The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 581 The Asian Games is coming!!!
"The Asian Games were a success, and everyone is looking forward to the Olympics."

Six years ago, at the third congress of the Olympic Council of Asia held in Seoul, Xiaguo won the right to host the 43th Asian Games with a vote of 22 to , surpassing Hiroshima, Japan, with a documentary "Scenery of Yanjing".

The whole country was excited when the news came!

“Meet guests from all over the world and make friends from all continents.” What echoes in the hearts of the Xia people is not only patriotic feelings, but also the courage and sincerity to embrace the world.

After that, all preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

However, some events that happened before the opening made the significance of this event go beyond the scope of sports.

With the golden autumn of October approaching, the long-awaited Asian Games is about to arrive.

This was the first comprehensive international sports competition held by the Xia people on their own land.

This is also the first time in the 40 years since the Asian Games were founded that the Xia people hosted it, which can be said to be of great significance.

A total of 37 people from sports delegations from 6578 countries and regions that are members of the Olympic Council of Asia participated in this Asian Games, with the number of delegations and athletes exceeding that of the previous 10 sessions.

For this grand event, the citizens of Yanjing and even the people of the whole country worked together to do all the security work, making this sporting event a carnival for the whole of Asia.

Due to the shortage of funds for hosting the Asian Games, there is a funding gap of 6 million yuan.

Calling on the public to raise funds has become the only way. For this purpose, the Asian Games Organizing Committee has set up a special "Fundraising Department". The principle of fundraising is complete voluntariness, doing what one can, and the more the better.

In response to the call, people across the country, including overseas Chinese, took action.

Everyone contributed money, effort, materials and ideas, and supported and promoted the Asian Games through various means such as donations of money and materials, poetry and songs, charity performances, charity sales and medical consultations, voluntary labor, article writing, knowledge competitions, street consultations, film and television publicity, and product publicity.

In order to prepare for the huge amount of funds needed for the Asian Games, the country’s financial resources are limited, and social fundraising becomes an inevitable choice.

Donations, sale of broadcasting rights, advertising, pre-sale of houses in the athletes' village, sports lottery, publishing of stamps, hot-selling mascots, poetry and song offerings, charity performances, charity sales and free medical consultations...all kinds of fields have joined the ranks of supporting the Asian Games.

Not only did government agencies, schools, enterprises and institutions organize collective fundraising, but many ordinary people also participated with their own meager efforts.

An old lady donated her pension that she had saved for 10 years to the Asian Games, which was only 187 yuan. Many children donated bags of banknotes and coins.

Li Danlin, a disciple of the famous Peking Opera actor Cheng Yanqiu, has not appeared on stage since his teacher's death.

But for the Asian Games, he came out of retirement and performed two shows of "The Jade Hairpin", and donated all the ticket proceeds to the Asian Games.

Vegetable farmers in the suburbs of Yanjing worked from dawn to dusk to try to grow more than 50 kinds of foreign vegetables specifically for the Asian Games.

The young people of Urumqi beat drums and gongs and drove floats to sell Asian Games lottery tickets for charity.

The ethnic minority compatriots brought Hada that was several dozen feet long...

Before the Asian Games began, schools at all levels were popularizing how to deal with foreigners.

Even primary school teachers told students seriously that the Asian Games were about to start and many foreigners would come and might chat with them, so they must be careful with their words.

The primary school students were very nervous when they received this task. They also took a crash course in spoken English and carefully wrote down “好肚油肚” in their notebooks.

It is worth mentioning that during the preparation of the Asian Games, many well-known domestic companies extended a helping hand and provided generous sponsorship support.

Among them, the major companies under the Liu Group are particularly prominent. Their strong support has laid a solid foundation for the smooth holding of the event.

The Asian Games is not only a sporting event, but also an international stage.

The major companies under the Liu Group saw this point and cleverly used this opportunity to showcase their strength and style to the world, further promoting the internationalization of the brand.

In recent years, "Li Ning Sportswear Group" has emerged as a dark horse and quickly become a leading domestic sports brand.

Since the Liu Group took control of the company, the brand has actively sponsored major domestic and international sporting events, taking this opportunity to successfully open the door to the international market and allow the world to witness the rise of Chinese brands.

This Asian Games is no exception. The Li Ning Sportswear Group once again took on the important task of providing a full set of clothing sponsorship for the event.

This not only demonstrates the brand's strength and influence, but also contributes to the development of Xiaguo's sports industry.

This is different from Liu Zhiye's previous life. He remembered that in his previous life, Jianlibao sponsored the Yanjing Asian Games with a sponsorship fee of 1600 million yuan, becoming the first domestic company to sponsor the Asian Games with the largest sponsorship amount at that time.

Jianlibao became an instant hit as a result.

The "Li Ning" company, which was established not long ago, only sponsored the special clothing for the torch relay and the award-winning clothing for the country's delegation.

In this life, due to the unexpected rise of the Liu Group, the first sponsor became the "Li Ning Group", the second largest sponsor was the "Liu Jiazhuang Beverage Group", the third largest sponsor was the "Yanjing Electric Appliance Group"... and the tenth place was "Jianlibao".

What’s interesting is the eleventh place “Wahaha”, which is a food group from Hangzhou, and it is also a group under “Liu’s Holdings”.

In addition to the private sector, the government also has fundraising channels.

On August 8 last year, the first batch of Asian Games Fund lottery tickets were officially issued. Spending one yuan to buy a lottery ticket with the Asian Games mascot on it not only contributes to the Asian Games, but also gives you the chance to win prize money.

This was the first real "lottery" in the history of the Xia Kingdom, and was also the predecessor of the numerous lotteries on the market in later generations.

Later, there was a popular children's movie "My September" which contained a story about the Asian Games lottery tickets:
In order to save money to buy lottery tickets to support the Yanjing Asian Games, An Jianjun, a fourth-grade student at Dayushu Primary School, went hungry without telling his parents and saved money for breakfast. Later, he actually won 50 yuan and donated the prize money to the Asian Games Organizing Committee.

Of course, hosting such a large-scale sports event requires more than just the enthusiasm of the people.

Whether there are enough sports venues, whether the design level is up to standard, whether the project can be completed on schedule, how to ensure the quality, etc. are all issues that need to be urgently addressed.

要新建16个、改建17个场馆，修缮46个体育场馆，新建50万平方米的亚运村和100多万平方米的居民住宅区。

All engineering projects related to the Asian Games are considered national priorities.

Zhang, the general commander of the Asian Games project, once vowed: "If the Asian Games project is not completed, I will jump from the highest point in Yanjing, the Jingguang Center."

Finally, after more than 6 builders worked day and night, all competition venues and auxiliary buildings were completed one year and half a year ahead of schedule respectively.

Whenever there is a large-scale event, security work becomes a top priority.

The garrison area, armed police force and public security department have all taken action to ensure the safe holding of this grand event.

The Criminal Investigation Division where Liu Yong works has also been assigned the security task of the Workers' Experience Stadium. The opening ceremony, closing ceremony, football, track and field competitions and other events are all held here, so the importance of security work here is self-evident.

The daily task of the Criminal Investigation Department's "Serious Crime Unit" is to solve cases. Due to the temporary addition of the task of protecting the Asian Games, overtime training and duty have become commonplace.

In order to demonstrate the comprehensive quality of the Xiaguo police and maintain the good image of a mighty and civilized force, the police force carefully "selected" police officers to participate in the Asian Games security mission in terms of military skills, image, height, culture, and Mandarin.

As a "veteran", Liu Yong was fortunate to be selected due to his "rich combat experience".

During this period, Liu Yong and his selected comrades underwent arduous intensive training during the day and learned foreign-related etiquette and some simple foreign language conversations at night.

The physical hardship is easy for them to handle, the key is to learn those foreign language conversations;
For ordinary police officers who have no foreign language foundation, there is really no other trick except rote memorization.

In fact, some security work had already begun during the construction of the Workers' Stadium.

The security discipline requirements are extremely strict. No one is allowed to enter unless they are construction site workers or conference staff.

It was midsummer, and Liu Yong and other security personnel were witnessing the rapid changes of the sports stadium together with the construction workers under the scorching sun.

…………

The world-renowned Asian Games is about to be held. It will be an unprecedented sports event.

However, who would have thought that in such a grand event full of unity and friendship, some people would be dissatisfied...

Southeast T City.

There are rows of high-rise buildings, highways and overpasses like a spider web, and the roads are crowded with cars and pedestrians, showing people the unique style of a metropolis.

50 kilometers southwest of the city is a mountainous area.

Here, there are continuous mountains, undulating peaks, verdant pines and cypresses, singing birds and fragrant flowers, and the scenery of lakes and mountains blending into one, creating a pleasant scene.

Between the beautiful mountains and rivers, there is a winding asphalt road leading to a secluded valley where few people go.

At the end of the road is a strangely shaped building complex, surrounded by high walls and topped with electric fences. It is extremely inconsistent with the beautiful environment and gives people an eerie feeling.

This mysterious complex of buildings is a training camp that specializes in training agents for special missions.

In a corner of the compound, there is a building of a very special style. The doors and windows of the house are all inlaid with brown bulletproof glass, filling the room with soft light.

In a small conference room, a man and a woman in military uniforms sat side by side.

The two of them sat upright, as if waiting to be summoned by someone.

These two people are not ordinary people.

The man's name is Li Donglin, he is 38 years old and has the rank of major.

He had sneaked into the "Rabbit's house" many times to gather intelligence, not only avoiding the sight of the relevant departments of the "Rabbit", but also reaping "great rewards".

Therefore, he was highly appreciated by his superior. At this moment, he closed his eyes slightly, looking out the window, looking a little worried.

The woman's name is Chen Fengjiao, she is about 30 years old and also holds the rank of major.

This is a typical oriental beauty, with willow-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, long shawl hair and light makeup, which add a bit of charm to her.

The crisp officer uniform is tailored very appropriately, perfectly showing off the graceful figure of women.

Chen Fengjiao also went to the "Rabbit House" many times to collect intelligence, and used sexual means to recruit many people to join them.

Because of her outstanding "battle performance", she joined the ranks of school officers ahead of schedule.

At this moment, she cast aside her usual coquettish look, her face was as cold as ice, and she said nothing.

Their superiors had already briefed them before they were sent to this camp for training.

They formulated an action plan code-named "Blood Light", and the two of them were the executors of this plan.

The "Blood Light" plan is far from being comparable to ordinary intelligence gathering and conspiracy activities, nor is it an ordinary sabotage operation...

In the past, Li Donglin and Chen Fengjiao would be extremely grateful for being valued by their superiors.

This time, both of them backed out in their hearts at the same time.

They know very well that in the current environment, if they try to cause trouble again, they will be condemned by the world.

Moreover, it is not easy to cause damage to the "rabbit's house" these days.

However, they also understood that once they joined this organization, they would not be allowed to act on their emotions.

In particular, there are strict internal punishment regulations, and any behavior of disobeying orders will be severely punished.

The tragic scenes of their colleagues being imprisoned or killed for disobeying orders kept appearing in their minds.

"Director!" Chen Fengjiao was the first to see her boss coming in from the door, and immediately stood up to greet him.

Li Donglin also quickly stood at attention.

Shen Guangxun was wearing a neat military uniform and shiny leather shoes. His sparse hair was combed neatly and shiny. He walked in with a serious face under the watchful eyes of two capable subordinates.

Behind him followed Yan Mang, the pot-bellied director of the Political Training Department.

"Sit down, sit down." Shen Guangxun put away his serious expression and said to his two subordinates.

"Thank you, Director!" Li Donglin and Chen Fengjiao sat on the sofa as ordered, still keeping their bodies straight.

"Donglin, Fengjiao," Shen Guangxun sat down on the sofa and said in a friendly tone, "Is everything ready?"

Li Donglin was the front-line protagonist of the "Blood Light" plan. He glanced at Chen Fengjiao and saw that she didn't react, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Report to the Director, we are ready and are just waiting for the order to set off immediately. Please give us your instructions!"

“I have already told you before that this operation is very important to us.

Now the influence of the 'rabbits' in the 'global village' is growing stronger and stronger. If this Games is successfully held, their influence will be even greater, which will be more disadvantageous to us.

You two must work harder and live up to expectations.

To wish you a successful start, the director will personally give you two a farewell party tonight." Shen Guangxun glanced at Chen Fengjiao and said, "Why isn't Fengjiao talking?"

Chen Fengjiao smiled at Shen Guangxun: "Don't worry, Director, we will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Haha! Great! Great!" Shen Guangxun laughed and said, "What a heroine! After you return triumphantly, I will ask the director to celebrate for you!"

Yan Mang, who was nicknamed "King of Hell" and had a distant relationship with Shen Guangxun, saw Shen Guangxun chatting and laughing with Li Donglin and Chen Fengjiao, and felt that he was being ignored, so he deliberately coughed twice.

Shen Guangxun knew that he was trying to show off his authority, so he said in an arrogant tone: "Director Yan, please teach these two warriors a lesson."

Yan Mang heard the words and cursed in his heart, then said with a smile on his face: "Major Li and Major Chen are the pillars of our bureau carefully cultivated by Director Shen. They are outstanding elites of our bureau and will definitely not let him down.

Here, I would like to wish the two "rabbits" a successful trip and further achievements.

Also, you must hold on to that group of people and make good use of them.

We want to change it to our advantage.”

Yan Mang was worthy of being the dean of discipline, and he spoke in a very organized way, but Shen Guangxun was fed up with his endless chatter.

Li Donglin and Chen Fengjiao have always disliked the fat and fat-headed dean of discipline in front of them, but because of his nickname "King of Hell", they dare not show it on the surface, but they are cursing in their hearts.

In the puppet military intelligence bureau, Yan Mang was a big favorite of the director, and most people didn't dare to offend him.

If anyone dares to offend him, he will report it to the director and the person will be in trouble.

Therefore, most people would stay away from him as if they saw the devil.

Yan Mang was so excited that spit was coming out of his mouth.

Shen Guangxun couldn't help but interrupt him: "Director Yan is right, you must obey it seriously."

Then, he changed the subject: "I think it's almost time. You should go back and prepare. You will attend the dinner the director is hosting for you tonight. You will leave in two days."

That night, all the important officials in the bureau attended the farewell banquet held by the pseudo-director.

They kept drinking, but Li Donglin and Chen Fengjiao were full of thoughts, and the delicious food tasted like wax in their mouths.

The two of them were predicting in their minds the good or bad luck of the "rabbit" trip.

……

Not long after, at a resort in Bao County.

In a luxurious suite, a man and a woman were plotting.

The man is Li Donglin and the woman is Chen Fengjiao.

At this time, the two of them transformed themselves. Li Donglin became the general manager of Huasheng Co., Ltd., and Chen Fengjiao became his personal secretary.

They have been in Bao County for two days. According to the planned schedule, they will meet someone at the amusement park this afternoon.

At this moment, the two people were discussing the connection.

"Do you think they will cooperate with us?" Chen Fengjiao asked worriedly.

"This group of people has suffered a heavy blow and they are in urgent need of support now. I think they will cooperate with us," Li Donglin comforted.

"I hope our trip to 'Rabbit' will be safe and sound."

"Feng Jiao, you can't think so much now.

Now that you are here, try to do your job well.

There is no way out for both of us now." Li Donglin handed a glass of wine to Chen Fengjiao, "Come on, let's toast to our success!"

At around 4 p.m., Li Donglin and Chen Fengjiao came to the amusement park disguised as tourists.

They rented a small boat and rowed towards the center of the lake.

As the sun sets, the lake is calm and the water is clear.

Li Donglin and Chen Fengjiao parked the boat in the middle of the lake, and then snuggled together like a couple in love.

At about 5 o'clock, a motorboat came speeding along the water, circled the boat several times, then turned off the engine and stopped the boat.

A young man and woman in student attire were sitting on the motorboat.

The man is Wu Jun, the "leader of a criminal organization" in City N, and the woman is his secretary Zhou Lan.

Based on his impression of the photo, Li Donglin recognized the person as Wu Jun, the person he was going to contact.

But to be cautious, he did not take the initiative to say hello, but waited for the other party to say the code word.

Wu Jun is no more than 30 years old, with a thin face and alert eyes behind his glasses.

He looked Li Donglin and Chen Fengjiao up and down, then asked in code:

"Where are you from, my friend?"

"On the other side of the ocean, in a foreign country." Li Donglin replied.
