Since the wire mesh fence around his house was installed by the property management company and Shen Yanming didn't know about it, he called Chen Shunwei.
Chen Shunwei said he didn't know either and would have to ask someone at the property management office before calling Shen Yanming back.
While waiting, Zhu Shiliang's colleagues in the office kept bombarding him with questions.
"Boss, why don't you ask where you bought the chicks? Why are you putting up that wire mesh?"
"Yeah, boss, I didn't even notice if you hadn't pointed it out. You spotted Qiao An's video in just the last quick glance. You have amazing eyesight!"
"Boss, tell us what you're thinking!"
Zhu Shiliang looked at the people surrounding him and laughed, "That's why I say none of you are as capable as Shen Yanming. Look, it's been more than a year, and you're all still so naive."
Zhu Shiliang didn't answer directly, but looked at Shen Yanming and said, "Xiao Shen, why don't you tell everyone why we installed barbed wire?"
Shen Yanming did not refuse, but there was still some reservation in his words, "Well, the community property management company is installing it for everyone, so I signed up."
I was thinking that after the global rainy and dry seasons, Qinghua Kingdom has had almost no food income this year. We have been eating the country's grain reserves, but we can't keep eating like this forever.
That's the significance of dividing the land: it allows everyone to earn their own living, and whether they can have enough to eat in the future depends on their abilities and also on fate.
I feel that fate is unpredictable, and we're all in the same boat. But how to put it... what if this year's fate prevents us from having a good harvest? Wouldn't some people try to sabotage us?
Shen Yanming smiled sheepishly. "When I was little, I was naughty and I used to pick corn cobs from other people's fields with my friends. So I'm petty and afraid that someone will come to my field to steal corn in the future."
"The soil on my land was already poor, and the yield was low. If we let others... then Joan and I would go hungry."
Zhu Shiliang nodded, "I'm also afraid that someone will steal grain from our land. Before, everyone's life was good, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Everyone thought about it and realized it made sense, so they were all somewhat tempted.
At this moment, Yu Shui came out, rubbing his forehead, and poured cold water on the situation, saying, "This barbed wire isn't very useful. If someone really wanted to steal, wouldn't they just climb over the barbed wire to get in?"
Zhu Shiliang was speechless. "Does that mean I just want some psychological comfort?!"
"Okay, okay, you're the boss, you can do whatever you want!"
Yu Shui nodded obsequiously, then muttered, "If the Shen family installs it all, they can at least protect themselves from backstabbers. If others do, they'll probably just become sitting ducks."
Zhu Shiliang... I really want to beat Yu Shui up, he's so hurtful!
However, what Yu Shui said actually makes some sense. It seems he needs to think about it carefully. He might have to persuade others to install barbed wire with him.
Bi Qiaoan watched as Director Zhu's expression changed repeatedly, and seeing Yu Shui's silly antics, she covered her mouth and secretly laughed.
Shen Yanming also felt that what Yu Shui said was very likely to happen, so he said, "Director, what Yu Shui said is really possible. In our community, the land we were allocated is right under our noses, and there are more than a dozen cameras installed. There are also security guards patrolling regularly. Even so, no one feels safe."
"If nothing unexpected happens this year, then everyone's fine. But if everyone else's land gets robbed, and only yours is safe, then your fenced-off land will become an easy target, and in the end, you'll lose everything."
"There's nothing we can do. Our community isn't like yours, which is near the mountains. We were assigned to the suburbs, which is so far away that it takes one or two hours to get there and back."
But I'm content. Compared to those who have to travel two or three miles, I'm lucky.
It's so far away that I don't have time to work in the fields during the week; I can only make a trip there on weekends.
Ranran's grandma is always sighing at home, afraid that someone will mess with our land. Yesterday I saw Qiao An's Weibo post, and I thought installing a wire fence would put her at ease.
Zhu Shiliang sighed, then said with a wry smile, "It seems I'll have to go and persuade the others to install barbed wire."
A few minutes later, Shen Yanming's phone rang. After hanging up, Shen Yanming told Zhu Shiliang the information he had received.
Chen Shunwei had asked the property management office very carefully, so the note Shen Yanming gave Zhu Shiliang not only included the phone number but also the unit price and group purchase price...
----------
In the Imperial Capital Qinghe Alliance office, the Li City Alliance Chief finally received the report sent by the research institute.
This time, Dean Xu was thoughtful. While delivering the report, he also sent over a dozen portions of spices to General Li, though the quantities were very small.
"Tests have shown that this fragrance contains no harmful substances. Long-term use can relieve fatigue, eliminate anxiety, reduce depression, relax the mind, aid sleep, and has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting effects..."
At the same time, this fragrance is effective in repelling dozens of insects, including mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, ants, and bedbugs.
Looking at the report, General Li dialed his secretary's number and said, "Tell them to have a meeting in an hour."
An hour later, bigwigs in pink, red, and even black walked into the conference room.
You know, when you don't compare people side by side, you don't really notice, but once you're all crammed into a meeting room, wow, they're practically a color palette.
Among the group of big shots, only Chief Alliance Officer Li was fair-skinned. Although Chief Alliance Officer Li wanted to laugh at the group of small fry, he couldn't help but cough involuntarily in the face of the big shots' murderous gazes. One shouldn't be too arrogant.
"Take a look at the report on the new products from the research institute." General Li had his secretary make more than a dozen copies of the report and distribute them during the meeting.
"Hey, the research institute has finally started doing something! I thought our Qinghua Research Institute would just be a decoration forever!"
"What are you saying? Our research institute is quite impressive. Every research result we achieve is world-leading."
"Hey, I was wrong, okay? The research institute is pretty impressive, but their broken Sunshine project hasn't made any progress so far."
"Look at me, how dark I am! You all sit in offices all day, and even if you're affected a little, you don't change much. But look at me, how different am I from a lump of coal?"
After he finished speaking, the big shot widened his eyes and forced a smile, deliberately revealing his white teeth, which contrasted sharply with his dark cheeks.
This action made everyone burst into laughter. After they had finished laughing, they continued to look at the report. As for the big shot's problem, they were powerless to help.
After watching it, one of the big shots scratched his arm excitedly and asked, "Boss, is this for real?"
General Li stood up abruptly, turned around so everyone could see clearly, and said, "Before the report came out, I asked Lao Xu for some samples to use. As you can see, I didn't have a single bag on me."
Li Zongmengguan's tone was filled with undisguised smugness, but as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that all the bigwigs present were glaring at him fiercely.
