The novel "Infection" was published in one go by the editor-in-chief Huo of Shenbao, catching the Japanese off guard. Even if they wanted to remedy the situation afterwards, it was too late. The entire newspaper had spread all over Shanghai in a short period of time, and spread at an astonishing speed.

Knowing that they could not conceal the truth again, the Japanese began to make operations or hype that dazzled Shen Wenjiao.

First, they hired a large number of pro-Japanese writers to distort the truth in the newspapers, saying that the novel "Infection" was a false accusation and that the Japanese came to China with the purpose of friendly coexistence and common progress. They simply pretended to be blind and ignored the various photos and documents provided by Shen Wenjiao that had been published in the newspapers.

Then, a large number of Japanese businessmen made another move, and various charitable donations poured into various orphanages like water. As for how much of it can actually be implemented, it depends on one's own opinion!

However, in recent newspapers we can see Japanese people being philanthropic every day.

Of course, Shanghai at that time was not a place where the Japanese had the final say. There were many Chinese people with lofty ideals and vision. The Japanese had already occupied and invaded several provinces, and a full-scale war between the two countries was only a matter of time.

The entire Shanghai beach was almost beating up the heads of various people surrounding "Infection" in the newspapers.

Such a lively scene did not have much impact on Shen Wenjiao's life. At most she would make a few comments at home while reading the newspaper every day.

"This Japanese guy is really nice. Apart from anything else, the gold and silver he took out are real. 20 oceans, he donated it as soon as he said he would ~" Ms. Feng Ya sighed as she watched the news in the newspaper.

Feng Ma also nodded. This was a lot of money. If it were her, she would never be willing to spend it.

"Mom, how could you be so gullible! Do you really think they are so kind? They are just putting on a show." Shen Wenjiao looked helplessly at Ms. Feng Ya, who could now read the newspaper independently and did not need to be asked questions by her, and briefly analyzed the current situation with them.

In Shen Wenjiao's opinion, the Japanese are now publicly reporting their charitable acts every day just for show, in order to paralyze ordinary people who do not understand the situation.

"So, the Japanese will definitely fight us in the future. If you praise them, you are aiding the enemy~"

Ms. Feng Ya shook the newspaper in her hand, "Jiaojiao, you don't worry much, but you do. I'm not a fool, could it be that you really like the Japanese? What does national affairs like war have to do with us? Just fight! Haven't we fought less in these years~"

It was hard to refute what Shen Wenjiao said. After all, the domestic wars in recent years were indeed fierce, first the Northern Expedition and then the first civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Only when you are in this era can you feel the chaos of this era. Anyway, if Shen Wenjiao didn't know the future development direction from the beginning, she would have been confused just by reading the newspaper news!

"Anyone knows there's something fishy about this donation, but Jiaojiao, I want to tell you one fact. No matter what the purpose is or how much money is actually put to good use, those who have lost all hope will finally have a chance to survive."

Ms. Feng Ya looked at the girl with red lips and white teeth, who looked like the daughter of a wealthy family, and shook her head. Jiaojiao had never suffered any hardship, and didn't understand that for some people, having enough food to eat was the greatest hope in life.

“It’s never the most important thing who donated the money.”

People who donate money want a good reputation, to gain recognition from certain people, or perhaps some spiritual satisfaction. The vulnerable groups who receive donations often need this kindness, whether true or false, to save their lives.

Ms. Feng Ya left these meaningful words and tiptoed down the stairs to chat.

Shen Wenjiao was left in a daze after hearing her mother's words, "Feng Ma~"

Aunt Feng put down the dishes in her hands, pulled a stool and sat next to her young lady, with no distance between master and servant.

Mother Feng looked at the increasingly charming and outstanding girl in front of her, and her worries were about to overflow! She didn't know how long the young lady could hide her good looks in such a chaotic world. She also didn't know if the young lady could protect herself.

"Miss, no matter if they are Japanese or foreigners, as long as they are willing to donate, it is always good. In the eyes of those people, only by surviving can we talk about the future."

Shen Wenjiao's mind was a little confused. The education she received in the modern world made her accustomed to a world of black and white. In her eyes, the Japanese would do unspeakable evil in future wars of aggression, so Shen Wenjiao always hated and guarded against the Japanese.

But in reality, which of the British and French who were able to set up concessions in Shanghai at that time were easy to deal with? They all had bad intentions and wanted to get some benefits!

Shen Wenjiao is close to the Red Party and hates the Kuomintang, which is still only concerned with the civil war. But in fact, when the War of Resistance Against Japan really came, the Kuomintang also made a considerable contribution, and there has never been a shortage of patriots among them.

"I, I know!"

Feng Ma and Ms. Feng Ya were not worried about anything else, but they were worried that Shen Wenjiao would get carried away and become like those radical writers in the newspapers. They would write something and publish it when they were too excited. If someone wanted to do something bad to these three women, it would not be too difficult.

This is the way the world is. A man who doesn't have a household of his own won't have to worry about retaliation if someone really wants to bully him.

Otherwise, Editor Li would not have secretly withheld the benefits given by some businesses to Shen Wenjiao for writing promotional articles. Fatty Qi, who has always been good at making friends with everyone in the film studio, would not have done the same thing as he did now, directly making a deal with Shen Wenjiao in which both money and goods were paid, and at most he would be polite sometimes.

Although Shen Wenjiao took the initiative to reduce the contact with both parties, Editor Li subconsciously looked down on Shen Wenjiao's identity as a woman. Fatty Qi also had a daughter, and he knew the situation of the male and female stars in the film studio.

Fatty Qi had good intentions in his heart and tried to reduce his contact with Shen Wenjiao as much as possible. A pretty and talented girl was a delicious feast for those upper-class people who were tired of vulgar women.

This is also the reason why Shen Wenjiao always dresses plainly when she goes out. The cheongsam and dresses at this time are very beautiful. As a normal girl, how could Shen Wenjiao not love beauty?

Shen Wenjiao just relied on her young age to keep a low profile and be careful! But this is not a long-term solution after all. Now there are two directions in front of Shen Wenjiao.

Or just keep a low profile, act cowardly and ugly all the time, and be careful not to stand out too much even when you go to college. Write something and hide under a pen name, giving up the other benefits that fame brings. Of course, this is not absolutely safe, but it can at least delay for a while.

Either~
