The next morning.
The resolute police arrived at Dynasty Villa No. 1 and took out a search warrant, intending to find a man named Bowen inside and take him away for questioning.
Levi asked them to go in and search, search at will, because there was no one named Bowen inside. In addition, Levi also hired a group of senior lawyers at a high price. If the police wanted to ask him anything, he would remain silent and let the lawyers negotiate.
After searching every corner of the villa, the police naturally found nothing.
The leader glared at Levi angrily: "Where is he? That Bowen is obviously your villa steward, how come he can't see him?"
Levi shrugged, and the lawyer next to him came forward and said, "Sir, please don't speak to my client like that. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I will answer on my client's behalf."
"Walk!"
The man left angrily with his men, never expecting that such a carefully planned and secret operation would end in failure.
…
The following days.
The situation is developing in an increasingly depressing and solemn direction.
The fire safety issues at Dark Energy's battery factory have been taken seriously. People are sent to inspect every week to point out hidden dangers and ask the factory to make improvements... These instructions and suggestions have not affected the normal operation of the factory. They are for the safety of the workers and have no malicious intent.
In addition, it is said that the antitrust department is collecting materials and data to see whether Dark Energy Company has deliberately manipulated the price of Type 1 high-energy batteries and whether there have been counter-cyclical price fluctuations that harm the interests of consumers. However, considering that the Type 1 high-energy battery has been on the market for less than half a year, the high initial price is understandable, even though some consumers have reported that Dark Energy is engaging in monopoly, resulting in high prices for high-energy batteries and complaints.
But looking at the limited production capacity of battery factories and the phenomenon of price increases and rush buying in the market, the current high price of high-energy batteries is completely the result of automatic adjustment based on the supply and demand relationship. After all, you may not be able to afford it because it is too expensive, but others can afford it... There is no problem with Dark Energy Company.
Of course, even if the antitrust department does not find any problems in its investigation, it is still necessary to remind Dark Energy Company to solve the problem of insufficient high-energy battery production capacity as soon as possible. In addition, based on the continuous decline in production costs, it should slightly lower the ex-factory price of high-energy batteries and avoid taking actions that obviously harm the interests of consumers... This constructive reminder is also out of good intentions and is absolutely not malicious.
Another thing is that, according to the time, Levi's work visa seems to be about to expire.
The validity period is until June 31, 2023.
Just over four months left.
If he does not apply for an extension in advance, once the validity period expires, he will be considered an illegal resident and will be forcibly deported if discovered.
After thinking about it, Levi called Shu Yuhui in the capital and asked her to help renew his visa, preferably for another three years.
However, when Shu Yuhui and two assistants went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Liaison Office to handle the matter, a smiling, high-ranking staff member suddenly appeared, led Shu Yuhui and the others to a special office, handed them tea, and then enthusiastically proposed a better suggestion:
"Given Mr. Li Wei's achievements and contributions, there is no need for him to apply for a visa renewal. He remains one of our most welcome outstanding talents."
"Moreover, most of Mr. Levi's career is here. His personal development and the development of Xia Country are closely intertwined and related. It is impossible to cut or separate them. Mr. Levi is not only the pride of Gambia, but also the pride of Xia Country!"
"So, in order to allow Mr. Li Wei to develop better and more conveniently in Xia Country, we suggest that Mr. Li Wei be naturalized as a Xia citizen and become a Xia descendant! Take root in this big family, prosper together, and grow together! Let's work together to create greater glory for our country and nation!"
After hearing this, Shu Yuhui was immediately moved.
She thought the suggestion was great, so she picked up her phone and called Levi to ask for his opinion.
"Become a Xia citizen and become a Xia descendant?"
Levi shook his head repeatedly. He was a pure alien, so why would he become a Xia citizen? He immediately refused, "No need. I'm not interested in that. I'm just asking if my visa can be renewed. If it can, then I'll renew it. If not, forget it. Let's not talk about irrelevant topics."
"All right."
Shu Yuhui had no choice but to go back to Levi's visa and ask whether it could be renewed.
Unexpectedly, the staff member said, "Renewal? No problem, absolutely no problem! It's just a matter of a word. We can give you a long-term work and residence permit for foreigners. But it's still early, and Mr. Li Wei's visa hasn't expired yet. When it's about to expire, you can call me to let me know. We will immediately renew it for you and send it to you by express delivery. You don't even need to come in person."
He patted his chest vigorously and assured, "Don't worry, Mr. Li Wei is our most valued VIP. I serve him exclusively. You never have to worry about any problems with his visa. Of course, I still suggest that the permanent solution is to have Mr. Li Wei registered as a Xia citizen. This will save a lot of trouble..."
"All right."
Shu Yuhui nodded and went back with great relief.
…
And what about Levi?
He now vaguely realized that there might be some problems with the visa.
As for being incorporated into the Xia nationality, damn, why do people always bring this up? He is the emperor of the Dark Empire, not a Xia descendant. Why should he be incorporated into the nationality of an indigenous country? Isn't this intentionally offending him?
But then I saw the situation at the battery factory.
And in the Dark Association, many members gave him some not-so-good feedback, and even suggested that he make concessions and give up part of the cake.
Now, when it comes to visa renewal, although we hear assurances from people, who can guarantee that it is 100% reliable and that there is no trickery at all?
Blind trust is not advisable. The only person you can trust is yourself... Levi had already learned a profound lesson in this regard.
what to do?
What should I do next?
Levi thought about it and considered that his company, factory, and the results of his hard work in the past few years were all here in Xia Country. If he suddenly left, it might cause huge chaos and even allow others to take advantage of the situation.
He had to arrange and handle everything properly so that he would have no worries before he could leave... After all, everything he had now was not to help others!
However, in the process of making arrangements, he also had to prevent certain forces from becoming desperate and impatient to deal with him.
Thinking of this, a bold idea came to his mind:
"It seems... it's been a long time since I did a live broadcast?"
"He used to have tens of millions of fans, but now he doesn't know if he has 500,000?"
"It seems like I have to start over as a new anchor and put on some performances for my fans and viewers to spend what may be my last few months in Xia Country."
