    Chapter 284 Five Floating 121 Each

    The only person who has a clearer understanding of the outcome than Lin Chen is Xing Conglian.

    After being with Lin Chen, he felt that what he had experienced was nothing, and now is the real exciting day.

    He has to watch the people he loves risking their lives to charge into battle time and time again, and he feels that this is really a very thoughtful and intelligent choice. Not only that, but he has to endure some idiots questioning this, he never felt that he was With such a bad temper, Lin Chen must have spoiled him.

    In front of him, the public opinion expert was still asking for advice. Of course, Xing Conglian knew that all of these were reported to Shen Heming, but when he saw the analysis article that was widely circulated on the Internet, he was still a little out of touch. anger.

    The article was written by a well-known Internet commentator named Zhai Yong.

    The commentator used to be a well-known host, and he accumulated a large number of fans during his work on the media platform. Later, he turned to self-media, and attracted a lot of people because he always wrote spicy and critical articles... In the words of the dynasty Said to be patients with secondary disease. The number of these people is far beyond imagination. This is Xing Conglian's first reaction after seeing the actual number of retweeted comments.

    The main content of the article is roughly to tell you why not making a choice is the best choice.

    ——This is the responsibility that the government should bear, and the government just puts the responsibility on the individual, so that the individual pays the price for the government's incompetence. We really want to become an indirect murderer under the pressure of seemingly incompetent tyranny. The murderer's responsibility?

    ——Not choosing is a protest. This is not cowardice, but the optimal choice based on rational analysis.

    ——Let those who are desperately trying to decide, this matter itself has nothing to do with us.

    Several paragraphs roughly explain these views from the perspective of legal system and social contract government responsibility, which is in line with Zhai Yong's consistent position.

    If Fang Aizi's classmate Miss Wang sees this article, she will definitely regard Zhai Yong as a male god. Of course, according to the time when Zhai Yong's first few Weibo posts about anti-social people's letters were published, of course, Miss Wang may also read this article. After started Weibo, deeply agreed with it, so tried to pass this point of view to more people.

    The public opinion expert said: "Minister Shen, the general situation is like this. It is not ruled out that there are Internet promoters hyping, but it is also possible that this itself is a reflection of public opinion. According to calculations, the growth rate of online voting has dropped by 72% compared with the previous hour. , Considering the error calibration of the work and rest time, we believe that this article makes more citizens abstain from voting, whether to take measures." He paused, and tentatively said, "If you want a certain result, it is better to do it early. Be a guide, after all... people are really easily influenced."

    This sentence is very vague, people are really easy to be influenced... The implication is that if we do not have the initiative, we will indirectly give the initiative to the other party.

    Minister Shen frowned, Xing Conglian knew that the old man might be full of confidence and willing to gamble at a certain moment, but the higher the position, the less able he was to do whatever he wanted. After all, he had to bear more pressure and had to consider more.

    Therefore, at this moment, he did not intervene to influence the old man's decision.

    But at this time, the old man looked at him: "Conglian... This is really difficult..."

    Xing Conglian can fully understand the heavy pressure on the old man. In a sense, the old man has to bear more than he or Lin Chen.

    "He probably told you something, like a prediction about the trend?"

    "I did." Xing Conglian nodded.

    "Then why didn't you tell me?" the old man asked again.

    Xing Conglian really couldn't figure out what medicine was in the old man's gourd at this time, and his eyes and face couldn't reveal anything, so he could only answer truthfully: "Because I don't want to influence your choice, you have your own considerations. and decision, which I should respect."

    Hearing this, the old man lowered his head, as if thinking about something, his expression was dark and he couldn't see clearly.

    Just when Xing Conglian wanted to add something, he suddenly raised his head, pointed at him with his thumb, and said to the public opinion expert, "Have you heard?"

    Including the expert himself and Xing Conglian, they were a little confused.

    "What do you... mean?"

    "We usually shout to respect the people, but at the critical moment, you will fall off the chain, Xiao Chen, you still can't organize your consciousness." The old man sighed and said lightly.

    The strategist suddenly looked at the old man, panicked by the various meanings revealed in this sentence: "You... mean..."

    "Although the world is noisy, it's still very quiet in the middle of the night, and people are quiet in the middle of the night. The word itself is so beautiful. Then we people, don't have to make our foolish opinions known to the world, be quiet and quiet. Wouldn't it be interesting to just let everyone think for themselves?"

    After the old man said this, he went to the window with his hands up.

    Xing Conglian followed his line of sight and saw that the starry sky was vast, peaceful and magnificent.

    In the room, no one spoke anymore.

    ...

    Zhai Yong's work and rest is not good.

    People like them are bound to come out day and night, after all, late night is the time when the thoughts are like a spring

    It was after three o'clock in the morning that he read the comments on Weibo, analyzed and sorted out all the opinions, made notes, and prepared to choose the key points to refute tomorrow.

    Unlike those who talk with money, what he publishes is his own opinion and is never at the mercy of others.

    It's too late or too early, and the people who are still exchanging ideas online are probably jet-lagged students. Zhai Yong thinks these people are very interesting, and they are often his most solid allies and the most difficult enemies to overcome.

    For example, this comment that has now been topped as the most popular reply said so.

    ——Mr. Zhai has always advocated democracy. Is one person, one vote not enough democracy? But when democracy really appeared, you actually started to hate why your government didn't use tyranny to save you. You probably never thought that the mechanism you despised is working every day, from the teacher who teaches your son to the high-level people who make political decisions. The existence of these people is essentially sharing this or that social responsibility for you. , now it's just a matter of returning some of the responsibilities and returning to a more modest show of hands, and you're scared? so cowardly...

    When Zhai Yong first saw this comment, of course he was very angry.

    This comment of course misrepresented what he meant, and even the meaning of what he had been working to say.

    No matter what kind of social mechanism it is, people like him are required to say some unpleasant words, and the false Haiyan Heqing has no meaning.

    This is why he wants to speak today, because in the whole process of the development of the incident, what he saw was the incompetence of the government without any guidance. His speech was the social responsibility he assumed, and Mao had not yet grown up. What does the little brat know.

    Zhai Yong thought so, and clicked on the picture attached to this comment.

    That's the official government voting website.

    - I will vote for the execution of four criminals who were not previously sentenced to death in order to save more people.

    A. Yes

    B. No

    The speaker, chose "yes".

    Zhai Yongjiu was speechless for a long time. He pushed on the keyboard tray and prepared to go out to pour a glass of water.

    The thin-soled home slippers rubbed softly on the floor, he opened the door of the study, and unexpectedly found someone sitting outside.

    "Dad, did you get up early or didn't you sleep?"

    His old father was sitting on the leather sofa in the living room. The TV was turned on, but the volume was not turned on. The changing light made his old face especially gloomy and uncertain.

    His dad just watched TV and didn't answer him right away. So he took an empty water glass and sat down beside the old man. No one was doing a live show so late, and the TV was replaying the daytime news.

    That was the situation when an accident occurred in the clothing market in Meicun City. A large number of ambulances arrived, and the blood-covered customers or shop owners helped each other and crawled out, while the ambulance personnel moved in the opposite direction. The two groups of people flowed in stark contrast.

    "I'm going to see your Uncle Su today." Before his dad started talking, he put on the glasses on the coffee table again, not really to see things clearly, but to cover up his true expression.

    "Principal Su?"

    "Who else could it be."

    When Zhai Yong really listened to his mother's chatter, he mentioned some things that Uncle Su wanted to do.

    But at the age of his parents, there are always old friends who are going to die from time to time, and he is used to listening to them a lot, so at this moment, he also associates the title of Uncle Su with the old principal of Yongchuan University.

    "The news does not say that due to the timely discovery, the large-scale adverse drug reactions of Naokangning have not completely erupted, but that the elderly who take the drugs have hidden dangers in drug safety..."

    Zhai Yong's mind moved quickly, and he seemed to finally realize what was the key to the relationship between the characters that he had been vaguely aware of but hadn't really figured out.

    "Obviously, his good student has always caused him a lot of trouble. This time he was probably implicated. Xiaocui said that he was fine until he went to school." There was a vagueness in the old man's tone. Not out of anger, but more of a kind of sadness.

    "Lin Chen is Principal Su's student?" Zhai Yong's mind moved very fast, "So he proposed a new plan, really for Principal Su..."

    "Who knows what his good student is thinking." His father interrupted him coldly, "According to Lin Chen's usual thinking, he wouldn't put his teacher's life or death into consideration for this kind of thing."

    "Dad, don't go around in circles, what do you want to say?"

    "Delete that article of yours," his father said simply turning his head to look at him.

    He looked at his father in disbelief, probably the first time his father had asked him since he was an independent writer and since the media industry. And he knew it wasn't a request, it was a request.

    "Our old buddies have already contacted a lot of friends at night, and tomorrow morning, the media trend will change." His father stood up, as if to explain a less important matter, "If possible, call for more People, vote yes."

    The old man picked up the remote control panel and decisively turned off the TV. Zhai Yong was speechless.

    He pressed down completely in the living room, his father was walking away slowly, looking at the old man's back, Zhai Yong shouted, "Dad!"

    "Call my dad and do as I say."

    Zhai Yong stood up: "Do you really think that as long as the majority votes in favor, this society can exchange four undeserved lives for more people's chances of life?"

    "Don't tell me about society. Isn't this the democracy you preach every day, and I didn't teach you your legal knowledge?"

    "Dad, this is not democracy, this is lynching, no, it's worse than lynching!"

    "Then tell me, what is democracy?" The old head resumed his terrifying aura when he was a lawyer, and said, "Democracy is a minority subject to the majority within a certain class range!"

    "You have evaded the most important question, is it legal to use a vote to bypass the legal provisions to execute criminals? This time is not a national vote, but only the public opinion of three provinces, even if our three provinces are independent states, they are not eligible Bypassing the legal provisions and directly deciding the fate of criminals by voting, this format is inherently wrong, so I believe that not voting is the correct statement!"

    The old man turned to look at him, his eyes were splitting, which made Zhai Yong think that the slap he had when he was a child would be slapped at the next moment.

    He closed his eyes subconsciously, but the pain in his cheek was too late.

    When he opened his eyes again, his old father had turned around, looking at the thick night outside the window, without saying a word.

    "Everyone is selfish," his father said. "Hasn't the law since ancient times sacrificed the minority for the benefit of the majority?"

    However, Zhai Yong walked to the window and lowered his head. In the dark room of the tall building, he could see the faint outline of the city in the night.

    "I suddenly feel that this is a really good method." Some corners of the city are still lit, but most places are dark, "You have your opinion, I have my insistence, but we, only Representing ourselves." He looked at his father and said, "No matter what the outcome is, you will respect the opinion of the majority, right?"
