"Old Wen, what do you think reform is?" After leaving Canglong, Secretary Yu has been thinking about this question. When Vice Mayor Wen came back, the first thing she asked him was about my CEO's fiancée.
Regarding this question, Vice Mayor Wen looked puzzled. After a while, he said: "It's just a change, it's better than before."
"So are we better now?" Secretary Yu asked again.
This time, Vice Mayor Wen was even more surprised, but still replied: "I can't tell, there are good things and bad things, but in general, we are better off than before."
"Then what did we sacrifice?" Secretary Yu asked.
Hearing this, Vice Mayor Wen suddenly became vigilant and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with you today? Why do you feel so weird after coming back from that boy Canglong? Did he give you another problem? This boy , He is really a troublemaker."
"That's not the case." Secretary Yu smiled, shook his head, and then recounted the conversation between himself and Cang Long, and then asked, "Do you think he is right?"
"There is right and there is wrong. After all, China is different from other countries he knows. We have our own ideas. We are crossing the river by feeling for the stones. There are too few things to learn from, and many mistakes will inevitably occur." Vice Mayor Wen said frankly.
"Yes." Secretary Yu took a deep breath, nodded, and then said, "I think he is very interesting. After so many years of reform and opening up, the gap between our urban and rural areas is so big that it is unimaginable. China There are still 800 million farmers. We have a population of 10 million in Dongning City. In fact, there are only about 2 million people with urban household registration. There are also 8 million people with rural household registration. They may be able to work in the city now, but what about the future? As the population ages, what can these people who have contributed to the city do when they return to the countryside?"
"When they have children, they will be able to..."
"Old Wen, how long has it been since you went to the countryside for a real inspection?" Secretary Yu interrupted.
Vice Mayor Wen was silent for a while and finally did not answer. The last time he went to the countryside was because of Canglong, but there was no substantive inspection. It was just to bring Canglong back. Including the actual field trip to the countryside, it was six or seven years ago, and that At that time, I was not the executive deputy mayor.
"How long?" Secretary Yu added another question.
"Seven years ago, I was still a clerk in the county under my jurisdiction." Vice Mayor Wen said honestly.
"Then tell me, has Dongning City changed in the past seven years?" Secretary Yu asked.
"Of course, Dongning City seven years ago was far from as famous as it is now. At that time, it was really..." Vice Mayor Wen had a feeling that was hard to explain at a glance.
"That's right, Dongning City seven years ago is very different from what it is now, and the current rural areas and cities are also very different. In recent years, perhaps we have paid too much attention to the development of cities and neglected the direction of rural areas. , we are saying every day, we are saying that in the end, the most important force is still in the cities, so the gap between urban and rural areas is getting wider and wider, and the gap between rich and poor is also getting wider and wider. I think Canglong just told me , we need to pay equal attention to both ends, rather than focusing on one end and the other lightly to develop, are you right?" Secretary Yu said.
"Yes, but it's really difficult to do it, and the obstacles are huge. Who is willing to put the economic focus in the countryside?" Vice Mayor Wen asked the wealthy young man.
"Our growth has been great, and our sacrifices have also been great, and now we should make up for what we sacrificed before, instead of letting the gap widen." Secretary Yu made the final decision.
Vice Mayor Wen knew that Secretary Yu had already made a decision, so he asked himself that he was just looking for a supporter. Vice Mayor Wen should have agreed with Secretary Yu's idea, but thinking of some difficulties, he still had to bite the bullet and said; "You really Do you believe that Canglong’s childish idea can work?”
"No, you haven't seen the current rural areas. Cities are beginning to surround the rural areas and are constantly expanding. Land is being lost, and land is the basis for farmers to survive. China is still a big agricultural country. There are 8 million farmers in Dongning City. , China has a population of 1.3 billion and 800 million farmers. We cannot let this gap get wider and wider. This is terrible. Canglong is not alarmist. His idea may seem naive in our eyes, but have you ever thought about it? What do ordinary people think? In fact, these are the same, and most of the time we ignore the ideas of ordinary people. This concept intensifies social conflicts. You also said that China is different from other countries, with different culture, different geography, and even more different population gaps. We cannot believe that everyone People can see far like us, and those of us who can see far must make plans for them, so that we can be regarded as parents and officials in the eyes of the people." Secretary Yu suddenly said deeply, "The instructions issued by the Party Central Committee are to let rural areas Urbanization, not rural urbanization, so we should find a way to adapt to rural development, rather than letting the countryside adapt to the city far-fetched. In the words of today's young people, it should be equal and complementary, rather than one of them standing on the side A superior position to drive the weaker one."
Vice Mayor Wen was silent for a while, but did not object. He just said: "I reserve my opinion, but I support you."
Secretary Yu nodded. This was the answer she wanted: "Actually, I can't help it. Who made him rich? Haha."
"Are you injured?" In the room, Heiman looked at Canglong, but he was not surprised at all. He seemed to be expecting it, "It seems you have understood something."
"What do you think I should understand?" Canglong looked at her and asked, "I didn't see you when I went to the hospital. You haven't been in the hospital recently."
"Don't you know that, and you're still asking me?" Heiman stood calmly at the window. Her eyes glanced out the window, showing a bit of vigilance. "I'm worried now that there is a gun pointed at my head. What will happen next?" I will be like Yu Xue in a second, but I may not be as lucky as her, because no one will show mercy to me."
"Assassin's League?" Canglong asked.
Heiman suddenly turned around, looked at him seriously, and smiled: "It seems that you understand, but there is a bit of disbelief in your expression, but no matter how much you don't want to believe it, this is a fact. Maybe this is true." It is my destiny, and your destiny may be more twists and turns than mine, and you may live longer."
In the last few words, Heiman's tone revealed deep helplessness, but not much regret. However, Canglong carefully discovered that Heiman had changed, at least there was some emotion in her tone.
"I have always believed that my destiny is in my own hands, otherwise I would not have come to China. Maybe some people think I am escaping." Canglong looked at her with a smile, "But in fact, I am not willing to do it, just like you Likewise, helplessness is actually also a kind of unwillingness."
"How many people are there in this world who can calculate their own destiny like you? In fact, most people don't know what their future will be like, they just long for some good things, just like them around you, I feel sorry for them , in fact, I am envious, envious of the happiness that I cannot get." Heiman said.
Maryam, who was sitting next to her, was half-understood by what the two said. She even had no idea what the two were talking about. Were they talking about life or destiny? She even thought they were crazy for talking so unclearly. Marginal, but in fact she just doesn't understand the world between two people.
When a person stands in his own world and looks at the world of others, he will have different feelings, just like the differences in age levels. People with more experience always think that people with less experience are naive.
But Mariam obediently said nothing. She didn't even know when this woman appeared in this room, but she was not surprised, just because Canglong was here.
"If you were given a chance to choose again, would you choose to be a killer or an ordinary person?" Heiman suddenly asked. Her expression told Canglong that Canglong must answer this question, but there was also uncertainty on her face. , not sure whether Canglong will answer.
"But reality always doesn't give us many choices." Canglong shook his head and walked towards the room, seemingly ready to rest, but when he walked to the door, he turned back and said, "If I have a choice, I will still Become a killer, because it is a choice, just like many ordinary people want to be us, maybe this is destiny."
After Canglong entered his room, Maryam looked at Heiman innocently, but found that this woman who had always had a cold face had a smile on her lips, but it suddenly disappeared after she discovered it. Heiman Just as she came, she left just as suddenly.
But Mariam understood Canglong's last words. Maybe this is fate, the fate of ordinary people, Canglong's fate, her sister's fate, and her own uncontrollable fate. Dreaming is always beautiful, but reality is always It's right in front of you.
Sun Liping looked sleepy every time she came back. When she met Heiman at the stairs, she knew who was back. She opened the door and went straight to Canglong's room. She didn't even knock on the door, just pushed it open and faced him. Canglong, who was in front of the computer, said: "You are finally back. You said you would take a few days off, but you actually took a few weeks off. Do you know how close we are to the college entrance examination? How did you become the deputy head teacher?"
In response to Sun Liping's angrily and unreasonable scolding, Cang Long just replied calmly: "You said I'm a bad guy."
Sun Liping's face turned red, but she couldn't say a word. On the porcelain doll's face, she was angry for a long time before she said: "Then why are you back? I think you are just a soy sauce person?"
"Hey, you're right, I'm actually just a soy sauce person." Canglong looked calm.
"You...you...you..." Sun Liping couldn't hold back a word for a long time, slammed the door, and went to take a shower angrily.
As expected, two screams came from the bathroom, and then Sun Liping ran back angrily and yelled at Cang Long: "Who is she?"
