Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 562 Reunion Festival, Not Going Home

"Do you want to visit Chen Zhe's parents tomorrow?"

Inside the black Volvo sedan, Professor Lu was slightly surprised when he heard his daughter's request.

My daughter isn't a child who particularly enjoys social interactions.

During family gatherings, she would simply eat her meal quietly, remaining silent and unresponsive even when elders praised or teased her.

To go to such lengths for a boy shows how much she cares about him.

"Isn't it a bit too early?"

Professor Lu frowned habitually: "You're only sophomores. When your mother went to your grandparents' house for the holidays, she and your father were already about to get married."

Song Shiwei remained silent, gazing calmly at the scenery outside the window.

"Alright, alright, I can't stand you young people."

Professor Lu knew his daughter's temper well, and rolled his eyes as he said, "Then let's go and see them tomorrow, but don't have the family reunion dinner there. Our relationship hasn't reached that stage yet."

Although Sweet Sister hadn't planned to eat at Chen's house, she just thought that if her boyfriend couldn't come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, she would go and visit his aunt and uncle.

Isn't this basic common sense?

I'm just a little curious, in Mom's eyes, what step is "that step"?
"I'll drive you there, and you can bring two bottles of Moutai and two boxes of mooncakes from Guangzhou Restaurant."

Professor Lu said, "I'll just sit for a bit and then come down. That's enough. I won't go up..."

"cough~"

Lu Man suddenly raised her chin: "Weiwei, let me make this clear in advance: if our parents ever meet, I will never go to their house first."

"Of course, it's not like we're forcing them to come to our house first."

Professor Lu extended his index finger and elegantly pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses: "At least we should choose a hotel private room; that would be fairer, wouldn't it?"

"You didn't come to dinner last time either."

Sweet stopped looking at the scenery, turned her head and said softly.

Professor Lu hesitated, realizing that her daughter was referring to the time when the two families had dinner at Bing Sheng Restaurant and she had deliberately avoided going.

When the father and daughter returned, they lashed out at them.

"What's your dad been up to these past few days? Why don't you give him a call..."

Professor Lu changed the subject.

Lu Man will not apologize, even if she is wrong.

It's like having longed for America for decades, only to realize after spending two months there that you've made the mistake of dogmatism and empiricism.

After returning to China, Professor Lu did not apologize to her husband and daughter.

She knew she was wrong and regretted it night after night.

But I'm too stubborn to say "I'm sorry".

However, in daily life, Professor Lu quietly became more considerate of her husband and no longer rigidly demanded that her daughter grow up according to her own ideas.

Life was peaceful and harmonious.

"Beep beep..."

Song Shiwei called Lao Song, but no one answered.

"never mind."

Professor Lu shook his head and said, "You were just saying that Chen was busier than your dad, but now it seems these two men are about the same. Let's go home and have dinner first."

……

As Xianmei and Song Xiaohua arrived home, they both sent messages.

Only then did Chen Zhe truly and completely put his mind at ease.

It should be completely alright now!

Freed from emotional entanglements, Director Chen finally unleashed his full potential, and with President Zhang Zhiming's guidance, a plan quickly emerged in his mind.

"Do our leaders have their own media mouthpiece in Hong Kong?"

Chen asked President Zhang and Director Gu.

Just like Hong Kong has pro-Western media outlets such as Apple Daily and Next Magazine, as well as Ming Pao, which appears fair but is actually ambiguous, they all have the shadow of Western forces behind them.

Smith of the Human Rights Foundation intends to publish lengthy articles in these newspapers tracing back to how technology illegally profited by exploiting bugs in the Symbian system, taking the opportunity to attack and smear Chen Zhe, a college student hailed as a flag bearer for youth entrepreneurship.

At the same time, Psion will formally sue Tracing Technology and demand corresponding compensation. Originally, there would have been a waiting list, but due to the heavy British influence on the Hong Kong judicial system in 2008, John made private contacts, and the Kowloon Magistrates' Courts have now implemented a VIP queue-jumping service.

Although the situation is quite serious, we are not without our own weapons in the public opinion arena.

For example, Ta Kung Pao, Hong Kong Commercial Daily, Wen Wei Po... these are all pro-China media outlets.

It's clear that beneath the surface of prosperity lies a complex struggle on this small island, which is only one-seventh the size of Guangzhou.

It has been ten years since the handover, but the mainstream public opinion is still "pro-Western" and has a strong British flavor in the judicial system.

But so what?
The situation has now reached a point where we must take the initiative and "draw our swords."

"During the meal just now, I listened to a lot of opinions from the leaders, and President Zhang also gave me some pointers."

When Chen spoke, it was still a compliment that avoided offending anyone: "Director Gu, I would like to be the first to publish an article on our media front."

Gu Shengtong crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming: "What's the content?"

"Well……"

Chen pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and concluded:
First of all, I wish all the people of Hong Kong Island a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and all the best.

Second, let's introduce the identity of Tracing Technology: a technology company that integrates research and development, manufacturing, production, and public welfare. "Research and development, manufacturing, and production" each correspond to three products, and "public welfare" specifically refers to Tracing Mobile Assistant.

Third, due to the imperfections of the Symbian system and the irresponsibility of the development company Psion, a large number of bugs frequently exist.

Therefore, Traceback Technology launched the mobile assistant software to fix vulnerabilities for free, allowing everyone to better use related electronic products.

Fourth, recently, the world has seen a polarization in mobile operating systems, with ongoing debates between Android and Symbian.

Traverse Technology believes that Android is the future trend because it is more compatible and flexible.

Therefore, they recently plan to launch an "Android version of a mobile assistant" and abandon all services on Symbian, welcoming Hong Kong citizens who purchase Android phones to use it in the future.

Fifth, the company plans to build the most advanced mobile phone factory in the country and launch the first Android phone in China.

This statement is actually quite shameless; it's a classic case of the guilty party accusing the innocent first.

It sounds as if the Symbian system was too outdated, so Rewind Technology abandoned it and made a big announcement about building "the largest mobile phone manufacturing plant in the country," which is quite a gimmick.

One can imagine that when Psion's legal team saw this statement, their expressions must have been worse than if they had eaten shit.

Even if they continue to file lawsuits, their momentum has been greatly weakened because they were outmaneuvered.

They have clearly stated that they are giving up all services in Saipan, so demanding compensation for lost revenue would feel like being a pest.

It's like a sword slashing into a tree trunk; it can cause damage, but the sword is also stuck inside.

He couldn't pull it out, nor could he chop it off, and the worst part was that he couldn't just abandon the sword and leave; he had to stay there.

However, Gu Shengtong and Zhang Zhiming both agreed, with Zhang Zhiming adding that...

This statement also needs to be released in domestic media because some experts and scholars on the mainland have actually been bought off by Western forces.

They planned to reprint these reports as "rational and objective" entities when Psion launched its offensive in Hong Kong.

Then, the uninformed public is allowed to be misled by the reports of those pro-Western media outlets, forming information biases in their own cocoons, and ultimately turning against Chen, their own person, with sarcasm and harsh words.

In fact, if this banner of "college student entrepreneurship" is attacked and falls.

Then there were "Wang Zhe, Xu Zhe, Zhang Zhe..." No matter who it was, as long as they were college students starting businesses, the general public would think they were all swindlers, which played right into the hands of Western forces.

They don't want any heroes to emerge in the Chinese nation, so if one does, they'll manipulate public opinion to attack him.

"It's just that I don't have enough connections in the domestic media..."

Chen looked at Zhang Zhiming, the deputy director of a Xinhua News Agency branch.

"I'll handle the communication and coordination."

Zhang Zhiming stood up, patted Chen on the shoulder and said, "In today's climate of vigorously promoting economic development, you absolutely cannot fall down."

After finishing his speech, President Zhang left. He needed to report to his superiors and use administrative power to intervene.

Gu Shengtong took out a Furongwang cigarette and was about to offer it to Chen Zhe when he remembered that the young man didn't smoke. So he smiled and put it in his own mouth: "Looks like you're not going home tonight."

"I'll probably have to bother Director Gu again tomorrow."

Chen sighed.

Although I gained an early advantage, it's impossible for everyone to be busy for me. I'll leave the "front line" and go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Looking up at the round moon in the sky, I really missed Old Chen and Empress Dowager Mao.
