Chapter 043 Full of loopholes
As the capital city of Guixi Province, Daning City naturally became the center of politics, economy and culture in Guixi Province, and played an important role in Guixi Province.
Wu Di had been here for three years and was quite familiar with the situation in the city. After he left the long-distance bus station, he took a taxi directly to Fenghuangling.
The Provincial Earthquake Bureau is located at the foot of Fenghuang Ridge, where Wu Di’s classmate Cheng Gong works.
At present, the most important thing before Wu Di is to report the earthquake prediction on December 12 first. With the official basis, he will be more confident when he talks about this matter with Ling Huaqiang.
At the entrance of the Earthquake Bureau, Cheng Gong greeted Wu Di.
"Wu Di, I haven't seen you refreshed for a few months." Cheng Gong laughed and grabbed Wu Di's arm.
When they were in school, they lived in the same dormitory and had a good personal relationship. After graduation, Cheng Gong's family entrusted him to the Earthquake Bureau. Although he was idle every day, he grew hair, but this was also an unbreakable iron rice bowl. Wu Di had contacted Cheng Gong until he went bankrupt in his previous life, and he was considered a good friend.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and invite me to dinner. Get on the bus at around 4 a.m., and there is traffic jam on the road. I have only arrived here now and I have no food in my stomach." Wu Di pushed Cheng Gong away, looked around and touched the hotel.
"Haha, it's still that little bit of a promise." Cheng Gong smiled and led Wu Di to a direction outside the door of the Earthquake Bureau: "Why, do you plan to live here forever this time?"
Cheng Gong saw a small luggage in Wu Di's hand.
"No, I want to go to the capital to do something, I have to stay for a few days, and I brought a few changes of clothes." Wu Di said with a smile.
"Oh? What are you doing now? Doing business in a textile factory?" Cheng Gong knew that Wu Di worked in a textile factory, so he naturally thought that Wu Di went to the capital this time as a business trip, so Wu Di's name was a salesperson.
"Private affairs, I've quit." Wu Di had already seen the hotel sign and his pace has accelerated a lot.
I was so hungry. I thought I could get to Daning in eight or nine hours, but I didn’t expect that I would have walked for more than ten hours. Now it was almost dark. Wu Di planned to meet Cheng Gong, talk about the matter, and then immediately contact Mr. Huang, but he didn’t expect that all the time was delayed on the road. In Wu Di’s memory, the expressway from Daning to Nanhai City was only two thousand years later. After the expressway was completed, it only took more than five hours to travel from Nanhai City to Daning, and it was not delayed to do anything. Now, the whole day was wasted on the road.
After the two of them sat in the hotel, Cheng Gong asked about Wu Di's resignation. Of course, the most asked about Wu Di's future plans.
After eating voraciously, the table immediately became a mess. Wu Di then comfortably wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Okay, I feel at ease when I'm full."
Cheng Gong laughed: "You guy is like you haven't had a meal for three days. Tell me, what's the matter with me? But let's agree first, you can borrow no more than one thousand to give it to you, and there are more than five thousand notes."
Wu Di laughed haha: "You are not much better than me in this little bit of success."
Wu Di knew that Cheng Gong had not been working for a long time like himself, and a month was a few hundred yuan dead salary. Now he could open his mouth and report a "big number" of 5,000 yuan. This is probably the limit he can get now.
"Hehe, each other." Cheng Gong smiled and poured Wu Di a glass of beer. After watching Wu Di eat for the past half day, most of the two bottles of beer fell into Cheng Gong's stomach.
Wu Di took a sip of wine, looked at Cheng Gong and said, "Don't think about it, it's not a matter of money. If I traveled to the provincial capital far away to borrow a few thousand dollars, then I might as well find a piece of tofu and hit him to death."
"What's that?" Cheng Gong laughed.
Wu Di thought about how to justify himself along the way, and now he naturally said it: "Do you still remember Maershan, our county?"
"Remember, wasn't you fooled me last summer vacation? There was nothing surprising." Cheng Gong looked at Wu Di in surprise. The boy said he had something to do with him, but why did he mention Maoershan again?
"Some time ago, I went there with a few high school classmates on an outing and met an old monk who said that a natural disaster would occur in our county before mid-December. At that time, we didn't take it seriously. Who knew that everyone would bet on this matter later. Haha, I bet that there would definitely be a natural disaster, and no one of the boys believed it."
Cheng Gong laughed: "You guys are so painful, what's the point of betting on this?"
Wu Di smiled, this reason was so painful.
"How can you know what's going on here?" Wu Di said seriously: "This can be related to my lifelong happiness."
Wu Di's words are the truth, but unfortunately they become worse when they are related to what they said before.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Gong still looked like a slutty smile.
"Well, do you still remember my former girlfriend?"
"Wait, wait, wait," Cheng Gong reached out and stopped Wu Di: "You used to be a girlfriend, did you break up with that Qin... Qin Xiuyue? Now I've changed another one?"
Wu Di smiled and raised his thumbs up to Cheng Gong: "Look at it clearly. Don't be nonsense, listen to me..."
If Cheng Gong knew that Wu Di was running a train now, he would probably jump up. Boy, you are talking nonsense now, and you told me not to talk nonsense.
Wu Di compiled the story into the story that after he and Qin Xiuyue broke up, he was jealous of another classmate for another girl. Now he was just betting on the matter to lose face to each other, and he said it quite satisfactorily.
After listening to the story made up by Wu Di, Cheng Gongxiao had a glass of wine with Wu Di.
"Wu Di, it turns out that you have a Pig Brother. You said that you are not good at gambling, you bet on natural disasters, and you still bet on it. Have you been caught in the door after graduation? Haha...
Wu Di reached out and patted Cheng Gong's head with a dark face. The story he had made up with such great effort would not be a good thing if this kid was also a joke, but it would be thirty-two lives.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Gong covered his head and looked at Wu Di and asked. He had not figured out what the story Wu Di made up had to do with him, and he ran over from Qiushun with a gaze.
"Natural disasters are not unpredictable. The old monk did not speak nonsense. According to him, the birds, insects and fish on the mountain were all moving." Wu Di had no choice but to lift the false old monk out again and also put out his limited knowledge of earthquake precursors.
"The flying birds, insects and fish are moving abnormally? What the old monk means is that an earthquake will occur?" Cheng Gong asked.
"Nonsense, why did I come to you for an earthquake? I bet with my classmates, and I also look for you to pay attention to the movement of the sectors in our place and see if you can use scientific data to confirm the old monk's words. If they can confirm each other, isn't it a success for you to predict it?"
"There are abnormal movements of birds, insects and fish, so the earthquake level should not be lower than 5?" Cheng Gong also looked at it.
Wu Di grinned, and it turned out that there were so many statements here. No matter what, it would be better if you estimate the earthquake magnitude higher than the other person. It would be easier to talk to your father-in-law. It would be better if your Earthquake Bureau issued an earthquake alert to Qiushun County again, which would be more convincing.
Just as Wu Di was about to continue inciting the storm, Cheng Gong suddenly reached out to stop him: "Wait first, I think about it, this matter is strange."
A black line floated on Wu Di's forehead. Boss, this is a matter of life. What's more strange? You quickly take your instruments to Qiushun County and poke them everywhere. I don't believe that the earthquake is less than a month away, and you can't detect any abnormality.
Cheng Gong played with the wine glass on the dining table, and his eyebrows tightly twisted together.
Wu Di knew Cheng Gong's personality. If he became serious about something, he would not give up without understanding it.
"By the way," Cheng Gong shouted, frightening Wu Di.
"If there are abnormal movements in birds, insects and fish, it means that the earthquake period is approaching, or there is a slight earthquake. Only then will the small animals react. How could that old monk say that the earthquake will occur before mid-December? You should know that it is only mid-November, and there is still one month before mid-December. It is impossible for the small animals to react so long in advance. Also, why can the old monk predict the time of the earthquake so accurately? Before mid-December, it is just a specific day, and what is his basis?"
Wu Di gritted his teeth and wanted to pounce on Cheng Gong's neck. What are you really doing when you look for it like this? I said that if an earthquake occurs, it will definitely happen. You can monitor it for me quickly.
[Thank you for your rebirth, the two friends who gave me rewards again at midnight, and those who silently supported Lao Zui. So, I won’t say anything anymore. Lao Zui can only repay everyone with quality and quantity updates. Also, I would like to remind my friends at midnight, I looked at your reward time, both times in the second half of the night, so, this is not good. Didn’t the great leader educate us that the body is the capital of revolution. If the capital is squandered, how can you support Lao Zui? Haha, just kidding, please rest.]
