The official apology came quickly. Shi
Jin put down his phone in disbelief, turned his head and looked at Lian Jun who was sitting behind the desk, and asked: "What did you do? Why did the official suddenly issue several support projects to Ruixing, and relax many restrictions, opening a back door for Ruixing..."
"Has it been issued?" Lian Jun put down the document, took out his phone and called Shi Weichong.
Seeing this, Shi Jin hurried to the desk and tilted his head to listen to his conversation with Shi Weichong.
Lian Jun reached out and tapped his forehead, then simply switched the call to external speaker, and said to the phone: "The plan can start. I will send Gua Ba and Gua Shi to contact them. It doesn't matter if the action is a little big, there are official support projects to cover it up. What we want is speed."
"No problem, I have already made personnel arrangements here." Shi Weichong's voice came from the phone, with a polite tone and very official.
Shi Jin frowned when he heard it, and said: "Personnel arrangements? When did you arrange it? Didn't I tell you that you must rest well there and can't work for a long time?" After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Lian Jun, questioning silently with his eyes.
——When did you have private contact with Shi Weichong, why didn't you tell me?
Lian Jun understood his look immediately and explained, "It's not that I didn't tell you, but when I arranged these, you were still in military training, so I couldn't tell you this, and then I forgot to tell you."
So that's how it was, Shi Jin reluctantly accepted this explanation.
Shi Weichong seemed to have not expected Shi Jin to be there, and was stunned for a while before speaking again, his tone softened, and he directly ignored Lian Jun and asked, "Xiao Jin, how are you doing over there? I heard that you got first place in the military training, congratulations."
This must have been what Xiang Aoting said... Shi Jin's eyebrows twitched, and he replied, "Thank you, I'm fine here, but you, don't go to the hospital and just focus on work every day, rest is very important." After speaking, he glanced at Lian Jun, and the meaning of indirectly teaching him was very obvious.
Lian Jun curled the corners of his mouth and stretched out his hand to pinch his face.
After hearing Shi Jin's repeated concern and instructions, Shi Weichong's voice completely warmed up, and he replied: "Don't worry, I know my limits, the doctors are watching here. By the way, your birthday is coming soon. How are you going to celebrate your birthday this year? Do you want to have a birthday party? The second brother and the others want to help you celebrate."
Birthday party?
Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his birthday was approaching again. He glanced at Lian Jun who was looking at him quietly, and replied: "There's no need for a birthday party... I may not be in City B on my birthday. Thank everyone for their kindness on my behalf. When I'm done, I'll treat everyone to a meal. My eldest brother will also come, and we can have a good time together."
It was indeed the case.
Shi Weichong felt a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up and said, "Well, you go ahead and do your thing. The weather is slowly getting colder, so keep warm."
"Yeah, big brother too." Shi Jin replied, and then fell silent, not knowing how to continue the topic.
After the incident with Xu Jie, the concern of the five brothers of the Shi family for him gradually changed, becoming sincere and considerate, and also a little cautious. People are all made of flesh and blood. In the face of false concern, he can be indifferent, or even sneer, but in the face of this kind of pure kindness, he can no longer reject it coldly as before.
Moreover... the scene of Xiang Aoting carrying him off the playground during military training suddenly flashed through his mind. He curled his fingers and was a little distracted - escaping and ignoring are not solutions. Only positive communication can truly resolve the knot in the heart.
Should we give everyone a chance to completely reconcile? Perhaps by deeply understanding the true thoughts of each brother, we can find the most appropriate distance to get along with each other... But can broken feelings really be repaired? It seems that he has no right to do something with the identity of the original owner...
"What are you thinking about?"
His face was suddenly held, and a familiar face came in front of him.
Shi Jin came back to his senses, and did not answer the question, but instinctively lowered his head to look at the mobile phone on the table.
"You haven't said anything, so I'll hang up the phone for you." Lian Jun explained, and then lifted up his lowered head, looked into his eyes and said, "Just do what you want to do, and don't leave any regrets in your life. I'll always stand behind you."
When Shi Jin heard him say this, he suddenly felt at ease. He felt that the hesitant self just now was a little bit unlike himself. He clenched his fingers and said, "Then let's spend this New Year in the club." He also called the five brothers of the Shi family together.
Lian Jun nodded without thinking and said, "Okay."
"No, you have to go to the island to spend the winter. You can't stand the cold weather. Now is an important time for you to recuperate. You can't be careless." Shi Jin frowned, and immediately overturned his words. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then we should go to the island during the New Year, and then stay in the club for a while before leaving. Pick a day when they are all free and invite them out for a reunion dinner. This way, they won't delay their time to reunite with their families. Perfect!"
They both knew who they were referring to here.
Lian Jun smiled and still said, "Okay, whatever you say." Shi Jin
then smiled, kissed him on the side of his head, then stood up and said happily, "Then I'll notify them and ask them to free up a day before the New Year." After that, he turned around and touched his phone.
Lian Jun looked at his newly refreshed look, glanced at the mobile phone on the table and the tablet with new files constantly being sent to it, and lowered his eyes to concentrate on his thoughts - if he could delay for a while longer, this year's New Year should still be able to go smoothly.
He couldn't let Shi Jin down.
...
The official and Mie suddenly stopped harassing Wolf Spider, and not long after, a letter from the official with strong words was sent to the public mailboxes of the leaders of major organizations. In the letter, the official detailed the reasons why they took action against Wolf Spider this time, and emphasized that similar things would never be allowed to happen again in the future, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
Lu Shan also received the document. Although she had gathered her forces and hid away, she had not closed the channel of dialogue with the authorities.
"Zhang Zhuoyuan, that bastard, just beat me up, and then he asked me to cooperate with him to appease the economy of G Province under the banner of 'pardon' and 'compensation'. He threw all the bad things to me, and he played me like a fool!" Lu Shan complained like a machine gun on the other end of the phone, obviously angry at the official's actions this time. Shi
Jin felt a little embarrassed, because all the shameless demands made by the official to Wolf Spider were all instructed by Lian Jun.
Lian Jun was much more shameless than Shi Jin. His expression did not change at all when he heard the words. He changed the subject very naturally and asked, "Have the restrictions on the business that the authorities had previously closed down been lifted for you?"
"It's all open. All restrictions at the port have been lifted, and the goods have been released to me. Speaking of this makes me angry. Zhang Zhuoyuan called me personally, apologized first and then complained. After complaining, he tried to sell me favors. After selling me favors, he gave me a hard blow. Finally, he promised me such a small benefit in an attempt to calm the matter down. You didn't hear it. What he said was a lot of tricks. A stupid person might have been fooled by him." Lu Shan's face was dark, and she couldn't understand it. "He wasn't so difficult to deal with before. Was he possessed? I almost got tricked by him."
Shi Jin silently covered his face with the tablet, afraid that Lu Shan would see his expression. There is no doubt that the words Zhang Zhuoyuan said to Lu Shan were also taught by Lian Jun.
Lian Jun remained as still as a mountain. He ignored all of Lu Shan's complaints, only listened to the key points he wanted to hear, and said, "That's right, you should waste time with Zhang Zhuoyuan first, and don't let this matter settle too quickly. Give Sheya a clear view of the situation and the opportunity to react."
"I understand, I understand. I will be responsible for dragging things out on Zhang Zhuoyuan's side. When you burned my warehouse some time ago, Sheya took the opportunity to mess me up and even got to the treasure island. Fortunately, you reminded me and let me hide all the things in advance, otherwise I might have been really cheated by him. He dares to set his sights on me, and I'll kill him this time!" Lu Shan became angry again as she spoke.
Lian Jun reminded, "Don't be careless, Sheya still has some skills."
"You guy..." Lu Shan was instructed by his junior in the same way, with a helpless look on her face, and said, "I am your elder, and you are so arrogant. Be careful that Shi Jin will dislike you. Anyway, thank you for your idea. Taking advantage of the official harassment, I released a large number of peripheral brothers, and the burden on my shoulders is finally a little lighter."
"You're welcome." Lian Jun finally had a different expression on his face after hearing this, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you lose so much goods."
Lu Shan waved her hands to show that it was nothing, and said, "Compared with people, goods are nothing... Okay, I'm going to be busy, and I'm hanging up." After that, he hung up the phone directly.
…
As soon as the official signal was released that Wolf Spider would be let off and even compensated, the situation on the road changed again in an instant. The leaders of Wumen and Qianye evacuated Province G at the first opportunity, without even saying hello to Snake Fang.
"Zhang Zhuoyuan, that wimp!" Xi Fan, the deputy leader of Snake Fang, couldn't help cursing out loud, looking at the tall and thin man sitting opposite with his eyes closed in thought, and said anxiously, "Brother, what should we do? I don't know how Wolf Spider got lucky this time, and he actually came back to life. Now that Wumen and Qianye have all left, our alliance plan..."
"Calm down." The tall and thin man, the leader of Snake Fang, Yuan Peng, opened his eyes, looked at him coldly, and said, "The alliance can still be formed, just add wolf spiders. Don't be too short-sighted. Our real goal is to destroy them. Eating wolf spiders is just a temporary idea."
Xi Fan looked worried and said, "Brother, what you said makes sense, but...but the latest branches have not had time to be equipped with corresponding facilities, and the ammunition inventory is not enough. After the Nine Eagles and the Ghost Den were destroyed, we took over too much business, and some goods have not been prepared yet...The funding gap is too large, we need the resources of wolf spiders."
Yuan Peng frowned when he heard this, feeling a little unhappy. Goods and money, these are the two most important things that hinder the development of Snake Fang now. If it weren't for this, he would have developed Snake Fang to be on par with Mie.
He suppressed his unhappiness and thought for a while, then asked, "Haven't Wolf Spider and Zhang Zhuoyuan reached an agreement on reconciliation yet?"
Xi Fan nodded and replied, "Yes, it's normal for Lu Shan to be upset after being bitten for such a ridiculous reason this time. She is still arguing with Zhang Zhuoyuan and has even ignored the business that has been lifted from restrictions." "
I remember that a large batch of her goods was detained at the port?" Yuan Peng continued to inquire.
Xi Fan continued to nod, then suddenly thought of something, his movements stopped, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Brother, do you want to..."
"I can allow the wolf spider to be an ally." Yuan Peng interrupted him, his eyes flashing coldly, "but before that, it must be weaker. When we form an alliance, I must occupy an absolute dominant position."
...
On a bright and refreshing afternoon in autumn, Shi Jin covered Lian Jun's legs with a thin blanket and pushed him out of the villa.
"I've been stuck in the house for more than half a month, and I feel like I'm going to get mold. Let's relax today." Shi Jin stretched a little, sniffed the refreshing and soothing breeze on the island, and squinted his eyes comfortably.
Lian Jun looked at him from his wheelchair, held his hand, and said, "The economy of this island is mainly based on tourism and seafood. There are many specialty snack shops related to seafood. Do you want to try them?"
"You must try them!" Shi Jin nodded in approval, happily pushed his wheelchair, and walked towards the nearest snack shop.
Gua Er and Gua Liu followed behind them, one holding a small notebook and mumbling while calculating, and the other holding a cigarette in his mouth, observing the situation around him. Finally, after turning another corner, Gua Er couldn't stand Gua Liu's nagging anymore. He reached out and took his notebook and asked, "What are you mumbling about? It's like you're possessed."
Gua Liu hurriedly snatched the notebook back, touched it carefully, and said, "Don't wrinkle it. I'm making a list of items for Young Master Jun's wedding. Don't mess it up."
"Young Master Jun's wedding?" Gua Er's voice suddenly rose, attracting the attention of the "tourists" and "residents" passing by.
"What are you yelling about! If you keep doing this, I'll change the hexagram and you'll go back to guard the house!" Gua Liu patted him on the back of his head, signaling the "tourists" and "residents" around him to walk carefully, then carefully looked at Shi Jin and Lian Jun who were walking in front of him, and saw that they were not affected, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Young Master Jun has proposed to Young Master Shi, isn't it normal for me to prepare for this? You should also be serious and help me collect more information, such as what type of wedding Young Master Shi likes."
Gua Er was so scared that the cigarette in his mouth was about to fall off, and he said with a frown, "You're exaggerating. Young Master Jun said that we should wait until Shi Jin reaches the age before considering getting married. What's more, Three or four years, if you start preparing these now, aren't you afraid that the aesthetic trend will change again in four years, and all the things you prepare now will be outdated? "
Gua Liu was reminded by him, and then he realized that there was still this problem. Looking at the notebook in his hand, which was already filled with writing, his expression changed from time to time, and finally returned to firmness, saying: "Then I will list fewer fashionable elements and make more backup plans. Anyway, it's better to prepare early. I'm idle anyway, and I feel at ease if I find something to do."
I'm idle anyway... Gua Er choked up, thinking of how busy he and Gua Yi were, and said faintly: "It's good to work in logistics..."
Gua Liu looked at him expressionlessly and asked: "Then should I switch with you?"
"No, no, you are too old to work on the front line. We young people can do the hard work." Gua Er waved his hands quickly, not wanting to go to the back to deal with those trivial and troublesome things.
Gua Liu turned to him unhappily, and saw Lian Jun and Shi Jin buying snacks at the door of a snack bar in front of him. His expression warmed up, and he looked at them like a kind father for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped up again, frantically took out his phone to call Uncle Long, and said anxiously: "Oh no, I forgot to ask Jun Shao about his dietary taboos. Even if the snacks are made by our own people, we can't let Jun Shao eat them casually."
"Calm down, Shi Jin is paying attention." Gua Er held his shoulder and motioned to Shi Jin who was taking out a list from his pocket and looking through it. He stuffed the phone in his hand back into his pocket and said, "When it comes to taking care of Young Master Jun, none of us are as meticulous as Shi Jin."
Gua Liu looked at Shi Jin and saw that he not only took out a list and looked at it, but also went to the store owner to ask in detail about the ingredients for the snacks. He gradually felt at ease and clenched the small notebook in his hand. He said, "It seems that I can only repay Young Master Shi with a grand wedding!"
Gua Er took back his hand without saying anything, and said, "Don't let Young Master Jun hear what you said. Be careful that Young Master Jun misunderstands that you are trying to pry him under."
Gua Liu simply ignored his voice.
Shi Jin had no idea that someone was already worried about his wedding. He was happily putting away the food taboo list, and walked back to Lian Jun to take the snacks from his hand. He picked up a string and stuffed it into Lian Jun's hand, saying, "You can eat it, but it's too oily. You can only eat one string."
"Okay." Lian Jun was very obedient and said, "Don't eat too much either. There are many other snack shops in the back. Be careful not to run out of food." Shi Jin
said confidently, "Don't worry. I have a good appetite. I can eat a lot!"
The two of them walked around and ate. The more Shi Jin looked around, the more he was amazed. He said, "The scenery here is really nice, and the air is good. I remember Gua Liu said that at least three blocks nearby are inhabited by people from the branch. It's amazing that the branch members and local residents can be integrated to this extent. To this extent, even if these people are completely exterminated, they can still live well independently." It's really hard to imagine that the residents and shop owners along the road just now are all members of a violent organization who can pick up weapons and fight at any time.
"The scope of three blocks seems to be very large... Are there ordinary residents living here?" He asked curiously.
Lian Jun shook his head and said, "No, but some of the organization members' families and orphans also live here. The environment and location of this island are good, and the safety level is high, which is more suitable for them to live."
Shi Jin looked at the branch members who were no different from ordinary people, and couldn't help but bend down and kiss Lian Jun, saying, "Baby is really amazing!" You can run a violent organization like this.
Swish, swish, swish, the "tourists" and the bosses and employees of the shops along the way stopped their actions when they saw this scene, with silly expressions.
Lian Jun quickly raised his hand to hold Shi Jin's head to prevent him from looking up, and gave a warning glance at his subordinates who had poor acting skills. When they all looked away, he leaned over to kiss Shi Jin on the forehead, let him go and said
, "I'm not great. If it weren't for me, some people here wouldn't have lost their loved ones." "There's nothing we can do about it." Shi Jin sighed, stood up and continued to push him forward, saying, "In your position, you've done a good job."
Lian Jun didn't say anything, but reached out and shook his hand.
...
The three blocks were indeed very large, and Shi Jin and Lian Jun spent a whole afternoon walking around before they finished. The street outside was also very busy, as if a film crew had come here to film, attracting a large number of tourists. However, Shi Jin did not go outside. After walking around her own territory, she immediately pushed Lian Jun back to the villa and focused on studying while accompanying Lian Jun to work. She never mentioned going out to play again.
Another two days passed, and finally there was news from Lu Shan - Snake Fang had made a move, and it seemed that he wanted to rob the batch of goods that Wolf Spider was preparing to withdraw from the port.
"Although your batch of goods is valuable, it is not enough for Sheya's current funding gap." Lian Jun analyzed calmly and instructed, "Pay attention to the treasure island. Sheya may move there. I sent Gua San and Gua Wu there. You can ask them for help when necessary. There is no need to waste time on Zhang Zhuoyuan. Accept his conditions and cooperate with him to stabilize the economy of G Province. Contact the leaders of Wumen and Qianye, take the initiative to negotiate an alliance with them, and get closer to them."
Lu Shan responded, hung up the phone in a hurry and went to work.
Finally, after arranging the business, Lian Jun put down his phone and rubbed his eyebrows. He instinctively glanced at the place where Shi Jin usually did his homework, but he didn't see anyone. He was stunned for a moment, frowned, and slid his wheelchair out of the desk.
There was no one in the study, living room, kitchen, bedroom, or garden. No one knew where Shi Jin had gone. Lian Jun's brows furrowed more and more. Suddenly, he thought of something and moved his wheelchair toward the bedroom again. He walked
through the bedroom, into the balcony, and then onto the long bridge.
At the end of the long bridge, Shi Jin stood alone on the edge of the bridge, looking toward the place where the beach and the sea meet. He looked very lonely.
Lian Jun's heart tightened when he saw this. He stopped the wheelchair and immediately sped up. He got off the wheelchair after getting close to Shi Jin. He hugged Shi Jin's waist from behind, tightened his arms, and asked, "Do you want to go to the sea to play? I'll accompany you." Shi
Jin came back to his senses, looked at him sideways, and asked with a smile, "Why did you come out? Did you finish chatting with Aunt Lu?"
Lian Jun felt more guilty when he heard this. He remembered that they had been on the island for so long, but they only went outside once at Shi Jin's request and had not yet left the branch. He felt distressed and said, "I'm sorry, I've been busy with work and haven't been with you properly."
"What do you mean by accompany or not... Are you imagining things again?" Shi Jin saw through his thoughts at a glance, pointed to the direction he was looking at with a smile, and said, "I came here to see the excitement. Gua Liu said that a film crew came here along the beach and wanted to borrow our private beach to shoot a fight scene and a scene of falling into the sea. Gua Liu directly refused, but the crew kept asking and is still waiting outside."
Film crew filming?
Lian Jun looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw a few people standing outside the private beach security fence a little further away, talking to the security guards outside the fence.
