Xiao Zishan is very aware of the characteristics of such people. 【Read full text】.. It has been smooth sailing all my life, I have been able to navigate the society with ease, I have never suffered any losses, and everything is in order. He feels that he can do everything and everyone is under his eye. Now being controlled and used, put into another book, and because of the woman he despises the most, he probably has a lot of resentment in his heart. His revenge must have been brutal and violent.
Xiao Zishan couldn't help but shudder when he thought about what would happen if a woman who was not deeply involved in the world, read a lot of books, and had most of her social experience from movies, TV series, and online novels fell into this gentleman's crosshairs.
He had witnessed with his own eyes a girl he knew fell from being a white-collar worker in the company to working as a prostitute for her soft-bodied boyfriend, who was also four or five "girlfriends" ranging from eighteen to forty years old. These women can sit at the same wine table to celebrate his birthday, compete with each other to flatter him, and spend all their money on him.
While lamenting that some men just deserve to be doused with gasoline and burned, he also deeply understands how emotionally stupid and persistent women are - once they fall into the emotional trap of some gifted men, they are often unable to extricate themselves, and they will get into trouble if things go wrong. No personal injury. Xin Wu was able to make girls jump off buildings in another time and space, and he might also be able to make women jump into the sea in this time and space. Sitting in a warm room watching these stories full of the dark side of human nature and experiencing this darkness yourself are completely different things.
He knew that Comrade Deputy Director came to him not to ask for his consent, but just out of "respect" for the Executive Committee.
But Xiao Zishan always felt that something was wrong. Although this little woman's methods and thoughts were a little more insidious, she was just using the elders' skills to gain power for herself, and the problems she exposed were normal and objective. Although what she did was a conspiracy, overall it didn't cross the line.
After all, she is also one of the elders. If the great gentleman Xin Wuzui really caused some trouble, it would not only bring disgrace to the elders, but also involve the unity between male and female elders - of course. In accordance with the principle of complete democracy, all the female senators uniting together will not be able to change the situation, but after all, they are an important part of the Senate, and a real break will not be beneficial to the entire cause.
Thinking of this, he became increasingly uneasy. He picked up his PHS and called Zhao Manxiong: "Old Xiong, what you told me about..." Zhao Manxiong hung up the phone without waiting for his answer. Xiao Zishan thought, are you considering my inconvenience in answering "yes" or "no"?
Although he trusted the political wisdom of Comrade First Deputy Director, it was questionable whether a person familiar with the history of the Great Purge would be as ruthless as this history in handling matters involving the elders. He thought about it again and again, and decided to go see this gentleman in person and get a first-hand understanding of the situation. After all, it had been several years since he last saw him.
The place where Xin Wu worked the most was in Gaoshanling - the "Central Computing Center" under the Ministry of Finance.
Naturally, he couldn't go there on purpose, but by "accidental encounter". It was not difficult for him to find an excuse to go to Gaoshanling. Many agencies directly under the executive committee located in the Gaoshanling restricted area are under the management of the general office. He would go to the high mountains and ridges almost every three to five days. A trip to the computing center was also part of his job.
Speaking of computing centers. You will definitely think of countless server hosts in a white modern building arranged in a neat array in a constant temperature and humidity computer room, with ED lights of various colors flashing. But in this time and space, this computing center is a long three-story red brick building with many columns. This is a "key building" built by the Construction Corporation under the three principles of "applicability, solidity and economy" proposed by the Senate, Chairman Wen and Secretary Ma.
Xiao Zishan passed through the tightly guarded gate and went directly to the "Computing Building" without going to the center's director's office - he knew that the senior director of the computing center went to the financial entrance to attend a meeting today.
Xiao Zishan passed through two locked iron doors guarded by sentries and entered the computing building. According to the surveillance materials provided by the Political Security Bureau. Xin Wuzui's office is on the third floor.
The light in the corridors and corridors is bright and even a bit dazzling - it can be seen that the construction company has used various techniques to maximize the use of natural light. Even regular window sizes are much larger than normal construction. On a sunny day like today, black sunscreen nets were hung on the windows. It feels very strange.
The hallway was filled with the crackle of abacus and the whirring of a hand-cranked computer. From time to time, naturalized citizen clerks hurried past in the corridor pushing carts piled with documents and books.
There were no mainframes or servers in the rooms he walked through. Instead, they used a similar approach to the calculation center of the Department of Colonial Trade: the calculation tasks were broken down, and specially trained calculators used calculation tools such as hand calculations, abacus, and slide rules. The "human row computer" developed from the "computing pipeline" that performs calculations and then summarizes and processes the results.
Although the calculations performed by the computers in this building in one day are not equivalent to the calculations performed by a server in the Computing Center located in the tunnel of the Grand Library in one minute, such computing power is extremely valuable to Lingao. The limited number of dedicated servers has too much work to do, so all the simpler tasks are left to the human calculators here.
To prevent the paper from blowing away, the windows were covered with thick iron screens. The calculators are immersed in their work. Their drinking water is specially prepared by the Ministry of Health and is said to be refreshing. Invigorating effect. This special drink is served in a glass bottle. Place it in a sunken hole on the table. The mouth of the bottle is sealed and a straw is inserted into it. This way they can drink water directly without using their hands. A female orderly was busy in the calculation room: moving away the papers that had been completed. They were given new calculation problems, and from time to time they were given new drinking water and wiped sweat with towels.
It was very hot in the room, and naturally there was no electric fan. Fortunately, the huge windows brought enough wind, and the temperature in the mountainous area itself was several degrees lower than in other places. There is also a large wooden tub in the house, which contains large chunks of ice.
This scene reminded Xiao Zishan of the sweatshop workshops of the old days. He walked slowly up to the third floor. Another iron door appeared at the end of the corridor on the third floor.
He rang the bell next to the iron door, and a guard opened the small window on the iron door from inside.
Xiao Zishan took out his highest level special pass. The iron door opened with a sound. The sentry saluted: "Chief!"
"Nothing," Xiao Zishan waved his hand lightly, "Let me check the situation here. What is the place inside?"
"Department Office of the Director of Finance. Chief!"
Any code name used is confidential. Xiao Zishan knew that this was where Xin Wuzui worked, but he still asked: "Is there a chief working here?"
"There is a Chief Xin."
The corridor behind the iron gate is about ten meters long, with doors on both sides. There are no large windows here, only long and narrow skylights on the ceiling that let in light. Xiao Zishan noticed that all the doors were "security doors" manufactured by Lingao, which showed that the confidentiality level here was very high. There was either a large amount of confidential information or first-level control equipment and materials brought from the old time and space.
He knew there were people in the room from the soft sounds of voices and the sounds of typewriters and calculators that often came from behind the closed door, but these people were not of interest to him.
The door of the last office was ajar, letting out bright light.
He opened the door and one of the four black men was sitting there.
Xin Wuzui had not changed much from when he saw him at the previous trial. He still looked like a delinquent, middle-aged, literary and elegant person. Even the Italian suit has the same straight lines as before.
Xin Wuzhen was not working. He was leaning on a wicker chair and flipping through a booklet the size of a magazine. He held the book in his right hand and gently flipped through it one by one with his left hand. On his finger was a diamond-encrusted ring.
Xiao Zishan coughed lightly.
He stopped and raised his head.
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if his staring eyes could make a low sound. He recalled the several high-end business cocktail parties he had attended. Business elites wearing high-end Italian suits with white collars and cuffs and cufflinks had such eyes.
"Director Xiao." He spoke softly, even very pleasantly, but his tone was cold, polite and reserved, "What brought you to my place?"
"Dongfeng." Xiao Zishan smiled, "As the director of the general office, it is my job to care about the life of every veteran."
Xin Wuzui put down the pamphlet in his hand, and then Xiao Zishan saw clearly that it was a "comprehensive" magazine that had just started trial publication recently - "Time Life Weekly".
The magazine was Wen Xuankou's suggestion, but Xiao Zishan knew that it was edited and published by Pan Panli. Because the magazine's readers are elders, life secretaries and naturalized citizens, "the core group of the new society", and its mission is to spread "Australian lifestyle, cultural concepts and ideas", it was easily recognized by the Planning Institute. of approval.
However, this magazine has just released a trial issue of less than 20 copies, and it is only available for "trial reading" on a small scale. How could Xin Wuzui, who was almost isolated from the world, achieve anything?
"Please sit down." Xin Wuzui gestured, "Would you like some tea? Thanks to you, I have everything here.")
