Chapter 188 The Most Precious Person in the World
On August 8, the "sky" of Guyuan City collapsed.
After a deafening explosion, the sky suddenly brightened, then suddenly darkened, and then slowly brightened again.
Zhao Yuxi couldn't wait to return to Guyuan City and summon the person who did this, Yue Haodong.
"I won't ask how this happened. I'm satisfied with the result. Hold a grand mourning ceremony for those people, let people see their mutilated remains, and let others learn from it. All the corpses must be put to good use, and not a single one can be left out. It would be best if their families were invited as well, so that others can see how miserable they are. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Zhao Yuxi said it very tactfully, but Yue Haodong certainly understood what she meant: it was just a family member who died, it was far from being a cause of unbearable grief. If you want to make the living people unbearable grief, you have to do at least one more thing, such as making the deceased's crime public or confiscating the deceased's property. Of course, it would be even better if both of these things were done.
"Understood. I'll arrange for someone to do it right away."
"Lift their bodies, their families, and some more important things high up and bring them to cities across the province so that my colleagues can see them and so that those who are oppressed can see them."
Zhao Yuxi doubted whether the webmaster understood her real intention. If he had held back and lacked some strength, it would be more trouble than it was worth. After all, there was only one chance to set an example, and the example he chose was too correct. If they missed this opportunity, no one else could be as correct and dazzling as him.
Yue Haodong knew that the director of the branch had said it so bluntly, and it was obvious that he had high hopes for him. If he dared to hold back, he would be seen as a quitter in the eyes of the director, and his previous efforts would no longer be efforts, but deceptions. At this point, he had no way out. However, the more this happened, the happier he felt, and the more hopeful he felt.
"Dean, I understand. I will definitely make them suffer and live up to your expectations."
Zhao Yuxi tried her best to distance herself from the matter: "I didn't say that. Just do what you want. There are too many casualties this time, and you have a lot of follow-up work to deal with. During your work, your authority is equivalent to that of my assistant. The other stationmasters in the city will listen to your orders."
"Yes."
The webmaster was so efficient that Zhao Yuxi guessed that he had done something against the rules. Was the person who caused the explosion really someone who had been oppressed? I don't know. Is the person who caused the explosion still alive? I don't know either. She didn't ask these questions, and there was no need to ask them. Because this explosion was indeed what she expected. Those who died in the explosion were all powerful people of the old era, and they deserved to pay with their lives for the arrival of the new era.
What Yue Haodong did was indeed not in compliance with regulations.
The person who caused the explosion had been oppressed before, because there is probably no one in this world who has not been oppressed. The person who caused the explosion had also oppressed others before. What's more interesting is that he is from the research institute and was a subordinate of Yue Haodong when he was the temporary director of the branch.
The subordinate's own ability alone did not allow him to cause such a powerful explosion. Yue Haodong prepared some extremely powerful tools for him and also equipped him with personnel to seal off the scene. If anyone escaped, they would immediately use fire to drive them back. Therefore, there were no survivors in the fire.
Causing an explosion is not the ultimate goal, nor is setting an example. The ultimate goal is to change people's cognition.
The once high and mighty figures have become dust.
A profession that was once high and mighty is about to fall to the bottom.
Once, people were afraid of them. Now, they live in fear and anxiety all day long.
Yue Haodong was very clear about the ultimate goal of the branch dean.
Over the next two days, he wandered around the city, collecting evidence of the crimes committed by those people and gathering together those who had been oppressed, giving them the opportunity to appeal for their grievances.
On August 8, a special memorial service was held in the city center, the most prosperous place. The family members of the deceased trembled as they recounted the deceased's past, all of them were terrified and in tears.
It was always difficult for the onlookers to hear what they were saying, but they could barely piece together the truth of the matter based on the few words that often appeared and were understandable. Then, they were filled with righteous indignation, and if the staff had not stopped them, they might have beaten up the storytellers and even killed them.
Zhao Yuxi and nine assistants stood in the building next to the memorial venue. At this moment, she seemed to see the new order she had dreamed of waving at her.
"Even though it would only take one incident like this to happen, if you have relatives, friends or family working in these places, you'd better ask them to resign immediately. No matter how many times this happens, I will not stop it, and there will only be more and more injured and victims.
"Until one day, they lose all their power and sense of superiority, then I will regard them as ordinary people. I have always been very tolerant of ordinary people."
The nine assistants looked at each other. They all knew what the dean wanted to do, but they could not do what the dean could do, and they could not say what the dean could say.
Finally, Yu Xinyi, the assistant in charge of Guyuan City, spoke bravely under the encouraging gaze of her colleagues: "Dean, I will definitely work hard to turn them into ordinary people."
"The little stationmaster under you has already done this. Turning them into ordinary people is not what you should do most. Just let your subordinates do this kind of small thing. What you need to do is to keep the same pace and direction as me. I am very tolerant of ordinary people, so you should also be very tolerant of ordinary people. I am intolerant of them, so you should also be intolerant of them."
They all remained silent and did not dare to answer.
Zhao Yuxi didn't expect these people to give her an immediate reply. She walked to the window and watched the performance downstairs quietly.
The cries and scolding blended together into one, making people laugh.
"Power can make people happy and fulfilled, but it can also make people sad and empty. They enjoy happiness that ordinary people can't imagine, so of course they have to bear pain that ordinary people don't have to bear. Can you accept what I say?"
Nine assistants rushed to answer "yes".
Zhao Yuxi glanced at the person who answered the latest: "Power cannot bring people back to life, nor can it extend their lifespan, but it can accelerate their death. Do you know what kind of people are the most valuable in this era?"
This question seems to have a standard answer. What kind of people are the most valuable? Obviously, those with extremely low asymptotic rates and strong asymptotes. Putting aside the asymptote factor, the most valuable are of course the ancients. However, none of the nine assistants thought that the answer the dean wanted to hear was "the ancients", so no one spoke.
"You guys...if I were older than you, would you still dare not answer my question? The person who answered the question the last time just now, you answer it. In this era, what kind of people are the most precious?"
Yang Jingyi whispered, "Ancient One."
"The ancients are the most valuable? Is that so? Why don't I think so? The most valuable are not the ancients, but the people who conform to the asymptotic rules. Forget it, you don't understand this, so I won't say it. In addition to the people who conform to the asymptotic rules, there is another type of people who are also very valuable. This group of people has one thing in common, that is, before the advent of 'Darkness', they did not live a life of great wealth and honor. Just remember this point."
The people who meet the asymptotic rule that Zhao Yuxi mentioned are those who have both excellent asymptotic lines and low asymptotic rates. The formula for the strength of the force, the factors related to the asymptotic rate, all the numbers in the formula, and everything in the factors are the best standards for measuring a person. In this era, people who meet the standards are the most valuable, such as Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang.
