Life is so magical, the same events, the same people, the same places, often because of certain circumstances change dramatically. For example, it is still the ferry boat where Du Ping and Miyako last went back and forth, and it is still the ferry port where Du Ping and Miyako got off the boat last time.

The last time I came and when I went back, because Du Ping's identity was unknown, he came and went so silently. It seems that it is no different from ordinary passengers. And this time, because Du Ping came with great fame and reputation, not only did the Kuroda Industrial Park and the town government send representatives to the ferry port on the other side of the island early to welcome Du Ping Miyako, but as soon as he left the ferry, Du Ping was greeted by a local welcome team with gongs and drums, and of course, countless reporters with big guns and small cannons were also indispensable.

A drum team composed of local people performed a harvest dance with a strong local folk style, and then a group of cute and happy elve-like elementary school students came to Du and Mimiko to lay flowers and hang colorful ribbons around their necks to represent the most distinguished guests.

After receiving a kiss from the local elementary school students with flowers, streamers, and cheeks, Mayor Ogata, who was a little fatter and more energetic than the last time he had met, approached. After a warm hug that you simply did not allow you to refuse, Mayor Germanium stood on the surface of a group of reporters and introduced unceremoniously.

Mayor Ogata, "This is our great benefactor of Ledo, Mr. Du, Mr. Du! It is he who has used his serious, responsible, scientific, and truthful research attitude to help Ledo sweep away in one fell swoop the shadow that has shrouded our Ledo for many years, so that we can really stride forward with a smile on our faces, stride forward, and stride forward without any burden, and move toward happiness, health, prosperity, and beauty! We, the people of Ledo, are pursuing a happier life, and we also have the right to pursue a happy life......

I haven't seen him for nearly a year, and the quality of a mature politician is becoming more and more obvious, and he talks eloquently beside him for more than half an hour without a trace of jamming and repetition. In this speech welcoming Du Pingping, he affirmed Du Pingping's great contribution to the people of Ledo, affirmed the recent rapid development and achievements of Leban, and said that Du Pingping is a great friend of the people of Leon now, will and will always be. In the end, if it weren't for the news reporter, he still wanted to listen to Du Pingping's speech, and it is estimated that he alone could contract all the speeches made at today's ferry news scene.

Du's statement does not need to be as exaggerated as that of Yoshihiro Ogata. As long as you admit your achievements, be humble about your shortcomings, and talk about your deep feelings for Lo and the people of Lo Island.

Mr. To's speech was certainly not as gifted and passionate as Yoshihiro Ogata's, but it still received unanimous and friendly applause from local residents and reporters on the spot.

…………………………

After the welcoming ceremony at the ferry, Du Ping, Miyako and their entourage took the car and went straight to Kuroda Industrial Park, their main destination this time. Last time, Du Ping and Miyako came to the entire industrial park and could go around casually, but this time it was different. They are only allowed to move around in hotels outside the industrial park. This is also the general criterion for the vast majority of people who come here to visit, inspect the teams and organizations. Unlike them, Du was warmly received by the Kuroda Industrial Park here.

It was also flowers, applause and beautiful women offering flowers, and Haruo Koishikawa led the high-level team of his own industrial park to warmly welcome Du Fair and his party here: Du Fair, Miyako, Kazuko, and several members of the Imperial Du Fair Research Group. According to the academic exchange plan, in this hotel, over the next three days, the Doh Pyong-pong Project will conduct investigations, research and discussions with research groups and institutions from several domestic and foreign universities on the situation one year after the report of the incident in the Kuroda Industrial Park on Ledo. This is an event jointly planned and initiated by the Kuroda Group and Imperial University. In fact, Du Pingping can only be regarded as an actor, but he is just one of the leading actors.

Naturally, the assistant members brought by Du Ping were in charge of the meeting, and Du Ping and Miyako were directly taken by Haruo Koishikawa to the room belonging to Haruo Koishikawa on the upper floor of the hotel. This is a hospitality hotel belonging to the Kuroda Group and Kuroda Industrial Park, and Haruo Koishikawa has basically been at home in this room of this hotel for a long time.

When you arrive at this room, you will feel like you have entered a relaxed and private environment. Haruo Koishikawa invited Du Ping and Miyako to sit on the sofa casually, turned on his favorite light music, and then returned to the sofa with a few square wine glasses and a bottle of golden-colored foreign wine.

Haruo Koishikawa first half-filled himself with a wine glass, and then looked at Du Ping and Miyako, "Have a glass? Authentic ale imported from the Soviet Union, although it is not famous, but a junior of mine specially sent it from there." It tasted very good!"

Du Ping was shaking her head, but Miyako was smiling and nodding, and then Haruo Koishikawa unceremoniously poured half a glass for each of them. Then, as if he was a brother, he was not half polite, and gave himself a sip first.

Haruo Koishikawa, "We haven't seen each other for almost a year, have we?"

Du Ping nodded. Since the last time the two separated from here, although they usually have phone calls and letters, it has indeed been almost a year since they saw each other.

Haruo Koishikawa, "I didn't expect you to change so much! Now you are a famous scholar in my country, right?"

Du Ping was ashamed, "It's still far away!"

Haruo Koishikawa shook his head, indicating that he did not approve of it that way.

Haruo Koishikawa said bluntly, "You are now called a breakthrough! Although the objective conditions are still somewhat insufficient, after surviving this period of time, the academic circles, society, and the public have all recognized that you are the kind of high-ranking expert and scholar-level figure. It's the same this time, you carry a bridge for others, and someone else carries a bridge for you, saying what kind of academic exchange it is, but in fact, it is just some mutual blowing platform. Although it is a mutual blowing platform, there is a big difference between having a platform and not having a platform. With a platform and a powerful platform, you are getting more and more popular. There is no platform, the platform is not powerful, you have the ability and achievements, but you can only nest moldy......"

Haruo Koishikawa's theory is actually somewhat similar to Miyako's theory. Du's theories, ideas and assumptions do not mean that others have never had similar and identical guesses and ideas. However, due to the support of the Kuroda Group, Du Pingping's report was confirmed to be valid and scientific with irrefutable factual evidence. And even if others have these ideas and assumptions, who will use tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars worth of industrial parks to do social science experiments for him? Therefore, Du Pingping's success in this regard is actually more lucky. Then the Kuroda Group didn't want to make wedding dresses for others, so they gave it to the young Du Pingping.

Du Ping was ashamed, "I'm just luckier than others!"

Haruo Koishikawa drank the wine in one gulp, "It's also a skill to have better luck than others!"

……

…………………………

Everyone will have their own ideas and ambitions. Du Pingping's visit to the Ledo Industrial Park for academic exchanges has its own benefits for Du Pingping, the Imperial University, and the Kuroda Group, but it is obvious that Yoshihiro Ogata, who has always had a political sense, does not want to take this opportunity away. So now the whole of Leshima is also very strong in publicizing the arrival of Du Ping and this academic conference.

In the words of Yoshihiro Ogata in the promotional materials, this not only means that Leshima is constantly leaping and flying economically and soaring, but also rapidly developing in science and culture.

Yoshihiro Ogata will not pay for the publicity, greeting and other related activities in the course of the academic symposium of experts and scholars such as Du Ping, and it is necessary to use Yoshihiro Ogata's own campaign treasury, but Yoshihiro Ogata still has no hesitation in publicizing it, and is not afraid of investment failure and fruitlessness. He concentrated all his forces and groups to carry out extensive and intense propaganda. So for a time, the entire main streets and alleys of the island were covered with Ogata Yoshihiro's propaganda color pages and posters. The people also seem to be living in the kind of happiness that Yoshihiro Ogata propagated is confident in the economy, environment, life, and civilization.

At a time when the ordinary people of Ledo are now dressed up and approaching the metropolises of Jingluo and Zangma, a man with black thick skin who is still wearing the coarse cloth fishing clothes that used to be common among the people of Ledo, and whose skin is destroyed by the sea breeze and sun, took over the propaganda poster of a propaganda girl who passed by to carry out political propaganda.

Propaganda Xiaomei waved her arms at the man with that infectious smile, "Let us cheer and cheer for Li Island together!"

The man glanced at the poster, left with a cold face, and completely ignored the words of the propaganda girl beside him. The propaganda little sister was slightly stunned for a moment, but soon greeted a new passerby. But where she didn't pay attention, the man who was obviously a local fisherman stopped at the street corner. Turning his head to look here, at the streets of this already somewhat urban area and at the eyes of the people with contempt.

…………………………

At the dinner at the hotel, after Du Ping met and communicated with several domestic and foreign expert teams, Haruo Koishikawa pulled Du Ping out of the hotel. Finally, we arrived at a humble local restaurant, the kind of restaurant behind a U-shaped counter, where a proprietress would take care of the cook, waiter, and cashier.

The proprietress is very young, very beautiful, and looks like Haruo Koishikawa has a good relationship, and as soon as Haruo Koishikawa enters the door, he doesn't ask Haruo Koishikawa what he wants, and has already begun to prepare meals for Koishikawa carefully. However, there are some things that Haruo Koishikawa may not have expected, that is, the mayor of the town, Yoshihiro Ogata, who was not supposed to be here, was here early, and when Harushi Koishikawa and Du Ping sat down, they immediately sat down next to the two.

Yoshihiro Ogata, "Thank you so much! Thank you for your dedication to the people of Lekudo. ”

As soon as Yoshihiro Ogata came up, he gave Du Fair a deep bow.

Haruo Koishikawa and this Yoshihiro Ogata also seemed to be very familiar, although he was surprised that Yoshihiro Ogata would be here at this time, but immediately after that, he got up casually.

Haruo Koishikawa picked up the sake that the proprietress had gently poured for him, "Our mayor Ogata has been proud lately! I heard that the opinion poll of the townspeople shows that the mayor of Ogata has a 90% approval rating! If we can stabilize this time, the mayor of Ogata will be a strong candidate for the next prefectural mayoral election!"

Yoshihiro Ogata modestly said, "I owe a lot of gratitude to Mr. Toi and the strong support of General Manager Koishikawa, Kuroda and other companies! I believe that in the next three years, Lekushima will usher in a historic, ultra-high-speed development that will be of great help to the townspeople." The perfect handling of the Kuroda Industrial Park incident has not only dispelled the terrible rumors that have framed Ledo in one fell swoop, but also the implementation of measures such as the change of leave and new management has brought huge markets and benefits to Ledo's catering, service, hotels, and other industries......"

As soon as Yoshihiro Ogata saw it, he entered the rhythm of his campaign speech again, and the high-pitched talk involuntarily continued to be released. Du Ping and Haruo Koishikawa looked at each other and smiled, but did not interrupt, just glanced at each other, and then drank a glass of wine. The proprietress next to her also filled the two of them with wine again in a timely and warm manner.

After a few minutes, Yoshihiro Ogata slowly stopped, "Excuse me! Am I off topic?"

Du Fair smiled and shook his head, "No! This is the Mayor Ogata I remember, still so enthusiastic, focused, and sincere." ”

Yoshihiro Ogata, "Thank you! Mr. Fair is a benefactor of Ledo, since he is here this time, he must stay for two more days! There must be a chance for us Ledo townspeople to express their gratitude and enthusiasm!"

The proprietress also took a small glass at this time, poured herself a drink, and toasted Du Ping across the kitchen table.

The hostess, "Mr. Fair, can I also toast you, and your contribution to the use of Koh Le, as a person who grew up in Koh Le, I admire it very, very much!"

…………………………

In another part of the island, in an ordinary courtyard of a fisherman's village, there are several people gathering in the courtyard wall made of horizontal and vertical wooden planks, and in countless cracks, you can clearly see several people gathering inside. Suddenly, the courtyard door opened from the outside, and several people inside looked at the open courtyard gate like falcons. Seeing that it was a man in an old cloth robe, everyone turned around one by one. The person who came was none other than Yoshihiro Ogata's original contender for mayor of the town, the fisherman Takeshi Wakamatsu.

After Ruomatsu came in, after looking around, his voice was cold, "There are fewer people?"

One person replied, "Yes, Hajiro's people don't look like they're going to come." ”

Another one, "Boss, I heard that little detective Du Ping is here again!"

A piece of propaganda paper was put in front of everyone, and it was taken by Wakamatsu Takeshi.

Wakamatsu, "Yes, he's here! Now he's not just a detective, but he seems to be some kind of famous scholar." Now it is said that a group of experts and scholars at home and abroad are going to hold academic exchange conferences here. ”

A puzzled voice, "What is an academic exchange meeting?"

A voice replied on Wakamatsu's behalf, "It must prove that the serial suicide incident is not a curse of the gods, but a scientific incident." ”

An angry voice, "That's the curse of the gods, the wrath of the gods!"

The first voice to speak, "Hajiro, they also seem to believe that this is not some kind of curse of the gods, and the gods are angry......"

This angry voice suddenly stopped, "This is the curse of the gods, the wrath of the gods!

……

Seeing that his traditional supporters were now arguing, Wakamatsu didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to stop it. In fact, since Du Ping's visit to Leshima and after the reform of the Rakushima Industrial Park according to Du Pingping's suggestion, Wakamatsu Takeshi and his faction have been completely suppressed by Ogata Yoshihiro. The gods and spirits incident was resolved, and the hearts of the people in the industrial park and the local people in Li Island were also stabilized. The new management system implemented by the new general manager Haruo Koishikawa encouraged the employees of the industrial park to consume and interact with each other locally, so the local economy developed rapidly, and the connection with the Kuroda Industrial Park became more and more close. Many of the local residents of Ledo now live on the surrounding economy generated by the industrial park, so the number of people supporting Wakamatsu's side is decreasing. Due to the good income, low risk and low hardship of providing the surrounding economic park for the industrial park, the number of people willing to engage in the traditional fishing industry in Lei Island is now decreasing. Many fishing boats that have been cherished by fishermen all their lives are now just set up in the dock and in tatters. In this situation, Wakamatsu Takeshi, who has always cherished and loved traditions, has nothing to do.

Wakamatsu's supporters have also worked tirelessly to achieve this. But these guys who originally made a living from fishing didn't have a few brains at all. A few guys saw that there were no more spiritual incidents in the industrial park, so they planned to make a haunting and create an incident. They began to pretend to be ghosts to scare elementary school students and passers-by, but after doing so several times, there was no reaction from society, and there was no relevant report from the media and newspapers. I didn't know what I thought, but in the end I thought of scaring the police, thinking that the police were frightened, and that the matter must be in the newspaper and cause a shock on the island.

The police were frightened by them, but soon after, the police chief came with his subordinates and took them to the police station and locked them up for disturbing public order. It turned out that people had long known that it was a few of them who were doing the ghosts, but they just didn't want to pay attention to them, but they didn't expect that they would even have to do it with the police later, so they dealt with it. At the same time, he also sent someone Ruomatsu Wu to pass on a word, which was actually a warning, telling him to take care of his subordinates.

The purpose of Yoshihiro Ogata this time, Takeshi Wakamatsu, who is Yoshihiro Ogata's opponent, certainly understands it very well. Because Yoshihiro Ogata is no longer satisfied with just being the mayor of the town of Rijima. Yoshihiro Ogata already wants to be a prefectural magistrate, so he is constantly improving his reputation and reputation. We are working towards the prefectural gubernatorial election in two years' time. And if Yoshihiro Ogata does have the support of the broad masses of the people of Lekudo, and the total economic output of the island accounts for a considerable proportion of the entire prefecture. Two years later, he only has the support of some forces and consortia, so he has a very high hope of being promoted to the county magistrate!

Inadvertently, is the gap between Yoshihiro Ogata and himself already so big? And a few years ago, when Yoshihiro Ogata and Takeshi Wakamatsu were competing to become members of parliament at the same time, Yoshihiro Ogata seemed to Wakamatsu to be just a newcomer at the level of wild vegetables.
