Cosma Empire

Many people will encounter some problems when applying for certain jobs. The employer will ask a question that may involve discrimination-city people or country people.

There have always been people complaining about these issues and they have caused heated discussions in the society many times. The law has also formulated some relevant measures to deal with this kind of discriminatory behavior, but there are still many companies that will raise such questions when recruiting personnel. question.

Is this a form of discrimination?

Is the reluctance to recruit workers from the countryside just because the worker is from the countryside?

In fact, this is not the case. For capitalists, where the workers come from has no direct relationship with the labor force that squeezes them. Even if these workers come from outer space, as long as they are arranged in the working class, they cannot prevent the capitalists from squeezing their subjective needs. .

The real reason why city and country are opposite words comes from conscious behavior, the conscious behavior of urban people and the conscious behavior of country people.

It will also be said that they cannot see the difference between the two, but the difference not only exists, but is very great.

In this rapidly changing society, every day in the city is a new change, new technological products are born, new laws and regulations are established, and the emergence of more new things constantly washes away people's understanding of the world.

But in rural areas, the slow rhythm and the farther distance from the city center make the changes in the countryside often take a seasonal or annual cycle. They know less about new things and slower than urban people, which also means It means that when there are some unexpected situations, it is difficult for them to react immediately and deal with them correctly.

The situation encountered by the little secretary at this time is actually somewhat similar to that encountered by Alyssa back then. It is also related to her own interests and safety, and she also faces a fateful choice at a certain moment.

Both of them have similar backgrounds—Alyssa's father is a government official, the director of the Transportation Bureau, and the little secretary works in the core political unit.

They all come from middle-class families. Never doubt the price of an apartment in the Imperial City. This is not something a girl in her twenties who has been working for less than ten years can afford. Just like the villa in Oak Bay, it has risen to 300. More than 800,000 yuan, and villas of the same size in other cities may only cost 300,000 to 500,000 yuan.

So their choices were almost the same, and the little secretary subconsciously picked up the phone and dialed the number of Du Lin's residence in the imperial capital.

She remembered these numbers. As the secretary on duty in the office outside the leader's door of the new party, she had to firmly remember the names of everyone at the top of the new party.

Personality, characteristics, and their recent travel information, including their phone numbers.

The phone was connected after three rings, and Du Lin answered the phone himself, "Help me, I live in..."

She didn't know whether Du Lin would save her, and she didn't even know if the people outside were from Du Lin, but at this moment, the alarm call was useless, and the doorman of the apartment didn't seem interested in meddling, and the surrounding tenants It is even more impossible to intervene in such a thing. There is only one person who she can ask for help and who is capable enough to save her, and that is Du Lin.

Du Lin never disappoints, he told the girl for a while, let her protect herself, hide herself, and then count to one hundred.

The little secretary did as Mu Lin asked. She quickly ran into the bedroom and pushed all the movable things behind the door.

The girl who has never shown special talent in strength is like a god at this moment, even a heavy bed or wardrobe can be easily pushed by her.

During this process, the police outside the door began to violently break into the door after a warning. According to the police, the caller did not show up. In order to avoid accidents, they have the right to forcibly enter the room to check whether the life safety of the caller has been threatened. Do you need help.

The little secretary was about to cry. While wiping her tears, she held her head in her hands, buried her head between her knees, and started counting down according to the purpose.

one hundred……

Ninety-nine……

Ninety-eight...

The banging on the door outside suddenly stopped with a bang that made the walls tremble a few times, and the sound of leather shoes kicking closer and closer was obviously more than two people, there were three people outside!

A single apartment is not too big, with one bedroom, a simple living room where you can cook food and a place for washing, and the rest is only the bedroom.

There was a knock on the bedroom door, and the voice of the previous policeman came from outside the door, "Madam, please open the door, we are the police, you can trust us..."

The little secretary covered her ears, and continued to count down in horror, as if these ever-changing numbers had a magical power, which gave her a great power that she couldn't believe, like... as long as she finished counting the last number, everything would go away. Terrible things will end.

The policemen outside the door began to slam into the bedroom door again, and the slamming sound of the door and the intensity of the vibration behind it became stronger and stronger, which made the tears that the little secretary had just wiped dry flow out again.

She could even see the door opened a crack, and a somewhat embarrassed policeman outside the door was panting heavily, staring at him with cold eyes through the gap less than an inch wide, and then kept banging his shoulders on the wooden door.

The furniture behind the door played a big role. The small space allowed these furniture to be used very reasonably. They blocked the door tightly, but this did not mean that the door could not be opened.

The policeman paused for a moment, and then began to smash the door panel with his baton. The distorted door panel soon made a different twisting sound than before, and the door panel was smashed through with a dull cracking sound.

The policeman outside the door no longer tried to persuade the little secretary to open the door, but stared at her while pushing or lifting the furniture behind the door to make room for the door to open.

The girl burst into tears at this moment, she couldn't even count down, her lips trembled out of control, and there was no room for more things in her brain besides fear of pain and death.

Seeing that the aggravation behind the door was cleaned up, the policeman sucked his stomach and began to squeeze in. The girl seemed to remember something at this moment, and she looked around for something that could be used to prevent the policeman from entering.

Lamps, hangers, but not very effective.

The police finally squeezed in. He grabbed the little secretary's hair and tore it vigorously, with a hideous and contorted expression on his face, he seemed to enjoy the fear on the girl's face, "You should have opened the door, ma'am!"

His other hand suddenly touched the little secretary's waist, and slowly groped upwards. The girl was trembling all over, because of fear, there was something else.

Her lips moved slightly, and the policeman was a little curious, and asked with a smirk, "What are you talking about?"

"Nine……"

"eight……"

"Seven, please, hurry up!"

"six……"

"Counting?" The policeman laughed, and continued to raise his other hand, "Counting is a good way, we have plenty of time to play this game tonight..."

When he finished this sentence, the girl counted the last number.

When he was about to say something more, suddenly there were several dense gunshots in his ears. When he turned his head and looked outside the door, a gun had already been aimed at his head.

Puff puff!

The corner of the back of the head left for the little secretary was suddenly lifted by something, a stream of heat and some sticky stuff sprayed her face, her whole body trembled violently, and she stood there stupidly, like It was... lost all consciousness.

The policeman's body lost its strength and quickly collapsed on the ground. His fall also pushed the little secretary to sit on the ground. It seemed that the pain in her buttocks made her recover somewhat, and the men outside the door also squeezed Come in.

He cleaned up the furniture behind the door, grabbed the girl's arm, dragged her up from the ground, and pulled her out.

"Boss asked me to be there in a hundred seconds, I hope I'm not late." The man with a stern face pulled the girl and ran wildly down the aisle. The girl was dragged away like a marionette, without any initiative .

This sentence seems to have some magical power. After finishing speaking, the girl's eyes suddenly became focused. She began to run subjectively, accelerated, and asked, "One hundred seconds..."

The man replied without turning his head, "One hundred seconds..."

The two quickly went downstairs, got into the car and left here. On the way, they missed a few police cars with flashing lights. The girl looked back from the rear window. They turned at the second intersection, which was where they lived. place.

Compared with the helplessness just now, she feels much better now, and also a little tired.

Fifteen minutes later, she came to a villa, and she saw Du Lin in the lobby, which made her suddenly and inexplicably relaxed.

Just as she was about to express her gratitude, Du Lin covered her nose a little and moved away. He beckoned and called a girl, "Take her to wash it off, she smells of sweat and..." , he didn't say, but everyone knows what it smells like.

At this moment, the little secretary wished she could cut off her face and throw it away, it was too embarrassing, she closed her jaw tightly in front of her chest, and went to the bathroom with another girl.

After carefully grooming and changing into brand new clothes, she appeared in front of Du Lin again, and there was no strange smell on her body, only a clear scent of flowers.

"Thanks!"

This was the first sentence that the little secretary said after her mood stabilized tonight, and she thanked Du Lin for saving her.

Du Lin smiled and responded, just looking at the girl.

He held a wine glass in his hand, pinched the mouth of the glass with his thumb and forefinger, and held the bottom of the glass with his little finger. The wine glass was constantly spinning in his palm, and he seemed a little embarrassed to see it. The girl looked elsewhere .

The luxurious decoration and furnishings are not much different from other villas in the central city of the imperial capital. Some of the antiques and artworks displayed here can be sold for tens of thousands or even more expensive.

For people like Du Lin, wealth has long lost the meaning it should have, and even the concept of wealth has been blurred.

"What happened tonight will not only happen once!" After two or three minutes, Du Lin said this sentence, which attracted the girl's attention and made her heart beat violently twice.

Seeing that Du Lin didn't seem to have any further explanations, the girl whose head had already lost most of her thinking ability couldn't help asking, "Why?"

At other times, she might have guessed it, but she was frightened just now, and her mind was very disturbed, and she didn't have enough attention for her to think.

Du Lin shrugged his shoulders and crossed his legs. He took a sip of the wine and put the cup on the coaster on the coffee table, "Because as long as you are caught, my enemies can master a weapon against me .”

The simple explanation made the girl wake up immediately. What Du Lin said was not wrong at all. If she was threatened and hurt enough, she would not be able to guarantee that she could tell the truth, and Du Lin hadn't threatened her much before. , she lied.

In order not to be so painful, not so painful, and not suffer more injuries or even die because of it, she will definitely compromise, and then she will speak a lot of testimony against Du Lin.

This made her tremble a bit, she had already thought of more serious consequences, she sneaked a glance at Du Lin, she felt that if she was really coerced to give false testimony to accuse Du Lin (?), Du Lin would definitely not let her go .

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and she couldn't find a suitable solution for a while, so she could only look at Du Lin helplessly, "What should I do?"

Du Lin stood up with a smile, walked to the edge of the bar, took a new wine glass, and brought a bottle of wine over. He poured some wine for the girl, "It's very simple, so that those who want to frame me don't have time to talk to me." Put your energy into doing that, and when you get through that time, you're safe."

He pushed the poured wine in front of the girl. The girl held it in both hands and hesitated for a moment. After taking a big sip, her face turned red.

Du Lin stretched out his index finger and slid it lightly on the girl's face. The girl didn't dare to avoid it, her face turned red as if she could spurt blood from a small opening.

"I like your freckles, it makes people feel close...", he smiled, "So in order not to be disturbed by those people, so we need to let people know the truth of some things...", he picked up The wine glass touched the one held by the girl, "Let people know the truth about Mr. Powers falling down the stairs!"

The girl suddenly stared at Du Lin with wide eyes. She didn't believe that Du Lin would tell the truth, but if he didn't tell the truth, then the so-called truth might be...

The girl shivered again, and because of this, she deeply felt the terror at the core of the political vortex, oppression, murder, and even framing. These ugliest things are like air here, surrounding people, and people have already Get used to it.

Du Lin looked at the girl and nodded again and again, very satisfied. He pointed at the girl, and someone beside him brought paper and pens. He looked at the girl and said, "I said, memorize it, and memorize it!"
