"Mayor Ye, this is the speech of the municipal consultation meeting in the evening, and the later appointments have been pushed off for you."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the spacious office, only the modern black leather sofa by the window and the smooth mahogany coffee table are eye-catching, and the rest of the furnishings are no different from those of grassroots civil servants, with two-meter-wide desks and leather swivel chairs that occupy a wall of bookshelves.

Contrary to the common understanding of citizens, the municipal system of Qiantang City is relatively weak, especially at the moment of frequent crises, in order to simplify the chain of command, most departments such as the public security bureau and the fire department make decisions on the spot, and the mayor is more responsible for people's livelihood issues and urban development and maintenance work outside the spotlight.

Outside the window, it gradually sank into darkness, leaving only the crimson sunset to illuminate the world weakly.

The sleepy fluorescent lamps flickered, and Mayor Ye, whose temples were gray, looked at a photo standing on the table, a woman in a rose-colored jacket holding a selfie stick and smiling, and the edge of the photo was covered by layers of white foam on the tail of the cruise ship.

Mayor Ye's wife died three years ago, and his daughter, who was studying business administration at Zhijiang University, also died a month after the cause of death was a fire.

Putting aside the speech, the man in the suit who brought the Americano combed his neat and shiny hair.

The man used the newly bought capsule machine to brew it next door, and the coffee was full of mellow aroma for a while.

However, because of the confusion of memory, the mayor mistook the person who made the coffee.

"Xiao Liu, just put it here."

"I'm Xiao Yang."

"Confused again, look at my memory." Mayor Ye raised his head and smiled, and deep wrinkles suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.

Xiao Liu, who has been with him for five years, was hospitalized half a month ago due to serious injuries in a car accident.

Mayor Ye also did not have the habit of drinking coffee, just because the busy days and evening meetings were related to municipal maintenance and a large number of aftermath work for the deceased.

"Executives from several tech companies have also made appointments," Mr. Yang added, "and will be there in the evening." ”

"I didn't expect you to be so efficient." The mayor took a sip of his coffee and nodded, "Well, I didn't expect your coffee to be so delicious." ”

The mayor smiled, and Xiao Yang laughed too.

"I've worked in a few of them before, and I have some popularity."

Xiao Yang opened the signed document on the corner of the table, and folded it under his arm after confirming it page by page at the signing place.

Knock knock. There was a knock on the door in the distance.

"Please come in." Mayor Ye said.

Wen Cheng pushed open the door and tilted his head suspiciously, looking around in the mayor's office, which was less than twenty square meters. It was as if they were looking for something, but there were no globes, gold statues, calligraphy and paintings on the walls, floors, coffee tables, sofas, or desks.

Strange, this is the mayor's office?

"Come, Kotani." Mayor Ye stood up across the desk and waved, and nodded to Secretary Yang.

Secretary Yang understood and left with the papers.

"First meeting, Xiao Gu, ah......" Mayor Ye walked around the desk and walked in front of Wen Cheng, about to stretch out his hand.

"Mayor Ye, please cancel tonight's meeting no matter what!"

The young man's serious face made people nervous all of a sudden.

The mayor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and looked at the boy.

"It's a lot more complicated than you think." Wen Cheng couldn't wait to add, "On the one hand, there are assassination activities against you, and on the other hand, the offensive operation against Dongxing Pharmaceutical also needs manpower, and it is very dangerous to open two fronts at the same time. ”

The mayor has a lot of information, but he doesn't have time to know exactly what happened last night, at least the briefing sent by Xiao Yang shows that the zombie problem is under control.

Being able to meet with the busy business bigwigs tonight is a rare opportunity for Mayor Ye.

Mayor Ye looked at the wall clock, patted Wen Cheng's shoulder to let him relax, then took him to the couch and sat down, personally brewed two cups of Longjing for the brother and sister, and then sat on the single sofa on Wen Cheng's right hand with a coffee cup and pointed to Xiaozhu, "Who is this?" ”

"My sister is also the daughter of Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Gong."

Xiaozhu stood up and clasped his fists in salute.

The mayor had just taken a sip of coffee, but fortunately it didn't squirt, and coughed twice with an embarrassed face.

Wen Cheng was also dumbfounded, he knew that he only said that he was his sister.

"In terms of rank, your father should be the Minister of Defense." The mayor waved his hand and motioned for Xiaozhu to sit down.

This joke is too big, Wen Cheng swallowed his saliva.

"Don't dare, I'm just an ordinary soldier below." The small bamboo is reserved on the head.

The mayor wanted to ease the atmosphere before he could talk about things, and when he saw that the brothers and sisters looked serious, he had to get straight to the point.

Wen Cheng's breath is still very short, the mayor wants us to protect them for a meeting?

"Xiaogu, this meeting is very rare, the current municipal funds are insufficient, and the cleaning of ground facilities has become difficult, and the meeting just invited business people to donate and subscribe to municipal bonds." The mayor leaned forward and looked at Wen Cheng in a humble sitting position.

It seems to have something to do with the meeting.

Wen Cheng leaned forward and approached the mayor not far from the mayor and asked, "Municipal bonds?" The bank is there......"

The mayor smiled tolerantly, and when he noticed that the child was not very familiar with municipal operations, he explained, "The bank already has a lot of municipal debt, and they are slow to formalize, and the head office cannot be contacted." ”

Can't get in touch with the head office?! The brother and sister straightened up and looked at each other and nodded.

The mayor looked out the window and said, "Although the impact of this meeting is small, but the people who are all in the city are in attendance, and it is difficult to get together." ”

"Who are they?"

The mayor got up and went to his desk to get a piece of paper and landed it on the coffee table in front of Wen Cheng.

Wen Cheng picked up the paper, glanced down line by line, and took a sharp breath.

Zhou Hong, Chairman and CEO of Gugou Company. Impressively listed!

Wen Cheng inadvertently crumpled the corner of the paper. Is he also on the assassination list?

It's okay to take this opportunity to dig up the truth!

But I always feel too tired.

"Xiaotani, why do you think the enemy picked tonight?"

The mayor looked at Moon Cheng with expectant eyes.

"I think tonight can be described as the enemy's precise hunting of the city's high-ranking people." Wen Cheng put down the paper and said, "There is no doubt that it is a decisive battle." ”

"Since it's a decisive battle, we shouldn't back down, should we?" The mayor reached out to smooth the wrinkles in the paper.

Wen Cheng bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and the mayor waited for his conclusion.

Since it is a decisive battle, we should not back down.

Wen Cheng nodded.

Well, there are two fronts, but ......

"Mayor Ye, if the meeting needs our protection, then the other side ......"

"No," the mayor patted the back of Wen Cheng's clenched hand, "I hope you can hold the subway station at night, where there are more people." ”

A subway station? Protecting civilians?

"I beg your pardon for refusing." Wen Cheng stood up.

"Refuse?" The mayor looked up at the boy with a look of confusion on his face.

"It's going to be complicated tonight, I have my plan, and it's already been decided, in fact, I'm here to ask the mayor for some help, is the mayor willing to listen?"

The mayor had a look of tears and laughter.

Okay, now, the city bureau sent three detachments to defend the venue, but there are still some concerns in the face of zombies, and I originally hoped that the Shinnogumi would guard the subway station to ensure the safety of civilians, but now the teenager didn't agree and asked me for something.

He looked at the Timex three-eyed quartz watch given by his daughter on his wrist, looked up and said, "No, if you need any help, you can just say it." ”

Wen Cheng blushed slightly, but he didn't hesitate to gush, "Mayor Ye, I have my own way to ensure the successful conclusion of your meeting, but can you give me an assistant after the matter is completed?" Counted in municipal expenses. ”

It took Mayor Ye ten seconds to digest this sentence, and he nodded slowly, revealing a hint of hesitation.

Is this high school student so sure?

Seeing this, Wen Cheng added, "The problem of zombies is not big, we have heroic spirits who restrain black magic, and we also have light magic to spare, the key is the sniper, IMHO, this kind of physical attack is the most threatening." ”

The mayor got up and patted Wen Cheng, leading him to the glass curtain wall like floor-to-ceiling windows. The mayor's office faces south, but if you look to the left, you can still get a glimpse of the Civic Square across the river to the east.

"Tell me, kid, what do you need?"

The two looked out the window side by side.

This is a fact that is too late to be surprised.

The enemy is not in the suburbs or deep in the mountains, but is hiding under the nose of the city government.

The darkness of dusk and night shines through the window, and the figure of the boy is reflected in the cold eyes.

Looking at his own expression reflected in the window, Moon Seung calmly accepted this fact.

Tonight is the decisive battle.

So......

"Please give me access to the roof of the Civic Center."
