Chapter 170 I heard you have two intentions
"Don't go to Yingle Tower tonight. Go and deal with them and clear up all the uncertainties in the city."
"What's the reason?"
"Do you need a reason?" Yue Xiangli put down the pen and looked at him indifferently.
"I understand!" Duan Huxia was shocked. What other reason is needed to eliminate evil?
At night, the Yingle Building was filled with dancing and music, neon lights flashing, the singer was humming in front of the microphone, and the dancers were dancing behind her.
Yue Xiangli stood by the window on the third floor, looking at the audience seats downstairs.
After the singing and dancing, several young men and women in suits and dresses were chatting beside the stage while holding wine glasses.
"Zhi Bo, you're not leaving this time when you return to China, right?"
"I'm not leaving. After studying abroad for so many years, I want to come back to reform the oppressive government and eliminate the long-standing malpractices of bureaucracy." Zhang Zhibo clinked glasses with the other party.
"Let me tell you, my mentor is a famous advocate of contractual liberalism in France, and has been practicing it in the Sadri region for three years with great results. Contractual liberalism will definitely save China..."
"I have received a letter of appointment from the Zhencheng government. After taking office, I plan to reform the proposal agency to allow the public to have freedom of speech..."
The men and women surrounding Zhang Zhibo all looked at him with admiration as he talked.
After Zhang Zhibo talked about his ideas after taking office, he smiled and put his arm around the shoulders of the woman in a dress next to him.
"Also, Zijun has been with me there for so many years. We accept new ideas and make progress together. I am planning to marry Zijun and will put the announcement in the newspaper in half a month."
Han Zijun was a little shy, but still looked at him with a smile openly.
Lin Heng looked at him, and after hesitating for a while, he decided to ask: "What about your fiancée? You are still engaged, right?"
"What kind of fiancée is she? It's a blind marriage arranged by the parents and matchmaker. I heard that she is just a foot-bound woman from the old society who never leaves the house and is poisoned by the cannibalistic dregs of Confucianism."
"What do you mean by a family of scholars? They are nothing but a bunch of stinking scholars bound by old ideas!"
"She only knows how to embroider at home, and every day she only talks about the ethics of husband and wife, monarch and ministers, etiquette and so on. In today's society, everyone is equal. The Western ideas of freedom and equality are what we should learn. We should copy the ideas of Western society..."
"I am a person who has accepted new ideas. How could I accept such an engagement!" Zhang Zhibo said with a somewhat agitated look on his face, his words full of disgust and arrogance.
"After I put my marriage in the newspaper, she will see it and realize that she is not worthy of me, so she will find someone else to marry."
"Only Zijun and I are a good match."
Liu Kai agreed, "That's right. I've also seen women who haven't accepted new ideas. They just hang around their husbands every day and don't have any opinions of their own. They're nothing like Zijun, who has her own opinions and new realizations. She studied abroad for four years and is very knowledgeable."
Ning Sangyu stood behind a pillar and found their words somewhat funny. Not only were they promoting those empty theories that could not be implemented, but they were also reducing her to the dust.
"As I recall, we haven't met before. What basis do you have to make a conclusion about me?" Ning Sangyu came out from behind the pillar, wearing a waist-hugging skirt that matched the color of Yubai and Lantiao, which set off her graceful figure.
This outfit was very different from the cheongsams, suits and dresses in the dance hall, and it attracted a lot of people's attention at once.
Ning Sangyu looked at Zhang Zhibo with a calm expression.
"Who are you?" After coming back to his senses, Liu Kai spoke first.
"Ning Sangyu."
Zhang Zhibo's expression changed from surprise to disgust, and he asked angrily: "What are you doing here? I won't marry you. A woman like you from the old society is completely different from me."
"You come here wearing this and aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Look at the people in this new society, who still dresses like this? It's really embarrassing."
"I heard that you have two minds, so I came to break up with you." Ning Sangyu's expression did not change despite his jumping up and down. "Since you don't admit that we are engaged, then what does it have to do with you whether I lose face or not?"
"Did I say I was coming to you to fulfill the engagement?" She threw a copper piece in her hand into his arms, "Don't be so conceited. I came to you to break off the engagement. You took my family's money to study abroad, and you came back to belittle me like this? You ungrateful thing."
"You're just full of nonsense, why should I be worthy of you?"
"Besides, your so-called contractual liberalism comes from the social contract theory, right? If you want to marry someone else, you have to cancel the engagement with me first, right? Isn't the engagement part of the social contract? You can't even master one of them, let alone the others."
"The freedom of speech you advocate is to use your own selfish interests, speak nonsense, and do everything you can to belittle me and praise you, without any regard for my reputation? You said you studied abroad and read a lot of books. Is this what overseas schools teach you?"
"You say that everyone is equal, so why do you look down on me and other women in your words? Are you just talking and not doing anything?"
"You take the equality they preach as the truth, so why do they point their cannons and guns at us?"
They use "freedom and equality" to cover up the true face of their brutal aggression, and the invaded people even take their lies as their guiding principles, which is a bit ridiculous.
"You have been studying for so long, what did you learn? Short-selling theory?"
I didn't learn anything useful, and all I learned was some empty stuff.
"Is my outfit embarrassing? Are the dresses you wear classy? Are the old-fashioned teachings all rubbish?"
“People who forget their traditions and only flatter foreigners will only become vassals of others and will not even know what they are.”
Inside the dance hall, a reporter set up a camera and wrote down the conversation in a notebook.
"My parents don't have good taste. They got engaged to your family and lent you money to study abroad." Ning Sangyu took out a promissory note from her sleeve and held it in front of Zhang Zhibo.
"Yes, you are a staunch supporter of contractual liberalism. Have some contractual spirit and return the money you borrowed from our family seven years ago."
"You borrowed silver at that time, which is now converted into silver or paper money. Pay up."
Ning Sangyu took out the engagement letter again and said, "Give me back the token. If not, I will publish an advertisement in the newspaper to let everyone in the city know what kind of hypocrite you are, despite your glamorous appearance."
She can also put it in the newspaper.
She had wanted to cancel the engagement a long time ago because Zhang Zhibo was overseas and she couldn't find him. A friend wrote to her saying that Zhang Zhibo had returned to China, so she came to Zhencheng to cancel the engagement.
Of course, the search for relatives is also real.
Ning Sangyu knew everything he did overseas.
Zhang Zhibo was speechless and said with a red face, "I will pawn the token after I die."
He didn't expect that his fiancée, whom he had never met, was so sharp-tongued and not the person he imagined, who was full of righteousness and morality. He couldn't respond at all to her refutation of him.
"Then pay ten times the compensation. It's clearly written in the engagement agreement." Ning Sangyu glanced at the camera next to her and said, "This place is pretty good."
Zhang Zhibo gritted his teeth and gave her all the banknotes he had on him. He shamelessly borrowed from other people but it was still not enough, so he wrote another IOU.
Ning Sangyu tore up the engagement letter and put away the IOU. "I listened to everything you said. Do you know why I didn't refute you at the beginning?"
"Because like you said, freedom of speech, you have the right to speak, but my evaluation is that what you said is all bullshit, and I disagree with every word you said."
"Send the money to the address on the IOU, and we'll never see each other again."
Ning Sangyu looked up, glanced at the owner of the gaze upstairs, and turned away.
The shot this morning was still fresh in her memory.
Suddenly, gunshots were heard and Yingle Building became chaotic, with screams and other sounds coming one after another.
Ning Sangyu carefully hid in the corner and pulled the table over to block herself. She felt that her luck was really bad. She encountered two shootings in just one day.
The sound of gunfire continued and Ning Sangyu covered her ears.
Yue Xiangli kept his eyes on her. When his subordinates took action, he went downstairs, approached her, and finally stood beside her.
Fifteen minutes later, the situation was under control.
"Marshal, the remaining enemies have been captured!" Lin Pingyi reported to Yue Xiangli.
"Clean up the mess and bring those back alive."
"Yes!"
The footsteps faded away. After a while, Ning Sangyu couldn't help but stick her head out, but met Yue Xiangli's gaze.
Yue lowered his eyes to Li, "Aren't you coming out?"
There was no one around. There were messy tables and chairs and broken glass on the ground, and the chandelier was flickering.
