Zhao Rui pulled off the cork of the wine bottle, took a big sip into his mouth, and frowned, although he had drunk the beer of this era a few times, it was still a little unsuitable, because of the production and purification process of this era, so the beer was not as refreshing as in the old time and space, and there was some bitter taste.

And Gao Senhang on the opposite side only took two sips, put down the bottle, shook his head, and said: "I'm still not used to drinking the beer of this era, compared to the beer before we crossed over, the beer of this era is really like water." ”

Zhu Nanzhen is a little displeased, he does not have much good feelings for this bay, speaking of which he is not a bad person, that is, some look down on Chinese mainland, when with them, Gao Senhang always brings out a sense of superiority, when talking about China, often with a disdainful tone.

However, after getting along for a long time, Zhu Nanzhen found that this was not all Gao Senhang's fault, a large part of the reason was that he was brainwashed by the media on the island, and his concept of Chinese mainland has always been "can't afford to eat tea eggs", "Chinese mainland people can't afford computers, so they have to use mobile phones", "Chinese mainland only has a primary school graduation education level" In fact, Gao Senhang's personality is not bad, soft-spoken, polite, and does show that he is well-educated, plus they are the suppliers designated by the head office, so he doesn't care too much.

Huang Zhiwei, who was sitting next to Gao Senhang, also poured two sips of beer, glanced at his companion, and said: "Senhang, what time do you think it is now, and you are still in Taipei? Now it is 1900, and even Taipei is still just a wasteland, so it would be good to have such a beer to drink."

Zeng Linghan, another companion of theirs, looked at Guo Yan in front of him blankly, and said, "You say, until now, we really can't go back to our original era?"

Wang Chi said with a smile: "Didn't you read all the time-traveling novels I showed you? That person can travel back after crossing, so don't think about going back, let's honestly think about how to live well in this era." ”

Zeng Linghan was a little dazed and said: "But what can we do, and what can I do?" I used to be just a clerk, and it seems that I can't do any of the jobs recruited in Tianjin now." ”

Wang Chi said: "I'm not a technical person either? Isn't the Temporary Executive Committee recruiting grassroots staff now, this doesn't require any technical ability, you can give it a try, and I plan to sign up for training tomorrow." Do any of you want to go with me? ”

Zeng Linghan looked at Zhao Rui and said with a little fear: "Zhao Rui, haven't you worked on the construction site for more than ten days? If the countryside in this era is really like what he said, I really can't get used to it." ”

Wang Chi, Zhao Rui, and Zhu Nanzhen are all engineers of the original power plant project, while Gao Senhang, Huang Zhiwei, and Zeng Linghan are all from Taiwan and are an equipment supplier for the power plant project.

Although it is an engineer, Wang Chi is a safety officer, Zhao Rui is a data officer, Zhu Nanzhen is a programmer, and when the equipment is installed on site, they are all involved in the docking with the supplier, so after a long time, they are slowly familiar with Gao Senhang, Huang Zhiwei, and Zeng Linghan.

After crossing into this era, these Taiwanese seem very confused, not knowing where their direction is, in fact, not only them, but a small number of foreigners in the crossing group have similar emotions. First, they have not been influenced by time-traveling novels, and second, among these five or six thousand Chinese, only these few dozen foreigners, psychologically speaking, they will also feel isolated and helpless. Although in the eyes of foreigners, Taiwanese can also be regarded as Chinese, these Taiwanese do not have this sense of identity, so they feel even more at a loss.

And Wang Chi, Zhao Rui, and Zhu Nanzhen are all young people in their twenties and less than thirty years old, and they have read a lot of travel novels back then, so after the crossing happened, they did not reject it, but were full of expectations for this crossing.

However, the progress of the situation after the crossing made them find that the crossing is not the same thing, maybe the era of the crossing is not good, or there are too many people crossing, from the very beginning they are ordinary people under the strict protection of the army, step by step, cautious, even after the capture of Dagukou, the space for activities is still limited, and there is no trace of the predecessors who have crossed the wind and rain, and the high-spirited demeanor.

And the continuous battles that took place after the crossing also made Wang Chi, Zhao Rui, and Zhu Nanzhen understand that it was not an easy thing to cross, if it weren't for the fact that there was a strong army to cross with him, but a person who crossed to this troubled world alone, it is estimated that he would hang up in three days.

Later, when the army occupied Tianjin and gradually stabilized, the activity space of ordinary traversers became larger, and a large number of jobs appeared in the traversal group, which finally gave the traversers the opportunity to show their talents, but unfortunately Wang Chi, Zhao Rui, and Zhu Nanzhen belonged to a typical dick in the old time and space.

Naturally, they did not have their share in the establishment of the Provisional Executive Committee, and when the army recruited reserve soldiers, they all went to sign up, but because the physical fitness of the three was average, the results were all brushed off, which once again proved what a truth the saying "the body is the capital of the revolution", so all three signed up for military training, hoping to make up for their physical fitness.

At this time, Tianjin began to build a new countryside, so Zhao Rui signed up to become an engineer, while Wang Chi and Zhu Nanzhen thought that it was better to train their bodies stronger first, so they continued to stay in Dagukou to refine their bodies.

Although Zhao Rui is also an engineer, he is only a data clerk, the main job is not to command and manage the construction on the spot, but to stay in the office of the project headquarters to sort, compile, and save all kinds of relevant data documents, as a result, he only stayed on the construction site of the new countryside for more than ten days, and he really couldn't stand the difficult original conditions, so he resigned from this job and returned to the current society on the passenger ro-ro ship.

Of course, in Zhao Rui's heart, he didn't think that he couldn't endure hardship, but that the conditions on the construction site were too poor, and it was not an environment where people could survive at all, so after returning to the passenger ro-ro boat, he tried his best to describe to his companions how bad the environment on the construction site was, of course, at the same time, he also attacked how bad the decision-making of the Interim Executive Committee was, how insufficient the work was, and he didn't treat the engineering staff as human beings at all, and those who had something to do with the leader were promoted to management, and people who had nothing to do with him could only suffer on the front line, and how stupid the decision-making of the Interim Executive Committee was, what would happen if he changed himself, etc, just like the keyboard politicians in the old time and space attacking the government.

However, his description of the rural environment did frighten many people, such as Wang Chi and Zhu Nanzhen, who did not work on the front line of the site, and did not dare to sign up for the construction of the project easily.

However, at the second meeting, the Interim Executive Committee made a resolution that "engineering personnel and grassroots staff will be given priority to get promotion opportunities" to encourage the traversers to work at the grassroots level, which also made many traversers see hope and signed up one after another, leaving the Ro-Ro passenger ship to participate in new jobs in Tianjin.

I saw that more and more people around me went to Tianjin to participate in projects or grassroots work in rural areas. It made Wang Chi and Zhu Nanzhen a little tempted, after all, it has been almost two months since the crossing, and nothing has been accomplished, and it is really shameless to be a traverser. Because the ro-ro passenger ship Qingshan Island was mothballed today, they also realized that time waits for no one, and if they don't work hard, they will be left behind by others. The two of them don't do the first batch of dicks after the crossing in history.

Wang Chi said: "It shouldn't be so scary, isn't it that so many people have already participated in the work, since others can adapt, then we can also adapt." ”

Zhu Nanzhen also nodded and said, "Yes, I also think you are too mysterious?"

Zhao Rui said: "I don't know what others think, anyway, I told you the actual situation, if you don't believe it, you can go to the countryside and try it." I don't want to go. ”

Zhu Nanzhen said: "Actually, I think we should give it a try, if it is really not a place where people have lived, we can come back again! Moreover, the Provisional Executive Committee has already made a decision, and the engineering personnel and grassroots workers will be given priority to get the opportunity for promotion! We can't wait any longer." ”

Zhao Rui poured a few more sips of beer and sneered: "Do you also believe the government's words?"

Wang Chi said: "Is there anything wrong with the government's words? I think this is very good." ”

Zhao Rui said: "You see if the staff and crew of the Qingshan Island have gone to work at the grassroots level, but they went directly to work at the Tianjin Lishunde Hotel." ”

Zhu Nanzhen said: "That's not right, after all, the staff of the Qingshan Island are all professionals in the catering industry? Therefore, they can go directly to work at the Li Shunde Hotel, and there is nothing wrong with that." ”

Wang Chi also said: "Yes, if I want to have the level of Tang Gong and Liu Gong, I can also be a management now, or a military enthusiast like Huang Zhe can also be specially recruited into the army, but unfortunately we don't have any professional skills that can be used, so we can only start from the grassroots level." ”

Zhao Rui shook his head and said, " Your idea is too naïve, three ro-ro passenger ships, why only seal the Qingshan Island, instead of the other two, there are also professionals on those two ships, I heard, it turned out that Yang Yuxin, the manager of the Qingshan Island, and Xu Jichao in the Fifth Standing Committee had a relationship, he sealed the excess tobacco and alcohol on the Qingshan Island, gave gifts to Tianjin, and opened up the joints, so that he obtained the position of the general manager of the Li Shunde Hotel, and I also heard a lot on the construction site, most of the management layers of the project are on it, It is related, what gives priority to the promotion of grassroots personnel, but it is just to coax those of us who have no way out, and let us work hard for them. ”

Zhu Nanzhen said: "True and fake, I have also seen someone say this on the forum." ”

Zhao Rui said: "Of course it's true, isn't this how China in the old time and space? There is no way, no relationship, do you want to get ahead? Now the five standing committee members of the Provisional Executive Committee, as well as the executive members, are not the national cadres in the old time and space, they can get better in this era." ”

Wang Chi shook his head and said: "I don't agree with your statement, in the old time and space, state-owned enterprises may be what you said, but in private enterprises, they still have to rely on ability, so as long as they are capable people, they will still have a chance to get ahead." ”

Zhao Rui said: "But do we have a private company now?"

At this time, Gao Senhang, who had just heard them talking, said: "Speaking of which, I think that the Provisional Executive Committee is an illegal institution at all, but it is the product of the private decisions of the military and a few government officials in the old time and space, they have not consulted all of us time-travelers, and cannot represent the public opinion of the time-travelers, you must know that the cross-border group is the private property of all our time-travelers, not a few of them." It should be elected by all traversers on a one-person-one-vote basis, and everyone has the right to run. ”

Seeing that Gao Senhang was pointing the finger at the Interim Executive Committee, Zhao Rui felt that he had a big appetite for himself, and slammed the beer bottle on the table, saying, "Yes, that's it." ”

Wang Chi frowned and said, "Isn't this an extraordinary period? In such an extraordinary period, we can only ......."

Gao Senhang shook his head, interrupted him, and said: "These are just excuses, in the old time and space, Chinese mainland was a dictatorial and autocratic government, and it always used the national conditions as an excuse to insist on democratic reform, so it is impossible to establish a democratic system by relying on military personnel and government officials in the old time and space." Now the Provisional Executive Committee is completely a dictatorship of a few people, and their decision is voted on, and it is completely a decision of a few people, which is a very dangerous start. ”

Zhao Rui nodded again and again, and said: "That's right, we should implement a democratic system, and only under the democratic system, people like us who have no relationship and no way can come out." ”

Wang Chi and Zhu Nanzhen glanced at each other, and in the old time and space, the two of them also participated in democracy and independence, freedom and autocracy on the Internet, and they were quite dissatisfied with Wanwan's argument that democracy is omnipotent and democracy is superior, but now they are too lazy to argue with Zhao Rui and Gao Senhang.
