Ever since that investigation, Zhou Hao and Yang Jiabao had never seen He Xiangping again, and news of him being sentenced to death soon appeared on the news.
Only, Zhou Hao knew that when the news of He Xiangping being sentenced to death was broadcast, He Xiangping was actually already dead.
With regards to He Xiangping's crime, the Public Security Department's handling of it was different from the usual confidential measures that were used to deal with criminals.
The most eye-catching part was that He Xiangping had colluded with the criminals and used the mass media to trick the masses into buying stocks.
In just one night, He Xiangping had changed from being revered as a Stock God of China, to being scolded by everyone.
As for the other "main culprits", since He Xiangping had already attracted everyone's attention, not many people paid attention to them. They only vaguely remembered a few people's sentences, ranging from ten years to life imprisonment.
One thing worth mentioning was Guang Hua Academy, those old professors, old principals, and others had originally wanted to use their connections and connections to save He Xiangping.
However, seeing that He Xiangping had committed a crime that had conclusive evidence, and how the country dealt with it so swiftly and decisively, coupled with the fact that the people outside deeply detested and detested He Xiangping.
Therefore, the President of the Guang Hua Academy immediately changed his attitude and joined in on the scolding of He Xiangping. He even held a few review conferences inside the academy, and held a few events that focused on ethics and morality, to correct the school's style.
Even though Yang Jiabao was extremely displeased with him, she could not help but exclaim coldly upon seeing this situation.
Other than He Xiangping, Central TV, which had single-handedly "glorified" him, was also severely criticized by the Communist Party's propaganda department. Station Head Zhao Huazong had resigned because of his fault.
Afterwards, the Ministry of Public Information had also conducted a nationwide "Moral Clearance of Public Opinion" exercise, which had led the provinces and municipalities to seriously reorganize the media and public opinion in the district. It had allowed the gradually eroding domestic media industry to be cleared up.
Although Zhou Hao knew that it was impossible to completely "cleanse" the media industry, it could at least make the public opinion in the country less unruly and to the point that it was hard to control.
Because of the strict style and objective reporting, Galaxy Television of the Polaris Media Group had been praised greatly by the Propaganda Department, which made the already-strong Galaxy TV show its face once again.
Zhou Hao knew that this was government "repayment" to him, and accepted it peacefully.
With Zhao Yuqin and Yang Jiabao's company, Zhou Hao felt that the days were passing by extremely quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.
Peking University had long since taken their winter vacation, but because Yang Jiabao was reluctant to leave, she stayed in Beijing until the 29th year of the new year before taking a plane to Guangxi.
Although it was still during the Spring Festival, Zhou Hao had already been considerate enough to book a plane ticket for her, so he didn't obstruct her.
On the day they left Beijing, Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin went to the airport to send Yang Jiabao off. This was also the first time Zhou Hao and Yang Jiabao appeared in front of him at the same time since their return to Beijing.
"Bad guy, when I'm not around, you're not allowed to look at other girls." When Yang Jiabao, who had a strong personality, left, he couldn't help but cry bitterly. After seeing Zhao Yuqin, who was standing next to him, she added, "Except elder sister."
Zhou Hao was noncommittal, this matter was not something he could easily agree to.
He stepped forward to hug Yang Jiabao, and gently reminded him: "After you go back, be more filial towards your parents and old man. Don't be as headstrong as before, no matter what, you're still a university student."
"Yes." Yang Jiabao pouted her cherry lips and replied, like a wronged little beast.
Then, Yang Jiabao hugged Zhao Yuqin again, and whispered into Zhao Yuqin's ear: "Elder sister, watch him properly, don't let him pick the flowers and get on her nerves."
"Big sister, you can save." Zhao Yuqin nodded in agreement.
In the end, Yang Jiabao walked into the boarding passage with seemingly every step she took, leaving Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin behind.
Seeing Zhou Hao's dejected expression, Zhao Yuqin comforted her gently, "Don't be like this, it's not like we won't meet again."
After saying that, she crossed her arms and helplessly said, "How could there be someone like me in this world? I have to accompany my man to give him his lover's plane and comfort him. I'm probably the only idiot in this world."
Seeing Zhao Yuqin's wronged look, Zhou Hao immediately hugged her and spoke sweet nothings, then pacified the beauty of the heaven and earth, as well as the illustrious older sister.
Although he could not return to the Xiang City to spend time with Yan Tong and the others, Zhou Hao still made a long phone call to them.
He first chatted with Yan Tong about family matters, then chatted with Wang Xijun and Yan Qing for half an hour, and then with Li Ruolan and Situ Jianying. Of course, he couldn't forget about Su Lin who needed to stay in Hong Kong to watch over the Asia Television Limited, and Liang Xiaobing who returned to Hong Kong after the touring concert.
Initially, Zhou Hao had also wanted to give He Xueyun a call, but thinking back to when she left without saying goodbye back in Venice, his heart was gloomy but at the same time, he also had a little resentment.
Furthermore, if He Xueyun was not in Xu Family then it would be very inconvenient to call her, so when Zhou Hao thought about it, he endured it.
On the other hand, Gao Jingyi, who was far away in the United States, called her family, and asked Gao Houlu to tell him that everything was fine with her in the United States.
Thinking about that girl who had an aloof personality but also silently liked him, Zhou Hao's heart was also filled with softness.
"Come, come, come. Have a taste of your godmother's wok. She began preparing it before dawn today." Zhao Rixin's bright laughter brought Zhou Hao's thoughts back to reality.
"Hur hur, I remember now. The godmother is from Boshan, I think she must have done it well." Zhou Hao laughed.
Yan Xinning smiled benevolently. "Dingzhou and Yuqin love to eat this. The method of cooking this wok isn't too difficult, even if it takes a long time. In our hometown, you must learn this dish before you get married, otherwise you won't be considered a good wife."
Zhou Hao said: "Sigh, you are still the virtuous and virtuous girl of the past, now you are becoming more and more girl and child."
Immediately, a jade-like hand extended from the side and pinched his ear, but it was Zhao Yuqin: "You little brat, stop pointing at us and scolding us. I have help with this wok."
Yan Xinning smiled at Zhao Rixin, "Look at these two children, they don't seem to grow up."
Although they said that, the two elders were actually very pleased with how Zhou Hao and got along with each other.
What they didn't know was that the relationship between Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin was far more "harmonious" than they had imagined.
As Zhao Dingzhou was a great general, he could not leave the territories of the territory, so he could not return to Beijing. Zhou Hao being here to accompany the two elders this year made the two elders even more happy.
After the New Year's Eve bell at the Bell and Drum Pavilion, a new year had officially arrived. Listening to the lively crowd outside, Zhou Hao was deeply moved.
In his previous life, he would never have thought of having the opportunity to spend the New Year in the home of the Politburo's Standing Committee.
"Xiao Hao, come, take the red packet, I hope that you can improve yourself in school." Zhao Rixin and Yan Xinning passed the red packet to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao laughed: "I also wish godmother good health and good luck."
Although Zhao Rixin's identity was illustrious, the red packet given to him was only a token of 100 yuan. Zhou Hao would not spend all the money he had left anyway, so he didn't care about all these.
That night, Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin naturally stayed overnight. Of course, with Zhao Rixin and his wife present, the two of them could not sleep together either, lest the two elders find out.
The next morning, Zhao Rixin brought Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin to the Chairman's house to pay respects to the new year, as did the Prime Minister and the other members of the Standing Committee. This was their habit, and if there was nothing else, they would come to the Chairman's house to pay respects to the new year.
This was the first time Zhou Hao had seen all of the standing committees in reality. He looked at those big bosses that he could normally only see in the television and newspapers, casually chatting about their sons and grandsons.
Zhou Hao felt that he had broadened his horizons as he thought: "I never thought that I would also have the honor of attending this year's' Standing Committee General Assembly '."
These big bosses had long heard of Zhou Hao, they all went up to him and praised him endlessly, as they also gave him red packets as per routine.
Zhou Hao held onto these red packets, and thought to himself: If others were to know that I have gathered all the red packets of the various standing committees of the entire nation, I wonder if anyone would believe it.
Since it was the first day of the new year, the standing committee members did not want to talk about the matters of the country and were happy instead.
At the same time, Zhou Hao also saw a youth who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old standing in a corner of the room, quietly looking at the people around him.
The youth was not even 1.6 meters tall, and his build was thin and delicate. His skin was slightly pale, and his features were delicate. There was also a tinge of melancholy in his eyes.
According to Zhou Hao, this youth had the potential to be a fake mother.
Seeing him standing there alone, as if he was looking at the world from a vantage point, Zhou Hao couldn't help but walk over and smile at him: "Little brother, why are you here alone, are you here with your parents or grandpa?"
Suddenly, the surrounding people all quietened down, and the stagnant atmosphere made Zhou Hao feel that something was amiss.
Seeing the stunned Zhao Yuqin on the other side, Zhou Hao asked with doubt: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "
"You don't seem to know who I am."
The young man opened his mouth and looked at Zhou Hao with a curious gaze. From his tone, he did not seem to be a fourteen or fifteen year old young man.
"Well, I really don't know you." Zhou Hao scratched his head.
"My name is Seven Kills. Those who know me all call me Second Boss." The youth smiled faintly.
