Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Is there something gray around here...
Shen Muyun tossed and turned in bed, not knowing if it was because the events of the day were too passionate that made him unable to sleep. But when he thought about it, they were just a group of poor people, a vulnerable group. Were they being unreasonable, or was it that the Shen family really didn't do enough? Thinking of this, he took out his phone, looked at the pinned contacts, and couldn't help but send a message.
"Brother, I always feel that something is wrong with what happened today. I want to go and take another look."
The phone was silent for a long time, Shen Muyun threw it aside, turned over, but still couldn't sleep. It felt like something was pressing on his heart and he couldn't breathe.
"Muyun, I've sent their address to your phone. You can go and see it, but be careful. How about this? I'll send a few bodyguards over. You've seen them before, but they're not easy to deal with. I'm worried if you run into a group of them alone."
Shen Muyun looked at the news and thought for a while, "Brother, Nan Feng alone is enough. After all, extreme people are still a minority. If this kind of thing is exposed, it will really not benefit our Shen family."
Shen Liuyun sighed, looked at the message on his phone, then looked at Shen Wenjin's medical report on the table. He put his hands on his head and lowered his eyes, "Okay, be careful."
Shen Muyun finally fell asleep peacefully, but it was not peaceful. He was always troubled by bizarre dreams. Sometimes it was ancient times, sometimes modern times. But the only thing he could be sure of was that there was always a hazy figure in his dreams, like a man. His murmurs could be heard in his ears, as if he was saying something, but the voice was empty and could not be heard clearly.
By the time Chen Muyun was fully awake, it was already bright outside. The weather outside was not good, and the wind was quite strong, causing the leaves outside the window to sway constantly. The bay window was blown by the wind at some point, making a "clang clang" sound. He thought about it and thought that the sound of the train in the dream was most likely the sound of the wind. This was the reflection of reality into the dream.
Shen Muyun packed up his things and went downstairs. He saw Shen Wenjin still sitting there reading a newspaper as he had done yesterday, quiet and peaceful.
"Good morning, father."
When Shen Wenjin heard his voice, she put the newspaper aside and waved at him, "Muyun, come and sit for a while."
Shen Muyun was confused. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately sat down next to Shen Wenjin.
"Muyun, I have something to tell you. I chatted with Liuyun until late at night yesterday, and some things came to my mind."
Shen Muyun felt a little uneasy. He had never seen Shen Wenjin so calm before. He still remembered how serious Shen Wenjin looked on the cruise ship. It seemed as if he was disappointed with Shen Wenjin.
"This time I returned to China, in fact, it is related to my health. The future of Shen Group requires the concerted efforts of you two brothers."
Shen Muyun was suddenly shocked when he heard what Shen Wenjin said. No, according to the original main plot, Shen Liuyun was the heir. If Shen Wenjin arranged it this way, it would inevitably cause a disagreement between the two. "Father, I don't want to compete with my eldest brother."
Shen Wenjin paused, looked at Shen Muyun, and patted his shoulder. "Let's take a long-term view. Don't be too embarrassed. Think more about what you want to do in the future."
Shen Muyun nodded, "Well, father, I have to deal with the remaining issues of the company today, it's almost time."
Shen Wenjin waved, and Shen Muyun immediately stood up and waved, "Father, I'm going over."
Shen Muyun straightened his clothes slightly and left without looking back. He was crazy. The main plot of this world was crazy and becoming more and more out of control.
"System, tell me, why did Shen Wenjin suddenly change his attitude towards me?"
"Dear host, this question is a bit profound. As a system, my thinking ability is limited, but I think this may be a test."
Shen Muyun gripped the steering wheel tightly. That's right, Shen Wenjin is an old vixen, but he probably won't bet on the future of the Shen family.
"System, I think there's something fishy about this matter. Go check and see what exactly happened."
"Bingo, respected host, I'll check right away. Have a safe trip."
The system disappeared into the air, and Shen Muyun thought of many reasons. He had performed well recently, so he attracted attention, or it might be Shen Liuyun's active intercession. However, for this kind of thing, he still had to wait for the system's feedback.
After the system left, the place became much quieter. Shen Muyun began to think about the resettlement site. Perhaps, this investigation could really reveal something.
When Shen Muyun arrived at the resettlement site, he discovered that the environment was extremely harsh.
There was a pungent smell in the air, and the river water next to it was a strange pink color, probably because of the chemical plant.
Walking further, there seemed to be a market. The smell of rotten vegetables mixed with a fishy smell was even nauseating.
Shen Muyun remembered the relevant information that Secretary Chen brought over at that time. This group of people moved here five years ago. The chemical plant was built last year. 70% of the people have moved into the resettlement houses, and now only 30% are left, and they continue to hold on.
Shen Muyun looked around. There were not many people on the road, and those who were there were in a hurry. Although it was already autumn, the temperature rose suddenly. He felt a surge of heat after walking a few steps, and the sticky smell in the air made him cover his nose again and again.
Suddenly, a few guys with dyed yellow hair appeared in front and blocked people in the middle of the road. Shen Muyun wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but he was still blocked in the middle of the road.
"Hey, hey, hey, you over there, do you know the rules of the road? There are tolls on this road."
Shen Muyun didn't understand and looked around.
"Are you mistaken? When did this road start charging tolls?"
Several yellow-haired boys surrounded Shen Muyun. One of them held a knife and patted him lightly on the face. "Boy, you look so delicate and tender, you are not from here, right?"
One of them laughed even more devilishly, "Hahaha, look at him, he looks like someone asked him to come here, to be a duckling? Or something like that, guys, be straightforward! How much is it per hour? We haven't seen such a fresh-looking girl here for a while."
Shen Muyun felt uncomfortable with the smell on them. He covered his nose and thought about how to leave. He felt a little unhappy when listening to their words.
Chen Muyun's eyes dimmed a little. In places like this, there are quite a lot of unconventional things going on. He wondered if there was any gray industry chain. If he hadn't found any, he would have to investigate.
Just as he was about to attack a few people, he saw an uncle holding a palm-leaf fan coming from a distance.
"I'm telling you, you idle guys, what are you doing? This is the entrance to my store, don't come here and ruin my business! Go away!"
Shen Muyun looked back at the person coming and saw that it was a middle-aged man walking towards him with a staggering step.
He walked to the door of the store, grabbed a broom, and started beating up the hooligans. "Who told you to bully people here? Aren't people suffering enough here? Get out of here!"
Seeing that they couldn't get any benefits, a few hooligans spat at Shen Muyun, gave him the middle finger, and said dirty words, "Little white face, just wait for me, it's only a matter of time."
The fruit shop owner gestured a few times at the little yellow-haired guys, and finally they ran away.
Shen Muyun looked at the fruit stall nearby and saw that the fresh lychees looked pretty good.
"Boss, how much are these lychees?"
The boss flicked the palm-leaf fan in his hand, glanced at Shen Muyun, and pointed directly at the row of lychees in front. "The ones on the left are 15 yuan per catty, and the ones on the right are 20 yuan per catty. Young man, you are not a resident nearby, right? You are all regular customers at my fruit stall."
Chen Muyun casually pulled the plastic bag off his head and looked at the lychees. The ones on the left were soaked in water, some of them had broken skin, and the yellow flesh inside attracted waves of flies. It was really unhygienic. He looked at the ones on the right, which looked okay, with red skin and no insects on them. He picked a few at random.
"Boss, is the chemical factory here hiring a lot? I just had an interview a few days ago and will be starting work soon."
The boss immediately stood up and grabbed Shen Muyun's wrist, "Young man, you'd better listen to my advice and don't go to work in that chemical factory. Look at the river next to it, it's polluted. The factory recruits workers all year round, but several leave in a few days. I heard that some of them got leukemia and were released safely. There was also a mental disorder there."
Shen Muyun's hand stopped in the air, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Isn't it just to make a living that he chose such an environment.
"I can't help it, boss. No one else is willing to hire me. I have a low education and little strength. I can't go to the construction site. I've been to KTV, but I'm always teased by the customers. Just now, they..."
The boss looked at Shen Muyun, and seeing his delicate skin and tender flesh, it seemed that what he said was true.
"If you don't mind, you can work in my fruit shop for a few days, but this is not a charity. You can only work in my shop for a week at most. Business is not good, so I don't have that much money to give you."
Shen Muyun thought about it and felt that this was a good job. It would be a good opportunity to test what was happening here.
"Young man, do you have a place to stay?"
Shen Muyun shook his head. "If I didn't work in the chemical factory, I would have no place to live, and I wouldn't have much money. The rent in the surrounding area is also high."
"That's fine, you can just live in the fruit shop. Remember to find a job, this isn't a long-term solution."
Shen Muyun responded, she didn’t expect to meet such a kind person as soon as she arrived.
"Then boss, I'll pack my things and come over."
The fruit shop owner waved a palm-leaf fan at him, indicating that he could leave.
Shen Muyun looked at the lychees in his hand and asked, "Boss, how much is this?"
"It's free, I'll treat you to a meal."
Shen Muyun felt a little embarrassed and took a few lychees out of the plastic bag. The boss directly put the lychees back in for him.
"They've all been passed around. You see, the ones on the left have been touched and can't be sold anymore."
Shen Muyun was skeptical, but thought it was the boss's kindness, so he took it.
Shen Muyun left the stall and walked away, as if what happened yesterday had no impact on their lives.
Continuing forward, there is a pitifully small supermarket with all the stalls set up outside. I don’t know if it has a business license. The jars on the glass cabinets are filled with colorful candies and lollipops, and there are also some small toys in the glass cabinets. It seems that there are children here.
Shen Muyun lifted the curtain at the door, "Hua La."
"Hello, welcome, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shen Muyun looked at the shelf and said, "I can do it myself."
He walked to the shelf of daily necessities, and for a moment he felt that this was the world he used to live in, like the small shop downstairs from his home.
The shelves were packed to the brim, and some goods were placed on the ground, leaving only a narrow path. He casually picked up some things and said, "Boss, check out!"
"Madam, how long have you been here?"
"This is probably the fifth year now, and there are fewer and fewer people. Hey, did you buy those lychees at the fruit stand in front?"
Shen Muyun nodded, “Yes, I bought it there.”
"That's the one from my family. I haven't seen you before. Are you a new employee at the chemical plant?"
Shen Muyun nodded, "Well, I'm a new recruit. I listened to the boss over there and quit. I'll look for another one."
"Well, a total of 34, cash or Alipay?"
Shen Muyun took out his mobile phone and scanned the code directly.
"34 yuan has been credited to my Alipay account."
"Boss, do you know that someone caused trouble for Shen's yesterday?"
The proprietress sighed, "How could I not know? Those guys are my neighbors. They saw that nothing came of this incident, and they even got themselves involved."
Shen Muyun pursed his lips and looked at the state of the people here. He really didn’t know whether Shen was deliberately concealing it or someone was framing him.
"We were told not to act impulsively, but they acted impulsively. Those capitalists are not good people at all. The resettlement buildings have been sold as commercial housing, leaving us with nowhere to go. The ones left are all on bad floors. How can we choose?"
Shen Muyun sighed, "Boss lady, I have other things to do, but the boss over there said that I can live in the fruit shop and help out."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy, young man. You're still young. If you look for a job seriously, you'll find one."
