The Witch's Taste

Chapter 180

At the foot of Izumo Kamiyama, taxis were already parked.

There is an endless stream of traffic in the distance, sending waves of pilgrims here, which shows the importance of New Year's blessings to many island people.

Chen Ziang stopped a taxi, stuffed Xia Zili in his arms, then quickly closed the door, and told the driver:

"Go to Tonegawa Road, Gunma Ward!"

"Guests, please fasten your seat belts." The driver started the car.

Obviously, the driver was unaware of the impending chaos in the city.

"Chen Ziang." Xia Zili quickly handed over the phone after sitting firmly on her side.

Chen Ziang took a closer look. There was a real-time traffic navigation map on the screen of the mobile phone. It can be seen that the entrance to the inter-district elevated highway on the east side of Jiubu District has been blocked. The purpose is probably to prevent the unemployed miners who arrived in Jibei City from going to the city center.

However, the inter-district entrance on the north side is not blocked. The reason is that if you go to Shinjuku from the north entrance, you need to go through Kobe, Izumo, Higurashi and Gunma, and the detour time is almost tripled.

But... Chen Ziang was very clear in his heart.

With so many unemployed miners, someone will definitely try to detour.

Once there are enough people to detour, the authorities will inevitably block the exit of the inter-district elevated road here, which may cause the taxi that he and Xia Zili took to be blocked halfway on the elevated road.

At that time, the car can't get off, so I can only abandon the car and walk, and when will I have to wait to go home!
"Master, please don't take the elevated highway, take the Rimu District Highway." Chen Ziang said hastily.

Between the Izumo District and the Gunma District is the Higurashi District. As a gathering place for residents older than the Gunma District, there are a large number of intricate two-lane old-fashioned roads here, which will definitely not be closed for a while.

"The roads in the Rimu District are not easy to travel." The driver was obviously reluctant, "and the gas fee is also more expensive."

"I'll just pay for the extra expenses." Chen Ziang insisted.

"Guests, the company is now cracking down on detours and increasing tolls. The mobile phone software will record the driving route. I can't explain it when the time comes." The driver still refused to let go.

Chen Ziang was a little helpless, and was about to reveal his identity as an officer of the Intelligence Bureau, but Xia Zili took off his hat, sunglasses, and mask, revealing his gorgeous blond hair and delicate face, and begged:
"Master driver, can you not take the elevated road? It's blocked over there."

"You are... Kiritani Maki?!" The driver looked in the rearview mirror, and suddenly let go of the accelerator in fright, and the driving speed slowed down quickly, "That big singing star, Kiritani Maki?"

"It's me." Xia Zili said.

"That, that..." The driver, a middle-aged man in his 40s, murmured like a child at this time, and said with an embarrassed smile, "My wife and daughter are both your fans. Can I trouble you to sign it after delivery?"

"Yes." Xia Zili said quickly, "But please don't take the elevated road. There are reporters from the entertainment tabloids ambush and follow the car over the elevated road, wanting to take photos of my boyfriend and I's scandal."

This excuse is full of mistakes and omissions, but once fans see their idol face to face, their IQ will be cut in half.

"Hey, these paparazzi are too much now." The driver subconsciously cursed, and the middle-aged male's unique sense of bragging, immediately slapped his chest, and said proudly, "No problem! I am very familiar with the Higurashi District. As long as the car drives there, I will get rid of any reporter convoy!"

He began to concentrate on driving, and looked at the left and right rearview mirrors from time to time, not to confirm the distance between the left and right rear cars, but to check for suspicious vehicles following him.

Chen Ziang was stunned by the side, while Xia Zili leaned over and whispered:
"It's easy for an uncle like this to sympathize with young girls. And he also has a family, so I say we are a couple, and it is easier to arouse his empathy."

This can be regarded as an explanation of "my boyfriend and I" before, but Chen Ziang didn't believe it at all.

In fact, as long as you say that you are Kiritani Maki, the driver can't think at all, and can only say "good, good"... As for the name of the couple, do you have to talk to me?

He was used to being teased by Yue Gong Suzuna as her boyfriend in various occasions before, and Chen Ziang was already used to it. He didn't bother to pursue Xia Zili's petty thoughts. He just continued to watch the real-time traffic conditions on his phone, feeling secretly nervous - he just hoped not to be stopped halfway.

Looking at the work group, Xia Qingyu hadn't come back yet, and everyone was already leaderless.

In the event of such a turbulent order, the Public Security Department must first be the main force that must go into battle. Theoretically speaking, the Intelligence Bureau also has the responsibility to maintain order and stability in the star area, so it should not be able to escape.

But the Fifth Department of the Intelligence Bureau is an agency on the side of mystery. This kind of thing has not yet involved mystery, and it seems that it has not entered the scope of everyone's business.

Coupled with the absence of the leader, everyone can only share their own information first, so as not to be in a hurry when things really fall on their heads.

The instigator of the current chaos in the city, the Dijing Group, is said to have submitted an explanation to the high-level, claiming that it was not intentional disturbance, but a broken capital chain, so it had to continue to survive.

They said that they had reached an agreement with the Bacht family, and the other party would bring the mining ship over to mine, and then Dijing Group could make a big fuss about it and brag, in order to persuade investors to continue to inject capital.

As a result, the mining ship could not enter Gaotianyuan at all, Dijing Group's dream came to nothing, and the confidence of the investors was shaken violently, which led to the problems in the capital chain finally breaking out.

To put it bluntly, the mining industry is still an asset-heavy industry.To mine a mine, a lot of mining equipment and experienced labor are needed, and the operating costs of these mining towns are naturally quite high, consuming a lot of money every day like a bottomless pit.

When minerals can still be produced in sufficient quantities, the rate of return on investment through trade with the Bakht family is still very strong—why would there be a stalk of "the family has mines"?

When the superficial mineral resources are exhausted, the daily mining volume will drop sharply, but your equipment loss and personnel wages will not be reduced accordingly. These mining towns will immediately become non-performing assets, and they are also useless baggage that Dijing Group is eager to get rid of.

According to the meaning of the top management of Jibei City, enterprises must have a sense of social responsibility.It is absolutely impossible for the workers to earn so much money for you, and once they stop making money, they will cut it up and throw it away. This is absolutely not allowed.

What about the money you made before? !
Dijing Group is also very bachelor, and even willing to let the official to check the accounts - in short, there is no money.

The money earned before was used in the research and development of new energy, and this was in response to the government's "industrial transformation" plan. Last year, it was commended by the Ping'an District TV station as a typical case!
Chen Ziang frowned, carefully analyzed the information shared by his colleagues, and felt that the matter seemed to have reached a deadlock.

Dijing Group has no money to subsidize these unemployed miners, what should we do?
There is no way, we can't let the top pay for it.If the landlord's family has no surplus food, does the imperial court have it?

So this life-saving money no longer exists, and the final outcome must be that the unemployed miners swallow the bitter pill.

But the number of these unemployed people is too large, and it is impossible for them all to leave honestly.Dogs will bite people when they are starving to death, not to mention these workers who have been engaged in high-intensity physical exercise for a long time?

Next, stay at home for the time being, and stay behind closed doors.
