The journey back is like life on a cruise ship. After the initial excitement, you always have to find something to do.
Lu Pingping soon discovered that this return trip was different from the last trip to the Silent Mountains.
When we returned last time, most of the teams were busy with their own business. Even if they had free time, they would talk to their own people. If they went out occasionally, they would only do transactions.
But this time, there are not many barriers between teams and individuals, and the veterans are much friendlier...
"We've been shot together, we've shouldered guns together..."
The principle is this. If you have been in a trench, the new recruits may have seen you rolling around on the ground trying to survive, so there is no need to put on airs or anything like that.
They all have a comrade-in-arms relationship, and they all have enough time to get bored, so they communicate and chat naturally.
For veterans, this is an opportunity to exchange experiences, but for newcomers and low-level professionals, it is a rare exchange event.
They had the opportunity to see a rare duel between the powerful men of the law in the past, as well as review and analysis of the battle, and understand the world and fighting thoughts of high-level professionals.
They can also gain a lot of professional experience and combat experience from the exchanges and chats between veterans.
The battlefield is probably the most suitable "socializing" place for warriors.
In a sense, the four-city official's goal of "expecting the partial official combat capabilities of each city to achieve cooperation and unity" can be considered accomplished... although the price paid was obviously higher than expected.
Of course, it is also because most of them have official backgrounds, which makes communication possible... At least they know that the opponents they "befriend" will not become their enemies.
Naturally, newcomers gain more from the exchanges between old and new, but the exchanges between veterans do not necessarily suffer.
Most professionals are self-disciplined, because those who are not self-disciplined have been eliminated in various ways. People in the Lupingan team have also naturally integrated into it.
During the stress-free return trip, most of them completed the communication with a relatively peaceful attitude. Many people exchanged contact information and even became friends... And on the way there, even if everyone was equally free, He is still trapped in his familiar environment.
Everyone...at least most people feel obvious gains.
And no matter how long the journey is, there is a moment at the end, when the familiar planet appears in front of us again, and human beings finally recall their desires...
"We're home..."
----------
----------
"Tsk, before you go home, you have to wait for security check and tax filing. What kind of hell joke is this?"
It's still the familiar environment, the silver-white tower and the lobby.
Only this time, it was not in the state capital, but in Xiao'an City, the starting point.
It can be seen that this tower is also modeled after the state capital, and it seems to have been recently built.
"Warmly welcome the Four Cities Exploration Group back with a full load... What the hell is this?"
Looking from the outer window of the tower, you can see welcoming slogans, as well as buses and trucks.
Lu Ping'an saw the minibus with a special license plate. It seemed that many city government personnel and officials were also here.
Thinking about it, this is the first big four-city joint operation. The return has been at least half a month later than expected, so it is normal to come to "pick up".
However, judging from the "staff" rushing down from their side and the suspected quarrel below, the officials were also confused by the unexpected situation.
"Just wait, don't rush..."
Having already had the experience of returning to "isolation", the group is not in a hurry.
As a "tycoon", Lu Ping'an, after returning here, is also the quasi-captain of a special service team... He hopes to be less troublesome, so naturally he doesn't want to take the initiative to find trouble.
I'm afraid, the officials are still eager to understand the situation... They estimate that they are still waiting for the results of the "hunting of the mythical beast".
"Pfft, look at that sign, 'Warmly celebrating the return of hunters from the Four Cities', 'Mythical beast? It's just a bigger prey'..."
"They probably really didn't expect it..."
Chaos naturally continued. The leaders who came to pick up the plane and give speeches had just received the news about the "war" and were completely confused.
Lu Ping'an is not in a hurry, just do whatever you have to do. Anyway, Director Fang has already submitted the petition for tax reduction and so on. Now it's time for the officials to consider how to end it.
He wanted to show off, but obviously, as "the most handsome guy in this incident", he couldn't escape.
Soon, he was handed over, and together with Wang Xier and others, he was questioned and asked by the mayors, directors and others.
We have already made preparations here, including video and audio materials. A month's journey is enough to make a documentary.
By talking and gesticulating, Director Fang demonstrated his ability and expressed the dilemma at that time...
"Actually, we are already desperate. We are all..."
In short, it mainly shows the despair of the scene, the madness of the Os people, and the struggle of our heroes.
The decision-makers mentioned were stunned by this sudden development. They probably really didn't expect that this normal exploration would turn into a star war.
Seeing that the general trend was okay and no idiot jumped out to question it, Lu Ping'an stood up.
He had no interest in wasting time in meetings, but before leaving, he dropped a few words.
"My team has something to do, so I'm leaving first... By the way, don't forget about the tax refund."
The last sound, deliberately amplified, is very obvious.
At that moment, Director Fang, who had not yet said this, froze.
"Tax refund? What tax refund?"
"How can I get a tax refund? Who promised it?"
There was a chaos later, but Lu Pingan was too lazy to care... He knew that once he fell into this bureaucratic rhythm, he would probably have to struggle in the next few days and face endless questions and doubts, so it was better to jump out and wait for the results directly.
Anyway, if your "abilities" are here, you will have everything you should have.
The development of the situation was just as Lu Ping An expected, and even a little more friendly than Lu Ping An expected.
"Young man, it's good to be ambitious! I heard that you have gained a lot this time. If you have time, talk to the young people in our city more, or work with us for a period of time?"
Senior officials from other cities came to him, expressed their friendship directly and poached people.
"Well done, I will award you a medal." Even the director of the Ancient City's Alien Management Bureau took the initiative to find Lu Ping'an and give him a "verbal commendation."
Wang Xier, on the other hand, was also passing on information about the "meeting" during the break.
In fact, the fact is very simple. All the high-level officials were frightened by this accident. After the restoration of the information, data, and Fang Chu and others, the desperate scene appeared in front of them.
"This time, most of the property in the four cities is lost. If it is really lost in a foreign land, let alone catching up with the state capital, don't even think about the average level of the state. From now on, everyone will ruin it together... .”
The mentality of fear, fear, and luck was there, and they naturally became a lot friendlier.
As for the tax refund and tax exemption mentioned by Lu Ping An? They are still negotiating. This is not something they can decide on at once. It requires specialized departments and procedures to communicate and negotiate (follow procedures).
"It should work..."
But judging from the signs revealed by Wang Xier, the problem is not big.
This was actually within Lu Ping'an's expectation.
After all, bureaucrats are mainly based on political performance. Being able to win a green planet is a great political achievement that can be shared by all participants.
And if everyone dies on the green planet... I'm afraid everyone will take the blame and become a negative representative of "reckless advancement" that leads to huge losses.
Now, not only has the worst situation been avoided, but a future has also been forged, which is a great blessing for policymakers.
Losses caused by tax exemption? In fact, it is not particularly important to the local authorities. "Taxation" is a long-term system. As long as the procedural requirements are met, a few missed incomes will have no impact.
As for local governments, as long as their finances are not in debt until they collapse, it actually doesn't matter... well, negative numbers are fine, since they can borrow money anyway.
】
On the contrary, if you cannot produce outstanding performance reports every year, it will be a big problem that will affect your future and (personal) development.
They can really afford to lose money, but they can't afford to lose trouble or time.
"Oh, it's an expected thing. There isn't much profit in the first place. Why not be a favor and encourage morale..."
However, Lu Pingan also estimates that as the "proposer", he must have become a thorn in the eyes of many people...
"That's not the case...Some people at the meeting said that you are too young and inexperienced. You must have been pushed out to be used as a gun. You can't let the little hero turn the tide..."
Well, Lu Ping'an was stuck all of a sudden. This was really beyond expectations.
Of course, he would not think that those people were confused about the situation and thought that there was really someone behind him, and that he was just a fool who was deceived... The spies in each city should have a complete report sent to the leaders. Before his death, his situation should have been completely leaked.
"What is black is white. Is this the value of the fourth level under 20 years old..."
The overly realistic development makes Lu Ping'an feel more and more strange.
Myself, are you being coaxed?
