"Actually, when I think about it now, I think it's very boring." Gao Lan suddenly sighed and said, "It's like Shi Yongchuan, although he has never been a leader in his life, but his influence is so great, and now when he dies, the forces under him will suddenly disappear, and he will no longer be in full swing." That's what it's all about, people. ”

It may be because he has just experienced a severe cold, so Gao Lan actually has a little tangled mood at this time, and then affected by Shi Yongchuan's death, he has some relatively negative attitudes.

If it had been placed before, Gao Lan, who was also proud of the spring breeze in his career, would not have such thoughts.

So Lin Xiao smiled when he heard it, "Shi Yongchuan's problem, after all, is caused by himself, his start back then was not authentic, and later he instructed others to help him collect money and sell his official beard, this kind of thing has been done too much, and he still wants to have a good end?" That's too unreasonable. ”

Shi Yongchuan's matter is naturally not worthy of sympathy.

Maybe some people will feel a little embarrassed when they see a high-ranking official at the provincial and ministerial level who actually fell into the fate of taking poison and committing suicide, and feel that this is too miserable, but when you think about how many ordinary people he has harmed since he sat in this position, so that the development of the entire Anbei Province has lagged behind the surrounding provinces for several years, they will feel that he actually deserves it, and his death is not unjust at all.

"Having said that, when you think about it, there is always some emotion." Gao Lan said.

"The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "You are not a corrupt official, why should you sigh about this?" Although it's a little cool tonight, it's a good time to watch the night view of the pearl. ”

He drove Gao Lan and walked around the streets of Mingzhu, on the one hand, to relax, and on the other hand, to fulfill his promise to accompany Gao Lan to go shopping.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and the streets were brightly lit, and it did look like a city that never sleeps.

The scenery of the Bund is very beautiful, and the night view of several landmark buildings in the east from the Bund has always been a reserved program of Pearl Tourism.

Looking at the Bund in the west from the riverside avenue in the east is, of course, the choice of many people.

However, the riverside avenue is divided into two sections, and the section near the ferry port is a relatively little-known place, and the scenery of this section is also beautiful

When Lin Xiao took Gao Lan over, he saw a restaurant by the river, and the landscape lights outside were ingeniously made into the shape of a Christmas tree, which looked like the lights were shining, and it was indeed beautiful.

Behind these landscape lights, there is a lighthouse-shaped building, which is the restaurant, and after a careful look, I found that this restaurant was originally converted into a restaurant by the old lighthouse by the river, which is beautifully arranged, and there are lawns and outdoor seats next to it.

Many tourists who come here for a walk eat and drink tea here, but the fly in the ointment is that the price is a bit expensive.

Next to the restaurant is the Bund Yacht Club, which also has a stadium-like seating setup and occasional performances. Usually it's a great place for couples to go on a date and chat.

If you look up, you can see the scenery on the other side, the old buildings on the Bund.

"The essence of the Bund lies in the preserved Bund buildings, such as the Peace Hotel, the Customs House, the HSBC Building, etc., which can be said to reproduce the style of Wall Street in the Far East in the past." After Lin Xiao looked at it, he pointed and introduced to Gao Lan, "Although these buildings are not from the same designer, nor were they built in the same period, their architectural tones are basically unified, and the overall contour line is amazingly harmonious. Whether you look far away or wander in the meantime, you can feel a strong, majestic, graceful, and luxurious momentum. Some people say that the story of the Bund is the story of the pearl, and I think there is some truth to it. ”

When Gao Lan heard this, he looked in the direction of Lin Xiao's finger, looking at the reinforced concrete buildings that had already been a little old, and a feeling rose in his heart, as if these buildings were telling the dreamlike and prosperous past of Mingzhu.

For a while, Gao Lan's heart couldn't help but become a little intoxicated, and she couldn't help but lean herself into Lin Xiao's arms.

Lin Xiao's body stiffened, but he didn't expect Gao Lan to have such a reaction.

However, Gao Lan's reaction was only a blink of an eye, she quickly left Lin Xiao's embrace, pretended to comb her hair with her hands easily, and then said to Lin Xiao, "I've also seen the night scene, so send me back to the hotel." The night breeze by the river blew like this, and now I suddenly felt a little tired again, and I just wanted to rest earlier. ”

"It's fine." Lin Xiao was indeed a little embarrassed by her leaning on her just now, and after listening to Gao Lan's words at this time, he didn't object, so he drove her back to the hotel.

Lin Xiao drove the car, passed through several avenues, and when he was about to turn in the direction of the hotel, he found that the traffic jam in front of him was more serious.

"It's all this time, why are you still stuck in traffic?" When Lin Xiao saw it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He went out with Gao Lan to watch the night view at night, but he didn't bring other people, so he drove by himself, but Lin Xiao was not so familiar with the environment on Mingzhu's side, and when the road was blocked, he was a little blind.

What's even more outrageous is that because I was in a hurry, there was not even a navigation on the car.

"You can navigate with your mobile phone, you wait a minute, I'll go to the map of Pearl City first." Gao Lan thought of a way, so Lin Xiao heard the car on the side of the road, and then waited for Gao Lan to upload a map on his mobile phone.

After about ten minutes of tossing, Gao Lan finally figured out the map navigation on his mobile phone, figured out where they were, and then began to search for the most suitable route.

"Turn left at the intersection two hundred meters ahead......" The navigation prompt sounded.

"Ha, that's not bad either." Lin Xiao saw it and immediately praised it.

In fact, his interest in these electronic products is not so great, because there are usually Sun Quan and Lu Ping by his side, and Lin Xiao only needs to sit back and enjoy his achievements to deal with this kind of thing, so when he is really alone, he feels a little bored in the face of this problem.

It's not that he doesn't, it's just that he doesn't have much interest in these things.

Lin Xiao's car started and drove in the direction prompted, but before the car had gone ten meters, he saw a black thing moving on the road ahead.

"Something!" As soon as Lin Xiao braked, when the headlights shone past, he could see the front clearly.

A disabled person who looked like a beggar, leaning on a small four-wheeled cart made of wooden planks, was moving along the road with some difficulty.

If it weren't for Lin Xiao's faster reaction just now, he might have crashed into it directly.

After all, the chassis of the four-wheeled vehicle is very low, and the whole person is lying on it, which is not much different from lying directly on the ground, and it is indeed difficult to find if you don't pay attention to it.

"What the hell! In a place like Mingzhu, it is inevitable that there will be street begging? Lin Xiao complained, stopped the car, and prepared to wait for the beggar to pass before driving.

To tell the truth, all major cities can't avoid the phenomenon of street begging, even in the capital, there will still be a lot of street beggars, staying at the subway entrance, under the overpass, etc., from time to time to passers-by stretched out their hands, and some even got on the subway, from the front to the back of the car one by one to ask for money.

It's just that Lin Xiao rarely encounters such a situation, so after seeing it, he felt a little uncomfortable.

After Gao Lan saw the beggar in front of him clearly, he said thoughtfully, "Recently, there seems to be a lot of discussion about the phenomenon of begging on the streets. ”

"Oh? What's wrong with this? When Lin Xiao heard this, he felt that there seemed to be some other flavors in Gao Lan's words, so he asked with some curiosity.

"We are in the propaganda work, so we know a little bit about this kind of thing." Gao Lan said to Lin Xiao, "More than % of the people begging on the streets today are professional begging personnel. ”

According to Gao Lan, the begging people on the streets of the capital today are mainly from Henan, Anhui, Guizhou and other places, and the begging method is a man and a woman with a child begging; There are also those who put a handkerchief on their heads, and a stick in their hands, and take a bowl to beg; There are also those who kneel on the ground, saying that their relatives have died, or that they have been stolen or robbed on the street.

Gao Lan told Lin Xiao that once, when they organized an activity in their department, together with the staff of the aid station, they worked hard to send a group of beggars from a certain province in central China home, and found that the other party's home was actually built in a three-story small western-style building, and there was a garage below, and his two sons were working locally, and their families were quite wealthy in the local area.

"The most outrageous thing is that after sending him home, less than half a month later, this person appeared on the streets of the capital again, begging for money everywhere." Gao Lan said, "So we watched too much later, so we didn't think so." Maybe these people's monthly income is much higher than the salary of our people. ”

When Lin Xiao heard this, he nodded, although he had heard about it, but he had never experienced it personally, but he didn't expect Gao Lan to actually experience such a thing.

"These beggars generally don't beg locally, because they are afraid of meeting acquaintances and losing face." Gao Lan said, "Because these beggars are all professional, begging on the streets, and their income is not low, they are not willing to accept help at all. ”

"There's really nothing you can do about it." Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "At most, someone is just begging on the street, if there is a crime or not, can't they be arrested?" Besides, even if they are arrested, they will always have to be released, and when the time comes, they will still have to carry out professional begging to the end. ”

Although he said that, seeing this phenomenon on the streets of Mingzhu, Lin Xiao always felt a little uncomfortable.

Just as the two were talking, the beggar on the four-wheeled cart on the opposite side had already moved away from their faces.

Lin Xiao lit the fire, and then prepared to drive, but he didn't expect that something happened in front of him.
