Chapter 137 Waves of Hype (First update to greet the cute master Azure Cloud Pavilion)
Qu Jianlei learned that his manuscript had been plagiarized through Bentley's mouth.
To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to this matter. Maybe... he had heard too many similar ugliness in Blue Star? But in the final analysis, this article is too easy to write. He is just a summary of Blue Star's ideas, not the original author.
Since it is not a creative work that involves racking one's brains, the temperament is not that great.
If he is worried about this, he always feels that... isn't it true that plagiarists scold plagiarists for plagiarism? Seriously, using this as a guise, I can completely reject Dai Xingyan's manuscript invitation in the future, but it will still appear that I have been wronged. How good is it?
But seeing that Bentley and Hua Xiezhi both looked filled with indignation, he felt that he should not be separated from the masses.
Then... act a little angry.
However, now that he heard Dai Xingyan's words, he couldn't help but answer.
"What should I do? Just wait. Can they stay in Central City for the rest of their lives?"
"Wait?" Dai Xingyan is a little strange, are you so patient?
What's rare is that Bentley was not rude and asked, "Where did they go Central City?"
Dai Xingyan replied, "Repairer's Headquarters... may have escaped under the guise of official business."
"Then just wait," Bentley Diandian nodded and said no more.
Hua Xiezhi is cautious by nature. Hearing this Diandian nodded, "Yes, I agree."
The next day, Dai Xingyan came again, "Tianzhong Yi sent someone to negotiate and is willing to pay Silver Coin 50,000 to make amends."
When I first started talking about this amount, it sounded like it was not low.
But as long as you are interested, you will know through casual inquiry that Heavenly Works paid at least 80,000 Silver Coin to reconcile with them.
There are even rumors of one hundred thousand, or even two hundred thousand.
However, this is not the point. The point is that these two ran away first and did not agree to the prerequisites, which is not sincere.
Another thing is disgusting. After running for so long, I am stuck in the final time limit to negotiate compensation!
So after hearing this, the three of them had no expression on their faces.
Finally, it was Hua Xiezhi who spoke up, "Do you think this price... is still necessary to discuss?"
"There's no need to talk," Dai Xingyan said simply, "I've never seen anyone bully like this."
Hua Xiezhi asked with great interest, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Tianzhong Yi has a family in Tai Du," Dai Xingyan's eyes flashed coldly, "Are you interested?"
Bentley Diandian head, "If you do this too much, it's normal for your family to be affected."
Hua Xiezhi had a different opinion, "Let's wait a little longer. If we deal with his family now, what should we do if Tai Du talks nonsense?"
"We're not afraid of him being twisted, but why make simple things so complicated? That would be a bit troublesome."
"That makes sense," Dai Xingyan, although he really wanted them to fight Tianzhong Yi, still made a fair assessment.
She also has a family, so she agrees with this view, "They are the most capable and influential..."
"If you don't get rid of them first, killing others will only increase the hatred."
"How can it be so complicated?" Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "Just kill two of his hardcore subordinates."
"This method is good," Dai Xingyan's eyes lit up, "Subordinates are not family members. It hurts, but it doesn't hurt that much."
But after a moment's hesitation, she spoke again, "But that old guy... is very powerful in Tai Du and has too many irons."
Bentley responded quickly, "Kill the toughest one, or the one with the highest level!"
"This... it's really hard to choose," Dai Xingyan frowned, "The old guy may not even understand who is the strongest with him."
When you are in a high position, the question of who is the most trustworthy... has no answer at all.
"This is easy to handle," Qu Jianlei said simply, and then said something.
After hearing what he said, Dai Xingyan's eyes lit up, "This is a good method... leave the killing to me!"
Bentley's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Have you invited Modified Warrior?"
"I've invited three," Dai Xingyan replied proudly, "I already told you to leave such trivial matters to me!"
Of course, killing people is not a trivial matter, especially killing those influential maintenance technicians.
But Dai Xingyan thinks that it is much more convenient for her to do this. After all, her family belongs to Tai Du, so it is easier to find someone to cooperate.
As expected, Bentley nodded simply, "Okay, save us the trouble."
Dai Xingyan smiled and said to himself that Ultimate Warrior was really good at it, even traveling was troublesome.
Two days later, rumors suddenly spread in Tai Du City: President Tianzhong Yi of the Maintenance Engineers Association has made people angry and may not come back!
No one paid much attention to this rumor at first, but soon the rumor took a different shape.
It's said to be a variant, but that's actually the truth - it's not a virus, so where did so many variants come from?
The truth is that Tianzhong Yi, the son of Tianzhong Yi, plagiarized a maintenance engineer's article and published it in a heavyweight journal.
Unexpectedly, the maintenance technician had a very strong background, so he was so frightened that Tianzhong Yi and his son ran away.
This rumor is actually very restrained. It does not say that Tianzhong Yi took it upon himself without asking, nor does it say that the incident happened in Hou Jing city Repairer's Association.
But even so, the maintenance engineers at Tai Du were still furious. They all denounced this rumor and expressed that they would investigate the source.
Someone even made it clear: Just such a garbage collection suggestion can make Tianzhong Yi do such a thing? In fact, there were maintenance technicians who saw the mystery of that article, but without exception they chose to play dumb.
A few days later, just as the rumors gradually subsided, new rumors emerged.
This time, the rumors were very detailed, including the time and place, and even pointed out that it was in the office of Dai Xingyan.
This news once again detonated the circle of maintenance technicians. Because the description was too detailed, some maintenance technicians even went to seek verification.
In their opinion, Dai Family can also be regarded as a Tai Du person. Unfortunately, the answer given by the Dai Family is: This matter is true! As a result, some maintenance technicians stopped working, and some maintenance technicians began to accuse Dai Family, saying that they were Tai Du traitors.
There are also a small number of maintainers who have begun to condemn plagiarism - some people who are obsessed with technology really can't get rid of the sand in their eyes.
Just when the differentiation was becoming more and more obvious, new breaking news came out.
Someone swore that Tianzhong Yi and his son were desperately entrusting someone to resolve the dispute with the original owner of the manuscript.
It is said that the asking price has exceeded 200,000 Silver Coin, but it was still rejected.
"Do you know? The person whose manuscript was stolen knows many Modified Warrior..."
"Hou Jing's Tian Gong Repair Shop offended him, and several Modified Warrior died, and it cost another two hundred thousand to be let go!"
So someone else went to the semicolon of Tian Gong Repair Shop at Tai Du to inquire about the situation.
However, the people at Heavenly Works said in unison that we don't know what happened to Hou Jing and don't want to inquire.
When Qu Jianlei was at Blue Star, I didn't study how to speculate, but I never ate pork and always saw pigs running away.
Those factors can be easily seen on the Internet. He stays at home, but he is not out of touch with the times.
He really had this wave of news updates and bombardments at his fingertips.
But for Wasteland people, this operation is too rare, and the news is released bit by bit, which is enough to impress people.
When the incident got serious enough, a maintenance engineer from Tai Du rushed to Hou Jing to find out the truth.
However, there are also maintenance technicians who strongly support Tianzhong Yi and his son, and curse Hou Jing as despicable people.
On a rainy night, four maintenance technicians who danced the most happily were killed.
The nature of the place where they died was different, and the way of death was also different.
Some were robbed and killed on the road, while others were on duty in factories and killed by remote snipers.
The most outrageous thing was that a Rank A maintenance man drowned alive in his bathtub.
What is even more incredible is that this person's residence is Rich Area in Tai Du.
Rank A Maintenance technicians are not short of money. This person is especially not short of money because his home is in good condition.
His professional ability is not outstanding among Rank A maintenance engineers, and it can even be said that he is not worthy of his reputation.
There are rumors that he was able to pass the Rank A maintenance technician examination because of his involvement in Tianzhong Yi.
He has always been very close to President Tianzhong Yi, and he cares more about socializing than maintenance work.
Therefore, in response to this wave of rumors, he was the most excited and took the lead in charging forward.
The next day, the news spread that four maintenance engineers who supported Tianzhong Yi and his son died unexpectedly.
The news quickly detonated the entire maintenance circle. After being shocked, all the maintenance engineers were furious.
Together they put pressure on officials to find the killer quickly.
At this time, the maintenance engineers no longer have camps, but only share the same hatred towards the murderer!
As skilled workers, they are respected and stay away from right and wrong, and even stay away from fighting.
This time four colleagues died unexpectedly. If there was no fight, who would dare to be a maintenance engineer again in the future?
There are various indications that the four people who were killed should be the people who evilly committed the crime of Hou Jing. The reason is very clear.
Dai Family is deeply rooted in Tai Du. There are no maintenance technicians directly blocking the door, but there are many people with crooked mouths.
Some family members of the deceased were crying and swearing loudly at the door of the Dai Family. They were beaten and kicked away by the Dai Family's guards.
Dai Family is really so arrogant. It is inappropriate to kill people on the street in Tai Du, but beating away the offender is nothing.
Tai Du official could not express his position on this, so he could only ask Dai Family in a normal way.
But Dai Family said that he has no idea what you are talking about.
Dai Xingyan is the most suspected? Sorry, she has been at Hou Jing. It seems that she has not been home for more than half a year.
The call for a strict investigation of the murderer is getting louder and louder, but Tai Du official said: There is no clue yet.
However, there are various signs that among the perpetrators, there is at least one Modified Warrior - the murderer may come from above.
But someone still suggested that Hou Jing could be asked to cooperate with the investigation and see what Terry and Jian Lei were doing in those days.
However, at this time, someone finally raised an objection: Tianzhong Yi father and son, should they take a stance on this matter? The person who suggested it was also a maintenance engineer, and he was not very close to Tianzhong Yi.
(First update, He Mengzhu Azure Cloud Pavilion King".)——————
Chapter 138 One goes down and the other goes up (Second update to greet the cute master Mei Renxin)
This maintenance engineer's proposal aroused dissatisfaction among some maintenance engineers: What does this have to do with President Tianzhong Yi? Someone deliberately discredits the president and even spreads vicious rumors. Isn't that aimed at Tai Du Repairer's Association?
At this time, instead of going all out to find the murderer, you want the president to come forward and make it happen. How vicious are your intentions? This person said very frankly: I also want to catch the murderer as soon as possible, but if I don't investigate the matter clearly, how should I start?
Anyway, if Tianzhong Yi came forward to make a statement, it wouldn't be a problem, right?
His answer also resonated with quite a few maintenance engineers.
The vast majority of maintenance workers are indignant, not because they blindly support the president of the association, but because they feel that their personal safety has been affected.
Tianzhong Yi has many supporters, but the maintenance technicians who are aloof from him are the mainstream.
In fact, some people still harbor resentment in their hearts: Why the hell do you want us to take the blame for what you caused?
Most people who can hold the job of maintenance technicians are not stupid. More than one person has thought of the abnormality in this matter.
Moreover, many people are well aware of the work style of Tianzhong Yi father and son.
No one mentioned it before, so everyone can only follow the crowd and pursue their own safety first, which can be regarded as the correct rule.
But now someone has raised it tit for tat, and more and more people are agreeing with it.
So Tai Du officially responded to everyone's request and contacted Tianzhong Yi through Repairer's Headquarters of Central City.
Tianzhong Yi President categorically denied the rumors, stating that his son's ability to publish high-level manuscripts was purely due to his strength.
He expressed great indignation when faced with the murder of many maintenance technicians.
He hopes that the authorities will attach great importance to the safety of maintenance personnel - logistical issues are related to the stability of the entire Tian-character District!
His answer made the proposed maintenance man dissatisfied: In this case, why didn't the president come back to confront Dai Xingyan?
Or could you please tell me, President, what happened at Central City that made you reluctant to come back? Is there anything you can inquire about about me? Tianzhong Yi replied disdainfully: I will go back soon.
Anyway, his statement gave supporters another shot in the arm.
Someone stood up and accused the maintenance technician who asked the question of bad intentions!
When we should be unanimous in communicating with the outside world, you artificially create conflicts in the circle of maintenance engineers for invisible purposes! The person who asked the question retorted disdainfully, I did this to solve the problem, not just to kneel down and lick an absent president.
Of course he also has selfish motives, but being entrusted by the Dai family is only one of the reasons. He sincerely considers the maintenance circle! That night, while the man who came forward to accuse was driving, his vehicle suddenly burst into flames, and his whole body was extensively burned.
After rescuing him all night, he died at dawn.
At this time, the camp supporting Tianzhong Yi has shrunk again, and almost no one has stood up and spoken out publicly.
Amid this ebb and flow, voices questioning Tianzhong Yi became louder and louder, and many people called on the president to come back and openly confront him.
However, where does Tianzhong Yi dare to go back? He was very sure that the death of the five maintenance technicians was the other party's blatant revenge.
For those people's deaths, it would be false to say that he didn't feel sorry for them at all. After all, they were all his die-hard supporters.
But now his own situation is very dangerous, and he doesn't care about feeling sorry for it at all.
Moreover, seeing that the other party refused to talk about compensation, he already had a rough guess in his mind: he had offended the person to death!
Now it is not a matter of his son's life or death at all. He believes that if he goes back, there is a high probability that he will be killed by the other party.
So his biggest goal at the moment is how to stay on Central City.
Just being in Central City is not enough, he must rely on Repairer's Headquarters, even in a slightly remote place! When Tianzhong Yi left, Hidden Agent was left behind at Tai Du. It was very clear how those five maintenance technicians died.
There are various signs that among the murderers who killed the maintenance technicians, there were at least two Modified Warrior.
There is no need to elaborate on how he calculated it, but it is definitely not wrong.
However, it is very difficult to rely on Repairer's Headquarters all the time.
Tianzhong Yi's status in the headquarters is not low. After all, he is the number one person of Tian-character District Repairer's Association.
Many people who were born in Central City are not as high as him in the headquarters.
However, the truth is this, he is a "countryman" from Residential Area after all.
People with Central City status look at him with a vague feeling of looking down.
It's okay for him to stay temporarily at the headquarters for ten or eight days. If it stays for a long time, people will naturally say strange things.
He came here this time because the headquarters had some things to discuss with him. About three days would be enough.
But he was so shameless that he stayed there for more than ten days and even brought his son with him. This was a bit excessive.
Later, someone couldn't help but Yin-Yang said angrily, "President Tianzhong Yi, are you going to be transferred to the headquarters?"
The person who talks like this is not as good as him, but he is a Central City native! At this time, Tianzhong Yi could only reluctantly throw money away - first use Silver Coin to block other people's mouths.
However, this is not a long-term solution. It is not too difficult to live for three to five months. How about one or two years?
So Tianzhong Yi is now anxious to ask if Collect Money is willing to take action against Modified Warrior, Ultimate Warrior.
Within a few days, senior executives from the headquarters came and wanted to see Tianzhong Yi.
The article "Some Thoughts and Suggestions on Garbage Recycling" was finally noticed by the headquarters, and someone was very interested in it.
I heard that the author Tianzhong Yi is currently at the headquarters, so I invited him to talk about this article.
Tianzhong Yi After hearing about it, he must go with his son.
However, it is very regrettable that Tianzhong Yi's response is really a bit awkward.
Faced with one question after another, he could still stammer a few words at first, but in the end he could only speak at a loss for words.
The senior executive who asked the question was also very disappointed, and finally couldn't help but ask bluntly, "Did you write this manuscript?"
"I wrote it," Tianzhong Yi insisted on this point, "It's just that something happened recently and my mind is a little confused."
If he were not targeted by those two Modified Warrior, he would indeed have time to digest this article carefully.
It's a pity that he rushed to finish the draft in the early stage, for fear that the other party would rewrite it, and he didn't have time to think carefully.
Now he wants to take this opportunity to attract people from the headquarters to help him deal with those two people.
But the person who asked the question didn't answer the question at all. Experts would know if it was there as soon as they stretched out their hands. The manuscript was definitely not written by Tianzhong Yi!
For the sake of President Tian-character District, he did not tell the truth, but just waved his hand and said, "Then you can go back and improve it."
Tianzhong Yi feels that this is an opportunity that can be exploited.
He openly declared that my son's manuscript had been approved by high-level officials and needed to be improved.
Where is the best place to complete a theory? Of course it's Repairer's Headquarters!
There is a lot of information here, as well as maintenance engineers who have made great achievements in various fields. If you communicate and collide, you may get inspiration.
At least for now, they have reason to rely on Repairer's Headquarters.
After hearing this, the senior executive who asked the question snorted disdainfully, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
Not long after, the news reached Dai Xingyan's ears, and she came to the outskirts of the city again to report the news.
President Dai even guessed that Tianzhong Yi was using a big banner as a cover, but there is an objective fact: the father and son will not be able to come back in the short term.
Bentley said with disdain, "You said you would be back soon, why are you so thick-skinned?"
Isn't this the Wasteland version of returning to China next week? Qu Jianlei is really not surprised.
Seeing the unconvinced look on President Dai's face, he couldn't help but point out to her, "You have other resources that you can use."
Dai Xingyan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "Do you know my family's resources?"
"How do I know?" Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I mean Tai Du's Rich Area... aren't those also resources?"
Dai Xingyan was startled for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I understand, let them put pressure on me, right?"
The death of the five maintenance technicians seemed to have a great impact on Tai Du, but in fact it was not.
The maintenance engineer's circle is in turmoil, but other people's lives are still how they should be lived.
Except for the vehicle that became very popular and attracted great attention from the society, not many people really paid attention to it.
Wasteland people are different from Blue Star people, because the pressure to survive is too great, and there are really not that many people who want to eat melons.
However, there was another person's death that also caused a small-scale agitation - the Rank A maintenance man who drowned in the bathtub.
The restlessness is not because he is Rank A, but because... he lives in Rich Area! Rich Area of Tai Du brings together more than half of Tycoon of Tian-character District - some people do not live there all the time, but at least want to buy a house.
Rich Area is actually very sensitive to the occurrence of abnormal murders, and their reaction is no less than that of maintenance technicians.
But at the same time, this is also a group of very well-informed people, and... the rich also have circles.
Soon, they knew that this was someone from Central City who was dissatisfied with the Repairer's Association.
Many people even know that even Dai Family was involved in this matter.
Now that the matter is none of their business, most people stop exerting pressure.
It's not that no one can afford to provoke Dai Family. The key is that the murderer is Modified Warrior from Central City. Who is crazy enough to provoke him?
But then again, the occurrence of such a murder in the originally safe Rich District made everyone feel very uncomfortable.
No one likes uncontrollable situations, especially these Tycoon who are used to controlling situations.
Dai Xingyan instantly understood what Qu Jianlei meant. Such a resource should not be used in vain.
Then she immediately went to make arrangements.
Tian-character District is the boss in Residential Area. How Great Expert are the rich people here? Most people would never think of it.
Bentley is also a Central City native with a well-off family. Huang-character District's fugitives can destroy his entire family.
So don't underestimate the energy of these rich people.
Tianzhong Yi felt the pressure from Tian-character District Tycoon on the second day.
