China Entertainment 1997

During the Spring Festival of 2020, the situation was changing and the whole country was quiet.

Cao Xuan simply made some preparations before. Except for the eldest son returning to Korea, the whole family, including his father-in-law and mother-in-law, were all arranged to live in the capital. Although they did not live together, they were very close.

The situation was special and it was difficult for Cao Xuan to stock up on too many things.

Caojia Hutong has always had an evacuation reserve. This was done when Cao Xuan was renovated. There is a small shelter and material storage point, which is strong enough to withstand the crisis of doomsday, but can still survive ordinary natural and man-made disasters.

Later, because of what happened in 2012, the East and West Palaces also became interested in Cao Xuan's arrangements.

Although times have changed and people pay less attention to this, medicines and food are still regularly replaced and stored, which is enough for the whole family and staff for half a year.

For this reason, Cao Xuan did not go to war. He just used the excuse of buying new year's goods during the Spring Festival to prepare more. Later, the situation in Hubei Province became bad, so he stocked up some more.

It's reasonable and consistent with Cao Xuan's cautious character. Even the East and West Palaces don't have the slightest doubt.

Before the Spring Festival, relevant units in Beijing announced the extension of the annual and winter vacations, and then launched large-scale statistics and screening for residents who were quarantined at home.

Caojia Hutong belongs to Shichahai Subdistrict, and the medical staff responsible for screening is the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University.

Street leader Chen Wang led a team and knocked on the main door of Caojia Hutong: "Hello, the whole family is here to register for testing."

The new officer Liu Ming volunteered: "Director, you are busy here, would you like me, Xiao Liu, Dr. Sun and I to go to the front and work together quickly?"

"No."

Chen Wang's eyes were sad: "This is all from the same family, we can just wait here."

"One...family?"

Liu Ming was stunned. He looked at the alley passage that was almost endless, and his brain was somewhat deprived of oxygen.

Chen Wang understood his mood very well and patted his shoulder: "This family is in a special situation. Not many people in our street know about it. You will understand in a while."

Under normal circumstances, Chen Wang might have told him to keep it confidential, but looking at the staff and medical staff nearby, he swallowed his words.

He was even ready to answer the phone and leave after a while, or the other party produced proof and said that it had been done or that he had gone to a certain designated place to do it.

The water in Beijing is deep, and Chen Wang, as a veteran at the grassroots level, has already been prepared.

But he didn't expect that after a while, the door opened, and more than 20 people filed out wearing masks. Two children who looked young were even wearing protective clothing.

The leader, a tall man wearing a long woolen windbreaker, wearing a hat and a mask, came over to shake hands with Chen Wangxu.

"I am the head of the household, and everyone in our family is here, thank you for your hard work, comrades."

"Okay, let's line up together, register first, and then get tested."

Chen Wang responded quickly and made arrangements immediately. Liu Ming came forward with the registration form and the leading man explained.

"My parents are not very literate, can I fill in the form?"

"No problem, we can help."

Even in the capital, there are a small number of old and middle-aged people who are illiterate. This staff member has experienced it all, and Liu Ming picked up the pen skillfully.

"Name?"

"Cao Shuangguo, the odd and even double, the country's country."

"date of birth?"

"July 30, 1955."

"..."

"Children's status, names, do they live together?"

"We live together. I am his only son, my name is Cao Xuan."

"Which xuan...Cao Xuan!?"

Liu Ming shook his right hand and almost scratched the form. The man looked familiar to him just now, but the man was properly protected and could not be seen clearly due to regulations.

Immediately after the leader arranged the work, Liu Ming was busy, coupled with the days of hard work, physical and mental exhaustion, and his mental state was very poor. He wanted to finish the work quickly and go back to rest.

Normally, he would have started asking about the information that the leader just sold, but now he doesn't have much mind to think about it, so he has no energy to care about anything else.

To be honest, he had seen thousands if not tens of thousands of faces in the past few days. They were wearing masks, and their facial features were all blurred to him. He had to drag his wife over to recognize them for two minutes.

Liu Ming's voice was a little loud, which alerted other staff and medical staff. Everyone looked at Cao Xuan.

Like Liu Ming, everyone is busy and tired during this period, and many tasks are mechanical. Except for one or two sharp-eyed people, most people really don't recognize it.

But in this way, this alley can be explained clearly. Boss Cao does have this strength.

Even though Cao Xuan came out, he didn't think he could hide it, so he clasped his hands and bowed slightly.

"I'm Cao Xuan. Thank you for your hard work. Our family has prepared some food. Let's express our feelings. I'll contact a comrade later and deliver it to your residence."

At the critical moment, Chen Wang was able to hold on and immediately came out to take charge of the situation: "Okay, okay, everyone, thank you, Teacher Cao, for your support and continue working."

Liu Ming finished registering Cao Xuan and his parents in a daze. The people behind him were basically nannies and security personnel. In the middle was a woman with two children. She filled out the form and handed it back to him. Liu Ming didn't He glanced at it animatedly.

The woman was Hu Jing. He was not surprised. He had recognized her when filling out the form just now.

After all, she was also one of the four young beauties back then. The popularity of the Empress of the East Palace was no joke, and Liu Ming would definitely have to pay more attention to her children.

What really excited him were the names of the other two tables——

Cao Li, Cao Yang

The surname is Cao, and the relative column is filled with father/Cao Xuan.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Ming's hands were trembling a little at this time. The shocking giant melon made him touch it. If he didn't take his face into consideration, he couldn't help but scream.

Liu Mingqiang suppressed his excitement, and other staff and medical staff were not much better.

A pair of eyes were divided into two groups, one group followed Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, and the other group flew between the two children.

They did not see the form and were not sure about the true identities of the two children, but it was inevitable that they would have some guesses. After all, it was hard not to think of Cao Xuan, Hu Jing, and their family members.

Soon, they knew the truth they wanted to know.

Because there was a queue to call for the next test, when the names Cao Li and Cao Yang appeared at the test point, the temperature of the scene soared, and the burning fire of gossip emerged in everyone's eyes.

Even Chen Wang was no exception. Although he acted the most calm and composed, his eyes would drift to the two children from time to time.

The three of Cao Xuan may be a semi-open secret in the circle, but the child is relatively more secretive. When it comes to the outside world, it is covered up with many layers. Even if there are revelations and news on the Internet, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

At least for ordinary people, a lot of Cao Xuan's gossip and information are out of their reach or they don't know the authenticity.

But now that they can see it with their own eyes, or even come into close contact, the impact is still huge for people like them.

Even though they suppressed their emotions, a few girls still couldn't help but scream out in surprise, but everyone can understand that it's not that their professionalism is not high, it's just that this thing is too big, and it wouldn't be much better if they were replaced by others.

Cao Xuan himself was quite calm, and he was still joking with the nurse during the test.

Of course, it might not be a joke. When the nurse saw that she could stab Cao Xuan in the throat, she was obviously excited and even eager to try. Boss Cao also hoped that the other party could calm down.

Because the Cao family was very cooperative, everything was done in less than 20 minutes.

"If it's not convenient for you to join the group, we will send notices to it in the future. When the time comes, the testing will not be done at your door, but will be arranged at a nearby neighborhood committee or park."

"Okay, no problem, we will work together fully."

The housekeeper took out his mobile phone and joined the group. Cao Xuan thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and joined the group. He also added Chen Wang's WeChat privately. The latter would be responsible for related work in Caojia Hutong during this period.

After that, Cao Xuan would only have two people to interact with the staff, drive some supplies to the station, then say goodbye to Chen Wang and others, and close the door and stay home.

The entire team fell into an eerie silence until they exited Cao's alley. Everyone took out their mobile phones almost at the same time.

"It's a group, it's a group, I didn't join, please pull me in."

"What is Cao Xuan's name and what is his avatar?"

"I saw it. The avatar is a starry sky, and the WeChat name is three periods. However, it seems that it is set to add friends from the group chat, and non-friends in the friend circle cannot view it."

Everyone looked at Chen Wang, who put away his phone with a very clear attitude.

A young man and two little girls who had a good relationship with him came up to beg him. Chen Wang was so beaten that he couldn't help it. He promised to check Cao Xuan's circle of friends first. If there was nothing sensitive, he would show it to them, and he couldn't take pictures. and screenshots.

No matter what Chen Wang said at this time, everyone could only agree and nod, so the latter turned on his phone and found that Cao Xuan's circle of friends was only visible for three days.

However, Cao Xuan only had one circle of friends in the past three days, which was a photo and a piece of rice paper with wet ink on the desk. It looked like it was calligraphy written by Cao Xuan himself, with only eight words——

The wind and rain have dispersed, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!

There was nothing to hide in this picture. Chen Wang passed it around to everyone and was immediately recognized by two of them.

"I've seen this picture before, and it seems to have been posted on Weibo."

"That's right, it's even trending."

Everyone was a little disappointed that they didn't get to see some of Boss Cao's exciting news and novelties. However, with the support of the big melon in front, everyone was generally quite satisfied. Even the physical fatigue had dissipated a lot, and they gathered together in twos and threes to whisper.

One of them had serious thoughts and quietly came to Chen Wang: "Should I tell everyone to keep it secret? Otherwise, if the news leaks out, it will offend people."

Chen Wang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "If people dare to take it out, they don't care about us. Besides, there are no photos, and the form is with me, and it is absolutely impossible to upload it according to the regulations. Otherwise, it will be punished if found out. No one will do this easily." It’s a risk, there’s no evidence, no one believes it, and…”

Looking back at Cao's alley, Chen Wangyi pointed out: "It may not be intentional."

………

On the other side, Empress Donggong, who had just returned to the main courtyard, also looked at Cao Xuan hesitantly.

"You are planning to expose the two children."

"Um."

Cao Xuan nodded: "The situation during this time is special. Our family cannot have any special privileges. It will be a matter of time before the two children are exposed. It is better to take this opportunity to point it out. Anyway, we can't hide it for a lifetime."

Seeing that Hu Jing was a little worried, Cao Xuan comforted him: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements. The outside world will only know about these two children. Other information will be kept confidential, including you two, and I am not prepared to disclose it."

Children are one thing, parents are another.

Cao Xuan is ready to be like Chen Kun, binding himself to the child. The mother can guess at will, but will not admit it.

Again, having a child out of wedlock is not a big deal, as long as it comes from two different mothers.

But living with his father and two mothers is a challenge to public order and good customs, and may even involve legal aspects. Especially for a well-known figure like Cao Xuan, it will have a great negative impact.

Cao Xuan can even openly admit that he is in two different situations. The biggest excuse is because of the bondage of his children——

She fell in love with the second house of the East and West, broke up and gave birth to a child. She stayed with one of them, but only raised them together with the other, or had a certain relationship, but they were not together.

Logically, there is no problem. As long as the three of them work together to make confessions, there is nothing the outside can do to them.

Moreover, Cao Cao's reputation as a high-ranking official is not enough to destroy his character. At most, people will have substantive evidence and be more confident when they cast aside him.

But we must never openly admit the fact that we are living together. This is the bottom line of the problem!

Boss Cao once asked lawyers and relevant personnel. As long as the bottom line remains unchanged, given his status and resources, his reputation will be damaged at most, and other problems will be minor.

So after realizing that the child might be exposed, Cao Xuan made preparations.

Nishinomiya was not at home, which was what he had arranged in advance. His mother-in-law, Zengmu, and the nanny lived in an apartment not far away. Zeng Li was worried, so he happened to move over to accompany her.

As long as the two palaces from the east and west don't come together and get caught, Boss Cao has room for mediation.

Seeing that Hu Jing was still a little worried, Cao Xuan smiled confidently: "Don't worry, this matter can't be settled. I've been living in vain for so many years."

If it were true that he committed murder, arson, or committed illegal crimes, Boss Cao would still have a headache and even be frightened.

But this kind of romantic lace really can't hurt anything. If he wasn't a public figure, he wouldn't care about it at all. He would have too many wives to raise.

Cao Xuan had been laying the groundwork for so many years, with the goal of minimizing negative impact and suppressing public opinion at the critical moment. Hu Jing did not know the inside story and thought it was an emergency. In fact, Boss Cao had already started to arrange it.

On that day, staff and medical staff who had visited Caojia Hutong broke the news online.

Maybe they have a good impression of Cao Xuan, and the reviews are quite positive, but they are just surprised that he has two children. However, due to insufficient evidence, they are basically anonymous and not many people believe him.

The incident really started to escalate two days later, when someone posted secretly taken photos and videos on Weibo and Douyin.

At a testing point in the XC area, Cao Xuan, who was wearing a mask, was lining up with two children. The video poster claimed to have heard the two children calling Cao Xuan dad.

Then someone anonymously revealed the test registration of Cao Xuan and his two children. Although the key information and even the names of the children were obscured, the last names were retained.

Cao Xuan, Cao*, Cao*

Later, residents or staff who also participated in the test broke the news, and a lot of information was revealed here and there.

Cao Xuan and the two children were very polite, and they couldn't see their faces because they were covered by masks. However, the nurse who did the test said that the girl was very beautiful.

Someone asked about the relationship on the spot, whether they were father and son. Cao Xuan did not answer, but nodded and asked others not to take pictures of the child.

The girl was quite tall, almost 1.6 meters tall, and the boy was slightly shorter. Someone seemed to hear him calling her sister, but they kept their distance at the time, so they were not sure.

…

For two hours, Weibo was paralyzed!
