dream pocket

Near the middle of April, the luxury Boeing airliner of Horizon Group took off from Tianhai to Gansu Province.

Tang Xin was sitting on the sofa in the business district, crossing his legs and reading entertainment magazines.

"Wow, Feng Lingxi is about to become an entertainment star. Look at what the magazines said. Mr. Feng, the director of Horizon Group, staged the plot of "Fake God 2" in real life. He may like this movie very much and admire Sri Lanka very much. Steve Carell, therefore played a role-playing role, but he revised the script, he did not build Noah's Ark with the birds and beasts of nature, but predicted that there would be an earthquake, if he wanted to act more If it’s realistic, then he should hire a make-up artist to make him look like Jesus Christ.”

Tang Xin threw the magazine away casually and smiled heartily.

Holding a big bowl in his hand, Dong Tianhua, who had just made fruit salad by himself, came to him and sat down, put the bowl on the table, ate with a spoon in one hand, and flipped through a magazine with the other, and laughed out loud after reading it Said: "Feng Lingxi has become a circus clown now."

"Clown? I sent him to Gan Province."

Tang Xin said with a smile, Dong Tianhua was a little suspicious, staring at Tang Xin and asked: "Little brother Tang, are you trying to punish him?"

"Would it make me happy to punish him? But you're right. If an earthquake doesn't happen, he's a clown. If it happens, he's a hero."

Dong Tianhua couldn't laugh anymore.

Clowns are not clowns, no matter how much the media makes Feng Lingxi a topic, this is secondary.

And everyone seems to have ignored an essentially cruel reality.

The cause of this matter is whether there will be earthquakes in the future.

There is no room for child's play.

"Little Brother Tang, let's go to Gan Province this time. Why?"

Tang Xin sighed softly, and instead of answering, asked, "Tianhua, in the mainstream class thinking, people are afraid of businessmen, and businessmen are afraid of officials. It seems that this can't be changed, right?"

Dong Tianhua blinked, and said casually while eating: "It should be. It is very common in life. The common people dare not offend the rich, and the rich want to bow to the officials. Coincidentally, I have seen many people who have nothing. The young man asked my cousin to recommend himself, he wanted to fly into the sky, and he was used to giving gifts in various ways to curry favor with my uncle, which just explained the problem of Brother Tang."

Tang Xin thought for a while, no matter what kind of person Dong Tianhua is, at least he grew up in a family like the Dong family, and he was more deeply influenced by what he saw and heard than ordinary people.

He seemed heartless.But the brain is not muddy at critical times.

"Little Brother Tang, let's go to Gan Province this time. Are you going to wrestle with people in the officialdom as a businessman?"

Dong Tianhua said with a half-smile.

After living in prison for a few months, he felt that his father was very wise. Although he was usually a bit bored, he occasionally went out with Tang Xin for a breath of air.

Tang Xin chuckled and said, "You've said a bit too much. Does it make sense for me to fight against someone? Although struggle is the main theme of this world, I'm not interested in the pure battle between the strong and the weak. I just asked that. I just think A person cultivated by the Feng family, a family of merchants, Feng Lingxi, he is still a bit rigid."

"Hey, you mean he didn't dare to challenge the officials of Gan Province, he's a bit timid, isn't he?"

"Hey, if you want to think that you are powerful if you can shake your face and slap the table with the officials, then I have nothing to say, it's the same sentence, let's talk about the matter, don't care about those superficial things. If you can get things done and achieve your goals, The middle process is secondary. We don’t live for others to see. If others think you are strong, you will be happy. If others think you are weak, you will be angry. How tiring.”

"Little brother Tang is so free and easy, which is rare in the world."

"Ass flattering."

Tang Xin smiled casually and picked up a business magazine to look through. In fact, he knew in his heart that if he said that he didn't care about other people's eyes, the person in front of him might be more free and easy than him.

If Dong Tianhua could take the initiative to go to the city bureau to admit that he was a piao-prostitute, if he cared about other people's eyes and slobber, he might rather die than agree, but he agreed without hesitation from the very beginning.

. . . . . .

The plane landed in Lancheng, Gansu Province. The people who came to greet Tang Xin cooperated with Situ Yanxin. As the representative of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Chang Lan brought Tang Xin with the latest earthquake monitoring data and drove to Baichengjing together. county.

Recently, Feng Lingxi's abnormal behavior in the west of Jing County has become the topic of discussion among the people of the whole country. The pressure of public opinion has affected the official circles of Baicheng. Mayor Liu Guilai will be asked about Feng Lingxi's actions almost every day.

Some questions were harsh, while others were vexatious.

But the general direction is two extremes.

Leaving it alone is the market mishandling it?

Private entrepreneurs are contributing to the prevention of earthquakes, why do the city government stand idly by?

These two extreme problems bothered the leaders of Baicheng City. Liu Guilai couldn't bear the trouble, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked someone to drive to the scene in the west of Jing County.

Mayor Liu specially called the police to go together, and it was dusk when their convoy arrived at the scene.

Under the orange light, Liu Gui got out of the car and froze in place.

Ignoring the crowd of reporters rushing forward, he looked over and saw that the tents set up on the open plain seemed to have the momentum of camping in the wild in ancient wars.

"Is this filming Liu Xuande's Baili Company of the Three Kingdoms?"

Liu Guilai was full of slander, and after sorting out his emotions, he asked the secretary to block the reporter, and he rushed towards Feng Lingxi who was standing in the refuge camp looking through the documents in his hand.

After a few days, Feng Lingxi seemed to have had a lot of vicissitudes, probably due to the harsh living conditions in the wild and the weather.

"Mr. Feng, are you still going to finish? How long are you going to play this farce? This has seriously affected the daily life of our people in Baicheng! Please tell me clearly and remove these immediately! Otherwise, I will In the name of violating the public security management regulations, please ask the police comrades to detain you!"

Liu Guilai came to Feng Lingxi with a gloomy face, and issued a stern warning.

Feng Lingxi looked at Mayor Liu with complicated eyes, and sighed: "Mayor Liu, you still decided to take the risk, didn't you? If there is really a land..."

"Don't talk to me about these useless things. I don't want to listen. I only listen to the orders of the superiors. They didn't say that there will be an earthquake in Jing County. Do I listen to you? Why do you want to make trouble in our small place?" What about the rain? Go back to your metropolis and have a happy life! Don’t make it difficult for everyone to get off the stage!”

Seeing Liu Guilai's reckless appearance, at the same time, there are a few comrades in the police who are about to move behind him.

Feng Lingxi sighed softly, and turned his head to wink at a man in his thirties who was wearing a military uniform. The man walked up with his head held high, and first gave a military salute to everyone.Then Su Rong said: "I'm sorry, we are conducting a drill, please leave the irrelevant personnel."

Liu Guilai looked in disbelief, first looked at the stars on the opponent's shoulder, and then said solemnly: "Comrade Battalion Commander, look at how many reporters are outside and how many people are watching, is this like a drill? "

The battalion commander also refused to enter, no matter how Mayor Liu persuaded him.He just didn't budge, he just obeyed the instructions of his superiors.According to military orders, local officials can't command him at all.

Feng Lingxi stood silently at the side, and he didn't know the reason. It seemed that the He family came forward to say hello to the Lancheng Military Region, but he wasn't sure that the He family could actually dispatch two battalions from the Lancheng Military Region. It also played the guise of an exercise.

The military and the government are two systems. The military does not know the news from the National Earthquake Administration, but the cooperation of the Lancheng Military District in Gansu Province this time was specially ordered by the top military.As a repayment of favors from Horizon Group, especially to Tang Xin.

However, the stalemate cannot continue under the guise of the exercise. The time limit given by the Lancheng Military Region is one month. After one month, the members of the two battalions will be recalled.

Liu Guilai found out that Feng Lingxi was hiding behind the battalion commander, and he didn't dare to act rashly because the other party had his support.If there is a conflict, he can't afford the consequences.

He could only persuade the battalion commander earnestly while being kicked out again.

Just as he was forced to go outside, a man in his 30s suddenly appeared beside Liu Guilai.He said to Liu Guilai with a serious expression: "Mayor Liu, hello, let's take a step to talk."

Liu Guilai looked this strange man up and down, seeing that he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he didn't dare to underestimate him, but he couldn't figure out who he was, so he asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"My name is Chen Luo. I'm from the capital. I want to talk to you privately."

Mayor Liu was still contemplating, but Chen Luo grabbed his arm and walked aside.

"Mayor Liu, the current situation is like this. Don't interfere with any affairs of the Horizon Group. Before tonight, I will give you an answer and tell you what to do."

Chen Luo's face sank like water and he finished speaking in a low voice, Liu Guilai couldn't help but laugh.

"You tell me what to do? How can anyone shit and piss on my head? Hey, I'm the mayor of Baicheng City. Who are you? There are tens of millions of people in the capital, can someone come and boss me around? "

Liu Guilai has been holding back his anger recently, and if he doesn't vent it, he will suffer to death.

When Chen Luo wanted to say a few more words, a few cars outside the crowd arrived and caught his attention.

After seeing the young man getting off the car, Chen Luo immediately left Mayor Liu and walked towards that man.

"Wow, what a grand occasion."

Dong Tianhua became Tang Xin's driver again, he didn't complain at all, when he got out of the car and saw the magnificent scene of "Hundred Li Company", he whistled indifferently and said with a smile.

Tang Xin got out of the car and bumped him with the shoulder, Dong Tianhua immediately put away his hippie smile.

Tang Xin was waiting for Chang Lan to come down from the car behind and went in to meet Feng Lingxi together, when he saw Chen Luo walking towards him, he was really surprised.

When Chen Luo walked in front of Tang Xin, he made eye contact with him and greeted him. Without talking nonsense, he handed over the satellite phone in his hand to Tang Xin.

Tang Xin probably guessed who was on the other end of the phone, so he took the phone, turned around, put his hand on the roof of the car and smiled, "Long time no contact, how are you?"

"Little Tang, do you still have the heart to greet me? I heard about the recent actions of Horizon Group in Gansu Province. Combined with the information from the Seismological Bureau, I learned that the newly developed and put into use system has not been verified. Whether it is accurate, Xiao Tang, how sure are you?"

Tang Xin closed his eyes and smiled, shook his head slightly and said to the phone: "Sure? You shouldn't ask me, you should ask the tens of thousands of scientific researchers in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the R&D system. They are theoretical researchers and practical creators, consuming manpower and material resources. The system created is somewhat certain. They know it, but I don’t know it. What I know is that we have experienced disasters before, and explained afterwards that this is a technological limitation. We can accurately predict typhoons, reverse soil erosion, or not. All of this is the progress brought about by science and technology, and we have scientific and technological achievements today, but in turn we have to question, what are we afraid of? Is it optimistic with a fluke mentality? This is It’s a paradoxical situation, since you don’t believe in technology, why did the state support it last year? It wasn’t to give me Tang Xin’s face, I know how much Tang Xin has, and I know it well.”

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally hung up after saying a word.

"Xiao Tang, just let go and do it, no matter what the result is, thank you."
