Chapter 24: Beauty Trap

If Mu Jiu had not given Gu Yang a heads-up in advance, he, who was full of passion, ambition and hatred at this moment, would definitely have agreed to everyone's recommendation.

“Thank you all uncles for your kindness, fighting back against the Housekeeping Department is too serious.

I am still young and inexperienced, and I am not qualified for this position. Please recommend someone else!"

But others were not going to let him go, especially the initiator of the alliance - Lu Ming.

"How can you not be competent? Gu Yang, you are too modest!

You two brothers and sisters are the only ones who can survive the sharp knife of the Housekeeping Department.

You know, in the past, whenever the housekeepers took action, there would be absolutely no one left alive in the entire villa!

You have moved to Building 048 now, right?

I noticed that the housekeeping department hasn't come to your house to collect protection money in the past two months.

It is obvious that those people are afraid of you and don’t want to offend you!

Doesn't this prove that you are capable of being the chief commander of the alliance? Stop shirking your responsibilities!"

A middle-aged man next to him echoed:

"Yes, yes, I live in Building 049, diagonally opposite their house.

In the past, I thought that the housekeeping department would not go to Villa 050 to knock on the door and disturb us.

Ever since the two siblings moved to Villa 048, the housekeeping department has never come to their house to collect protection fees!

I used to be quite envious, but later I found out that the big guy from Building 050 actually went to Building 048 for dinner every day. Then I understood the reason!

I have to say, kids nowadays are really amazing, being able to be with that girl!

But Gu Yang is indeed a good-looking child, and he is polite and generous in his dealings with others.

Unlike my kid, who stays at home all day and doesn’t dare to go out and say hello to the neighbors next door to make themselves familiar with them!"

As the man spoke, he patted his son on the shoulder, causing the young man to flinch.

Although his son looks relatively clean and handsome, he is far inferior to Gu Yang, who is so handsome that one can ignore his gender.

Although Gu Yang was not very old, he understood the meaning of the uncle's words.

He was mocking him for relying on his masculinity to hook up with the sister next door, so he could stay safe...

He was too lazy to get angry with people. His sister said that these people were old foxes with deep thoughts, so he should not be tricked by them.

He and his sister were indeed hooking up with his elder sister, but it was not because of her beauty.

It’s hard to say why, but my sister started to respond to them. It was after they endured the severe cold and the wounds on their hands, day after day, and brought wild goods from the mountains to my sister without expecting anything in return. Maybe they were sincere enough.

After all, my sister always keeps a safe distance from everyone. After following her for so long, she has never invited them into her villa.

Not to mention anything about liking him...

The way his sister looked at him was clearly as if she were looking at a child, not even as affectionately as looking at a roast chicken or a leg of lamb!

"The uncle lives in Building 049, so close to Building 050. He and my sister have been neighbors for nearly half a year, but he has never even said hello...

It turns out that it’s because your son doesn’t want to! I guess your son must be very good and amazing! "

Everyone present heard the irony in Gu Yang's words. They were unable to get close to the big boss because they didn't want to.

If you fail to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University before the end of the world, it’s probably because you don’t want to, not because you can’t!

He was so jealous that he spread rumors in front of others. While spreading the rumors, he did not forget to praise his own son. He is so shameless.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the uncle and his son in Building 049.

The uncle's face turned red, and his son next to him glared at him and told him to stop talking and embarrass himself.

Gu Yang just wanted to get rid of the heavy burden on his shoulders, "Otherwise, let you be the commander-in-chief of the alliance!

You are more experienced than me, and you are the one who can ensure a stable life for your whole family under the strong pressure from the housekeeping department.

Since everyone thinks that a young boy like me who has just reached adulthood can do it, then an uncle can definitely do better!

Moreover, if there is any problem with the alliance, you can ask your son to go to Building 050 next door for help, so there will be no accidents!"

Gu Yang finished speaking in one breath, clearing himself completely and leaving the uncle no reason to refute.

For a moment, the villa was in an uproar because of what Gu Yang said.

Some people think that what Gu Yang said makes sense. Since the kid in Building 048 is unwilling, they can't force him.

The uncle in Building 049 is the neighbor of Building 050. Maybe we can really rely on him and his son when the time comes!

But some people find it outrageous. How can selecting a commander-in-chief be like a joke? Just a child's casual remark is taken seriously!

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment, and listen to me!"

Lu Ming, who organized this rally, spoke loudly, which calmed the noise at the scene.

"Everyone, listen to me. There is no point in continuing to argue like this. It will only hurt the harmony among us.

I suggest that we all nominate and write down our candidates for commander-in-chief on this piece of paper.

Then everyone raised their hands to vote, and the one with the most supporters was the commander-in-chief of our alliance, and the second and third positions were the deputy commanders.

How do you think this works?"

As soon as Lu Ming's words came out, he immediately received support from everyone.

There is really no need for such a quarrel. Not only does it waste time, but if it gets out of hand it might attract the housekeeping department and get everyone involved, which would be ugly.

"I agree with this method!" Someone was the first to stand up, "I propose Lu Ming!"

Someone immediately chimed in, “I also proposed Lu Ming!

Everyone should know that it was he who organized this rally.

From finding the meeting place to secretly notifying everyone to attend, he did everything on his own.

He is calm, thoughtful, and humble. How can we let such a person with leadership ability be buried!"

"I suggest Zhang Shan!"

"I propose Li Si!"

…

Of course, some people still suggested Gu Yang.

However, given his previous argument with the uncle from Building 049 and his own sincere refusal, he was clearly at a disadvantage in the subsequent voting phase.

The final ranking relationship of the alliance's iron triangle was: Lu Ming was first and became the commander-in-chief with an absolute majority of votes.

The uncle Lou Zheng from Building 049 ranked second and became the deputy commander with one vote more than the third place Gu Yang.

As for Gu Yang, he dared not ignore his sister's warning and gave up decisively!

He also said that he still had to chop wood, cook and raise his younger sister every day, and that he had no other relatives to help him at home. He did not have enough time and energy to devote to the leadership of the alliance, and he was afraid that he would disappoint everyone's expectations.

Finally, the third deputy commander's position was successfully given to the fourth candidate, a young university history teacher named You Li!

What followed was an official and lengthy alliance mobilization meeting.

Because there are quite a lot of people here today, about 80 people, almost all the men in the villa area are here.

So the three commanders decided to hold their secret meetings near a hot spring pool somewhere on the mountain.

Everyone went up the mountain separately to avoid being noticed by the housekeeping department.

It is stipulated that everyone will gather once every three days, and the three commanders will gather once a day to discuss a comprehensive method to deal with the Housekeeping Department as soon as possible!

And Mu Jiu, who was sitting in the garden of Villa 050 and making scented tea, knew everything that happened and the decisions made in Villa 025 today clearly!
