During the Spring Festival of 2020, the situation was changing and the whole country was quiet.
Cao Xuan had simply made certain preparations beforehand. Except for his eldest son returning to Korea, the whole family together with his father-in-law and mother-in-law were arranged to live in the capital. Although they did not live together, they were very close.
The situation was special, and it was difficult for Cao Xuan to stock up on too many things.
Caojia Hutong has always had an evacuation reserve. This was done when Cao Xuan was renovated. There is a small shelter and material storage point, which is strong enough to withstand the crisis of doomsday, but can still survive ordinary natural and man-made disasters.
Later, because of what happened in 2012, the East and West Palaces also became interested in Cao Xuan's arrangements.
Although times have changed and we have paid less and less attention to this, medicines and food are still regularly replaced and stored, which is enough for the whole family and staff for half a year.
For this reason, Cao Xuan did not go to war. He just used the excuse of buying new year's goods during the Spring Festival to prepare more. Later, the situation in Hubei Province was bad, so he stocked up some more.
It's reasonable and consistent with Cao Xuan's cautious character. Even the East and West Palaces don't have any doubts.
Before the Spring Festival, relevant units in Beijing announced the extension of the annual vacation and winter vacation, and then launched large-scale statistics and screening for residents who were quarantined at home.
Caojia Hutong belongs to Shichahai Subdistrict, and the medical staff responsible for screening is the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University.
Street leader Chen Wang led a team and knocked on the main door of Caojia Hutong: "Hello, the whole family is here to register for testing."
The new officer Liu Ming volunteered: "Director, you are busy here, would you like me, Xiao Liu, Dr. Sun and I to go to the front and work together quickly?"
"No."
Chen Wang's eyes were sad: "These are all from the same family, we can just wait here." "They are from the same family?"
Liu Ming was stunned. He looked at the almost endless alley passage, and his brain was somewhat deprived of oxygen.
Chen Wang understood his mood very well and patted his shoulder: "This family is in a special situation. Not many people in our street know about it. You will understand in a while."
Under normal circumstances, Chen Wang might have told him to keep it confidential, but looking at the staff and medical staff nearby, he swallowed his words.
He is even ready to answer the phone and leave after a while, or the other party will produce proof and say that it has been done or that he will do it at a certain designated place.
The water in Beijing is deep, and Chen Wang, as a veteran at the grassroots level, has long been prepared.
But he didn't expect that after a while, the door opened, and more than 20 people filed out wearing masks. Two children who looked young were even wearing protective clothing.
The leader, a tall man wearing a long woolen windbreaker, wearing a hat and a mask, came over and shook hands with Chen Wangxu.
"I am the head of the household, and everyone in our family is here. Thank you for your hard work, comrades." "Okay, let's line up together, register first, and then get tested."
Chen Wang responded quickly and made arrangements immediately. Liu Ming came forward with the registration form, and the leading man explained. "My parents are not very illiterate. Can I fill in the form?"
"No problem, we can help."
Even in the capital, there are a small number of old and middle-aged people who are illiterate. This staff member has experienced it all, and Liu Ming picked up the pen skillfully.
"Name?"
"Cao Shuangguo, the odd and even double, the country of the country." "Date of birth?"
"July 30, 1955."
"The situation of the children, their names, do they live together?" "We live together, I am his only son, my name is Cao Xuan." "Which Cao Xuan!?"
Liu Ming shook his right hand and almost scratched the form. The man looked familiar to him just now, but the man was properly protected, and because of the regulations, he couldn't be too close to see clearly.
Immediately after the leader arranged the work, Liu Ming was busy, coupled with the days of hard work, physical and mental exhaustion, and his mental state was very poor. He wanted to finish the work quickly and go back to rest.
Normally, he would have started asking about the information that the leader just sold, but he doesn't have much time to think about it now, so he doesn't have the energy to care about anything else.
To be honest, he has seen thousands if not tens of thousands of faces in the past few days. Just wearing masks, his facial features are all blurred to him, which makes his wife
It took two minutes to recognize him when he was dragged over.
Liu Ming's voice was a little loud, which alerted other staff and medical staff, and everyone looked at Cao Xuan. Like Liu Ming, everyone was busy and tired during this period, and many of the tasks were mechanical, except for one
Two sharp-eyed people, most people really didn't recognize them.
But in this way, this alley can be explained clearly. Boss Cao does have this strength. Cao Xuan came out, but he didn't think he could hide it. He clasped his hands and bowed slightly.
"I'm Cao Xuan. Thanks to everyone's hard work, our family has prepared some food. Let's talk about our feelings. I'll contact a comrade later and deliver it to your station."
At the critical moment, Chen Wang was able to hold on and immediately came out to take charge of the situation: "Okay, okay, everyone, thank you, Teacher Cao, for your support and continue working."
Liu Ming finished registering Cao Xuan and his parents in a daze. The people behind him were basically nannies and security personnel. In the middle was a woman with two children. She filled out the form and handed it back to him. Liu Ming didn't
He glanced at it animatedly.
The woman was Hu Jing. He was not surprised. He had recognized her when filling out the form just now.
After all, she was also one of the four young beauties back then. The popularity of Empress Donggong was no joke, and Liu Ming would definitely have to pay more attention when she was with her children.
What really excited him was the names of the other two tables - Cao Li, Cao Yang
The surname is Cao, and the relative column is filled with father/Cao Xuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Ming's hands were trembling a little at this time. The shocking giant melon made him touch it. If he didn't take his face into consideration, he couldn't help but scream.
Liu Mingqiang suppressed his excitement, and other staff and medical staff were not much better.
A pair of eyes were divided into two groups, one group followed Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, and the other group flew between the two children.
They did not see the form and were not sure about the true identities of the two children, but it was inevitable that they would have some guesses. After all, Cao Xuan, Hu Jing, and their family members, it was hard not to think of something.
Soon, they knew the truth they wanted to know.
Because there was a queue to call for the next test, when the names Cao Li and Cao Yang appeared at the test point, the temperature of the scene soared, and the burning fire of gossip emerged in everyone's eyes.
Even Chen Wang was no exception. Although he acted the most calm and composed, his eyes would drift to the two children from time to time.
Cao Xuan and the others may be a semi-open secret in the circle, but the child is relatively more secretive. When it comes to the outside world, it is covered up with many layers. Even if there are revelations and news on the Internet, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
At least for ordinary people, a lot of Cao Xuan's gossip and information are out of their reach or they don't know the authenticity.
But now that they can see it with their own eyes, or even come into close contact, the impact is still huge for people like them.
Even though they suppressed their emotions, a few girls couldn't help but scream out in surprise, but everyone can understand that it's not that their professionalism is not high, it's just that this thing is too big, and it wouldn't be much better if they were replaced by others.
Cao Xuan himself was quite calm, and he was still joking with the nurse during the test.
Of course, it might not be a joke. When the nurse saw that she could stab Cao Xuan in the throat, she was obviously excited and even eager to try. Boss Cao also hoped that the other party could calm down.
Because the Cao family was very cooperative, everything was done in less than 20 minutes.
"It's not convenient for me to join the group. We will send any notifications to it in the future. When the time comes, the testing will not be done on-site, but will be arranged at a nearby neighborhood committee or park."
"Okay, no problem, we will work together fully."
The housekeeper took out his mobile phone and joined the group. Cao Xuan thought for a while, and also took out his mobile phone and joined the group. He also added Chen Wang's WeChat privately. The latter would be responsible for the related work in Caojia Hutong during this period.
After that, Cao Xuan only had two people to interact with the staff, drove some supplies to the station, then said goodbye to Chen Wang and others, and closed the door and went home.
The entire team fell into an eerie silence until they left the Cao's alley. Everyone took out their mobile phones almost at the same time. "It's a group. I haven't joined it. Please pull me up."
"Cao Xuan's name is
Which one, which one has the avatar?"
"I saw it, the avatar is a starry sky, the WeChat name is three periods, but it seems that it is set to add friends from the group chat, and non-friends in the friend circle cannot see it."
Everyone looked at Chen Wang, who put away his phone with a very clear attitude.
A young man and two little girls who had a good relationship with him came up to beg him. Chen Wang was so beaten by them that he couldn't help it. He promised to check Cao Xuan's circle of friends first. If there was nothing sensitive, he would show it to them, and he couldn't take pictures.
and screenshots.
No matter what Chen Wang said at this time, everyone could only agree and nod, so the latter turned on his phone and found that Cao Xuan's circle of friends was only visible for three days.
Cao Xuan only had one circle of friends in the past three days, which was a photo and a piece of rice paper with wet ink on the desk. It looked like it was calligraphy written by Cao Xuan himself, with only eight words——
The wind and rain have dispersed, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!
There was nothing to hide in this picture, so Chen Wang passed it around to everyone, and was immediately recognized by two of them. "I have seen this picture before, and it seems to have been posted on Weibo."
"That's right, it's even trending."
Everyone was a little disappointed because they didn't get to see some of Boss Cao's exciting news and novelties. However, with the support of the big melon in front, everyone was generally quite satisfied. Even the physical fatigue had dissipated a lot, and they gathered together in twos and threes to whisper.
One of them had a serious thought and quietly came to Chen Wang: "Should I tell everyone to keep it secret? Otherwise, if the news leaks out, it will offend people."
Chen Wang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "If someone dares to take it out, we don't care. Besides, there are no photos, and the form is with me, and it is absolutely impossible to upload it according to the regulations. Otherwise, it will be punished if found out. No one will do this easily."
It’s a risk, there’s no evidence, no one believes it, and”
Looking back at Cao's alley, Chen Wangyi pointed out: "It may not be intentional." On the other side, Empress Donggong, who had just returned to the main courtyard, also looked at Cao Xuan hesitantly.
"You are planning to expose the two children." "Hmm."
Cao Xuan nodded: "The situation during this time is special. Our family cannot have any special privileges. It will be a matter of time before the two children are exposed. It is better to take this opportunity to point it out. Anyway, we cannot hide it for a lifetime."
Seeing that Hu Jing was a little worried, Cao Xuan comforted him: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements. The outside world will only know about these two children. Other information will be kept confidential, including you two, and I am not prepared to disclose it."
Children are one thing, parents are another.
Cao Xuan is ready to be like Chen Kun. He is bound to the child. The mother can guess at will, but will not admit it. Again, having a child out of wedlock is not a big deal. It is the birth of two mothers.
no problem.
But living with your father and two mothers is a challenge to public order and good customs, and may even involve legal aspects. Especially for a well-known figure like Cao Xuan, it will have a great negative impact.
Cao Xuan can even openly admit that he is in two different situations. The biggest excuse is because of the bondage of his children——
She fell in love with the second house of the East and West, broke up and gave birth to a child. She stayed with one of them, but only raised them together with the other, or had a certain relationship, but they were not together.
Logically, there is no problem. As long as the three of them work together to make confessions, there is nothing the outside can do to them.
Moreover, Cao Cao's reputation as a high-ranking official is not enough to destroy his character. At most, there is substantial evidence and a better basis for everyone to despise him.
But we must never openly admit the fact that we are living together. This is the bottom line of the problem!
Boss Cao once asked lawyers and relevant personnel. As long as the bottom line remains unchanged, given his status and resources, his reputation will be damaged at most, and other problems will be minor.
So after realizing that the child might be exposed, Cao Xuan made preparations.
Nishinomiya was not at home, which was what he had arranged in advance. His mother-in-law, Zengmu, and the nanny were living in an apartment not far away. Zeng Li was worried and moved over to accompany her.
As long as the two palaces from the east and west don't come together and get caught, Boss Cao has room for mediation.
Seeing that Hu Jing was still a little worried, Cao Xuan smiled confidently: "Don't worry, this matter can't be settled, I'm living in vain
So many years."
If it were really a murder, arson, or illegal crime, Boss Cao would still have a headache and even be frightened.
But this kind of romantic lace really can't hurt anything. If he wasn't a public figure, he wouldn't care about it at all. He would have too many wives to raise.
Cao Xuan had been laying the groundwork for so many years, with the goal of minimizing negative impact and suppressing public opinion at the critical moment. Hu Jing didn't know the inside story and thought it was an emergency. In fact, Boss Cao had already started to arrange it.
On that day, staff and medical staff who had been to Caojia Hutong broke the news online.
Maybe they have a good impression of Cao Xuan and the reviews are quite positive, but they are just surprised that he has two children. However, due to insufficient evidence, they are basically anonymous and not many people believe him.
The incident really started to escalate two days later, when someone posted secretly taken photos and videos on Weibo and Douyin.
At a testing point in the XC area, Cao Xuan, who was wearing a mask, was queuing up with two children. The video poster claimed that he heard the two children calling Cao Xuan dad.
Then someone anonymously revealed the test registration of Cao Xuan and his two children. Although the key information and even the names of the children were obscured, the last names were retained.
Cao Xuan, Cao*, Cao*
Later, residents or staff members who also participated in the test broke the news and revealed a lot of scattered information.
Cao Xuan and the two children were very polite and could not see their faces due to the masks, but the nurse who did the test said that the girl was very beautiful.
Someone asked about the relationship on the spot, whether they were father and son. Cao Xuan did not answer, but nodded and asked others not to take pictures of the child.
The girl was quite tall, almost 6 meters tall, and the boy was slightly shorter. Some people seemed to hear him calling her sister, but they kept their distance at the time, so they were not sure.
