Demolition Earth

Chapter 55 Hesitation
Old Chen and Xiao Chen would not have imagined that Zhao Changqi could clearly hear every word they talked privately outside.

While the two were smoking cigarettes and discussing tens of millions of business deals in the empty yard, Zhao Changqi was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a cup of coffee, listening to them in a daze.

Du Yan didn't know when she came over, she came over and took one of his earphones naturally, Zhao Changqi subconsciously wanted to snatch it, Du Yan called: "Isn't it just eavesdropping on others, I don't care if you eavesdrop on me."

Zhao Changqi immediately realized that to Du Yan, he had no secrets.Of course, there was no need to keep Du Yan's secrets about monitoring Lao Chen's matter.

Du Yan listened to the passage with great interest, and suddenly asked him: "Will you report them?"

"what?"

"Report them, for example, when they go to the hospital to trade, catch them on the spot."

Zhao Changqi gave Du Yan a cold look: "I'm not a policeman."

"It seems that you are quite sympathetic," Du Yan said, "It's against the law for them to do so."

"You are breaking the law even if you live..."

Du Yan smiled at Zhao Changqi: "Then do you think I can tolerate it?"

Zhao Changqi ignored her. He has gradually adapted to the new Du Yan personality in the past few days. He is usually outgoing and cheerful, a little carefree, but with acquaintances, he often behaves a little too much or even neurotic, especially for Zhao Changqi, always It was deliberately making some topics to stimulate him.

Zhao Changqi didn't know whether the aliens really created such a personality, or it was just a behavioral strategy to simulate human personality. If it was the latter, Zhao Changqi had to admit that this strategy was very realistic.

If it is with strangers, Du Yan's character is relatively quiet and decent. In this regard, she is a bit like the Du Yan Zhao Changqi once knew.

Maybe, it's just that I only knew the surface when I knew Du Yan in the past?Maybe the current Du Yan is the real one?Zhao Changqi would ask himself this question many times, but it is difficult to have an answer to this question.

"Candidates for the interview, do you want to have a look?" Du Yan pushed the notebook over to Zhao Changqi.

"Show me what to do." He said so in his mouth, but he already took it in his hand.

"You are also in my team. Of course, I have to refer to your opinion. You see, there are so many people, most of whom are more talented and handsome than you, and they still want to work with us. When the time comes, you will be jealous every day. Oh no."

"If you're afraid that I'll be jealous, then you can recruit girls."

"Then I will be jealous." Du Yan said righteously.

Zhao Changqi had nothing to say.

But what Du Yan said is indeed correct, the men in these resumes, if they are pulled out casually, seem to be much stronger than Zhao Changqi.Graduated from a prestigious school, handsome and talented, cheerful and humorous, motivated... Why did Zhao Changqi feel that his previous life was wasted when he saw these resumes.

After browsing dozens of resumes, Zhao Changqi found that he couldn't find a proper reason to eliminate any of them, which made him feel like a failure.

He simply stopped watching, and just habitually used headphones to continue monitoring. The deal between Lao Chen and Xiao Chen caused Zhao Changqi to have a very complicated state of mind - he saw something happening, but he didn't know Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, he can stop it, but he doesn't know whether he should stop it, so he can only watch, watching this thing continue like this.

If he could he would love to have a fast forward button to skip straight to the end of this event, if it was a good thing then he would be relieved that he didn't stop it, if it was a bad thing then he would regret that he didn't do anything .

Even if it's regret, it's better than watching everything happen in a state of uncertainty.

However, there is no fast forward in this world, and time is equal to everyone.He can only survive in this vacillation.

From a legal point of view, of course Lao Chen and Xiao Chen should be arrested. They bought the life of an old man with money. No matter what the reason is, this is a crime.

But there is more to life than the law, and if life were as clear and straightforward as the law, the world would be lovely.

But life is always hateful, just like that helpless family, are they wrong?

No, if they are not allowed to sell this quota, will the fate of the old man be better?

One treatment session can cure his gout, but the family's disease continues.

Without gout, there will always be other things to torture them. Poverty is a heavy stone, and everyone in the family is its crush. You escaped this crush, what about the next time?

The family's decision was actually quite sensible, they tried, they failed, they failed and they regretted it, and now another chance presented itself to them.

Even if the old man cured the gout this time, at his age, what about the next time?How many years can he live?What about this home?What about the child?
Give the places to the elderly, the family still needs to move forward with difficulty, no one can guarantee whether they can escape the next time, but if they sell the places, their fate can be reversed in an instant, the family goes to the city to buy a house, and the son can Going to college, as for the elderly, he is not too bad, at least he can hire a nanny to take care of him. At his age, what is the difference between sitting in a wheelchair all day and sitting on the sofa all day?

His sacrifice will make the whole family grateful to him. What if he is not willing to sacrifice?Zhao Changqi couldn't bear to imagine.

Strictly speaking, Lao Chen and Xiao Chen are right. They are very greedy, but their greed has helped at least two families. An excellent entrepreneur desperately wants to survive, and an ordinary farmer can provide such The opportunity, this one hundred million, is the invisible bond between them, maybe if it is less, the fate of these two people will not be connected together.

Since he couldn't think of a tenable reason to object, Zhao Changqi had no intention of reporting it. Zhao Changqi was responsible for this monitoring project alone. According to Li Daiyuan, other people would ignore such trivial matters. In the intelligence department, Turning a blind eye to the crime of the target mission is almost commonplace.

In his words, the purpose of Zhao Changqi's initial monitoring of Lao Chen was to understand the internal details of quota transactions, understand their behavioral logic, and then generate inspiration that might be able to understand the behavioral logic of aliens. Now that he understands, this is the biggest gain .

For Zhao Changqi's entanglement, Du Yan expressed that she couldn't understand it. She was more concerned about the first batch of photos taken tonight than the story of the old and young Chen and those two families.

The photography team hired by Black Swan was already waiting for the two of them at the door. The first set of photos was their evening scene at the university.

Because we had to wait for everyone to sleep and when there was no one in the school to shoot, it was in the middle of the night, and because it was snowing today, it was snowing today. If the time was delayed, the effect might not be good.

But Zhao Changqi is obviously even more indifferent to photos. He would rather stay at home wearing headphones in a daze, and continue to think about the most reasonable balance between morality and money, which is completely metaphysical, and he may not be able to figure it out in his life.

Du Yan obviously lost her patience in persuading her, and said directly: "Too much guilt is actually because you don't want to, and you don't dare to act responsibly subconsciously. Guilt can only torture yourself."

Zhao Changqi didn't speak. Du Yan knew his character. In fact, refusing to act is also a way of human beings subconsciously fearing and refusing to choose. The reason why they chose this way is probably because their ancestors stood up when they faced a wild beast. He frightened the beast away by staying still.

As a result, this primitive and incompetent gene has been passed down to the present, and humans have created a lot of reasons to package it.

In fact, people are easy to deal with. Du Yan picked up the phone and threatened: "If you don't get up, I'll call 110."

Zhao Changqi moved immediately.
