Chapter 137: Waves of Hype (first update to celebrate Meng Zhu Biyunxuan)
Qu Jianlei learned that his manuscript had been plagiarized through Bentley.
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, if you use this as a guise, you can completely reject Dai Xingyan's manuscript invitation in the future, but you can still look aggrieved. How good is it?
But seeing that both Bentley and Hua Xiezi were 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 was a little surprised. Is she so patient?
What was rare was that Bentley was not rude and asked, "Where did they go in Central City?"
Dai Xingyan replied, "The Maintenance Engineer Headquarters...may have escaped under the guise of official business."
"Then just wait," Bentley nodded and said no more.
Flower Scorpion is cautious by nature. Hearing this, he nodded, "Yes, I agree."
The next day, Dai Xingyan came again and said, "Tan Zhongyi sent someone to negotiate and is willing to pay 50,000 silver dollars to apologize."
When I first started talking about this amount, it didn't sound low.
But as long as you are interested and make some inquiries, you will know that Tiangong paid at least 80,000 silver dollars 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 very 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 Xiezi 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 such a bully."
Hua Scorpion asked with great interest, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Tanaka Yi has a family in Taidu," Dai Xingyan's eyes flashed with coldness, "Are you interested?"
Bentley nodded, "If you go too far, it's normal for your family to suffer."
Hua Scorpion had a different opinion, "Let's wait a little longer. What should we do if we deal with his family at this time? They both have a crooked mouth in the house?"
"We're not afraid that he'll twist his mouth, but why make simple things so complicated? That would be a bit troublesome."
"That's reasonable," Dai Xingyan said, although she really wanted them to fight Tanaka Yi, she 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 Taidu and has too many iron men."
Bentley's reaction was quick, "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 idea... leave the killing to me!"
Bentley's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Did you invite the transformation warriors?"
"I've invited three," Dai Xingyan replied proudly, "I've already told you to leave such trivial matters to me!"
Of course, killing people is not a trivial matter, especially killing those influential maintenance engineers.
But Dai Xingyan thinks that it is much more convenient for her to do this. After all, her family belongs to Taidu, so it is easier to find someone to cooperate.
As expected, Bentley nodded simply, "Okay, save us the time."
Dai Xingyan smiled and said to herself that the Ultimate Warrior is really good at it, even traveling is troublesome.
Two days later, there was a sudden rumor in Taidu City: President Tanaka Yoshitsune of the Maintenance Engineers Association was annoying and might not be able to come back!
No one paid much attention to this rumor at first, but soon the rumor started to take 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 Tanaka Yoshi's son, Tanakaichi, plagiarized a maintenance engineer's article and published it in a heavyweight journal.
Unexpectedly, the maintenance engineer had a very strong background, so he was so frightened that Tanaka Yi and his son ran away.
This rumor is actually very restrained, and it does not say that Tanakaichi took it upon himself without asking, let alone that the matter happened in the Houjing City Maintenance Engineers Association.
But even so, the maintenance technicians in Taidu were still furious, denounced this rumor one after another, and stated that they would investigate the source.
Some people even made it clear: Just such a garbage collection suggestion could make Tanakaichi do such a thing?
In fact, there are 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 died down, new rumors emerged.
This time, the rumors were very detailed, including the time and place, and even pointed out that it was in Dai Xingyan's office.
This news once again detonated the circle of repairmen. Because the description was too detailed, some repairmen even went to seek verification.
In their view, the Dai family can be regarded as Taidu people. Unfortunately, the answer given by the Dai family is: This matter is true!
As a result, some maintenance engineers stopped working, and some began to accuse the Dai family, calling them Taidu traitors.
There are also a small number of maintenance technicians 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 Tanaka Yoshi 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 dollars, but it was still rejected.
"Did you know? The person whose manuscript was stolen knows many transformation warriors..."
"Back then, the Tiangong Maintenance Factory in Houjing offended him and several transformation warriors died, but they spent another 200,000 yuan to let him go!"
So someone else went to the branch of Tiangong Maintenance Factory in Taidu to inquire about the situation.
However, the Tiangong people said in unison that we don't know what happened in Houjing and don't want to inquire.
When Qu Jianlei was at Blue Star, he didn't study how to hype things up, but he never ate pork and always saw pigs running away.
Those factors can be easily seen on the Internet. He stayed at home, but he was not out of touch with the times.
He really had this wave of news updates and bombardments at his fingertips.
But for the wastelanders, this operation is too rare, and the news is released bit by bit, which is enough to impress people.
When the incident became serious enough, a maintenance engineer from Taidu rushed to Houjing to find out the truth.
However, there are also maintenance technicians who strongly support Tanaka Yoshi and his son, and curse the people of Houkyo for being despicable.
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 an A-level maintenance engineer drowned alive in his own bathtub.
What's even more incredible is that this person's residence is in a wealthy area of Taidu.
A-level maintenance technicians are not short of money, and this one is especially not short of money because the conditions of his home are very good.
His professional ability is not outstanding among A-level 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 A-level maintenance engineer examination because of Tanaka Yi's relationship.
He has always been close to President Tanaka Yoshitsune and cared 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, news spread that four maintenance engineers who supported Tanaka Yoshi and his son died unexpectedly.
The news quickly detonated the entire maintenance engineer circle. After being shocked, all the maintenance engineers were furious.
Together, they put pressure on the authorities to find the murderer 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 were probably people who had done evil to Hou Jing, and the reason was very clear.
The Dai family is deeply rooted in Taidu, so there are no maintenance personnel to directly block the door, but there are many people with crooked lips.
Some family members of the deceased were crying and swearing loudly at the door of Dai's house. They were beaten and kicked away by the guards of Dai's house.
The Dai family is really so arrogant. It is inappropriate to kill people on the street in Taidu, but beating away the offender is nothing.
The Taidu official could not express its position on this, and could only ask the Dai family in a formal manner.
But Dai Jia said that he has no idea what you are talking about.
Dai Xingyan is the most suspected? Sorry, she has been in Houjing and it seems that she has not been home for more than half a year.
Calls for a strict investigation of the murderer are getting louder, but Taidu officials say they have no clues yet.
However, there are various signs that among the perpetrators, there is at least one reformed warrior - the murderer may come from above.
But someone still suggested that Hou Jing could be asked to cooperate with the investigation to see what Terry and Jian Lei were doing in those days.
However, at this time, someone finally raised an objection: Should Tanaka Yi and his son take a stand on this matter?
The person who made the suggestion was also a maintenance engineer, and he was not usually very close to Tanaka Yi.
(First update, "He Meng is the Lord of Biyunxuan".)——————
Chapter 138: One goes down and the other goes up (Second update to congratulate the cute master Mei Renxin)
This maintenance engineer's proposal aroused dissatisfaction among some maintenance engineers: What does this have to do with President Tanaka Yoshitsune?
Someone deliberately discredits the president and even spreads vicious rumors. Isn’t that aimed at the Taidu Maintenance Engineers 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 Tanaka Yoshi 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 filled with indignation, not because they blindly support the president of the association, but because they feel that their personal safety has been affected.
Tanaka Yoshi has many supporters, but maintenance engineers 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 a job as 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 way Tanaka Yoshi and his son work.
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.
So Taidu officials responded to everyone's requests and contacted Tanaka Yi through the maintenance engineer headquarters in Central City.
President Yoshitsune Tanaka categorically denied the rumors, stating that his son's ability to publish high-level manuscripts was purely due to his strength.
Faced with the murder of many maintenance technicians, he expressed great indignation.
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 Tianzi District!
His answer made the proposed maintenance man dissatisfied: In that case, why didn't the president come back to confront Dai Xingyan?
Or, President, could you please tell me what happened in Central City that made me reluctant to come back?
Is there anything you can ask about about me? Tanaka 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!
At a time when we should be unanimous in dealing 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, the 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 Tanaka Yi shrunk again, and almost no one stood up and spoke out publicly.
Amid this ebb and flow, the voices questioning Tanaka Yoshi became louder and louder, and many people called on the president to come back and openly confront him.
However, how could Tanaka Yi dare to go back? He was very sure that the death of the five maintenance technicians was the other party's blatant revenge.
It would be false to say that he didn't feel sorry for those people's deaths at all. After all, they were all his die-hard supporters.
But now that his own situation is very dangerous, 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 no longer a matter of his son's life and death. 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 in Central City without leaving.
Just being in Central City is not enough, he must stay at the maintenance division headquarters, even in a slightly remote place!
When Tanaka Yi left, he left behind a secret in Taidu. He knew exactly how the five maintenance engineers died.
There are various signs that among the murderers who killed the maintenance technicians, there were at least two transformation warriors.
There is no need to elaborate on how he calculated it, but it is certainly not wrong.
However, it is very difficult to stay at the maintenance engineer headquarters all the time.
Tanaka Yi's status in the headquarters is not low. After all, he is the number one figure in the Tianzi District Maintenance Engineers Association.
Many people from Central City do not have a higher position in the headquarters than him.
However, the truth is this, after all, he is a "country boy" from a ghetto.
People with Central City status looked at him with a vague sense of looking down.
It's okay for him to stay temporarily at the headquarters for about 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 said angrily, "President Tanaka Yoshitsune, 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 native of Central City!
At this time, Tanaka Yi had no choice but to reluctantly throw money away - first, he used silver dollars 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, but can it be lived for one or two years?
So Tanaka Yi is now anxious to ask if there is any ultimate warrior who is willing to take money to attack the reformed warriors.
A few days later, senior officials from the headquarters came and asked to see Tanaka Kazuki.
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 Tanaka Kazu was currently at the headquarters, so I invited him to come and talk about this article.
After hearing about it, Tanaka Yi definitely wanted to accompany his son.
However, it is very regrettable that Tanakaichi's response is really a bit awkward.
Faced with one question after another, he could 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," Tanaka insisted on this point, "but something happened recently and my mind is a little confused."
If he were not targeted by the two reformed warriors, he would indeed have time to digest this article carefully.
It's a pity that he rushed to finish the manuscript in the early stage, fearing that the other party would rewrite it, and did not 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 Tanaka Ichi!
For the sake of the president of Tianzi District, he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and said, "Then you can go back and improve it."
Tanaka Yi felt that this was an opportunity that could be exploited.
He openly declared that my son’s manuscript had been approved by senior management and needed to be improved.
If you want to perfect a theory, where is the most suitable place? Of course, the maintenance engineer 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 a reason to stay at the maintenance engineer headquarters.
After the senior executive who asked the question heard about it, he snorted with disdain, 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.
The acting president even guessed that Tanaka 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 also 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 the acting president's face, he couldn't help but point out to her, "You have other resources that you can use."
When Dai Xingyan heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, "Do you know my family's resources?"
"How would I know?" Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I mean the wealthy area of Taidu... isn't that also a resource?"
Dai Xingyan was stunned for a moment, and her 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 Taidu, 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 that one vehicle that was very popular and attracted great attention from the society, not many people really paid attention to it.
The people of the Wastelanders are different from the people of Blue Star. Because they are under too much pressure to survive, there really are not that many people who want to eat melons.
However, there was another person's death that also caused a small-scale agitation - the A-level maintenance engineer who drowned in the bathtub.
The restlessness is not because he is A-level, but because... he lives in a wealthy area!
The rich area of Taidu is home to more than half of the wealthy people in Tianzi District - some people don't live there all the time, but at least they want to buy a house.???.
When abnormal murders occur in wealthy areas, they are actually very sensitive, and their reaction is no less than that of maintenance technicians.
But at the same time, this is a group of people who are very well-informed, and... the rich also have circles.
Soon, they knew that this was someone from Central City who was dissatisfied with the Maintenance Engineers Association.
Many people even know that even the Dai family was involved in this matter.
Since the matter has nothing to do with them, most people stop exerting pressure.
It's not that no one can offend the Dai family. The key point is that the murderer is a transformation warrior from Central City. Who is crazy enough to provoke him?
But then again, the occurrence of such murders in the originally safe wealthy area made everyone feel very uncomfortable.
No one likes uncontrollable situations, especially these rich people who are used to controlling situations.
Dai Xingyan immediately understood what Qu Jianlei meant. Such a resource should not be used in vain.
Then she immediately went to make arrangements.
Tianzi District is the boss of the residential areas. How powerful are the rich people here? Most people can't imagine it.
Bentley is also a native of Central City with a well-off family. He is a fugitive from the deserted area and can wipe out his entire family.
So don’t underestimate the energy of these rich people.
On the second day, Tanaka Yi felt the pressure from the wealthy people in Tianzi District.
