Chapter 1044: Die-hard Fans Start Acting

The atmosphere in the classroom was a bit oppressive, and the expressions of many students also became serious.

University students in this era mostly had hot blood and were very patriotic.

They heard from Professor Li's words that the war had never stopped; they just hadn't felt it.

"These people, under the banner of the spirit of the rule of law, do things that deceive the world and steal fame. Sometimes I think, if one day the red flag falls, if these people come to power, what will be the consequences?

Let me tell you, students, if these people come to power, our common people will inevitably face severe polarization, and it will inevitably lead to bloodshed. We, the common people at the bottom, will suffer a second time and eat bitterness a second time; we will also become a colony of the American West.

By then, reform and opening up, national rejuvenation—all will be extravagant hopes. However, what makes me very glad is that most of us are still clear-headed.

And Zhou Andong has shattered the foreign 'round moon' so incisively; he will be attacked and suppressed by some people. By then, I hope students can firmly stand out and cheer for Zhou Andong.

Tell those 'hate-the-country' people, and those lackeys and traitors cultivated and bought by the American West, that the blood in your bodies is red, your eyes are black, and your skin is yellow; you will always be Chinese."

After Li Zhongqing's class ended, the entire classroom boiled over.

Following Beijing Normal University, Zhou Andong's die-hard fans at Tsinghua also began to act.

Slowly, Zhou Andong's speech began to spread across various universities.

Zhou Andong's die-hard fans naturally wanted to support their idol, and of course, many discordant voices were mixed in.

But very quickly, they were cursed into disappearance by some radical students.

………………

"Hahaha..."

At the inpatient department of Xiehe Hospital, in a single-patient room, Song Ziyi was holding Science News and laughing wildly.

"Zhou Andong, oh Zhou Andong, before I even made a move, you jumped out yourself to ask for a scolding. It seems I also need to arrange things early, add some firewood for you, and make this fire of yours burn even brighter."

"What's so happy? I heard you laughing from outside."

The hospital room door was pushed open with a creak, and Zhao Hongxing walked in with a smile.

Yesterday, he contacted headquarters, and those high-and-mighty directors finally realized the seriousness and agreed to Zhao Hongxing's request: Coca-Cola would lower its price to two yuan in the China region, but the "buy one get one free" promotion was not agreed to.

However, even so, Zhao Hongxing was very happy, and the pressure on him eased quite a bit. At the very least, with Coca-Cola lowering its price to two yuan, it was still competitive.

So, today he came to find Song Ziyi to discuss contacting reporters.

"Look at the newspaper." Song Ziyi gave several newspapers to Zhao Hongxing, besides Science News, Guangzhou Evening News, and the Daily News, there was also the Guangzhou Youth Daily.

Zhao Hongxing took them suspiciously. "Guangzhou Evening News?"

Song Ziyi was in a very good mood. "Right, you look at the Guangzhou Evening News or the Daily News first, then look at Science News and the Guangzhou Youth Daily."

Zhao Hongxing pulled over a chair, sat down, crossed his legs, lowered his head, and began to read.

He wasn't a "hate-the-country" person, nor was he a "Western-worshipper," but he could sell everything for money.

Zhou Andong's remarks didn't have much to do with him, but he didn't like Zhou Andong showing off.

When he saw the articles in Science News and Youth Daily cursing Zhou Andong, he also laughed heartily.

"Good, cursed well."

Song Ziyi picked up the apple beside him and took a fierce bite. "I think we should also contact reporters. Taking advantage of this heat, let's add some firewood for Zhou Andong and make this fire of his burn even brighter."

Zhao Hongxing put down the newspaper and stood up to walk out. "I'll go contact reporters right now. They'll come for an interview tomorrow. You think about what to say first."

"Crunch!" Song Ziyi took a big bite of the apple. "I've already thought about it."

Zhao Hongxing left the hospital and looked up at the sun in the sky. It was already October; Beijing was a bit cool in the morning and evening, but the temperature at noon was still very hot.

"Zhou Andong, you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. Tomorrow, I will make you feel even more uncomfortable."

………………

Dicos. During this period, three Dicos branches opened in Beijing. An Jing was so busy her feet didn't touch the ground, running around to different stores every day.

After those three branches stabilized, she finally caught her breath and had time to come to the main store.

"General Manager An, General Manager An!"

Seeing An Jing arrive, the employees greeted her one after another.

"During this period, is everything normal in the store?"

"Normal!" Pan Huiling greeted her. "Our lawsuit with McDonald's, when is the second trial?"

An Jing said, "Around November."

Pan Huiling asked, "Can we win this time?"

"How could we possibly win?" An Jing smiled. "We are fighting this lawsuit not to win, because winning doesn't have much significance for us."

"Then what is it for?"

Pan Huiling asked suspiciously. She had lost the lawsuit in the first trial and had been depressed for several days.

Now hearing An Jing's words, she felt she had been depressed for nothing.

"To 'touch porcelain' (to stage a fake accident)!" An Jing didn't hide anything from her capable assistant. "McDonald's is an international enterprise. By fighting a lawsuit with them, Dicos's reputation will also grow larger and larger."

Pan Huiling finally understood. "So that's it."

"Jingjing!" A woman's shout suddenly came from behind.

An Jing turned her head to look; it was her best friend Li Xiaoxiao, the one who had been helping her in Fengjing. She was also the deputy general manager of Dicos and had previously gone to Shanghai and Shenzhen to select store locations.

"You're back. How is it over there?"

Li Xiaoxiao dragged her suitcase over and made an "OK" gesture. "They are already renovating. I left people there to watch, so there won't be any problems."

"You haven't eaten yet, right?" An Jing pulled Li Xiaoxiao to sit in the seat beside her. "What do you want to eat?"

Li Xiaoxiao said with dissatisfaction, "I'm working like a horse for you, and you're treating me to this?"

An Jing laughed heartily. "Just make do for now. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight; you can choose the place."

"That's more like it." Li Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction and said to the waiter beside her, "Give me a burger and a Very Cola."

"Alright!" The waiter walked quickly toward the ordering counter.

"Oh my!" Li Xiaoxiao said with surprise. "Jingjing, why do I feel like you've gotten a bit darker?"

"You think only you are busy?" An Jing held up three fingers. "Three branches in Beijing opened at the same time. I was very afraid of problems, so I ran back and forth every day to watch them."

After finishing, she touched her face and sighed. "Look, look at how haggard I've become. If this continues, I'm afraid no one will want me."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Li Xiaoxiao said with a giggle. "In this day and age, three-legged toads are hard to find, but men with guns in their pants are everywhere."

An Jing rolled her eyes at her. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly saw Zhou Anqin push the door open and enter, holding a newspaper in her hand. ===== CHAPTER 1045 =====
