After hearing about Tan Si's past, Xu Qian felt a sigh of relief. Previously, Tan Siji tried his best to badmouth himself on live TV. He regarded him as the first person among the four people who least wanted to communicate at dawn. Now it seems that this person has experienced such a painful past, and it seems that he has Quite understandable.
Zhu Yi took out a set of seats with ready-made wine sets already placed on them.
"Brother Xu Qian, let's listen to stories while drinking, okay?"
Xu Qian looked at the pot of wine and still had lingering fears about the cup of tea before.
Zhu Yi obviously saw through his thoughts, and said with a gentle smile: "Don't worry, this time I drank with my brother, there is no problem."
Yuan Er helped from the side: "This is Zhu Yi's treasured wine. It was the wine that Shun returned from the last trip to the immortal Immortal. Many big shots in the Sixteenth Domain also coveted this wine! It can be said that it has a price but no market. ah!"
Before Xu Qian could speak, Zhang San and Tan Si, who had hid far away, perhaps smelled the aroma of wine, and suddenly appeared on their seats at the same time.
If he didn't have a deep dislike for Li Xiao, Xu Qian would even feel like having a drink with a few old friends at this moment. He sighed softly and sat down.
He was still willing to listen to the story.
The four of them drank the contents of the cup in one gulp, and then all four of them looked at Xu Qian. Xu Qian thought for a moment and took out a cup, which shocked the four of them.
Xu Qian didn't find a small wine glass in the only storage space he had. He only had a large cup for drinking beer, but he didn't dare to use the cup given by the other party, so he had to make do with it.
There is a table of people drinking, and one person comes up with a cup that is dozens of times bigger than the others. How does this table feel?
"Brother Xu Qian, are you... trying to make me poor?"
Only then did Xu Qian realize that taking out this cup could easily cause a misunderstanding, so he could only explain: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that this cup has feelings after being used for a long time. I use it for everything I drink."
Such a clumsy statement is not easy to believe, but Xu Qian's next move completely explained his intention of bringing out the cup.
He gave the glass of wine in front of him to Yuan Er beside him, then picked up the wine glass and poured himself a small amount of wine, only a small amount of wine was poured into the big glass.
Zhu Yi burst out laughing, "So you're still worried about me doing something in the wine! Whatever... whatever!"
Yuan Er also smiled and said at the same time: "Next, let me continue to talk. After hearing our story and knowing our past, maybe you will change your mind about us."
Zhang San was a grassroots public servant in the age of immortals. Such a job was considered very good among ordinary people at that time. Unexpectedly, after jumping out of his native planet and entering another cosmic plane, he still got into public office.
This is a medium-sized city with a special product called Huoyi Flower. The Huoyi Flower is not pretty, but it is an important raw material for several precious elixirs. That year, Zhang San's planet signed an agreement with another planet to purchase those types of elixirs in large quantities. As a result, the demand for Huoyihua suddenly increased a lot.
If it is just internal demand, it doesn't matter how much it can produce. Under the operation of economic laws, prices just change. It can involve large-scale external orders. For the officials of that planet, it has become a task that must be completed.
The city where Zhang San is located has been assigned a certain amount of output tasks, and Huo Yihua's output needs to be tripled within the specified time. Although the requirements above are somewhat harsh, the local people can still do it despite their hard work. In addition, the purchase price is good, so the hard work is a bit hard, and few people complain.
Planting fairy plants also requires fertilization and watering. The largest local plant fertilizer merchant was so greedy that he sold a large number of inferior plant fertilizers as substandard ones. Problems soon occurred. Most of the Huoyi flower seedlings that used these plant fertilizers died. .
Originally it was not a big deal. If this kind of thing were placed in China, it would be a lawsuit between vegetable farmers and fertilizer companies. But in Zhang San's case, because it involved a large-scale transaction, when the officials initially promised to purchase at a high price, they also imposed a tenfold fine as a penalty for failure to deliver as scheduled. The Huoyi flower seedlings are gone, and it is no longer possible to deliver the goods as scheduled and in quantity. These Huoyi flower growers naturally want to ask for an explanation. The responsibility cannot be all theirs!
The person behind the fertilizer business is actually the city's top official, which is not uncommon. After the incident happened, the chief faced two choices - let the people take the blame or the businessmen take the blame. If the merchants were held responsible, it would be difficult for him to disentangle himself from the investigation, so he chose to stand completely against the growers without hesitation. As a result, the conflicts between growers and merchants became more and more serious, leading to violent conflicts. However, the city management department, which was supposed to be an impartial third party, completely favored the merchants at this time, leading to an escalation of conflicts.
Zhang San accidentally learned the truth and sympathized with the farmers who had been deceived and bullied. This matter originally had nothing to do with him. He was just an ordinary public official sent by the government. But he knew that it was impossible for these growers to seek justice in this city, so he couldn't bear to talk to these growers in private and asked them to seek solutions from higher-level official departments. The disaster just reached Zhang San.
The growers believed it and went there, but before they could go far, they were escorted back by the city's army. Violence also occurred during the period, and several plantation representatives died.
Planting Huoyi flowers is the economic backbone of this city. Planters account for 20% of the city's population. Together with relevant stakeholders, relatives and friends, the planters are quite powerful. At this point, things have gotten out of hand. . The highest officer was also flustered. He had to find someone to bear the anger of the people, so he found the talkative Zhang San. Zhang San was defined overnight as the culprit who deliberately spread rumors and instigated people to confront the government.
In the report, it was revealed that Zhang San was guilty. He was the one who sold low-quality fertilizer to growers for high profits. He was the one who stirred up conflicts between the government and the people in order to transfer responsibility. He was also the one who used a lot of violence to suppress the growers. The angry and helpless growers really needed a vent at this time, and Zhang San was also someone they could see and touch, so he became the outlet for the growers to vent their emotions, and he was also the official target of blame.
Zhang San was soon fired from his official position, and his home was smashed by angry people. Even when he was walking on the street, as long as someone recognized him, he would be surrounded and abused by a large group of people. Everyone learned that he had been Everyone felt happy about his expulsion and said he deserved it. Because he lost his official position, the daring ones began to beat him. Zhang Sanyi did not fight back at first. The pain in his heart made him despair, as if he had lost consciousness of everything.
More and more people gathered to demand justice and openness. The city administrator actually sent a large number of military police to suppress it. In the end, as expected, a bloody conflict broke out. The officer planned to kill as a warning and carry out a bloody suppression. This was not the case in the Star Alliance. It is allowed under the Emergency Response Act.
In the chaos, Zhang San picked up a lost child not far away. The child who was not supposed to be here and his parents were scattered by the crowd. The crying aroused the child's compassion. . He picked up the child, but was hit by the army's indiscriminate psychic bullet suppression. When he fell to the ground, he used his body to protect the child from being trampled. Later, the crowd fled and the army withdrew. The children's parents found their children, but they punched and kicked Zhang San because the child's fingers were stepped on before Zhang San could protect them. They thought it was Zhang San who caused their children to be injured. harm.
After that, Zhang San left the city and even the planet. A few years later, he met Zhu Yi.
After Xu Qian listened to Yuan Er's narration, he looked sympathetically at Zhang San, who was sitting opposite him. Zhang San picked up the wine glass and said calmly: "Those are all old things. Fortunately, Yuan Er brought them out and talked about them. I have almost forgotten them all. Saying these useless things is not as interesting as a glass of wine, Xu Come on, let’s have a drink.”
Xu Qian picked up the wine glass without hesitation, clinked the glasses with Zhang San and took a sip.
Unknowingly, these stories did bring him closer to these four people.
