On this day, Song Lan understood another philosophy of life.
When chopping vegetables, you should concentrate on it and don’t always think about what you have and what you don’t have.
Zhuang Chi and others failed to answer his questions. In 2167, when cooking skills were withered, they could only eat like everyone else and could not distinguish the ingredients at all. Song Lan finally took the cut potatoes with a sense of luck. The silk was put into the pot.
Maybe there was no ginger in these ingredients to begin with.
Or maybe when he was absent-minded, Jiang was taken away by a small wild animal similar to a night heron.
Unfortunately, by the time Song Lan realized this problem, it was already too late.
Lu Xiang did not have an attack in front of everyone. After taking a big mouthful of ginger shreds without any precautions, she calmly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and drank a full mouthful before Zhuang Chi and others suffered any harm. The plate of hot and sour potato shreds was confiscated.
She discovered that the Slowpoke had become more and more bold since arriving in District 4.
First, he framed her "broom star" physique on the phone, and now he even "poisoned" her favorite potato shreds.
"You can come to my tent after dinner."
…
When Song Lan opened his eyes again, the noon sun was already high in the sky. The first moment he woke up, the unique spicy taste of ginger filled his taste buds, making him sleepless.
Next to the mattress of the tent were several empty plastic mineral water bottles - this was the result of his and Lu Xiang's battle last night.
The cold and cruel Lu Xiang can always come up with some terrible methods.
In line with the principle of not wasting food, she brought the plate of hot and sour potato shreds mixed with a lot of "land mines" into the tent. Potatoes were her favorite food, and they were the fruits of Song Lan's busy night's work. There was no way she could just dump the dish.
But as the head of the law enforcement department, she will never let any "bad guy" go.
So, Lu Xiang came up with a punishment game.
Inspired by a game called Russian Roulette, she slightly modified the rules of the game to make tasting spicy and sour potato shreds full of suspense, tension and excitement.
With Song Lan's superb knife skills, it is almost impossible to distinguish ginger shreds from potato shreds through sight, but it is much easier to use taste buds.
She moved two small chairs and sat face to face with Song Lan.
The specific rules of the game are that whenever she takes a big bite of ginger, she will feed the other person the ginger herself, so that he can feel the same.
Song Lan, who was not good at eating spicy food, was seriously injured and even had a nightmare of being chased by Ginger after falling asleep.
"You finally woke up."
Seeing Song Lan open her eyes, Lu Xiang thoughtfully handed over half a bottle of mineral water.
Russian roulette is a game where you can injure the enemy by one thousand and lose yourself eight hundred. She understands how Song Lan feels at this moment.
"Teacher Catherine sent a message this morning. The military technology people have been withdrawn. They will not be able to take care of the fourth area in a short time."
After losing control of the "Sea of Souls" and the giant robot hidden underground in the city was destroyed, the company really had no need to stay. "Guan Lili submitted her resignation application, and the top management of Kolo Films also temporarily reconciled, Their main goal next is to rebuild District 4.”
This is undoubtedly a huge project. The founder also spent several years during his tenure to build this place into a dream city. Even for a large company of the size of Kolo Pictures, it is difficult to make a comeback. Difficulties abound.
Two years, five years or more.
Districts 1 and 2 serve as lessons learned from the past and provide a reference for the construction team in District 4.
Song Lan took a sip of mineral water and looked up at Lu Xiang.
The corners of Lu Xiang's mouth raised, revealing a sarcastic and malicious smile, "So far, you have directly or indirectly destroyed the three core cities of the coalition government, sweep - the star -"
And he also selected the most prosperous cities.
The political center of the coalition government, the commercial and entertainment center, and the castle that the conservatives are most proud of are now history.
Compared with what Song Lan did, what the resistance forces in the "outside world" did was no different than playing house. Even the few terrorists who "left their names in history" in the past were only blown up with micro nuclear bombs at best. The company's building was destroyed, and the damage and losses caused were less than one-thousandth of that of the stupid bird.
Song Lan, on the other hand, felt that Lu Xiang had learned something bad from someone, and RT6 was currently his number one suspect.
Lu Xiang's expression and the deliberately prolonged ending gave him the auditory hallucination of "miscellaneous fish" in his ears.
This is not a good practice.
Before Song Lan could speak, Lu Xiang continued, "Also, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into them when you were a teacher?"
"Ah? What kind of ecstasy soup?"
"Veronica, the eldest lady's parents are executives in the counter-intelligence department. Now she hopes to get a job as a law enforcer with us, saying she wants to go deep into the people at the bottom."
You don't need to think about it to know how her parents would react when they heard that the daughter they had worked so hard to cultivate was going to be an ordinary law enforcer in a border city.
She had a headache when she thought about this, "Perhaps they will use their connections to reduce our expenses, or use other means to help us wear small shoes."
Miss Hannah, who idles around all day and enjoys sightseeing in the 17th District and the "outside world", is already a trouble. The people from the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau can't find Hannah, so they come to her office every now and then to talk to her. Playing the bitterness card and nagging how stressful the Bureau of Investigation's work has been recently, without Hannah as their right-hand man, it's no different than pushing them into a pit of fire.
As for Miss Veronica, she said that she wanted to learn from them, and it would be best to apply for a job in the Publicity Department, which made Lu Xiang's eyes darken even more.
What can you learn from going to the Publicity Department!
Can Slowpoke be treated casually?
Lu Xiang could already foresee that Veronica and Hannah would form a "travel duo" after arriving in District 17, and they would never see anyone again for a month.
"The people in the counter-intelligence department and the investigation bureau have learned to be smart. They know that force is not enough. Every time they send low-level agents to play the pity card on us, and last time they sent one with a broken arm."
Although the poor detective didn't say it clearly, what he said was that their senior thug Hanna was missing. At the critical moment, they could only be killed by poor little staff like them. While pouring out the bitterness, they also He did not forget to praise the recent great achievements of the law enforcement department, so much that Lu Xiang wanted to drive him out several times but did not have the heart to speak.
As expected of public officials of large companies and coalition governments, their strategies are ever-changing and their actions are becoming increasingly cunning.
"Lao Lu, you are still too young when it comes to making friends."
Hearing this, Song Lan took the initiative to take on the task of being a wise general in the law enforcement department of the 17th District, and advised the supervisor, "Making friends is mutual. Next time they send someone to come, take the initiative to attack. Before he can speak, you will ask him." He complained that there is also a very bad employee in our department. He often doesn’t see anyone for half a month. Even if he occasionally goes to the office, he always watches movies during work, with a carefree attitude. He uses this as an entry point. I believe you can Find a lot of common language.”
If it were him, he would soon be able to talk to the Bureau agent who had broken his arm and talk to him about everything. Maybe after they got off work, they could invite Corey's people to get together at a nearby bar.
Of course, he doesn't drink alcohol and will drink juice instead.
"How can you say this without changing your face?"
Lu Xiang's eyelids twitched violently.
Maybe Song Lan was right, social interaction was indeed her weakness, especially since she couldn't be as shameless as Song Lan to beautify her absenteeism as a contribution to the department.
"Because I always make friends sincerely."
"I……"
Lu Xiang took a deep breath.
She suddenly understood why humans invented tools like hammers.
When verbal communication fails, you can only express your feelings by hitting the other person on the forehead with a hammer.
If it weren't for her reluctance, she would probably get violent and hurt someone.
"Veronica is not the only trouble. Now the contestants of this program and a group of members of the search and rescue team are sending their resumes to us. Shaw Grant heard about the turbulent situation in the 'outside world' and seems to have He plans to stay in District 17 and establish long-term relationships with us."
Lu Xiang paused and added, "There is also Guan Lili. Although she is not looking for a job, she came to me in the middle of the night and asked me a lot about house buying information in the 17th District. She wants to buy a house in the 17th District."
The current situation in District 4 is unclear, and widespread destruction has left many people jobless.
Thanks to word of mouth, District 17 seems to be their first choice.
Lu Xiang never dreamed that one day District 17 would be able to attract people from core cities to settle in with the promotion of "low crime rate", "unsophisticated folk customs", "living and working in peace and contentment", and "many employment opportunities".
"This fully demonstrates your outstanding contribution to District 17 as the supervisor. What a beautiful thing!"
Song Lan became energetic. "Think about what District 17 was like before. The crime rate and unemployment rate remained high. There were endless criminals with sky-high bounties. No one was willing to come to District 17 to find a job."
Under such circumstances, the prosecutor, Ms. Angel Foster, was still planning to erect a statue for herself in the downtown square.
Song Lan felt that people should build a statue for Lu Xiang.
Or at least the changes she brought to District 17 should be written into the local history.
From a historian's perspective, two people made outstanding contributions to the changes in District 17.
People in District 17 should always commemorate the names of Lu Xiang and Chai Ke. The change in the entire city began from the moment Mr. Chai Ke sacrificed himself.
"Instead, we should take this opportunity to widely recommend them to settle down and work in District 17."
There are many company people in the search and rescue team, and their arrival can attract the attention of more companies to a certain extent. "This is what we often call attracting investment."
"Then I will have to stay in the bureau to handle official business for a long time, and I won't be able to accompany you to the 'outside world'."
With so many people suddenly added to the bureau, all departments must be expanded.
Although Lu Xiang did not exclude these, she thought of the invitation extended by "Nothing" to Song Lan, "The 'outside world' is not peaceful now. When the remnants of the high-level parliament were handed over before, the foreign dispatch department also brought back a piece of news Recently, the rebels seem to be gathering in the seventh neutral country intentionally or unintentionally. Several of them are extremists and extremely hate the people of the coalition government. The foreign affairs department believes that the leader of the rebels is planning to hold a meeting."
"Are you worried about me?"
"Um."
Lu Xiang nodded seriously, "There may be female resistance cadres with big breasts at the meeting."
"puff--!"
Song Lan couldn't catch her breath and sprayed the water all over the floor before she could swallow it, followed by a violent cough.
Zhuangchi!
It was all because of the nonsense she was talking on the phone that he was inexplicably interested in the "big breasts" attribute!
When he finishes what he is doing, the bonus must be deducted!
Song Lan must clarify that she is upright and not interested in these heretical things.
If you don’t believe it, you can check his browsing history at home. Every time the website pushes content to him on the home page, he will be marked as not interested.
Lu Xiang stared down at him, and before he could catch his breath, he added, "And there may also be escorts wearing nano-tight combat uniforms."
"Is the source of the information reliable?... Well, I mean whenever they show up, I try to avoid them."
Unfortunately, Song Lan's supplementary explanation failed to gain Lu Xiang's trust.
She really knew this stupid bird very well. She had a set of combat uniforms at home. She had used the combat uniforms to conduct many tests and confirmed that this was Song Lan's weakness.
"When you get to the seventh neutral country, you have to call and report every day."
"Compared with this, aren't you worried that I will be captured by human traffickers?"
Song Lan protested, "I heard people say that human traffickers are rampant in the Seventh Neutral Kingdom. Many people in the Seventeenth District were deceived into going there. It was said that it would make them rich, but in fact it was to control their personal freedom and make them Black labor! Those who try to sneak away are brutally murdered and their entrails are auctioned on the black market if they are caught."
On this issue, Song Lan, who has been battling with fraud gangs for many years, has a strong say.
He has always been the anti-fraud expert in the department.
"When you say that, it does happen."
Lu Xiang put his left hand on his chin and fell into thinking.
Not only in District 17, the trading of human organs from the "outside" has always been a big problem. Considering Song Lan's physique, he should be the type who is easily bagged by criminals even when walking on the street.
After a moment, she said, "If you don't have enough money to go out, just call me and apply, and I will transfer it to you. Although the Seventh Neutral Country is not under the legal control of the coalition government, human trafficking is an extremely bad crime after all."
"……ah?"
"Don't imitate them."
Small theater its two hundred and forty-nine:
Friday, a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, afternoon
After the love seminar, Hannah immediately informed Song Lan about Lu Xiang's abnormal behavior.
At the seminar, regardless of whether it was true feelings or not, all members highly agreed with Lu Xiang's views and agreed that she was a lively and lovely person.
"Lao Song, Lao Lu, has she been stimulated by something recently? The battle at that time was like putting a gun to our heads and asking us if she was cute!"
Hannah's voice sounded frightened.
"What did you say?"
"Of course she is cute. Anyone who dares to say she is not cute will probably be invited to the counter-intelligence department for tea that night!"
"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Lu is not a person who avenges private matters."
"She's not, but you should pay attention to her mental state from time to time. We ended the meeting without even discussing a single topic today. Seriously, what happened to her today?"
"Probably because there are people in the 'outside' saying bad things about her."
"What bad words?"
"Said she was a cruel and cruel ruler."
"Oh? I think this fits the first impression she gives people."
"Don't talk nonsense. She has been very sensitive to this description recently...but you reminded me that I should take action."
"Have you got an idea?"
"I'm going to create a Lu Xiang praise group. Does anyone over there sign up to join?"
