Of course, not everyone has a hard time.
For example, Bai Xiong has made a lot of money by speculating on public bonds. The New Year's red envelope given to Bai Xiuzhu alone is worth 20,000 yuan.
It turns out that as Prime Minister, he naturally knew the news about the rise and fall of public bonds early, so he made a lot of money by buying and selling them.
This does not include his gains from making money from the country, accepting bribes, and embezzling public funds.
It can be said that in just two years since he became prime minister, the Bai family's wealth has increased at least five times. He is really greedy and extremely greedy.
The surge in power and wealth also made him more arrogant and arrogant.
"Yanxi, our Bai family is much more lively than your Jin family, so you and my sister can just move back here." Bai Xiongqi suggested to Xiang Nan again.
He and his wife had no children and only had a younger sister, Bai Xiuzhu, so he doted on her very much and valued her as a daughter. Naturally, he wanted to keep her by his side and take her under his knees.
"Thank you for your love, brother. I know that you love Xiuzhu and are worried that I will bully her." Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Actually, you don't have to think like this, there is absolutely no way I will bully Xiuzhu. If you don't believe me, you can ask her .”
He will not move to the Bai family. It’s not like the Jin family doesn’t have a house, and it’s not like they can’t afford to support their daughter-in-law, so why should they let her live in her parents’ house permanently? What's more, he was the one who married his wife in the first place, not as a son-in-law, so there was no reason for him to move to his wife's natal family.
Bai Xiongqi saw the Jin family in despair, so he deliberately humiliated him like this.
…
"Okay, let's talk about this later. I want you to write a few articles for me." Bai Xiongqi added, "I have been the prime minister for two years. I have many things to do and have made a lot of achievements, but the public opinion has a lot of negative opinions about me. Slander, I hope you can help me clarify it. With your high talent and good writing skills, this shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?”
Recently, news about his corruption, bribery, and betrayal of his country for glory have appeared frequently in the newspapers, causing him to suffer a lot of criticism. Even the president, congressmen, and officials have objections to him, and there are endless calls for him to take the blame and resign.
That's why he urgently needed to turn the situation around and hoped that Xiang Nan would stand up and speak for him.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In the two years since Bai Xiongqi became Prime Minister, he has been corrupt, imposed excessive taxes, acted against the will, and committed many evil deeds. The media has almost given him a bad name.
Newspapers often published articles criticizing him, students took to the streets to protest every few days, and even lower-level officials scolded him.
At this time, Bai Xiongqi asked himself to write an article to clear his name, which was simply pushing him into a pit of fire. If he dares to write, he will be ruined and will be infamy for eternity.
The good image, good reputation and good status he has worked hard to establish will all be gone. Overnight, he was reduced from the "poetry soul of a young man" to a "running dog scholar" serving the purpose of the warlord.
Bai Xiongqi's doing this is tantamount to cutting off Xiang Nan's path, which is even worse than killing him directly.
"Brother, I've never been interested in politics." Xiang Nan immediately laughed and said, "I just write some acid poems, just a few. You asked me to help you write articles, but I really can't do it. Well, I'm in culture I know some people in the world. How about I help you look for them and see if anyone is interested."
"Yan Xi, you are my brother-in-law, and I gave you such a good sister. Now I am asking you for such a small thing, and you won't help me?" Bai Xiongqi said with a straight face after hearing this.
For a high-ranking official like him to find some unscrupulous literati with no conscience, it is simply a matter of their own hands. But who has the influence of Xiang Nan?
He can now be hailed as the "Soul of Youth Poetry". Tens of millions of young people across the country like him. Only when such a person stands up and speaks has weight. Other literati may publish a thousand or ten thousand articles, but one of them may not be as influential as his.
"Brother, I misunderstood. We are a family. How could I not want to help you?" Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "But it is precisely because we are a family, so even if I say nice things to you, others won't believe you." . So it’s better to find a third person to write it, as it will be easier to win people’s trust.”
"Hmph~" Bai Xiongqi curled his lips, but he knew that Xiang Nan was just perfunctory. Just for my sister's sake, I really can't argue with him. If it were anyone else, he would definitely take action and teach him a lesson.
Xiang Nan was a little unhappy when he saw this.
Knowing that Bai Xiongqi now holds great power and is greedy for profit, he has become increasingly unconscionable. If things continue like this, the Jin and Bai families will fall out sooner or later.
…
After leaving the Bai family, Xiang Nan went to Xiangshan Bieye and told Jin Quan about Bai Xiongqi.
"How dare he do this?" When Jin Quan heard this, he was immediately excited.
Xiang Nan's image of Qingliu was very easy to establish. He wrote so many poems, so many songs, so many plays... to win the support of the people.
With his current popularity, if you want to enter politics, it really shouldn't be too easy.
Even if he is not in politics, he has such influence among young people that all forces dare not underestimate him.
This is the capital that the Jin family now needs to establish itself and make a comeback.
But Bai Xiongqi asked Xiang Nan to praise him and bet his life's reputation. Doing this is even worse than throwing shit and urine on him.
Because throwing shit and urine only stink for a while, but once you praise him, it will be criticized by thousands of people and will be stink for thousands of years.
In this way, the image of Qingliu that Xiang Nan had so hard to establish will be gone. The Jin family will also be buried with the Bai family, which is obviously to dig up the foundation of the Jin family.
"He has done so many evil things, yet he still has the nerve to ask you to clear his name?" Jin Quan said angrily.
Although he has been an official for more than 30 years, he considers himself to have good personal ethics and has never committed corruption, perverting the law, or cheating. But Bai Xiongqi was different. He was greedy and extorted money, so he was nicknamed "Three Feet High in the Sky".
Such people still have the ability to clear their faces, which is really a scandal to the world.
"Father, please calm down." Xiang Nan saw that his veins were popping with anger and his breathing was becoming rapid. He quickly held his hand and used his inner strength to coordinate his blood and energy to prevent him from being seriously injured. body.
"It's my fault this time. I originally thought that due to his relationship with our Jin family, he should be able to protect our Jin family after taking office, so I advised you to give up your position to him. Now it seems that I really I'm sorry." Xiang Nan apologized, "I'm sorry, Dad!"
"It's none of your business. Even if the Prime Minister's position was not passed to him, I would still step down if he loses." Jin Quan waved his hand and said, "Besides, even without my support, someone as good as him who is good at maneuvering will still be able to step down." He will also look for opportunities to rise to the top. So I can’t blame you for this. If I am to blame, I can only blame me for being blind and mistakenly trusting him, a white-eyed wolf, which led to today’s disaster.”
Without his support, Bai Xiongqi would only be a director-level official at most, and would not be able to threaten the Jin family.
