Because they arrived early, when Director Tai and his team arrived at Ke Jin's Kachi courtyard, there were not many people inside.
"Director Tai, you are here, welcome!"
Ke Jin had been waiting for a long time and immediately came over warmly.
Tai Zhaoji had already heard his secretary Xiaobai's description of the Kejinkachi courtyard. Although he was mentally prepared, he almost choked up when he saw it in person.
Oh my god! How can this yard be so dilapidated! !
The other people in the Kachi Bureau were not mentally prepared, and were a little dazed when they learned that this was the destination of their trip.
What? It turns out that the dirt road they walked on for nearly 20 minutes was just a prelude? Was it a psychological preparation to help them get used to this shabby yard? ?
The families of employees who were lobbied to show their support were also a little confused.
Uh… Did my husband/uncle/niece/nephew/next uncle say that they were brought to the SSR first draw pool? Or did they mishear and actually come to give warmth and condolences to the poor? ?
The Card Pool Bureau had someone order a celebration flower basket, which had been delivered by the flower shop in advance and placed outside the courtyard gate. However, the brand new, festive, and elegant flower basket was placed outside the dilapidated, deserted, and dirty courtyard gate, and the banners on the flower baskets had all kinds of exaggerated praises for the card pool, such as "The No. 1 Card Pool in Qixing City!" "The famous Golden Pool!" It looked like a sarcastic insult...
Ke Jin's personal file is backed up in the Card Pool Bureau. Tai Zhaoji knows that he is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and later encountered many setbacks when entering society. He was suddenly filled with emotion and patted the black-haired young man's shoulder heavily.
"My child, it's really not easy for you."
Ke Jin said modestly: "It's okay."
Ke Jin sincerely felt that Director Tai had a harder time - he was already old, and was sent to the hospital by ambulance three days ago. Today he had to travel a long way to attend the opening ceremony. He was really working so hard!
Everyone entered the yard one after another, and they were all very cautious - in fact, Ke Jin's yard was not small, and it was no problem to accommodate two or three hundred people, but the fence of the yard was too broken (everyone: Is this really a fence??), and everyone tried their best to squeeze to the center of the yard, for fear that standing on the outside would knock the fence down.
Ke Jin greeted everyone to the yard with a smile, and his secretary Xiaobai helped him maintain order. After everyone went in, they saw seven people rushing towards this side from afar.
Secretary Xiaobai's face fell when he saw those people. Ke Jin was unaware of this and still went forward to greet them enthusiastically.
"Welcome, welcome! Please come in!"
Ke Jin has a sunny and handsome appearance, and he has two dimples on his cheeks when he smiles. It can be said that he is very pleasing to the eye standing at the door "welcoming guests". Anyone who sees him will find it pleasing to the eye and feel happy. Unfortunately, the seven people who came later were in no mood to appreciate the "beautiful scenery" in front of them.
***
President Sun is in a very bad mood right now, extremely bad.
He finally understood why Director Tai and his men changed to walking after entering the town. It turned out that they had to walk on a mountain road that was completely impassable to vehicles!
The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, and he could barely stand the yellow dust on the ground. But he actually stepped on something that looked like dog shit on the dirty dirt road. Damn it! He was really strong-willed for not vomiting on the spot!
After stumbling along the way, President Sun cursed in his heart - what kind of a lousy place is this! ! The bastards in the card pool bureau are too stingy! ! They are unwilling to spend more money even for fraud. Can they find a place with better conditions? ! !
Perhaps because the mental shock they suffered on the road was too great, by the time President Sun and his companions saw this even more dilapidated Kachi courtyard, they were all numb.
The result of numbness was that no one wanted to beat around the bush anymore. When Ke Jin came over, President Sun looked very bad and winked at the people around him. The other party immediately stepped forward and neatly showed his ID.
"We are from the Qixing City Resource Exploration Committee."
"Oh, welcome, welcome!" Ke Jin only knew that all the people who came today were from the Kachi Bureau. Although the two groups arrived one after the other, in his eyes they were from the same organization, so while greeting them warmly, he turned to ask Secretary Xiaobai.
"Is it your subordinate department?"
Secretary Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. President Sun and others' faces instantly turned darker.
The Resource Exploration Committee and the Kachi Management Bureau have different functions. One is responsible for overall planning, and the other is responsible for jurisdiction and execution. For the Kashi, the Kachi Management Bureau is their direct leadership department and of course has greater authority; but for the long-term development of the Kachi Bureau, the Resource Exploration Committee is actually superior to them.
Xiaobai held back his laughter and explained to Ke Jin in a low voice. Ke Jin suddenly felt very embarrassed.
"Oh... I'm so sorry, I don't quite understand the situation, sorry, sorry." Ke Jin apologized repeatedly.
Secretary Xiaobai knew that Ke Jin really didn't mean it, but in the eyes of President Sun and the others, Ke Jin did it on purpose: Humph, not only did he collude with the people in the Card Pool Bureau to forge the first card draw, but he also pretended to be stupid and stepped on their committee. It's so abominable, and his crime is even more serious!
"It doesn't matter if you don't know the situation, but we must understand it." President Sun said with a straight face, "We need to verify the authenticity of your first draw card. Please cooperate with us and hand over the first draw card."
Secretary Xiaobai was stunned and was about to say something when Ke Jin quickly took out the golden SSR first draw card from his pocket and handed it over very naturally.
"Oh, check it out."
Secretary Xiaobai and the committee members: “…………”
Secretary Xiaobai was a little dazed as he looked at the first draw card that he had seen several times before: Uh, today is the opening day, right? Normally, shouldn't the first draw card be framed and hung in the most eye-catching place to receive the praise and admiration of the guests? How come he just casually took it out of his pocket? It was like he was taking out some change!
The committee members were also staring at this SSR first draw card that they had never seen before, and were a little stunned: So this is the SSR first draw card, it is made quite realistically, if they didn’t have professional instruments, just looking at the appearance, they would probably doubt that it is real… It’s a pity that the other party took it out so casually, which has exposed its nature as a fake card! If it was a real card, it should have been hung up in a platinum frame to receive the enthusiastic admiration of the public!
"Uh...don't you want to check?"
Ke Jin's hands were sore from stretching so much, but no one paid any attention to him.
This awakened everyone in the committee. One of them quickly took the first-draw card, and another took out a strange instrument from his bag that looked like a book. They put the first-draw card into this strange "book" and then looked at President Sun.
"The results will be out in half an hour." President Sun nodded at Ke Jin and waved to his subordinates, "Let's go in and wait."
The seven men walked into the yard in a heroic manner. Ke Jinzhao looked at the road in the distance, but saw no one else coming, so he returned to the yard.
"Xiao Ke, didn't you frame that card and hang it outside the card pool as a souvenir?" Secretary Xiaobai followed and asked in a low voice.
If it were her, she would immediately order a super shiny diamond frame and hang it on the card pool kiosk so that everyone can see: Look! What an awesome first draw card pool!
Ke Jin smiled bitterly and whispered in Secretary Xiaobai's ear.
"I don't have any money."
He might as well go to town and buy a few more baskets of cabbage with this money! After all, he is not in a state where he can feed the whole family, and there is also a child, Ounuo!
Secretary Xiaobai was completely convinced.
…They are really poor families! The journalists’ idea of reporting on inspirational life is indeed correct!
***
As soon as President Sun stepped into the yard, he had the urge to turn around and leave.
Oh my god, how come this yard is even more dilapidated than the mountain road outside! Isn't this really disgusting!
But it was absolutely impossible to back down at this time, because when they came in, they had already attracted the attention of most people in the yard.
Although they had met in the town before, most people in the Card Pool Administration did not expect that President Sun and his team would actually come to the opening ceremony.
After all, the sudden appearance of an SSR first-draw card pool in Qixing City was tantamount to a slap in the face to the Resource Survey Committee, which had been criticizing the local card pool resources. Anyone with a normal brain would not come all the way to receive a second slap in the face.
As a result, these people really showed up. Could it be that... they are actually masochists?
Suddenly, everyone looked at President Sun with strange eyes.
Secretary Xiaobai already knew the real purpose of this group of people's visit. She quietly found Director Tai Zhaoji and reported the situation. After listening to Director Tai, his expression became extremely strange.
"Is that what they came for?"
Secretary Xiaobai nodded helplessly: "Director, do you think we should tell them that this first card draw..."
Director Tai was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"Don't worry about it." Director Tai looked serious and upright. "If they want to investigate, then let them continue to investigate. Since they are here, it's a good opportunity to bring some business to Xiao Ke."
Secretary Xiaobai: “…”
Why didn't she realize before that her boss was quite good at business!
***
Although the arrival of President Sun and his group attracted many people's attention, no one wanted to cause trouble at the opening of the new card pool. Even if they were indignant in their hearts, most of the employees of the card pool department just glared at them a few more times and then looked away.
Gu Qianqian also arrived early. She had experience and had asked Ke Jin to rent some small tables and chairs in advance, which were placed in the yard for everyone to sit and rest. Gu Qianqian also called all the other card masters in the town. These card masters had all dealt with the people from the Card Pool Bureau. Everyone sat together and chatted and reminisced. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
As they were chatting and laughing, the auspicious time for the opening had arrived. Director Tai stood on the small platform temporarily built in front of the card pool pavilion, gave a simple opening speech, then took the large scissors handed to him, preparing to cut the red ribbon hung outside the card pool pavilion.
Everyone was ready to applaud and celebrate when suddenly someone shouted.
"etc!"
Facing everyone's various looks, Chairman Sun and his group of seven walked through the crowd without looking away, all the way to Director Tai Zhaoji.
"President Sun, are you going to give a speech too?" Director Tai seemed not to notice the unfriendly expression of the person in front of him, and his attitude remained calm.
President Sun sneered: "Director Tai, I really have to admire you. At this time, you can still act as if nothing happened. It turns out that the old ones are still the best."
"Hmm? What acting?"
“Humph, at this point, are you still playing dumb?” President Sun turned to the confused crowd and said bitterly, “I know that the card pool resources in Seven Stars City are declining, but in order to turn things around, you actually used such despicable means, colluded with each other, took risks, and even tried to cover up the truth. Have you all lost your minds?”
No one said anything, but everyone was thinking: What is this guy talking about? Has he lost his mind?
Chairman Sun waved his hand with great pride, and one of his subordinates took out the instrument and opened the cover in front of everyone. In the center of the "book" was the first card that Ke Jin handed over. There were five small lights on the top of the instrument, but only four of them were on.
“You all should know that only when all five lights are on does it mean that the attributes of the first drawn card match the card pool, but now only four are on…” President Sun said as he picked up the SSR card and raised his hand majestically.
"This means that this first drawn card is fake!"
The scene was silent.
Ke Jin was also a little confused, staring blankly at President Sun who was still expressing his thoughts on the stage.
"Your card pool bureau can clearly identify the authenticity of the first-draw cards, but you turned a blind eye to it and even tried to use this false excuse to improve the performance of the card pool bureau. Check your conscience, are you worthy of the citizens who trust you?"
President Sun spoke passionately. Everyone looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter. Some people laughed so hard that they couldn't breathe, and some even laughed until tears came out.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”
Looking at the laughing crowd, President Sun said with a heavy heart: They are really crazy... It's sad, really sad, for people who are blinded by interests!
"Hey, Mr. Sun, are you stupid?" someone shouted from below, laughing.
"The thing in your hand is okay for identifying an SSR first draw, but an SSR first draw is impossible to identify!"
"Yes, Qixing City currently does not have the ability to identify SSR first draws. We transmit the card data remotely to the Chikongzhou Card Pool General Administration Headquarters for them to identify. The identification of SSR first draw cards is posted on the official website of the Chikongzhou Card Pool General Administration. You can find out by just checking it out."
“You’re a member of the Resource Exploration Committee, but you don’t even know this common sense. Aren’t you ashamed? Aren’t you ashamed?! Hahahaha…”
The scene was filled with laughter. President Sun was stunned and immediately turned to look at his subordinates. At this time, the subordinates had already found the relevant information online and nodded to President Sun with an unpleasant look on their faces.
"Indeed... Yes, that's right."
President Sun's expression went blank for a moment.
What? After all this fuss, it turns out he was working for nothing? ?
But... can he be blamed for this?! Since he took office, there has been no SSR first draw card pool in Qixing City. He is not from the card pool bureau, so who the hell knew there was such a special process!
