Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

Tao's past ii...

Zhou Meichen took off her guard and asked curiously:"Why do you do this instead of living a normal life?""

"Normal life, what is that?"The blue uniform asked calmly.

"Find a real job and earn money to support your family."Zhou Meichen

"Like them?"The blue uniform asked again.

"why not?"Zhou Meichen

"I entered the factory when I was young and strong, endured the noise, breathed toxic air, received unmatched wages, had children, drank cheap milk powder, could not afford to eat in high-end restaurants, had no decent clothes, and never traveled. I don’t go to the cinema, I only take the bus, I don’t dare to smoke too many cheap cigarettes, my only pleasure is watching short videos that I don’t understand. I haven’t reached the retirement age yet, I’m already sick, I retire early, I haven’t paid off my mortgage yet, I just have to earn a lot of money in my life. You don’t have much, but most of it is taken away by your mortgage. You not only have to live a careful life, but you also have to be cautious, and you are always worried about misfortune. Is this the kind of life you live? Do you think this is what is called normal life?"Blue uniform

"I? ……I have no idea."Obviously it was Zhou Meichen who was asking him, but he was speechless when he asked back.

Zhou Meichen had never thought about this. Her family environment meant that she had never experienced this feeling for a moment, and she never had to think about it. Obviously she did not approve of it. The ratio between house prices and wages is indeed somewhat inconsistent today, and it does allow some people who plan to settle down to live such a life. Even if it is not exactly like this, it is not much better. However, different places naturally have different costs. No matter where you are or where you are, not everyone can live in a way that satisfies them, and not everyone has the conditions to pursue their ideals. We only pray that the relationship between desire and hard work will be closer.

"What grudges do you have with Zhang Guo?"Zhou Meichen.

Blue Uniform looked at the equipment inside:"Grudges? Do you know where the raw materials for processing come from?"

"have no idea."Zhou Meichen

"These raw materials are imported, but they are actually waste that needs to be processed from abroad. Can you imagine imported waste?"Blue uniform

"It is still a legal trade practice, and if it is legal, it should be protected. We have a large labor force and can increase employment. Her company is a major taxpayer here, which at least promotes regional development."Zhou Meichen has heard that every year, a lot of waste is shipped from overseas to China for processing. It is what people on the Internet often call foreign garbage. This kind of trade is really uncomfortable.

"employment rate? The process of processing these wastes produces dust and a large amount of wastewater containing chemical substances. There are more than 40 kinds of metal substances in the red water. As the rivers seep into the land, the heavy metals in crops exceed the standard. Those thick smoke are the source of smog. For this, the environment pays a heavy price, seriously damaging the health of workers and surrounding residents, and even destroying families. The cost of subsequent treatment and environmental management is far higher than that. tax. Moreover, apart from the factories, the surrounding areas did not bring about real development, but instead caused other qualified residents nearby to move away."Blue uniform

"Doesn’t the factory’s environmental protection meet the standards?"Zhou Meichen just noticed the pool over there. The color of the water was indeed very dirty. You could smell it even with a mask on.

"If the inspection person comes and meets the standard, but if he leaves, it may not necessarily meet the standard?"

"What's the meaning?"

"If you are interested, you can investigate further."Blue uniform

"Aren’t the equipment introduced in the factory all the latest? It was also highly publicized."Zhou Meichen

"Are these advanced devices? Of course, advanced equipment meets environmental protection requirements, but it is very expensive. Those few units are just decorations and cannot meet the factory's orders at all."The blue uniform pointed to some medicines next to it, and there were barrels of them there, and then said:"These are not for advanced machines, but for old equipment. They contain toxic chemicals, even if you wear a mask. It can also cause dizziness, cancer, leukemia, and even sub-health of newborn babies, etc. The acid content of the water in the pool seriously exceeds the standard. As long as a person is soaked in the water for 30 minutes, the skin cannot bear it. Long-term exposure may even cause cancer."

"Now that the industry is upgrading, these problems have attracted attention, and I heard that they will be rectified soon."Zhou Meichen knows that according to our usual style, once noticed, rectification should be done very quickly.

"Who should deal with the pollution that has been caused?"Blue uniform

"So are you here to deliver justice?"Zhou Meichen

"I'm just a speck in the ocean, an insignificant person. I can't host it, and I don't want to host it. I'm just doing it for money."Blue uniform

"The factory has all the money in the bank, how do you get it?"Zhou Meichen

"Always keep some cash in the factory. Leaving it all in the bank is sometimes inconvenient."

"How much money can there be in the factory?"Zhou Meichen

"5 million, is it too much?"

"Are you trying to grab 5 million in cash?"Zhou Meichen

"is it not OK?"

"5 million is more than 50 kilograms, how do you take it out?"Zhou Meichen

"You will know when the time comes whether you can take it away or not."Blue uniform

"We have our laws and no one can break them no matter what?"Zhou Meichen

"The law cannot make everyone equal, but everyone should be equal before the law. If every violator can pay the corresponding price, violations will be greatly reduced."Blue uniform

"Did she break the law?"Zhou Meichen

"At least it did not comply with environmental protection laws, nor did it comply with labor laws."Blue uniform

"That doesn't mean you have the right to judge."

"Of course I do not have the power to judge, let alone the ability. I just do something that I think is fair, and I am willing to pay the price for it."Blue uniform

"How can I be sure that I will do it more fairly than her?"

"It is indeed impossible to be sure, but at least it is certain that she is unfair."Blue uniform

"Are you saying that to be fair?"

"What is fairness to an individual? Is 996 fair? Is it unfair to lie flat? Who sets the standards and who has the final say? What is fairness to society as a whole?"

The topic made the two of them a little sad. They both knew that they couldn't change anything.

"Do you do this if something happens to you? What about your wife?"Zhou Meichen's heart has changed, and she began to worry. 2

"What would your husband do if you encountered danger at work?"The blue uniform still answered with a rhetorical question.

"I am single."Zhou Meichen

"Me too"

"You should be in your 30s, why don't you find a wife, live a stable life, and take care of your children."Zhou Meichen

"You shouldn't be in your 20s either? She's beautiful and can easily find a man she can rely on, so why do she have to do this dangerous job?"Blue uniform

"What's the difference between getting married for money and being a prostitute for a long time?"Zhou Meichen

"What's the difference between marrying a woman you don't love and visiting prostitutes regularly."Blue uniform

"I won't marry just anyone."Zhou Meichen

"Me too"

"I will not compromise for the sake of age."Zhou Meichen

"Me too"

"Don't you have a girlfriend?"Zhou Meichen

"have"

"Why not get married?"Zhou Meichen

"It’s not time yet, what about you?"The blue uniform asked after stopping for a while.

"There is a man by your side, do you plan to get married?"Zhou Meichen

"Maybe."Blue uniform

"Why don't you love her enough?"Zhou Meichen

"enough."Blue uniform

"Doesn't she love your mother?"Zhou Meichen

"like."Although the blue uniform's answer was brief, his tone was firm.

"why?"Zhou Meichen

"She is no longer around now, and……"There was a hint of sadness in the blue uniform's voice

"And what?"Zhou Meichen was as curious as ever.

"I'm afraid time is running out!"

"Time is running out? Is that why you do these desperate things?"Zhou Meichen

"What do you think?"The blue uniform looked at Zhou Meichen.

Zhou Meichen didn't answer, thinking that it shouldn't be like this. After a while of silence, the blue uniform asked again:"What about you? Do you love him too?"

"I didn’t like it much before."Zhou Meichen.

The two people sounded like old friends meeting each other after not seeing each other for a long time. They each took different paths, but found that they had the same understanding. They were able to open their hearts and were as graceful as appreciating rare works of art at the same time. They looked at each other and looked at each other. Cherish them, and they can't help but smile. They are a beautiful scenery flashing in the dark night, flashing by in an instant, a treasure suddenly found among the waste, full of dust, hidden in the darkness and people cannot notice it, being No one was willing to turn over the dust. Zhou Meichen's eyes became gentle.

Maybe for a moment, just for a moment, she felt the emotion in his eyes so strongly that no matter how dark the night was, it might be like this. , you can’t find it when you want to look for it, you can’t see it when you’re looking forward to it, you suddenly meet it at that moment, but you can’t get it, that’s why it’s precious......
