Chapter 34 Chapter 34

◎Boss, do you need me to call the police? (Second update)◎

After hearing Lian Jiu's words, Si Lan curled his lips and said, "Take all these snacks back. I really want to do that."

"Hiss." Lian Jiu couldn't help but twist his arm, feeling rather annoyed. "I'm serious."

Si Lan let her pull him, and didn't answer immediately. Instead, he slowly opened the snack bag in his hand, casually put some chips into his mouth, and asked with a smile, "Lian Jiu, are you drunk?"

"No." Lian Jiu withdrew his hand, propped up his chin and said, "I only drank a little."

Si Lan turned his head to look at her.

Lian Jiu moved his neck, tilted his head to look at the starry sky in the mountains, which was clearer and brighter than the starry sky outside, and suddenly said, "Huama, let's fly back today."

"Okay, Principal!"

The car slowly took off. Lian Jiu felt the wind blowing, but he didn't look back. Instead, he said softly, "Don't blame me for meddling in other people's business. I just think it would be a shame if I didn't do something for myself."

"What about you?"

"ah?"

"You do so much for the mountains for such a small amount of money, but don't you do something for yourself?" Si Lan asked slowly, "After all, you were quite scared at first, weren't you?"

"You knew that, too." Lian Jiu turned back in surprise, touching her face. "Actually, it's okay. I'm quite happy right now. I love the little ones, and I think everyone in the mountains is so kind, so I don't think there's anything wrong with this."

"Besides, after I get my salary, I can save money to buy a house!" Lian Jiu suddenly sat up straight. "You reminded me that I need to keep an eye on the news about the self-study exam. I need to get a degree in the future."

"Do you want to take the exam too?" Lian Jiu asked. "We can review together then. A degree can still help you do a lot of things."

Si Lan laughed as if he had heard something funny: "In the future? Buy a house?"

"What's wrong with buying a house?" Lian Jiu didn't understand why he reacted like that. "I can't live in school forever. Only with a house can I feel like I have a place to stay, a home."

Si Lan couldn't stop smiling: "That makes sense. To achieve your goal, shouldn't you be more frugal in the future?"

"I've always been very frugal," Lian Jiu said excitedly. "You said our salaries are similar, so how about you eat less and save money together, and then we can buy a house in the same neighborhood?"

Si Lan raised an eyebrow: "How many of us?"

"How many of you demon gods are there?" Lian Jiu stretched out his hand and counted them. "You, Chongming, Longju, Pixiu, Bifang, and maybe Bai Ze or someone else."

"Why do you want to live with us?"

"Because I only know you guys." Lian Jiu said naturally, "We're all friends, it's fun living together."

Si Lan laughed again. He didn't know what hit his funny bone, but he couldn't stop laughing and even ignored the snacks in his hand.

Lian Jiu thought he was unwilling to live with him: "I'm just suggesting that you can live alone if you want."

After laughing for a while, Si Lan stopped, biting some potato chips, and said with a smile in his voice: "Okay."

I don't know if this "OK" refers to living alone or in a residential area.

-

The next day, Wei Jingxuan packed her things and prepared to return to Fuyu Mountain. She knocked on her brother's door and said, "Brother, didn't you say you were going on a field trip today? Why haven't you left yet?"

Wei Jingchen flung open the door and looked at her with the same expression as if she were a brainwashed fool: "You still want to go back?!"

"Why not? I need to quickly familiarize myself with the environment and prepare to start classes after returning for National Day."

Since there was no one else here, Wei Jingchen was no longer afraid. He pulled his sister into the study room and said seriously, "Now tell me from beginning to end how that teacher persuaded you."

"Didn't I tell you that?"

"Not a single word was missed!"

Wei Jingxuan was speechless: "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Jingchen was so disappointed: "What's wrong with me? I want to know how they brainwashed you. Why are you so devoted to them? And why are you so secretive and won't let anyone else in? Is this the way a decent place should be?"

Wei Jingxuan understood what her brother meant, and she felt both angry and amused.

She sat down and patted the table: "What do you think of them? Can't you be a little more open-minded? I tell you, if there's no seriousness there, then there's no serious place."

“Isn’t this still brainwashing?”

"..." Wei Jingxuan wanted to dig into her brother's brain to see what was inside. How could he do business like this?

Or are all businessmen so suspicious?

She said helplessly: "If that was the case, why would she let me go home and contact you?"

Wei Jingchen said clearly: "I want you to develop downline."

Wei Jingxuan choked.

"She went to Wu Shanshan's house yesterday to discuss cooperation. Do you want to ask Wu Shanshan's parents what kind of person Principal Lian Jiu is?"

Wei Jingchen was reminded that they were all in the same city and these top people were all connected to each other.

This was also what made him feel strange. Lian Jiu made the mountain so mysterious and didn't allow outsiders to enter, but he came out to discuss cooperation with others?

He looked at his sister suspiciously and called Wu's father.

After learning the whole story, Father Wu smiled and said, "I did have a meal with her yesterday. This kid is really good."

Wei Jingchen: "What do you mean?"

"My wife went to discuss the business. She said Lian Jiu is very smart, visionary, and has a good personality. She's very promising at a young age," said Father Wu. "After our meal, I also feel that her future is limitless. I heard from Shanshan that Lian Jiu seems to be doing something very meaningful, and it's something that no one in the country, or even in the past or present, can accomplish. To be honest, I'm very curious. There aren't many people who can get such praise from Shanshan, but Shanshan said it's a private matter, so we can't know for the time being."

Wei Jingchen thought: Why is it like this again, always about privacy?

Father Wu added, "If Director Lian Jiu agrees to let you go, you can go. And please tell us what the important matter is. We do plan to continue working with her in the future."

Wei Jingchen finally understood what curiosity killed the cat meant.

After hearing what his sister said and what Uncle Wu said, he became really curious.

Anyone who can make his uncle and aunt praise him so much and want to continue working with him must not be an ordinary person.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jingchen stood up and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. You go wait for me in the garage."

Wei Jingxuan had an expression that said "everything is under control" and she took her things and went downstairs.

After returning to the room and thinking it over, Wei Jingchen decided to put the tracker invented by his own company on his body.

But he didn't expect that his car and the tracker could not be used.

Looking at the Fuyushan Express bus parked in front of him, Wei Jingchen took a breath, pointed at his suit, and said in a stern tone: "You mean, I can't drive my multi-million SUV, and I have to take this bus?"

Wei Jingxuan didn't bother to care about her brother's domineering attitude and got into the car directly: "This is the only car that can get to the mountains."

Wei Jingchen gritted his teeth and got into the car resolutely.

He heard the driver greet his sister: "Teacher Wei is back to school today."

"Yes." Wei Jingxuan found a nearby seat and sat down. "Have the other teachers gone home yet?"

"Teacher Wu and Doctor Duan went back early in the morning, and Doctor Wang hasn't been seen yet." Hua Ma said, his eyes resting on the unfamiliar face behind Wei Jingxuan. The man was dressed similarly to Director Long before, but there seemed to be something different. They were wearing the same black suit, but the one in front of him seemed a little more expensive.

"Who is this?"

"This is my brother," Wei Jingxuan introduced. "He's here to talk to the director about funding."

Funding?

Doesn’t that mean you’re rich?!

Hua Ma immediately perked up and said enthusiastically, "Hello, sir! Welcome to Fu Yu Mountain!"

Wei Jingchen, who still had no idea what was going on here, hummed and sat next to his sister, feeling a little strange: "You've only been here a few days, and you already know the driver?"

"Yes." Wei Jingxuan nodded. "This is the mountain's full-time driver. We'll meet him every time he goes in or out."

In fact, he looks exactly like the school bus driver in the mountains.

I heard that the mount was drawn by Lord Si Lan, that Lord is so terrifying.

After a while, a few more people came up, all dressed strangely.

After getting on the bus and seeing Wei Jingxuan, everyone greeted her warmly and politely: "Good morning, Teacher Wei. Are you going back to school today?"

"Yes." Wei Jingxuan now had a general idea of ​​the situation in the mountains. "Are you guys going out to study today?"

"Yes, there are a few more batches, but they will leave later."

The big monsters all noticed another person at the same time. When they learned that this was the new teacher's brother, who had come to discuss funding, they all sat up straight, fearing that they would embarrass the mountain monsters.

Because they had met a few new teachers and found humans to be quite easy to get along with, the big monsters were not that scared at that time.

A big monster asked cautiously, "Boss, what do the inspections usually involve?"

They'd better be careful not to make any mistakes in this regard.

Wei Jingchen felt relieved when he saw that his sister was communicating with these people quite harmoniously, and that these people seemed to be particularly respectful to his sister.

Moreover, the conversations between these people were polite and unobtrusive, so he didn't put on airs. "It's nothing, it's just to see if the people involved are honest, if they really care about the children, and if the money is used in legitimate ways."

The big monsters breathed a sigh of relief: "It's very upright. We are all trying hard to learn etiquette and laws! It won't cause any trouble!"

Why does it sound so much like being in a labor camp here?

Wei Jingchen thought for a moment, then turned around and calmly inquired, "It all depends on the leadership, like your headmaster Lian Jiu."

The big monsters relaxed even more: "The director is the best!"

"How do you say that?"

"She's just so good. She's dedicated not only to the children but also to us." The big monsters tried their best to praise the headmaster. "We have something to do now because of her. Otherwise, we would still be screwing screws in the factory."

"Because of her?"

"Yes, after the principal came, she secured funds for the children to build a school. Knowing we were uneducated, she showed us videos in her office and taught us how to grow vegetables. When we were short of money, she even bought us seeds and piglets herself." The big monsters were truly grateful. "But we heard from Teacher Chongming that the principal herself had no money at the time and had to eat instant noodles for many days."

Wei Jingchen was stunned.

He had never looked up these details.

After reaching the mountains, the big monsters said goodbye politely and rushed to the greenhouse. Because the director had agreed on cooperation with the human world, everyone now needed to go to the greenhouse to pick and pack vegetables.

Wei Jingxuan and Wei Jingchen walked slowly behind.

Wei Jingchen didn't expect that there would be such scenery in the mountains, even snow-capped mountains.

His originally somewhat nervous and worried mood calmed down a lot after he came in.

And he also formally met the so-called Director Lian Jiu for the first time. He was standing by the lake, playing with the small fish in the lake. When he heard the sound, he stood up and turned around.

She was wearing a loose beige linen round-necked shirt, and her hair was tied into a bun with a branch. She looked like she had merged into a painting with the mountains and rivers.

Reaching out towards him: "Mr. Wei."

The sounds seemed as soft as the mountain breeze.

Wei Jingxuan tugged at her brother's clothes: "Brother, the headmaster is here to greet you."

"Yeah." Wei Jingchen felt a little nervous and reached out to shake hands with Lian Jiu. "Hello, I'm Wei Jingchen, Jingxuan's brother."

"Hello." Lian Jiu turned sideways. "Shall we talk while we walk?"

Wei Jingchen walked up to her.

At this time, the little carp in the lake poked its head out again and spit out a bubble.

Lian Jiu laughed: "Go home first, come back to play later."

The little carp jumped out of the water, turned its head and disappeared into the water.

Seeing this scene, Wei Jingchen almost let down his guard. After all, it was too beautiful. He was quite interested: "Why does it seem like he can understand what you are saying?"

Lian Jiu smiled and said, "Maybe."

Suddenly, Wei Jingchen's cell phone rang. It was his secretary calling.

After the call was connected, the secretary breathed a sigh of relief, then nervously asked, "Boss, do you want me to call the police?"

Wei Jingchen frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The secretary on the other end was almost in tears, worried sick. "Boss, the tracking signal has been gone since you got in the car. I've been waiting for a long time with no news from you, so I had to take the risk and call you. Are you okay now?"

This tracker is a new invention. LK is one of the top Internet companies in the country. How could it be wrong?

So there must be something wrong here, which makes the secretary so scared.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jingchen was also shocked. How could he disappear as soon as he got in the car?

Is there some kind of shielding device on the car?

"We'll talk later."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jingchen looked at the tracker software on his phone. It was gray, and it did show that it had stopped working a long time ago, but the other data was normal and it couldn't be broken.

Wei Jingchen frowned slightly.

Lian Jiu asked, "Is there something urgent?"

"It's okay." Wei Jingchen tried to calm himself down and not be fooled by the appearance of the person in front of him. "Let's go check out the school."

"Okay." Lian Jiu led him to the school. "There are no classes during the recent holidays. There are only a few teachers in the school."

Wei Jingchen saw two people, one big and one small, sitting under the eaves at a glance.

The younger one had a big smile on his face, while the older one had no expression, but his eyes were a little cold when he raised his head.

This made Wei Jingchen, who was used to big scenes, feel oppressed for a moment.

He shifted his gaze to look around the school. It was indeed as simple as in the video, both the teachers' dormitories and the classrooms.

It's unbelievable that my sister is willing to live in a place like this.

Lian Jiu said, "The lists I gave you earlier contain some necessities for our school. The new school is already under construction, and these things will be taken there when the time comes."

What's the point of listing necessities? There is nothing missing in this school. It's said that we are here for inspection, but there is nothing to see in the school that you can see from head to toe.

Finally, Wei Jingchen and Lian Jiu sat down at the school gate. "These things can be discussed, but there's one thing I don't like: I never cooperate with dishonest people."

Before Lian Jiu could say anything, Si Lan, who was basking in the sun, chuckled and said, "You're right."

Everyone turned around.

Si Lan turned his head and said calmly, "Similarly, we will not cooperate with people who install trackers in their phones."

Wei Jingchen's eyelids twitched suddenly.

"Tracker?!" Wei Jingxuan looked at her brother's phone in shock. "Brother, why are you still using a tracker?"

Si Lan smiled faintly: "I'm planning to call the police."

"elder brother!"

"I'm just worried about you!" Wei Jingchen didn't expect this man to know everything. Forget about the tracker, how did he know about calling the police? He couldn't have been monitoring the phone, could he?

Wei Jingxuan felt overwhelmed: "But, what will people think of you if you do this?"

Wei Jingchen said seriously, "It's a mysterious place, and they only let me come here to investigate. The signal disappeared automatically the moment I entered. What do you think? I'm afraid you've been tricked into joining some illegal organization!"

Lian Jiu came back to his senses from his surprise, and he understood what the misunderstanding was. He was secretly shocked. He was indeed the boss of a big company, so cautious that he even brought his own tracker.

Patting Wei Jingxuan on the shoulder, Lian Jiu gestured for her to sit down: "Don't be anxious, talk slowly."

"I want to know why you only let me in." Wei Jingchen had nothing to hide now. He took out his phone and asked directly, "Also, why did my tracker lose any signal as soon as I got on your car?"

Lian Jiu was not panicked. When she made the decision to let Wei Jingchen come, she had made all kinds of preparations.

At this time, Wei Jingchen was also very frank and did not hide his purpose.

"Letting ordinary people in would pose a threat to us." Lian Jiu said, "Besides, our place is special. Detection signals like those from the human world can't get in."

"Oh..." Wei Jingchen nodded halfway, then froze, "What do you mean by your human world?"

Lian Jiu pointed at the sign of the Monster Kindergarten and said softly, "Literally, the little carp you met just now can understand what I say. He is a little carp spirit and also a child who attends our kindergarten."

Wei Jingchen has done countless brain-demanding projects, but he has never found this sentence so difficult to understand.

Suddenly, the little boy he had just seen walked up to him and smiled sweetly at him: "Let me show you how to do it."

"What……"

Before he could finish his words, the little boy in front of him suddenly turned into a bird.

It only has one leg and speaks human language: "It's just that kind of monster."

Wei Jingchen: “…”

His eyes almost rolled back "!!!"

Wei Jingxuan hurriedly shouted towards the dormitory: "Doctor Duan! Doctor Duan!"

Duan Zian suddenly rushed out and pinched Wei Jingchen's philtrum with familiarity: "Take a deep breath, take a deep breath."

At this time, Wei Jingchen's secretary called again.

Wei Jingchen's hands were shaking when he came back to his senses. He reached for his cell phone. The monsters didn't stop him, but he couldn't hear clearly after hearing it several times. His mind was in a mess.

The secretary was at her wit's end and could only yell at the other end: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Are you going to call the police?"

Lian Jiu repeated caringly, "He asked if you still want to call the police."

After a pause, Lian Jiu took out his work ID from the Municipal Bureau and was very considerate of the rich man's feelings: "If you need to call the police, you can just come to me directly. These matters fall under our jurisdiction. I am the director of the Special Incidents Bureau."

Wei Jingchen: “…”

The author has something to say:

Wei Jingchen: Don’t call the police, call the funeral home directly.
