Everyone new to the city of dreams is looking for their place, and Xia Qingying and He Min are no exception.
Together with Chen Haoqiang, Zhang Pengyun, Jin Xiaoliu, and Liao Chaoyang, the two came to the office of the security chief Fan Tao in the morning.
The attire of the members of the Minoan League always gives people a mib visual sense, but it lacks seriousness and has a touch of elegance.
Fan Tao greeted people with a smile. Faced with these people who were under pressure and confused, he didn't say much. He led them to walk in the internal passage of the building, and finally came to a door. He pressed the door button, and the door opened, revealing what was in front of him. There was a platform. There were fences on both sides of the platform to prevent falling from high altitudes. The exit of the platform was a passage. In mid-air outside the passage, there was a "car" without wheels floating in the air. To be precise, it was an aircraft.
Although everyone present knew that Horizon Group had already successfully developed an anti-gravity system, and vehicles floating in the air would appear sooner or later with the advancement of technology, but when they actually saw such an aircraft appearing in front of them, they were really frightened. He jumped, with various expressions of shock on his face.
Among them, Liao Chaoyang, who once drove a Dodge Tomahawk modified by Situ Yanxin directly into the sky, was even more curious. He stepped forward, looked at the aircraft that looked like a car without wheels, and said doubtfully: "Situ once said , to realize the popularization of anti-gravity aircraft, a huge energy problem needs to be solved, have you solved it?"
Fan Tao made a one-square-meter frame gesture with both hands in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "There is probably such a large energy device inside the aircraft. You will understand what it is in the future."
"Could this be the entity of the sky train plan announced by Peugeot?"
?? It is an ideal picture of the future. In such an environment, traffic jams will be greatly reduced, but obviously, careful planning is also required.
Fan Tao rubbed his nose and said disapprovingly: "Peugeot is ambitious to reverse the decline of the automobile industry. They are actually making a desperate move. In fact, we are exchanging the finished anti-gravity system for the other party's shares. Their sky train plan will not be realized. , because relying solely on fuel power, the sky will be dyed black in a short period of time."
"Then this is fraud?"
Xia Qingying was a quick talker, but she regretted it after saying it, as if she was slapped in the face.
Fan Tao smiled unconcernedly and said: "That's essentially it, but. Isn't that what the outside world is like? If cheating and treating others with sincerity is a pass in the business world, then there won't be honest people covered in bruises. Having said that, Xia Miss, buy shares in Peugeot to defraud the other party's shares. Cash out in the future or acquire the other party when Peugeot is on the verge of extinction. This plan is Mr. Tang's idea."
Xia Qingying shot herself in the foot, looking embarrassed. The men next to him lowered their heads and smiled knowingly, and even He Min squinted and snickered.
"Ma'am, please go first."
Fan Tao extended his hand to invite Xia Qingying and He Min to board the aircraft first. Others followed.
Riding this aircraft to hover over the city, overlooking the entire crystal-ground-like city, familiar with the functions and work plans of each area, Fan Tao introduced them in detail like a tour guide.
Finally, they returned to the platform and stood on the edge of the fence looking down at the ground. Xia Qingying asked thoughtfully: "Are we going to join the law enforcement team here?"
Fan Tao raised his head with a troubled expression and said calmly: "Law? There is no such thing here."
"No?!"
Xia Qingying looked incredulous. From birth to now, she has lived in a society defined by laws and regulations. It should be common sense that there is no rule without rules.
Fan Tao snapped his fingers and said calmly: "Yes, no. If you tell people what they can and cannot do, then people will evade their responsibilities, try to find loopholes in the law, and wander in the gray area."
"Then how do you maintain order here?"
"I don't know, but if there must be a definition, it would be more appropriate to use moral principles. In other words, there will only be one kind of people here, people who are welcomed and trusted, and there will be people who cannot be trusted and are not welcomed. appears, then this person will be expelled. Here, people do not need to bear the material pressure in the outside world. They work hard, have everything they need, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and have collective support. If they want to travel around the world, this is all achievable. We are not aggressive towards people. On the contrary, if a person recognized by us here is violated outside, then we will go to war with anyone to demand justice.??So, although I am responsible for the security here, in fact, I am not the enforcer of internal order, but to protect the tranquility and peace here and ensure that every companion who is like family can get justice and fairness without doing evil. treatment. "
"Peace? It sounds like this kind of peace will not last long. If people were always so simple, then the world would be simple."
Zhang Pengyun said with a slightly deep expression.
Fan Tao lit a cigarette and lay on the fence. The breeze passed by and blew up the hair covering one of his eyes. Others inadvertently discovered that there was a shocking scar at the corner of his eye. It looked like it had been there for a long time. Left over from the past.
"Brother Zhang, what you actually want to say is that I am stupid. The peace I pursue is so simple, just like the lines of a hero in a cartoon. Haha, maybe it is indeed naive, simple, or even stupid. But, I think Let me tell you, Mr. Tang is a man who creates miracles. No matter in this city or in this small world, the peace where everyone lives in harmony will last for a short time. But in order to pursue this short-term peace, I think it is worth it. Work hard for this. To be honest, I used to be an urban management coordinator. In the process of patrolling the streets to assist in law enforcement, I saw too many disputes in the market and participated in them personally. You may not believe me when I tell you. The scar was left by a child under ten years old. The child came from the countryside and was selling fruit on the street with his father. We had a conflict. The tricycle filled with fruit was overturned and fell to the ground. The simple father knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. , that child, with tears streaming down his face, grabbed a fruit knife as if he was going crazy to kill someone. When the blood seeped into my eyes, I saw that the world in front of me was filled with horrific blood red, and the child's face was also splattered with blood. , he knelt down and trembled in fear, and shouted helplessly: Why don't you let us sell fruit here? Without money, my mother lying in the hospital bed will be driven away by the doctor! At that moment, didn't I see clearly? The world. Instead, I see myself clearly, and I am asking myself: What are you doing? If it is to support your own salary, then why do you push others to death? If it is to regulate the city, make the city look brand new, and then welcome A high-ranking big shot comes to inspect and make a nice mark on the official's merit book. So, should we ignore the suffering people? Obviously the economy has not developed to that wealthy level. There are still people who are hungry and even their families are missing. None, but they talk about how a moderately prosperous society has been achieved. I haven¡¯t read many books, but I understand that the law exists to make the world a better place. But as a coordinator assisting law enforcement, I am personally creating tragedies, and that child The doctor in my mouth and the law enforcement officers around me are two types of people that God requires to have a conscience. But even if you have a conscience, you cannot withstand the pressure of a bureaucratic order."
Even though autumn in Africa is not cold. But the gentle breeze still chilled the hearts of everyone present.
Xia Qingying couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"
Fan Tao blew out the smoke, closed his eyes and said solemnly: "The onlookers with a sense of justice began to support the father and son, and some people were booing with bad intentions, inciting the onlookers to besiege us. Finally, the police arrived at the scene to relieve the siege, or in other words , saved us. The most ironic thing is that the father and son received condolences from the city leaders and generously allowed the hospital to treat the mother of the child for free. However, all our coordinators involved in the incident were fired and declared to the outside world to be temporary workers. Official urban management officials have been subject to administrative sanctions. Haha, those are the people who asked us to go to the streets to clean up illegal vendors. In the end, it is those people who accuse us. After all, what should we do to be satisfied? We have done a good job, and it is theirs Credit, we cause disputes, it becomes our responsibility, we are insulted and accused, what kind of violent law enforcement, haha, we just don¡¯t have police certificates, the police, the army, aren¡¯t they all violent institutions? A few words can change the world If we want everything to be beautiful and orderly, then why do police officers need to have guns?"
Having said this, Fan Tao opened his eyes, turned to look at Xia Qingying, and said sincerely: "Miss Xia, I know what job you hold in China. Since you followed Mr. Tang's footsteps and came here, please assist him and us. , to realize his childish dream, no longer mixed with bureaucracy, power, interests, and other factors, but simply to protect this place in the simplest way, so that the peace here can exist to the maximum extent. This is Tang Sir, that silly dream is also mine, and it is what everyone in the Minoan League pursues."
Xia Qingying had a soft look on her face and her eyes were slightly moist. She recalled Tang Xin's hearty words in her mind: The environment breeds people, and no one is born good or evil.
Here, perhaps, Tang Xin¡¯s dream really carries, that silly, naive, childish dream that makes you want to laugh but cry at the same time.
Let¡¯s keep this place different from the outside world and not be tainted by those extremely bad negative factors. Let¡¯s keep it as long as possible!
Someone came from behind applauding, and everyone looked back, only to see He Tianci suddenly appeared, walked up to Fan Tao with a solemn expression, stretched out his right hand, and said seriously: "No matter how long peace will last here, , when will people's innocence deteriorate? We try our best to protect this place. Maybe it will eventually evolve into a complicated situation, and there will be various thorny problems. But let us stick to this belief and work hard. !¡±
Fan Tao straightened up, with a gentle smile on his face, and looked down at He Tianci, who was not even at the height of his chest. He raised his hand, instead of holding He Tianci's hand, he touched the top of He Tianci's head. He smiled cheerfully and said, "My God-given brother, thank you."
"Damn it! I was touched by your words just now. I came to shake hands with you seriously, but you actually despise me so much! Hey, hey, don't laugh! You all are not allowed to laugh! Wait, wait for me! Tang Xin, it¡¯s all because of you, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±
He Tianci was furious, but in the end he was helpless to everyone who was laughing. (To be continued.)
