Chapter 295 Is there any hope if we draw the line now?
Jing Shu shook her head vigorously, her impression gradually deepening. "That's right, it's Qian Duoduo. I didn't expect that Qian Duoduo, the richest man in Wucheng, was starved to death in his previous life. How ironic."
Why did they starve to death? The cause probably started from this stone garden. Qian Duoduo brought all the people from the original oil base here and devoted himself to developing his one-stop base. The development was indeed very good, forming a complete industrial chain, which allowed the people in the base to have enough food to eat and work every day. This was the happiest thing in the apocalypse.
But its biggest drawback, Jingshu thought, might be that it touched the government's bottom line.
Those who are more successful than their boss and show off their wealth too much will not have a good ending, such as Qian Duoduo.
In the end, he developed the base very well and allowed the people in the base to successfully live in the upper level of the Wucheng Pyramid. When it comes to the Happy Stone Garden, everyone knows about it and everyone wants to go there. They also describe it as "the last paradise in the apocalypse." Some people even suggested learning Qian Duoduo's method of managing the apocalypse, or letting Qian Duoduo be the leader of the provincial capital.
Qian Duoduo's reputation also reached an unprecedented height, and he was affectionately called Mr. Shiyuan. As a result, at that time people only knew Mr. Shiyuan, but not Qian Duoduo.
But this is true, big brother! All of China's food reserves have been eaten up, and there are starving people everywhere. Countless people die of starvation and freezing every day. In just six months, the earth's population has decreased by 20%. You can imagine what kind of hellish misery that is.
In this case, the people in your Happy Stone Garden can still have a full meal every day. Wouldn't this make everyone jealous?
The government finally took action. I don’t know whether they deliberately killed the fat pig that had been raised for several years, or whether they deliberately let Qian Duoduo grow to this day like cutting leeks, and then cut him off.
Even though Qian Duoduo has the support of the imperial capital, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.
Jingshu was also stupid at that time. She just heard that Mr. Shiyuan cared about the world and had compassion for the people, so he donated all the food to the people of Wucheng. The thin water and some food helped them survive for a few more days, and at least saved tens of thousands of people who were about to starve to death. Everyone was grateful to Mr. Shiyuan.
This once again propelled Mr. Shi Yuan's reputation to a new high, but soon after, word arrived that Mr. Shi Yuan felt guilty towards the people of Wucheng, saying he would not be able to eat until their food problem was resolved. A few days later, news spread that Mr. Shi Yuan, so worried about Wucheng's food shortage, had become ill from prolonged hunger and could not be saved.
At that time, the government erected a monument for Mr. Shi Yuan and widely publicized his good deeds, treating him as a role model for our generation. Mr. Shi Yuan's deeds were also included in Chinese textbooks and passed down.
Jingshu thought at the time that no matter how evil and inhumane the world was, there would still be good people, just like Mr. Shiyuan, who donated all the food in his home. It would be great if there were more good people and good deeds in the world, and it would be filled with warmth everywhere. Jingshu admitted that during that time, she had the urge to help others every day, but unfortunately... she was just a burden.
A long time later, I happened to become friends with someone who used to be a middle or upper-level manager in Shiyuan. I heard some rumors and learned that all this was the work of the government.
"At first, it seemed like the new government leader came to negotiate, hoping to borrow all the boss's food and return it after the disaster. The boss didn't agree, because that would mean disbanding the Stone Garden, which was his greatest effort. Then, alas, things changed."
"If you had so much food and were asked to take it all out, would you be happy?"
Jingshu shook her head vigorously. She was not a saint.
“So, the boss is right. He just hopes that he can continue to enjoy himself in the apocalypse, and that the people of Shiyuan will eat and drink well and continue to serve him.
We in Shiyuan also hope to have delicious meals every day;
But the government is not wrong either. The government wants everyone in Wucheng to survive. No one is wrong either. It’s this damned Heaven that’s wrong. It can’t grow food!
By the way, speaking of the leader of Wucheng, Jingshu was deeply impressed. He was a young man who was decisive and ruthless. He sat in such a high position at the age of 31. Later generations nicknamed him "Tyrant."
It can be said that he saved half of the people and killed half of them with his own hands... There are too many controversies about him, such as Qian Duoduo.
Afterwards, others said that there were many other ways to deal with the matter, such as house arrest, only collecting food, etc.
Yet, the tyrant chose to resort to such extreme measures, secretly boosting Mr. Shi Yuan's popularity to a new high. He portrayed Qian Duoduo as a legendary figure, urging everyone to emulate his selfless dedication to Wucheng, simply because he said, "Now everyone needs a belief."
So, Mr. Ishiyuan became this belief.
Jingshu shuddered when she thought of this. Fortunately, the situation in Wucheng has not changed yet, and that person will not take office for another two or three years.
"No, no, the place I'm in is the famous Happy Stone Garden, the place where countless people wanted to see her beauty in the previous life!" Jingshu covered her face, wondering if there was any hope for her if she had drawn a clear line between herself and Qian Duoduo now.
This person will be a fat pig in three years. This stone garden will also be expropriated in the future! No matter how rich you are, no matter how much you eat, you still have to be alive to spend it and eat it!
Jingshu suddenly felt that the gifts she received today were a bit too hasty. She couldn't beat the powerful. The government in the apocalypse controlled all the food, resources, and police force. Only if she wanted to be a villain would she go against the government.
Jingshu should keep a low profile in the future. You can show off anything, such as weapons, RVs, etc., but after the fourth year, you must not show off food! You have to hide your food and eat it, and you have to shout "I'm hungry" every day... Otherwise, Qian Duoduo is a naked example.
"Butler, you haven't told me yet, what is our first floor for?" Su Mali clapped her hands and asked excitedly. This place really satisfied her preferences.
"This floor is multifunctional. Only half of it is complete, with facilities like the staff cafeteria, guest restaurant, playground, office area, exhibition hall, etc. The other half is still under planning. Come on, look, Mr. Qian is here. The event has begun. Mr. Qian called everyone here today for a purpose."
"Are you looking to raise funds? Mr. Qian's money isn't enough, right? Then I'll have to invest more." Su Mali said with a giggle.
Jingshu felt as if her feet were weighed down by a thousand pounds and she couldn't take a step. Her head was also in a mess. It seemed that she and Qian Duoduo were somehow connected. What should she do after three years?
Hearing Su Mali's fundraising plan, Jing Shu heaved a long sigh. This guy was just looking for trouble. What happened to Su Mali in her previous life? Was she implicated?
