The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp

The second largest drug trafficking group in the Colorful Turtle Country is entrenched in the Vidigal slums. It has been planning to expand its business and attempt to eliminate the number one drug trafficking group, the Blue Sky Command, and replace it.

This is also the reason why the leader of the Vidigal DU cartel was willing to be interviewed by the TV station. It is said that they have recently purchased a large number of guns and ammunition.

The system made a precise comment: [A drug trafficking group actually named itself the Blue Sky Command. People who didn’t know would think it was a regular national army.]

=====

Xi Mingming was keenly aware of Baroni's hostility.

This hostility is not only directed at her, but more like dissatisfaction with the society... the elite class.

Her work is something that ordinary parents are proud of in China; but in the country of Caigui and in Baroni's eyes, there is a natural class conflict.

Xi Mingming naturally changed the direction of the question: "I heard that your group has added a lot of infrastructure to the communities it governs. Is that true?"

Xi Mingming has not been wandering around these days, she has done a lot of homework.

"Correct."

Baroni is young after all, and he really needs recognition from others and recognition from the drug trafficking group.

"Our chief used the money he earned from the drug business to build three health clinics in the community. He is now helping to develop community tourism and has also built a samba school."

Baroni is full of irony about the area: "The residents of the slums controlled by the police don't have this kind of treatment. The government doesn't spend a penny on them."

Not really, but it is a fact that there is a serious absence of government functions in slums.

During the days Xi Mingming lived there, he clearly felt that the water quality of residents' water was extremely poor, the power grid lines were extremely unstable, and power outages occurred frequently.

There are huge problems with sewage and garbage disposal, which seriously affects residents' travel and lives.

Xi Mingming nodded in approval, "Tourism and samba schools can bring new opportunities to young people. This is a real good thing."

"uh-huh."

This is a group member with a strong sense of independence. No wonder he has reached a high position at such a young age.

Xi Mingming said softly, "Why did you choose to be a DU dealer?"

"What else can you do? Be a cleaner in a hotel? Be a driver for the rich?" Baroni said with a mocking look on his face. "No one wants to have anything to do with people from the slums. If they have a choice, they are not willing to hire people from the slums even for the lowest level of jobs."

Baroni no longer refers to "community" at this time, choosing to use "slum".

He is well aware of how society views them.

"Only those who really have no choice will hire slum dwellers. Because they don't have to abide by the 900 yuan minimum monthly salary, they can only pay half of it."

Most of the low-level jobs in the country belong to the informal economy and are not regulated by the government.

900 yuan in local currency is equivalent to about 1800 yuan in Chinese currency. Half of it, the monthly salary is less than 900 yuan, which is barely enough to guarantee basic living and unrealistic to support a family.

……

Xi Mingming fell into a brief contemplation.

She has always had a deep-rooted hatred for drug dealers. It should be said that all Chinese people hate drug dealers.

Xi Mingming believes that Chinese people should share their differences and there is nothing wrong with hating drug dealers.

But is it really entirely the fault of the slum dwellers in the City of God that they embarked on the path of drug trafficking?

Society as a whole does not give slum dwellers many choices.

They have no access to education, live in a poor environment, and are ignored by the authorities. It is too vague to talk to them about the dangers of drugs.

This is not China.

……

Xi Mingming said with difficulty: "Have you ever thought about doing other jobs?"

Baroni was silent for a long time, and then he said: "I once dreamed of becoming a football player."

Baroni took a deep breath and looked at Xi Mingming. This foreign correspondent of a great country did not laugh at him at this time, but instead looked serious.

He suddenly felt like continuing.

Maybe today you can say those things that you cannot say to your companions.

"There is no football field in the Vidigal slum. My friends and I can't afford football shoes. There is no coach willing to enter the slum to teach young people."

"We could only play football on the streets and practice barefoot in limited open spaces."

Xi Mingming listened carefully and agreed naturally.

She saw that the houses here were crowded, with nearly 20 residents crammed onto a hillside.

Baroni continued, "My father was also a DU dealer. He died when I was 5 years old. He was shot. We were all the same. We were either arrested and imprisoned or killed by guns."

Baroni has some regrets. “It was hard to get enough food when I was young, which led to my short height. Compared with normal football players, I was not strong enough.”

Baroni is a little over 1.7 meters tall and thin. Unless he is an extremely talented person, it would be difficult for him to become a football player.

"I tried to recruit myself to various teams from the age of 15 to 18. I saved up money for the trip and tried 19 times."

Yes, how can there be so many top geniuses in this world?

Xi Mingming thought: Only when ordinary people like her, Baroni and Benny have a way out can society be stable.

"Are you scared?"

Are you scared of living a life where you don’t know what will happen tomorrow?

People around you keep disappearing, from your parents to your peers. Can you sleep well if you don’t live to be 35?

"There's no point being afraid. Who would want to kill someone? We are just protecting our own interests. I am a soldier of the group."

Baroni doesn't care, and has an indifference to life. "We don't think about tomorrow. Living in the present is the most important thing."

======

Xi Mingming returned to her residence and sorted out the filming materials. She was not in a hurry to submit the materials shot at the DU dealer factory to the station.

"We have to wait a little longer. There's no rush."

She goes out on time every day, attends social events, and reports international news throughout the city.

As the days passed, Xi Mingming spent the Spring Festival in a busy manner.

……

Because of the Chinese New Year, she began to frequently come into contact with local government officials and reported at many news sites. She also guest-starred as a news anchor on the local GBC TV station more than once, with her main responsibility being to show the current China to local audiences.

After the Spring Festival, preparations for the local "Carnival" are in full swing.

This year's "Carnival" is held on March 3th.

By then, a large-scale samba parade and competition will be held across the country, with more than one million local people and tourists from all over the world participating.

The City of God is the birthplace of Carnival. The number of samba performers participating in the parade and the gorgeous costumes are the largest in the world.

"Carnival" has evolved into a large stage for showcasing music, dance, different cultural themes, costumes and float designs, and has become a cultural feast that combines artistry, watchability and mass entertainment.

It is the world-renowned cultural business card of the Colorful Turtle Country.

……

Xi Mingming went to report on the security work of the "Carnival". In this city, safety is always the most important concern for tourists.

The CCTV hopes that Xi Mingming will give necessary warnings to Chinese citizens who want to participate in the "Carnival".

Xi Mingming and the local photographer she hired ran around for a whole day, and after finishing their work, local officials invited her to dinner.

Xi Mingming went there happily, as she wanted to know the most realistic security situation from the other party.

……

When the other party learned that Xi Mingming lived in the Vidigal slums, he completely lost control of his facial expression.

"It's very dangerous, move out quickly." The man opposite kindly reminded Xi Mingming.

Xi Mingming: “???”

You are a senior government official, and you are warning foreign friends that it is dangerous in your territory?

Xi Mingming looked at the middle-aged man. Yes, the person who said this was Rafar, the director of the Security Department of the City of God.

His position level is equivalent to that of Ma Zhenjun, the director of a department in China.

An hour ago, Director Rafar, holding the microphone handed to him by Xi Mingming, spoke to the camera about the city's security measures and how to further reassure tourists from all over the world.

For a moment, Xi Mingming felt that this world was magical.

……

When the DU lords came to China, Director Ma personally directed the investigation and jointly investigated the case in many places, and captured them in one fell swoop. They also followed the clues and completely defeated the DU trafficking group in other countries.

Because drug trafficking gangs have caused many personal injury incidents to Chinese citizens in the Lancang River Basin.

Now the Director of the Caigui National Security Department reminded Xi Mingming that the slum where she settled was very dangerous.

……

"Yes, yes, very soon."

What could Xi Mingming do? She was also desperate.

You can't say that she is now very familiar with DU dealers?
