Chapter 14 The Well Known
ββThe office of a senior official in Yanzhouββ
"Lao Guo, you should think of a way, our family has not won the number, what can I do, I have contributed a lot to the economy of our state, and I can't leave us behind!"
Lao Guo said helplessly: "Mr. Liu, fair lottery, this is the meaning of the country, and no one can change it." I didn't get the trumpet myself. β
"Lao Guo, you haven't even shaken the number, you are the number one in our Yanzhou Province!"
Lao Guo sighed and said: "The news blockade is very tight, it is said that only the central officials know what is going on, let's continue to shake the number, although all countries have been mobilizing troops recently, but it should not be possible to fight in a short time." β
"Lao Guo, if there is any new news, you must inform me as soon as possible, what does the country need? Our Liu family is willing to help, as long as it can let our Liu family enter the shelter!"
This Liu is always really in a hurry, war warning, is that a joke?
He was just a businessman, and he didn't even get the biggest official he could find an inside source, which shows the seriousness of the situation.
If there is a real war, money can't buy lives!
He Liu Qianshan has worked hard for so many years, crawling all the way to the present, isn't it just to make his family's life better?
If the war comes suddenly, but his family dies outside because he can't shake the number, what is the meaning of his life?
"Okay, I'll let you know if there's any new news. β
Lao Guo hung up the phone, and then put the microphone on the table.
This is the thirteenth call that has come in today.
Old leaders in the past, descendants under them, wealthy businessmen, relatives......
All came to ask him about the lottery to see if there was a way to take the route of the government to stuff people into the shelter, and most of them said that they were willing to spend money to buy the number, as much as they wanted.
However, Lao Guo was also very helpless, and the matter of the lottery did not go through his hands at all.
Ever since the first level of combat readiness was put under martial law, the army has been directly involved in the affairs of the provinces, and he has no right to intervene in many matters.
Lao Guo's wife had breast cancer early, so Lao Guo's family was him, his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter.
Both the daughter and the granddaughter were shaken, so he wasn't particularly nervous.
He is almost sixty years old, and he is satisfied to sit at this height, and the people have not all entered the bomb shelter, why should he go in?
As for the son-in-law -
Hehe, as we all know, the son-in-law and the father-in-law have nothing to do with each other.
...
Accompanied by her family, Li Jingxian nervously opened the lottery webpage, dragged the red joystick with the mouse, and dragged the joystick to the limit before letting go.
It seems that this increases the probability of getting the number.
"Burn My Calories (Broken Voice)~"
Bite!
A gift box popped up from the center of the page, Li Jingxian opened it in surprise, and a nameplate with a flashing golden light appeared in the center of the screen.
"Congratulations, Jingxian Lee, you have been granted the right to stay in the Underground Shelter, please contact the following number immediately for details. β
A line of numbers appears below the nameplate, which is a phone number.
Li Jingxian was stunned at first, she didn't expect that she could be so lucky, and she won the first lottery.
Then comes ecstasy, being able to stay in a shelter, and that's what it means to be alive!
"I've got the number!" Li Jingxian said happily.
Li Jingxian's mother smiled and stroked Li Jingxian's hair: "Well, someone in our family finally shook it." β
After the number was shaken, the brief surprise subsided.
Li Jingxian suddenly thought: "Mom, Dad, what should you do?"
Mom shook her head slightly, for her, her daughter was the most important, and everyone else, including herself, was at the back of the line.
"It doesn't matter, isn't there still time, shake it slowly, you can always shake it. Mom smiled and comforted, "Come, call quickly, don't delay." β
At the urging of her mother, Li Jingxian nervously dialed the number on the nameplate.
It rang only three times, and the phone was connected.
"Hello, Li Jingxian, we have got your specific address, please don't leave there. β
"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, a helicopter will pass by, he will pick you up and go to Shilan airport. β
"You will fly there with others to the capital shelter. β
A calm voice rang on the other end of the phone, his tone formulaic and cold.
Li Jingxian instantly had a lot of questions, such as how did he know that it was 'Li Jingxian' who called, and how did he know his address in such a short period of time......
But she asked the most crucial one first: "Why the Capital Vault?"
Li Jingxian was afraid that the other party would answer her that Shilan's shelter was full, which meant that her parents' chances of winning the number were very slim.
"The staffing arrangement is decided by the superiors, I don't know, and you don't need to know. Any other questions?" replied calmly the operator.
Li Jingxian hurriedly asked, "Then, can I transfer my number to my parents?"
"No, you can't. The operator replied dryly.
"Why can't it? Isn't it just a string of numbers, not for whom?" asked Li Jingxian a little anxiously.
Mom frowned and patted her on the shoulder, motioning for her to stop asking such questions.
The mother was very moved, but she must not allow herself to occupy her daughter's place of survival.
The operator was silent for a while and then said faintly: "If you can't shake the number, it's useless to take someone else's number......"
"How can it be useless! As long as it can be transferred, can't it be used?"
Li Jingxian shouted into the microphone, her eyes already covered with a layer of mist.
There was a murmur on the phone, followed by another man's voice ringing through the microphone.
"I'm sorry, but if number transfers are allowed, there will be a lot of confusion, and there will only be fewer people going into the vault than there are now. β
This is how the man explained.
Li Jingxian argued unrelentingly: "Then why can't you draw numbers as a family unit?"
"There is a reason for this arrangement. The man said slowly, "Okay, you have enough questions, the helicopter will pick you up at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, now hurry up and say goodbye to your parents, say 'I love you', don't delay the trip." β
"You..."
Li Jingxian's mobile phone was snatched away by her mother, her mother took two steps back to avoid Li Jingxian's gripping hand, and she said through the microphone:
"Thank you, our family Jingxian will definitely be on time, so be it. β
The mother hung up the phone and then returned the phone to her daughter.
"Xianxian, don't do stupid things, you are not allowed to make this call again, otherwise we will break off the mother-daughter relationship!"
Mom glared at Li Jingxian and said in a stern voice.
Li Jingxian's eyes were red, and she whimpered in a low voice while wiping her tears: "I know." β
Is Shi Lan's shelter so full that she has to go to the capital shelter?
If the Shilan Shelter is full, it is obvious that it will be very difficult for the people of Shilan City to shake the number again.
The girl is precocious, and Li Jingxian knows that she may never see her parents again, and may even be separated from life and death.
Li Jingxian stepped down from the chair, hugged her mother tightly, and buried her head in her head and cried.
As a fourteen-year-old girl, all she can do is seize the time to embrace the woman who loves her the most in the world.
Dad stepped forward, hugged the two of them, and was silent.
