Chapter 447: 447
The large-scale blackout in the area and all types of electronic equipment malfunctioning were acts of God; as Odd Zhuo sped to the scene, he scrolled through online comments which were full of laments .
There was no helping it; the government of Songhai city would have to provide unavoidably large compensation since the people couldn't suffer losses for no reason at all .
But at the same time, Odd Zhuo was very curious to know what on earth had happened that could create such an impact .
Deputy Director Zhong Lang and Odd Zhuo were sitting in the car as the master driver drove them closer and closer to their destination, which was the location Wang Ling had sent earlier . "Brother Zhuo, what's happened this time?"
"Something big . . . You'll know once we get there," Odd Zhuo answered cryptically .
But based on the signs, Odd Zhuo felt that it was most likely "a fight between immortals," and the man whom his shifu had defeated this time was probably a fairly remarkable person .
Zhong Lang pursed his lips . "But logically speaking, this doesn't involve schools or their students . . . aren't we overstepping a boundary if we get involved like this? What if the other departments report us?"
"Don't panic . " Odd Zhuo shook his head and said, "First of all, this incident definitely has an impact on school students . "
Zhong Lang: "???"
Odd Zhuo: "It's almost time for the midterm exams, and the kids have to do their revision but can't, given this widespread blackout! I actually already received a lot of complaints over the phone at the office earlier . As guardians who care about the learning and growth of the young sprouts of the motherland, we should verify what has happened for the sake of these kids!"
Zhong Lang was taken aback . " . . . " He could follow this reasoning – but the point was that he had taken a look at the school forums and message boards just now, and all the children had been cheering . A lot of homework now had to be completed on the computer . What did a large-scale blackout mean?
For a lot of students, their first reaction definitely wasn't regret that they couldn't complete their homework; instead, they rejoiced that they didn't have to hand in their homework the following day!
"As for the complaints you mentioned . . . " Speaking up to this point, Odd Zhuo fell silent .
He knew that the complaints Zhong Lang had brought up definitely existed .
Odd Zhuo's rise in popularity had been meteoric because of his involvement in various major incidents in these two months .
Major newspapers fell over themselves to report news on him and his relevant achievements . There would be an article almost every two days; basically, they never stopped .
Furthermore, Odd Zhuo's position was related to education, which was a field that needed news brimming with positive energy and worthy role models . Nowadays, people scrambled to turn one or two of the better-looking older brothers and sisters in the various frontier defense troops, the army barracks, and the traffic police brigades into headlines or hot search topics, amply motivating citizens to join the army .
In the same way, Secretary Dakang, the top leader in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Schools, thought that the field of education should also have a representative to be promoted and publicized as a spokesperson for education .
And Odd Zhuo was a great frontman . . .
What was more, he was actually pretty good-looking .
Although he couldn't compare with film celebrities, he had a fair face and a scholarly air that was pure, natural and uncontaminated .
In a government organizational structure like theirs, competition in the same field was very fierce, even if you weren't in the same department . When you were in the heart of things, there were always envious people who wanted to drag you down .
But Odd Zhuo had always felt that something like reporting a complaint made sense since it could be considered a form of competitive behavior; it was just a little underhanded .
