Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.
Chapter 107 Impoverished County Town
The Donghua County Guesthouse, located opposite the county government on the street, is a government-run institution. The two-story guesthouse is one of the few relatively well-organized buildings in Donghua County.
Rooms 201-205 are single rooms; Zhou Hong's temporary dormitory was room 205.
201-204, the residence of Tawan and the staff of the working group.
The guesthouse also houses the county's only ballroom.
At this moment, Zhou Hong sat idly at a small table outside the dance floor, drinking tea.
In the evening, Hong Fa, the magistrate of Donghua County, hosted a banquet for the guests from Xiang Kingdom and delivered a welcoming speech.
After the welcoming banquet, the county magistrate, in high spirits, suggested dancing to enhance everyone's friendship.
The dancers were all female staff members of the guesthouse, ranging from pretty young girls to elegant young women. They were all exceptionally beautiful, as the requirements for working as a waitress at the county government guesthouse were strict, and they were all selected from the most beautiful women in the county.
It's clear that County Chief Hongfa's banquet was just a formality, and he didn't really care about the guests from Xiangguo. However, it gave him a legitimate excuse to dance ballroom dances.
Hmm? Zhou Hong noticed another small table with a lone figure sitting there, so he got up and walked over.
Director Ximing was also slowly sipping his tea.
"Ridiculous, isn't it?" For the first time, Director Ximing's dignified face revealed a hint of mockery in front of Zhou Hong.
"You, a big boss who doesn't know how much money you have, are here begging for alms. Your thinking is so rigid. We're waiting for you to take the initiative to get close to us!" Director Ximing curled his lips, his gaze glancing sideways at County Magistrate Hongfa, who was dancing enthusiastically with a pretty young woman in the center of the dance floor.
Zhou Hong smiled but didn't say anything.
The military and police in Xiangguo are a separate entity. The police force is under the leadership of the military. Director Ximing is essentially an officer, a member of the border defense military region, and also the first political commissar of the main border defense regiment in the Golden Triangle region.
Therefore, Director Ximing and County Magistrate Hongfa are completely different people, not subordinate to each other, and it seems that their relationship is not very good.
"Sir, may I have this dance?" The chubby man who swayed over to Director Zhou Hong and Director Xi Ming's desk was from the Provincial Public Security Bureau. He seemed to be some kind of director, a major. He looked quite drunk, as he was swaying and unsteady on his feet. He also seemed to enjoy dancing.
"I've heard about you before, boss. I...I..." The fat director looked like he was about to blurt out something like, "I used to admire you a lot."
At the dinner table, this chubby director had been very attentive in toasting Director Ximing.
Director Ximing, in his thirties, has been a colonel for three years. The fat director, in his forties, has just been promoted to major. The maximum age for military service in Laos is 50, which means that Section Chief Yang is destined to retire at 50. It is impossible for him to advance from lieutenant colonel to colonel and then to brigadier general in just a few years. He cannot meet the basic requirements for the service years of military officers at the corresponding stage.
As for Director Ximing, if it weren't for the unexpected incident, he would have been destined to become a general.
Although Director Ximing comes from a privileged background, many things changed after her grandfather passed away last year, making her situation quite delicate.
At this moment, Director Ximing's face was particularly grim. To her, wasn't this a kind of humiliation?
"Director, come on, I'll dance with you!" Zhou Hong stood up.
"Huh?" The fat director was stunned.
Zhou Hong had already walked over and pulled him onto the dance floor. He couldn't struggle at all. To others, it looked like he was cooperating and the two men were just being silly.
Zhou Hong danced the male steps, while the fat director was forced to dance the female steps. After being spun around a few times, the dizzying, floating feeling was quite nice. He was actually led by Zhou Hong to cooperate and dance the waltz. Zhou Hong's steps were extremely gorgeous, turning the fat director into a spinning top, which looked like a unique kind of beauty.
At first, everyone found it funny, but then they all started clapping, and the two of them were the only ones left on the dance floor.
"Ugh..." Just as the fat director opened his mouth to vomit, Zhou Hong spun him off the stage and quickly helped him to the restroom.
When Zhou Hong returned to Director Ximing's desk, not a single drop of the fat director's vomit had splashed on him. The fat director, on the other hand, had been taken back to his dormitory to rest.
"Thank you for getting me out of that situation, but why didn't you invite me to dance, instead of choosing a difficult one?" Director Ximing rarely showed Zhou Hong a bit of kindness.
"Invite you to dance? I dare not..." Zhou Hong coughed.
"Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do? Hmph..." Director Ximing pursed his lips and said nothing more.
……
In Donghua County, the central area of the administrative region has relatively sufficient power supply, while power outages are common in other areas.
Cell phone signal is only available in the county town, so forget about internet access. However, Yinmian Town has internet from a national supplier, and there are also small internet cafes in Huixi, the provincial capital.
In his single room at the guesthouse, Zhou Hong lay on the hard bed, pondering some things.
"Boss, I haven't seen you reply to the emails that need your attention today?!" Around midnight, Ayamiya Tachibana called.
"I'm in a county in Laos. There's no internet here. I'll go back to Silver Tribe tomorrow to deal with this. That's all for now. I'll take a look and head back to Silver Tribe early tomorrow."
"Okay..." Ayamichi Tachibana wanted to hang up, but couldn't help asking, "Boss, are you short on cash lately? How about I sponsor you? It's something that can be solved with a few tens of thousands of dollars..."
Zhou Hong was taken aback, not understanding what "Sister with extra money" meant. "What?"
"I'll install satellite internet for you, including the satellite dish and dedicated modem. If you were to install a standard system, it would only cost around $20,000 to $30,000, with a monthly fee of a few hundred dollars. I can pay that for you upfront?"
Zhou Hong was speechless. Yes, satellite networks, but he had no idea about them. No matter how much money he had, he was still a small-farmer at heart.
However, Sister Jiaqian has gotten a bit cocky lately. Well, with an annual salary of $60 and a commission of $200 million from a single deal, she's really doing well for herself. Yet, she's even considering taking money out of her own pocket to lend to herself, which is normally impossible.
"Oh, I didn't think I'd be staying for more than a few days..." Zhou Hong didn't finish his sentence, as this didn't align with his spending habits towards Jiaqian Jie. He coughed and said, "Could you contact them for me? I'll file a report with the police first thing tomorrow morning."
For Lao citizens, even if you are a county magistrate, it is naturally difficult to get approval. But for foreign institutions and companies, including myself, even if I don't know Director Ximing, I should be able to get approval through the normal process without much trouble. It's just that it certainly won't be approved instantly.
……
The next morning, the relevant equipment and technicians arrived at the Garden Ferry.
With Director Ximing's approval, the personnel and equipment were quickly transferred to Donggua County. By the afternoon, a small radar-like satellite antenna appeared on the roof of the guesthouse.
Ayamichi Tachibana helped Zhou Hong apply for a very high bandwidth, a customized enterprise service, which is quite extravagant due to the use of a satellite antenna.
The monthly rental fee is as high as $3, with a bandwidth of 10 Mbps and a contract period of 3 years. Only with such a fee will their technicians provide cross-border on-site service. Otherwise, renting for only one month would be pure nonsense, wouldn't it? The other party won't make much money from the equipment.
Operating his brand-new laptop, Zhou Hong nodded in satisfaction. Satellite networks are rarely used these days, so the bandwidth is not occupied. It is said to be 10 Mbps, and it really is 10 Mbps all the time. The speed is probably even better than the network in Villa No. 1.
However, it consumes charitable funds because it helps with local charitable work.
On the contrary, the public funds, starting from the white-collar stage, were US$160 million + US$320 million + US$640 million, totaling tens of millions of US dollars, and have basically remained unchanged.
Putting aside everything else, the number of people being rescued here is increasing really fast, and it's about to reach the milestone of 1000 people.
The provincial procuratorate had just awarded him a commendation, all of which were crucial in determining whether he would ultimately pass the assessment for becoming a formal prosecutor.
In reality, thanks to the teacher's embellishment, his story of going deep into impoverished mountain villages in Laos to provide legal support to his country's staff has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.
