Chapter 1645 1647 [A useless scholar]
"Wen Qiang, I''m sorry, my father shouldn''t have made our relationship public." Feng Chengcheng jumped and apologized to Xiang Nan.
?She knew that Xiang Nan didn''t want to have anything to do with her father, but her father wanted to be tied to Xiang Nan, which really put her in a dilemma and extremely embarrassing.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, why do you have to say sorry to me." Xiang Nan comforted her, "Don''t worry, I won''t be angry with you."
?He was angry with Feng Jingyao, but he would not implicate innocent people.
"Wen Qiang, let''s leave Hujiang as soon as possible. I don''t want to stay here anymore." Feng Chengcheng said again.
She has never liked Hujiang because there are too many evils here. And many of these crimes were caused by her father. So in the past few years, she had been studying in Peking just to avoid this place.
?The reason why she came back this time was because she missed her father after not seeing him for four years. But she had only been back for two days, and the disgust she felt before quickly grew again, making her want to escape from here again.
Xiang Nan nodded.
He doesn’t like Hujiang either. Because it is so chaotic here. The foreign powers, the Kuomintang, the compradors, the traitors, the mafia... so many forces are entangled together, the dragons and snakes are mixed, and the atmosphere is foul. It is really not a place to live for a long time.
…
?On the other side, Feng Jingyao looked at Xiang Nan and Feng Chengcheng dancing on the dance floor with a smile on his face. Who would have thought that such an outstanding talent as Xiang Nan would be his prospective son-in-law, Feng Jingyao.
King Nie Ren fought with him for two years, and with the help of the power of the government, he was always able to suppress him. But no matter how powerful he is, he is not as good a prospective son-in-law as Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan is a top scholar in the world, and even the government gives him some thumbs up. Just like today''s welcome ball, not only was it hosted by the government, but also ambassadors, counselors stationed in Shanghai, and even other prominent figures were present.
From this point alone, we can see Xiang Nan’s influence. He, Feng Jingyao, could completely rely on this power to defeat King Nie and regain his dominance in Shanghai.
So, at this moment, Feng Jingyao felt particularly comfortable.
He also smiled and challenged King Nie Ren, "Brother Nie, what do you think of my prospective son-in-law? Can you tolerate it? To tell you the truth, in two days, I will hold a wedding for them. By then, Brother Nie must come for a wedding drink.”
When King Nie heard what he said, his face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.
??He really didn''t expect that Xiang Nan would be Feng Jingyao''s prospective son-in-law.
?He and Feng Jingyao have been fighting each other for several years, almost like a black-eyed chicken.
The reason why we fight so fiercely is mainly because of interests.
Feng Jingyao was a comprador capitalist who advocated the import and sale of foreign goods. And he is a national capitalist and strongly advocates the use of domestic products. It can be said that the two of them are born to be mortal enemies.
What''s more, Feng Jingyao was extremely powerful in Hujiang, and he once covered the sky with one hand. King Nie was not willing to be the queen, so naturally he also wanted to taste the feeling of being inferior to this person and superior to ten thousand people.
?It is a pity that although he has the support of the national government, behind Feng Jingyao, there is also the support of Great Britain, France, Japan and other powers. In addition, he has been operating in Hujiang for more than 20 years, and his roots are deep.
So, although he has been suppressing Feng Jingyao in the past two years, it is difficult to completely defeat him.
?Now that Feng Jingyao has another wife, it will be even more difficult for him to overpower Feng Jingyao.
?Thinking of this, King Nie Ren naturally looked extremely ugly.
After dancing with Feng Chengcheng, Xiang Nan found Wu Tiecheng again, hoping that he could release Lu Qiubai.
Wu Tiecheng frowned when he heard his request, "Mr. Xu, you don''t know something. Lu Qiubai has a very close relationship with the Red Party, and often writes articles to criticize the government and incite public opinion. How can such a dangerous person Just let it go."
"Mayor Wu, Qiubai''s personality is a bit radical. He has written some extreme articles, which may cause some people''s displeasure. I would like to apologize on his behalf in advance." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "For my sake, please , just be noble and let him go. I asked him to promise that he will never publish current affairs articles again. What do you think?"
"Mr. Xu, please don''t interfere with the affairs of the government." Wu Tiecheng still refused.
Xiang Nan couldn''t help but frown when he saw this.
?This Wu Tiecheng is really shameless. It is already wrong for him to illegally imprison progressive people. In order to soothe his cheeks, he promised Lu Qiubai not to write anymore.
Even so, it is really too much for him to still refuse to let people go and to lock them up forever.
“Mayor Wu, is it true that we can’t discuss it any further?” Xiang Nan then asked.
"Mr. Xu, this matter is of great importance to the family and the country, so you''d better not get involved." Wu Tiecheng said calmly.
?Although Xiang Nan is an internationally renowned scholar, he has no real power after all. The greatest value of famous people like this is to decorate the world. Let Chinese people and even foreigners see that the government is eager for talents and recruiting talented people.
Just like the Buddha statue enshrined in the temple, it is covered with gold powder and covered with yellow satin. It looks upright and solemn, but it is actually just a decoration to fool foolish men and women.
In this case, Wu Tiecheng would naturally not listen to Xiang Nan.
"Well, in that case, I won''t say anything." Xiang Nan nodded.
Since he asked people directly and they refused to give, he was not going to be nagging anymore.
…
The next day, Xiang Nan accepted an exclusive interview with Shenbao.
“Mr. Xu, there is word from the national government that they want to hire you as an academician of Academia Sinica. I wonder if you will agree?” the reporter asked.
"To be honest, when I studied abroad, I just hoped that one day I could return home after my studies and contribute to our country''s scientific and cultural undertakings. So this time I returned home with the same enthusiasm and determination. .
But unfortunately, after I learned some things, I am very disappointed with the current government. Xiang Nan sighed and said, "Some people just wrote a few articles and were arrested and imprisoned for a year or two." There was no trial, no lawyer to defend him, and he didn''t know which law he had broken. He was imprisoned for no apparent reason, and he still refuses to be released.
I have been giving lectures in various European countries in the past few years, and I have learned a lot about the legal systems of each country. I have never seen such a chaotic and lawless administrative environment.
Therefore, I can’t help but feel worried that one day, I may write an article wrongly, and I will be arrested and imprisoned for several years in a daze. So, I probably won’t stay in the country. "
??The reporters were shocked when they heard what Xiang Nan said. Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan was so rude and fired directly at the government. If this news were to be published, the government would probably be embarrassed.
After all, Xiang Nan is an internationally renowned scholar. His status in the academic circle is as famous as Einstein, Planck, Marie Curie, etc., and he enjoys a high reputation internationally.
Therefore, when he bombards the government, a large number of people will definitely respond, which will directly affect the international image that the government has been working hard to build.
