I think it's paradise.

It's a legendary paradise.

Even at that time, my wish was that I wanted to be a worker when I grew up.

Or to be able to marry a worker.

What does Prince Charming look like?

Maybe it's just the blue labor cloth overalls.

But all of this has since faded.

Take the textile factory in our town, for example, and then the benefits became worse and worse.

Many workers had to go home.

Even those who are still working are often owed wages for many months, or even years.

And often these workers' families are all from the same factory.

So the efficiency of the factory is not good.

It's not just one person who has no job, it's the whole family.

So some workers went to the labor market and did odd jobs with migrant workers.

Some workers went to work in other places.

There are even female workers who have to sell their bodies in order to support their families......

Later, when I stepped into that family area again.

The once noisy family area has become deserted and lifeless.

Those who were left behind were the elderly and children.

The young ones have left their homes and gone out to wander.

It's nice to say it's a rampage.

In fact, they were all forced to wander around in order to earn a mouthful of food.

The staff school is closed.

The commissary is full of doors.

The staff hospital became a personal clinic specializing in breast augmentation.

The staff canteen was turned into a bun shop.

The door to the staff bath is gone.

The glass windows of the workers' barbershop are riddled with holes.

The staff basketball court was overgrown with weeds, and only a crooked hoop remained.

It is said that the other basket was taken away at night and sold scrap metal secretly.

There is a seal on the door of the staff cinema.

The poster on the outside that has been discolored by the wind and sun is still a movie from a few years ago.

As for the current working families who want to find a daughter-in-law, it is really difficult.

If the conditions are good, they can't look down on them.

The same factory, there is no hope.

Even those who want to find a rural area are the objects of dislike.

......

So at a very young age, I witnessed the prosperity and decay of the factory.

I witnessed the glory and decline of the worker's identity.

At the same time, I also witnessed the hardships of rural people, digging in the soil, and working tirelessly to earn a few dollars.

From then on, I knew that there was no future in being a farmer.

There is no future as a worker.

There is no such thing as an iron rice bowl.

I want to get a foothold in society, I want to live well.

You can't rely on the sky to eat.

You can't expect any iron rice bowl.

The only thing you can count on is yourself.

Only you are strong.

But how can a rural girl with no background make herself strong?

There is only one way to study.

So from that time on, I cherished the opportunity to study.

I hope to change my own destiny by reading books.

Then, the reality of life is like cold water poured on the head.

I dropped out of school first.

Then he fell into the upheaval of fate.

But I never gave up on the pursuit of knowledge.

......

Because seeing the textile factory in front of me reminded me of the textile factory in our hometown.

So for a while, it turned out to be a little distracted.

Until the person behind me pushed me.

I just came to my senses.

I came to the factory with the people around me.

To the south of the factory is a row of former dormitories.

It can be seen that the conditions of this factory are not as good as the previous textile factory in our town.

The most obvious example of this is that the dormitories here are not buildings, but rows of bungalows.

When we arrived, we were about to go in, but we saw Master Zhang and Sister Mei as the leaders.

He also led a group of people over.

There were very few people on their team.

There were only five of them.

In addition to the two of them, the other three people are Chen Dan, Yan Chuang, and Wen Shaonian!

I'm here for Wen Shaonian.

After a hundred turns.

Hardships.

Finally met him here!

I guess I was worried that the wind in the city was too tight, so I hid here, right?

So the two teams, which were originally scattered, gathered here.

My eyes were even a little moist.

I looked at Wen Shaonian greedily.

Want to see if he's hurt?

Have you been mistreated in any way?

Fortunately, although Wen Shaonian looked haggard, he also lost a lot of weight.

But it should be the reason why I just recovered from the injury before.

It didn't look like I was being bullied.

I was somewhat relieved.

Meanwhile.

It's like it's inductive.

Wen Shaonian also looked at me.

There was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

It must be strange, why did I come here?

He wanted to speak.

But I was afraid of the eyes of the people around me, and knew that this was not the place to say hello.

Shut his mouth again.

Chen Dan and Yan Chuang also saw me.

Yan Chuang is better.

Because he wasn't very impressed with me.

Maybe even forgot that I existed.

But Chen Dan has a deep impression of me.

She first looked at me viciously.

Then he looked at Wen Shaonian with a nervous face.

I found that Wen Shaonian didn't have any special reaction to me.

That's when I was relieved.

Then the group went into a room on the left.

At Brother Li's command, we entered the rest of the rooms.

Settle in temporarily.

After a tiring day, everyone was tired and hungry.

Sister Mei commanded people, and she didn't know where to move a cauldron.

Then in an old kitchen, the stove was cleaned out.

Start building a fire and start cooking.

Of course there won't be anything good to eat.

It is boiled noodles in clear water and sprinkled with a little salt.

There was no oil or water at all.

But everybody was exhausted.

Without waiting for a greeting, they gathered around and started eating.

Fortunately, this place should also be a secret stronghold of their gang.

There are still dishes and chopsticks.

It's just that the bowls are relatively small, not enough to divide.

Those who did not receive a bowl could only stand by the pot and eat it with chopsticks.

They all ate deliciously.

Even Sister Mei, Master Zhang, and Brother Li rarely eat with us.

It should all be people who are secretly eating small stoves, and they are also gobbling it up.

Thinking back to last night, it was an extraordinary night.

But Wen Shaonian didn't eat it.

Chen Dan served a bowl of noodles very attentively, but Wen Shaonian refused.

Chen Dan looked a little lost.

But he still followed Wen Shaonian inch by inch.

It's not just Wen Shaonian.

Sister Mei, Master Zhang and Yan Chuang have always paid most of their attention to Wen Shaonian.

They formed a small encirclement.

Prevent Wen Shaonian from coming into contact with other people.

Wen Shaonian is treated specially.

This is not surprising.

Because Chen Dan must know Wen Shaonian's family background.

can deceive Wen Shaonian.

This one person is worth hundreds of ordinary people.

It's not just the Wen family who is rich.

also because of the Wen family's connections and extensive social connections.

If Wen Shaonian really joined the Chuanxiao organization.

It is up to him to develop the downline.

Then these scammers will definitely make a fortune.

It's not a dream to earn a million a month.

......

After eating, Master Zhang held a temporary meeting in the open space.

This time, the number of people attending the meeting was relatively small, only about 20 people.

Far less powerful than the last time in the Workers' Club.

The rest of the attendees that day didn't show up here.

I guess it's still hidden somewhere else in the city, right?

Only our team and Wen Shaonian were in that community.

That's why I came out to avoid the limelight.

The purpose of this meeting of Master Zhang is, of course, to strengthen the morale of the army.

Because our team ran a Jinlan and fell down a little Guo.

It's no small blow to these scammers.

So they need to keep starting to flicker.

Prevent the next escape.

But although Master Zhang spoke on stage, he danced and foamed at the mouth.

The audience below generally did not have the momentum they had before.

All of them looked a little numb.

Even the applause was perfunctory.

To the later slogan link, it is even more uneven.

This is, of course, because everyone is tired.

I think it's also because of the impact of Xiao Guo's fall, right?

They may be thinking.

Since our cause is so great.

So why do they all look like they are fleeing?

Eat and sleep in the open.

Hungry and full.

Maybe it's better to flee.

More like a wanted criminal on the run.

Hide, sneaky.

It's hard not to have deep doubts about the future.

What are we here for?

Is there really a future here?

Are all these promises true?

If it's true, why would anyone run?

Or run without regard for your life?

......

Master Zhang also lost his meaning in the end.

So he waved his hand and asked everyone to go back and rest first.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Chen Dan already standing behind me.

Her face was not good.

Gesture to me with your eyes.

I followed Chen Dan to a corner in the distance where no one was around.

Don't wait for Chen Dan to speak.

I started to say, "Chen Dan, believe me, I really didn't come for you and Wen Shao, I didn't know you were here!"

This is a half-truth.

I really didn't know at first.

Later I knew.

Chen Dan's face looked a little better.

Apparently she also felt that I shouldn't know their whereabouts.

"Then what are you doing here?" Chen Dan asked me.

After I learned about this project, I also felt that there was no future for selling any more clothes, and I wanted to make more money. I said frankly.

Chen Dan's nose snorted: "The project is indeed a good project, but I really have some opinions on the recruitment model, can't you recruit everyone?"

Chen Dan expressed his contempt for me.

I've never been interested in competing with Chen Dan for the length of his tongue.

Naturally, what she says, I listen to.

How she enjoyed it.

So I listened honestly.

"Also, don't think anything wrong about Wen Shaonian!" Chen Dan warned me.

I said aggrievedly, "Don't you believe me until now? If I really had any thoughts about Wen Shaonian, would I have called you to the hospital in the first place?"

"Then I don't want to see you wandering around in front of me all day! I won't bother anyone when I see you! You better go, you are not welcome here!" she ordered me to be evicted.

I thought to myself.

Dan Chen.

You don't have to be ashamed!

Who do you think you are?

Are you the sun?

Everyone, including the earth, revolves around you?

I just don't want to have anything to do with Wen Shaonian anymore, so I swallow my anger in front of you.

Do you really think I'm afraid of you?

It's not blowing with you, you're like this, I'll hit ten by myself!

Are you really treating yourself as a dish?

So my attitude hardened.

"Chen Dan, if you ask me not to get close to Wen Shaonian, I can promise you. But you let me go, I'm sorry, I won't agree! This is my dream to get rich, and I won't allow anyone to stand in the way, whether it's you or anyone else!"

I'm absolutely sure.

Because that's what I'm talking about.

I'm not going anywhere until I get Wen Shaonian out of here.

If I want to help Jin Lan escape, I can use 100% of my efforts.

Then I can help Wen Shaonian leave, I can use two hundred, three hundred, or even one thousand percent of my efforts!

Don't say I'm a friend of color.

Because in my heart, Wen Shaonian is more important than myself!

My face changed like this.

Chen Dan also stood up.

I wanted to say a few more cruel words to me, but I didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Sister Mei walked over.

"What are you doing here?" asked Sister Mei.

Seeing Sister Mei coming, Chen Dan seemed to have found a savior.

Immediately shouted: "Sister Mei! You came just in time! I don't like this woman! Let her go! This woman is a small merchant and peddler who sells clothes, and she will not help us in any way here!

Sister Mei was stunned.

"You know?"

Chen Dan snorted: "I know, she is also worthy! I have just seen her, so I know her details! Qiao Huanxi, a woman who is not in the stream and cannot be on the stage!"

Sister Mei looked at me: "Qiao Huanxi, are you the one Ahi?"

I nodded, "Yes, I'm Ah Xi." ”

Sister Mei smiled: "It turns out that you are Ah Xi, I was looking for you." ”

Then Sister Mei looked at Chen Dan: "Chen Dan, this Ah Xi can't go, she is very important to us." ”

Chen Dan was stunned.

She doesn't understand what's important about me.

I was equally stunned.

I don't understand what matters to me.

Chen Dan had already shouted: "Sister Mei, are you not mistaken, what is important about this woman?"

Sister Mei looked at us and explained, "Chen Dan, you also saw that two traitors appeared one after another, so everyone's morale is not high now, and their mood is very low. Besides, I also learned about Ah Xi's situation from Xiao Li, who is very persistent, very firm, and enthusiastic, and never abandons our cause, even if the previous Jin Lan ran away and wanted to shout Ah Xi to go together, Ah Xi did not waver! This is very valuable! Although Ah Xi has no social relations, this trust and devotion to the cause is also very rare. Ah, now Sister Mei has given you a task, and you will be responsible for the psychological work of us as Master Zhang's assistant! Cheer them on, cheer them up, and cheer them up, are you willing?"

listened to Sister Mei's words.

I finally understood what she meant.

Originally, I really didn't have much use.

It's going to be disliked by the organization.

But now the organization has become eventful.

People's hearts fluctuate.

Relying on Master Zhang alone to fool around is already lacking in strength.

Everyone was a little numb to listening.

Therefore, a few more people need to cooperate in brainwashing together.

So I was recommended by Xiao Li?

It's really interesting to think about.

It's even magical.

I'm probably the most knowledgeable of these people about their liars.

The least believe them.

As a result, they are trusted by the organization.

I fooled a bunch of crooks.

Elect me to brainwash everyone?

The absurdity of the world is nothing more than that.

Thinking in my heart, my face showed a firm and unquestionable look: "Sister Mei, don't worry, I will resolutely do my job!

Sister Mei smiled and patted me on the shoulder.

"Yes, I am optimistic about you! I think you can train well in the future, join my management, and let us develop our great cause together." ”

I can feel that Sister Mei's words are sincere.

I really think I'm good.

It has the qualities of being a liar.

Can be absorbed into the core members.

In this way, they deceived this wave, when they took a shot to change places.

Can you take me with you?

Not only was I believed by the liars, but I was also seen by them as a promising material?

No, it should be said that there is a lot of material for deception?

Don't be so outrageous.

You think too highly of me.

I held back and didn't say anything.

I want to laugh.

Chen Dan wanted to cry.

Chen Dan was anxious: "Sister Mei, I don't agree! I hate this woman! In this way, if she is here, I will leave! If she wants me to stay, she will leave!"

Is this a threat to Chiguo?

I don't have to listen to Sister Mei's answer.

I knew that when Chen Dan said this, he must be slapping himself in the face.

......

Although I don't have much contact with Sister Mei.

But judging from her speech and demeanor, this must be a very strong, domineering, and vain woman.

She was covered with fake name tags, although it was for the purpose of deception, to decorate the faΓ§ade.

But it also has something to do with her own preferences.

Such a woman, who has a very high status in the crook group, how can she be willing to be led by the nose by others?

If Chen Dan said it well, Sister Mei might not turn her face.

Maybe give her some face.

But now Chen Dan is so anxious and white-faced.

and even began to blackmail negotiations.

That would only backfire and bring shame on oneself.

Sure enough, Sister Mei's face changed suddenly: "Chen Dan! Pay attention to your words! What kind of place should you be? I am your upline, you must respect me! The first thing our team should pay attention to is obedience! It is the concept of hierarchy, have you forgotten? You actually want to negotiate conditions with me? Do you have this qualification? Okay, since you have to let me make a choice, then I will tell you very clearly now, you go, we need Ah Xi more!"

Sister Mei didn't really hit Chen Dan in the face.

But Chen Dan's face was already red like pig's blood.

It's so embarrassing!

How arrogant she was when she humiliated me before.

Now that Sister Mei is pointing at her nose and slapping her face, how shameless she is.

Of course, she was worse than me.

Because I really don't care about her attitude towards me.

But she obviously cares about Sister Mei's attitude towards her.

People can only be hurt by the people they care about.

So Chen Dan was aggrieved.

Or even to collapse.

Her lips trembled: "Sister Mei...... You...... How can you do this to me!"

Sister Mei's face was cold: "What's wrong with me? I treat everyone equally!"

Chen Dan was already crying: "Sister Mei, I brought Wen Shaonian here! Just because of this, I have made a great contribution to the team! You can't treat me like this! If you let me go, Wen Shaonian will also leave with me!"

Sure enough, this woman regarded Wen Shaonian as her hole card and support.

Who knew that in exchange for Sister Mei's contemptuous smile.
