Chapter 256: Meet Again
"Have you decided how much management fee each family will pay?" Yang Qing asked.
"It hasn't been decided yet, but the initial intention is to provide 20 kilograms of food to each family," said Lin Rui.
"Twenty kilograms per family?" Yang Qing raised an eyebrow. "Isn't this a bit unfair? My family is so small, with only three people, and yours is over a thousand square meters, with dozens of people. We pay the same management fee?"
"Well..." Lin Rui laughed awkwardly, "It seems, it is indeed a little unfair, huh?"
"It's more than just a little, it's very unfair." Yang Qing laughed, "You need to have more security guards patrolling outside your house and two more cleaners to clean up."
"Then... let's calculate it based on the area?" Lin Rui said, "I'm inexperienced. Where have I ever done this before? It's all done by others, and I don't have to worry about our management fees."
"Based on area, it's possible, but based on population, it's hard to confirm. Some people come and go, and might only stay for a few days before leaving." Yang Qing said, glancing at Lin Rui, "Is the once high-and-mighty Second Young Master also going to come down to earth?"
"My grandfather told me to learn more. He said I was ignorant and only knew how to play..."
Yang Qing chuckled, isn't it?
"Oh, I came here for another thing." Lin Rui said seriously, "We decided to recruit 20 security guards, but the quality of the people we recruited is mixed. I want my brother-in-law to be their instructor and train all the security guards in our community."
"It's the end of the world now, and it's midnight. I'm afraid there are a lot of people planning to invade our community. I'm worried that the security guards won't be able to protect us."
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely pay my brother-in-law a salary that is higher than others."
"Are we the kind of people who are short of that little salary?" Yang Qing raised his eyebrows.
Lin Rui smiled bitterly, "Sister, I know you don't need that little salary, but we all live here, and you also want a safe environment. To be honest, I don't trust anyone else, I only trust you and my brother-in-law."
Yang Qing was surprised, "Why do you trust us so much?"
"Although I don't have much ability, I do have good judgment!" Lin Rui patted his chest. "Given our friendship, who else can I trust?"
Leng Yi smiled and said, "It's not impossible for me to be the instructor, but the time cannot be too long, no more than two hours a day, and let them practice on their own the rest of the time. We have our own things to do."
"Okay, no problem!" Lin Rui said immediately.
Leng Yi followed Lin Rui to the security team, met with twenty security guards first, looked at their information, and then decided on a training plan and time.
When Lin Rui saw that what they were teaching was fighting skills, he felt itchy and clamored to learn it together.
After just two days of study, he couldn't stand the hardship and didn't want to continue learning. After being ridiculed by Leng Yi, he went back to study.
Who would have thought that after a week, I would like it more and more.
Lin Huaishu was a little moved when he saw this. "I didn't expect this Leng guy to be so capable. He can even teach a lazy guy like Lao Er to be a good person!"
Lin Chen smiled, "Yes, this guy is really capable. Judging from his skills, he must have been from the military or police force before, and not just an ordinary department."
"But Xiaorui is indeed more sensible than before. Dad can rest assured about this."
Lin Huaishu shook his head. "He just thinks it's fun. He can't settle down without a family and a career."
"Dad..." Lin Chen looked at his father, "Do you still want Xiaorui to marry in this world?"
"Our Lin family is not as good as it used to be. If we don't marry into another family, how can we guarantee our future status?" Lin Huaishu sighed.
Lin Chen was silent. When he was with his first love, he was strongly opposed by his family. Later, that person left, but a year later he asked someone to send the child back, saying that it was his child.
A paternity test confirmed it was his.
He was disheartened at the time, and later refused to get married no matter what his father said.
Now the burden of marriage fell on my younger brother again. But it was the end of the world, so who could I trust to marry into? Who knew one day the whole family would be wiped out?
But he could also understand his father. If the Lin family fell into decline under his leadership, he would not be ashamed to see the ancestors of the Lin family.
Having a child can make me understand my father's good intentions even more. Although I don't want my child to be like me in the future, I also really hope that his future wife will be from a good family of equal status, so that I don't have to worry for the rest of my life.
People are sometimes so contradictory.
After the security team finished practicing, Lin Rui called Leng Yi, "Brother Yi..."
During this period, Leng Yi worked as an instructor for the security guards, and everyone called him Instructor Leng. Of course, Lin Rui couldn't call him brother-in-law anymore, so he later called him Brother Yi.
"I want to add some equipment to the security team. What do you want? Let's go buy it together," said Lin Rui.
Leng Yi thought about it and realized that it was impossible for everyone to be equipped with guns. Although it was the end of the world, carrying guns was still not allowed, at least on the surface.
Then just equip some batons, electric batons, shields, stab-proof clothing, etc.
"Let's go to the administrative center to buy it. There are quite a few shops there. I've been there before and there are some second-hand ones at reasonable prices." Leng Yi said.
A security guard nearby interrupted, "Instructor Leng, there are some in the old city as well, and they're much cheaper than in the administrative center."
"Old Town?" Lin Rui was surprised. "There's an old town?"
"Of course, I came from the old town." The security guard was also surprised. How could they not know?
Leng Yi didn't know either. They all thought the tsunami destroyed the entire city, and before the new urban area was built, Xia City must have been deserted. Even the survivors would have moved to other cities, right?
"Where do people in the old city live?" Leng Yi asked.
"A small number of buildings remained intact, and they were packed with people. Some were survivors of previous construction, while others were temporary residents from other cities who wanted to buy a house but didn't have enough points to buy one."
"Some people gathered materials and built temporary shelters on the ruins. When more people built shelters, shanty towns were formed."
“It’s actually a ghetto.”
"With more people, there will naturally be places for trading. Things there are much cheaper than in the new city."
"Then let's go and take a look?" Lin Rui was very curious.
"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded and drove his Knight XV. This car was fully bulletproof, explosion-proof and stab-proof. He didn't have to worry even if someone attacked him when he went to the slums.
"Brother Yi, can I drive?" Lin Rui looked at the car with envy.
Leng Yi glanced at him and moved to the passenger seat, "You drive!"
"Hey, thank you Brother Yi!" Lin Rui looked surprised.
When we arrived at the old city, we realized how bad the conditions were. It was filthy everywhere, garbage was flying everywhere, there were swarms of mosquitoes, and people were urinating and defecating everywhere.
Some people's houses are just covered with a piece of rag on the side of the half-collapsed house, and some are supported by a few wooden boards, which will fall down if the wind blows.
Lin Rui frowned. He had never been to such a dirty place before and was a little reluctant to go in.
"Brother Yi, why don't we just go?"
Leng Yi nodded. No matter how cheap the things were, they would not be good in such an environment because they were too dirty.
Just as Lin Rui turned around, several people suddenly rushed out, picked up wooden sticks and smashed the car body.
After a few "bang bang" sounds, the car was fine, but the people's sticks were broken.
Leng Yi took out his gun and was about to give those people a warning.
Suddenly a voice came over, "Brother Yi, is that you, Brother Yi?"
Leng Yiding stared over and was stunned.
Is it Jiang Hao?
