When Mayor Qi woke up, he found himself lying in a dark room.

With the faint light leaking in from the one-foot-square ventilation hole on the wall, he saw clearly his situation. This was a small room of only about three square meters. He called it a room because it was surrounded by walls. Knocked by hand, it is indeed made of bricks.

If it is replaced with steel wire or other materials, it may be more like a big cage here.

In addition to an iron door, that is, the air vent with thick finger-thick steel bars, and an old dark quilt spread on the floor, no one knows who slept there.

The quilt has not been washed for a long time, and the floor is damp and not exposed to the sun, so there is a strong smell of sweat and musty, which makes people want to vomit.

This is where?Mayor Qi stood up, covered his nose with his hand, leaned against the wall, frowning and thinking.

He graduated from the most famous university in Hangzhou. If he can get admitted there, he must have a high IQ. The only thing he lacks is that because he has lived a smooth life since he was a child, he has never experienced hardships or intrigues, so he knows the dangers of human nature. not deep.

This experience made him start to reflect on his previous behavior.

Were you too naive before?When dealing with colleagues and superiors, he is too direct and lacks strategy. When dealing with problems, he does not know how to use skills. After knowing that the company has an interest dispute with the town and city leaders, he still does not know how to protect himself. If he is smarter, he just needs to put this If the incident is reported to the relevant department in private, he will not be suspended.

When I was at home, I knew that the man was in danger. After the other party lied, I quickly relaxed my vigilance. If I could take advantage of the terrain at home, I would quickly escape to another room and call the police when he opened the bag. , the following things will not happen?

Well now, this place is obviously not a good place, and I don't know what kind of cruel fate will be waiting for me.

After touching his body, all his mobile phone keys and other items were confiscated. It seems that it is impossible to contact the outside world.

"Wow, woof, woof——" A dog barking suddenly came from outside, interrupting his random thoughts, and then he heard a burst of disorderly footsteps and the sound of closing and locking the door.

someone?I don't know what these people do?Could it be that he was arrested just like himself?Mayor Qi stood on tiptoe, trying to climb up the ventilation hole to see what's going on outside, but the ventilation window was too high, and he still couldn't reach it after trying several times.

He leaned against the wall in frustration, and the more he thought about it, the more flustered he became.

"It's time to eat—" A large coarse porcelain bowl was suddenly inserted through the ventilation hole and placed on the wall.Mayor Qi happened to be hungry, so he just reached out and took it off carefully.

A bowl of ordinary rice with some pickles and some sliced ​​fatty meat on top. The meat and vegetables still looked fried and smelled fragrant.With such a food supply, the situation here is better than I imagined.

Mayor Qi didn't care too much, he buried his head and started to eat, thinking quickly, is this a labor camp?

Not quite like a prison?Where is it?

※※※

That night, Mayor Qi couldn't bear the smell of the quilt, so he sat on the ground and leaned against the wall to take a nap. At some point, he couldn't hold back the sleepiness, and fell to the ground, forgetting the smell of the quilt.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by a bang bang bang bang sound, and then the iron door that had been closed for most of the day also opened.

"Get up quickly, get to work after breakfast—" a rude male voice called.

Mayor Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he could finally leave the room.

Being locked up in a narrow space for a long time is depressing to death. If you can't go to an open place to breathe, people will be driven crazy.

Outside is a long corridor with countless small rooms on both sides, but the area is much larger than the one he lives in. According to his estimation, it should be about [-] square meters. There is also a row of quilts on the floor. It is estimated that every room is sleeping. Several people.

These people came out sporadically, there were about fifty or sixty people, and they should not be very old, the oldest was less than 40 years old, but they were all men.Mayor Qi followed behind them, observing the surroundings attentively, but he didn't ask them casually about the situation here.

Walking out of the corridor, there is a canteen, which looks no different from the canteens of some small private factories, with long tables and plastic stools, where anyone can sit.

On both sides of the dining table by the window, there is a water faucet. These people flock there to brush their teeth and wash their faces. Mayor Qi doesn't have these things, so he can only hold some water in his mouth, rinse his mouth, and then splash the water on his face On, simply washed and washed.

The innermost one is the kitchen, and now there are several large iron buckets at the door, and there is enthusiasm in them, probably something like white porridge.

Mayor Qi followed with a set of bowls and chopsticks, and lined up to get breakfast.

When he first came out of the room, he ruled out that this was a prison or a labor camp, thinking that he might have been caught in a black coal or black brick kiln.

But looking at the situation now, that kind of place should be much darker and crueler than here, black workers are not regarded as human beings, and there are all those who were injured and killed, and although there is no freedom here, the food is not bad Yes, there is no supervisor standing by with a weapon, ready to call at any time.

There have been related reports on the Internet in the past few years, and he has also seen news in this regard.

After breakfast, they were taken to a large room that looked like an assembly workshop, where stacks of brand new banknotes were piled up everywhere.

This must not be a mint here, so the truth is finally revealed.

Counterfeit money?Mayor Qi was taken aback.

※※※

When everyone sat down at the table, a middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge threw several stacks of 20 yuan notes in front of them, and then urged them to hurry up.

The money should have just been printed, and it smelled of ink, and the surface was too smooth, so it was obviously counterfeit.

In front of Mayor Qi, besides the money, there was also a steel plate with patterns on the surface. He didn’t know what to do when he came here for the first time, but he saw the person next to him skillfully picking up the money and putting it on the protruding part of the steel plate. On the pattern, touch the three-dimensional part of the banknote with your hand, and rub it back and forth with your fingers a few times. When you pick it up, the originally smooth banknote has more bumps.

amazing.Mayor Qi was secretly amazed, he had imitated his example, put the banknote on the steel plate, scratched it with his finger a few times, picked it up and touched it with his hand, if you don't look at it with your eyes, it feels exactly the same as the real one.

He quietly turned his head to look at the person next to him.The room was divided into several groups. Some people sprayed the banknotes with liquid medicine and then dried them with a hair dryer. After the banknotes were corroded by the liquid medicine, they became obviously older and more realistic.Some people put the four sides of the money on a steel file and scrape it with a piece of plastic, and the lines on the side of the banknote will appear.Some people take something like a seal, dip it in a little special ink, and press it on the anti-counterfeiting watermark, and there will be a clear watermark on the banknote, and the difference can't be seen even if it is illuminated with a purple light.

It is really difficult to tell the authenticity of the banknotes processed in this way.Mayor Qi didn't dare to look at it, but felt his heart beating wildly. These people actually used the assembly line to manufacture a large number of counterfeit coins. It seemed that he had entered a large-scale den of counterfeiting coins.

After Zhao Mingde entered the Government Affairs Council, he felt that the burden on his body became heavier all of a sudden.

In recent years, the domestic economy has been sluggish. Although the economic growth rate announced to the public is close to or exceeding [-]%, as the helm of the government, he naturally knows that there is moisture in it, except for the depreciation of the renminbi and the inflated housing prices. Apart from the false prosperity caused by industrial factors, the real economic situation is not optimistic.

In particular, the real economy has suffered the biggest setback since the reform and opening up. A large number of private enterprises have closed down, and a large number of self-employed people have closed their doors due to poor management. Foreign orders are also unprofitable due to the excessive growth of domestic labor. Thailand, Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia.

Fortunately, national leaders and other high-level leaders have taken a long-term view and put forward the idea of ​​economic transformation.

A large amount of high technology has been transformed into productivity, some new materials have been developed and manufactured, and the construction of aviation and high-speed railways has been accelerated, creating a number of new large-scale enterprises and squeezing into the top [-] domestic enterprises.

For the countryside, the concept of beautiful countryside was put forward. The saying that green mountains and green waters are golden mountains and silver mountains has become the consensus of all people of insight. It has become a trend to develop rural tourism and build the most beautiful countryside.

For Zhao Mingde, the Government Affairs Council is the unit that implements these principles and policies, so the focus of his future work is to implement these advantages and continue to promote the transformation of the domestic economy.

The occurrence of this landslide incident in southern Fujian Province this time was, in the final analysis, caused by the violation of laws and regulations by relevant departments and the lack of daily supervision.Letting small mining companies that build and mine indiscriminately run counter to the central government's policy of shutting down small mining companies.

Looking at the accident investigation and handling opinions sent by the investigation team, Zhao Mingde's heart was very heavy.

The investigation team put forward handling opinions on 54 responsible persons.Among them, 32 people have taken criminal coercive measures by the judiciary, including: 16 enterprise-related personnel who have been investigated by the public security agency and have taken criminal coercive measures (the two main criminals are at large), and those who have been investigated by the procuratorial agency and who have taken criminal coercive measures. 14 criminals.

调查组另对22名相关责任人员提出了处理意见:建议对百乐市委市政府2名负责人等22名责任人员给予党纪政纪处分,其中厅局级3人、县处级9人、科级及以下10人;建议对百乐市委、市政府主要负责人等2名责任人员进行通报批评。

The investigation team also suggested that the Minnan Provincial Government be instructed to conduct a deep inspection to the Government Administration Council, and the Baile Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government be instructed to conduct an in-depth inspection to the Southern Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government.

The main filming location of the new movie is Huaihai Middle Road in Shanghai.The streets there are clean and tidy, the sky is covered by plane trees, and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant.

Because the film is about the grievances of a wealthy family, the crew specially rented an old western-style building as a place for the protagonist to talk about love and live.

It was the first time for Chen Rong to stand in front of the camera. She was very nervous, her facial expression could not relax, her hands and feet were also very stiff, and she completely forgot the acting skills that the teacher taught her in school.

Fortunately, everyone knows that she is acting for the first time, and she is more tolerant of her mistakes, and some patiently taught her some points of attention and tips in acting.

Who told her that she was arranged by the boss?Before they figured out her identity, no one showed her face because of the high number of NGs.

But Chen Rong still felt ashamed, so when she finished filming her part, she went back to the rest area alone and sat there sullenly.

"Rongrong, don't be sad, it's like this for the first time, you're already very good." Xiao Wang, the assistant arranged by Uncle Huang, came over with a bottle of water and comforted her softly.

"Don't comfort me, I know it." Chen Rong still felt that she couldn't forgive herself. After all, she was so resolute in choosing film and television acting because she had confidence in her performance. She didn't expect to make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

At such times, she needs the support of her friends the most. She takes out her mobile phone and prepares to share her bitterness with her buddies in the same dormitory.

After hearing Chen Rong finish talking about the embarrassing things that happened to her at the scene, Yuan Li snorted and said, "Then what else do you want? It's good enough that Director Li can do it for you. He's notoriously strict. Don't tell me you're relying on Can a movie become the queen's dream?"

"I'm dizzy, are you mad at me or are you comforting me?" Chen Rong said angrily. "Say a few nice words and you will die."

There are movie shoots in freshman year, or female second, how many people have this kind of opportunity?It would be a lie to say that you are not envious.

But there is no way, who told Chen Rong to have a good life, and it has something to do with the background?

The last time she met Chen Rong's cousin and his friends, they didn't look like ordinary people. She still wanted to go after that handsome guy and become Chen Rong's cousin, but unfortunately the handsome guy didn't like her.

"Why do I need to comfort you? If you feel that acting is too hard or too tiring, I'll help you!" Yuan Li has the best personal relationship with Chen Rong, so naturally he is not afraid that she will get angry with him.

"I'm sorry! When Uncle Huang notified me this time, he had already decided on a role. In the next movie, I will definitely ask Uncle Huang for help, and let you play tricks too." Chen Rong knew Yuan Li's thoughts, so she had no choice but to comfort her in this way.

Fourth Brother invested in the movie, and she dared not make casual commitments to important roles. Fourth Brother and Uncle Huang should give themselves face for some insignificant small roles.

"Let's forget about the characters without lines, at least the characters with some lines." Yuan Li knew that Chen Rong couldn't make jokes, so he bargained with her.

"I'll do my best." Chen Rong said straightforwardly.

As the investigation of the case deepened, more and more suspects were dug up.

Of course, this is just a suspect and has not been verified.It is not yet possible to startle the snake.Not many people knew about this list, and the person involved didn't even know that he had been investigated to the bottom.

Thinking that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, there were more than 600 relevant personnel found, which must have missed a considerable number of people.In southern Fujian Province, more than 400 people have also been detected. According to his understanding, almost all of the people that the organization contacted were from poor backgrounds and clean families. Where did so much money come from?

To make a random estimate, if there are 400 people in each province, then there are more than 1 people in the whole country.According to the ten people who are sponsored, half of them can be successfully accepted as members of the organization, and there are [-] people.

To sponsor a student, at least [-] yuan a year.Help a civil servant at least [-] a year.Those who are at a higher level need to double the amount of money to open the way, so that they can climb up quickly, at least several billion in that year.

Besides, this does not include the college students who are currently being sponsored, so the amount of money needed is even more terrifying.

Is there a large company under this organization?

You must know that almost all of China's top [-] are state-owned enterprises, and the most profitable private enterprises may not be able to produce billions in cash a year.

Duan Wei didn't pay attention to this before, and now the more he thinks about it, the more chilling he feels. Could it be that this organization has not only been deep in politics for more than ten years, but also has far-reaching influence among young cadres in the country, and its economic achievements have also been established a long time ago? An aircraft carrier-like behemoth.

Thinking of this, Duan Wei only felt that his heart was getting heavier. It seemed that he had underestimated this organization before.

Sitting down on the desk, he pinched the center of his brows hard. He definitely couldn't do it alone, and he still had to seek help.

Mr. Zhao was also taken aback when he heard Duan Wei's report.

He had also ignored this question before. If the organization was really organized by the Sun family as he guessed, then the Sun family had hidden it too deeply.

One must know that his son, Zhao Mingkang, is the richest man in the country, and his wife, Nie Hongbing, also owns many large companies, but asking the two of them to support such a huge plan is definitely powerless.

The old man stood up and turned around the room a few times. This matter became more and more difficult.

I originally thought that to deal with this organization, as long as the key members were dealt with, the organization would be uprooted.But now that they know that the other side has this economic carrier, if they can't get rid of it all at once, their economic base is still there. As long as the Sun family is given time, they will rise up and make trouble again in a few years.

It seems that we have to check the financial accounts of the Sun family.

This is more difficult and time-consuming than checking that organization. After all, the members of those organizations are all officials, and they are all on the surface. Now that they have found the rules, as long as they take it step by step, they will basically not miss it.As for business management, most members of the big family will not come forward in person, but leave it to people they trust to take care of it.

That's why some people in the country say that those so-called local tyrants on the wealth list are nothing compared to those invisible rich people. Now it seems that this statement really makes sense.

Xia Jiuxing has been enjoying himself recently.

Since his boss introduced his niece Zhang Yueran to him, Xia Jiusheng's relationship with her quickly warmed up.When the woman's family came to "see her", although there were some mistakes, fortunately, the other party didn't care.During the Spring Festival, as lovers, they visited each other for a walk, and got the approval of both parents, which can be regarded as the official confirmation of the relationship.

Zhang Yueran's parents had no requirements for him, they only hoped that they would buy a wedding house in Yucheng City, so that their work and life would be convenient in the future, and they could often visit their daughter and son-in-law. After all, they only had one child, and they couldn't bear to be far away.

Xia Jiuxing and his parents have no objection to this point.Now, with a little skill, who wouldn't buy a wedding house in the city and get married?

After the Chinese New Year this year, my family has planted more than 20 acres of vegetable land. The first batch of vegetables can be sold for more than [-] yuan when they mature. It's a big house with more than [-] square meters.

After the house is bought, he and Zhang Yueran have known each other for almost a year, so they can consider getting married.

In terms of work, he also feels that it is getting smoother and smoother. Working in this kind of state-owned enterprise, as long as there is no boss to find faults or colleagues to find faults, it will basically be easy.

He doesn't have much ambition, as long as he can have a stable job, support his wife and children in the future, and have a house of his own that can shelter the family from wind and rain, he will be satisfied.

When I got home this weekend, I heard from my parents that my cousin was going to get married abroad.

Because they are gay, so go abroad to get a certificate?

Xia Jiuxing knew about the relationship between his cousin and Zhao Zezhong. He could not get a marriage certificate in China. If he wanted to get married, he could only go abroad. Many countries in Europe allow same-sex marriage.

Besides, when two men get married and hold a wedding in their hometown, it is too shocking. Going abroad is the best choice.

"Did Yang Yang say it himself or his second uncle and aunt?" Xia Jiuxing asked in surprise. "Second uncle and second aunt agree to their relationship?"

"Who said what's the difference? What if your second uncle and aunt disagree? Everyone knows Yangyang's personality?" Aunt Xia sighed. "If they object, don't they want to force their son to death?"

She really cared about her nephew and hoped that he could find a woman to marry and have children so that he could live a good life.

But Yang Yang has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and he has his own opinions in doing things. If they disagree, he will definitely wrong him and stop interacting with Xiao Zhao.But he will definitely not have a happy day in the days to come.

"That's right." After some incidents happened recently, Xia Jiuxing became much calmer, and he was able to think about people and things with his mind.

"When you get married abroad, you always take place in church. They invited our family to watch the ceremony." Aunt Xia added.

"Which country is it?" Xia Jiuxing was a little excited.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is not bad to go abroad. He has grown up so much, has he never been abroad?

Besides, the countries where same-sex marriage is legal are basically developed countries. If you have the opportunity to ask Zhang Yueran to go with you, it can be regarded as an early honeymoon trip.

"It seems to be called Holland." Aunt Xia said uncertainly.

"The Netherlands is great. There are big windmills and tulips. That country is so beautiful." Xia Jiuxing was very excited when he heard that he was going to the Netherlands. "But a trip to Northern Europe will cost a lot of money, so I think it's better to forget it—"

"Money is not a problem." Aunt Xia gave her son a white look and said. "The Zhao family is the richest man in the country. We will charter a plane this time, so you don't have to worry about the airfare."

"That's great, I'll call Xiaoran, let's go together!" Xia Jiuxing said excitedly, and then he was about to call his girlfriend to report the great news.

this kid?Aunt Xia wanted to say that her son was messing around, but after thinking about it, she didn't make a sound. Isn't that what she wants to see the most, because her son and his daughter-in-law have a good relationship?
