In mid-September, the weather in Longcheng is still a bit hot, and it will feel very stuffy every night when there is no wind.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, the brightly lit inner harbor of Zhanan District is full of lush greenery, sparkling beaches, and bustling with people near tourist attractions. There are stalls selling souvenirs and Chinese snacks everywhere.
Several dilapidated cars were parked at the port boarding area. Bai Hongbo walked down with a large group of people, boarded a small cruise ship while talking and laughing, and told the driver: "Go to Baole No. 1."
Dragon City is close to the sea and has a special political environment, so many nighttime entertainment venues have come up with new tricks. For example, there are many flower boats in the inner harbor of Zhanan District. The girls inside are charming and the service is in place, so you can sing and drink with them.
, and you can enjoy the sea breeze, watch the night view, and talk about life with your guests.
Of course, today's flower boats are different from those in the past. The decoration inside is very modern, and some large cruise ships can even provide services such as bathing and sauna. But here in Zhanan District, we can do this on this scale
Very few. After all, this is a relatively remote area of Longcheng and the economy is relatively backward, so consumption is naturally lower.
Although Bai Hongbo is a bit like a prodigal son, he is not a super rich second generation. Shenhao, if you really let him go to the best cruise ship in Longkou to invite guests back, he will probably be able to bear it. If it doesn't happen, he will have to work like a duck for two days.
Pay back the money. So everyone didn’t kill him, and just chose a place that was relatively close to the people to have fun and enhance their relationship.
…
After everyone boarded the Baole No. 1, Su Tianyu's eyes were completely opened. The girls on other cruise ships did not stay in the work room, waiting for channel selection, but wandered around the deck by themselves. There were cold meals on each deck.
Snacks, free drinks, etc. The girls are listening to music, chatting in small groups, or sitting alone on high chairs. If there are guests passing by, as long as you like them, you can order them.
Just the number plate is enough.
Each trip is two hours, and the trip fee is divided into two levels: 100 and 200. You must open a package to get on the boat, and the low-cost price starts at more than 500. In short, this is definitely not low for the current consumption level of Dragon City.
, after all, this is a place for fun.
"Pick whatever you want, brothers, I'll cover all the expenses tonight." Bai Hongbo greeted everyone, pointed at a familiar Mama Sang and said: "Find me a sister who has experience in rehabilitation training, what the hell?
The injury is just right, I need someone with skills."
"Okay, Brother Bai!"
"The little mouth is so sweet, come here, let me test the temperature of your mouth." Bai Hongbo hooked his hand.
"Haha, okay, you wait a moment, I'll call someone over first." Mamasang responded in a false tone and called the girls around to come over and choose someone.
Since we are going out to have fun, everyone must be here with joy. Even Kong Zhenghui, the slut, chose a sexy girl, let alone Su Tianbei, Su Tianyu and other three good young people who love to socialize.
After everyone chose the girl, they entered the box on the third deck together, opened the windows, faced the sea breeze, and looked at the brightly lit night view of Zhanan District's inner harbor, and their hearts relaxed unconsciously.
Bai Hongbo is a nightclub gold belt. He is not only sexy but also very good at stirring up the atmosphere. After two rounds of mini-games, everyone was drunk and dizzy. Moreover, the girls in the room also wore cooler clothes.
Su Tianyu also had a great time. After all, he was an energetic young man. Before returning to Dragon City, he had been staying in the army. His life was hard and he had no contact with the opposite sex. Now that someone is paying to help him socialize, it is natural that he should
Give face to the person who is treating you.
In fact, in his daily life, Su Tianyu looked very sunny and optimistic, and he did not look like a wolf cub who could fight for someone like Lu Feng.
The atmosphere in the room was joyful as cups were exchanged. Bai Hongbo was playing a ditty and was already holding the girl at the door and dancing wildly.
The eldest brother Su Tiannan has an average drinking capacity. After playing for a while, he felt a little headache and chest tightness. Then he took the cigarette case and patted Tian Yu's leg: "Come on, come with me to smoke a cigarette."
"Oh, okay." Su Tianyu nodded with a smile and followed his elder brother out.
Most of the private rooms on the ship have independent doors, which can be pushed open to enter the deck and enjoy the beautiful night view of the inner harbor while standing next to the guardrail.
The two Su brothers walked out together, stood next to the guardrail and each lit a cigarette.
"Haha, I think you and Bai Hongbo get along well." Su Tiannan asked with a smile, "I feel like you are very adaptable to the Dragon City environment."
"No, although Bai Hongbo looks like a chicken thief and acts selfishly, he is actually quite a real person." Su Tianyu replied softly: "He is a little easier to get along with than Kong Zhenghui.
"Yes, he likes your third sister," Su Tiannan bared his teeth and replied: "But your third sister said he was a loser and was too lazy to pay attention to him."
"Haha, there's nothing wrong with that!"
"Xiao Yu, you helped me a lot with this family matter." Su Tiannan smoked a cigarette and looked at the sea and said: "You are more resistant than I thought, and you are more courageous. In fact...that night you
After the shooting, I was really scared. Once this matter is found out, it will be very troublesome."
Su Tianyu paused and replied: "Do you know why I dare to shoot?"
"why?"
"If Wang Daolin is not interested in the dirty gang's business, then I asked you to make an appointment with him before, and he won't come out to meet you every time." Su Tianyu said with a chuckle: "People are not saints. In this era,
How many officials don’t love money?”
"It makes sense." Su Tiannan nodded slowly, looked at his younger brother up and down and said: "Sixth son, listen to my words, you should stay at home and work in the future. Your second uncle is getting older, and sooner or later our brothers will take over the family business.
, let’s stick together as a team and move forward together, and we can live a good life in the future.”
"Haha." Su Tianyu looked at him and smiled.
"...How about, stay?" Su Tiannan continued to persuade: "If we take the public office exam, our relationship is weak, and we may not be able to achieve any results. You see, many employees in the unit are in their 30s and 40s, and they earn hundreds of dollars.
The salary of RMB 10,000 cannot be raised or reduced, which is quite uncomfortable.”
Su Tianyu slowly dragged his arms on the railing, looked down at the surrounding night scene and said, "Brother, let me tell you a story."
"What story?" Su Tiannan asked.
"When I was 17 years old, my dad sent me to join the army. At that time, our family had a strong relationship. My personal development plan had already been arranged. I would transition to the army for a year, and when I was old enough, I would directly apply for the military academy, and then I would be able to graduate.
Serve in the grassroots army. After a few years, if you are lucky, you will soon be able to get the position of a school officer and staff officer." Su Tianyu said softly: "At that time, I looked at things very simply."
Su Tiannan listened quietly without interrupting.
Su Tianyu stared deeply at the sea and continued in a low voice: "There is one thing that I remember very clearly. The day after my 17th birthday, I went on patrol with my classmates as usual. That
At that time, our troops had coastal defense tasks. You also know that since the failure of the First District in the war against China, the political struggle within the First District has become very serious. The Republican Party suppressed the Civil Affairs Party, and the secret fighting became fierce. This led to the subsequent Independence War.
.So during that period, many of our coastal troops had coastal defense missions."
"Yes, I know." Su Tiannan nodded.
"When I was in that company, I had a very good friend named He Yudong. He was about the same age as me. He was from Shandong. His family also went overseas with the warlord Zhou Zhou after the Unification War." Su Tiannan recounted softly.
: "I love reading, and he also loves reading. We have similar interests, so we have a very good relationship. That day we took a helicopter to perform a coastal defense mission until about three o'clock in the afternoon. It was about to change the guard, but the battalion-level headquarters...
Suddenly we received a distress call, saying that in the sea not far from our patrol area, a cruise ship belonging to District 1 was bombarded by private armed forces from the area to be planned. There were more than a thousand people on board and cargo, so the camp
The level headquarters sent us to go to the rescue first. In our two helicopters, including the pilot and co-pilot, we have a total of twelve people."
"Yeah." Su Tiannan listened carefully.
"We quickly flew to the position of the cruise ship, but when I saw it from a bird's eye view, I knew that the ship was going to be finished. The tail of the hull suffered a devastating blow, the power of the hull was lost, and the tail of the ship was stretched when it sank.
The keel has broken, and the entire ship has cracked from the middle." When Su Tianyu said this, he frowned unconsciously: "Everyone on the ship was calling for help at the bow, and the crowd was in a roar, with faces full of despair. Our company commander
Looking at this situation, he knew clearly that he could not save everyone, and the stern of the ship had sunk, and there were not enough lifeboats on the ship. There were no other patrol forces around, so he immediately reported to his superiors, saying that the people on the ship were too
Duo, what should we do if we can't save him? But do you know how the upper level responded?"
Su Tiannan shook his head.
"The superiors immediately drew up a list and told the company commander to rescue them according to the list. I have seen the list and there are probably less than forty people. Almost all of them are Chinese officers from the first district or wealthy businessmen." Su Tianyu paused.
, bowed his head and continued: "Soldiers must obey orders. We have to do whatever the company commander tells us to do, so we immediately used the lock to lower the ship, guard the position of the bow, and let the people on the list get on the plane first. But this
As soon as we got there, all the ordinary workers, ordinary people, and staff on the ship quit their jobs. They asked us like crazy, why don't we take them with us? Even if the helicopter can't hold so many people, why don't we let the old people go with us?
Weak women and children left first? The company commander could not give an explanation, so he could only fire a warning shot. But at that time, everyone was in a desperate situation, so how could we be afraid that you had a gun in your hand? With a red eye, more than a hundred people knocked down two of our soldiers.
."
Su Tiannan also frowned when he heard this.
"The company commander had no choice but to ask for instructions again from the superiors, but the superiors said that we, the soldiers, should stay on the ship to maintain order, wait for subsequent rescue, and give the vacated positions to the old, weak, women and children on the ship... to express the anger of the people!
"Su Tianyu lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said: "I was quite scared at that time. I was afraid that the company commander would leave me behind. But after he assigned the mission, he told me alone that he wanted me to get on the plane first.
Never mind the rest. I was very happy and was about to board the helicopter while holding on to the rope. But at this moment... my best friend, He Yudong, grabbed my wrist. He... he asked me... to stay.
If you get off, you will die, right? He asked me to help him plead with the company commander and take him on the plane together... But at that time, I was so scared that I was afraid that if I didn't leave now, I wouldn't be able to get on the plane."
"Then what?" Su Tiannan asked.
"Then I got on the plane and saw He Yudong staring at me with desperate eyes. When the plane flew away, I looked at the cruise ship, which was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye." Su Tianyu turned his head, with circles under his eyes.
He raised his finger slightly red and said: "There are more than a thousand people. The survival rate of those on the list is 100%, and the survival rate of ordinary people is about 10%. My friend He Yudong, who loved studying very much, was not even found in the capital.
In the end, the matter was suppressed by the higher authorities and was never exposed in the media.”
Su Tiannan took a long puff of cigarette.
"They are all soldiers, why can I leave?" Su Tianyu raised his arm, pointed at the sea and sky and said: "Because my father is the senior colonel staff officer of that army, and He Yudong is just an ordinary soldier's descendant. I have a relationship with him
Very good, very good, but there is a wall in the middle that no one can see. Brother, what do you think that wall is?"
Su Tiannan already understood what Su Tianyu wanted to say.
"It's class, it's class!" Su Tianyu squinted his eyes and looked at the rolling sea with the help of alcohol: "In such an era, an era full of opportunities, ordinary people may have a small chance to break through.
That wall, but relying on the Dirty Gang obviously won't work. Brother, I'm different from you. I can't get over my father's affairs... So, I have to do everything I can to get back on my feet! I won't let myself down, and I won't let this person down either.
Times. My future is not in this family industry, and I believe you are too, right?"
…
Late at night, Wang Daolin's car stopped at the door of the Su family compound. The lean old man with a flowery shirt who had been beaten in the detention center stepped into the compound and shouted: "I'm back, where are the kids?!"
The third sister came out and complained directly: "They've all gone to have a good time and have a good time."
