Chapter 175 Where a man's money is, there his heart is
“It’s so nice to lie down on the farm, with food, drink and fun, Commander Fu, you don’t think I like to go out and suffer, do you?
The last time I went north, I agreed to go because Commander Duan promised to get back the management rights of the farm for me.
So what benefits can you give me when we go to the east for this trade, Chief Fu?" Mu Jiu said with a sly smile.
"What do you want?"
Fu Hengyuan's words were like giving her a blank check, indicating that she could fill it out as she pleased.
Before Mu Jiu could speak, he heard Fu Hengyuan add:
“How about the position of deputy base commander?
This will further consolidate the farm's position in the base, making it more convenient for you to do anything in the future.
As for the missing points, I will personally make up for them for you."
These words surprised Mu Jiu. To make up the difference meant giving her points for free, and it was not a small amount at that.
This is indeed the greatest sincerity Fu Hengyuan can show.
Before the end of the world, there was a popular saying on the Internet: Where a man's money is, there is his heart.
The same applies to this matter.
This person wants to help her get the points required for promotion to deputy base commander. This is sincerity.
The positions of the top management of the base are ranked according to the points they have.
There are now a total of 30 base directors and deputy base directors in the base. As the name suggests, they are the big guys who rank in the top 30 in points in the base.
Ample points can ensure that each of them is capable of managing the affairs of one party.
In this time of the end of the world where the strong prey on the weak, only those who possess sufficient resources are qualified to become decision-makers of the base.
Or to put it in a more vulgar way, whoever gives you milk is your mother.
Mu Jiu's current personal account points are 30.8 billion, ranking 40th in the base.
There is still a long way to go before we can enter the top 30.
In fact, the higher the ranking, the greater the gap.
For example, the points of Mu Jiu and the person above her who is ranked 39th can reach 10 billion.
The refugees at the bottom of society probably never saw such a long string of numbers on their Fire Points Card until they died.
But Mujiu himself was not short of supplies.
The amount of crops unearthed from space farms in the past few years after the apocalypse alone has exceeded the total amount of food in the base warehouses by several times.
If she takes out 1/10 of the things in the space, she can easily surpass Captain Fu Ji who is at the top of the points.
But that's not necessary.
When I first came to the base two years ago, it was out of sympathy for the refugees in the third-level resettlement area from my previous life.
She had thought about donating some supplies to the base so that she could exchange them for some points.
But after two years of working in a high position and gaining personal experience, this idea was completely dispelled.
In fact, any supplies she donated to the base would have almost no chance of reaching the hands of level 3 refugees.
The doomsday base is like a pyramid, and the vast number of level-three refugees are only worthy of eating the leftovers from the upper-class nobles.
It really allowed her to witness with her own eyes what it was like to live in luxury.
For example, fresh fruits and vegetables would be in trouble if there were no farms to mediate and interfere with the flow of supplies.
Level 3 refugees probably can't even see the shadow of these things, let alone eat them.
So for Mu Jiu, if he wanted to do good, instead of donating supplies to the base warehouse, it would be better to use his power to protect one side.
For example, there are thousands of college students who are now planting trees in the mountains under the name of the farm.
As long as Mu Jiu is still here and the farm is still here, they can be considered to have a golden rice bowl in the end times and will never have to worry about food and drink.
Or she could organize some charity work privately in the name of the farm.
But judging from the current situation, she, as the Minister of Agricultural Cooperative, has no say in the base and has no real power.
If you want to do anything, you have to rely on Fu Hengyuan's background.
But if I have the title of deputy base commander, it would be legitimate for me to interfere in the affairs of the base.
Mu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "So generous? It seems that your Fu family is under great pressure this time!"
Fu Hengyuan didn't comment, "When have I ever been stingy? So are you going?"
Facing his earnest gaze, Mu Jiu felt something was wrong and asked:
"You insisted on asking me to go with you this time. Do you have any other plans?"
She recalled the time when she went north and went with Fu Hengyuan to sweep the border of the Brown Bear Country.
Compared to Duan Ran's calmness and principle, Fu Hengyuan is more like an adventurer.
But if he just wanted to negotiate a deal with a small private base, he could just send his men to negotiate.
Why should I go there in person and go through all the trouble to bring her with me?
There was a brief silence in the office, and soon Fu Hengyuan spoke:
"There are some things that are not on the open agenda, and the top leaders of the base are not aware of them. They have to be done in secret.
So I am not bringing many people with me this time. They are all my trusted followers. I need your help."
Mu Jiu approached Fu Hengyuan and asked curiously, "Are you going to take down that private base and cut off the source of the Su Alliance's financial support?"
Fu Hengyuan looked at Mu Jiu speechlessly, "I'm not stupid, why would I take over a base of 200,000 people and cause trouble for myself?"
"Then tell me, why are you keeping me in suspense? Are you trying to drag me into this with something embarrassing?"
Fu Hengyuan cleared his throat, met Mu Jiu's gaze and said:
“A few days ago, when I sent people to gather information, we encountered invaders coming from the sea near the private base in the east.
After a brief battle, it was discovered that those people's weapons and equipment were not simple.
I heard that after the extreme heat began, the private base over there was often harassed by those guys.
The group came from the high seas, but it was unclear whether they were pirates or base forces from a nearby country.
But if there are weapons, there must be supplies.
If we can go over and take down the other party's lair, that would be killing two birds with one stone.
Not only can you sell it to the private base, but you can also collect a wave of supplies and weapons.
But we don’t know the other party’s background yet, so this matter is quite dangerous.
If you can come and help, the chances of success will be much greater.”
Hearing Fu Hengyuan say this, Mu Jiu suddenly recalled things from his previous life.
At that time, due to water shortage, the base did make a lot of efforts, including going to the beach to fetch water.
There are not many things that people at the bottom of society can know, but anything that can be passed on to them must be a earth-shattering event.
She had heard about the battle between the base and the invaders from the sea.
Its heroism is comparable to the original northward movement.
After all, in the previous life, before the extreme heat came, responsible generals like Commander Duan had already been killed or injured.
As for how long Fu Hengyuan lived in his previous life, Mu Jiu didn't know.
But considering his luck in this life, he probably wouldn't survive the extreme cold without her secret help.
As a result, there are few people in the base who can fight, and the top leaders of the base are gradually corrupted by those greedy and selfish middle-aged men.
Therefore, the battle against foreign invaders was quite brutal, and it is said that almost no one came back alive.
Mu Jiu's heart trembled.
If Fu Hengyuan can't come back safely, the base will probably be in chaos.
If the Su family really takes over the world, she won't be able to live a peaceful life in the base.
Those guys who were eyeing the farm and wanted to devour it were coming to bother her again.
It is easy to block an open attack but difficult to guard against an attack from the dark. She can't possibly clear out all the complicated first-level resettlement areas.
There was no way she would give up the little farm she had built with great effort.
Therefore, she was afraid that she had to go to the Eastern Sea.
"Will Commander Duan go this time?" Mu Jiu asked.
"You care about him?"
Mu Jiu looked at him with strange eyes, "It's such a dangerous operation, can't you show some concern?"
“He’s not going, so I’m the one leading the team out this time.
He stayed at the base to protect my family. The base has been uneasy recently." Fu Hengyuan explained patiently.
"Okay, when do we set off? I'll have someone prepare." Mu Jiu said.
"This is urgent. Can we leave tomorrow? How long will it take to pack 100,000 kilograms of dried fruits and vegetables?"
Mu Jiu thought for a moment, frowned and replied:
"If we leave tomorrow night, we'll probably have everything packed, and you can just send a truck over to load the goods."
Fu Hengyuan nodded, took out a black card with a whole circle of diamonds from his trouser pocket, and placed it in front of Mu Jiu.
“This is my Fire Card, which contains a total of 688.8 billion points.
The password is six eights, and you use it to deduct the account of 100,000 kilograms of dried fruits and vegetables.
Then this card will be temporarily placed in your hand as a token of my sincerity in inviting you out.
When we return triumphantly, you will be among the deputy base commanders."
Fu Hengyuan looked into her eyes, as formally as if he was making a will. He seemed to feel that this trip was a life-or-death experience.
"Okay, don't worry, we will all come back alive. I haven't lived enough yet."
