Chapter 191: Chapter 190 The Grain Crisis Erupted (10) Chapter 191: Chapter 190 The Grain Crisis Erupted (10) Inexplicably, he felt a vague discomfort in his heart when he thought about how this girl had harbored affection for soone for so many years.
After the top brass in the military had finished speaking, he turned his head and saw his group captain, Xiaotang, fiddling with his phone.
“Xiaotang, do you have any thoughts to share?”
Tang Zelin had been halfway through typing a ssage when he heard his leader speak. He looked up, his dark eyes shining, “I agree with the idea of engaging the enthusiasm and participation of the people to clean up the Linjiang Region.”
After finishing, and seeing everyone looking his way, he added, “After all, many hands make light work.”
“Well said, ‘many hands make light work’!”
Many people nodded in agreent. Indeed, since City C was a city for all, it wasn’t enough to rely solely on governnt efforts. If they could get the general populace involved, the situation might look very different from its current state.
However, soone raised a new concern, “The city is still not very stable right now. Isn’t this kind of large-scale action likely to cause chaos?”
After sending the ssage “I’ll be back tonight, I have sothing for Xiao’ai,” Tang Zelin looked up and said.
“We can also select supervisory and managent personnel from the citizens. As for zoning, a leader had just ntioned it earlier, I think engaging military and police forces to control the broader direction, and civic self-administration to improve the details, is a highly feasible approach.”
The eting then fell into another round of discussion, this ti focusing on the feasibility of mobilizing ordinary citizens, and the specifics of how to get started.
After the eting, the commander, who was the chief in charge, caught Tang Zelin, who was trying to sneak off, and warned, “You rarely make it to these etings, don’t think of slipping away; wait here, I’ll co over in a bit.”
“Commander, I still have tons of things to take care of at the group headquarters,” Tang Zelin protested.
“Co off it, with Old Qu holding down the fort, what do you have to worry about? Wait here; I’ll be right back after a quick visit elsewhere.”
Tang Zelin had been dragged to the eting that day and had planned to leave right after, but now that the leader had grabbed him, he had no choice but to stand beside a window in the lobby and wait, with the commander’s bodyguard accompanying him.
As Tang Zelin waited, bored, he lit up a cigarette, “Do you know what the commander wants, Xiaoliu?”
The bodyguard Xiaoliu smiled and shook his head, “Group Captain, you know what the commander’s like. Would he keep you around for nothing?”
With a puff of smoke, Tang Zelin, hand in pocket, sighed, “You’ve got to put in a good word for in front of the higher-ups; I’m really swamped.”
Xiaoliu couldn’t hide his smile as he replied, “Sure, the commander also ntioned that it’s hard to catch Group Captain Tang because you’re always so busy.”
Well, Tang Zelin figured it out.
There was no escaping today.
He hadn’t waited long when the commander ca rushing back. Upon seeing Tang Zelin, he called out in a robust voice, “Let’s go!”
Tang Zelin exchanged a glance with the bodyguard Xiaoliu. He extinguished his cigarette and followed.
…
The sun set in the west, leaving a glow in its wake.
Stars began to wake up, twinkling in the night sky.
Su Shu kicked a small stone outside the tent, giving up on waiting and decided to head back to her room.
Soone had asked her to wait for his return. Where was he? What could have happened?
She had been out for a stroll twice in the afternoon and had gone almost without seeing a soul, not even a ssage.
It wasn’t until she was half-asleep that she thought she heard her phone.
Groggily, she fished it out from under her pillow, squinting at the dim light.
Deep into the night, she received a ssage from Tang Zelin.
“I’m back, are you asleep?”
Su Shu rubbed her eyes.
“Awake.”
“Co out and keep company for a chat?”
Huh? Su Shu instantly perked up. What’s up with Tang Zelin?
