After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, the old Taoist's face turned red, which was rare.
“Dongzi, we got the approval for the training base last year.
However, the higher-ups only approved the procedures but not a penny of funding, saying that we had to raise the funds ourselves.
Aren’t we poor? We have never been able to raise enough money to do this.
Some time ago, I managed to use that hilltop ranch to extort some money from those old antiques.
But isn't this another case of the investigation meeting being merged?
Now, our arrangements are stable, the funds are in place, and we can start building this training base right away.
But Dongzi, this money also has a part for you."
The old Taoist looked at Zhang Xudong and continued embarrassedly:
"Zhao Peng and Zhou Yanan's families gave you some rewards.
I know you don't need this little money, so I left it all to you.
Here are two ginseng roots that are over 200 years old, which they also asked me to bring to you.
As the old Taoist said this, he took out two old mountain ginseng from his bag and placed them on the table.
Zhang Xudong didn't care about the money, but he really wanted the old mountain ginseng, so he immediately picked it up and handed it to He Jingxian.
"Master Dao, what you did was not fair at all. You even robbed me.
Also, didn't those sects give me any explanation for using my mountain top?"
Zhang Xudong doesn't believe that those big and powerful sects would do things in such an unethical way.
Who knows what the old Taoist may have embezzled here.
The old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "I asked them to pay five years' rent first.
The rent and the thank you money from the two families are just enough to build our base."
Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian were stunned after hearing what the Taoist said.
He Jingxian immediately became unwilling.
"Well, you old Taoist priest, after all this talk, you're still using my family's money to build that base!
Why are you so shameless?
We're the only ones who are easy to talk to, right? You're just picking on us to take advantage of us, right?
If you come to our house again, you won’t get any food or even water.”
The old Taoist said helplessly: "What can we do?
I only know your family as a big money provider. If I don’t look for a solution from you, where else can I look for a solution?
But I, the old Taoist priest, will never let you suffer any loss.
I took the forest on the top of the mountain and the hill where the training base was located.
They were all transferred to the name of our Special Affairs Bureau training base.
I'm going to write a report and ask you to be the person in charge of this training base.
From now on, how that area is used will be up to you."
Zhang Xudong pointed at the old Taoist priest and said angrily:
"Master Dao, you have cheated me of my money and you are still thinking of cheating me!
Did I tell you that you were going to be the one in charge of that Lao Shenzi?
I want to study and go to college, please let me go.
I won’t talk about the money, just use it. I also promised you that instructor, so let’s do it.
But I don’t care about the rest, do whatever you want.
Also, search for some ginseng and other valuable medicinal herbs for me, and this incident on the mountaintop will be over."
"Okay, I will definitely search for all these seeds for you.
Are you planning to plant these medicinal herbs in Xiangyang Brigade?
This kind of medicinal material takes time to grow. Are they willing to grow it?"
"Don't worry about where to plant the herbs, I will make the arrangements.
By the way, what should we do with Xiaojing and I’s IDs? Are they invalidated?”
The old Taoist said indifferently:
"The other people's credentials for the investigation committee have been taken away and replaced with credentials from the Special Affairs Bureau.
From now on, we won’t have to live our lives in secrecy anymore.
Although our identities will remain somewhat confidential, there is no need to use pseudonyms anymore.
The leader did not instruct us to take back your certificate.
He just asked me to tell you that the two red books are still useful and you should continue to use them.
So you guys can decide what to do with the blueprint yourself.
If you want to continue using it to fool people, then keep using it. If you want to keep it as a souvenir, then you can also keep it.
Anyway, I haven't received any orders to revoke your documents, so I won't bother with this troublesome matter."
After having lunch at home, the old Taoist hurried out again.
"Brother Dong, do you really know how to make some kind of recovery solution? Why haven't I seen you do it before?
I can do nothing, I'm just trying to fool them.
Let's pour the well water into those empty wine bottles and add some cola.
The Zhang family's secret recipe for the recovery fluid passed down through generations is now ready."
He Jingxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this and said:
"You're amazing! This is a great deal with no capital investment. It's a huge profit.
Why don’t we also sell this in Hong Kong and San Francisco?
We mix the well water into drinks of various flavors, package them into small bottles of one or two ounces, and use them to steal the foreigners' money."
“That’s a good idea, we should plan it carefully.
If it is fixed, my uncle and my second uncle will all become rich.
We first need to give this product a catchy name, and then design a gorgeous packaging for it."
"As for the name, the name 'Recovery Fluid' is too unfashionable.
"Healthy God Water? Oriental God Liquid? Chinese Life Liquid? None of those sounds very nice."
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, He Jingxian kept thinking about it.
"Do you think the name Oriental Life Essence is okay?
