Darkness is Coming

sit?

   Zhu Da looked at the stone chairs by the rockery pool and hesitated.

  There are six stone chairs under the rockery, one high and five low. The tall one is similar to a normal high-backed chair, while the short ones are like small horses, which are more like stone piers than stone chairs.

   Now the legendary President Yang is sitting on the high stone chair, where should others sit? Zhu Da thought to himself, do you want to sit on those small stone piers?

   If you sit down, your legs must be bent, and the posture like squatting on a toilet is very unsightly. If only this was the case, there was another problem. Sitting on the stone pier, the whole person was much shorter than President Yang, who was sitting on the high-backed stone chair, and he had to raise his head when speaking.

   How can this work? This is more than the window of the Letters and Visits Office to receive petitioners. He Zhuda is the secretary of the dignified provincial capital city district party committee, and the only son of Secretary Wang is standing beside him. Even if the provincial party committee standing committee receives them, they cannot be allowed to sit on such a cold bench, right?

   However, Zhu Da is a rather smooth old fried dough stick. He didn't make the first statement, but glanced at Wang Qianming first.

   Seeing that Wang Qianming was also looking gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't mean to sit on the stone bench, Zhu Da breathed a sigh of relief. If Wang Gongzi didn't sit, he wouldn't have to sit. If Wang Gongzi did, he would have to sit even if he didn't want to.

   "Huh?" Yang Xiaoqian glanced at it, and seeing that the two of them were standing still, he waved his hand, "Leave one."

"Yes, President." The boy who led Wang Zhu and Wang Zhu in responded, walked up to the front, folded the four stone chairs together, and walked away with ease, leaving only Yang Xiaoqian behind. The nearest stone chair.

   Faced with these two people, Yang Xiaoqian's attitude is very simple, just stand if you don't want to sit. This is a habit Yang Xiaoqian developed as the president of the Yuanjiao Society. In order to improve the reporting efficiency, there is usually only one chair in the president's office. Qualified to sit in the president's office.

   This is a detail that all members of the Yuanjiao Society know, but Zhu Da didn’t understand the situation, so he couldn’t understand it.

What does it mean? Zhu Da was confused. Is this going to replace them with new chairs or what? Is there any meaning to just leaving a stone chair?

   Soon Zhu Da understood the "deep meaning" of it. President Yang raised his legs and put them on the lower stone chair. He placed his right leg on his left and stretched out, feeling contented.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Da saw that President Yang was reading a book on his own, without looking at his own eyes. His temples on both sides of his anger were beating along with his heart. He couldn't hold his breath and took a step forward. , Shen Sheng said: "Mr. Yang, I'm Zhu Da, Secretary of the Changjiang District Party Committee of Nandu City. I'm here to talk to you about the transformation of shanty towns."

   "Oh." Yang Xiaoqian said flatly without raising his head, "I don't have much time, so keep your story short and briefly report it."

   "Ha." Wang Ganming couldn't help but make a yin and yang sound, then sneered and shook his head.

  Report?

   Let the secretary of the district party committee come to the door in person and wait for you to take a nap, and let the secretary of the district party committee make a long story short and make a brief report? who do you think You Are? mayor? Party Secretary? A yellow-mouthed child who has not even grown his hair, thinking that he has fought a war is incredible, how can he be so arrogant? Wang Ganming shone sarcastically under his gold-rimmed glasses. If it wasn't for the public opinion support for the shanty town renovation project he was working on, he would definitely turn around and leave now.

   "Okay, then I'll briefly report the situation."

  Wang Qianming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhu Da beside him with rounded eyes, unable to believe what he heard.

   Zhu Da took a step forward cautiously, avoiding Wang Qianming's surprised gaze, and slightly lowered his head to organize the language.

  Wang Qianming was born with a golden key and was pampered since he was a child. No matter where he went, most of the time he was seen by others. Moreover, he spent most of his time abroad and had little experience in dealing with high-ranking people in China. But Zhu Da is different. Zhu Da was born in the countryside and has no political resources. He is all alone in this big dye vat, and he has long since cultivated the ability to see people.

   Before Yang Xiaoqian responded, Zhu Da still had great anger and dissatisfaction, but he could not bear it because of the depth of the city. But hearing Yang Xiaoqian's phrase "long story short, simple report" was like a monstrous flood, which flooded Zhu Da's heart all of a sudden, making him agitated.

   There is no other reason. As the secretary of the district party committee in the developed urban area of ​​the provincial capital city, Zhu Da has a lot of experience in receiving superior leaders, and is very familiar with the manners of the superiors.

The appearance of this young man just now reminded Zhu Da of the former secretary of the Jiangbei Provincial Party Committee. The aura of not being angry and self-righteous, having great power, a natural and unpretentious attitude, and a light but unquestionable tone are by no means ordinary people. imitated at will. Moreover, compared to the retired provincial party secretary, the aura surrounding the young man in front of him was even more intense, a little less reserved and restrained, and a little more domineering and aggressive. The sea is monstrous.

  There are only two kinds of people who can make Zhu Da feel this way. They are either those who are capable of acting as an official, a rare actor in the country, or they are senior officials who have been in high positions for a long time.

If you really want to compare, maybe the number of the former is even smaller. They will not appear in film and television dramas. Instead, they will all appear in places like Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the Great Hall of the People, etc., playing high-ranking officials, "meeting" local officials and private business executives. , a lie and a quasi. In the past few years, there were many local officials with insufficient intelligence and information, who went to Shangjing and were so fooled by these old liars that their own mothers did not know them.

   But to be an actor like that, you must not only be an old performer, but also have an environment that is infused with official spirit. This young man in front of him doesn't necessarily have such talent and resources, right? Then think of him from that hell-like place, crossed the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and his true identity is ready to be revealed.

I wish Da was not stupid, or else I wouldn't be able to get where I am today. Once I guessed the answer, I carefully recalled all kinds of news that were recently spread in Jiangbei's official circles. I was so scared that my legs went weak. How dare I have any temper, just go away He stepped forward, bent down like a little secretary, and started reporting.

"That's right, Mr. Yang, the provincial party committee has long since held a meeting and decided to prepare all the resettlement work before all the people in Yuanjiang withdraw from Yuanjiang. This resettlement work is simple to say, but in fact 120% It is complicated, first of all to solve the housing problem, then the employment problem, then the problem of children's schooling, and finally the problem of environmental impact. These problems are managed by different departments, and the coordination work under cross management is very difficult to do, and it will definitely be a group. Messy."

After a pause, Zhu Da glanced at Yang Xiaoqiangujing Wubo's face, and then continued after deliberation: "Besides, more than 200,000 people are equivalent to a small county, and it is a big problem to easily move anywhere. If you are not careful, it will cause serious social problems. Even if some of the more than 200,000 people will defect to relatives and friends in other provinces and cities, the rest will still be difficult to handle. President Yang, let’s talk about the situation in Yuanjiang. The comrades of our municipal party committee know a little bit more, and after experiencing so many things, not many people are willing to be separated from their compatriots in Yuanjiang."

"Hey, to put it badly, we don't want the people in Yuanjiang to be separated, because the people who came down on this battlefield will have some leftover problems, both physical and psychological, the most fearful thing is lack of identity, It is difficult to quickly integrate into the society, if there are no familiar and similar companions around, rushing to an unfamiliar city, it is easy to lose touch with the society, and if the situation is serious, the slightest carelessness will cause security incidents.”

"Think about it, so many people slashing and killing zombies has become an instinct and a habit. What if there are a few sleepwalkers who get up in the middle of the night and chop up people outside as zombies, or have a conflict with people and can't control it? Emotions, giving people... If such a thing happens, not only the government will have to bear great responsibility, but other Yuanjiang people will also be greatly passive."

   "click"

  Yang Xiaoqian closed the book, looked at Zhu Da for the first time since Wang Zhu and the others entered the door, and then said into the air, "Bring a chair here."
