Chapter 1053 Cooperation (Part 2)
In the dark room, Taotao curled up on the sofa, watching CBV TV programs, with some leftovers on the table.
Taotao's eyes revealed a trace of longing. She could no longer go back to her career as a front-line reporter for many years. What would her fate be like? Her stomach was swelling day by day. Taotao hugged her legs, and the smile of the man on the screen was like a blade.
She was only 35 years old, and there were at least 100 years left in the future. Taotao didn't dare to think about it. The painful emotions tortured her every day.

Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, the lights came on, Taotao raised her head, and a trace of spirit was restored in her eyes.
"Doctor!"
Zhao Zhen carried some food, put it down with a smile, and began to help Taotao check her body.
"It's okay, everything is normal, eat more fish and eggs, I'll make it for you."
Zhao Zhen just got up and grabbed him with one hand.
Taotao was trembling at this time. Zhao Zhen turned his head away in confusion. Taotao lowered her head and pursed her lips without saying a word. These days, the only warmth she felt was from the serious man in front of her.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Miss Taotao."
Taotao shook her head.
"Doctor, what do you think I should do in the future?"
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and shook his head with a smile.
"I'm not too sure, but I think Miss Taotao, sometimes happiness is given to yourself. My wife used to say this to me. I hope you are the same. The baby in your belly is getting bigger day by day. The child can feel the mother's emotions. You should relax!"
Taotao hummed, let go of her hand, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and stroked her belly.
"I'm hungry, doctor!"
Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, carrying a bunch of food into the room, but his eyes stayed on the tip of the knife in his hand. He took out a black booklet from his arms, on which were printed the words "World Destroyer".
Time can smooth everything, but it can't erase everything! Because human memory is permanent, even if a century has passed, as long as people are still alive, even if it is just a few short fragments, these memories will not be erased with the passage of time!
The only way is not to recall!
However, people also like to look back on the past life, the past sadness and laughter, the past success and failure, the past excitement and ending, these things will remain in people's minds for a long time, no one can escape!
Strong people choose to face everything, and fragile people choose to escape everything!
Unfortunately! In the future, human life expectancy will be further improved with the advancement of medical technology. In the future, it is not a foolish dream for humans to simply live through a century.
Someone once said that a person's life is a painful life, a life of suffering, because happy moments are always short and fleeting.
And people! It is a lonely life, from birth to death, it is the same.
When the length of life increases, it means that the time of pain that people need to endure will also increase exponentially!
What should we do?
The surging torrent of life will never stop. The relationship between the unit of time and time only allows you to see time concretely and then walk. Putting aside the unit of time, time is actually irrelevant because it is always walking.
Unfortunately! When your life is stretched, the pain in your life will also be stretched, but joy will not, because we are thinking animals, and because we have thoughts, we suffer.
Again! What I want to warn you is that when you are in such a world in the future, the only thing you can do is to find as many points as possible that can make you happy in endless pain. A road does not lead to only one place, but to the world!
Go and create happiness! Happiness makes a painful life complete and makes a black and white life colorful. You don’t need anyone to give it to you!

Zhao Zhen carefully cut the fish meat, and there was a little smile on his face. This booklet was given to him by someone when he was in great pain. At that time, that person looked very young and was in the same prison as himself.
"You look very painful, uncle. Do you want to see this?"
In just half an hour, Zhao Zhen prepared some fish soup and steamed eggs and brought them to the table. It was just past 7 o'clock, and the TV program officially started.
"How about I go out with you later? It's not good to stay in the room all the time. There are not many people on the street now."
Tao Tao smiled happily and nodded. Looking at the man sitting in the middle of the TV, Tao Tao's feeling now was different from before. She looked at Zhao Zhen next to her.
"Doctor, your wife must be very happy!"
Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, just nodded.
Pan Hua was facing the camera with a smile on his face. Duke was sitting on the right and Hu Youran was sitting on the left. The three of them were still chatting about what happened this morning.
At this time, Hu Youran was excited. He had to do something to follow the trend. He must not let Le Xiao's good start go to waste.
All day today, Hu Youran was watching the polls in the city. The polls of the middle and upper classes were basically mocking the Operations Department crazily. The parliamentarian faction also brought some rhythm, but it stopped at 5 pm.
After all, the councillors are not fools. They are in the same situation as the operations department. Only those ignorant new councillors are meddling in the matter. Hu Youran knows very well that they have no way out.
Watching others fall into the water and mocking them on the shore, the fate may be even worse when you fall into the water yourself one day. Some faction councillors are naturally aware of this, so even if they keep their voices down, the impact is still there.
What Hu Youran feels most gratified about is the grassroots, because after a series of actions in the past few days, the grassroots, who should have been more dissatisfied, unconsciously stood on the side of the Operations Department in this truth disclosure.
"Okay, what do you think the significance of today's incident is for our entire city!"
Duke nodded and spoke first.
"Let me talk about it first. Although many people still think that it is shameful for the Department of Action to deceive the public with lies, the Department of Action has not made any statement all day today. I think this attitude is desirable. Any power system will have disadvantages to some extent, and if the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, it is not desirable. But in fact, you can see that the general environment of society in the past few years is actually more beneficial than disadvantages. At least this time the Department of Action can disclose such a big problem. After all, there may be greater disease disasters in the future, so this time the disclosure of the truth is worthy of praise." At this time, many people who were watching the live broadcast started to make fun of it. Duke's words were always smooth, and he always deliberately avoided some direct questions, but instead said good things to the Department of Action in a roundabout way. This made many people very disgusted with Duke. Because the disclosure of the truth and how to deal with subsequent disasters are irrelevant to many people. They just want to know how it happened. It is not caused by poor supervision. Many people think that the Department of Action and businessmen are in the same boat. "Then Mr. Duke, some friends said that this kind of thing should be explained, but why did it drag on to this point? Why do you think it is!"
Pan Hua's words made many people watching the live broadcast stop talking, and instead looked at Duke, who said with a smile on his face.
"Deception is actually a relatively moderate means of protection in human society, just like many animals in nature always rely on the natural environment to hide or pretend to be dead, all in order to escape the stomach of natural enemies, of course! I am not saying that deception is correct, but think about it, the riots have just ended. If the harm is announced immediately, it may trigger a second or even third round of riots. Aren't ordinary people still injured? In fact, everyone can regard the practice of the Action Department as a way to protect ordinary people!"
As soon as Duke finished speaking, someone immediately started to ridicule with dissatisfaction.
"This old guy is really trying to turn black into white."
"Besides, have you ever thought about it? After the riot caused by the accident, the Operations Department immediately intervened in the investigation. This morning, Mr. Le Xiao announced the truth about those unknown chemical additives. Many professionals have already spoken out. It is too difficult to solve them. Therefore, it is necessary to appease the people and investigate. I believe that the Operations Department will announce some investigation results soon."
Pan Hua smiled and nodded.
"But some people compare the past water pollution poisoning incidents with the drug control incidents by pharmaceutical companies. What do you think, Mr. Duke?"
"You can actually see that after the water pollution incident, the water molecule extraction system was finally established in each district. Now everyone doesn't have to worry about water problems at all. Has there been an accident caused by water in the past 50 years? Let's take a look at the medical associations that monopolized medical equipment in the past. It was difficult to see a doctor, and the high cost of seeing a doctor became the core problem of the large volume. How many demonstrations broke out at that time? But now! The 4th department has taken over the medical care and at least solved the problem of expensive medical care, but the shortage of medical personnel is indeed difficult, because as a doctor, you have to be responsible for the patient, and it takes too long to train a doctor who can be responsible for the patient. With one of the two dilemmas removed, do you really think that the practice of the operation department is really not advisable at all?"
After Duke finished speaking, Pan Hua applauded hurriedly. Although Hu Youran knew that it was a rehearsal in advance, retreating to advance has always been the practice of this program.
Hu Youran was naturally very clear that the unchanged state of the Operations Department over the years began with the change of section chiefs. Sections 3 and 5, which were once the most corrupt, were no longer criticized after the change of section chiefs. Many reforms were actually very successful. The only thing Hu Youran was dissatisfied with was the deception, and it was a long-term deception.
"Old Hu, what do you think, from an economic perspective!"
Pan Hua and Duke looked at Hu Youran nervously. He smiled and nodded. Both of them were a little scared because they were afraid that Hu Youran would say something shocking again. If this continued, this program with prime ratings in the city would be suspended. Pan Hua was very scared. He had been severely warned by people from Section 1 last time.
"What is the economy!"
Hu Youran said, sitting up straight and looking at the camera seriously.
"First of all, I want to explain to you the relationship between economy and power. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of money and power!"
Duke was shocked and winked at Hu Youran desperately.
Hu Youran ignored Duke. At this time, Xingyuan was sitting on the city wall of the brightly lit Eastern Guard Station, watching the live broadcast in the cold wind. Looking at the planes taking off and landing one after another, loaded with food and heading to the barrier area, a rare smile appeared on his face.
Xingyuan and Hu Youran are old friends, but they rarely get together in recent years. Because Hu Youran was kicked out by major companies, he could only be forced to appear on CBV programs. In recent years, Hu Youran has been very talkative. Be careful, it often ends without getting the idea right, but in the past few days, Xingyuan saw Hu Youran's sudden voice, so he spent the money to buy food without hesitation.
Social responsibility is an important part of many people who have a voice in society. There are people like Duke and people like Hu Youran. However, Xingyuan has remained silent since more than 20 years ago. Put everything into the work.
Regarding some readers' interpretations, Xingyuan never spoke out because he knew very well that silence is also a kind of power, and what can be conveyed does not need to be explained.
"Come on, Old Hu!"
Xingyuan took a sip from the bottle. Several inspectors from Section 3 persuaded Xingyuan to go to the checkpoint. He just smiled and shook his head.
“In the perception of many people, money and power are inseparable. If you have money but no power, even if you have all kinds of abilities, you still can’t do what you want to do. But if you have power, if you don’t have the support of money, even if you can Doing thousands of things, it’s still all in vain.”
Duke and Pan Hua on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and Hu Youran continued.
"In this world, good rights do not need any embellishment, because the people who support this right will praise it. Nothing in this world is more deeply rooted in people's hearts than praise from the heart! And bad rights, Even if you try every possible means to embellish and beautify it, when this layer of things is peeled off, all you will see is holes in it!”
Hu Youran stood up as he spoke and opened a light and shadow screen.
"We are not here today to discuss the rights and wrongs of business, nor are we here to question or question, what exactly is the economy? It is a lever that lifts things several times heavier, and the longer this lever is, the stronger it becomes. Things are heavier! The thing that power gives money is the lever of economy. Is it possible for human society to have no economy? The answer is no, power and money are indispensable. But have you ever thought about it? , Money and power do not separate families, but can they be separated or divided temporarily?”
Duke understood what Hu Youran was going to say, and instantly felt a lot more relaxed. Pan Hua next to him didn't understand, and looked slightly embarrassed.
At this time, Hu Youran called up a chart. The one at the top is God, and below are the members on the left and the executive department on the right. The combination of the two is the Congress, and below are the businessmen, family celebrities, etc. Below is a long horizontal bar with ordinary people on top.
"The gods have the right to decide anything, but in recent years, I have listened to countless city meetings. In the end, everything is decided by the votes of the council members and the executive branch. And what are the businessmen? It is the leverage I just mentioned. , and the people who control this lever are the administrative departments and parliamentarian groups on both sides. Under this power system, the rights of the city are divided into two pieces, and both sides will leverage the economic lever of merchants against each other. Leverage, the development of a city is inseparable from the power systems of both sides. The two sides may seem to be hostile, but at the same time they are also checks and balances. The merchant's lever will not be too long or too short under the checks and balances of the two. , the city can develop!”
At this time, many people were listening to Hu Youran's story attentively. Many people already had these things subconsciously, but now Hu Youran said it more specifically.
"In the past, many countries have adopted a similar system, but instead of separating the group of members and the group that governs society, they integrated it so that businessmen would rise to the second level. Once the businessmen Once you reach the second level, capital will control everything. In the past, there was no god, so money and power could not be differentiated. Everything was based on capital, and it was very difficult to move forward with the power of capital. The terrible thing is that once the power of capital goes wild, it will always be the people at the bottom who suffer, but at least the rights system in our city is desirable now.”
Hu Youran said and bowed.
"Just now, we received the news!"
While speaking, Pan Hua nodded. At this time, separate light and shadow screens appeared in the streets and alleys, and Hu Youran's picture was adjusted to the upper right corner.
"It's a pity! Due to the harsh environment in the barrier area, a large-scale disease broke out due to this batch of poisonous food. Now the business department has established 18 temporary medical settlements to accommodate these poor patients."
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar, and at this time some more specific pictures were released.
Many people looked at everything in front of them in astonishment.
"The reason why we let them enter the edge of the ravine is to jointly deal with the crisis brought about by this accident! The greatness of a rights system does not lie in what it has done for the people, nor in what it can bring to the people, but in that, in times of crisis, this system can provide safe and reliable protection for the people. The approach of the Action Department tonight is correct, so I hope everyone will have fewer doubts and more considerations. We have experienced countless disasters in the past, whether man-made or natural, and they have been effectively controlled in a very short time. As long as we take the right attitude when problems arise, I feel lucky at this moment. This is what I want to say. Here I call on some people and some non-governmental organizations. What makes people great! It is because they can lend a helping hand when facing misery. Today's medical pressure is very high. If there are people who feel they can help, please contribute a little of your own strength! Although it is small, there is actually no difference between 1 cent and 10 million. The only difference is the balance in your heart!"
Pan Hua stood up with a smile, and together with Duke next to him, the three bowed to the camera, and the short live broadcast ended.
