Chapter 2180: Full of Malice

At 9:50 p. m., Yin Mingsheng came out of the study, then sat down on the sofa in the living room and turned on the television.

At 10:00 p. m., the provincial TV station aired a people's livelihood program, which was one of his channels for understanding the livelihood of Liaoning Province, so he watched it every night.

At this moment, the ending theme of the TV series Seven Heroes and Five Gallants was being played, followed by advertisements.

Yin Mingsheng picked up a cigarette, lit it, then changed his posture and leaned comfortably against the sofa back.

The time happened to point to exactly 10:00, and the theme song of the people's livelihood program sounded as usual, followed immediately by the familiar opening画面 flashing on the screen.

However, unexpectedly, this time the画面 first showed the four large characters "Yu Gong Group".

Seeing this, Yin Mingsheng, sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this moment, Shang Hui appeared on the TV screen holding a microphone and smiling. She was wearing a proper professional outfit, standing gracefully with her body turned sideways, one hand pointing to the large stone at the entrance of the new winery, on which the words "Yu Gong Winery" were clearly carved in several vigorous and powerful large characters.

"Friends in front of the TV, hello everyone, welcome to tune in on time to this episode of《Baixing Shikong》, I am the host Shang Hui."

Shang Hui's clear and pleasant voice spread throughout the room through the speakers: "Today, let us together enter Yu Gong Winery and have a face-to-face exchange with Comrade Zhou Andong, chairman of the Yu Gong Group. I believe everyone is full of curiosity and anticipation for this business giant..."

Then the画面 switched again, showing an office that looked spacious but simply decorated, yet a large bookcase and the books filling it were very eye-catching.

As the lens slowly rotated half a circle, Zhou Andong's figure gradually appeared in the画面.

Shang Hui smiled and said: "Chairman Zhou, hello, we meet again."

Zhou Andong was leisurely playing with the exquisite tea set in his hand, the tea set flipping up and down between his agile fingers, movements skillful and elegant, pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Andong picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, gently placed it in front of Shang Hui, and said with deep feeling.

"Yes, it has been two years since your last interview with me."

Shang Hui smiled, nodded slightly, and then said in a tone full of admiration and praise: "I remember very clearly that you saw injustice and acted courageously, bravely capturing hooligans on the bus.

Although I myself did not personally witness that thrilling and exciting scene, merely hearing others' descriptions already allowed me to deeply feel how heart-stopping the scene was.

Shortly after, I had the fortune to follow Deputy Mayor Dai to the winery to specially commend your fearless and courageous actions.

During that exceptionally meaningful interview, you were the first to expound to the entire nation the core ideological values that have now deeply penetrated people's hearts, been widely known and recognized by all citizens, as well as the grand vision for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

It can be said that through that interview, we all truly witnessed your outstanding talent and far-sighted wisdom, as if you could govern the heavens and the earth.

Since then, you have rightfully become the leader of the younger generation, leading countless aspiring youth to forge ahead bravely and actively devote themselves to the great cause of national construction and social development."

Shang Hui's delicate face smiled even more broadly, unreservedly praising Zhou Andong, while Zhou Andong's face always bore a smile, showing no change.

But those familiar with Zhou Andong, seeing this interview, all blushed and felt embarrassed for him. Of course, such blatant flattery of Zhou Andong also made some people's faces as black as the bottom of a pot—namely, Yin Mingsheng.

On TV, after Shang Hui finished speaking, her gaze naturally turned toward the massive bookshelf occupying the entire wall beside her.

At this moment, the lens followed her gaze just right, moving over to present the bookshelf fully packed with various books before the audience's eyes.

"Chairman Zhou, you are called the leader of the younger generation, and countless young people, especially those still in school, all regard you as a model and exemplar to learn from and emulate.

This is not only because of your brilliant achievements in career, but also stems from your heart that burns intensely and always concerns the country and family.

Such deep patriotism is like a lamp lighting the way forward for many, and like a clear spring nourishing the spirits of many.

For example, when Jinli County suffered the most severe flood since the founding of the nation, you not only participated in organizing the relocation of the masses, but the Yu Gong Group also immediately produced two thousand tents and provided free food and drink to the disaster victims.

After the Lingchuan River breached its banks, you again rushed to the frontline of flood control, joining the armed police and the masses in carrying sandbags to block the breach, which further proves your fervent patriotic heart.

Although the term 'patriotism' is familiar to people worldwide, many do not know how to practice it. I believe our Chinese youth also have many who do not know how to express patriotic feelings, so could you talk about this topic?"

Zhou Andong laughed. Patriotism is an eternal topic, the deepest and most enduring emotion in human society. It is a firm national spirit, and also a sense of responsibility.

Speaking of our grandfather's generation, they underwent the baptism of blood and fire. They lived in turbulent times, facing foreign invasion and the破碎 of mountains and rivers, yet they did not fear, but resolutely stepped forward.

With their flesh and blood, using fearless courage and firm belief, they built an impregnable Great Wall. They sacrificed their lives fearlessly, fought bravely, and shed their hot blood on the battlefield defending the motherland.

Every drop of blood condensed with deep love for the country, every charge was to defend the dignity of the Chinese nation. It was precisely their heroic sacrifice that shouldered the backbone of our Chinese nation.

When it came to our father's generation, the country was in a state of awaiting revival after numerous setbacks. They carried boundless enthusiasm and ambition, devoting themselves to the great cause of socialist construction.

Whether in remote mountain areas or bustling cities, whether in harsh factory workshops or vast farmlands, their busy figures could be seen everywhere.

They feared no hardship, shrank from no difficulty, used diligent hands and wise minds to toil and strive hard. To let the motherland prosper and grow strong as soon as possible, they burned their youth and passion without complaint or regret.

Throughout the long years, they silently contributed, not caring about personal gains or losses, only to realize the shared dream in their hearts—building the motherland into a modernized strong country.

For us Chinese youth of the new era, loving the motherland is the foundation of establishing oneself and the basis for becoming talented. We must firmly listen to the Party's words and follow the Party, hold dreams but must also have our feet on the ground, dare to think and dare to act, and also be good at making things succeed.

We must become new-era youth with ideals, courage to take responsibility, ability to endure hardship, and willingness to strive, letting our youth bloom splendidly in the fiery practice of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

Zhou Andong spoke while playing with the tea set, poured himself a cup of tea after speaking, then lifted it and took a light sip.

"Each generation has its own responsibilities, each generation has its own journey. Our new-era Chinese youth must use the new era's Long March spirit, generation after generation in relay, to welcome the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation..."

Seeing this, Yin Mingsheng's face became extremely gloomy, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, so gloomy that it seemed water could drip from it.

Today's《Baixing Shikong》broadcast an interview on Zhou Andong, and he keenly caught a trace of hidden极深 yet extremely obvious malice.

This malice was like a poisonous snake lurking in a dark corner, although it had not yet bared its ferocious fangs, that cold, bone-chilling aura was transmitted through the screen.

From the moment he took office, a strange feeling has followed him like a shadow. It seemed that in the unseen darkness, a vast and mysterious power was hidden.

This power was like an invisible giant hand, silently and yet firmly opposing him, making each step forward feel doubly difficult.

No matter how he exhausted his efforts and tried every means to push work forward, he would always encounter unexpected obstacles and interference.

Those seemingly trivial details would, at critical moments, suddenly surge out, disrupting his carefully planned layout.

Even some work already completed and documents already signed would inexplicably show changes, rendering all efforts futile.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Andong's interview, he immediately understood that this was another provocation against him, which made him furious while also arousing his deep fighting spirit.

"I, Yin Mingsheng, am not someone to be bullied!"
