now.
Zhou Ying instinctively cursed:
"What the hell are you yelling about?"
Driver: "No? Secretary Zhou...look ahead..."
Upon hearing this, Ma Jun and the others realized something was amiss and all looked in the direction the driver was pointing. They saw that they were passing through a bustling area in the city center, and on a building in front of the area, there was a huge screen playing a video.
It looks like a video of an awards ceremony!
It's perfectly normal! Seeing various videos playing on similar super screens is commonplace in Shanghai and nothing unusual.
But what's truly surprising is the content of the video.
Then I saw it.
A host's microphones:
"Welcome to the Northern Province Commendation Conference! This conference is to award certificates of commendation to those who have made contributions to the Northern Province."
"Now we would like to invite a few leaders..."
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, several leaders stepped onto the stage and began to speak eloquently.
See here.
Zhou Ying burst out cursing, "It's just an awards ceremony! What were you yelling about? What's the big deal?" She was already resentful and was startled by the driver, so how could she not be angry?
Even Ma Jun frowned: It was indeed making a fuss over nothing. The content of the video was too ordinary. It was just that a few leaders appeared, and they were of high rank!
But what does it have to do with them?
At this point, the driver, quite anxious, pointed at the screen and said, "No? I just saw Qin Jiang in the video?"
What?
Is the Qinjiang River inside?
Upon hearing those two words, Ma Jun and Zhou Ying seemed to react instinctively and stared at the screen, but they didn't see Qin Jiang's face. The screen still showed several leaders speaking.
Just as the two were about to say something more.
Then I saw it.
The host announced, "Now! We will be awarding the three most important certificates of the day: Congratulations to Qin Jiang, Chairman of the Heilong Group, for receiving the following certificates jointly awarded by the Northern Province, the Public Security Bureau, and Songjiang: [Northern Province Gold Medal], [Northern Province Reform Pioneer], and [Friend of Public Security]."
brush!
The scene changes!
Qin Jiang strode onto the stage and, under the guidance of several high-ranking leaders, received three certificates and medals.
Then.
A public security leader announced on the spot: "After careful consideration, we hereby confer upon Mr. Qin Jiang the title of Chief Public Security Advisor of Northern Province!"
Smack! Smack! Smack!!
Amidst waves of applause, Qin Jiang stood under the spotlight and in front of multiple outdoor screens throughout the city, delivering his acceptance speech.
Such high spirits!
That was so exhilarating!
Ma Jun: (=ﾟДﾟ=)
Zhou Ying: (ᵒ̤̑ ₀̑ ᵒ̤̑)wow!*✰
Lead Attorney: (☉_☉)
They were so shocked by what they saw on the screen that they were speechless.
no?
Qinjiang!
This guy who fought them to the death, this guy who came from the underworld and had tens of thousands of underlings!
This is the person who wiped out the entire Wang family and framed them! (In Ma Jun and Zhou Ying's eyes, the situation regarding Qian He's massacre of the entire Wang family must have been orchestrated by Qin Jiang. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence have happened? Otherwise, how could they have been dragged into this mess?)
This is Qin Chenjiang, who has the nickname "King of the River Sinking"!
......
They brazenly entered the hall and were presented with honorary certificates by important leaders in front of countless outdoor screens. Moreover, these certificates were obviously of high caliber, and the people who presented them were also of high caliber. They were even given the title of Chief Advisor of Public Security of the Northern Province!
That's absolutely outrageous—her mom opened the door for her outrageous mother!
This is absolutely outrageous!!!
Ma Jun: "[Northern Province Gold Medal], [Northern Province Reform Pioneer], [Friend of Public Security]—each of these is a high-level honorary certificate. They're like talismans for entrepreneurs..."
Ma Jun, at his level, naturally received many honorary certificates, but these certificates were also graded.
What an outstanding entrepreneur!
Top 10 Most Influential Entrepreneurs!
What a person who made the greatest contribution!
What famous philanthropist!
......
These titles are not very prestigious; anyone who reaches a certain level can obtain them, just like Qin Jiang was previously the chief young entrepreneur of the three northern provinces. They don't really have much practical use.
At most, they'll just have more titles when they're introduced!
Premium Medals! Pioneers of Reform!
These two are clearly not ordinary just from their names; they are honorary certificates with special symbols.
This honor is a significant boost, representing the local government's genuine recognition of the entrepreneur's contributions.
Even if the title of "Friend of Public Security" doesn't sound very prestigious, don't forget to give him the title of "Chief Public Security Advisor of Northern Province," which is definitely more valuable.
The key point is:
Why was such a prestigious certificate awarded to Qin Jiang? Especially right after he caused such a huge commotion, and it was being shown on big screens all over the city.
this...
That's absolutely outrageous!
(Of course, they were unaware of the details surrounding the awarding of these honorary certificates. It involved intense discussion and a final decision: after confirming that Qin Jiang had no criminal record, they endorsed him, which meant endorsing Songjiang Never Sleeps City. The goal was to send a clear signal to the outside world: Heilong Group is legitimate! Songjiang Never Sleeps City welcomes tourists from all over the country.)
Liu Lu couldn't help but say, "Qin Jiang's influence in Songjiang is too enormous. Unless there is some substantial evidence, it is basically impossible to shake his position."
Although Ma Jun didn't want to admit it, there was nothing he could do. The facts were right in front of him, and who could say anything?
Zhou Ying was extremely panicked: "His influence in Songjiang is so enormous, will he retaliate again after we get out...?"
Lead Attorney: "Impossible! That's far too obvious..."
Zhou Ying: "He hasn't done many obvious things yet. In Songjiang, there's nothing he wouldn't do."
Lead Attorney:......
He couldn't refute it any further.
Ma Jun: "Let's go! Back to Shanghai now! I've been away for so long and there are so many things to take care of. I can't stay in Songjiang any longer." He spoke with conviction and reason.
But everyone knew that Ma Jun was scared; it would be hard for anyone not to be scared after encountering so many things.
boom...
The driver stepped on the gas and sped away.
Along the way.
They passed through many bustling areas and saw many large screens. Looking at Qin Jiang, who was speaking eloquently on the screen, they felt a chill in their hearts and a coldness throughout their bodies.
even:
Ma Jun saw on a certain screen that Si Jiu was also awarded some certificates, as well as the title of North Province Security Advisor.
Ma Jun:.......
This moment:
Qin Jiang, Zhu Zheng, and Si Jiu were featured on the city's big screens, enjoying the highest honor.
Ma Jun, Zhou Ying, and others fled Songjiang in their car like stray dogs, not daring to linger.
That concludes the discussion.
Huanyu Group VS Heilong Group:
Utter defeat!
After leaving the Songjiang area.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Ma Jun, Zhou Ying, Liu Lu, and others couldn't help but turn around and look at the sky over Songjiang: "It's so dark!"
