Chapter 394: You're responsible for your own mistakes
After finishing the business, Mr. Zhou didn't want to stay for a moment, so he said goodbye. He was going back to his daughter's house for lunch!
"Why don't you have lunch with me before leaving?" The big boss tried to persuade him with a smile.
This old guy likes the food cooked by the chef here the most, and he used to eat here often.
Why did the sun rise so high today? With such a great opportunity, why did he actually take the initiative to leave?
Mr. Zhou boasted, as if he was content with having a daughter. "No need. When I left this morning, my daughter told me to go back early so she could make me something delicious! Besides, the food here is delicious, but it's not as good as the food at my daughter's house!"
The big boss felt a pang of jealousy. What’s going on? Is he becoming a girl-showing maniac again?
"Are you planning to stay at your daughter's house and not return to the capital?"
Mr. Zhou said that he and his wife had already discussed the result: "Come back during the Chinese New Year, and go after the Chinese New Year!"
It took so long for them to find their daughter after she was missing that the couple wanted to spend more time with her.
Besides, my daughter’s home is so nice. Life is leisurely and the food and drinks are healthy and pollution-free.
Every two days he would take a medicinal bath and scrub his body in the bathhouse he built. His life was so comfortable.
"Come on, stop talking and go! Otherwise you will miss lunch!" The big boss waved his hand and started to drive people away.
I really don’t want to talk to this little old man anymore. He looks so arrogant and it’s so annoying!
"Okay! You work hard! I'm leaving!" Mr. Zhou didn't even think about going back to his home in the capital. He happily went straight back to Lijia Village.
During this New Year's Day holiday, Li Guoer took the Zhou family siblings to play many amusement rides in Daqingshan.
She could clearly feel that the number of tourists was increasing exponentially every day.
When leaving at the end of the vacation, He Jiashu was particularly reluctant to leave Xiaokong and even cried for it.
After getting Zhou Zhiyi's promise to bring him here when he has time, he left reluctantly.
A few days later, a piece of news that shocked the world was revealed from the official media of Xiaobenzi.
"Recently, due to unknown reasons, all discharged nuclear wastewater has been flowing back into the waters within ten kilometers of the island nation, unable to be circulated out. Satellites can show that the entire island nation is surrounded by a dark green nuclear wastewater! Upon investigation, the previously contaminated waters have returned to normal!"
As soon as this news came out, the people in the small notebook were in an uproar. This was a matter of life and safety for all the people.
There were people cursing the government, holding protests, and praying to gods and Buddhas everywhere, and the country was instantly in chaos.
At the same time, various Chinese media also forwarded this news, and said with certainty that Xiaobenzi's discharge of nuclear waste water offended the gods and was punished by heaven. Otherwise, how could such a supernatural and unhuman thing happen?
The Chinese people were also talking about it for a while, but most of them thought that the Happy Notebook had suffered retribution.
Of course, there are still a small number of sanctimonious people who speak out for the little notebook, and they are badly scolded by the majority of the people.
Prime Minister's Office
"Baga, haven't you found out the cause of this incident yet?" Prime Minister Kawada yelled angrily at his subordinates, his face distorted with anger.
"Prime Minister, this matter has been investigated many times. The only anomaly that has occurred is a flash of white light in the early morning of the 2nd of this month. There has been no other anomalies."
After discovering the changes in the sea area, this group of men were ordered by their leader to investigate the cause day and night.
After searching for so many days, I only got this one useful piece of information. There is nothing unusual else.
"Baga, baga, what's the use of you? You can't even do a single thing?"
Kawada kept cursing, veins bulging on his forehead, and smashed the documents, tea sets, and ornaments on his desk to pieces, which was enough to show how angry he was.
Internal strife has broken out in Xiaobenzi now. He is like an angry lion, and he is in a rage every minute and every second. Whoever provokes him will be in trouble. Who dares to provoke him?
No one wanted to come to report today, and he was pushed out unlucky enough.
The subordinate hung his head, looking like he was ready to be beaten and scolded, but he kept cursing in his heart, "You are a bastard, your whole family is a bastard, if you have the ability, why don't you investigate it yourself?" He was only helpless and furious. In his opinion, it was probably the Prime Minister's immorality that was punished by heaven.
"What solution has the cabinet come up with? If this continues, our island country will become a place where humans cannot survive!" Kawada asked coldly.
At that time, he and the cabinet were the ones who strongly advocated for pollutant discharge. Now that such a big change has occurred, a solution must be found to give an explanation to the angry people and appease them first.
The subordinate said word by word with a stone face, "The cabinet's intention is to suspend the discharge of pollutants until a solution is found."
After a moment's silence, he continued, "As for the internal conflicts, if they are difficult to resolve, we can only divert them outwards as before. We can point the spearhead at China and put all the blame on China."
"This is the only thing we can do now. Hold a press conference immediately!" Kawada ordered.
He had no solution and had to accept this method, otherwise he would be unable to hold on to his position as prime minister.
Soon, Kawada held an incredible press conference.
The general meaning is that the island country has been cursed by China, and this situation is all China's fault. China needs to apologize, stop cursing immediately, and send people to resolve the matter so that they can continue to discharge pollutants.
The Chinese people sneered at what they saw. What does this have to do with them?
They committed sins and received retribution, but how could they be blamed for it? How unfair it was to them!
The people are cursing and apologizing. If their curses really work, they will curse every day!
It was also this press conference that triggered anti-notebook sentiment across China and started a wave of boycotts of Japanese goods.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had been well prepared, also responded immediately.
He insisted that the island nation had thrown mud at him, that he had angered the gods, and was being punished by heaven! He wanted an apology? No way!
Kawada's press conference failed to successfully appease the angry people of the island nation, and instead caused even stronger protests from them.
After all, everyone is almost unable to survive now, and their lives are seriously threatened. What's the point of directing the conflict outward?
The real thing is to find a way to solve the problem, what an incompetent government!
Some radical citizens even began to assassinate high-ranking officials to quell their inner anger.
This marked the beginning of several years of civil unrest in the island nation.
This led to the complete collapse of the political and economic systems, and the country's national strength regressed by decades.
Later, the newly appointed Prime Minister has been committed to treating the nuclear waste water in the island nation.
We have to deal with it. Too many people in the country are suffering from strange diseases, which has greatly reduced the average life expectancy of the people.
This is called "Misfortune sent by Heaven can be avoided, but misfortune brought upon oneself cannot be escaped."
Li Guoer and Xiaokong also kept their achievements and fame hidden.
