Chapter 33
Lu Chao is really gone.
For half a month, even though Zhan Mu stayed at home every day, he didn't see him show up, because he was busy doing food broadcasts and researching food, and had no time to play games on Juejing. Even though he knew that the small fluid cube was in the corner, he was too lazy to pay attention to it.
Like? Haha, this is too cheap for a cold-hearted person like Zhan Mu.
He liked Lu Chao's face, but that was all. It was good enough if they could chat and be friends for two or three minutes. If Zhan Mu wasn't lonely and wanted to get an electronic duck to play with, he wouldn't be so kind to a stranger.
Thinking of this, Zhan Mu rolled his eyes in anger, snorted coldly, kicked the small liquid cube with his toes, and kicked it directly under the bed, not wanting to look at it again.
There are now only three people in their gaming group.
An Jing: I haven’t seen Lu Chao for a long time. Where has he been?
Zhan Mu: Dead.
Bian Lu: Damn, Captain Zhan, are you really hating him?
Zhan Mu: (picking his nose) Are you kidding me? He is him and I am me. What he does is none of my business.
Zhan Mu: By the way, where do you two work? It seems like you're just playing games every day.
Lawyer Bian: Not really. I work when I'm supposed to, and only play games after work. I'm just an ordinary employee in a state-owned enterprise.
An Jing: I recently saw your account. Are you quitting gaming and becoming a food streamer? The stats look pretty good. Keep it up.
Zhan Mu: My fan count just broke 10,000, and I don't even have any business orders, so I can't make any money at all. Brothers, I'm very poor.
Bian Lu: Don’t panic. You have just entered society. It is normal that you cannot make a choice for a while. I didn’t figure out the direction of my life until I was 27 or 28 years old.
An Jing: He met me when he was 28 years old. If he wasn’t in a relationship with me, he would probably still be dependent on Lan Zhou. Haha.
Bian Lu: "Haven't I worked hard myself? You're the only one who's awesome, you prince? Didn't you also come to Xia Country because you couldn't make it in Lanzhou? I'm really impressed. You're still from An Country."
Zhan Mu was so angry that he almost cried out in anger, then he silently took out a Coke.
"Yeah, I'm a fucking immigrant, so what? I'll just go wherever the moon is fuller, so what? What's it to you?"
Sure enough, An Jing was also blown out. Zhan Mu found that these two guys had become familiar with him and now they didn't even pretend.
"Lv Bian, you're so patriotic, you should just go to hell with Lanzhou! Wow! Lanzhou! An underwater base! You're just pretending to be so noble. Didn't your family go into the sea because they saw Lanzhou's potential? People go where there's money, and your family is the same. What right do you have to sing?"
Zhan Mu was shocked. He didn't expect that their world was so rich. When they exposed each other's secrets, they cursed each other so harshly. Ha, it turned out that this was the elegant way of communication among the powerful.
Suddenly I felt balanced.
Zhan Mu wanted to interrupt, but found that An Jing and Bian Lu had already fallen into a heated argument. They disliked each other and exchanged many voice messages, each of which lasted for more than a minute.
This is true love.
They know everything about each other's lives, which is definitely true love.
Zhan Mu was too lazy to listen, so he switched to voice and browsed through it roughly.
The two seemed like a real couple, discussing everything from family matters to social conflicts and even current political news, and finally returning to the immigration issue that had sparked their conflict...
Zhan Mu felt like his left and right brain were fighting each other.
Lawyer Bian: My family works in engineering, thank you. To be more precise, I went to sea in response to Deng Zhengming's call. Brother, brother, do you understand me? I'm a native of Lanzhou. If I don't speak for Lanzhou, who else can I speak for?
Bian Lu: I knew that Blue Continent was closed, that it was isolating itself from the outside world, and that it was violently suppressing people. So it was only after I left that I realized it, felt guilty, and wanted to turn around and call on the people to wake up. I am a fucking empathetic person.
An Jing: Haven't I done this before? I used to work on ideological and political education. Damn, I was even banned by Blue Island! Who will thank me?!
Zhan Mu: I am a native Xia national, who is Deng Zhengming?
An Jing: He is just a historical figure, or at least the founder of Blue Continent.
An Jing: Really, Mr. Bian, I'm not saying that I dislike Blue Island, but think about it carefully. Now that you have received compulsory education and have your own judgment, can't you see the absurdity of the Blue Island base?
Zhan Mu: Yes, I understand. The gap between the rich and the poor is huge, people’s thinking is backward, and class stratification is difficult to overcome. But... is it useful for me to be the only one who sees the social ills of a country?
An Jing: Yeah, you can't change, so what else can you do besides run things? You have no right to blame me. I've been traveling all over the world since I was a kid, so I don't really have any such thing as loving my country. So what? So what?
Zhan Mucao said, "Awesome."
Lanzhou makes money and Xia Guohua is worthy of being a mixed-blood Tianlongan.
Bian Lu: (thumbs up)
Zhan Mukan smiled and suddenly said, "It's better than the entertainment industry."
An Jing: @The Foot-Picking Man Zhan Mu, do you have fluorescent disease?
Zhan Mu: I didn’t win. My family was strict and conservative. At that time, I was still studying in high school in the countryside. New things like fruit cigarettes and poetry powder were not popular in our area.
Zhan Mu: Well, after listening to what my two buddies said, I became more and more determined about my ideal, which is, I want to be rich. Really, I think money is so fucking important.
An Jing: Hey, let me show you a way. I overheard our leader saying on a phone call that there are several villages near your Wanzhou County that may be converted into highways in the future.
Zhan Mu: How the hell can you say that?
An Jing: Haha, why can’t I tell you? You don’t know yet, but people who already have inside information have already spent money to buy land.
Bian Lu: Including you? (Big eyes)
An Jing: Please, I don't need that little money anymore. I'm an enemy from another country, I'm half Puyi, I'm lucky enough to not starve to death. I don't covet that little money, my life is more important to me.
Bian Lu: My life was ordinary before I met Teacher An. Ever since I clung to him, my life has become like walking on thin ice.
Zhan Mu: @英帅潇洒的老师 An You are my benefactor, my benefactor. But what should I do, Teacher An?
An Jing: You buy land for agriculture, or buy a commercial street to rent out, or directly open a factory or something. Oh, I don’t understand either. If the policy changes, I won’t be able to explain it clearly.
Bian Lu: @抠脚大汉 No, can you really afford it?
Zhan Mu: Life is short, why not give it a try? (Dog head laughs)
In real life, Zhan Mu suddenly had an idea, curled his lips into an evil smile, and remembered his grandparents' land.
After the conversation ended, Zhan Mu started browsing the official Wanzhou government website. It was amazing! He saw the city plan for six years from now—oh my god! This guy is really going to get rich!
It also includes Laojun Village where his grandparents live.
This is a windfall!
Zhan Mu was so excited that he almost jumped up, but then he calmed down and thought about it. The problem was that his grandparents had five children. If the policy was implemented, the family would probably be in chaos because of the money.
But the reality is this: the eldest Zhan has been working away from home all year round, the second sister Zhan also married far away, the third Zhan opened a barber shop in Laojun Village, the fourth Zhan, that is, Zhan's father, opened a supermarket in Wanzhou, and only their fifth uncle Zhan was rich, he was a businessman who ran a factory.
This matter must not be told! Zhan Mu was determined.
Another problem is that Grandpa Zhan and Grandma Zhan are still alive in six years. If the land is really occupied, whether it is the house or the money, they will definitely favor their children with whom they have a good relationship. In other words, the son of Zhan Lao San, Zhan Ba, will have no competition...
An Jing is right. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. It is better to spend your own money to buy land for agriculture, or open a factory or something.
So, that night, Zhan Mu, who had always been out of touch with his grandparents, called them and expressed his deepest condolences.
"Ah? A local boss has already contracted your land to grow grapes?!" Zhan Mu's heart was almost broken.
"Why are you asking this? Is your father going to Xiangbatou to do business?" Grandma Zhan obviously didn't believe that this was Zhan Mu's idea, nor did she believe that he had the ability to start a business.
"I feel that it's too hard to find a job in the city. I can't compete, so I might as well go back to my hometown to develop. You two are old, and there's no one to look after you in that old, dilapidated house. What if the tiles collapse and fall on you and hurt you two?"
Zhan Mu was really impressed by his own words, and he appealed to his emotions, saying, "My dad has been doing business in Wanzhou all these years. Yes, he doesn't have the time to be with you and fulfill his filial duties like my third dad did. Haha, I haven't found a job recently anyway, so I'll come to accompany you two and explore a new way of life."
But it made Grandma Zhan smile happily, and she chatted with Zhan Mu for a long time about all sorts of family matters.
Zhan Mu nodded, thinking a lot in his mind.
It turned out that the boss who came to Laojun Village to grow grapes was only in his early forties and was also a college student. He had been doing it for almost four years and had not made any money. There was no way out. He had invested money, time and energy and had no way to get out, so he could only keep going.
Now we are trapped and have to do it anyway.
"Oh my God, what did he do before? Why did he get so excited as to work in agriculture?" Zhan Mu clicked his tongue twice, feeling heartbroken when he heard that the boss was about to lose 3 million yuan.
"He used to film TV shows for people, so I don't know." Grandma Zhan didn't understand and said, "I heard there are videos of him posted on Douyin."
After hanging up the phone, Zhan Mu immediately searched for it on Douyin and found it. It was called "Brother Qiang's Farm." He took a quick look and found that it was indeed well-made. Unfortunately, there were only a few repeated videos. However, the comments below were very sincere.
Rose: I've been there, it doesn't feel like a farm stay at all, parking is hard to find, and the grapes are sour, so stay away.
Zi Han’s mother: The transportation is inconvenient. The place looks like a celebrity spot in the photos. But after I went there, I realized how terrible it is and not fun.
The vast horizon is my love: how can you grow grapes in a place with so little water? I bought half a pound when I passed by last time. I was carsick the whole way after eating it. I don’t know how much pesticide was used...
Zhan Mu felt worried for his boss and continued to watch the video of Brother Qiang’s farm. He actually found her in the camera. It was a girl, short, thin and dark. She was wearing a sun hat and walking under the grape vines. She looked very lonely.
Comment section: Wow, Sister Hong is so hot, why are you still doing it?
Brother Qiang’s Farm: (covering his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry) Yes, grapes need to be sprayed with pesticides, unlike you guys who don’t mind. Are there many people fishing in the fish farm recently?
Comment area: I am just doing business for fun, I can't make any money, you guys should work harder. (Flowers) (Thumbs up)
Zhan Mu was overwhelmed with emotions. He sighed, suddenly fell onto the bed and looked at the ceiling. Finally, he murmured, "If I really go back to the countryside to develop, is it really right?"
