"Three of you, please take a seat!"
Du Huairen enthusiastically poured tea for Su Keke and the other two. His expression was very different from the cold face he had during the meeting just now.
"Is there something important that Master Du wants to talk to us about?"
Qin Xiu was a little reserved. After sitting down, he went straight to the point and asked.
Su Keke also followed Qin Xiu and cast an inquiring look at the old man.
I think Grandma Qiao was the calmest person throughout the whole process. She just drank tea by herself, as if nothing had happened.
"I think the three of you are not ordinary people. It is a blessing for our Du family to be able to live in our Lanshan Villa District."
Du Huairen suddenly praised the three of them without thinking, which made Su Keke and the other two a little embarrassed.
"Old man, you better speak your mind! If you praise us like this, aren't you afraid that we will become arrogant and forget our place?"
Su Keke interrupted Du Huairen's polite words. She didn't want to waste time practicing Tai Chi with him.
Du Huairen originally wanted to lay the groundwork before getting down to business, but he didn't expect that Su Keke was so impatient!
"Okay! Then I'll be frank. Several of you are here at today's homeowners' meeting. Many residents in the community don't know how chaotic the situation is outside, and are still dreaming at home that the natural disaster will soon end."
"The patrol team recently discovered traces of strangers' activities outside the Lanshan Villa District. If it weren't for our Du family's strong security team, those people would have taken action long ago."
"I see that you are not afraid of trouble. I want to cooperate with you. If someone wants to take over Lanshan Villa District in the future, I hope you can stand together with our Du family. As a token of cooperation, you don't have to pay the property management fee in the future."
The reason why Du Huairen took such a long time to make a detour was actually here. How did this old man know that the three of them had this ability?
Qin Xiu also had an incredible look on his face. He usually just wrote novels, and most people didn't know that he was a ninth-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Could it be that when he bought the villa, the Du family had already conducted a comprehensive investigation on him?
"What does it mean to stand together with your Du family?" Su Keke and Qin Xiu were both a little confused about this question?
Du Huairen narrowed his eyes and smiled, then continued, "What I mean is, if someone attacks Lanshan Villa District, you can join our Du family in resisting the enemy together!"
"Just for this, Mr. Du waived our two families' monthly property management fees. Isn't your business a bit of a loss?"
Su Keke raised her eyes, communicated with Qin Xiu through eye contact, and said to Du Huairen.
"I think our cooperation is a win-win situation. How can we lose? Haha! If you don't object, I will take it as your consent."
Du Huairen is indeed a former business tycoon, and he is particularly good at observing people's words and expressions.
Neither Su Keke nor Qin Xiu had any explicit objection to the cooperation.
We are all smart people. If we plan to stay in Lanshan Villa District for a long time, then cooperating with the Du family is undoubtedly the best choice, and it can also save a lot of materials in a year.
"Okay! Old man, you are a straightforward person, and I won't beat around the bush. I agree to this matter."
Su Keke stood up from opposite Du Huairen and said.
When Qin Xiu and Grandma Qiao saw Su Keke stand up, they also stood up and said, "We have no problem either!"
"Hahaha! Great! In order to have a pleasant cooperation, I would like to invite the three of you to my home for a simple meal."
"Thank you for your kindness, old man. You don't have to eat! If there is nothing else, I will leave first. My sister is waiting for me to go back home for dinner!"
Qin Xiu took a step ahead of Su Keke and directly rejected Du Huairen's invitation to dinner.
Du Huairen's smiling face suddenly froze. No one had ever rejected him so directly.
Aren't people short of food now? There are still people who refuse to eat at other people's homes.
"Then we won't go either. Thank you for your hospitality, old man. We will go back now."
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao smiled sincerely, looking towards the gate as if ready to retreat at any time.
"Okay! Then I won't force you to stay. Let's keep in touch later!"
Seeing that the three had no intention of staying for dinner, Du Huairen had no choice but to give up.
…
Time has unknowingly come to March. In the past, this time of year is the best time to go out for an outing, with the breeze on your face and the weather being neither too cold nor too hot, it is a very comfortable season.
But now in March, the temperature has gradually risen to 25 degrees.
This rate of temperature rise gave Su Keke a bad feeling. The extreme heat that was originally expected to arrive in July might come earlier.
The villa area has been relatively quiet recently, and those residents who did not pay the property fees have not suffered any losses due to the loss of the protection of the Du family security team. This has made them more determined not to pay the property fees.
Since they don’t even want to pay the property management fee, they don’t want to participate in the vegetable planting and breeding that Du Huairen mentioned.
The temperature is rising now. Once the natural disaster is over, will they still be afraid of not being able to buy supplies even though they have money?
Du Huairen did not force it. After all, no one would feed someone else a cooked meal, and it was not like he couldn't eat it himself!
Su Keke had promised Du Huairen the rocket launchers. She said that she had some progress in the past few days. The quantity was ten, and there was a box of ammunition with twenty rocket launchers in it.
What Su Keke wanted to exchange was diesel and gasoline, and she knew that Mr. Du had channels in this regard.
Du Huairen was also generous and directly gave Su Keke half a ton of diesel and less gasoline, only 200 liters.
However, Su Keke was also very satisfied. Half a ton of diesel was used for the villa's generator, which should last for two to three years. She rarely drove the car, so she had no shortage of gasoline.
…
As the temperature rose day by day, Chen Guodong realized that something was wrong and that extreme heat might be coming soon.
Now the municipal office has melted all the snow stored during the extreme cold weather and filtered out the impurities. This water can be used for drinking when there is a water shortage.
The well-drilling team has successfully found eight water sources in various parts of Lingcheng.
Chen Li and Meng Yi were temporarily assigned to participate in the well digging task.
The weather is good now, not too hot, and everyone is working very hard.
Everyone thought that the situation was moving in the right direction.
The government set up a breeding base during this period, and many citizens rushed to sign up. However, the base could not use so many people at once, so many people without breeding experience were quickly rejected.
Lu Mei and Shi Huan had been growing vegetables and raising chickens on the 20th floor since the natural disaster, so they had some experience and were lucky enough to be admitted to the poultry farming department.
The vegetable department has been fully recruited, and Chen Da was rejected from the breeding department because of his lack of experience. Now he is the only one on the 20th floor who does not have a salary. He was dejected on the way back.
Lu Mei and Shi Huan comforted him, saying that the vegetables and chickens at home would be left to him in the future, and he could also learn from experience at home.
Su Keke dug out some electrified wire mesh from the space, and she stepped on the wooden ladder and wrapped it around the guardrail of the fence in circles.
Once it's done and the electricity is turned on, anyone who dares to break into the yard in the middle of the night will be electrocuted to a crisp.
Grandma Qiao plans to loosen the soil in the villa's green belt and plant some vegetables, one or two of each variety, so that the vegetables grown in the space can be clear.
The two of them divided the work and cooperated with each other, and were both happy to be busy.
