Outside the villa, there were two Audi A8s, with license plates that were quite similar.
Zhizhong was seated in the one at the back, in the rear seat, very comfortable.
He understood clearly that errand runners used this type of luxury car, so the person he was about to meet must be really impressive!
So, it definitely wouldn't be someone from the Pang Family brothers then?
What surprised him even more was that Glasses was driving himself, with one of his subordinates in the front passenger seat.
Without thinking, Zhizhong said, "Friend, you look like a leader, so why are you driving yourself?"
Glasses stayed silent for a while, finally speaking as they turned a corner, "Doesn't this show how important you are, and how much Brother Xuan values you?"
"Brother Xuan?" Zhizhong was startled, then suddenly realized, "Oh, so the person I'm meeting is called Brother Xuan?"
Glasses nodded his head and stopped talking, focusing on driving, following the car ahead that was occupied by four of his men.
The scent inside the car was very pleasant, a faint aroma of orchids. But it was very quiet, nearly inaudible to the outside noise.
With such sound insulation, one could tell the car was a customized version.
This only made Brother Xuan seem even more formidable!
Zhizhong could only sit in silence, not bothering to ask further questions. Follow current novᴇls on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
He occasionally glanced at the Provincial City scenery outside the window, which was... not good.
Yes, not very good. Provincial City had concentrated resources from the entire province and grown into a metropolis with a population surpassing 15 million people.
Such urban development was enormous, but so was the pollution. Today was a sunny day, but the haze still loomed, and the air quality was poor.
Zhizhong looked at the central control LCD screen in front of him, which displayed real-time PM2.5 levels: inside it was truly nice, with excellent air quality; outside, severe pollution!
Of course, the villa area arranged by Feng Xiaoyue for him did indeed have better air quality, given its location in the suburbs near a scenic area.
In such a country, good living quality could only be enjoyed after spending a great deal of money. Even the air was unequal!
Thinking of this, Zhizhong couldn't help but sigh.
Glasses stiffened his neck slightly and asked from the front, "What are you sighing about?"
Before he could finish, Glasses glanced at Zhizhong through the rearview mirror.
That look was exceptionally piercing.
Any ordinary person would probably jump subconsciously.
But Zhizhong smiled faintly and said, "I'm literally sighing about the air, the air quality of Provincial City, sigh..."
Glasses actually said, "Hard to encapsulate in a few words, right?"
Zhizhong nodded, "Exactly. The city has exploded in growth, with unreasonable planning and air pollution that's treated only superficially. A city this populous offers countless opportunities to many but fails to provide equal living conditions. If it weren't for making a living, like them..."
As he spoke, Zhizhong pointed to the workers moving furniture at the roadside, then continued, "Why would they stay here toiling instead of in their hometowns or small cities, where natural scenery abounds, and education, healthcare, job opportunities, and elderly care aren't a worry?"
Glasses gave a cold chuckle, "There aren't many officials who think like you."
"Heh..." Zhizhong could only shake his head and smile, "A person of little influence, whose ideas are just that, ideas, alas..."
Glasses looked at him again through the rearview mirror, his gaze had softened considerably, but he said no more.
The Audi A8 cruised down the streets, passing through haze after haze, street after street, heading north.
Half an hour later, the car passed the Northern Fourth Ring and entered a hilly area, where the air finally started to clear.
Outside the window, Zhizhong noticed the absence of the hazy feel of the main urban area, truly improving his mood.
"Are we... going from the Southern Suburb to the Northern Suburb now?"
Zhizhong was just making casual conversation.
To which Glasses coldly replied, "No shit!"
Zhizhong fell silent...
