Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 989 No one knows 'Rui Zhou' better than me

After the new director of the opposite party took office, I don’t know if it was because his outspoken style itself was a traffic selling point, or if there was some instigation from the opposite media behind the scenes, but the entire Internet exploded for a while.

If we have to describe his "popularity", we can only use "Zhou Rui level".

In the past few years, Zhou Rui has been the focus of global media and the Internet, and now he has an equally matched opponent.
But it was just "heat". From the first day of taking office, the new director reported more scandals than praises.
Even though he didn't do anything.
How much material is there on the Internet? Zhou Rui felt that the other party did not have a single minute of office time, and his main job was to face the camera.
There is another piece of content related to him.

"I know 'Rui Zhou', the tech guy, he's pretty smart I have to say, but he's too conservative, I mean he should come to North America and have dinner with me."

That expression made Zhou Rui miss it so much.

"All it takes is a meal, I'll share my favorite American burger, I'll put my arm around his shoulder and say, 'Son, we've got big plans,' and you know what will happen? He'll build a factory in the United States, create thousands of jobs and significant tax revenue."

Reporter: "As far as I know, Rui Zhou never invests in manufacturing in other countries. What if he doesn't want to?"

The other party held up two fingers and said firmly: "He won't do that. No one knows Rui Zhou better than me."

Zhou Rui: Thank you. I will.

This guy is so funny.

He was increasingly looking forward to changes on the other side.

Compared to the previous life, the situation on the other side is much more complicated than in the previous life because of the biggest variable, our own family.

Whatever Trump took over was a mess, and what he left behind might be a super mess.

----

The next day, the arrangement was similar to the day before. Some people went on a tour with Xinyuan Yui and others, and some people continued their livelihood investigation with Zhou Rui at a welfare home.

Needless to say, there is also a full-length portrait of him.

The Ryukyu tsunami caused serious casualties, and there was no aid or reconstruction for more than half a year. Even more people died from illness and other reasons, so many orphans were created.

Zhou Rui funded three welfare homes, but they were still overcrowded. According to Weng Chang Zhixiong, the three welfare homes could only accommodate less than 400 people, but the actual number of "orphans" should be several times more than that.

What limits the size of a welfare home is not its area but its staff and management.

Zhou Rui asked where the others had gone, and Weng Chang Zhixiong said:

"Those over fifteen basically enter society naturally. The committee has recruited many young people as 'odd jobs' to provide them with a living."

"Among the rest, most still need socialization, such as adoption by distant relatives or families who have lost children."

Compared to yesterday's "Shangxue High School", the children here are even more unfortunate.

When we walked into the welfare home, nearly a hundred children were standing under the statue to greet us. Many of them were too young to be restrained and were just playing around, chasing around the statue.

Zhou Rui suddenly felt that his statue was not that ugly.

There are only seven or eight permanent staff members in the welfare home, and it is obviously not possible for them to manage hundreds of children. They need to rely on nearby volunteers for help.

Zhou Rui discovered that these children were particularly familiar with "Shang Zhi", as if the other party had come here often before. Perhaps some of their white hair were due to the welfare home.

Zhou Rui encouraged the staff and volunteers here. As for the children, he just said a few words, but couldn't say much.

Before leaving, he left behind a large amount of supplies, including toys, clothes, food, candy, etc., filling a whole truck.

However, considering the number of people here, it is estimated that they will be used up soon.

When leaving for the next welfare home, Zhou Rui asked, "Is the welfare home's expenses sufficient?"

He funded this place, but he doesn't actually know the specific circumstances.

If Gan Yuan were here, she would know something. Some of Zhou Rui's charitable investments were handled by her, including those in Ryukyu and a larger amount in China.

Ongaga Zhixiong: "It's enough. We can't say that we provide very good conditions, because raising children is an unlimited thing. We can only try our best to let them grow up safely and have the opportunity to enter society."

"Welfare homes" and "poverty alleviation" have a lot in common. Simply throwing money around cannot solve the fundamental problem. The key is how to help them smoothly integrate into the "social system" and have their own place.

The time these children spend in the welfare home is only a small part of their lives.

Zhou Rui nodded and said, "At least going to school must be guaranteed. By the way, the dropout rate among minors in Ryukyu is probably not low, not just the children in the welfare home. I hope to see statistics and reports on this before I leave."

Onaga Shio nodded immediately.

"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."

"Also, I think the Ryukyu samurai families can take on the corresponding responsibilities. I can pay for the expenses, but the volunteers from each family must be arranged."

"Okay, I'll have them come more often."

"It's not about coming often, but it's a regular thing. It's an obligation. More contact, more help."

"clear."

Onaga Zhixiong was a little confused about what the boss meant, but he thought it would be the right thing to do immediately.

After that, Zhou Rui went to two more welfare homes, and the situation was similar to the first one.

Sympathize, encourage, and leave supplies.

In the afternoon, we went to a farm here, which was the home of Kenichiro Nakamori, whose fields were damaged by sea water when we came here last time.

It is worth mentioning that not all surnames can be traced back to Chinese surnames. Even among the indigenous people, some of them completely cut off their inheritance during the long period of colonization and used purely Japanese surnames, such as Nakamori.

But in order to respond to the call for cultural revival, he still gave himself a Chinese surname.

Called "Zhen Jianyilang"

Zhou Rui: "What a rare surname. How did you come up with it?"

Zhen Jianyilang smiled and touched the back of his head: "I originally wanted to use 'Zhen', the name for a real man, but then the people from the Cultural Bureau said there was no such surname. There was only Zhen, and I still don't know how to write it..."

Zhou Rui gave a thumbs up: "You are really talented."

Zhen Jianyilang happily took Zhou Rui to see his rice fields.

"Zhou Sama, after you left, meteorological experts soon came to Ryukyu with artificial rainfall equipment, and instructed us to store water in the fields and release water in the fields. After repeating this for a month, the saline-alkali land that had been soaked by seawater returned to normal. Not only me, but most of the farmland in Ryukyu has recovered."

"I have already harvested a round of wheat in June. I used the seeds sent from China and cooperated with the management of the agricultural god. The yield is actually a little higher than before. Now I am planting the second round of rice." Zhou Rui casually pinched a handful of soil at the edge of the field and pinched off a few rice ears. After a while, he said: "The salinization problem has been basically solved, but remember to apply nitrogen fertilizer in a few days to prevent nitrogen deficiency."

He is good at growing this kind of crops, especially rice.

Zhen Jianyilang said emotionally: "Zhou Sama, please stay tonight and let me entertain you. The farmers around here all want to thank you for saving their lives!"

Zhou Rui looked at Weng Chang Zhixiong beside him and asked, "How are the dinner arrangements for today?"

“Originally I was in Naha City.”

"Let's change it here. I'll find out more about the situation from them."

He suddenly realized that there was a god of agriculture on Ryukyu Island.

And there are actually quite a few abandoned fields because the population has decreased a lot.

Those orphans may be able to become farmers at low cost with the help of the God of Agriculture in the future. For example, if the government contracts for centralized production, it can be considered a very good livelihood. With the God of Agriculture, farming is not too hard and the threshold is not high.

-----

At the same time, on the beach near Sunset Hotel, several tourists were walking on the beach.

“That’s it? It’s far worse than Jeju Island.”

"This morning the hotel actually reminded me that we used too much shampoo. It really made me laugh. Small places are just poor."

"And they are all cheap Chinese products. It feels like this place is completely occupied by China."

On the beach, three men are walking along the seashore.

Because they have three bald heads, they look particularly special.

They are ordinary tourists in Ryukyu. As the reconstruction goes more and more smoothly, this once tourist mecca will still attract some independent travelers.

Some came by plane, some by ship, and most came with curiosity about this broken island country.

As we were walking, a little girl suddenly jumped out from the beach. She was skinny and dark-skinned, with hair stuck to her forehead by sweat. She was carrying a bucket that was neither too big nor too small, and said with a big smile, "Seafood, how about that?"

The three of them looked at each other and took a look at what was in the girl's bucket. It was quite a lot, all of which were valuable plump shellfish, and there were also several crabs.
One of them said in English: "How much?"

The girl gestured a number with her hands: "100."

After thinking about it, he changed it to another number: "50."

After she went back the day before yesterday, her mother taught her that 100 was too expensive and 50 would be a suitable number.

The harvest from this bucket was particularly rich. I originally wanted 100, but after thinking it over I changed my mind to 50.

One of them looked delighted, took out his wallet, took out a 100-yen coin, put it in the little girl's hand, and then reached out to take the bucket.

The girl immediately withdrew her hand.
Both the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan are now used on the island. Although she is young, she knows that the two have different values.

No matter how cheap it is, 100 yen is too much.
The man said with a straight face: "You agreed on 50, I already gave you an extra tip."

The little girl’s English was not very good either. She could understand short phrases like “how much?” but she obviously didn’t understand long sentences like this.

The other bald man held his companion's hand, put on a bright smile and said to the little girl:
"We, Zhonggu Geng, Zhonggu! China!~"

The little girl showed a puzzled expression.

"Can you give this to us?"

The little girl bit her lip and looked hesitant.

But thinking of my mother's teachings, I still handed the bucket over.

The three men immediately smiled and switched to Korean: "I was wondering if this method would work. Yesterday at that restaurant, as soon as they said we were Chinese, they immediately gave us a free meal. These people are so stupid."

Suddenly, two huge figures blocked the three people.

Well, it’s not that huge, it’s just that the sun is at a low angle and the shadows are very long.

Shan Chunyuan held up a colorful plastic squirting gun in one hand, his chest hair puffed out: "Let me see who is pretending to be Chinese, and which department are you from!"

All the Chinese people on this beach are from the Sunset Hotel. He has never seen these three people before.

Three bald guys, it’s impossible not to have an impression!
On the other side, the fat Che Qian was holding an empty bucket and subconsciously protected the little girl behind him.

He bought a bucket of seafood from the little girl yesterday. After returning home, he asked the hotel chef to help him make it into a midnight snack. He ate it deliciously and agreed to come back today to return the empty bucket. As a result, he saw these three suspicious people deceiving the little girl.

The three bald men stared at Shan Chunyuan with fierce looks, trying to scare him away with their eyes. Shan Chunyuan immediately switched to "Three Northeastern Provinces Friendly Mode": "What are you looking at? I'm asking you a question! Are you mute?!"

Seeing that they couldn't intimidate this hairy man, the three bald guys turned around and started to leave, cursing, with a lot of gossip.

Shan Chunyuan didn't understand either, but it further confirmed that these three people were pretending to be Chinese.

"stop!"

The man carrying the bucket became furious and threw the bucket of seafood out deliberately.

The plastic bucket flew out in a circle for more than ten meters, and broke into pieces after landing, with the seafood inside scattered all over the beach.

The little girl immediately rushed out crying, lying on the ground and trying to catch the escaped crab. Her thin figure staggered on the beach, looking particularly embarrassed.

This completely angered Shan Chunyuan: "You little bastard! Are you itching for trouble?"

However, the first to take action was Che Qian. This guy rushed out directly, with his fat body lowered and his shoulders pressed down, one arm placed in front of him, like a rhinoceros, and directly knocked a short bald man away.

The other two immediately turned around and started wrestling with Che Qian, swearing and cursing all the time.

Shan Chunyuan was stunned, but he didn't have time to pay attention to why Che Qian seemed "quite organized". His brothers were fighting with others, so why was hesitating!

"Friendly Model of the Three Northeastern Provinces": Let's hit them back together first!

A running kick!
"I #your%!"

At sunset on the beach, a 2V3 team battle suddenly broke out.
