Lin Xiao got off the car and took a look at the crowded central square and the dazzling and magnificent recovery stage.
"Extravage and waste."
Yuan Zheng said immediately.
"It can't be said to be extravagant and wasteful. Since it can appease the people's emotions and eliminate the atmosphere of panic, then such a party is still useful. And the people at the bottom have also participated, right?"
Lin Xiao said with a smile.
Lin Xiao didn't like banquets, but what he didn't like were the social banquets of the upper class.
In his opinion, that kind of banquet was completely extravagant and wasteful.
But the gala in front of us is different. This kind of gala not only has many upper-class people participating, but also the broad masses of the lower class people.
Moreover, it can also sweep away the previous panic, effectively calm people's emotions, and is conducive to the construction of urban civilization and the stability of order.

Therefore, such a party is of practical significance.
Yuan Zheng thought about it and felt that it was indeed what Lin Xiao said, so he nodded.
"Commander Lin, please come this way. The party will start soon, and the city lord has been waiting for you for a while."
A welcoming lady wearing a red cheongsam came to Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng with a smile on her face and showed them the way.
"OK."
Lin Xiao nodded, then took steps to follow the welcoming lady towards the seats arranged for the two of them.
But at this moment, some commotion suddenly occurred not far away.
Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng turned to look together, and then saw several security guards stopping a man and a woman.
The woman, holding a microphone in her hand, was wearing a gray suit skirt and white high-heeled shoes. She was dressed more refreshingly and neatly. You could tell at a glance that she was a professional woman.
And that man's features are more obvious.
Anyone who sees this combination will know it, it must be reporters and photographers.
"What's going on?"
Lin Xiao asked.
The welcoming lady glanced in the direction of the commotion, and then explained with a smile: "Because there are many big shots here tonight, including the city lord and you, so many reporters from the media are also here. However,
In order to prevent these media reporters from disturbing everyone's enjoyment, the city lord has said hello in advance and will not allow them to enter the venue."
"So that's it."
Lin Xiao nodded.
Since it was the order of City Lord Liu Qianxiong, Lin Xiao had no intention of disobeying it. He didn't want to be interviewed anyway.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he turned around, a woman's shout came over him.
"Commander Lin! Commander Lin, don't leave! Don't leave! I finally met you, you can't be so cold..."
Lin Xiao's face changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This kind of rhetoric is too easy for people to misunderstand.
If someone didn't know about it, they would most likely think that it was Lin Xiao who caused the romantic debt.
"Let them come over."
Lin Xiao said to Yuan Zheng.
Yuan Zheng nodded in agreement, then strode over, and soon brought the beautiful reporter and photographer to Lin Xiao.
"Who are you?"
Lin Xiao took the lead.
The beautiful reporter's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at Lin Xiao excitedly and said, "Hello, Commander Lin, my name is He Meiyi, and we are reporters from the local TV station in Dorado. I would like to delay you for a few minutes and interview you, okay?"
After saying that, the beautiful reporter He Meiyi looked at Lin Xiao expectantly, her big eyeshadowed eyes still blinking.
In He Meiyi's view, no man would refuse her on such a trivial matter when a beautiful woman like herself asked for it.
However, Lin Xiao said lightly: "Not interested."
"What?"
He Meiyi was stunned. She never imagined that Lin Xiao would refuse her interview request without hesitation!
"Wait a minute, Commander Lin, I really just want to briefly interview you. I won't ask too sharp questions..."
He Meiyi said quickly, and intentionally or unintentionally pulled the collar of her dress to reveal more of the beautiful scenery on her chest in front of Lin Xiao.
It's a pity that Lin Xiao didn't look at her twice from beginning to end.
"Keep quiet and watch the party. If you yell again I'll kick you out of here."
Lin Xiao said without any emotion, then turned around and strode towards the direction of the city lord Liu Qianxiong.
Yuan Zheng emphasized his tone and said sternly to He Meiyi: "Did you hear Commander Lin's order? Stay quiet and don't yell!"
After saying that, Yuan Zheng also strode away.
Looking at the two people walking away, He Meiyi froze on the spot and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
The camera guy sighed and said helplessly: "I've warned you a long time ago, alas..."
He Meiyi came back to her senses and said angrily: "I have never seen such a heartless man! It's so annoying! He's Commander Lin, he's the national protector general, I don't think he can do anything, he's just a man who got in through the back door.
The commander-in-chief’s idiot!”
As soon as these words came out, the security guards around her immediately cast fierce glances at her.
He Meiyi immediately shrank her neck and explained tremblingly: "I...I'm just joking...don't take it seriously..."
Lin Xiao has already sat down at the table.
Yuan Zheng was still standing aside.
"You sit down too."
Lin Xiao pulled a chair over and said.
Yuan Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then sat down next to Lin Xiao.
Liu Qianxiong looked behind Lin Xiao and saw that there was no one behind him, so he asked curiously: "Commander Lin, you are also the commander-in-chief after all. Why don't you bring any guards or bodyguards when you go out?"
Guard?
bodyguard?
Lin Xiao was thinking about how to answer this question, and Yuan Zheng had already explained it first.
"The strongest person in the entire city defense force is Commander Lin. Naturally, the Commander does not need guards or bodyguards. Besides, who is capable and qualified to protect him?"
Hearing Yuan Zheng's words of high praise for Lin Xiao, Liu Qianxiong suddenly understood and nodded vigorously.
Liu Shaolan glanced longingly into the distance, and then asked: "Commander Lin, what happened over there just now? I seemed to hear a woman shouting that she wanted to see you, and said that you were cold and heartless...
.”
Lin Xiao's face darkened.
Although He Meiyi was stopped in time, it seems that the female reporter named He Meiyi still caused trouble for herself.
"It's just that a female reporter wanted to interview me, but I refused."
Lin Xiao said calmly.
"I see, I thought...I'm sorry."
Liu Shaolan laughed before he finished speaking.
She really thought that the woman was a poor person abandoned by Lin Xiao, so she begged Lin Xiao to see her again.
"Commander Lin is an upright person, how could he do something as dirty as Chen Shimei?"
Liu Qianxiong said with a smile, and touched his daughter Liu Shaolan's head.
