Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 688 Public Opinion

Free HIV test strips distribution point, Peace Hospital, Central, Hong Kong Island.

A middle-aged woman trembled as she held up the white paper in her right hand. Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, she looked at the middle-aged man in a white coat sitting behind the consultation desk and asked, "Doctor, what do these two lines mean?"

"Two lines mean you have AIDS!" Before the doctor could answer, a gossipy woman wearing a white mask said, "Have you ever slept with a Chinese man?"

The middle-aged woman with heavy makeup had fear in her eyes. Just when she wanted to grab the middle-aged male doctor behind the consultation desk and ask for help, an arc-shaped explosion-proof steel fork stretched out from the side and blocked the middle-aged woman back.

"Stand still when talking, and don't touch the doctor!" said the security guard holding the explosion-proof steel fork. When he saw that the woman did not continue to act recklessly, he retracted the fork.

"Ma'am, please wear a mask when you go out in the future and be careful of infection with the HHV-6 virus. As long as you are not infected with this virus, you don't have to worry about your condition worsening in the next few years." After the middle-aged male doctor finished speaking, he pursed his lips and handed over a mask.

The doctor did not mention that the Great Health Medical Research Institute behind Heping Hospital was developing relevant anti-AIDS drugs. This would have confused the public and affected the public opinion offensive launched secretly by Zhang Heping.

"You've never heard of the HHV-6 virus!" The gossiper next to her, wearing a white mask, explained smugly, "Let me tell you! The HHV-6 virus is also called human herpes virus type 6. It is a virus isolated from AIDS patients by the Chinese!"

"This virus has little impact on ordinary people, but it is very harmful to people like you who are infected with AIDS!"

"HIV carriers could have lived a few more years, but once infected with the human herpes virus type 6 created by the Chinese, HIV carriers will quickly develop AIDS and die in agony!"

Frightened by this gossip, the middle-aged woman with heavy makeup turned pale and her lipstick seemed to have faded.

But the gossips are still saying, "The Chinese are so vicious. In order to eradicate AIDS, they actually isolated this virus and specifically harmed HIV carriers!"

"Don't leave!" The gossipy woman wearing a white mask quickly followed, as if she was concerned about the other person's health, and continued to explain loudly:

"Let me tell you, human herpes virus type 6 can be transmitted through saliva, urine, blood and other channels. It is dozens of times more contagious than AIDS. You must wear a mask and it's best to wear a pair of glasses!"

The gossipy woman wearing a white mask gave some loud instructions to the people in the queue, then walked around and came back with a half-drunk bottle of mineral water.

After she put the bottle of mineral water in the drawer under the consultation desk, she began to explain loudly, turning the HHV-6 virus into a conspiracy of the Chinese people. This was a paid job for her.

The key is that people around her and reporters all believed what she said, and she herself believed it firmly!

This is because HIV first appeared in newspapers and magazines in 1981. Although the Chinese later competed for the naming rights, it did not affect Hong Kong people's understanding of AIDS.

The HHV-6 virus was published in a magazine by a Taiwanese last year. The cover and inside pages of the magazine are displayed in the popular science column of the Peace Hospital.

Therefore, the people who received free testing strips at Peace Hospital and Peace Square, as well as those who were watching the news about Hong Kong and Macau, believed this nonsense!

...

Central, Governor's House.

【Good afternoon, everyone! I am at Peace Square, broadcasting the HIV testing situation here. The test strips have been distributed for free for most of the day, and I believe that many people will use this HIV oral test strip. Next, I will...】

"Your Excellency, Governor of Hong Kong, news has come from Luohu Port that Mr. Zhang and his family took the train to Shenzhen!"

The old man from Eagle Country, who was watching the news on Hong Kong and Taiwan TV, frowned and looked at the female secretary who came in to report, "Has the nuclear radiation test at the Magnesium Embassy been completed?"

The female secretary quickly replied, "The source of the radiation has not been found yet, and Dr. Teddy has not found out what disease those Magnesium people have."

"Is the Magnesium man pretending to be sick?" The Governor murmured, and then asked the female secretary: "Do you know why Mr. Zhang and his family went to Shenzhen?"

The female secretary answered without hesitation: "Mr. Shen said that Mr. Zhang was busy with the Shenzhen Peace Vocational Training College. It happened to be summer vacation for the students, so he brought his family over."

The Governor continued to ask, "Did Mr. Shen ask how Mr. Zhang would deal with the Magnesium Embassy?"

The female secretary replied calmly: "Mr. Zhang's original words to Mr. Shen were, 'Put it aside for now to avoid misunderstanding.'"

"Mr. Shen believes that Mr. Zhang is mainly reminding us not to interfere in this matter, so as to avoid misunderstandings between us and him!"

"Humph! This richest man is really arrogant. He has provoked the Magnesium people and dares to warn us!" The Governor of Hong Kong said dissatisfiedly. He thought about the degree of penetration of the Peace Group into Hong Kong Island and the cash flow of tens of billions of Magnesium dollars, and shook his head helplessly:

"Send someone to buy a batch of test strips and have everyone in the mansion tested. Don't leave anyone out."

The female secretary looked at the Governor's expression and lowered her voice and said, "Your Excellency, the Governor, Peace Hospital sent a batch of oral test strips over. Others are testing. Do you want to try it?"

Since the old man didn't say anything, the secretary couldn't remind him to get tested for fear of causing him to think too much.

...

Central, Magnesium Embassy.

More and more reporters gathered at the embassy gate. Reporters from Hong Kong, Macao and the mainland were all wearing white masks, and those without masks were all foreign reporters.

If you want to know the reason, we have to talk about the conspiracy behind the HHV-6 virus!

The roads around the Magnesium Embassy were dug up and the water, electricity and gas were cut off inside the embassy. With such explosive news, a group of reporters wanted to dig out the unknown stories behind it.

However, foreign journalists were violently driven away from the Renheyi community, and journalists from Hong Kong and Macao had not received any news of interviews at the Zhang family's home, so they did not dare to interview the Zhang family and could only wait on the other side of the incident.

Although the Magnesium Embassy did not allow reporters to enter for interviews, it did not drive away the reporters outside the door.

In addition, the reporters also learned from two Eagle national medical staff who had just come out that no disease had been found in the head of the Magnesium Embassy, ​​and they recommended that he be sent to the hospital for further examination.

The head of the Magnesium Embassy may have to be sent to the hospital!

Just for this piece of news, a group of reporters waited until the sun set, but they didn't see the curator come out. Instead, they saw three American men carrying some instruments coming out.

"Mr. David, have you detected any radiation?"

"Mr. Stephen, can you tell us about the situation inside the embassy? Has it been attacked? That's why the defense is so tight?"

"Mr. Wolf, what's the situation with the head of the embassy? Is he dying?"

Before the reporters from Hong Kong, Macau and the mainland could make a move, the foreign reporters launched a verbal attack, seemingly knowing these three people from the Governor's Office.

"Dear friends, we only know that no radioactive materials were detected in the embassy, ​​and we don't know anything else. Please don't delay us from going back to have our meal." Bearded David said as he squeezed into the crowd of reporters, trying to get through a group of female reporters.

"Mr. David, after you went in, did you see the curator?"

"Mr. David, are there any signs of fighting in the embassy? For example, bloodstains, explosion marks, etc.?"

"Mr. David, do you know why the Peace Group is targeting the people of Magnesium this time? Is it in retaliation for the sanctions imposed by Magnesium?"

After a group of foreign reporters followed the three American hawks, reporters from Hong Kong, Macau and the mainland looked at each other, took out their mobile phones and called their respective units to report that no radioactive materials were detected in the Magnesium Embassy.

...

Shenzhen, Peace Vocational Training College.

When Zhang Heping and his family were getting food in the college cafeteria, Director Wang answered a phone call nearby.

She felt relieved when she learned that there was no radioactive material in the Magnesium Embassy.

The reason they suspected the presence of radioactive materials in the Magnesium Embassy was that the embassy director and other staff members showed symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea, which were somewhat like the sequelae of radiation.

In addition, the seawater refinery in Kowloon Bay has the ability to extract radioactive substances from seawater, which has attracted the attention of people who are unaware of the truth.

After all, the impact of the nuclear power plant leak in northern Sudan is still spreading, and European countries are still suffering from the effects of radiation.

"Heping, under what circumstances would a person experience symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea?" Director Wang couldn't figure out Zhang Heping's method, so he asked directly at the dining table.

"There are many reasons for this symptom, such as some diseases, overwork, or external influences. Why are you asking this?" Zhang Heping asked stupidly.

Director Wang had received a phone call earlier and heard that doctors in the United States had ruled out the possibility that the head of the Magnesium Embassy was ill.

Now that radiation has been ruled out...

Tang Xin looked at the two meat dishes and one vegetable dish on the stainless steel plate, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Husband, we can eat in the cafeteria, but Shu Ting is pregnant, she can't eat like this!"

Zhang Heping looked at his wife Chen Shuting who was eating with gusto and said with a smile: "Just make do with it today. I'll have someone buy the casserole and ingredients tomorrow."

When Chen Shuting heard this, she looked up at Zhang Heping with resentment, then helplessly buried her head in eating.

"Dad, when do we start researching smart wearable devices?" asked the sixth son Zhang Hu anxiously.

Zhang Heping said casually: "Don't worry, you can first take a look at the mechanical principles and engineering mechanics courses on the World Internet Forum. If you don't know these basic common sense, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the laboratory."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping hummed in his heart, and when the two brats couldn't stand it anymore, he would take out the drone and the robot dog to tempt them.

Director Wang then asked, "Heping, if you let the Hong Kong and Macao media report extensively on the topic of Chinese people and AIDS, will it have a bad impact?"

"As long as the reporter reports the truth and doesn't make it up, that's fine." Zhang Heping said indifferently: "As for the impact, it depends on which side the public opinion leans towards!"

"Auntie Wang, the Third World War will not break out. In the future, the competition among countries will be based on economy and culture, and the weapons will be in a state of competition with each other."

"The economic war has already begun, and next comes the cultural invasion!" Zhang Heping put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said lightly:

"Those students who study abroad, those who get rich first through various means, and the foreign forces who are eyeing them covetously will use various means to distort the moral concepts of the Chinese people in the future!"

Wei Chunqiao, the head of the Umbrella Company, answered a call and came over to say respectfully, "Boss, there is a group of negotiators claiming to be from the Nuclear Industry Group at the entrance of the college. Do you see them?"

"Let them find Manager Huang, I'm busy!" Zhang Heping replied indifferently.

Wei Chunqiao went to the side to answer a phone call, then sat back at the dining table and quickly finished the food on his plate.

The purpose of his coming here was to set up the Umbrella Protection Shenzhen branch, bring the company's system and training methods, and also bring the domestic spies from the Umbrella Protection head office to form the human resource structure here.

Wei Chunqiao felt that if it weren't for these domestic spies, they wouldn't have been so restricted in dealing with the two groups of Navy SEALs last night, and they could have gotten more new weapons out.

Director Wang reminded him, "Heping, the representative of the Nuclear Industry Group should be here to talk to you about the nuclear power plant."

"I know, but that's Huang Wenli's job." Zhang Heping said lightly, "I think Huang Wenli can handle this."

"If I meet with the representatives of the Nuclear Industry Group at this time, it will not only be disrespectful to Huang Wenli's previous work, but it will also disrupt my plans."

"Auntie Wang, you know what we are going to do next. I don't want to waste time on these small things that have already been arranged."

"Yes!" Director Wang nodded and asked, "Are you going to class tonight? I saw quite a few people going to the teaching building."

"They went to the computer room to surf the Internet!" Zhang Heping explained, then shook his head and smiled, "The villa here is still empty. I'll go back and make a list to see what else I need to buy."

"Old Wei, you need to hurry up and select a nanny and cleaner for my villa!"

Wei Chunqiao put down his chopsticks and quickly replied: "Boss, I want to call the nanny from Hong Kong Island first, and teach the nanny I will hire in the future."

Zhang Heping responded casually: "You decide on the arrangements, and then give me their family members' information for review."

Just as Zhang Heping and his group finished their dinner and picked up their stainless steel plates and put them on the dining cart at the canteen entrance, Huang Wenli called.

Zhang Heping thought she was going to talk about the Nuclear Industry Group, but he didn't expect that Shanghai had sent representatives to attract investment.

After some calculations, he signed the letter of intent for investment with Guangdong Province and Beihu Province just yesterday. The two sides could submit the relevant project approval report today at the earliest. As a result, the investment promotion representative from Shanghai has arrived!

However, Zhang Heping was not in a hurry to meet the investment representatives of Shanghai. He planned to wait until the approval reports from Guangdong Province and Beihu Province came down. Now Huang Wenli would talk to the investment representatives of Shanghai.

There is a great demand for funds in all walks of life in the country, but residents have a lot of deposits and state-owned factories have a heavy inventory backlog.

Coupled with the increasingly serious triangular debts and retired employees, Zhang Heping has lost all interest in domestic factories, especially those in Shanghai.

Therefore, he would rather authorize the production of drugs and medical equipment to domestic factories than invest in and take over those old factories.

Those factories have a lot of troubles, it's not as worry-free and comfortable as building a new factory.

The key point is that Zhang Heping has the final say on personnel matters in the new factory, and no one who does not suit his wishes will be hired.

The group arrived at the villa area at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Villa No. 1 belonged to Zhang Heping, Villa No. 2 was allocated to Director Wang, and Villa No. 3 was originally intended for Liu Yuan, but she refused and only accepted a three-bedroom apartment in the elevator apartment next door.

Huang Wenli made the same choice as Liu Yuan and only asked for a three-bedroom apartment.

However, the sixth brother, Zhao Jianguo, was more straightforward and helped his wife Ding Ning accept Villa No. 3.

Then, Ding Ning was scheduled to be transferred to the Personnel Department of Shenzhen Peace Hospital to serve as a human resources manager.

Most of the time, it is the wives, both the first and the second wife, who make the arrangements when it comes to what is missing at home or what needs to be purchased.

So, Zhang Heping was standing on the shore of the artificial lake outside the villa with Director Wang, chatting in low voices, and left the task of making the shopping list to his wife and children.

"Heping, you just mentioned cultural invasion. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Auntie Wang, have you heard about the trend of studying abroad in the capital recently?"

"I heard that since the policy of studying abroad at one's own expense was relaxed, many college students would rather give up their graduation job assignments and rack their brains to apply to study abroad."

"Then does Aunt Wang know about the trend of going to Japan to work in Shanghai?"

"I know a little about this. I heard that the Dongdu Crematorium under Huayingxiong Company has hired many people from the Magic City."

"Auntie Wang, do you think those people who have gone abroad, after seeing the colorful world outside, will be willing to come back? After they come back, will they show off the prosperity outside and then take another group of people abroad?"

"Heping, you are back, aren't you? Looking ahead, there are still scientists like Qian, Deng, Li, Guo, Wang, etc. Since you and them can come back, there will be more people coming back in the future, don't you think?"

……

I wish you all a Happy New Year!
