How Am I Still Alive?

"You still know how to come?"

"How dare I not come when your ancestors call you."

Originally, Lu Ping'an didn't plan to go to the development zone management committee (government), but now, it seems that he really can't escape.

".Ancestor? I have quite a few here. Which one is specific?"

"Oh, the one who cut the ribbon, the one who is going to marry you to me, is the one who has the most say in your clan."

"Snapped!"

The cup he was pouring was broken to the ground. Wang Xier looked at the uninvited friend in front of him with a horrified look on his face.

".I refused."

"call."

Wang Xier took a deep breath, and then she really came back to her senses.

The next moment, she frowned and looked at Lu Ping'an with a somewhat unhappy expression.

"Why refuse? I mean. Well, that's not what I meant, you know."

The woman, who was a little angry for no reason, became even more unhappy when she looked at the man in front of her, who was reading a newspaper with his legs crossed and seemed not to care about the matter at all.

"I don't care, it's just a decoration anyway, but I guess half of your life plans are ruined."

However, Lu just flipped through the newspaper and said something casually, which made the other party feel more at ease.

The married Gu Liang throws away the water. Once she actually enters into a political marriage with Lu Ping'an, no matter how she considers it, the "road to the throne" that Wang Xi'er is currently working on will probably have no hope at all.

In this regard, Lu Ping'an actually knows a little bit about it. Among the new generation of the local Saphos royal family, Wang Xi'er is considered the most promising. The income from Green Planet has improved his status in the clan a lot, and he has the control of the family. She is responsible for the government affairs of this increasingly important development zone, and has essentially mastered independent financial, political, and armed freedoms.

If she is really dragged out to get married at this time, even if she can obtain a higher political status on the "human side" by virtue of the marriage, the political power within the clan will probably not have to be thought about, and everything in her hands will be handed over now.

".Then I still want to thank you."

When saying this, Wang Xier gritted his teeth.

The more we get along with her, her princess temperament disappears. In Lu Pingan's eyes, she is just an ordinary girl who has a strong pursuit of power and dares to fight.

"You're welcome."

While saying irritating words, Lu Pingan threw the newspaper on the table, pointed at it, and told the other party to take a look.

"What is it? A recruitment advertisement? What's the point? What's wrong?"

Wang Xier frowned and looked for a long time without seeing anything wrong.

"Look at the salary of a general worker. It's six hundred yuan a month. I've never seen it lower than that. At least not on Earth. There is indeed a lower salary on Mercury 42."

Lu Pingan sighed. This pot may not be his, but it is more or less related to him.

"Six hundred."

After taking out her fingers and calculating, Wang Xier also frowned.

"Now in 2001, although the national average salary is only 900, in fact, it is no problem for ordinary urban workers to live on 1,500 yuan a day, but on 600 yuan, it is difficult to live, Your Highness."

Seeing that the noble-born princess did not understand for a long time, the commoner Lu Ping'an seemed to have a thorn in his words.

"I know, I'm just calculating whether six hundred is enough to survive. Rice has recently increased by 15%, meat has also increased, and the average rent has also increased. Tents are now charging environmental management fees, these vampires."

But Wang Xi'er is more knowledgeable than Lu Ping'an expected.

The more she calculated, the more uncomfortable she became.

Contrary to most expectations, life as a “refugee” not only requires money, but it is also quite expensive and necessary.

The lack of stable housing means that "food", "drinking water" and "hot water" have to be spent. While tent life brings high crime rates, it also exposes these vulnerable aliens to another round of exploitation.

The overflow population has further increased the local living population. In fact, the local rental prices are at least 30% higher than those in the ancient city, and housing prices start at three times. In this regard, it has something to do with Wang Xier and the others. Those nobles who spread phosphorus And the rich are still rich.

For "refugees", completely incomprehensible fees and taxes like environmental management fees are just a way to find reasons to collect money. Most of the local "urban management" are people who spread phosphorus, but they are even more ruthless.

"I remember, there were one thousand more last month."

At this moment, Wang Xier looked at Lu Ping'an with a bit of resentment in her eyes.

"What do you blame me for? Even if the regulations are really related to me, they haven't been implemented at all."

In fact, this level of laws and regulations may not really reach the grassroots even if Lu Pingping returns to Mercury 42 after finishing his work.

To implement this kind of "guiding opinions", it needs to be distributed step by step to various departments and levels, and then organize executors and managers to learn and understand.

After coming up with a system, it takes time and requires the cooperation of lower-level units to fully implement it. It is not something that can be done in one go. Many laws and regulations are being implemented and implemented, but there is no follow-up. It is very likely that they will be implemented at the grassroots level. Can't go down anymore.

"Just because of the wind, some people are planning to take advantage of the typhoon to make money."

It seems that Wang Xier still understands it very well. The policy has not yet been released, but some people are already using this reason to make money.

She puffed up her cheeks, feeling a little unhappy, but in the end, she sighed.

If she guessed correctly, she might not be able to control this layer by layer.

After all, most of my relatives have some connections. The bosses behind many companies in the development zone are members of the royal family who are trying to make money.

Civilian life? They only care about their increasingly thin wallets and never-ending luxurious feasts.

Even in the past era, when they were still on the mainland, they did not do it as always. Perhaps it was even more excessive back then. Slaves were just a type of private property. Why should slaves be paid for their work.

".I.I'll try."

"Are you so unsure?"

"It's difficult. If I want to manage, I have to treat everyone equally, and now I have the right to speak within the clan. Many brothers and sisters are already coveting my position. They don't want me to make mistakes."

Rubbing her eyebrows, Wang Xier was also helpless.

After years of doing this, she has had enough of being angry. Not only the local government will put pressure on her, but her brothers and uncles are also becoming more and more disgusting.

At that time, they were not optimistic about the ancient city, so they allowed themselves, the "younger generation" to speculate successfully. Even though they gained more say in the clan, it was still not enough compared to their elders and brothers who already had the right to inherit the royal family.

"Most of them are very realistic. They just want to be idle princes, but they can maintain a wealthy life under such circumstances. Hey, some of them go beyond that. Do you know how many 'rebellion' incidents I have destroyed in the past two years? 10 Six incidents, once a month is considered daily. The most outrageous thing is that the evidence is conclusive. They don’t care if I take it back to the clan! I don’t care at all! Instead, they accuse me of stopping them. I #@￥!”

Lu Pingan listened to the other party's complaints, touched his chin and said.

"Otherwise, you can just follow me."

"Snapped!"

The woman's teacup fell to the floor again. This time, she was really heartbroken. Her pair of precious tea sets were still made from home, and one piece was missing after being thrown.

"No, thank you. You are a good person, but we are not suitable. You hate women who pursue power, and I also hate a peaceful life."

At this moment, Wang Xier was infinitely calm.

She doesn't hate Lu Pingan, in fact she has a good impression of him. But she feels the same as Lu Pingan. Being friends and brothers is good, but as lovers or even husband and wife, the compatibility is really bad.

And no matter how much she likes power, she doesn't want to compromise her future.

In fact, it was because she did not want to be a tool for "marriage" and was able to control her own destiny and was born into a noble family that she did not dare to stop for a moment.

Although the other party's "proposal" did make her a little excited, after careful consideration, she still chose to refuse.

After all, the result of this marriage is probably that I will become the other party's vassal.

"Well, what I mean is that you can work with me. Now I have a big project and I just need a coordinator for the phosphorus spreader."

"You should have said it earlier! Make it clear!" Then the woman became angry with embarrassment.
