Chapter 356: Sandbag [2]
Dover hadn't seen Igor, and if he had known that the guy who had harassed him at the station was Igor, he might have been driving the other man's car back to Otis by now. After a little hesitation, Dover accepted Igor's invitation, and after the two returned to Igor's office and sat down, the other poured him a cup of tea.
At this time, Dover was still thinking about how to get Igor out quietly. After all, the other party is the director of the telegraph office, and if there is any movement, it will definitely not be a trivial matter. Not only will the local city hall investigate the matter, but the local gangs will also get involved. The official investigation of Dufo is not worried, those fools do not know anything other than know how to follow the rules, and they do not understand anything.
He was worried about the gangs, and as a former member of them, he knew how "terrible" they were. Maybe an inconspicuous homeless man on the side of the road, or an old man who looks like he's resting, could be one of their eyeliner. When they were in Turnier, if it weren't for the fact that Camille grabbed his pigtails through a homeless man, it would have been impossible to catch them off guard.
Although the incident was finally resolved with Kevin's efforts and the homeless man's mistaken confession, it was enough to make everyone wake up, and in every corner of the city, there was a pair of eyes watching and watching the city.
The sound of the coffee tray touching the coffee table brought him back to his senses, and he leaned forward slightly, said thank you, and leaned back against the back of the couch.
Igor stood across from him, coffee cup in hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said what he wanted.
The first time he encountered such a thing, Du Buddha felt a little fresh, and at the same time a little disgusting, he pretended to be very interested, and after discussing the details, he got up and said goodbye. They agreed to have dinner together at Igor's house in the evening.
After leaving the telegraph office, Dover went to contact the two contractors that Natalie had contacted, and they were very nice, not only did Dover treat him properly, but even planned to take him out for fun. Having declined their kindness, Dover invited them to send a representative to the city of Otis for a field trip before making a conclusion. Because the current Otis is changing every day, these people's old ideas about Otis can no longer keep up with the real situation.
In such a situation, they also quote on the basis of old memories of the city of Otis, which is unfair and irresponsible to them and to the town hall of Otis. The two contractors immediately agreed, saying that they would immediately send someone to the city of Otis for a field visit, and finally contact the Otis City Hall directly.
After contacting the two contractors separately, the sky gradually darkened, and after declining the kind invitation of one of them, Dover found his home at the time agreed between him and Igor.
His home lives in the western part of Nam Linders, which is also the upper town. This area is close to the main stream of the Xiudorn River, and in order to improve the layout of the urban environment, real estate developers and the local town hall dug an artificial lake next to Xicheng District and introduced water from the Xiudorn River into this artificial lake. So Xicheng became the Upper Town, and although there were no mountains to rely on, the whole city was surrounded by Linders Lake, and the people who lived here were either rich or noble.
There is at least 20 meters between each house, and each house has a small yard, between an ordinary house and a villa. Before knocking on the door, Doufo saw Igor's neighbor, an old man who appeared to be about sixty years old. He coughed vigorously, but the old man was indifferent, and he looked at the dark window again, and then straightened his bow tie, held a bottle of fruit wine, and knocked on Igor's door.
It was his wife, a very gentle woman, with a very kind smile, not old, and she looked to be thirty-five or sixteen years old. She kindly took a pair of slippers for Dover, pointed out the closet for him, and thanked him as she took the wine he had brought.
Dover looked at the house, the decoration in the house was not bad, a little worse than luxury, but definitely not low-grade. The absence of children frolicking in the room reassured him a little, and Igor greeted him in his home clothes and led him into the living room.
There was a television in the living room, a term he had learned from Durin, and it was playing a show from the "Imperial Star Media Company", which had two episodes a month. This issue should be the latest, because I haven't seen any of the content in it, and there is no place to sell TVs in that ghost place of Otis. He saw two men in suits pointing at each other's noses and insulting each other.
Before Durin left Ilian, he was contacted not only by the New Party, but also by members of the Old Party, who wanted to be on his program and promote themselves and their political ideas to the middle class and the top of society throughout the empire. Duhrin naturally agreed to their request, but in order to increase the hot spot, with the approval of both sides, the new party and the old party were put together.
The effect of the show was indeed as Dührin had hoped, and the two sides only calmed down for a while before they began to abuse each other, attacking each other's governing ideas and political aspirations, as well as attacking the other's party program. Although the show is a bit chaotic, I have to say that people like to watch this thing, maybe the reason why they like to watch it is not because of the abuse or even fighting between the two sides, but because people find that the so-called politicians are not much different from themselves.
Igor sat on the sofa, very relaxed, holding a muffin in his hand, which he had bitten into, pointing to the old party members on TV and saying: "These people are full of the old ideas of the past, and they even want to artificially create an 'elite class' for the current society, so as to divide the confused class concepts in society, which is simply a kind of retrogression of the times!"
It was clear that Igor was very much against this idea, but what he didn't know was that the middle class and the upper class people who were watching the show like him didn't think it was completely wrong, and some, and quite a few people, thought it was a good idea.
This is the real mainstream voice, as the main contributor to society and the elite who support all aspects of society, as the largest group of vested interests in the empire, there will always be some people who will have a sense of "superiority". This idea put forward by this politician of the old party on television precisely satisfies the spiritual needs of these people, who want to be different from the average person.
Dover watched the television for a long time, some of these programs on duct tape, some of them on the spot, and he learned a little bit about these things. He just smiled at Igor's statement, thought for a moment and replied, "If it weren't for this need, he wouldn't have come up with this idea." ”
This is what Doolin told him that the buyer's market, the politicians, the people, and the political arena, is no different from the market. When the market needs something, the merchants will take the initiative to sell it, and when there is such a demand in society, these politicians will peddle these ideas that conform to a certain group of people, pull the votes of these people, and turn them into supporters of their own party.
Igor glanced at Du Buddha with some surprise, and being able to say such things means that the other party also has a certain understanding of politics. He was just surprised and didn't refute anything, and soon the current affairs program became a sitcom with, pee and fart.
In this era of severe lack of home entertainment, this kind of sitcom has instead become the motivation for most people to buy duct tape. In a previous return survey, 63 percent of buyers thought it would be better to have a separate roll of tape every week, all for which they would play a sitcom, and they were willing to pay an extra 100 dollars a month for it. It is said that Durin has agreed, and Frena's side is preparing for this.
After a minute or two of a slightly embarrassing laugh, Igor laughed, shaking his head as he laughed, "This kind of thing can corrupt people's souls, do you believe it? If one day, you can see these things every day, I believe that many people don't even want to work, so they stay at home and watch them." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his wife poked her head out of the living room, "It's time to eat." ”
Igor breathed a sigh of relief, patted his legs and stood up, leading Dover into the dining room together, as if explaining, "The children have gone to my parents' side, and it's just the three of us tonight!"
After the three of them sat down, Igor didn't behave at all like he usually did, he was very humorous and considerate, and he was always able to make everyone laugh. If it weren't for hearing the other person say something like that, Du Buddha would have thought it was his hallucination.
People are always prone to drink too much when they are in a mood swing, and Igor replaced the fruit wine brought by Dover with his own collection of high wines, and all three of them were a little drunk. His wife, in particular, had drunk the most, her eyes were already a little stiff, and when she tried to stand up and add a little entrée to the house, she sat back down heavily, and fell unconscious on the table.
"Here, help me. Igor picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, beckoning to Dufo, "Help me get her to the bedroom!"
Dover wiped his mouth and hands as well, and together they added up Igor's wife, went upstairs, and threw her on the bed in the bedroom.
Igor also patted his wife on the cheek, making sure that she was completely drunk before he looked at Dover, calm as if nothing would happen, "Are you going to take a bath?"
Dover smiled and lowered his head, and Igor also looked down curiously to follow his gaze, and he saw a fist!
