Chapter 921: Gale (Part 2)
A piece of confetti was flying in the air, passing through the crowd, reflecting the bright red light in the sun. The confetti that had sunk into the alley was rolling in the wind, and with the airflow flowing into the alley, it fell to the ground and rose up, completely without direction, and with the airflow pouring into the alley, it passed through the empty alleys.
Suddenly, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, the confetti flew up, but when it approached the wall, it was held down by a finger.
"Just the right time!"
In front of him was a shabby wooden door, an old fortress-like building, with various graffiti crookedly covered beside the door, and in the graffiti, a striking letter K could be seen.
"Sorry, I'm late."
K stuffed the confetti into his suit pocket, pushed open the door and stepped in. There was a circular hall inside, filled with many people in various clothes, and everyone stood up.
"It's Mr. K."
With exclamations one after another, the people sitting on the old tables and chairs stood up excitedly, and K waved his hand.
Among this group of people, there were shop owners, waiters, workers, students, doctors and other professionals. Nearly 40 people came over.
"Sorry, I'm late because of something."
"Mr. K, is the beer business still okay?"
An old man in an old suit asked, and K nodded.
"It's okay."
After a while, everyone sat down, and K smiled and put his hands together on the table.
"Now is a good time, it's time for us to launch a demand."
Many people nodded as K said this, and began to discuss.
"We will organize tomorrow and protest at the door of the 13th department's store."
A waiter in a store stood up, and everyone else nodded.
"No matter what the result is, I hope you all clearly understand what you need to express your demands!"
"Courage!"
The voices rang out in unison, and K nodded, looking at everyone seriously and seriously, with determination on their bloody faces.
"Good luck to you all in advance!"
K stood up and bowed to everyone. Everyone stood up. At this time, K reminded again.
"Expressing demands lies in words, not violence. Please stay awake."
K smiled and looked at the people who were still discussing the demands for tomorrow's march. Everyone's faces were full of hope. K sighed helplessly.
As one of the important members of the Protest and Demand Endeavor Association, K felt discouraged for a while after being dismissed from his post by Section 2. It was at this time that he met a few people who were more talkative. At that time, he often followed those people to some gathering places for some debates and speeches.
Occasionally, some protests and demonstrations were launched against injustice in the city. From the initial dozens of people to the current demonstrations of hundreds or thousands of people, the Endeavor Association has deteriorated a little.
People's emotions will change drastically under the influence of the general environment, and emotions that have been suppressed for too long can easily be ignited, just like a powder keg that stores a lot of gunpowder.
In the last Cocos polyester riot, K was powerless to stop it when he learned about it. The abbreviation of the Endeavor Society is kkk, which was founded by K and two other people whose names start with k. The surge in the number of people indicates that more and more people are dissatisfied with the current social structure.
The original 113th and 114th districts were the same. K had actually thought of it a long time ago. In addition to their Endeavor Society, there were also third-party forces involved. Those rioters ended up causing tragedy because of food problems. The number of illnesses caused by poisonous food in the two districts was the highest.
"Please pay attention to your emotions and don't bring dangerous things to the scene, otherwise you will be arrested by the Operations Department."
The law in the city allows marches and demonstrations, but it is limited to words and correctness. Once a march and demonstration turns into a conflict riot, all participants will be arrested.
But over the years, many marches and demonstrations of the Endeavor Society have ended in bloody conflicts, but now this is no longer something K can control. The huge and oppressed public opinion has begun to expand.
It would be dangerous to continue, but K would not stop, because he was also involved in the huge public opinion. He liked excitement and these voices more, because K knew very well that if there was no more opposition in this society one day, then this society would not be far from the end.
In just a few hours, the voices in the city were divided into many factions. Some people thought that Le Xiao's approach was too risky, especially many people in the upper class, who fiercely criticized that doing so would bring a huge impact on the stability and prosperity of the upper class.
Although the middle-class people were also speaking out, most of them only cared about their existing lives. If prices fluctuated, their existing lives would definitely be affected. Everyone was not optimistic about Le Xiao's speech on building the bottom class.
Looking at the excited faces, K knew very well that this was the best opportunity for these guys to speak on behalf of the bottom class. They only needed to speak at the door of the 13th department store, and this voice could be easily transmitted to the middle and upper classes. This was the appeal of all the bottom people.
Because in the live broadcast of Le Xiao’s return home and the live broadcast of CBV, the plight of the people at the bottom and many demands were not mentioned at all. They were just going through the motions. For many people, although they saw some hope, they still felt sad in their hearts. I want to express something, but no one pays attention to it.
K also knows that while there is still a relatively high degree of attention from the bottom, the demands of the bottom must be expressed, at least through Section 13, and the action must be as fast as possible. After all, if it continues to be delayed, the popularity of the bottom will be lost. It's still there, but most people in the middle and upper classes are bound to become tough once economic fluctuations occur, which is something K doesn't want to see.
But what K didn't expect was that a guy who claimed to be a rioter contacted him the day before yesterday and wanted to have an interview with him tonight. After hesitating for two days, K decided to talk to them.
k did not tell the acting department because he and the acting department were strangers to each other for a long time. He hated the practices of the acting department from the bottom of his heart, including that he had done a lot of things secretly during his tenure in the acting department. Today he accidentally met c, which made him K was a little surprised. What was surprising was that the woman who looked like a hound was still the same to this day. As long as Xian Ke threw a bone, she would go back wagging her tail.
It’s just that K knows C very well. He knows that the woman is not out of loyalty or anything like that, but because she only enjoys the process of finding prey and then killing it.
"Okay everyone, it's almost time, it's almost 12 o'clock."
As K said, everyone stood up and planned to go back to work. Most of them were ordinary people, but they came together because of like-minded people.
K returned to the street again, walked quickly for a while, and immediately saw his partner, Chen Miao. She was standing next to an electric pole angrily with her hands folded, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and she passed by People would take a few glances at her from time to time. Chen Miao was dressed coolly, and her skin and face were also very good. She was a rare beauty among those at the bottom.
"Sorry, Xiao Miao."
"Look, it's full of people. It's okay now. We have to wait for at least 30 minutes."
The restaurants on this street were already crowded. Chen Miao finally found a seat, but K said that he had something to do and had to go out for a few minutes. As a result, Chen Miao waited for less than 5 minutes. The clerk saw that she was occupying the place without ordering. After sitting down, let her wait outside first.
"Sorry, Xiao Miao."
"Don't you still have a housing loan? I advise you to be more careful, Mr. K."
K just smiled and shook his head. When it came to housing loans, K showed a helpless look.
At this time, the streets and alleys were discussing the changes that might happen next for the grassroots. After the excitement passed, suspicion began to stir up again. Some people quickly listed some of the so-called stimulating economic growth promoted by the business department in the past. Bills, including many commercial investment bills initiated by the district power, almost all ended in failure. There has been no improvement at the bottom. In the past 20 years, there has been almost no increase in income. On the contrary, everywhere has become increasingly poor.
What everyone is worried about is that the approach of making big noise but small raindrops will once again put the bottom layer into a more difficult situation. Many companies at the bottom are worried about this problem. With their size, there is no doubt that they will collide with the sudden injection of capital. It is like an egg hitting a stone.
The attitude of most people is still negative, because everyone believes that pie will not fall in the sky, and many people feel that this is just another show of business. Moreover, it is impossible for a person of that level to truly serve the bottom. What to do, but will choose to make a wave of money and then get rid of it.
Located on North Third Street in District 118, the sun at 12 o'clock is the hottest of the day, but there are still many businessmen who have not left. They are still waiting anxiously for Le Xiao to come back. One of them is standing under the bright sun. , constantly wiping his forehead with a wet handkerchief to prevent heat stroke.
Some merchants were waiting in the shops on the surrounding streets. At this time, Chen Qiao and Honghong were waiting in the shops on both sides of the shop in Section 13.
"Sir, you'd better go to the alley to cool down. You'll be in trouble if you get heatstroke."
A team leader from Section 5 said, and walked over to persuade the nearly 100-year-old middle-aged man who was standing at the door of the store and wiping his forehead. He kept nodding.
"Sir, I'm not hot. It's okay. I'll just wait here for Secretary Le Xiao to come back."
The door of Section 13's shop is still closed, and 30 people from Section 5 are still guarding it. The man's name is Carlos. He was once a gold medal producer of a music talent show. He is here today because he was recommended by Lanny. He must seize this opportunity and talk directly to Le Xiao, the secretary of Section 13, before he can have a chance to turn around.
At this time, some businessmen recognized Carlos, and their words were full of ridicule. After all, the experience of this down-and-out gold medal music producer can be described as ups and downs. He once made a fortune by relying on a large-scale urban music talent show, but he also Because of the fake music program, his reputation plummeted and his credibility in the city was ruined.
Although Carlos still held some small music live auditions in recent years, the results were not ideal. The ratings of the network were declining year by year. In order to save this situation, Carlos basically selected all the singers for the live shows, all handsome men and beautiful women. Although it stabilized a certain decline, let alone compared with the past glory, some people who could support themselves and the company were exhausted. In addition, the impact of the current live broadcast industry has caused his program to be almost ignored. It is even more impossible to broadcast it on some large channels. Because of the serious power-for-sex transaction problems in the past, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
In Carlos's music talent show, only one singer was still brilliant and ranked among the top-tier. This is also the only thing Carlos is happy to talk about. It was you who discovered Tianai.
At this time, the streets were boiling. In the distance, Le Xiao came back. Carlos was fully prepared, but soon businessmen swarmed in, and Carlos' figure was instantly submerged in the crowd...
