"Hey, sir, what is your name? I can't always call you."
The little black girl looked around this 30-square-meter standard underground low-rent housing for immigrants. It's not neat and tidy at all like a place where a bachelor lives. This strange man is like a serial killer in a horror movie, neat, silent, and indifferent as if he didn't belong to this world.
"You can call me Lao Li." The man cherishes words like gold.
"You don't want to know what my name is?" The little black girl waited for a while without confessing to herself: "My name is Safina."
"I'm cooking now, you can eat together, and if you are still afraid of revenge from the Night Clan people, you can also live here until tomorrow morning."
"Or I'll pay you." The little black girl took out some change from her pocket, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Forget it, this money is also yours."
The man prepares supper skillfully, and the fragrance is not likely to diffuse.
The little black girl said at first that she didn't want to eat, but now she stretched her neck in anticipation.
"Lao Li, did you come from Dongying Province or South Korea?" Safina said to herself, looking at the men who came up with prepared meals at their own convenience, "You Asians all look the same, I It's not clear what kind of ethnicity or Goryeo ethnicity."
"You said that twenty years ago. The authentic descendants of Yanhuang and Huang could slap you with a big mouth." The man seemed to be interested in chatting, and said, "I am not an immigrant."
"You are not an immigrant, you still live in an immigrant low-rent housing?" Safina looked at the man in surprise, incredulous: "This house is not easy to apply for. There are 20 million immigrants in the capital, and more than half of them have no temporary residence quota. The migrants who want to apply for an immigrant low-rent housing index are just a few years away from waiting in line.” Then he said: “Also, what you just said is wrong. The Chinese civilization is an important part of the earth’s civilization, and we They are all heirs of the Chinese civilization. Because the common cultural beliefs have gathered in this great country, even the government has said that the world is unified and civil rights are supreme. No one is allowed to engage in racial discrimination, and neither behavior nor ideology is allowed to engage in segregation. "
Eight years ago, the China Civilization Alliance was established on the basis of the original Republic and became one of the three global superpowers. In order to attract the participation of other countries in the civilized circle, since its establishment, it has been vigorously advocating the universal unity, advocating the supremacy of civil rights, and resolutely declaring war on racism. In the following years, Vietnam, Dongying, Korea, Singapore and other nine countries have announced their accession. The alliance has become one of the provinces under the rule of the alliance.
The nine newly joined provinces implement a federal system of military and political integration, economic independence and autonomy.
In principle, Union citizens can live in any province within the Union without restriction.
Political integration allows the country to have more strategic resources and depth.
But at the same time, regional differences have brought about many contradictions. Many young people who are not satisfied with the status quo are more willing to choose a few big cities in the center of the alliance to pursue the value of life. In order to cope with the huge wave of immigration, the central government has strict immigration control systems for several highly densely populated cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai.
In order to facilitate management, in addition to the establishment of an immigration electronic information file for each immigrant who enters the city, a huge underground immigrant apartment has been built deep underground in the city. It is exclusively for immigrants from outside provinces to settle.
Although war has become a forbidden zone of civilization recognized by all countries in the world, the fusion weapon that destroys the world is still a sharp sword hanging on the head of mankind. In order to respond to possible threats, the three major alliances are developing high-energy shield technology, ready to respond to unpredictable crises at any time.
This kind of thing will always give priority to the big city as the political and economic center. Therefore, after the establishment of the alliance, wealthy people from other provinces flocked to cities that they thought were safer, and the resulting increase in urban housing prices remained high. Especially after the Tokyo incident broke out a year ago, after millions of Union citizens were wiped out overnight, the housing prices in the major central cities of the Union increased to an exaggerated level, and ordinary people simply wanted it out of reach.
Under the background of this era, standardization, low-rent housing for immigrants of only 30 square meters, seems inconspicuous, but it is the most sought-after scarce resource in this city. There are countless young people like Safina sleeping on the streets in the city. These young people go to work or study neatly during the day, and become urban wanderers at night. Public places such as subway stations, intercity high-altitude rail transit points are their homes.
In the eyes of Safina, applying for low-rent housing for immigrants from the government is absolutely out of reach. That's why she was so surprised and aggrieved.
"It's not as difficult as you think." The man handed a pair of chopsticks to Safina, and said: "It is impossible to do things in this country without abiding by the rules. It is even worse if you only know which rule to observe. You have to comply with the policy and also You have to have a plan."
Safina took the chopsticks and skillfully took a bite of the dish and put it in her mouth. After tasting it carefully, she couldn't help but praised: "Old Li, your cooking skills are incredible!"
"Your chopsticks are also good, and your accent is not heavy."
"I came from a province in Indonesia. I am a mixture of Maori and Mongolian nationalities. I originally lived in the Lion City. After my parents divorced, I followed my mother back to China." Safina said: "The reason why I am called Safina followed my mother's last name."
"I really didn't see it." The man seemed to be infected by her outgoing and unbridled way. He seldom smiled and joked: "Your father is a stubborn gene."
"Black people are just that powerful." Safina didn't care much about men joking about her father, and said with hatred: "He is a stupid bastard who ruined my mother's life and also harmed me."
"No matter how damn it is, after all, I gave birth to you. If you don't love, you don't have to hate it so much."
"That's right, my mother often persuades me like this, and said that it's all fate." The little black girl nodded openly, her anger seemed to be greater than resentment.
The man smiled again: "That's it, believe me, as long as conditions permit, there is no father in the world who does not love his children."
"It's as if you're someone from here." Safina stared at the man's young face. It was a face that seemed to be covered in a mist. It looked very young, and there was no trace of age at all, except for the pair. Deep and dull but as if reading through the vicissitudes of life in the eyes.
The man ignored her and bowed his head to eat. He eats slowly and calmly. In the end, he doesn't eat much, but he does a lot.
"Lao Li, you just said that it is easy to arrange such a low-rent house. I didn't understand that sentence. Can you tell me how you did it?" , Fully demonstrated the difference between the appetite of young people and middle-aged people.
"Simple, you first have to have an identity that meets the immigration convention on the use of low-rent housing." The man looked at her with a smile.
"I'm definitely qualified for this. I have half Chinese ancestry. According to the stipulated scoring mechanism, it is even higher." The little black girl said: "But you know how many homeless immigrants out there have higher ratings than me. How many are there?"
"The person in charge of this in our block is a white Kazakh named Thalia. Her husband is a chef and works in the main store of the Zhonghua Building." The man looked at the little black girl, remembering some past events, and suddenly worked hard. Continue to say: "I just walked through his back door, relying on pillow wind to do this."
"Oh." Safina was a little disappointed, and said: "But I have nothing, and there is no way to get to know the person you are talking about."
"What's your job?"
"I was supposed to be in school. My mother worked in Erlizhuang. We took a break during the day and worked at night. We couldn't pay the rent and could only work as stray immigrants." Safina made a gesture that you know. He said: "I was spotted by a few Ye Clan people a few days ago, and then I couldn't continue my studies."
Erlizhuang is a famous place of feasting and feasting. The function is similar to the eight hutongs in the late Qing Dynasty.
"You can live with me temporarily." The man stood up and said, "I will go out and find a special place to spend the night after I have eaten."
Safina froze for a moment, licked her lips, and said in a charm: "In fact, you don't have to leave. I'm willing to use other methods to pay for meals and overnight expenses."
"I was a father too." The man stayed unmoved and stood up, saying: "You come to pack the rest and lock the door. I will go out and walk around. I won't be back before ten o'clock tomorrow morning. ."
Wangfu Street, outside the main entrance of Jizhen Taoist Medical Center, a man a hundred meters away stopped under the shade of a tree on the opposite side of the road.
The lights in the medical hall were bright, and a new red flag maglev courtesy car came quickly and slowly stopped. People familiar with the wealthy circle in Beijing know that this is the exclusive car of Zhou Ping, the owner of the Zhonghualou Restaurant Group.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Ping got out of the car and shrank his neck. The people behind him immediately put on his coat.
"Zhou, why do you come to talk about this little thing in person." A man in a long shirt got out of the car from the co-pilot position and came to Zhou Ping's side with a diligent expression: "I really convinced you this time. What is dedication? What does it mean to do it yourself?"
"It was only this time that I was convinced, so you were not convinced in those previous rounds." Zhou Ping said very shamelessly.
The man in the long-shirt was immediately embarrassed and forced a hint of a smile. He laughed and said, "Zhou has always been so humorous, or how would I love to follow you."
"Is anyone there?" Zhou Ping interrupted his flattery and asked.
"It's all here, brothers, as you ordered, keep staring." The man in the long shirt said: "Zhou, I have to remind you that these two women are really beautiful, but they are not simple behind them. Some big people beat me. Hello, let's evacuate the surveillance person."
"Big guy?" Zhou Ping smiled: "How big a guy?"
"Mr. Ye." said the man in a long shirt: "The big boss of Jingxi Fenglin Night, seems to have been the director of the special adjustment office before."
"It's the deputy director." Zhou Ping paused, scratched his head, and said: "But you are right, Ye Hong is really a big man, this is a bit interesting, you can consider taking a look first." After that, he turned to the car. Walked inside.
"Zhou, don't you plan to touch it?" The man in the long sweater leaned over and asked.
Zhou Ping stopped his figure and looked at him suspiciously, with a cold tone in his doubts: "Lao Peng, you seem to have a lot of words today?"
As soon as the voice fell, the man in the gown had already made a bold move! His arm didn't move, but it was indeed a shot. Two mechanical arms suddenly shot out of his gown, unexpectedly hitting Zhou Ping's chest.
Zhou Ping was suddenly attacked, and was caught off guard and flew out. The windbreaker on his body tightened and swelled at that moment, Zhou Ping's whole person was like a big ball, falling far to the ground and then bounced from the ground.
"Are you not Lao Peng?" Zhou Ping quickly stood up from the ground and asked with an angry face, "Who are you?"
The man in the gown took off his gown in a hurry, revealing the expensive Redman nano-alloy armor. Two long knives spawned on his metal arms, saying: "Of course I am not Peng Jiankang, Zhou Ping, you still Get ready to be a fool."
"You want to kill me, but it's not that easy!" Zhou Ping unlocked the electronic buckle of the windbreaker, but he seemed to just want to relax, and had no intention of doing anything. The young man in charge of driving got out of the car and stood in front of him.
Hurry up!
The man in the gown suddenly shot and pierced Zhou Ping's heart with a knife, but was blocked by the young driver's crosshand, and he forced the long knife back.
"It turns out to be a friend from the South Asian subcontinent." The young driver showed his bright metal arms, showing his posture and preparing to fight.
The man in the long-shirt didn't seem to be ready to attack, he suddenly whistled to the sky.
In the shade of a tree a hundred meters away, the man watching the excitement sighed slightly.
A huge black shadow fell from the sky, violently stomping Zhou Ping's military-grade bullet-proof car, and waving his arms, the furry giant rushed straight to the young driver and grabbed it... (End of this chapter)
