Dodgson hummed meaninglessly, he hesitated for a long time and thought twice.

At this time, what should I say?

The orange cat thought suddenly.

Dad is proud of you?She has long been my pride.

Want to do things smarter?She doesn't need to remind herself now.

Do you want to trust your companions and the people?In this regard, she might do better than herself.

After all, Dodgson didn't really want to be a director.The reason why he achieved this position is just because he feels that he seems to be able to do something and change something.

And now...

He even felt tricky and powerless.

Today's swift retreat is not a kind of escape?

But she is so brave...

Thinking of this, Dodgson finally knew what kind of advice he could give her.

So, as a father, he spoke seriously and gave what he could give... the final warning:

"—Anyway, stay safe. I love you."

"I love you too, Dad."

Chapter No.16 Chaos and Carnival

Happy Island, Bridge District, Whale Foods.

Holding slogans, neon signs, or wearing all kinds of weird clothes, people gathered in front of the closed company door.The employees of the company shrank in the company, timidly and nervously looking out through the windows.

The crowd outside the door quarreled for a long time, but they never settled on a goal.

——Because strictly speaking, they don't actually know what they are going to do when they gather here.

They don't have any feud with Whale Foods, and robbing an uptown company is a very different crime than robbing a downtown factory—the former will be filmed all the way by ubiquitous cameras, and the evidence is solid.Even if Tianen Group sends out the executive department, there will be no problem.

In other words, they came to provoke the executive department.

It is precisely because they have not been held accountable for their previous robbery of the factory in the lower city...or in other words, all those who went to the lower city to commit crimes have not received any punishment.So their courage grew.

Most of these people are students of different stages, ages, and schools.Among the remaining few people, quite a few are unemployed vagrants who have just lost their jobs-since about half a year ago, before the establishment of the Relief Society, there was a wave of unemployment in the upper city.

If it wasn't for the strategy of "cutting working hours and salary in half and giving the previous job to two people" implemented by Chairman Sai Lun not long ago to offset a large part of the unemployed, I am afraid that the urban area of ​​Happy Island is now more than 3% of the unemployed.Today, that figure is [-]%.

People with serious jobs rarely come out to mess around.Although there are, but not many - roughly less than 1% of people, and most of them come from the apperception area.Among the 3% of the unemployed, there are one-third of such people.They add up to a lot of people.

But this chaotic identity positioning also means that they are hostile to each other, and even look down on each other.In the eyes of the "company dogs" and "salary slaves," those jobless "wild dogs" are just a bunch of losers with nothing.They were forced to come out to rob. They were fundamentally different from those "enlightened ones" who decided to go ahead even though they had a job.

As for the students, these adults all revealed a greasy and decayed atmosphere.They are too realistic, either crazy and rude, or timid and arrogant.Besides, they can't talk to themselves at all, and they don't even understand the latest popular things.

There is also a chain of contempt among the students.The schools directly affiliated to Tianen Group are completely different from other schools in Tianen District; and these schools in Tianen District are different from schools in other districts; the students from schools in other districts are different from those from the poorest The offspring of workers born in mission schools in the apperception area with the lowest prices, prices and housing prices are also completely different.

There are not even serious schools in the apperception area, only the church has voluntarily opened free church schools here.This place is extremely desolate, there are no entertainment facilities at all, and there are not one or two restaurants within a dozen kilometers of the surrounding area.Teachers who are willing to come here to teach, of course, the quality of teaching will not be very good; most of the "students" here are too lazy to go to school, anyway, they have no money to buy teaching materials, and they can't get into college at all.And a high school degree is really meaningless-it's better to take an electrician exam, or be a security guard.

If the background is better—whether it is a boy or a girl, if you take part-time jobs in the Bridge District, you can earn a month’s income of your parents in a week; if you have a better foundation, you can go to the Compass District, You can make more than a month's worth of money in one day.If I have a little more dream, I will sell myself to those brokerage companies and become an idol trainee.

Although less than one in a thousand people can become famous, this probability is much higher than their probability of being admitted to Tianen University.

Originally, these students had been separated from each other according to their own regions.Except for chatting on the Internet, it is basically impossible to meet in reality.

A resident of Tianen District who was born in Tianen District and whose parents both work in Tianen Group, as long as he can be admitted to Tianen Primary School, he can basically be promoted to Tianen Middle School.Naturally, he also has the money to attend remedial classes or hire tutors, and the probability of going to Tianen University is not low.And after graduating from Tianen University, he will basically be able to enter the Tianen Group-if he goes to those second-level companies, he can easily get mixed up as a middle management; if he goes to a startup company, he can directly take the job share.

People with such a fate cannot understand those children who were born in the apperception zone and grew up surrounded by countless "ground factories" like steel forests and wasteland.

But now, they have the experience of "joint crime".Like an ice cube steeped in a well-layered cocktail, when it is slowly swirled, the colors are mixed together.

Unlike those adults who like to be chaotic or desperate, this is the first time for most of them to commit crimes, or even their first time to do bad things-and this kind of frenzied atmosphere of crime gatherings is different from that of single-person crimes. is also quite different.

They smashed, destroyed, looted, and carnivaled.The act of looting a Lower Town factory looked like a bonfire party.

After the action, the students who had returned with a full load hugged each other enthusiastically and excitedly.Although the things they snatch are worth one point, which is far less than what they can buy with the money they earn from a day's work, this kind of "hunting" behavior gives them a great sense of excitement.Many male and female students who had never met before grew up in the uncontrollable excitement and the strong joy of "plan success".

Those adults, on the other hand, couldn't join in the frenzy.Most of them are trying to grab power - [-]% of them are not leaders, not even the lowest leaders.In the company, they are all low-level waste and the excluded, but in the eyes of these students, they are "interested adults".

So they start to swell and get drunk.They try to seize the "power" that is still in the barren stage, try to order the children to do something, or immediately plan to realize their power to give themselves some preferential treatment.Unlike the vast majority of students who have not assembled prostheses, adults are basically [-]% equipped with prostheses, especially the "salary slaves" in the company.

How can an immature body fight against a cold and powerful machine?

Among the students, there are still many naive and law-abiding people who will become dragging their feet in this atmosphere.This makes it impossible for children to organize effective forces against these "dirty adults".These losers who have been eliminated in the corporate environment seem to have become lords and kings, embracing left and right, front and back.

This is a treatment that they could not have enjoyed in their entire lives.They inevitably swelled up.

But as the "high-quality resources" were looted, these adults started to attack each other.

After all, they didn't really know what they were going to do here.The reason why "whale food company" was chosen is only because their boss is a tooth comber and relatively famous.

Compared with those unknown big companies that the students have never heard of or understood, this boss who has been on the Emperor's talk show, knows Ultramarine, and joined the Fuji Society Internet celebrity is more suitable as their object of prestige.

So they all came together.

But what exactly do you want to do?To what extent?Who will go first?Who will direct?How to divide the spoils in the end?

These things made them quarrel with each other.Because there is no one who can convince everyone to be the leader, they don't know what they are going to do when they come here-they don't even know what the so-called "resources are exhausted" means.

Most of them, in fact, just simply don't want to go to class.

In order not to attend class, they would rather come out and mess around.This is much more exciting than the boring class - not to mention, those goddesses and gods they couldn't get close to in the past, but now they can easily get in touch with them intimately.

"Since we have done such evil things, there is nothing to be afraid of lesser evil things." The students who thought this way even started to try more tricks, trying to gather more people together for carnival.

Rather than saying that they came to "raise resources" and "fight against the company"... it would be better to say that they came to play.

No school, no need to go home to see the faces of parents, but also vent violence, pressure and desire from morning to night, and have a sleepless carnival all night.This is undoubtedly an interesting "game".

They even just stood in front of the food company and watched the adults arguing, and they felt bored within less than an hour of standing.Some people squatted down to play games, some couples who just met hugged and kissed each other as if no one was around, and some people talked about wanting to go back and continue playing.

"—We have so many people, we can surround their entire company. What are you afraid of?"

Someone shouted in the crowd.

So, before the adults quarreled and came up with a result.

There was a student whose soul relative was a bull, and directly threw the Molotov cocktail through the window——

Chapter No.17 A boss who is not as rich as his employees

The sudden attack directly disrupted everyone's plans.

The crowd gathered outside, and even the employees inside the company were stunned.

Although they came here just to provoke the executive department...but they didn't really intend to confront the executive department head-on!They didn't even carry weapons like sticks.

Where did Lengtouqing come from, why did he bring his own Molotov cocktail?

In an instant, some adults who knew the methods of the seven giants felt a chill, realizing that they might be tricked—someone from a company had sneaked in!

So they frowned and quietly retreated behind the crowd.

And the Molotov cocktail also prevented an employee on the second floor who was standing in front of the window watching the excitement from dodging, and was directly poured on the front.Although his arms subconsciously covered his face, the flames also touched his trouser legs.

After two other employees were smashed to the ground, the splashed liquid flames splashed onto the upper body.One of them reacted fairly quickly, screaming and took off his shirt; while the other didn't react, his hair was scorched by the flames, and an unpleasant smell came out immediately.The friends around him hurriedly pulled him to the ground, took off their clothes and flicked the flames on his body desperately... But it was a step too late after all, as his skin was obviously burned.

Combing the teeth originally ordered all his employees medical insurance above advanced level, and the burned employee happened to also subscribe to the "Platinum Member of the Medical Group" of Ampoule Biomedical.

At the moment he was injured, the "special member emergency treatment team" at Ampoule Biomedical had already received the news and set off immediately by helicopter.

Combing his teeth also saw the timing, shaking his fat and huge body and rushing to the first floor of the company.

"Just open the door and let them in!"

Fang Fang shouted loudly.

The moment he appeared, the gradually chaotic employees seemed to have found their backbone.They were immediately fearless, and the haze and fear on their faces disappeared.

In Happy Island, the relationship between employees and bosses in other companies is basically adversarial - but the "whale food company" he started is a special case.

Brushing teeth looks ugly, fat, vulgar, narcissistic, uneducated, and has uncontrollable violent impulses...

But he actually lived very clearly.

He knew that no matter how hard human beings struggled, with luck and strength, at best they could become human directors of the Big Seven.But human directors may not be able to act willfully, and there are elves with long-sightedness on top of them.

Since this is the case, can you relax a little bit... You can become the "big man" that those street kids dream of being with only seven or eight points of effort and not being so extreme on weekdays.

Because his father was a gambler.He fled from Yongquan Island to Happy Island just to avoid debts... But even if he escaped, he still didn't get rid of his problems.

He started a company but used too risky an operating strategy.In the end, the company went bankrupt, and he was in debt of more than 80 yuan.He was directly caught by the mercenaries of the debt collection company Uncoded, and he dismantled the whole body parts and went to pay off the debt.There is no "no inheritance, no debt" rule in Happy Island.At that time, when I was a child combing my teeth, I was held in the arms of my trembling mother, watching the people from the debt collection agency come and go at home, removing all valuable things.

He had no fear and no fear at all.His mother was a native of Happy Island... She was a fox, not even much taller than Comb Ya, who was only five or six years old at the time.

Fortunately, as a rare giant aquatic species soul relative, the parts on his father's body are still relatively valuable.In addition to the seventy-seven and eighty-eight things in the house, he and his mother don't have to be taken away and sold for the time being.But at that time, there was only one bed and an empty wooden cabinet left in their house.

After all these things were removed, the young comb teeth understood the truth of life.

- not greedy.Never be greedy.

From the very beginning, combing his teeth did not point his goal at the high dome and the sky-reaching tower.

As long as you are at a height that satisfies you, all that remains is to do your best to stabilize it.

He has pursued this philosophy in this way until now.

The final method of combing teeth is to buy people's hearts.He was originally a gentle character, and he couldn't be cruel.And he knew his shortcomings, so he decided to simply push the boat along and not hurt those close to him.

At the age of eight, he had grown to 1.8 meters and weighed 180 kilograms.Because he is too big and ugly, and has extremely rare aquatic relatives, he was bullied by his classmates for no reason.They used the name of teacher to intimidate him and threatened him to pay them protection money, but this was not at all effective for brushing teeth.

Not to mention submitting, he didn't even hesitate.He moved his hands directly, and knocked down all the dozen or so people by himself.It was easy for him, because the kids were less than half his height.

He felt that it was meaningless to bully these little guys, so he beat up all the teachers who rushed over to sidestep the fight.

Young or old, male or female, rich or poor, regardless of status.Anyone who accused him was beaten up by him.But he prevented everyone from being beaten into a disability, and he cleverly controlled his own strength.

After that, he was expelled as a matter of course.

But he's also famous - he's employed as a night security guard by the entertainment clubs in the Bridge District.

Starting out as a security guard, he then taught himself how to be a pilot.Eventually became a truck driver, hauling goods part-time when he wasn't working as a security guard.Until that year, he completely bought the truck he rented.In the past ten years, he had confronted the mercenaries in the lower city seven or eight times, and was seriously injured three times.But they all went through it abruptly, and they were not hospitalized once.

Because he has no money to see a doctor.

In the end, he was fired because of a word from a big man he had never met - because he was too ugly, and he was much taller than the people around him, so he was not good-looking.At that time, he already had a height of [-] meters and a terrible weight of [-] catties. More than half of the gates on Happy Island did not allow him to freely enter and exit.

At that time, when I was combing my teeth, I thought about going to black boxing.But he felt it was too bullying.

Those who would go to underground boxing rings to fight for money, there were only a handful of people who liked to fight as much as he did.Most of them are desperate people who have nowhere to go... Why do poor people make things difficult for them?In the endless underground boxing arena, his existence is a kind of fear and despair.

Fang Fang doesn't want people to carry fear and hatred when his name is mentioned.

He decided that day.

If he wants to do any business in the future, he will do "human favor business".

At that time, the mother who combed her teeth died.

So he simply sold the house and lived in his truck.He bought some ingredients and made some cheap and delicious food himself-such as sticky pastry candies, loose roast meat, and baked eggs with meat filling.

Driving around in trucks that have been converted into food trucks.

Because he's selling food to the kids, he chooses the best, cleanest ingredients that he can get without losing money.He often wandered around the school, and his experience ten years ago was frightening, so the teachers at the school kept reporting him and trying to drive him away.

But the staff who came after receiving the report verified that his food was safe and hygienic.

In the end, people directly believed that the things sold by that "big brother" were all right.

"Although it's more expensive, it's more reassuring than others", so parents would rather their children come to him to buy snacks and snacks.

As the funds continue to flow back, more and more things can be sold by combing teeth.He kept studying and researching, and finally he hired five or six people to help him work, and drove three real mobile food trucks.And distributed half of all his profits to them, but the cost was deducted from his own half.

As a result, the employees did some calculations, and they were shocked to find that combing their teeth was not as rich as their own employees!

These employees have been following him and have not left until now.Until later, he established the "Whale Food Company", and these people became the most original shareholders, and even gave them half of the profits.But later they all returned all the shares they held to Comb Ya.

Because combing teeth still adheres to the original promise-he only takes half, and bears the risks and costs.And the rest, no matter how much you earn, everyone will share equally.He also paid for expensive medical insurance for his employees at his own expense.In the case that Happy Island only has weekends off, each of his employees has four days of free time each month in addition to the fixed Sunday holiday.

He allows employees to take time off at any time, the company also has free food and water, and allocates accommodation.Employees can even borrow the floating vehicles and cars he purchased for free without paying rent—he bought five floating vehicles, [-] cars, and [-] trucks, and they can borrow them if needed.

Brushing your teeth doesn't poach people, they don't even recruit people.When the level of employees is not enough, the choice of brushing teeth is to gather the employees with insufficient ability and invite teachers to teach them.He hasn't even fired a single employee, unless the employees themselves want to leave.There was a chemical analyst who was old and paralyzed... He had no children. Fang Fang hired a nurse and a doctor for him, and took care of him until he died.

This is not based on his pure goodness and righteousness.
