243: Chapter 243 "Broken Bridge and Lingering Snow"

After a night of struggle.

Chen Shaoping, waking up in the morning, gently massaged his back with his right hand.

Without waking the still-sleeping Zhang Ying, he quickly washed up and hurried out the door.

By the time he arrived at the Guangzhou Branch of the Academy of Sciences, it was almost ten o'clock.

Chen Shaoping parked his car and rushed inside.

Technician Qian saw him panting but remained unmoved.

"We agreed on nine-thirty. Why didn't you just come at ten-thirty?"

"You're wasting my time."

Chen Shaoping gave an awkward smile and quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry, there was a bit of a traffic jam."

"You knew there was a traffic jam, why didn't you leave earlier?" Technician Qian retorted.

He then took out several test reports, opened one, pointed at the data inside, and explained.

"These ingredients, such as heavy metals like lead and mercury, severely exceed standards and are harmful to human skin."

"This stuff has absolutely no skincare effect."

"You must not produce and sell this stuff; it harms both yourself and others."

Technician Qian warned.

"Technician Qian, I won't sell this. I'm a victim of this product."

"I came to you for testing because I want to use this test report to seek justice."

"If you are needed to verify the data in the report and the authenticity of the tests,"

"I wonder if you'll have time."

Chen Shaoping asked tentatively, though he wasn't sure if his presence would be necessary.

"No problem, I'm responsible for the test report."

"However, you'll need to tell me in advance so I can arrange my time."

Technician Qian agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you!"

After Chen Shaoping left the Academy of Sciences, he picked up Xu Yali from the hospital and headed straight to the Municipal Bureau.

Xu Yali's face had healed somewhat; it was no longer wrapped in gauze, but she still wore a hat to minimize sun exposure.

Beside her seat was a thick stack of documents, all the evidence she had prepared these past few days.

"General Manager Chen, with this kind of evidence, can we really bring Zhang Tingting and her husband to justice?"

Chen Shaoping said while driving, "Yes, at least we can shut down her company first, so she can't deceive others."

At the Municipal Bureau, Captain Tian, who had received Chen Shaoping's call, had already been waiting.

After the drug case and the Fire Fox case were closed, he finally had a few days of relaxation.

Chen Shaoping arrived at the Municipal Bureau, explained his purpose, and a female officer led them to Captain Tian's office.

"Captain Tian, the person you were waiting for is here."

"Da Ping!" Captain Tian chuckled, took a few quick steps, and hugged Chen Shaoping tightly.

"Thank you! My friend, I owe you my life. From now on, just say the word if you need anything."

"Four Jun, you old bastard, let go of me." Chen Shaoping, uncomfortable from the squeeze, immediately cursed.

Captain Tian lifted him, spun him around once, and then set him down.

"What brings you to me today?"

He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to Chen Shaoping.

Chen Shaoping took it, tapped it lightly on his palm, walked directly to the sofa, sat down, and then lit the cigarette.

Xu Yali intended to pick up the documents Chen Shaoping had placed on the floor, but Captain Tian got to them first.

"I'll get them. The person on the sofa put them here specifically for me."

Captain Tian said, glancing at Chen Shaoping, who was leisurely exhaling smoke.

He walked over with the documents and Xu Yali.

The three sat down.

Chen Shaoping took the documents, pulled them all out, and laid them before Captain Tian.

"Four Jun, I'm here today to give you these documents."

"I'll talk, and you can look, to see if we can file a case for investigation."

"Okay." Captain Tian was also attracted by the thick stack of documents and immediately became interested.

Chen Shaoping quickly finished explaining what he knew.

Then, Xu Yali and Captain Tian communicated. During this time, she had truly put a lot of effort into collecting evidence.

Meanwhile.

In Hang City, the vast majority of LED screens were playing a promotional video filmed by the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism.

On Douyin, the official account of the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism also simultaneously released the video.

The promotional song was "Broken Bridge and Remaining Snow," sung by Wang Bo.

"A broken-winged withered butterfly that cannot find flowers, will never see wilting. The small bridges and eaves under theJiangnan night, cannot comprehend the wilderness ofNorthern Frontier."

"Has snow fallen on Broken Bridge? I gaze at the lake, the cold moon in the water like snow, melting with a light touch of my fingertips."

"Has snow fallen on Broken Bridge? I think of your face again. If we are destined not to meet again, the willow curtains of Baidi weep many times."

When singing this song.

Wang Bo did not display excellent singing technique or explosive power, but rather allowed people to feel a gentle, slightly hoarse, and nasal quality.

This vocal timbre naturally carried a 'scholar-like' artistic temperament and a faint sense of melancholy, highly consistent with the song's Chinese-style artistic conception.

However, Wang Bo's recording of this song was not smooth, making him feel very awkward.

On the surface, this song is a scenic piece depicting the snowy scenery of the Broken Bridge in West Lake, Hang City, but its core is a love song of heartbreak expressed through scenery.

Through imagery such as 'Broken Bridge,' 'Remaining Snow,' 'willow catkins,' and 'plum red,' it paints a wistful picture of a loved one gone, but the scenery remains the same.

It is perfectly suited for promoting Hang City's tourism.

When Wang Lin received this song, he had high hopes for it.

So, after the promotional video was released, he kept staring at his computer and phone.

He wanted to know immediately if the data would skyrocket.

However, things did not go as he wished; the data did increase.

The number of followers for the Douyin account of the Hang City Culture and Tourism Bureau increased significantly.

But it was far from what Wang Lin had expected.

It didn't even generate as much buzz as the poem Chen Shaoping wrote.

However, the song "Broken Bridge and Remaining Snow" quickly became popular on Douyin due to Wang Bo and the high quality of the song itself.

Wang Lin, unwilling to give up, repeatedly checked the comments from netizens under the Hang City Culture and Tourism Bureau's Douyin account, trying to figure out what went wrong.

"Why are you filming such a formal promotional video? You need to be wild, you know? If you don't know how, go look at the southwest f4's Culture and Tourism promotional video."

"Besides the song being good, the scenery isn't particularly attractive."

"For mountains and rivers, you still have to look at Guizhou Province and Yunnan Province. You should promote your unique features, such as culture."

Wang Lin's face turned red, not because he was angry at being scolded, but because he suddenly felt that the netizens made sense.

So he clicked on the promotional video posted by the southwest f4 Culture and Tourism Bureau.

After Wang Lin clicked on it and watched it once, he exclaimed, "Good Heavens!"

Can they even co-release videos?

The video was full of beautiful scenery from the southwest region: towering mountains, three thousand terraced fields.

Diverse ethnic customs, snowy landscapes.

They had everything one could ask for.

As for the song, it might not even count as a song; it was truly a bit wild.

"...I dare not take you back to the southwest f4, afraid you won't make it to the mountain gully. I dare not be friends with you, afraid you can't drink prickly pear wine, afraid you won't eat cornmeal, and you're not used to Houttuynia cordata..."

After listening, Wang Lin fell into deep confusion. He lit a cigarette and listened to the video repeatedly several times.

He slapped his thigh, "Oh! Heavens, that's really captivating."

He found Chen Shaoping's phone number and dialed it.

...

After Captain Tian said a case could be filed.

Chen Shaoping left all the evidence with Captain Tian.

However, he still took photos of the test report.

After returning to the office, he used Shao Ping's account to post on Qingbo.

Besides uploading the test report and Xu Yali's treatment records, he also included the names of Xu Yali and dozens of other victims.

Immediately after he finished posting, his phone rang.

"Brother Lin, what's up?"

"Young Master Ping, I still want to ask you to write a song, something a bit wild."

Wang Lin's urgent voice came through the phone.

After listening to his explanation, Chen Shaoping smiled faintly.

"Brother Lin, I have another method to promote Hang City. I wonder if you're interested..."
