Chapter 303: Big Shot
Dongyang Satellite City.
Huaxia has 12 base cities and 47 satellite cities.
The population of the base city exceeds 100 million, and the population of the satellite city is 10 million at most.
Of the 47 satellite cities, half of them were cities that existed before the revival of spiritual power, and the remaining half were bases established for the suppression and development of the interdimensional space gate, and over time, cities were formed.
Satellite cities do not have guardian artifacts, and tall walls are built around the city.
The city is surrounded by tall walls that extend ten meters into the ground.
On the city wall, there are all kinds of weapons, and there are guards patrolling, and the high-strength cement is mixed with various sharp metal thorns, which can resist the tide of small and medium-sized demon beasts.
This wall is also known as the Great Monument.
The giant beast is kept out of the city.
However, in the sky above the city, there is no giant wall, and there is no guardian barrier of the base city, so there are often incidents of flying monsters attacking humans.
The deaths and injuries of the residents of the base city are almost all caused by the appearance of a new interdimensional space gate and the attack of demon beasts, and the probability of occurrence is not large, and the number of people is not large, dozens of people are considered very serious, and generally not more than a hundred.
And in the satellite city, there are also new interdimensional space gates appearing, and they have to face the attacks of demon beasts all the time.
Every few days, people can see on TV which satellite city is being attacked by monsters.
Every month or two, there is big news that a huge stone has been breached, killing and injuring hundreds of people.
It's impossible for a monster to invade the city in the base city, but it happens often in the satellite city.
Because there is no guardian artifact to supervise, the order of the satellite city is even more chaotic, and the crime rate is dozens of times that of the base city.
According to records, the number of births in satellite cities has been declining for three consecutive years.
There is no sense of security, no sense of happiness, which is the reason why people in satellite cities are reluctant to get married, and they do not want to have children when they get married.
Dongyang Satellite City.
Merlin Garment Factory.
This is a suburb, close to a garment factory less than two kilometers from Jubi.
The workers working in the factory can see the huge wall through the window, and from time to time they can clearly hear the roar of the monster.
The workers did not react much to this, they were used to it, or they were numb.
The Meilin Garment Factory is small in scale and employs more than 500 people.
At this time, at seven o'clock in the morning, the factory was already in full swing and busy.
Everyone is doing their own job in a position they are familiar with.
Working an average of more than fifteen hours a day, working day after day, people's faces have long been devoid of brightness, but they are not depressed, accustomed and numb, only when chatting, the atmosphere will be more lively.
"Outside the giant last night, I don't know which demon beast was in estrus, and I screamed all night, so that my wife didn't sleep last night."
"Hehe, maybe I smelled you and got heat."
"Big one, are you looking for a cheap mouth."
"Maybe her husband kept her awake all night."
"How can her husband have that strength, the old Wang next door is about the same."
As usual, the small talk in the factory is always inseparable from the yellow cavity, accompanied by bursts of laughter, and from time to time someone gets on the car and speeds up.
"Did you watch the Rookie Challenge yesterday? It's so exciting. ”
"I was sleepy after work yesterday, but I still stayed up late to read it."
"Zhan Tianyu won Yun Tianqi is surprising enough, originally I thought this was the climax, who knew that Lin Feng was, haha, worthy of being recognized by the media as the king of trouble, the headliner, actually blew up Xie Yixiao, I heard that Xie Yixiao's right hand was almost wasted, and he had to miss more than ten games."
"Lin Feng is ruthless enough, he can't beat it, and he directly commits suicide."
"Ruthless people are not terrible, what is terrible is a madman who is not afraid of death."
"Just ask the opponent if he is afraid, even blow himself up!"
"Xie Yixiao deserves it, I didn't see that Yun Kai was scorched, Lin Feng is avenging his brother."
Someone talked about the Rookie Challenge, and the atmosphere was immediately hot.
On this topic, whether it is a little girl or a young man who has just entered the factory, or an uncle and aunt who is already sixty or seventy years old, they can come forward and say a few words.
And all have their own opinions.
Have your own object of concern.
Although those proud sons of the sky have nothing to do with them, the distance is too far away, and they are not people of the same world, but it does not prevent them from chasing stars and yearning.
"Today is the rematch of the National College Glory League, which starts at three o'clock in the afternoon, but unfortunately I have to work overtime and can't watch the live broadcast."
"Next year, that kid in my family will be eighteen, I don't know what level of demon spirit he can refine, the three hero academies dare not think about it, it would be good to be able to go to the nine elite joint schools."
A woman's expression showed a hint of anticipation, which resonated with many parents.
No matter where they are, children are the hope of their parents, and even more so in satellite towns.
In the city of the Twelve Bases, the desire of ordinary families is to move into the inner city.
That was the starting point of entering the upper class of society, the beginning of soaring.
And the wish of almost all families in the satellite city is to be able to enter the twelve base cities, even the slums, because then the safety is guaranteed.
In the eyes of the people of the satellite city, as long as you can live in the base city, it is the beginning of happiness.
The base city is already overcrowded, and it is difficult to accept new people.
Children in satellite cities have a chance to stay in the base city only if they are admitted to a good university. The average person, if they want to live in the base city, needs to pay S$5 million.
This amount of money is astronomical for the average family, and for the average worker, it will not be saved for a hundred years without eating or drinking.
And this is just one person, if it is a family, it is tens of millions.
Even if you are admitted to a good university and can stay in the base city to work, only part of it can rely on your own efforts to bring your parents and family to the base city.
Therefore, very few people from the satellite city can enter the base city.
There are many ways to change your fate.
You can study hard, get admitted to a good university, get a good job after graduation, or make a lot of money in business.
But the fastest and highest status is undoubtedly to awaken the day to refine the demon spirit and become a demon spirit master.
As long as you refine high-level demon spirits, you can change your own destiny and even the fate of your family.
After discussing the awakening day, the next time is all kinds of time to show off your children.
Their own children are talented, and they do not hesitate to talk about their children's achievements at this time, which is their proudest place and the greatest hope for their numb life.
At this time, if there are no children, or if the children's grades are not good, they can only show envy and have no qualifications to express their opinions.
"What about being admitted to the three hero academies, Zhang Aomei and her daughter were not admitted to Moxing University, she doesn't work here like us."
Suddenly, a fat woman said.
As soon as he said this, everyone quieted down slightly, and then many people laughed out loud and looked not far away.
There, steam lingers.
An old woman in her fifties and sixties, with gray hair and loose skin, who looked unethical, was holding an iron and ironing her clothes seriously.
People were chatting just now, and the old woman was silent, and when it came to the topic of children, she lowered her head and lowered her sense of existence, but there was no accident, they still talked about themselves.
Seeing everyone's playful eyes, she didn't refute, she was repeatedly asked, she was not impatient, she just smiled, and her smile was slightly bitter.
Such a topic arises every two or three days.
From the beginning of the unconvinced argument, to now bowing her head and being silent, she has become accustomed to it.
"Why are you talking about this, aren't you tired after saying so many times, her son is paralyzed and is still being treated in the hospital, in addition to going to work every day, she also has to clean the factory, and she works eighteen hours a day, is it easy?"
There were some people who didn't laugh and frowned.
But this did not make the fat woman relent, but said louder: "Isn't this curiosity? Zhang Aomei, is your daughter really at Moxing University? ”
Zhang Aomei lowered her head, did not respond, and burned her clothes seriously.
did not answer, and did not make the fat woman stop, but laughed more unscrupulously:
"It must be a lie, it is the pride of the sky to be admitted to the Demon Star University, and I still use you to work, it has been so long, I have already earned money, and I will take you to the Demon Star."
Listening to these harsh words, Zhang Aomei wanted to refute.
Her daughter is not only in the Magic Star University, but also specially recruited, which is much more difficult than being admitted.
Two days ago, my daughter also remitted 1.2 million yuan.
The workers in the factory only have a monthly salary of three or four thousand, and they can't afford to spend a few thousand yuan a year, and they have two children at home, and they can't make ends meet, so they have to borrow money to live.
One and two million, this is money that a fat woman will never earn in her lifetime.
Zhang Aomei wanted to refute, but in the end she didn't say anything.
One million and two million, so much money, will cause many people to be greedy.
This money is for the son's medical expenses.
She still has to work in the factory, everyone is an ordinary person, and they all earn a good salary, if people are too envious, it is not a good thing.
If you don't fit in, you will be ostracized.
She has experienced this firsthand.
The daughter was specially recruited into the Demon Star University, and it really became their pride and the pride of the whole family at the beginning.
But for more than a year, because of their son's accident, their husband and wife both worked in the factory and worked hard to make money, which made them ridiculed.
The sadness can only be experienced by oneself.
Seeing that Zhang Aomei didn't dare to refute as usual, the fat woman raised her head and sneered, and said, "I'm right, if it's true, why didn't she refute?" ”
Ding Ding Ding...
Just when everyone was chatting, suddenly a piercing bell rang, which was the sound of an emergency assembly in the factory, and it would only ring when there was a big event.
"Could it be that the demon beast is attacking the city?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing, their bodies tensed, and their expressions worried. Some were even trembling and looking frightened.
However, looking at the appearance of the factory leader, it seems that it is not.
"Hurry up and run, haven't you eaten one by one? Go to the sidelines and have big names on the sidelines. ”
The leader-like man shouted.
"What big shot?"
It wasn't the demon beast attacking the city, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to ask, let alone complaining.
There is no shortage of workers in the factory.
In the factory, the leader is the emperor of the soil, although he is nothing in the outside world, but here, with a slight word, they will have to lose their jobs.
In today's society, it is not so easy to find a job, even for factory workers with such low wages.
Five minutes later.
More than 500 people gathered outside the factory, led by more than 10 leaders and management, they were also discussing, puzzled, and didn't seem to know what the big man was?
It's really a big shot, how could they come to such a small garment factory?
This is an hour, but the so-called big man has not yet appeared.
The employees whispered, although they were impatient, but they didn't dare to have opinions when they saw the leaders waiting obediently.
"Here we are."
Suddenly, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked up.
I saw a silver-white hovering car appear in mid-air, and the wing logo on the front of the car was the familiar 'wings', a luxury car with a minimum starting of 10 million.
Under the gaze of everyone, the luxury car slowly descended and landed on the ground.
A man and a woman opened the car door and walked out.
The man is forty or fifty years old, and his figure has been seriously fattened, and the employees are no strangers to this person.
Dongyang Satellite City is divided into seven districts, and their location is Anning District, and the man's name is Xie Dafu, who is the head of the district.
It's just that how could the district mayor come to a small garment factory like them?
Is this here to inspect?
What surprised them even more was that in their eyes, the head of the Shangdu District was very polite to the woman beside him, with a smile on his face.
The employees did not know the woman.
But the factory director, at this time, couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
As long as you are in business, you will not know the woman in front of you.
The seven families of the magic capital, the spokesperson of the Huang Group in Dongyang, Huang Xintao.
As a glorious family, Huang Xintao is a real big man, no wonder even the district chief has to be respectful.
Such a character, with a casual word, can make a region develop rapidly.
"Why did Huang Xintao come here?"
The factory director's heart beats fast, such a big man, he has no place to stammer, and he has no qualifications.
Just as he was about to step forward, he slammed his footsteps, only to see that the yellow heart peach actually came to the back of the car and opened the door.
Turned out to be something bigger?
The factory director felt his blood boiling, and his heart was about to jump out.
Under his gaze, a young man got out of the car.
The young man looked about twenty years old, not tall, less than 1.7 meters, he could not be said to be skinny, but his figure was extremely thin, his face was a little pale, and he looked very bad in spirit.
Huang Xintao stood behind the young man, slightly falling on half of the young man's body, as if to show respect.
Although the young man was in a bad mental state, his expression was obviously a little excited, and he seemed to be looking for someone in the crowd.
Among the employees, Zhang Aomei's expression was a little surprised and confused, and she muttered to herself: "It seems to be Xiaojun?" ”
The young man and her daughter really looked alike.
Her daughter took care of such a flat head two years ago, and she also said that her daughter was not like a girl several times.
Although she has lost a lot of weight, as a mother, she still recognizes her daughter, but she doesn't dare to recognize her.
Such a big person, a character who even the district chief has to stammer, will be his own daughter?
