The banquet finally ended.
President Sun is almost dying.
Originally, it was just a few kids who wanted to go see the "new card pool", but in the end, it became something that Mr. Wu said he would go there with his wife and daughter in a few days. After hearing President Sun repeatedly emphasize that the location of the card pool was very remote and difficult to find, Mr. Wu asked President Sun if he could be a guide and go with them.
Chairman Sun's friend looked at his old friend with surprise and admiration: Hey, this kid is good. He got the opportunity to spend time with Mr. Wu's family in private with just a few words. He is indeed a smart guy who knows how to adapt to the situation and has a bright future!
"Of course, of course. Please allow me to do my best to be a good host and take you, Mr. Wu, to have a good look at our key projects."
Chairman Sun’s smile was perfect, absolutely perfect, extremely perfect, but the groundhog’s scream kept repeating in my mind—Aa ...
***
After seeing off Mr. Wu and others with a smile, President Sun suddenly began to breathe rapidly, his face turned pale, and he turned around and frantically called his subordinates.
"Hello, leader, what instructions do you have?" The subordinate's slightly sleepy voice soon came from the other side - it was already late at night, and many people were preparing to go to bed.
"What's the name of the card user in the new card pool in Dadas Town?" President Sun almost yelled, "I want his phone number! Right now!!!"
There was silence for a moment, as if the person was frightened. After a while, the voice of the subordinates was heard.
"President Sun... are you drunk?"
"I am sober now!! So awake that I am dying!!" President Sun wanted to rush into the phone and shake the other party's collar wildly, "Didn't you understand what I just said?! The card user information of the SSR first draw card pool!! Phone number!! I want to contact him now!!!"
In fact, this information can be obtained in minutes by asking the people in the Card Pool Bureau, but Sun Xuan knows that the Card Pool Bureau does not like him, and asking will only bring humiliation to himself, so he can only take a roundabout route and let his subordinates check from other channels.
“Okay, okay…!” Although they didn’t know what happened, it seemed very serious, so the subordinates didn’t dare to neglect it, “I’ll do it now!”
Sun Xuan hung up the phone and paced back and forth with a sad face.
He recalled the scene when he first saw the broken yard, and couldn't imagine what kind of expression Wu Lao would show when he saw that scene. Qixing City hadn't had an SSR first draw card pool for many years, which was known to everyone in Chikongzhou. Now an SSR was finally released. Although the Resource Committee was not a direct leader, the attitude of ignoring this new card pool with great potential was definitely suspected of dereliction of duty. How could a leader who didn't care about the card pool resources in his jurisdiction be transferred to the state government and entrusted with important tasks?
At this moment, Sun Xuan really regretted it. Deeply regretted it.
He even remembered what Tai Zhaoji shouted behind him when he left - "President Sun, is it so difficult to admit that there is still hope for the card pool resources in Qixing City? The emergence of the SSR first draw card pool is actually a good thing for you, isn't it?"
Yes, it is obviously a win-win situation, so why do I still hold on to my prejudice and refuse to believe the miracle happening before my eyes?
Is it because of countless disappointments that you have completely lost confidence in the card pool resources in Qixing City, so you are unwilling and dare not to let yourself hold on to hope again?
The communicator suddenly vibrated. The information that President Sun had been waiting for was finally sent to him by his subordinates. He quickly glanced at it and quickly dialed the number in the information.
"The number you dialed is out of service area. Please try again later. Beep, beep, beep..."
President Sun: “…”
Why can't I get through? Am I blocked?
…
Is it that serious? I just questioned your first card draw, but you blocked me right away! You look so harmless, but how can you be so petty!
President Sun felt his blood pressure soaring rapidly. After repeated attempts to call without success, he had no choice but to urgently call his subordinate and ask him to contact Ke Jin on his behalf.
"It's so late..." The subordinate just started to speak when he was yelled back by President Sun.
"I just contacted you when you were asked to! So much nonsense!!"
The subordinate immediately ran to make a phone call.
A few minutes later.
"Boss, it's true that I can't get in touch with you, but I guess it's not that I blocked you, I just turned off my phone."
President Sun was angry: Who turns off their phone these days? Is that guy a primitive man? Sun Sun was so upset that he couldn't get in touch with the other party for a minute. He could forget about sleeping tonight.
The subordinate thought it was quite normal: the working and resting schedule of people in remote towns is different from that of people in cities. I heard that they all go to bed early, so it is normal not to answer the phone at this time. Seeing that President Sun looked like the sky was falling while he was talking, the subordinate couldn't help but ask curiously.
"President, what's going on?"
Although this matter was a bit embarrassing, there was really nothing to hide from his subordinates. Chairman Sun was also feeling very anxious, so he told them the whole story in bits and pieces. After listening to it, the subordinates let out a long "Oh" and said in a relaxed tone.
"If that's the case, then I don't think you need to worry too much, President."
"Um?"
"A while ago, the Card Pool Bureau approved a sum of money for Coca Envoy. I heard that it was used to repair the card pool. The situation there must be much better than when we first went there. At least... it shouldn't be too shabby."
"Really?!" President Sun was excited. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? How much money did they approve?"
The subordinate was speechless: I clearly reported this matter to you before, and you even commented on it at that time, but you forgot about it right away... How little do you care about that card pool!
"Eighty thousand star coins." The subordinate reported again honestly, "In fact, according to the regulations, only 70,000 can be approved. It seems that the people in the card pool bureau also raised some money privately, and only then was the 80,000 barely raised."
President Sun almost fainted.
Only 80,000 star coins!! What can I do with it! Not even enough to renovate the land of that shabby yard!!
"Those bastards in the card pool bureau, don't they value that card pool very much?! They only approved that little money!! What a bunch of stingy people!! ￥％%￥#!! ..."
subordinate:"……"
Boss, you clearly didn’t say that a while ago... Didn’t you gloat over the fact that “these poor bastards in the card pool bureau really spent a lot of money to support that money-making pool”!
But even though he complained, President Sun still felt a little comforted in his heart - since it had been renovated, even if only the door was repaired, it was much better than the original version! Then he gave the order.
"Go to Dadas Town tomorrow and see what the card pool is like now." President Sun paused slightly, then suddenly said in a decisive tone.
"Forget it, I don't need you. I'll go." He said, "I'll go there myself tomorrow!"
***
Early the next morning, President Sun Xuan set off in his car.
This time he was obviously more experienced than before. He was no longer dressed in a formal suit, but rather dressed quite casually, the kind that would not make him tired at all while walking on a mountain road. He even wore a large mask to protect himself from sand and dust.
Before leaving, he contacted Ke Jin again, but the call was still unanswered. Although President Sun was depressed, he didn't worry about such small details because he thought he would see Ke Jin in person soon.
Along the way, President Sun was thinking about how to get close to Ke Jin when he saw him in the future, so that Ke Jin could say a few good words for him when Mr. Wu came - after all, his future and destiny now depended on the other party's thoughts!
Of course, President Sun did not forget to pray silently in his heart, hoping that Ke Jin could use the 80,000 star coins to make the yard more presentable, at least so that people can stay in it for fifteen minutes...
An hour later, when Sun Xuan finally arrived at Ke Jin's Kachi Courtyard, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
This is no longer just about making the yard "presentable".
This is no longer the shabby little courtyard.
This is fucking… This is such a huge pit!!! Pit!!! Pit!!!
If it weren't for the two small bungalows standing alone in the northeast corner, Sun Xuan would have suspected that this was the scene of a meteorite hitting the planet.
Didn't they say they were going to renovate the Kachi Courtyard? Now the Kachi is nowhere to be seen!!
When Mr. Wu comes over in three days, will he point at this big pit and say - Ah, Mr. Wu, please look, this is our Seven Star City's SSR first draw card pool, look at how much momentum and spirit this pit has for SSR...
President Sun chose to die.
***
When Bai Fan walked into the "yard", he saw a middle-aged man covering his heart with his hands tremblingly, his eyes staring blankly at the ground of the yard that had just been dug up yesterday - well, it's a bit inappropriate to say "ground" now, in fact, it was more like a big earth pit that had been dug up - he looked as if his life could not bear the weight, as if he was not digging someone else's yard, but his own ancestral grave.
Bai Fan felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he subconsciously looked at him a few more times.
Hearing the footsteps beside him, President Sun instinctively turned his head and saw a handsome man with a unique style suddenly appear. His eyes lit up immediately and he recognized him immediately - ah, isn't this the handsome guy who got the SSR on the day of the opening ceremony! It seems that he is also a relative of the secretary of the card pool bureau?
"Handsome guy, are you here to draw cards?" President Sun said incoherently, "This place is still in business, right? Even if it's ruined like this, it's still alive and well, right?"
Bai Fan's expression is more varied only when he is facing acquaintances. When dealing with strangers, his face always has the same expression -
"No." President Sun looked at the other party's indifferent expression and said in a cold voice, "I'm not here to draw cards. This place is not open for business."
"Closed? Why?!" President Sun was almost suffocating, his mind was in a mess, "Where is the card clerk? Where is the card clerk named Ke Jin?!"
"He..." Bai Fan calmly pointed in the direction of Dadas Town, "He works as a waiter in a small restaurant because he is too poor."
President Sun almost vomited blood.
Are you kidding me! Instead of managing the SSR card pool, he is actually serving dishes? ! How can this young man be so desperate! !
President Sun was anxiously preparing to find out which restaurant Ke Jin was in so that he could go over and persuade him to come back, but he saw the young man in front of him suddenly gave a short smile.
"I lied to you." Bai Fan said seriously, "You really believed it, President Sun?"
President Sun: “…………”
Do you know that my heart almost stopped beating just now? !
