Tom, a very common name, so common that people are reluctant to give their children such an ordinary name.
But it is indeed a person's name, and the owner of this name is hiding in an alley.
A military vehicle drove slowly through the street. The people on the military vehicle could not see Tom hiding in the deepest part of the alley. The eyes of the soldier with his hands pressed on the machine gun would only stay on those figures that might appear in the light.
The strike has ended, and the military control has been slightly relaxed and turned into a curfew.
During the eleven hours from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next day, no one is allowed to appear in the street without justified reasons.
Originally, the military meant to issue passes to those who need to go out in the middle of the night, but some people thought that this was a bit like the high-pressure rule implemented by a country without freedom under dictatorship, which hindered the name of the free country of the Baylor Federation, so they cancelled this idea and Practice.
Instead, people who need to go to the streets must provide their social security number and instructions for their presence outside their bedrooms during curfew.
In this way, people are much more free. No one interferes with people's free will. They can appear where they want to appear anytime and anywhere, as long as they can explain the reason.
This is the sweetness of freedom. Long live the free Federation!
The departure of the military car let Tom breathe a sigh of relief. After a while, he didn't hear the sound of leather boots on the ground when soldiers were patrolling, he shuttled between light and shadow again.
His destination this time is Nell's home.
He is Nell's best friend. They have been classmates in the same class since the first grade of primary school. Until not long ago, they were still employees in a factory and lost their jobs together smoothly.
It's not accurate to say unemployment, because it's not unemployment, it's just the kind of factory shutdown for an indefinite period.
At that time, the idea of their foreman was to take a group of people to pull the raw materials in the raw material warehouse to the workshop for direct use, and then sell the finished products one by one to make up for their losses.
In this matter, the two brothers, who have always been good brothers in the same way, had some differences.
Later, Tom and other workers pried open the raw material warehouse of the factory and pulled the raw materials to the workshop for production. The products produced were equally distributed to all workers. They took these products home and disposed of them themselves, but it is said that most of them were disposed of to the Star Trading Company.
Although it is said that the auction will not operate normally during the general strike, the acquisition has never been a problem. Of course, people can recycle goods in accordance with the rules and regulations. The main reason is that there are armed security guards in the recycling place for protection. From their professional level, it should not be false.
Everyone thought that there would be no follow-up results. During the general strike, the factory owner did not do anything to them. Unexpectedly, just after the general strike, their boss took all of them to court and asked them for compensation, with a total amount of more than 3 million.
Police and soldiers have begun to arrest them, a new batch of police have been in place, and they are more efficient than those before.
In the past, those policemen thought they could come to work after the strike, but they ignored that they were not the only choice, which gave the Veterans' office an opportunity.
A large number of veterans filled the missing posts in Saibin district police station and all branches. As for the police who had planned to come back after the strike, they had no place.
In this case, it is almost impossible to expect to escape the legal sanctions. After Tom narrowly avoided an arrest, he plans to ask Nell for help. He heard that Nell seems to be doing well now and has a title of manager. Maybe he can help himself.
In fact, when all the compensation is apportioned to everyone's head, it's not so much. It's only 10000 or 20000 yuan!
After dodging several patrols, Tom finally came to Nell's house. He knocked on the door. Soon there was a sound of people moving in the room.
I don't know if the city is quiet like a graveyard without any noise. Tom outside the door even heard the sound of some mechanical spring being pulled and the sound of guns coming from the room.
At the same time, Nell's alert voice came from the room, "there's no money here, and we don't want trouble..."
There were countless crimes during the general strike, just because people's attention was attracted by the striking employers and employees. They did not notice that during this period, at least hundreds of families were invaded, some women were humiliated, and some people were even killed by burglars.
People don't notice, because these have nothing to do with their vital interests. They can only see what is related to them.
The knock at the door in the middle of the night made Nell highly nervous. His answer was very similar to the most common answer of people in this class. You can't rob anything here. Even he euphemistically expressed that he recognized the counseling attitude no matter what. He didn't want to make trouble.
"It's me, Tom."
The door opened, and the light from the door gave Tom a sigh of relief. He looked at Nell, and suddenly there were thousands of words in his chest. For a moment, people didn't know where to start.
"Are you alone?" Nell looked into the dark corridor behind Tom. The pistol hidden behind him didn't put down, and even his fingers didn't leave the trigger.
Tom nodded, and Nell gave way. At the same time, he put his pistol in his pocket and welcomed Tom in.
After letting Tom in, Nell looked again into the dark corridor. Then he closed the door and locked it so that it could not be opened directly from the outside.
This is a trick that must be mastered when living in such a place. When people come home, people often don't lock the door, which gives some people outside the door an opportunity to take advantage of, but here, Nell won't let those who don't know whether they exist or not get what they want.
After they sat down, Nell poured some wine for Tom. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and there is no heating in the room.
If you don't drink a little, they will soon be frozen from the inside out. That taste is not good.
After they sat down, they didn't say anything immediately. They just sat for a while and drank for a while.
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol that made Tom's expression look ugly. "Give me a hand. Now you are the only one who can help me."
Nell looked at his old friend for decades. He suddenly found that he was not as soft hearted as he used to be, and immediately agreed. This may have something to do with his recent experience.
Since Lynch entrusted him to become the manager of the construction company, during the more than one month working with ASL, he finally realized that some things are not as simple as people think.
At first, he thought that capitalists were evil, but when he also became the "running dog of capitalists", he suddenly found that this matter was not as absolute and simple as he thought before.
Outside the employment center, he felt that everyone was very pitiful. Some people even knelt on the ground with their hands folded like kneeling down to worship the God and begged him that he could give each other a job and let their family get through this difficulty.
He wanted to save many people, but finally found that he couldn't.
Lynch gave him a limited budget. He must finish the work Lynch gave him before these budgets run out. He can't save everyone.
He chose some of the people he thought were the most pitiful, but soon he found himself cheated.
Some people really work hard, but others are always lazy. There is also a guy in his thirties who deliberately hurt his finger. He not only asked not to work, but also asked to pay him the salary equivalent to other man hours, not the minimum salary.
Gradually, he became less angry. He began to be calm and indifferent. He didn't know whether it was a good phenomenon or a bad phenomenon. He just understood that he knew more about the world.
Nell didn't say anything, and Tom didn't react immediately. He just thought what he said was too vague.
"Last time, the boss has called the police and sued us, and I can't accompany the money!"
"He actually asked us to compensate him according to the price of the goods. Even if I still keep those things in my hand, I can't afford to pay so much money. He only wants money!"
The boss they once worked for asked them to compensate the factory for more than three million economic losses. About 80% of the compensation was determined according to the market price of the goods.
In other words, no matter how much the raw materials they steal are worth, they must compensate the factory according to the price of the goods sold in the store.
In fact, the factory owner himself did not expect that he somehow made a lot of money. He was going to go bankrupt and came back to life in a moment.
At the same time, in order to appease the capitalists, the city hall and the judicial department also agreed to sue and crack down on these groups that caused damage in the strike, and the Saibin City Court agreed to the demands of the factory owners.
If these people can't get three million, they will face terrible prison terms.
Tom was now full of remorse. "I should have listened to you, Nell, you have to help me!"
Nell was silent for a moment. "How much is left?"
Tom said something he didn't think was very interesting, "twenty-two thousand dollars..."
This gave Nell a headache. He couldn't help frowning. "How much did you sell those you got?"
"Fifteen hundred dollars..."
The room suddenly quieted down. It took Nell more than ten seconds to make sure his ears heard correctly, "you sold something for tens of thousands of yuan... 1500 yuan?"
He never thought Tom was a fool. Sometimes he would be a little clever, but he hadn't seen him for more than a month. He suddenly felt that Tom was not just stupid!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
