Dufo has never met Igor. If he knew that the guy who harassed him at the station was Igor, maybe he would be driving the other person's car on his way back to Odis City now. After a little hesitation, Dufo accepted Igor's invitation. After the two returned to Igor's office and sat down, the other party poured him a cup of tea.
At this time, Dufo was still thinking about how to get Igor out quietly. After all, the other party is the director of the telegraph office. If it causes any disturbance, it will definitely not be a trivial matter. Not only will the local city hall investigate the matter, but local gangs will also take action. Dufo is not worried about the official investigation. Apart from knowing how to act according to the rules, those idiots simply don't know or understand anything else.
He was worried about the gangs, and as a former member of one he knew how "terrible" they were. Maybe an inconspicuous homeless man on the roadside, or an old man who looks like he's taking a rest, could be one of their spies. When they were in Tenel, if Camille hadn't grabbed his pigtails through a homeless man, it would have been impossible to catch them off guard.
Although the matter was finally resolved with Kevin's efforts and the homeless man's mistaken confession, it was enough to wake everyone up. In every corner of the city, There is a pair of eyes observing and watching this city.
The sound of the coffee tray touching the coffee table brought him back to his senses. He leaned forward slightly, said thank you, and leaned against the back of the sofa.
Igor stood opposite him, holding a coffee cup in his hand. After hesitating for a while, he made his request.
It was the first time he encountered such a thing, and he felt a little fresh and a little disgusting at the same time. He pretended to be very interested, discussed the details, and stood up to leave. They agreed to have dinner together at Igor's house that evening.
After leaving the telegraph office, Dover contacted the two contractors Natalie had contacted. They had a very good attitude. Not only did they entertain Duffer properly, they even planned to take him out to play. After declining their kindness, Dufo invited them to send representatives to Otis City for on-site inspection before making a conclusion. Because the current Audis are changing every day, these people's old concepts of Audis can no longer keep up with the real situation.
Under such circumstances, they still quoted the price based on the old memory of the city of Otis, which is unfair and irresponsible to them and the city hall of Otis. The two contractors immediately agreed and said they would immediately send people to Otis City for on-site inspection, and finally contact the Otis City Hall directly.
After contacting the two contractors respectively, the sky gradually turned dark. After declining the kind invitation from one of them, Dufo found his home according to the time agreed between him and Igor.
His family lives in the western part of Namirindes, which is also the upper part of the city. This is close to the main stream of the Saudorn River. In order to improve the layout of the urban environment, real estate developers and the local city hall dug an artificial lake next to Xicheng District and introduced water from the Saudorn River into the artificial lake. middle. Therefore, Xicheng District became the Upper City District. Although there were no mountains to rely on, the entire city surrounded Linders Lake, and the people who lived here were either rich or noble.
Every house here is separated by at least twenty meters, and every house has a large yard, which is between ordinary houses and villas. Before knocking on the door, Dufo saw Igor's neighbor, an old man who looked to be about sixty years old. He coughed hard, but the old man was indifferent. He looked at the dark window again, then straightened his tie, held a bottle of fruit wine, and knocked on Igor's door.
The person who opened the door was his wife, a very gentle woman with a friendly smile and not looking old. She looked like she was in her mid-thirties. She enthusiastically brought a pair of slippers for Dufo and pointed out the wardrobe room for him. While thanking him, she took the fruit wine he brought from Dufo's hand.
Dufo looked at the house. The decoration in the house was pretty good, a little worse than luxurious, but definitely not low-end. There was no sound of children playing in the room, which made him feel a little relieved. Igor came over wearing home clothes and took him into the living room.
There is a TV in the living room. He and Du Lin learned this term. It is playing a program produced by "Empire Star Media Company", twice a month. This issue should be the latest, because I haven’t read any of the content in it, and that damn place in Otis doesn’t even sell TVs. He saw two guys in suits pointing at each other's noses and swearing at each other.
This should be a current affairs program. Before Dulin left Ilian, not only the new party contacted him, but also members of the old party contacted him. They all expressed their desire to be on his program to promote themselves and the top class of the entire empire to the middle class and the top of society. own political ideas. Du Lin naturally agreed to their request, but in order to increase the focus, with the approval of both parties, he put the new party and the old party together.
The effect of the program was indeed what Dulin expected. After the two sides calmed down for a while, they began to abuse each other, attacking each other's governance concepts and political ambitions, and also attacking the other party's platform. Although the show is a bit confusing, I have to say that people like to watch it. Maybe the reason why they like to watch it is not because of the abuse or even fighting between the two parties, but because people find that the so-called politicians are not very different from themselves.
Igor was sitting on the sofa, looking very relaxed. He was holding a piece of muffin that he had taken a bite of. He pointed at the old party members on the TV and said: "These people are full of old ideas from the past." They even want to artificially create an 'elite' for the current society to separate the confusing class concepts in society. This is simply a throwback to the times!"
It can be seen that Igor is very opposed to this idea, but what he doesn't know is that the middle-class and upper-class people who are watching the show like him are not completely unanimous in thinking that this is wrong behavior. Some people, and There are quite a few people who think this idea is good.
This is the truly mainstream voice. As the main contributors to society and the elites who support all aspects of society, as the largest group of vested interests in the empire, there are always some people who will have the idea of being "superior" to others. The idea put forward by the politician of the old party on TV just meets the social and spiritual needs of these people. They hope that they are different from ordinary people.
Duffer watched TV for a long time. Some of these programs were watched with tape, and some were watched live. He also had a little understanding of these things. He just smiled at Igor's statement, thought for a moment and replied, "If there was no such demand, he would not come up with this idea."
This is the buyer's market that Dulin told him. Politicians, people and the political arena are no different from the market. When the market needs something, merchants will take the initiative to sell it. When there is such demand in society, these politicians will peddle these concepts that fit a certain group of people, win the votes of these people, and turn them into their own. Party supporters.
Igor glanced at Dufo in surprise. Being able to say this meant that the other party also had a certain understanding of politics. He was just surprised and didn't refute anything. Soon the current affairs program turned into a sitcom with shit and piss all at once.
In this era of serious lack of family entertainment, this kind of melodrama has become the motivation for most people to buy tape. In a previous return survey, 63% of buyers thought it would be best to have a separate roll of tape every week, all used to play sitcoms, and they were willing to pay an extra one per month for this. Hundreds of dollars. It is said that Dulin has agreed, and Freina is preparing for this.
After about a minute or two of embarrassing laughter, Igor started laughing. He shook his head while laughing, "This kind of thing can corrode people's souls. Do you believe it? If one day, every day Everyone can see these things. I believe many people don’t even have to work anymore and just stay at home and watch these things.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his wife poked her head out from the living room and said, "You can eat now."
Igor breathed a sigh of relief, patted his legs and stood up, leading Dufo into the restaurant, and said as if to explain: "The children have all gone to my parents' place, and there are only three of us tonight! "
After the three of them sat down, Igor behaved nothing like his normal self. He was very humorous and considerate, and could always make everyone laugh. If he hadn't heard the other party say that with his own ears, Du Fu would have thought it was his own imagination.
People tend to drink too much when their moods fluctuate greatly. In addition, Igor replaced the fruit wine that Dufo brought with his own high-altitude wine, and all three of them became a little tipsy. Especially his wife, who drank the most and her eyes were a little stiff. When she tried to stand up and add some main dishes for everyone, she sat back heavily and fell unconscious on the table.
"Come on, help me." Igor picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, waving to Dufo, "Help me get her to the bedroom!"
Dufo also wiped his mouth and hands, and together they added Igor's wife, went upstairs, and threw her on the bed in the bedroom.
Igor also patted his wife's cheek, making sure that she was completely drunk before looking at Dufo, calmly as if nothing had happened, "Are you going to take a bath?"
Dufo smiled and lowered his head. Igor also lowered his head curiously and followed his gaze. He saw a fist!
