Storm, Professionalism, Aftermath - This Chapter Was Sponsored by Shen Ming, Extra Chapter 28

] At 8:30 in the evening, an unnamed ordinary citizen, let's call him Citizen Mr., dragged his tired body open the door and returned home.

The small room has made it difficult for him to have the courage to rely on his own abilities to change his current situation like he did when he was young, and he has begun to become numb.

"Back?" The citizen's wife was busy in the kitchen. The smell that slightly made people want to vomit made Citizen Mr. have no energy to answer. He just responded with "hmm" and then sat on the shabby sofa.

The sofa sank in a small area, and one of the springs inside broke, which quickly affected the other springs, and eventually it became an unwelcome place where only Citizen Mr.'s wife or their not-too-heavy children would sit.

This time, after the City Hall redistributed Food Stamps, people discovered some problems. It was difficult for them to exchange for solid food from the relief points. The hard, stone-like food that they complained about in the past has all been replaced by liquid food.

It looks like something has just pooped out. It is packed in some tubes. Every time you eat it, it is very simple. Just put the whole tube in hot water and soak it for a while.

Then squeeze it out of the tube like shit, onto a plate, and eat it.

Many people are not used to this new food, but City Hall says that there are currently too many unemployed people, and too many people are affected by unemployment. City Hall's finances are very tight, and they cannot spend so much money to keep everyone fed and well fed.

Of course, if they use two or three Food Stamps, they can exchange it for the same solid food as before, but this is obviously not cost-effective.

In this case, people quickly figured out how to make these foods look a little easier to eat.

Women in the family would squeeze it onto a baking sheet, then brush it with oil on the bottom of a cup and press it, which would turn the poop cakes into round biscuit-like discs.

Put it in the oven for a while, and after the water evaporates, a solid food like a biscuit is left.

This solves the taste problem very well. Next, they only need some worthless potatoes, tomatoes or some green vegetables and a small handful of Wheat Flour to make some thick soup, and they can handle lunch or dinner very well.

The family sat under the dim light, absentmindedly eating the not-so-delicious dinner.

Citizen Mr.'s wife couldn't help but ask, "How was the situation today?" She may just feel that everyone staying silent when the family is eating together will make the atmosphere very heavy. She can swear that she just doesn't like this silence, rather than deliberately trying to irritate her husband.

Citizen Mr. The frustration he suffered during this period broke out again at this moment. He had broken out several times before. He stood up suddenly and looked angrily at the stupid woman who challenged his status and dignity.

I don't know if the gaze of his son sitting nearby had some effect. Citizen Mr. didn't follow any further this time. He just said "lose your appetite" and left the restaurant, then walked into Living Room.

He turned on the TV. Perhaps watching TV now was one of the few pleasures he and his family had.

Fortunately, urban cable TV companies have waived the service fees that people must pay during this period - TVs and phones do not actually need to be purchased. These are gifts, but the prerequisite is that users must subscribe to the services of these service providers for a certain period of time at one time before they will give these things to people.

Some are for three years, and some are for five years. For ordinary families, they only need to pay a monthly TV signal access service fee, and they can get a TV for free. This is a huge profit, and many people have participated.

However, the situation with telephones is different, because communication fees are real-time. In addition to paying the most basic fees for using communication lines, they also need to ensure the lowest monthly usage fee, which is a big expense.

Most families do not need telephones for work and life, so not many people install them. But TV is different. Everyone likes to watch TV, and under the current circumstances, they cannot do without TV.

Just when Citizen Mr. was about to watch a sports program, what he didn't expect was that the program was canceled and replaced with another game. He was cursing something. At this damn time, nothing was going as planned.

He spent a day looking for a job outside, begging those younger than him in a lowly manner, but he still couldn't get a job.

He feels like a dog that can be kicked by anyone. Now he has to be laughed at by his wife when he returns home. Now even watching TV cannot satisfy him.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and a violent and destructive emotion began to quietly emerge from the depths of his heart, and it grew rapidly without his knowledge.

His eyes began to become congested due to increased blood pressure, and he had a desire to pick up the knife in the kitchen and make all those who made him unhappy regret their coming into this world.

But at this moment, there was a brief pause in his strong and exciting emotions, and then his attention was focused on the TV screen.

Those young girls wearing more revealing clothes than his wife were running on the TV screen and running on the grass. Looking at the turbulent scene, his emotions suddenly began to calm down quickly.

The emotions of destruction can only be withdrawn into the bottom of my heart unwillingly, waiting for the next opportunity.

The young bodies on TV made Citizen Mr. vaguely feel the delicate and smooth touch and the refreshing fragrance even through the TV.

His attention became more focused, and he would laugh and make some professional jokes when the girls bumped into each other.

Most of the time, his eyes are focused on the ball. Although he has not engaged in any work related to sports, he is definitely professional when it comes to watching football.

When the citizens' wives and children walked into Living Room, they thought it would be a depressing cemetery-like atmosphere, or a volcano about to erupt.

But what they didn't expect was that Citizen Mr. actually had a smile on his face.

"This kind of competition is really..." Citizen Mr., who suddenly came back to his senses from the competition, found his wife and children standing aside. He immediately felt a little blushing. He wanted to find some excuse to explain why he was looking at those girls with all his attention. "It's really too vulgar, God, they can actually put this kind of program on the free station!"

Free channels are the basic services of TV companies. As long as you pay the most basic fee, you can watch these programs. Some better-looking or restricted programs are on paid channels, where the most exciting programs are available.

Citizen Mr. reached out to change the channel, but was stopped by his wife, "You were very focused just now. Maybe I will also like this kind of program?"

The wife is thankful that there is a program that can calm down her angry husband. She does not want to be scolded or even beaten by her husband for any reason after changing the channel.

If asking him to take a few more glances at these shameless women would make the evening go away, why would she refuse? In this way, under some strange circumstances, the family of three carefully watched this beautiful game, and after turning off the lights at night, their lives became more harmonious.

There are not a few such people and families. The next day there was a huge response in Sabine City society. Many people called the TV company to ask when they could watch the second game and whether this game would be a sporadic exhibition match or a league with rules.

Behind all these inquiries are actually requests for more plays and more new content for this kind of competition! Television Station's leadership immediately held a meeting to find out whether the broadcast of this program was time "bought" by Lin Qi through Mark's relationship.

Yes, he paid to have the game televised, but he obviously won't do it again.

The huge response changed his relationship with Television Station. If Television Station wants to continue to get the broadcast rights of the game from Lin Qi, they must pay.

However, the amount they discussed could not satisfy Lin Qi, so United Sports Association received the news that day - a sport that was not on the United Sports Association's list was born, and it also had good ratings and social support.

Sabine City Television Station wanted to buy the broadcast rights from the United Sports Association, and offered a pretty good price.

Sabine City Television Station and United Sports Association have always had a cooperative relationship. Every year, just the broadcasting fees for various competitions cost about one to two million, or even more.

United Sports Association was surprised when they learned about this incident. They immediately launched an investigation and then sent a negotiation team to talk to Lin Qi.

They want to incorporate the Lin Qi team and competition, and bring this female professional Rugby competition into the jurisdiction of the United Sports Association.

This was foreseen by Lin Qi from the beginning, and this was also his purpose of doing this. He wanted to talk to the people of the United Sports Association about the proportion of broadcast expenses and promotion resources.

In fact, the operation of a club is not much simpler than running a company. Although it is a closed industry, the competitiveness within the industry is actually greater and more cruel than those in open industries.

A capable team can make a living every year just by relying on broadcast fees, and can maintain the size of the club healthily and even make a profit.

But a team that has neither the ability nor the means to earn a share of broadcast fees cannot even maintain its basic scale!
