Chapter 163 The Flame That Illuminates Jinling
The atmosphere of the new network suddenly became extremely solemn.
Even the silly and cute college students can feel the oppressive atmosphere.
Is the new network finally unable to survive?
Touching the brand new computer, thinking about the cheap Internet fee, and Pan Yinian's resolute back when he left in the morning, everyone couldn't help but feel sad.
Even Su Ying walked to Qin Qin's side and held her cell phone tightly.
She had promised Pan Yinian that she would protect Xinsheng Network, Xiaoyao Restaurant, and the inherited classics, and she would also stop Zhang Xing and the others...
Even if things are impossible, she will try her best.
She had promised her grandfather that she would spend four years without any family care in exchange for four years of freedom and the opportunity to grow up with Pan Yinian.
If it really comes to that, she will fulfill her promise even if she is transferred to Peking University or Tsinghua University, or even goes abroad.
Before they knew it, Qin Qin, Su Ying, Qin Yuyan, and Qin Shuwen were standing in a row.
The network administrator and receptionist of Xinsheng Network, as well as many Internet users, also stood behind them.
Even Zhang Xing suppressed the urge to rush out. He stood at the door of the reception room with his fists clenched, looking at the old lady with snow-white hair.
Many of them don’t understand politics, the overall situation, or the general trend.
But they knew that this was not right and they had to do something.
Even though this old lady with snow-white hair looks powerful.
Even though this old lady with white hair looks untouchable...
"You are all good children..."
The old lady's sudden words made everyone slightly stunned.
But the old lady did not explain, she just looked at Qin Qin and Su Ying and raised her hand.
The imposing man nodded, took out his phone and dialed, "It's me. I know you have a recording. Replay the kid's self-playing and singing just now. You know who I'm talking about..."
After hanging up the phone, the man took out an old radio tied with a red rope and turned up the volume to the maximum.
Just as Qin Qin and Su Ying were looking puzzled, a familiar voice filled with suppressed anger reached their ears.
"I never considered myself a noble or great person, nor did I think I would give up everything for others. But when I saw veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression being bullied, I felt that I needed to do something..."
beep, beep...
As the piano began to play, an indescribable feeling of oppression and a very vivid singing voice entered everyone's ears.
"As a child I often heard people say,
The one with bound feet,
It's my grandma who is trapped in the mountains.
……
Waiting for the car coming from a distance,
The bench at the door has never been moved.
The eyes are still looking forward to it,
She gave birth to one child after another,
All were blown away by the sound of the trumpet,
What's on the other side of the mountain?
It is the heroic spirit of the martyrs,
It is the new China that they fought to defend.
What's on the other side of the river?
It's a protracted war.
She looked into the distance with tears falling.
Peace has come,
They left,
The person she is waiting for will never come back..."
"Twenty-eight years of revolution, over 30 million lives sacrificed. Do you think what's being raised is just a piece of red cloth? Previously, heroes and martyrs sacrificed their lives to bring about today's peaceful and prosperous times. Today, I, Pan Yinian, and all the passionate men and women here declare war on you evil spirits. Come!"
"come!"
"come!"
"come……"
The extremely sad and angry roar was like a sharp knife, piercing everyone's chest and breaking everyone's eardrums.
At first, they couldn't figure out what Pan Yinian was singing.
But now, they understand.
Pan Yinian sang about grandma, about the martyrs, about the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War who sacrificed their lives for their country, but when they were old and gray, they were bullied by foot basins!!!
Snapped!
Just when everyone was excited and wanted to roar to the sky, the old lady with snow-white hair suddenly turned off the radio.
Faced with everyone's confusion and inexplicable anger, the old lady's expression did not change at all.
Yes, but it was a voice that was old yet contained determination and fearlessness.
"Pan Yinian said it well, saying he would hold up the sky for us old bones who are half buried in the ground. But, as long as our old bones are still standing, it will not be your turn to charge into the battle..."
"Xiao Hu, call them and tell them I told them to play this song on repeat."
"As long as I don't nod, the song won't stop..."
After saying that, the old lady suddenly turned pale and left.
No commitment, no statement of identity.
However, in everyone's eyes, this old lady is the same as the grandma in Pan Yinian's singing.
The figure is hunched, but extremely tall.
She sent her children to the battlefield one after another.
Now, it's her turn...
Really, do you want to do this?
Really, does it have to be this way?
Not to mention the already passionate young people, even those who had followed Mediterranean before lowered their heads, silently.
Qin Qin took a deep breath, turned her head to look at the franchisees who were clamoring to withdraw, and waved her hand at Qin Yuyan, "Go, find all their contracts, contact the company's finance department, terminate the contract on the spot, and refund all of them within 24 hours!"
"My new network is difficult, but I won't ruin my reputation for such a small amount of money."
Qin Qin didn't say anything, but everyone could see that once these people quit, no matter what happened in the future, they would never have the opportunity to join a new network again.
Although those franchisees were blushing, they stood still and waited for the contract to be terminated.
Because they can't afford the gamble.
However, the other franchisees gritted their teeth when they looked at Qin Qin and Su Ying, who were about the same age as their own children.
"Whoever wants to return it, can do so. I, Zhang Dahai, am making this clear today: I won't return it. Tomorrow morning, I'll gather the full amount."
"That's right. Mr. Pan has such a big business, and he dares to take it. How can we uncles be outdone by a kid from outside? I will also pay the full amount."
"As for me, I just don't believe that I can really be bullied by those little bastards in our area."
"Boss Qin, I have only one request. After we get through this difficult time, can you let him toast us and call us uncle?"
"That's right, Mr. Qin, just tell me this one condition, okay?"
"right……"
Looking at Zhang Dahai and the others, Qin Qin was slightly startled, then turned and walked into the reception room, took out the wine she had prepared to relieve fatigue, and poured a glass in a row for seven or eight people to toast.
"I would like to toast you all with this glass of wine. Thank you for sharing our joys and sorrows and for sticking with us."
"I've accepted this drink on behalf of Pan Yinian. If he dares to say no, I'll blow up his act."
"Dry!!!"
At this moment, the heroism and unrestrainedness unique to northern women were displayed to the fullest.
"Dry!!!"
Several old men were stunned for a moment, then they picked up a glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Pay in full, arrange for someone, and wait."
"Tell Mr. Pan that he's not the only man in Jinling. The small foot basin isn't just his problem."
"That's right, I was born too late and didn't have time to start my footbath. I have to make up for it this time..."
A group of men finished their drink and turned away without waiting for Qin Qin to respond.
Now, the students who had been keeping a straight face and pretending that these things had nothing to do with them could no longer sit still.
Some people lowered their heads and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Some people checked out and got off the plane.
Someone didn't pay and shouted, "Leave the machine to me. I won't come back or get off the machine until all the money is deducted. Damn it! He's not afraid of a junior student, so why should we be afraid? Follow me if you're a man..."
"Isn't it just a demonstration? I'm going back now to find some people to go with me tomorrow. I just can't believe that we can be bullied by those little idiots on our own territory."
"And me, I'll go inform the students on other campuses."
"That's right. If Nanjing University isn't enough, then we can call on other schools as well. We have over 100,000 university students in Jinling. Are we really going to be scared of a few small-time idiots and traitors like them?"
"And I……"
"I am coming too……"
Qin Qin and Su Ying looked at the backs of these people and walked to the door of Xinsheng Internet Cafe. They put their hands together in front of their chests, with their left hand outside and their right hand inside, palms facing inward, and bowed.
Grand bow.
At this moment, Qin Qin and Su Ying expressed their greatest respect and gratitude.
Their gift, along with Pan Yinian's angry singing of "Grandma", became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
As "Grandma" spread along the radio waves to Jinling and even the entire Jiangnan Province, the incident of "Grandma" and the humiliation of the anti-Japanese war veteran by the foot basin directly broke through the circle and spread all over the country.
Many people boarded trains heading south or north overnight.
Even in the imperial capital, Uncle Pei, who had just helped Pan Yinian and Qin Qin secure a courtyard house, made a few phone calls and boarded a plane south to Jinling, carrying a spotless green canvas bag.
A song called "Grandma".
The song broke many people's hearts and ignited the passion that many people had been waiting for for a long time.
In a word, what is on the other side of the mountain? It is the heroic spirits of the martyrs and the new China they fought to defend.
What is on the other side of the river? It is the raging war. She looked into the distance and tears fell.
In one sentence, peace came, they left, and the person she was waiting for would never come back...
The singing kept many people awake all night, so they put on their clothes and rushed out of the house at night.
A grand bow also gave many Jinling gentlemen the courage to fight to the death.
Grandma, echoing in the night sky of Jinling.
The flames that shot up into the sky also illuminated most of Jinling, and also awakened this once devastated city...
