Chapter 101 Playing the cards
"When Director Qin met with Yu Zhen, the undercover agent, this time, he seemed to have aged more than ten years, and his spirits seemed inexplicably low."
It is obvious that the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture has been subtly distorted.
This absurd feeling of wanting to accurately locate the enemy, yet being unable to find a way to attack, is too torturous.
That's why they might casually ask if you can foresee the future in your dreams when you meet someone.
It was clear that she wanted to confirm something with Yu Zhen.
"If you could really foresee the future in your dreams, how would you ultimately deal with all these dirty deeds and dirty tricks?" Xiao Yu, what exactly are these people trying to achieve by engaging in these underhanded schemes?!
"That depends on the specific timeline."
"What do you mean?"
"Everything has a source; a three-day-old ice formation doesn't happen overnight. Given the current situation, we need to know when the ice most likely formed, right? Based on the theory that those who benefit have the strongest motives, tell me, who will ultimately benefit from disrupting the inheritance of our traditional Chinese culture? Haha, it can't be ordinary people who will be the beneficiaries!"
"That's the system—ugh, don't talk nonsense, we—"
"Okay, okay, I've already said it, we need to find the very beginning, like the saying 'Every man for himself.' When exactly did this phrase begin to change and become a vicious proverb that teaches people to be evil? Can you find out? Probably not, right? But if you look closely, it's not hard to deduce when it truly originated. Even if I thought about it with my toes, I could figure it out: at least during your childhood, from the time you can remember, 'Every man for himself' had already become a negative and vicious saying, right?!"
Director Qin sighed and nodded. "On the surface, it has indeed become a long-standing, unresolved mess, but now that you've put it that way, I most likely know what you're trying to say."
Yu Zhen smiled and said, "So, reversing this kind of situation is not something that can be done overnight, and you can't rush it. After all, given the current situation, even if you wanted to find a specific person responsible among those involved, it would be impossible. Not only that, if things go wrong, others might fail to handle it, and you yourself would get into trouble, just like your current mental state, which is really upsetting, isn't it!"
"Then what can we do? Are we just going to stand by and do nothing, letting things continue like this?"
"Ha, you can rest assured about that. The genes of traditional Chinese culture are etched into the blood of our people. Even after more than two hundred years of demonic upheaval, they haven't completely destroyed our foundation. Let me say something disrespectful: in the future, if any so-called master of traditional Chinese culture in any circle suddenly becomes an overnight sensation, a star-level expert and scholar worshipped by everyone, lecturing on classics and openly waving the banner of promoting the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture—hey, if possible, just go ahead and arrest them from the list. I guarantee you'll catch them every time—"
Director Qin pondered to himself, "Is this kid trying to give me a bunch of riddles again?"
"You mean—?"
"Okay, let's skip this topic. I didn't say anything."
Yu Zhen felt a sudden chill run down his spine. He had clearly intended to ramble on about "Lecture Room of One Hundred Schools," but just now, inexplicably, a terrifying feeling of impending doom, as if he had carelessly revealed a secret, suddenly struck him.
Seriously, it was like being suddenly targeted by some prehistoric beast.
Seeing how sensitive he was, Director Qin decided not to delve any deeper into the matter.
The topic is already out in the open. No matter how you look at it, it's nothing more than a legacy of history. Regardless of his own status and position, he would be met with a cold shoulder the moment he was touched upon it.
Moreover, Yu Zhen is currently in a situation where he is the target of public criticism.
"Director Qin, could you tell me specifically how I should handle the literary lecture this weekend?"
Have you decided on the topic you want to discuss in your presentation?
"Obviously, as you yourself said, this is a trap. No matter what theme I prepare in advance, I'm afraid the final outcome will still be led by the nose."
These past two days, my undercover identity has been incredibly useful, haha!
1~
Yu Zhen chuckled to himself. Looking back now, he realized that his promise to Director Qin to go undercover at Tsinghua University was truly an unintended consequence. They had actually pulled off a brilliant and deadly move!
Director Qin clearly shared the same thought, and sneered, "Hey, I really want to see what kind of interesting expressions those people will have when they find out your identity as a Tsinghua/Peking University undercover agent, Qin Feng."
Yu Zhen laughed along, but then quickly advised, "Director Qin, let's stop hiding behind the scenes and enjoying ourselves. You should think this through and report it as soon as possible! Last time I stirred up that Tsinghua-Peking University controversy, which already embarrassed everyone involved. This time—"
"How about this time? Hmph! With my sword in hand, who dares to act recklessly!"
"Come on! If you cause another uproar this time, those people will certainly not have a good ending, but do you think you, Comrade Qin, will get any rewards or praise? Do you think the higher-ups will sing your praises for your skill in ruining the reputation of the country's top university?!"
"You brat, since you know everything perfectly well, why don't you hurry up and tell me exactly how you plan to give this literary report—"
"Let's play our cards open!"
"What, playing your cards right? You're just letting them go so easily?"
"Of course not. We should play our cards right, set our conditions, and seize the initiative. We could even make it even more high-profile, treating it as a rehearsal for my upcoming academic visit to the US as the great science fiction writer. Let everything be exposed to the light of day, exposed to the focus of the entire nation's attention, instead of the current situation where they've set up a trap, waiting for me to offer up my head as a sacrifice—"
Director Qin pondered for a moment, undoubtedly calculating quickly in his mind, "Yu Zhen, you're truly no ordinary person! I'll listen to you, let everything be exposed to the light of day, exposed to the spotlight of the entire nation!"
The so-called "playing your cards open" naturally means revealing Qin Feng, the Tsinghua-Peking University mole, directly to the school.
It would be a waste to fail to seize this opportunity to deliver a decisive blow.
But there's no way around it. The prestigious reputation of a top university can't be torn down at will; no one can afford the consequences.
As for setting terms, that's something they can't discuss privately.
However, things have already come to this point.
The camp remains, but the soldiers come and go; I'm sure some of them will have to move on to other places to lay eggs.
The matter was urgent, and a special meeting was held the following day.
