Chapter 2358

Zhou Andong blinked, and it took two or three seconds before he said: "I remember, that guy is just a dog raised remotely by the beautiful West. I scolded him, and he threatened to sue me. Major media reported it crazily, and I was waiting for the court summons, but there has been no news for so long, and I forgot about this matter."

Seeing Jian Qiu said with a smile: "He was taken away for investigation, and not just him, seven or eight so-called professors from South China Agricultural University were all taken away."

Zhou Andong asked: "How do you know?"

"Reported by the Yangcheng Evening News." Seeing Jian Qiu yawned again, like a lazy little cat, gently hugged Zhou Andong's waist, leaned her face on his chest, and said softly: "I can't go out, and there are no good programs on TV, so I asked Sister Liu to send the newspaper to me."

"Those dogs who eat inside and out should have been caught long ago." Zhou Andong laughed, then patted Seeing Jian Qiu's shoulder: "Go to sleep."

"Okay, you should rest early too!" Seeing Jian Qiu said, but still lingered for a while before turning back to the bedroom.

Zhou Andong came out of the back building, stood in the courtyard, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke. He was indeed very surprised that Zhao Yujing was caught.

In the previous life, there were so many so-called "public intellectuals" jumping up and down, trying their best to disgust people, but very few were actually caught. Why was this?

The reason wasn't that complicated. It's difficult to measure and regulate the ideological understanding of those notorious public intellectuals with rigid legal standards. After all, what the center needs is to adhere to the rule of law, and at the same time, adhere to the four self-confidences, and enhance inclusiveness in the cultural field. This means that it is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between culture and politics, and correctly handle the contradictions among the people.

Precisely because of this, for the idiotic remarks of those public intellectuals, the above often turned a blind eye. However, this doesn't mean they can do whatever they want.

Once someone crosses the red line and violates the law, the eye that the above closed will definitely open immediately, and they will be mercilessly invited to "drink tea" in the place they should go.

And those public intellectuals actually know this very well, so they jump around so cunningly on the red line, but never dare to truly step over it. In this way, even if the above wants to take action against them, they will be helpless due to the lack of a clear legal basis.

This time Zhao Yujing was caught, it probably has nothing to do with the money donated by the International Republican Institute to the Agricultural College's Economic Research Institute. Because the funds for such donations are usually open and transparent, and there will never be any obvious handle or problem left. And Zhao Yujing wouldn't be stupid enough to take tainted money.

Therefore, don't think that just because this group of guys always comes up with some brain-damaged remarks, they are really low in IQ. In fact, being able to be a professor and a public intellectual, their IQ definitely won't be low. They know very well where the red line is drawn, what can be done, and what can be said. Therefore, Zhao Yujing's arrest should have another reason.

Zhou Andong stood in the courtyard smoking, the smoke lingering in front of him, making his face somewhat blurred. While feeling the relaxation brought by nicotine, his thoughts were also drifting. After a long while, he withdrew his thoughts and walked toward the fourth courtyard unhurriedly.

As soon as he entered the fourth courtyard, Zhou Andong's gaze was attracted by Gu Bing sitting under the tree. The guy had a cigarette in his mouth and a fan in his hand, fanning it one by one, looking very comfortable.

"So late and still..."

As soon as Zhou Andong opened his mouth, he saw Gu Bing's body tremble violently, the cigarette in his mouth fell directly to the ground, and at the same time, he jumped up like a spring, then suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Andong.

When Gu Bing's sight met Zhou Andong's, his anger was instantly ignited. He widened his eyes and roared at Zhou Andong: "Fuck, you walk without sound? Do you know that scaring people will scare them to death!"

Zhou Andong blinked his innocent eyes, suppressed a laugh and said: "How can I walk without sound? It's clearly you who were distracted, who can you blame?"

Gu Bing was clearly angered by Zhou Andong's words. He slapped his chest hard, took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth and said: "I'll die in your hands sooner or later!"

Zhou Andong finally couldn't hold it back anymore. He suddenly laughed out loud as if he had been hit by a laughing acupoint, laughing until tears almost came out. While laughing, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in Gu Bing's mouth, then picked up the lighter and lit the cigarette for his brother-in-law.

"To tell the truth, I really didn't expect to scare you like this, sorry, sorry!"

"Cut the crap, look at the way you're grinning now, where is there any sincerity in your apology?" Gu Bing gritted his teeth: "You take a mirror and look at yourself now, your mouth is like a flour bag, and your teeth are like foot covers."

"Alright, don't be so angry, I didn't do it on purpose."

Zhou Andong hurriedly comforted him, and at the same time reached out and patted Gu Bing's shoulder gently, but the smile on his face made Gu Bing want to beat him up, but knowing he couldn't beat him, he could only be sullen.

"I went to the First Bar tonight and experienced a grand drama. Come, come, come, I'll tell you about it, let you feel the demeanor of your younger brother waving his arms and planning strategies."

"Not listening!" Gu Bing took a deep breath, said nothing, turned and walked toward the room, muttering: "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."

"Hey? How can you not listen?" Zhou Andong hurriedly chased after him, saying while chasing: "I'm telling you, the grand drama I directed tonight is absolutely wonderful, you'll regret it if you don't listen!"

Gu Bing didn't pay attention to Zhou Andong at all, his footsteps didn't stop, he walked straight into the room, and then closed the door with a bang.

Zhou Andong was unwilling to be shut out like this, rushed to the door quickly, slapped the door hard, and shouted loudly: "Open the door, Old Gu, Secretary Gu, Brother-in-law, what happened today is really, really wonderful, if you don't listen, you'll suffer a big loss."

There was no response in the room, Zhou Andong kept slapping the door: "Old Gu, stop messing around, you're such a big person, why is your heart so small?"

"Creak!" The door opened with a soft sound, revealing Gu Bing's angry face: "Zhou Andong, what exactly do you want?"

"I just want to tell you about what happened at the bar tonight." Zhou Andong pushed Gu Bing away and walked in.

"I don't want to listen." Gu Bing lay on the bed: "Comrade Zhou Andong, I just want to sleep now, please don't bother me, can you understand what I'm saying?"

"Don't be like this!" Zhou Andong said earnestly: "Just listen to me, I guarantee you'll feel that your younger brother is very awesome after listening."

As he spoke, Zhou Andong sat on the edge of the bed, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. In the swirling smoke, he saw Gu Bing closing his eyes tightly. This guy hurriedly reached out and carefully pried open Gu Bing's eyelids, muttering while doing so.

"Don't close your eyes, I haven't even said anything yet, what if you fall asleep? I won't tell you even if you want to listen tomorrow!"

"Slap!" With a crisp sound, Gu Bing slapped Zhou Andong's hand away mercilessly, and then, like a deflated ball, sat up from the bed with a face full of lovelessness, saying weakly.

"I don't know what evil I did in my previous life, that I met a bastard like you in this life!"

"Brother-in-law, your words are too hurtful, I really don't feel good hearing them."

Zhou Andong smiled, took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said unhurriedly.

"Think about it, what kind of life were you living before I appeared in your life? Do you remember that sentence I once told you?"

Gu Bing glared at him irritably and said sullenly: "You've said so many things to me, where would I remember?"

"It's that sentence, 'Born great, lived stifled', you should have an impression, right?" Zhou Andong grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and the joy of his smile went without saying: "Just say it, before I appeared in your life, were you living especially stifled?"

Gu Bing closed his lips tightly and didn't say a word, only a low, muffled grunt came from his nasal cavity. Although Zhou Andong was right, stubborn as he was, he could never bow his head in front of Zhou Andong.

"But!" Zhou Andong's voice raised slightly, fearing Gu Bing wouldn't hear clearly: "From the moment I appeared in front of you, haven't you been favored by the God of Luck? The gears of fate started to turn, the two heavy little mounds that were originally pressing on you, Gao Qingkui went in, and Zhang Deyou also died."

Zhou Andong caught his breath, took another puff of the cigarette, and continued: "Immediately after, the group was established, you successfully entered the board of directors, then said goodbye to that unhappy marriage, and found the love that truly belonged to you.

Brave to the End of the World was established, you served as the factory director, not only easing your relationship with your family but also laying a solid foundation for your career. And now, you have become the Party Secretary of the Woolen Mill, becoming a super dark horse of the Gu family, what does all this mean?"

Zhou Andong didn't give Gu Bing a chance to interrupt, and continued to answer his own question: "This means I am your God of Fate, I am the one who saved you from that stifled life, let you get rid of the predicament, and ushered in a new life.

So, being able to meet me is the blessing you cultivated for several lifetimes, otherwise, you might still be struggling in that stifled life now."

Gu Bing raised both hands: "I surrender, I surrender, Comrade Zhou Andong, please tell me what happened at the First Bar tonight, and how you waved your arms and planned strategies."

Zhou Andong asked somewhat uncertainly: "Do you really want to listen?"

"Yes!" Gu Bing said with a face full of seriousness: "I want to listen very, very much, tell me quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

"But I don't want to tell you now." Zhou Andong got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked out, without any dragging: "Brother-in-law, I won't disturb your sleep, good night!"

"..."

Gu Bing watched Zhou Andong open the door and go out, then close the door gently, the expression on his face changing constantly, and it took a long while before he roared.

"Zhou Andong, from now on I am at odds with you."

"Bang!" Gu Bing picked up the pillow and smashed it hard against the door.
