rebirth against the times

After the dance, everyone began to pour into the dance floor, and many people came to a quiet place in twos and threes to communicate with each other. Bai Shuo and Li Zhen each exchanged greetings with the guests and then came to a place on the second floor of the villa. In the leisure corner, Zhuzi and everyone from Huaying Group were drinking wine and chatting about some happy things.

"What makes you so happy?" Bai Shuo asked.

Xu He replied cheerfully: "The dance just now was so beautiful. Everyone is saying that you two are a perfect match."

Shen Tengfei: "Yeah, I wonder when Mr. Bai is going to marry our Mr. Zhen? Then our Huaying Group will have to arrange it as grandly as if we were marrying our daughter."

Li Zhen on the side blushed and quickly interrupted everyone: "Ha...it turns out that you guys are also such gossips when you get together...The dance just now was for work, Bai and I are always putting on a show for our charity fund. Woolen cloth."

At this time, the always honest Zhuzi also said: "It's great to put on a show. I think this show can go on forever, from work to life, from company to home..."

Bai Shuo picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it towards the pillar: "Well, you Zhuzhu, now you have followed their example and become dishonest."

"What are you talking about? It's so lively?"

Cao An also came here at this time, sat down with everyone, picked up a glass of red wine, and drank it in one gulp.

When Bai Shuo saw Cao An, he naturally changed the subject: "What, our gold medal host is thirsty? Everyone was praising you just now."

Cao An laughed and scratched his head and said: "To tell you the truth, I actually think I still have a bit of talent for talk shows. It's just that this thing is too niche, otherwise I really want to develop it."

Bai Shuo: "Then you are wrong. Talk shows will definitely become more and more popular in the future. If you practice hard, you might be able to host some TV show in the future that will become an instant hit."

Cao An: "Really, then I have to prepare well. Maybe I will become a star through talk shows in the future, and maybe I will be more famous than Chen Bing. Haha..."

"By the way, who was the person you got into trouble with before the dance?" Zhu Zhu asked.

Bai Shuo was stunned for a moment: "Oh, Jia Fugui, my college classmate, and he also has a younger brother, Jia Duojin, who seems to be Fatty's brother, right?"

Cao An: "Jia Duojin? Oh, I met a younger brother some time ago. He said that he has a brother who has a good project. Today he is going to introduce him to me. His brother is not your classmate, right? I know you. Why did this great god come to see me? By the way, I didn’t see them after the dance. I don’t know where they went.”

Bai Shuo sneered and said: "Haha, I'm afraid I feel that I have no face, so I just left quietly."

Everyone felt that there must be something going on here, so they were all full of curiosity.

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Bai Shuo told the story about how he and Liang Ying approached Jia Fugui to invest. After listening, everyone felt aggrieved. Cao An quietly settled the account and said, "You said Jia Fugui, he If those funds had really been invested in us at that time, I am afraid they would have made more than a hundred times more now, so why would we need to go around asking for help like this?"

Bai Shuo smiled: "Fat man, although this classmate of mine is a little unreasonable, he is not a treacherous person. Just now he was afraid that I would be in trouble, so he comforted me. This time, if he really has something on his hands, Whatever a good project is, just do whatever you want."

Cao An understood what Bai Shuo meant and immediately agreed: "Okay, come down and I'll ask Jia Duojin. If the project is valuable, then I can help you, an old classmate like me."

When everyone saw that Bai Shuo not only did not make trouble for Jia Fugui for this matter, but also indirectly helped Jia Fugui with the help of Cao An, they all felt that Bai Shuo was a sentimental person who could repay evil with kindness, and their respect for Bai Shuo deepened from the bottom of their hearts.

a bit.

When the party was coming to an end, a person suddenly broke into the villa in a panic, and then looked around for something. Finally, he found Bai Shuo among the guests, who was drinking and chatting with everyone.

The person who came was none other than Bai Shuo's cousin Li Fei. Seeing that there were many people at the scene, he just vaguely told Bai Shuo that something big happened in the south and he needed to be explained in detail immediately. At this time, Bai Shuo was already five or six points drunk.

He didn't understand what Li Fei was referring to. Seeing this, Li Fei had no choice but to approach Bai Shuo's ear again and said: "The thing you have been paying attention to has changed significantly."

Bai Shuo suddenly remembered that he had asked Li Fei to focus on the things in the south. What else was there besides Nanshui Town? He and Li Fei immediately came to a secluded place, and then Li Fei told Bai Shuo that an unusual riot occurred in Huai'an County yesterday.

, the incident lasted until early this morning, preliminary news was received, the entire county is currently in chaos, and the government work has come to a standstill.

Hearing the news, Bai Shuo was startled and broke into a cold sweat. He had already sobered up from the wine. Because the matter was so important, Bai Shuo immediately asked people to notify Nangong Ming, Zhong Pengcheng, Cao An, Zhu Zhu, Anna, Zhao Yong and others to come upstairs immediately.

A meeting was held in the small hall. At the same time, after Bai Shuo listened to Li Fei's report in full, he immediately called Xue Manlin to learn about the situation on the ground.

Unexpectedly, Xue Manlin happened to be in Huai'an County and witnessed the whole incident with her own eyes, so she told Bai Shuo what happened in detail. In addition, Manlin also told Bai Shuo that her father told her that there was something strange in Nanshui Town now, and she

Currently, I feel as if I am being watched all the time. Bai Shuo asked Man Lin to pay attention to her own safety, stay in the room as much as possible, and never get involved in the riots. If there is any situation, keep in touch at any time. After hanging up the phone

, after summarizing the information from both sides of Li Fei and Xue Manlin, Bai Shuo finally had a basic understanding of this incident:

This matter starts with a drowning accident in Huai'an County, Bagui Province before the Spring Festival. Two days before the Spring Festival, students were supposed to have finished their exams, spend the winter vacation, and welcome the Spring Festival. However, a girl in the second grade of junior high school

However, Li was found to have jumped into a river and drowned in the early hours of the morning. After identification by the public security agency, Xiao Li died of drowning, but Xiao Li's parents could not accept this fact and insisted that Xiao Li was murdered. Later, some "grapevine news"

It was spread in Huai'an County: It was said that Xiao Li died because he did not give the test paper to his classmate Wang during the high school entrance examination, so Wang found two social youths to take revenge, and Wang was the niece of a certain county leader.

There were even reports that Xiao Li was naked when his body was recovered. Later, it was rumored that the murderer was let go by the public security agency because one of them was the son of a deputy magistrate in the county. After learning the news, Xiao Li's

My uncle went to the public security bureau to demand an explanation, but his appeal was to no avail. On the way back, he was beaten up by gangsters.

Of course, some of these rumors are true. For example, Xiao Li's academic performance in the class is indeed better, while Wang's is worse; it is true that Xiao Li's uncle was beaten by unknown people on the street.

However, it is completely inconsistent with the facts that Wang is the niece of a county leader, and that she asked for a copy of the test paper from Xiao Li, and that Xiao Li was naked when he was fished out. However, these facts mixed with rumors still aroused many people's sympathy for the deceased.

Xiao Li's father was from Nanshui Town and his mother was from Nan'an Town. They were doing some small business in the county. After Xiao Li drowned, due to disputes over the cause of death, his body was buried by the river. Li's father and Li's mother

After the family received the news, relatives on both sides continued to gather in the county to support Xiao Li's parents, which cast a gloom over the Spring Festival celebrations.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the public security organ organized another autopsy on Xiao Li, but the results were still not satisfactory to his family. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival holiday was coming to an end. At this point, Xiao Li had been lying in state by the river for nine days.

The conflict gradually intensified. In the afternoon, I don’t know who took the lead. Everyone bought a piece of white cloth, signed and wrote on the spot to make a banner, and asked two classmates of Xiao Li to hold it in front. They set off from the river to petition the county government.

Along the way, more and more students and villagers joined. By the time they passed the middle school where Xiao Li lived, the number of people in the group was already more than 200. In addition, after the news of the parade spread, the county town had previously been involved in land acquisition, urban demolition, etc. by the government.

Some landless farmers and citizens whose interests were harmed by the act also followed them towards the county government. When the parade finally arrived at the county government, it already numbered thousands of people.

Since it was still during the holidays, no one at the county government was at work, and some county leaders such as the county party committee secretary were also attending the "National Handling of Outstanding Issues in Petitions" video and telephone conference at the County Telecommunications Bureau. The petitioners were not able to see the relevant leaders.

After expressing their demands, they moved to the Public Security Bureau building about 100 meters away from the county government. At about 16:30 in the afternoon, police from the county public security bureau clashed with the petitioners while maintaining order. Along with relatives, residents and numerous onlookers from various towns,

The crowd joined in and the crowd has reached tens of thousands.

When the government personnel learned about the situation, they reported to the secretary of the county party committee that there were many students at the scene, and there were many young people. The county immediately arranged for the director of the Education Bureau to notify the principals of each school to bring teachers to the scene to persuade the students to disperse. But at this time, more and more people gathered to watch.

, the cordon began to be impacted, and some people rushed into the first floor and started smashing it.

At about 20 o'clock, due to various reasons, people never waited for an important leader to come and talk to everyone. So the crowd who "can't wait for a leader to speak" moved to the county government. As the crowd became more and more irritable and restless, some people

Incited by the police, people began to vent their dissatisfaction and started beating, smashing, looting, and burning at the government department. Although there were more than 200 public security and armed police at the scene, they still could not stop these people. The county party committee, county government, and county public security bureau

, the County Civil Affairs Bureau, the County Finance Bureau and other places were affected to varying degrees. Various vehicles and public facilities on the streets were also smashed and burned by angry people.

Around 23:00, the county government building was actually set on fire. Because the building was an old house with a wooden structure, the fire quickly reached an uncontrollable level. The incident that night lasted for seven or eight hours, and it was not until it got light the next day that everyone

It was completely dispersed. There were tens of thousands of people at the scene, and more than 300 people were directly involved in the beating, smashing and burning. The county government building was completely burned down, and more than 160 offices in various departments were burned down. Various vehicles were smashed and burned.

Dozens of vehicles and nearly 200 people were injured. At present, the work of the entire county government has been paralyzed. Many companies and businesses have begun to evacuate from Huai'an and surrounding states and counties. The entire southern region of Bagui Province has been affected and impacted.

After everyone arrived, Bai Shuo explained to everyone the current situation. After hearing the news, everyone was very shocked. This can be regarded as a shocking thing. But the information learned from the news was only

There are only a few sentences. Instead, there are more news such as "Huai'an people angrily condemn lawless elements".

After being silent for a long time, Nangong Ming said slowly: "This matter may not be as simple as it appears. We cannot rule out the suspicion that there are unknown forces behind this to organize sabotage."

Bai Shuo thought about what Man Lin said about something strange happening in Nanshui Town, and that someone was even monitoring her situation. He immediately realized that Nangong Ming's guess was probably accurate. But he still didn't know what was behind this incident.

Such a secret.

However, now that Manlin is in danger, and he has been in Huai'an for a long time, there is no reason to sit idly by at such a moment. So Bai Shuo suggested that he should organize people to rush to Huai'an as soon as possible to grasp the first-hand situation and make timely measures.

Responses.

This proposal immediately met with a lot of opposition. Zhu Zhu felt that the current situation was unclear, and Bai Shuo was undoubtedly in danger by going there like this. Cao An also felt that the Man Lin family was quite powerful in the local area, and her own safety should not be a problem.

Individuals can't play a big role. Some people think that it is enough to send someone to understand the situation, and there is no need to take it too seriously. Some of them even persuaded Bai Shuo to give up the investment plan in Huai'an, believing that investing in such a place where the situation is unclear is risky.

Being too big is not something a mature businessman should do.

Of course there were voices of agreement, but they seemed very weak.

At this time, Nangong Ming said: "The so-called neither breaking nor establishing, things that could not be achieved in the past may be easier to find a breakthrough at this time. The thing that you have been planning, Shuo'er, maybe the current situation is an opportunity for a breakthrough..."

With Nangong Ming's encouragement, Bai Shuo became more confident and immediately decided to personally lead the team to Huai'an County.

Seeing that Bai Shuo had made a decision, everyone stopped talking and started discussing the itinerary to Huai'an. The biggest advantage of Bai Shuo's team is not that they have unified opinions but that they act together. That is to say, everyone may have different opinions.

, but once a decision is made, everyone will put away their different opinions and work hard towards the decision.

After another discussion, everyone started to prepare separately. Early the next morning, Bai Shuo took Anna, Zhong Pengcheng, Cao An, Li Fei, Xiao Lin, Zhao Yong, Niu Er and others to Huai'an County to meet Xue Manlin first.
