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

Chapter 569 Let the fake artifacts "speak" for themselves

General Manager Zheng originally planned to have Ren Tong launch a blockade against the "Reply" in Guangdong after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This was approved by the top leader, Wang Guohua, and since the China Mobile Group is a vertically managed system, even the local government had no way to stop it.

Little did they know that before they could even put their efforts into action, Su Hui had already gotten himself into a lawsuit with someone else.

Zheng Weizhong called Ren Tong with great interest to find out the details.

Ren Tong, who lives in Guangdong, naturally knows more about the situation. Although the details are still shrouded in mystery, it is certain that Psion is backed by a mix of various forces.

"...So you say that."

Zheng Weizhong chuckled after hearing this: "This is no ordinary commercial dispute. I was wondering yesterday why Xinhua News Agency was backing the retroactive party again, publishing the retroactive statement overnight."

At Zheng Weizhong's level, the mystique surrounding Xinhua News Agency has been stripped away.

This platform is impressive and deserves respect.

However, opinions vary on the leadership level of the platform.

Zheng Weizhong felt that being transferred there wouldn't necessarily make him worse off than his current superior.

"It's not a commercial dispute."

Ren Tong first answered the leader's question, then paused for three to five seconds, sensing that Zheng Weizhong seemed to be thinking, so he asked again:
"Mr. Zheng, I heard that Chen is in Hong Kong. Should we take advantage of the fact that he's not paying attention to his old base in Guangdong and just cut off the business of [Reply] and the branch office tomorrow? That will definitely drive him crazy."

Do you think Ren Tong is "utterly loyal"?
No, he was just pretending to be loyal, acting loyal in his words and actions.

"Old Ren, you need to improve your political awareness."

Zheng Weizhong did not agree, and his tone became serious: "Although I don't like Chen Zhe, it's just a difference in business philosophy. When it comes to matters of principle and national righteousness, we Communist Party leaders still need to have a scale in our hearts."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng."

Ren Tong immediately admitted his mistake: "I was thinking too much just now and confused the relationship between the group's business operations and political stance, which led to a weakness in my overall awareness. I will strengthen my theoretical study in the future, improve my political stance, and will not make the same mistake again."

After delivering his impassioned speech, Ren Tong added with a smile, "The main problem is that I'm too far removed from leaders and role models. When I was by your side, I was constantly exposed to your vision and wisdom. Even if I wanted to make a mistake, I was always mindful of my surroundings. Now that I'm far away, without your guidance and instruction, my awareness has unknowingly declined. I really need to report to you more often in the future. Please don't find me troublesome, Mr. Zheng."

Don't underestimate Ren Tong's conversations.

He first clamored for a retrospective, to demonstrate his loyalty.

When Zheng Weizhong objected, Ren Tong used his "narrow perspective" to highlight the leader's "great image".

Finally, he even took the opportunity to flatter her with high emotional intelligence.

This two- or three-minute conversation is enough for a young civil servant who has just entered the system to reflect and ponder for two or three years.

Even Zheng Weizhong was amused: "Old Ren, how come you've already learned all the ways of officialdom in less than a month?"

What appears to be criticism is actually Zheng Weizhong's delight.

Leaders are human too.

After hanging up the phone, Ren Tong did not inform Chen Zhe.

However, if Zheng Weizhong had really agreed to do something underhanded behind the scenes...

What should Ren Tong do?

That's easy to handle.

1. They agree verbally, but procrastinate in practice.

Second, I asked Chen to help connect me with Vice President Lu Xiangdong so that I could join his team from then on.

However, Zheng Weizhong's political ideology is solid, so let's put everything aside and see how General Chen's battle of wits and courage against the foreign devils goes.

...In the middle of the night at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, Psion's team had grown by several foreigners.

They were travel-worn and looked tired, clearly having just arrived.

The preemptive strike two days ago taught these foreigners a good lesson—

Just because you're right doesn't mean you're so great.

I'll issue the "Statement" first, and I'm right!
It has a similar arrogance to that of a college student from a prestigious 985 university in later generations who first releases a video to falsely accuse someone.

Actually, the retrospective action wasn't that arrogant. Chen Zhe was also very low-key, and it was Psion who broke the rules first.

They all accepted such expensive "gifts" and promised to file a lawsuit after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they deliberately chose to file a lawsuit on the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is clearly to prevent Director Chen from having a family reunion.

However, Chen's "luring the snake out of its hole" tactic was quite successful. After hearing that the "Android version of the mobile phone tracking assistant" would be launched in three days, and that the lawyer had analyzed the possible adverse effects on the lawsuit.

Upon hearing that the effort would likely be fruitless, John immediately decided to destroy the retrospective and hold a press conference to expose Chen's use of cultural relics for bribery.

At the same time, they split into three groups: one group sent people from headquarters, another group contacted reporters in Hong Kong, and the third group sent Smith to the mainland to promote the cause.

John even had his press conference remarks prepared:

Although these cultural relics are beautiful, my mother taught me that a gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way.

These cultural relics are not only evidence of crimes, but also fragments of the memory of an ancient civilization. Therefore, I decided to return them to China. This is a choice that is worthy of history and my conscience.

John was very pleased with the saying, "A gentleman loves money, but he earns it in a proper way," which Yang Lili had taught him.

Yang Lili said that learning to use Chinese proverbs can not only quickly win the other party's favor and establish cultural resonance, but also make you pretend to be familiar with and respect Chinese culture.

That's why they say the most despicable traitors have always been the two sides of the enemy; they understand their own people all too well.

……

Of course, while Psion is making active preparations, the retrospective team is also busy.

That evening, they went to the small courtyard in Yuen Long District that made fake antiques.

Yang Jianguang, the vice dean of the law school, told Chen that he was also a collector of antiques and cultural relics, so he knew about an "unspoken rule" in the industry.

These craftsmen usually like to leave a unique mark on the objects they make, like a silent signature, to declare, "This is my work."

Of course, these markings are very subtle, because once discovered, these artifacts are proven to be fakes.

This would damage one's own reputation, so no craftsman would want to reveal where their mark is.

He wouldn't even tell his apprentices.

Chen originally planned to expose those cultural relics as mere handicrafts at that press conference.

But after hearing what Dean Yang said, Chen suddenly felt that if he showed those marks one by one in front of the TV station and reporters, wouldn't it be more shocking and convincing?
The slaps to the faces of those people at Psion were even louder!
So Chen returned to the small courtyard.

When craftsman Liao Bo saw Chen return, he assumed another business opportunity had come his way and greeted him cheerfully.

But upon hearing Chen's purpose, Liao Bo blew on his beard, sneered, and said, "Kill me, and I won't tell!"

There was almost no room for negotiation.

"Hey~"

Chen sighed. How could a society governed by the rule of law allow for violence and killing?

However, how to get the old man to talk, and within two days, became Director Chen's problem.
