In fact, Qin Che had already sent a telegram to Sand Rat, asking him to take a position in the cabinet. He had spent enough time in Sand Castle and his qualifications were sufficient, so no one would say anything if he joined the cabinet.
But the gerbil declined twice.
It's because he believes that the successor he's trying to cultivate hasn't yet met the required standards.
But this time, the gerbil agreed to join the cabinet.
Qin Che didn't say much, but simply called him over for a talk.
Currently, there seems to be no problem with sandcastles. Moreover, due to the abundance of economic products, various sandcastle specialties are booming and attracting a lot of attention. Numerous industrial chains have converged on these products, resulting in many people achieving upward social mobility.
Most of them come from the underworld.
It's only been a few years since the underworld turned the tables and became the masters of the streets.
But it gives people the feeling of a huge change, which broke out in an instant, catching people completely off guard.
The newly appointed elder of the Political Academy was named Lü Song, a disciple of the Sand Rat.
...
Qin Che and Xiao Shitou found the peach.
She has changed quite a bit over the years.
But she has grown into a plump and healthy woman, completely different from the thin and frail body she had when I first met her.
Seeing the peaches reminded Qin Che of Xue Lei, who had died suddenly.
If this underworld official hadn't died, he would probably be a prominent figure by now. Even if he wasn't capable enough, Qin Che would have made him a master, at least ensuring his lifelong wealth and status.
What a pity...
Xue Lei was the only one who knew his identity and background.
I also witnessed firsthand the scene of Qin Che's rampage that night after he attained the extraordinary.
"Master...Master?!"
The moment Taozi saw Qin Che, her eyes welled up with tears.
She never dreamed that Qin Che would actually bring Xiao Shitou home.
Although Little Stone mentioned it many times in his letters, Peach never held out any hope.
Qin Che glanced at where Taozi lived. It was a wealthy area, a large mansion with three courtyards and three entrances. From the house, one could see the oasis and artificial lake in the first district.
The government tower stands there, blocking the sun, yet it exudes a sense of majesty.
Even in wealthy neighborhoods, this place is extremely expensive.
A house here represents the entire life's worth of wealth for many crocodile heads.
Qin Che laughed and said, "Little Peach, you're different from before, you've gained weight."
Xiao Tao blushed.
Little Stone rushed into her arms the moment they met.
She even remembers the time when Sister Xiaotao taught her to read.
And during her training at the Sandcastle military camp, Sister Tao would often come over to treat her, bringing her delicious food and drinks.
"Yes, back then, I... was still very thin."
Qin Che: ……
He glanced at the room where Peach lived.
"The scenery here is quite nice, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
He didn't actually need to ask; the intelligence department already had files on many things.
Peach is still in the flesh and blood business, but at its peak, she became the largest flesh and blood crocodile head seller in the entire eastern desert.
She controls many stalls and people. With the backing of Sand Rat and Li Jiuyuan, no one dares to refuse her profits. They all accepted being swallowed up by Peach, and then it snowballed to its current state.
Whether in the high-end market or at low-end stalls, peaches are always a top seller.
Everyone who sees her calls her "Big Boss".
Qin Che didn't care what Taozi was known to outsiders.
"Well...it didn't cost much." Peach smiled and called over a servant to entertain them.
Little Stone asked, "How long has Sister Peach lived here? Why is she still alone?"
"Sigh, I'm used to being alone." Peach blushed and sat up straight on the opposite side.
No matter how powerful she was as a boss, she never changed her attitude in front of the master.
The servants were stunned, none of them daring to look up, only secretly shocked in their hearts.
The big boss was surprisingly reserved and gentle with the man in front of him, making him seem much more adorable.
In fact, Taozi understood Qin Che's status and knew that nothing could happen between them. It was just a pity that she hadn't taken that step with Qin Che before he became successful.
Thinking about it now, it's impossible.
The master never touched her.
This sense of inferiority will likely accompany Peach throughout her life.
But she was very fortunate to have met such a great benefactor as Qin Che.
Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today.
Little Stone and Peach reminisced about the past, while Qin Che sat opposite them on the sofa.
The specifications and quality of this sofa alone are probably no less than the furniture in his royal residence in Leopard Court.
The house was decorated and furnished in an extremely luxurious style.
Peach understands elegance.
Over the years, she has taken good care of herself and become quite plump, a true lady of leisure. It's just that she is still not married. Why doesn't she find a man?
We chatted about everyday things.
Let's get down to business.
"I heard that the current head of the Sandcastle Government is a man named Lü Song. Sand Rat told me that he is his disciple. Do you know him?"
Peach was taken aback, then nodded, her expression becoming much more serious.
“I know this person. Before Boss Gerbil went to Leopard Court, he had been training him and regarded him as a key figure. His abilities are also outstanding, and he has never disappointed Boss Gerbil. But this person…”
At this point, Peach hesitated.
Qin Che smiled and said, "Take your time and don't hold back. I'm not here to handle anything, just to chat."
Peach nodded and said, "He's a rather ruthless person, especially towards his opponents; he shows no mercy whatsoever."
Why do you say that?
“Previously, he had a political rival who was also running for the position of Executive Yuan elder, a fellow townsman from the Black Street, and an old friend of the Sand Rat. However, due to conflicting interests, Lü Song tried every means to kill the other party. You can definitely find out the specifics. I didn’t have much contact with him, but I know the result: that political rival was framed by him, and his whole family was killed.”
