The polluted area is only relative to the human population.
More accurately, it was simply territory that did not belong to humans, just as the oceans and deserts are to humans today.
The situation has now reversed; humanity now possesses resources that are even less than those of the desert.
Ordinary genetically modified humans no longer have the opportunity to know these things, because the smart chips implanted in their bodies have reshaped the entire story.
The few individuals who are born without parental guidance are often forced to passively accept a rewritten story. Those few who do know all this, knowing that speaking out wouldn't change anything, choose to remain silent.
On this day, ordinary people also experienced great ups and downs, joy and sorrow.
But on this day, two people were the most depressed: Wei Lan and Kang Shuaifu.
Wei Lan initially thought that with over 200,000 bottles of Class 1 water and a health score of 10, selling them would be a piece of cake. However, things took an unexpected turn. She barely sold any water, attracted numerous complaints, and even the Health Department couldn't protect itself. While most permanent residents of safe zones engage in tax evasion, once it's taken seriously, their special status doesn't exempt them from punishment.
Ultimately, Wei Lan was fined 8.88 billion yuan.
With over 20 billion yuan worth of Class I water stockpiled, plus a fine of nearly 10 billion yuan, Wei Lan, whose personal assets were originally far ahead of the top, suddenly fell to the bottom of the list of wealthy individuals.
As for Kang Shuaifu, the charging for recycled water did not bring him much benefit. On the contrary, natural water could not be sold at all because Li Lechen's type of water was put on the market.
Although Kangshuaifu could also launch a similar quality bottle and even lower the price, it knows it can't compete with Li Lechen in terms of quantity.
The lake is only so big, and its water capacity is limited. A few thousand or tens of thousands of bottles a day might not be noticeable, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of bottles would drain the lake in just a few days. Once the lake dries up, what assets will he have left?
For the first time, I felt like I was holding a mountain of gold but dying of poverty.
Moreover, even Kingsoft can be emptied out one day.
Li Lechen was so busy that he could finally catch his breath and was about to wash up and go to bed when Cao Wenming called.
When I checked the time, it was already past nine o'clock at night.
He answered the phone dejectedly, saying, "Director Cao, I'm already in bed."
As a result of Cao Wenming's words, Li Lechen was so frightened that he quickly pulled up his pants, which he was about to take off.
"It's alright, it's alright. Director Hu and I are almost at your dormitory building and will be up soon. If you're not feeling well, just lie in bed."
What's going on?
Which bureau does Director Hu head? Why is he coming to see me?
On the way to the dormitory building, Cao Wenming bowed and followed Hu Shuo to lead the way.
Cao Wenming wasn't being obsequious; it was just that Hu Shuo was too short. If he stood up straight, he would appear much taller than Hu Shuo, which would affect the leader's image, so he naturally had to avoid it.
Fortunately, he was only the deputy director of the health bureau. If he had been the deputy director of the education bureau, Cao Wenming would probably have wanted to crawl on his knees.
"Oh! I suddenly remembered!" Hu Shi suddenly said.
Cao Wenming almost knelt down.
"I came in a hurry and forgot to bring the condolence money."
Oh, so that's all there was to it!
Cao Wenming thought it was something extremely serious, given how suddenly it happened. So he quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright. It's already an honor for Li Lechen that you came in person."
If Li Lechen knew, he would definitely say that he didn't feel honored at all. Of course, if there were any consolation money or something, he might be happy.
However, Hu Shu stopped in his tracks: "According to regulations, Li Lechen's behavior warrants sympathy and commendation, so we allocated 5,000 yuan from the reward fund. We were planning to bring it over tonight, but it's the weekend, the finance department isn't here, and I'm going on a business trip tomorrow..."
"They've already arrived at the school, and now they've forgotten to bring the condolence money? What's going on?" Cao Wenming thought to himself.
However, he naturally wouldn't say that out loud, but immediately stated, "We'll pay for it first! We'll pay for it first!"
As expected of the former director of the Political Education Department, Cao Wenming's response earned Hu Shuo's approving nod.
However, he remained standing there.
Cao Wenming had thought that making a promise was enough, and he could always make up for it in a few days after clarifying things. But now Hu Shuo was standing there, clearly wanting Cao Wenming to resolve the matter immediately.
However, the Health Bureau's finance department is closed today, and so is the Second Middle School's finance department. Therefore, the Second Middle School's finance department cannot disburse the funds.
Five thousand... Cao Wenming considered it and realized it wasn't something that couldn't be solved immediately.
"Please wait five minutes, I'll go and get an advance."
After saying that, he ran away.
Cao Wenming's so-called advance payment was actually an overdraft from his own official credit card.
He hands over his entire salary, and apart from the 30,000 yuan he can overdraft on his official credit card for business trips, he only has a few hundred yuan for personal expenses.
Fortunately, the money overdrafted in the official credit card is interest-free for twenty days. It is expected that Hu Shuo will return from his business trip in twenty days. Cao Wenming is very good at doing this kind of thing that has no loss and can please others.
Soon, five thousand yuan was withdrawn from the ATM, and Hu Shuo didn't even have to wait five minutes.
However, Li Lechen was frustrated.
Because Cao Wenming called to say he was downstairs, Li Lechen felt embarrassed to just open the door and wait there, so he sat attentively in his seat, waiting to open the door as soon as he knocked.
The wait to go upstairs wasn't long, but when Cao Wenming went to get the money and then looked for the red envelope, it added another ten minutes or so, making the wait feel particularly long.
This long process made me want to go to the toilet.
This feeling is similar to the anxiety before an exam, where you always feel like you need to go to the bathroom.
Finally, just as Li Lechen came out of the bathroom, there was a knock on the door.
Unaware of what was going on, Luo Li darted out and opened the door first.
At the entrance stood Cao Wenming, his face beaming with smiles, and Hu Shuo, who, despite his small stature, had the air of a leader.
"This is our classmate Li Lechen," Cao Wenming quickly introduced to Hu Shuo.
"Hmm, he's quite robust."
Hu nodded.
"that......"
Cao Wenming suddenly realized something seemed wrong. He had clearly introduced Li Lechen, who was standing behind him, and his finger was pointing in the right direction, but Hu Shuo was seeing Luo Li and speaking to him. This was because Li Lechen was by no means particularly robust.
Just as he was about to explain further, Hu Yi acted even faster, stepping forward to pat Luo Li, who looked completely bewildered, and continued, "Although it is stipulated that those under the age of eighteen cannot donate bone marrow, your situation is rather special. The hospital applied to the bureau and it has been approved."
"......"
Luo Li was still completely bewildered.
Cao Wenming was even more emotional than the person involved: "On behalf of the school and Gu Xiaoman's family, I would like to thank the Health Bureau for its attention. Without your approval, we really wouldn't know what to do!"
"Um."
Hu nodded earnestly, readily accepting Cao Wenming's flattery.
