Chapter 333: The speed of waking up far beyond imagination
Lingpingan looked at the data on his screen.
85…
He scratched his head.
The growth rate has slowed down today.
He took out his cell phone and looked at the date, and it suddenly dawned on him.
Today is Monday!
Work day!
"No wonder!" He put down the phone.
The week system appeared during the Taizu period, which was created after Taizu absorbed and combined the chronology of the Qin and Lu civilizations.
This system was first used in officialdom.
Work from Monday to Friday, rest on Saturday and Sunday.
This was much better than the rest system of the previous dynasty, so it was quickly accepted.
The cultural traditions of the federal empire determine what the government uses, and the people will immediately accept it.
By the time of Emperor Gaozong, even factory workers began to enjoy weekend breaks.
The same goes for the concept of overtime pay.
Taizu stipulated that overtime work would be paid double.
This turned the imperial officials at that time into virtuous ministers and capable officials who were loyal to the country.
There are endless rushes to work overtime.
By now, the concept of weekend holidays has already been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
And radiated to the entire ‘world’.
On the contrary, Lingpingan had vaguely heard that in Qinlu, where the weekly system originated, there seemed to be no concept of double holidays.
It seems to be a single holiday over there...
This is not very understandable.
Playing with his phone, he looked at the time. It was still early, only ten o'clock.
So I turned on the TV.
It happened to be evening news time.
And the channel he opened happened to be a local channel, so it basically broadcast people's livelihood news.
"Dear viewers, we are now at the Huamao Supermarket in the north of Jianshe Road..."
"It is reported that after seven months of closure, Huamao Group finally decided to renovate the Huamao Supermarket and open it for business in one month..."
"Huamao Supermarket was the largest comprehensive commercial building in our city..."
"It is also the collective memory of those born in the 10s and 20s..."
"Between 2800 and 2830 of the Republic Era, Huamao Supermarket has always been the largest comprehensive shopping mall in Jiangcheng City..."
Looking at this news, then looking at the old shopping mall building.
Lingpingan's mouth opened wide.
He couldn't help but said: "Is this okay?"
"Can Huamao still deceive corpses?"
"Ye Qing is back!"
Huamao Supermarket was once the pride of the entire Dongcheng District.
It is also a landmark building in Jiangcheng City during the era of heavy industrial manufacturing.
At that time, this shopping mall was the largest and most advanced comprehensive shopping mall in the city.
And it is famous throughout the Guangnan region!
It is the first shopping mall in Guangnan area to use central air conditioning.
It is also the first shopping mall in Jiangcheng City to have a full escalator.
At the glorious moment, every night, Huamao Supermarket and the surrounding Huamao Plaza are the most crowded and lively places in the entire Jiangcheng City.
Then……
The mobile Internet era is coming.
Then, the development focus of Jiangcheng City moved northward, and the north of the city became a new population gathering area and economic hotspot.
Factories in Chengdong District closed down one by one and were moved away.
As a result, the Huamao Supermarket and Huamao Plaza, which were once the most prosperous and lively places in the East District, inevitably declined.
In addition, the construction took a long time.
The facilities are in disrepair and are outdated.
Therefore, at the beginning of this year, Huamao Supermarket announced its closure.
At that time, all the merchandise in the mall began to be put on sale.
Lingpingan took the opportunity to collect wool.
One hundred yuan and three hundred flashlights.
Fifty dollars and one hundred pairs of socks.
One hundred dollars and ten shirts!
It’s simply a pleasure!
Now, almost nine months after his death, Huamao Supermarket is about to be resurrected?
This is really unbelievable!
But……
On TV, the scaffolding erected and the construction team appearing did not lie.
Huamao Group has actually started to turn around!
Lingpingan became happy.
Because Huamao Supermarket is just across the road in front of his street.
It only takes a few minutes to walk.
And its reopening means traffic!
A large number of people will be attracted to this area again.
so……
"The bookstore business seems to be getting better!"
"Sure enough, I'm still good at winning by lying down!"
The young bookstore owner regained his fighting spirit.
Many times, personal efforts are actually irrelevant, and the progress of the times is the key!
As long as you step on it correctly, the sow can fly on the wind outlet!
Lingpingan turned off the TV happily and was about to close the door and go to sleep.
Suddenly, a message reminder appeared on his phone.
He picked it up and looked at it as a souvenir from a friend.
Classmate Xiaoyao: Master, are you free?
Lingpingan looked at this message and thought about it for a long time before he remembered that it seemed to be the granddaughter of Grandma Hu's family?
He picked up the phone, opened the screen, and politely replied: I'm free!
Xiaoyao classmate: Then... let's play black together?
Lingpingan looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and replied: OK!
He also hasn't been to the canyon for several days.
Just in time, let this little girl from a well-connected family see his exquisite operations!
………………………………
In a secluded room, Hu Nuonuo looked at the messages on his phone.
She couldn't help but clenched her fists and cheered.
"Sure enough!" She looked at the book on her desk: "I still need to read more books!"
The name of this book is "How to Correctly Communicate with the Opposite Sex".
It is a book that is always at the top of the bestseller list of Federal Empire books.
It’s about how to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
The most important thing mentioned here is to do what you like.
There must be common interests and hobbies.
And now, Hunono is studying.
She felt that she had taken a crucial step.
So, she happily leaned on the bedside in the bedroom, took her mobile phone, and opened the Canyon game.
After entering, a profile picture in her friends column also lit up.
It's the young master's number.
Then, an invitation was sent.
Hu Nuonuo happily clicked OK.
………………………………
Pushing his suitcase, Qin Keqing walked into the high-speed rail station in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital.
Her secretary only booked her a high-speed rail ticket for tonight.
As for tomorrow during the day?
Sorry, sold out!
It's impossible to jump in line.
Because all public transportation in the federal empire, especially public transportation based on roads and railways, are all state-owned and public.
This is stipulated in the constitution.
Article 7 of the Magna Carta of the Federal Empire: Cheap, efficient, advanced and convenient public transportation services are the rights that the people should have, so the central hub and the independent kingdoms must ensure that this right of the people is not violated.
From this was born the Federal Empire Public Transport Services Act.
According to this law, even central cabinet ministers are not allowed to jump in line if they have no important official business.
Moreover, it stipulates that the federal empire center and each independent kingdom must bear and be responsible for the costs of public transportation construction.
Thus, the empire won the reputation of an infrastructure dynasty!
As of now, the total mileage of high-speed rail, railways, roads, and expressways in the federal empire is greater than the sum of all countries outside the empire combined.
Moreover, this advantage is still expanding.
Every year, infrastructure investment accounts for 10% of the budget.
Therefore, Qin Keqing, the personal secretary of the royal eldest princess, could only come to the high-speed rail station in the middle of the night to wait for the train.
Go through the security check and enter the waiting hall.
Qin Keqing bought an official ticket, so she had an exclusive official waiting room.
Pushed and saluted, he arrived at the waiting room specially prepared for senior civil servants to wait for the bus.
Qin Keqing discovered that at such a late hour, there were actually civil servants from other departments waiting for the bus.
So much so that the business waiting room, which used to be deserted, was almost full.
She pushed forward, bowed, and found an empty seat to sit down.
Opposite her was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.
"Hello!" Qin Keqing saluted.
"Hello!" He opened his eyes and nodded politely.
Qin Keqing noticed that he was wearing a set of very simple casual clothes and did not wear any official uniform.
but……
His shirt is black.
and……
His briefcase is also black.
In the Federal Empire, there is only one kind of person who likes to have black as his symbol.
Black guard!
The mysterious, powerful, and strange black-clothed guard!
As the personal secretary of Princess Rou'an, Qin Keqing knows a little about the black guards.
It's just that I have almost no interaction with him.
Because the black-clad guards never interfere in common affairs.
They have their own laws and their own internal rules and regulations.
After thinking about it, Qin Keqing wisely took out his computer and started to handle official business.
She knew that everything about the Black Guards was a secret protected by the Federal Empire Secrecy Act.
Public servants are not allowed to pry or inquire without permission.
Otherwise, a judge will handle it.
In the federal empire system, all power belongs to the center.
It is a unified centralized system.
This is tradition.
However, outside of tradition, some departments are transcendent.
The black guards are like this.
The same goes for Dali Temple, which prides itself on being the gatekeeper and mountain guard dog of the Constitution.
but……
The person opposite suddenly asked: "Little girl, are you the commissioner of the royal agency?"
Qin Keqing smiled and nodded quickly: "Senior has a keen eye... Junior is Princess Rou'an's personal secretary..."
"Going to Jiangcheng City?" he asked.
Qin Keqing nodded.
"Then let's drop by..." The other party smiled, not at all like the ruthless black-clad guard in legend, but like an uncle next door.
Qin Keqing quickly handed over his hand: "This junior is honored!"
But the other party smiled and looked at her: "Secretary Qin, I know something about your itinerary..."
"Can you give me a copy of the results of your trip when the time comes?"
Qin Keqing looked at him, thought for a while, and nodded: "This is natural!"
The black guards have the right to require any state agencies and departments to cooperate with their work.
So, until he got on the bus, the other person was sitting there with his eyes half closed.
After getting on the bus, Qin Keqing found that she was in the same compartment as him.
The other party also saw Qin Keqing, nodded kindly to her, and sat in her seat.
Qin Keqing noticed that this mysterious black-clad guard official seemed to have six fingers on his hands.
"Six fingers?" Qin Keqing was stunned.
Guard in black, six fingers...
Over 40 years old...
Think about what he saw before and what the other person looked like.
Chinese character face, slightly fat, slightly bald...
All the conditions add up to a big shot.
Song Shihui, the black-clad lieutenant general known as the ‘Six-fingered Piano Demon’ by foreigners, and the chief general of the Southern Zhou Branch!
She took a deep breath.
This is a real big shot!
Qin Keqing had heard a little bit about this man's deeds.
Legend has it that he once played a song "Guangling San" on the border of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Then……
Outside the borders of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, many evil spirits in foreign countries exploded and died one after another!
Once the song is played, the enemy's life will be taken thousands of miles away.
This is the reputation of this lieutenant general!
This is also the origin of his title of Six-fingered Piano Demon!
Qin Keqing suddenly became trembling and nervous.
Fortunately, the Empire's high-speed rail is very fast, reaching a speed of 400 kilometers per hour.
Especially for the Di-Guang High-Speed Railway, because it was built relatively early, various upgrades have been done very well.
So, it’s just over three hours.
The high-speed train arrived at Jiangcheng Station.
At this time, it was already half past one in the morning.
The staff of the Jiangcheng City Meritorious Children Committee were already waiting for her at the station entrance.
Qin Keqing pushed the suitcase and walked over.
The staff who had been prepared immediately swarmed up to her, took her salute, and began to greet her.
But Qin Keqing couldn't help but search around for the figure of the black-clad Lieutenant General, but unfortunately, he never saw it!
She had no choice but to look back with regret.
Surrounded by staff, we got into the prepared official car and drove away from the high-speed rail station.
………………………………
Lingpingan raised his head and looked at the time on the wall.
He couldn't help but yawn.
It's already one forty.
After thinking about it, he entered your message in the friend column: Miss Hu, it's too late, I won't play today...
Classmate Xiaoyao: Okay! Good night, sir!
Lingpingan nodded and stood up.
Snap!
As he stood up, the chair behind him made a strange noise.
Looking back, it turned out that one of the chair legs was overwhelmed and finally broke.
He scratched his head and observed three seconds of silence for his chair.
Then, he remembered.
It seems that the concept of ergonomic chairs is very popular recently!
Can I buy one back?
Um……
For work, it’s not a luxury!
So, he happily walked to the door, pulled down the rolling shutter, and locked the door.
Meow!
His pet jumped down from the counter obediently and appeared in front of him.
Lingpingan put a towel on it and poured some cat food for it. Then he turned off the lights and walked upstairs with his cell phone.
He was a little sleepy and just wanted to sleep.
Crunchy...
In the darkness, the sound of the stairs seemed even more permeable.
The kitten on the towel opened its eyes. The amber cat eyes reflected the corner of the stairs illuminated by the light of the mobile phone.
The master's shadow was reflected on the stairs, and countless pairs of eyes opened from the shadow.
Each one is extremely cold, ruthless and ferocious.
"Master, he's starting to master the rules..." Mao Mao thought, "The speed of his recovery is far beyond imagination..."
"I hope he won't wake up too soon..."
If it's too fast...
Best knew that no one had a good harvest.
Except for those guys who are willing to risk their lives.
No one wants this great but ruthless master to wake up faster than expected.
If that happens, everything will restart.
Everything will return to zero.
Whether you can survive or not actually does not depend on anything.
Just depends on luck...
If you are lucky and can be remembered, you will survive.
