Nanxi finally gave up the idea of finding a breakthrough from Saxun and returned to her husband's office with a heavy heart.
Balu had already returned from the meeting and was waiting there. When his wife left, she asked her secretary to say that she was going to see Yinyin. Panpu and Fuchai followed her, so he didn't go out to look for her.
Seeing the worried man coming back, Baru went to greet him, "Baby, do you know everything?"
Nanxi nodded. "Lulu and Yana were rushed to the hospital. How could I not know? I asked Xiaoyu to bring people to take care of them. I originally wanted to ask Saxun to at least give in and let us meet him. Now I guess there is no hope. Yinyin and Saxun are also having a bad time."
"It's okay, don't worry, I'll take care of these things." The man patted her shoulder soothingly.
"It's not that simple. They're coming for me. As long as my people control the Mekong River basin, these things won't end. Songchai and Chanpong know this too. Don't worry, they have experience and won't suffer any losses. I'm not a pushover either."
The man's dark eyes were filled with dark currents, and a strong sense of hostility spread across his calm face.
Nanxi didn't quite understand. She looked up at her husband's handsome face and said, "Husband, what do you mean by that? I thought it was just an ordinary military-political conflict. Is there something else?"
"The military and the government have a delicate relationship with each other, and there is no absolute conflict of interest. No one dares to touch the two commanders who hold heavy military power. This time, not only did they move, but they did it at the same time, which shows that the interests involved are extremely huge.
A new, improved D-type weapon has just appeared in Southeast Asia, and some people are eager to disrupt the northern defenses. Their intentions are obvious."
Nanxi took a moment to digest the meaning of her husband's words. She felt vaguely that he seemed to be planning something. She bit her lip with her teeth.
"Hubby, what about Lulu and Yana..."
"Go back and comfort them. Even though they may not be able to accept it at first, they will eventually understand that their husbands were men who lived on the edge of a knife and licked blood."
Nanxi thought for a moment and then asked, "But the streets are full of protesters, shouting all sorts of slogans. I can't see how the police can do anything. No matter who you're fighting, you can't just let the streets go on like this, right?"
The man pressed his eyebrows together. "Students and workers, those with serious business and jobs, will stop making trouble after two days and go home. The rest are mostly hooligans with nothing better to do, and some odd jobs who are just after the money. Don't bother with them. If they keep making trouble for another two days and don't listen, we'll shoot them, arrest a group of them, and lock them up for a few days. Scare them off. It's happened many times before, don't worry."
After he finished speaking, Nanxi sat on the sofa and began to think.
"What are you thinking about? Aren't you hungry? Go home. Didn't you promise A-Chuang that you would have dinner with him today?"
Nanxi looked up at her husband and said, "Husband, are these people marching just to make money?"
The man smiled faintly and nodded, "Those students and workers aren't really that bad. They really do have demands, and we'll listen to them and probably give them some insignificant benefits, but they'll leave in a couple of days. The rest are those who can't find jobs and have no work to do. Earning a few thousand kyat a day is better than earning nothing at all."
I have seen the leaders marching in Yangon since I was a teenager. They were there every time, and sometimes they even called their elderly mothers and grandchildren over. Once, out of curiosity, I asked them what was written on the banners, but they just read the slogans and didn't even recognize the words on them.
Once I gave him $100 and asked him to hold up a banner advertising a nightclub. He took the money and left happily, even bowing to me and saying I was a kind person.
It was originally a serious matter, but Nanxi smiled instantly after hearing his ruffian words, and raised her hand to hit him.
"How can you be so bad? You are such a bad and bad person."
The man reached out and pressed her into his chest, biting her ear. "What's that? Aren't you the one who feels most deeply how bad I am?"
He emphasized the word "deep".
"Asshole." Nanxi pinched his lower back, but when she couldn't pinch him anymore, she lifted up his military shirt and tried to pick at his flesh. However, she didn't get out of his arms. She put her chin on the man's shoulder.
"Husband, you should control chaos like a sharp sword cutting through hemp, and show kindness like a spring rain moistening everything. You are a politician now, and you cannot use the military's tough methods to solve problems. The gun should be pointed at the enemy, not at ordinary people.
Besides, it seems that the methods used before are only treating the symptoms and not the root cause, right?"
The man's chest rose and fell with his powerful breathing, and the resonance sound was particularly sexy. "So what method do you think is effective, baby?"
Nanxi thought for a moment, "Engineering, large-scale municipal projects, such as building roads, bridges, and factories, all require a large number of workers from the beginning to the end of construction, maintenance, and operation. This can solve the problem of a large number of idle laborers. Those people have work to do, money to earn, and a stable life. Who would think of committing crimes and protesting? They would be too grateful to the authorities.
Wasn't that how Angsu's father built his reputation? Fame, wealth, power—it all came together.
Moreover, municipal engineering projects benefit the people, and their benefits will be felt in the present and for generations to come."
After listening to his wife's impassioned speech, Balu smiled and pinched her cheek. "Are all Chinese women so capable? You're always talking about politics, family, and the country. You're like this, and Song Cai says his wife is like this too. I finally understand why China has achieved such great success in just a few decades."
"Why?" Nanxi raised her eyebrows and asked with interest.
"Because of China's education, your decision-makers' understanding of education is very advanced. This is something we should learn from."
