.

Old Wu went back to the hotel by himself; he didn't want to be an annoying lightbulb.

When Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu arrived at the place where the uniforms and the vendor had clashed yesterday, Jian Qiu was still a bit worried.

"I don't know how that couple is doing."

Zhou Andong said: "Didn't you give her your business card? Since they haven't contacted us, it should have been resolved."

"I hope so." Jian Qiu sighed.

"This heart of yours is so busy." Zhou Andong shook his head helplessly: "If you run into it, help out; if it's passed, it's passed. Do you want to manage it for a lifetime?"

Jian Qiu didn't want to anymore, pulled Zhou Andong into a taxi: "Shahe Clothing Wholesale Market."

Zhou Andong asked in confusion: "What are you going to the clothing wholesale market for?"

Jian Qiu said: "I heard it's very lively there, and the clothes are also very cheap, so let's go take a look."

"Fine!" Zhou Andong didn't have anywhere else to go, so if his wife said to go somewhere, then they would go there.

………………

Wu Hongkang returned to the hotel. Being alone in the room was boring, so he sat in the lobby rest area and picked up a newspaper.

Flipping through it, he suddenly saw a bolded title: "National Traitor, Zhou Andong!"

"Hmm?" Wu Hongkang was just about to flip past it, but flipped back.

"Zhou Andong is a national traitor. Talking big about the Western threat is simply nonsense. I've said it many times: the United States takes democracy and human rights as its foundation, freedom of speech, smooth information, advanced technology, developed productivity, and sufficient medical resources. Isn't this a fact?"

"Is it so hard to admit that others are excellent? We must learn from Western culture and systems to be strong, instead of just talking about a strong country and prosperous people."

"Look at what is written on the American passport: No matter which corner of the world you are in, the powerful United States of America is always your strong backing."

"As a comparison, look at what is written on our passport: China requests the military and political organs of all countries to provide the bearer with passage convenience and necessary assistance."

"See that? Being born in a powerful country, no matter where the citizens are in the world, they are full of confidence and self-assurance. A businessman like Zhou Andong, who is foul-smelling, is not worthy of being Chinese."

"Inciting confrontation between China and the West, hindering reform and opening up, hindering national development, he is a sinner, a disgrace to the people of the whole country. I call on the people of the whole country to boycott all products of the Yugong Group."

"Jiang Xiaobai, Yugong Liquor, Iced Black Tea, and Very Cola—resolutely do not buy. We cannot let our money be earned by such a scourge, harming our nation, harming our country..."

This article was nearly ten thousand words long, with the whole piece blowing about how good the West was and cursing Zhou Andong as a traitor. Wu Hongkang's eyebrows jumped; one reason was anger, and the second was the premonition that Zhou Andong had encountered big trouble.

Wu Hongkang looked at the author's name: Xie Fusheng!

Immediately after, he continued to flip through, and then on the front page, he saw another article: "A Mouse Dropping Must Not Ruin a Pot of Porridge!"

"Recently, entrepreneurs from both sides of the strait and three places gathered in Yangcheng to discuss grand plans and conduct comprehensive exchanges on how to grasp the great opportunities of the motherland's development in the new era."

"It injected strong momentum into reform and opening up and also brought opportunities for Yangcheng and Guangdong Province's economy to reach a higher level. But during this period, a certain businessman in the country made remarks that shocked me."

"Our country is at a critical period of economic transformation, and the whole country is working hard on reform and attracting investment. But a certain businessman is alarmist, engaging in confrontation between China and the West. This person must be harboring evil intentions, destroying the great situation of our country's reform and opening up..."

"Don't talk about our culture; I don't deny that our five thousand years of culture are brilliant, but after five thousand years, even the most brilliant light will dim with the long river of time."

"And the most general meaning of culture is tolerance; the sea is vast because it accepts all rivers. The widest thing in the world is the ocean, and what is wider than the ocean is the sky, and what is wider than the sky is a person's heart."

"Why do we often think of 'taking a step back and the sea and sky are vast'? Because the ocean is vast and boundless; it accommodates many kinds of creatures in the world, and some of us are precisely lacking this vast and broad heart of the ocean."

"Tolerance is a kind of wisdom, a kind of bearing. Tolerance is a kind of cultivation, a kind of realm. Heaven and earth are wide, but the vulgar are narrow-minded. A person with a narrow heart must be a person with many taboos and a paranoid temperament."

"The combination of Eastern culture and Western culture can form world culture. This tolerance transcends the boundaries of country, language, nation, and civilization. Tolerance is a virtue possessed and praised by all the people of this beautiful planet."

"The world needs China, and China also needs the world. The consequences of closing the country are unimaginable. Therefore, we must be vigilant against certain people who use patriotic remarks as a cover to actually harm the country and the people."

"While we are vigilant against such remarks, we must criticize them mercilessly, let such despicable villains have nowhere to hide, and make them become rats crossing the street that everyone shouts to beat..."

This article was written with a high level of skill; it didn't talk about how good Western culture was, but talked big about cultural tolerance, which had strong deceptiveness.

It also didn't mention Zhou Andong's name, but as long as one had seen Zhou Andong's speech and then saw this article, they would know that the "certain businessman" referred to Zhou Andong.

The whole piece didn't openly curse Zhou Andong, but anyone could see that this author was cursing Zhou Andong, calling him a person without wisdom, without bearing, without cultivation, narrow-minded, with many taboos, and a paranoid temperament.

Wu Hongkang took a deep breath and looked at the author again: Yan Qidong!

"Old Zhou," Wu Hongkang muttered: "This time, you really have poked a hornet's nest."
