Chapter 1425: Aftermath

It is said that one should brush off the dust and leave after a deed is done. Zhao Fusheng naturally wouldn't do anything annoying. After the girl and the police officer got together, he turned and left.

People who attempt suicide are generally like this: if they aren't truly determined to die, once they are saved, they won't try to kill themselves again.

One thought leads to heaven, one thought leads to hell.

Many things often come down to a single moment of choice.

As for Hu Donghai and the others hitting people, perhaps because Zhao's father had called, or because those people were truly annoying, the police officers didn't even bother to look into the matter.

So Zhao Fusheng simply swaggered away with Hu Donghai and the other person.

“Old Hu, what's wrong with people these days?”

Walking along the road, Zhao Fusheng casually asked Hu Donghai: “I feel like people nowadays have turned bad.”

This was his true feeling at that moment. After all, no one knew better than Zhao Fusheng what future China would become.

The shamelessness of the Chinese people lies in the fact that there seems to be nothing they dare not do: profiting from national disasters, profiting from lives, profiting by ruining the next generation.

Why does everyone like imported goods?

It's not about worshipping foreign things; it's because, damn it, no one knows if domestic products will screw you over.

Once, a friend of Zhao Fusheng's had his child bullied by a teacher in kindergarten. With no recourse, he finally posted this on his Moments: “Don't keep talking about patriotism. What is there to love about this country?”

Although Zhao Fusheng wanted to argue with him, thinking about what had happened to him, he didn't know what to say.

Sometimes, it's not that we don't love our country, but that we really don't know how to love it.

Hu Donghai heard Zhao Fusheng's words and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he said in a muffled voice: “Maybe our laws are too lenient.”

Zhao Fusheng was startled, then couldn't help nodding. Perhaps that was indeed the case.

Perhaps influenced by Confucian thought, Chinese people always like to talk about forgiveness and mercy, always feeling that those who have made mistakes should be given a chance to repent.

That's why corrupt officials dare to reach out, and villains dare to act recklessly, because they know that no matter how many mistakes they make, their lives won't be in danger.

It's funny to say, even when fake vaccines harmed so many children, the masterminds still get to keep their lives, because the crime doesn't warrant death.

Heh, harsh laws are certainly frightening, but if the laws were truly strict, couldn't some unnecessary crimes be prevented?

For instance, in Zhao Fusheng's memory, how could a female singer who became famous with “You Exist in My Song” live so comfortably abroad? Wasn't it all thanks to her corrupt mother, an official?

If the laws were stricter, could such things be avoided?

And then there's that so-called famous angel investor who likes to visit prostitutes. Did he really think that just because he worked with Masayoshi Son, he could be worth billions? To put it bluntly, wasn't it because he conned the son of a corrupt official who fled abroad, tricked the man's daughter-in-law into marrying him, and got both the woman and the money?

I just wonder how the provincial party committee's first lady, who would rather be sentenced to death than reveal the whereabouts of the stolen money, would react upon hearing this news.

Letting out a silent sigh, Zhao Fusheng stopped speaking. Some things he truly had no way to change.

…

…

The department store was not far from Wanda Commercial Plaza, so Zhao Fusheng didn't take a car but walked to his father's company.

Arriving at Father Zhao's office, the old man had already finished his meeting and was reviewing documents.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Zhao Fusheng enter, Father Zhao asked with some surprise.

He had originally thought Zhao Fusheng would still be dealing with things for a while.

But Father Zhao had never been worried, after all, in his eyes, Zhao Fusheng wasn't the type to act without knowing the stakes; since he had fought, there must have been a reason.

"Nothing much, just came to see you," Zhao Fusheng explained to his father.

"All taken care of?"

Father Zhao put down the documents in his hand and asked casually.

"More or less." Zhao Fusheng smiled, explained the whole story from start to finish, and finally said, "That girl is said to be a Wanda employee. Later, check it out and fire that scumbag."

Although he was very dissatisfied with the girl's suicidal behavior, Zhao Fusheng also felt that a scumbag who played both sides didn't deserve to stay at Wanda.

A man can be flirtatious, but only if he has the capital and strength. Being amorous isn't the same as being promiscuous; changing girlfriends like changing clothes at most shows someone is a playboy, but having one foot in two boats is not good.

"Alright, I'll have the people below look into it later," Father Zhao nodded.

It wasn't a big deal anyway; the police station would certainly notify Wanda, so he didn't take it to heart. A casual instruction would be enough for someone to handle it.

After all, Father Zhao was also a traditional man, and he felt a particular aversion to the young people's behavior of playing both sides.

"By the way, where's Baobao?"

Father Zhao suddenly remembered that Zhao Fusheng had come, but Fan Baobao hadn't.

"I told her to go home first."

Zhao Fusheng replied, "After all, she's a public figure. It's better for her to stay out of this kind of thing."

"Right, right, right." Father Zhao nodded repeatedly, "She really shouldn't get involved in this."

The father and son chatted for a while longer. Father Zhao thought for a moment and said to Zhao Fusheng, "I'm going to inspect the subsidiary companies today. Do you want to come along?"

Zhao Fusheng frowned slightly, paused, thought it over, and nodded, "Sure, I'll go with you."

Although he didn't know why his father said that, since the old man brought it up, he might as well accompany him.

Father Zhao was quite pleased and immediately called his secretary to make arrangements.

More than an hour later, a massive convoy set off from Wanda Plaza, startling everyone.

"What's going on?"

Someone who didn't know asked a Wanda security guard.

"Not sure. Seems like the big boss is going out for an inspection," the guard replied.

Similarly, inside the company, some people were also puzzled.

"What's gotten into the boss?" An employee familiar with Father Zhao's character looked bewildered. They knew their boss wasn't one to show off; many old employees knew that the boss and his wife weren't the type to seek the spotlight. It was said that when the mall was first established, the couple even helped unload goods at the transport department.

"Heh heh, you don't know?" Someone said mysteriously, "I just saw the boss get into the car with a young man."

A young man?

Everyone was taken aback. Those quick on the uptake suddenly had a thought and blurted out, "Could it be that he's back?"
