"Lu Li, I'll go to you at half past eight and take you out for a walk." Tang Xing sent a message via voicemail.

Lu Li and his senior brother finished running and were still eating upstairs, so Tang Xing came down and called Lu Li's name. Xie An also heard who was coming upstairs and replied, "Come up, it's up there." ”

Tang Xing walked up, looked at the two of them, and then turned his head to look at the layout of the second floor. asked: "Boss Xie, the second floor seems to be different, it is more spacious than before." ”

Xie An smiled: "It's not like this kid is going to participate in a fighting match, make room for him to buy something." ”

Looking at the two people who seemed to be old acquaintances, Lu Li was a little puzzled: "You two know each other?" ”

"I know, I used to buy goods in Boss Xie's store." Tang Xing explained with a smile.

"Eaten? Master Tang. Xie An asked.

"After eating, eating, after eating, I plan to take Lu Li out for a spin today." Tang Xing replied.

For his junior brother and Tang Xing playing together, Xie An had no intention of interfering. After thinking about it, he said: "It's okay to go out for a walk, Xinhai City is so big, Lu Li hasn't gone out much, see the scenery of Xinhai City." ”

Lu Li asked in a tentative tone, "Senior brother, what about today's fire sale?" ”

"Don't pretend to be here, you're impatient when someone takes you out to play, and you're pretending to worry about my goods?"

His words were punctured in an instant, and Lu Li touched his head with a smile, "Then, senior brother, let's go out." ”

"Go out, I'm not your master who can't control you." Xie An waved his hand, lowered his head, and continued to drink oats.

"Where are we going?" Lu Li asked in the car.

"Do you remember the conversation between the two of us and Miss Ling in the store? Discuss technology and class. ”

"Yes. What's wrong? ”

"I have always been concerned about the current situation of class division in Shinhae City, and the Liberation Society has been working hard to improve this situation, but the effect has not been significant. Did you know that Xinhai City has a much higher proportion of people below the poverty line than other large cities? ”

"This is the first time I've heard someone say, why? I feel that Xinhai City is more developed than Beijing, why are there so many poor people? Lu Li asked curiously.

"This is the side effect of science and technology, the rapid development of the level of science and technology is not a matter of benefit to all mankind, the high degree of social automation brought by science and technology, but has a violent impact on most jobs, Xinhai City as a super city known for high technology, of course, the impact is also the most tragic. You may not believe the actual unemployment rate in Xinhai City, 57 percent! Only 15 percent of the data released by the government is laughing to death. ”

"Fifty-seven and fifteen, that's too big a difference. What does the government think, isn't it a lie? ”

"The Xinhai Municipal Government has changed the criteria for identifying the unemployed, and those who used to work more than seven hours a day seven days a week are called employed people, but now the standards are relaxed, as long as there are five hours a week at work, there is a job, for example, I am a self-employed boss, let you come to work for an hour a day and give you 50 yuan each time, you are considered a person with a job."

"Haha, isn't that cool? Spend a lot of time playing every day. Lu Li smiled.

"Play? Playing, most of these people with a difference between fifty-seven and fifteen are the population covered by the 'Torch Project'. ”

"What is Project Torch?"

"The government's 'Torch Project' is a genius program that rapidly increases the employment rate, organizing unemployed people in Xinhai City and requiring them to come to the government's civil affairs building every week and stay for five hours to complete their work. In this way, the government's employment rate has also risen, and they can also receive the so-called salary, which is actually a relief fund, and it is impossible to treat the sick and raise children, and they can barely have something to eat, which is why the GDP of Xinhai City is so high, and the poor people agree a lot. ”

"And what are they doing for five hours?"

"It doesn't matter what you do, as far as I know, some of them went to sit around and chat, and some of them were tutored by the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau to do manual work in class, like a nursing home."

"Then why doesn't the government give them actual jobs? That's a waste of labor. ”

"The government thinks, but it's a pity that there are very few jobs in Xinhai City that need real people on duty now, and even the taxis in Xinhai City have basically become unmanned. You go to a restaurant for a meal, and the waiter and the chef are all mechanical. A large hotel with a daily passenger flow of thousands only needs two managers on duty, and the rest is done by machinery. ”

Obviously, Tang Xing is telling the truth, although he hasn't visited Xinhai City much in the past few days, the taxis he has done are all unmanned vehicles, and there are many robot shopping guides in the shops on the street. Although the conversation is blunt, and even sometimes the answer is not asked, but it can't stand the cheap and capable, if the ordinary clerk asks him to contact the duty for five hours, he will cry his father and call his mother, but the robot can be on duty in the store 24 hours a day.

"When I saw you back from the boat that day, I said that I would take you to see the people at the bottom of Xinhai City, which is in the north of Tianchang District, which has the largest population and the largest population below the poverty line."

As he spoke, Tang Xing's car slowed down significantly, and the dashboard sounded an alarm.

"Running out of power, running out of power."

The car was completely paralyzed on the side of the road and could not start at all.

"What the hell, I charged it in the morning. How can the kung fu of talking suddenly bottom out? Tang Xing complained.

The two got out of the car, and Tang Xing pulled the battery out and looked at it.

"It is estimated that the battery is broken, but fortunately there is a charging pile nearby, I will go to replace a battery, and you will come back immediately and you stand here and don't move." I was back in about five minutes. Tang Xing instructed.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Lu Li agreed.

Tang Xing carried the battery and walked to the convenience store in the distance.

A sports car suddenly stopped next to it, and it was in front of Lu Li. The window rolled down was a young man, but strangely, he was wearing a brown vest with four large front pockets, and a bright sign scrolling on his chest showing Shinkai TV.

It's strange that the TV station crew drives a sports car alone. But Lu Li was scared when he saw the TV station now, so he didn't dare to watch more, and hurriedly avoided his gaze and pretended to watch the scenery.

"Hi~" the man in the car greeted.

Lu Li still has a fluke mentality and wants to fool the past. Ignore the other person's greetings.

"Lu Li!" The man in the car called out his name directly.

It seems that he can't be fooled, so he can only reply stubbornly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"I'm from the Restoration Society." The man said with a smile, squeezing the folds around his eyes one by one, and his thin lips raised high.

For the other party to express his identity so clearly, Lu Li was a little at a loss.

"Oh, my name is Ben Tonggen. He is also a reporter for Xinhai TV. The man showed off the bright sign on his vest like a child, "You know, we are all dual identities in the Restoration Society, and in reality we are all law-abiding citizens." ”

Lu Li looked at this man whose words and deeds were as strange as his name, and followed awkwardly: "Haha, is it?" ”

"Tang Xing called me, and he said that he would take another car to Tianchang District first, and asked me to take you to Tianchang District. Let's get in the car. Ben Tonggen suddenly said seriously.

This man's strange words and deeds made Lu Li suspicious, and he didn't choose to trust this stranger easily: "No need, Tang Xing said that he would come over in five minutes, I'd better wait for him." ”

When Ben Tonggen heard Lu Li's refusal, his face immediately became serious, and he took out a gun; "Lu Li, I suggest that you still follow my instructions, otherwise I will beat you to death here and let your senior brother collect the body!"

Seeing that the other party actually took out a gun, Lu Lizhi stood in place and thought about countermeasures.

I didn't expect the situation to reach this point, this person suddenly became fierce, although it was difficult to ensure that the other party was holding a real gun, but he didn't dare to gamble with his life. At this time, the two of them, one in the car and the other outside the car, it is completely impossible to snatch each other's guns before the other party shoots. It seems that you can only follow the other party's orders and make plans again.

Raised his hands to show obedience, Ben Tonggen saw Lu Li submitting, and continued to raise the corners of his mouth with great satisfaction, and took the initiative to open the co-pilot's door.

Seeing that the other party invited him to be the co-pilot, he was overjoyed, as long as he got close, the other party must not be his opponent. Just like the last time he played against the big-bellied Zheng Hua, he regained control by quickly snatching the gun.

Lu Li hid his inner thoughts and got into the car without moving. Ben Tonggen watched the other party get into the car, and he didn't know if his brain was short-circuited or what, so he put the gun in the cup holder between the two, and prepared to start the car with his right hand.

Right now, Lu Li saw the right time, and quickly attacked with his left hand, ready to snatch the gun first.

"Smack!" Lu Li's left hand and the gun were both tightly held by Tong Gensheng, and he failed to seize the gun.

"I said, why are you still disobedient when you get in the car? Do you think there's only one way I can get you in the car with a gun pointed at you? I just don't get out of the car and do it. Ben Tonggen's right arm was like a big shovel, pressing Lu Li's left hand tightly on the cup holder, no matter how he resisted, he couldn't move, Lu Li still didn't give up, and used his other hand to hold the opponent's arm desperately.

In the face of Lu Li's use of breastfeeding to move with both hands, Ben Tonggen still pressed with one arm without changing his face. It looked as easy as pressing a piece of paper, "Lu Li, I advise you to get acquainted with each other, I didn't come to you this time to hurt you, but to take you to a place, something ten times more interesting than what Tang Xing wants to take you!" ”

In the face of this stranger who pointed a gun at him, he would not believe any nonsense anymore, his left hand was pressed and could not move, so he could only punch hard!

Lu Li, who was sitting in the car, kicked his legs and twisted his waist, and it was a straight right punch that was thrown out quickly.

"Peng!"
