Ling Tianji shrunk his neck and was unable to think too much. He asked the driver to drive to the West Third District. After getting out of the car, he passed the security check and rushed inside.
After adapting to high temperatures for so long, the sudden experience of low temperatures felt like a trip to an ice world, and I almost died.
The temperature dropped so suddenly, there was no sign at all before.
It was not until they stepped into the jurisdiction of the West Third District and were enveloped by the warm and comfortable air that Ling Tianji felt alive again.
I had only heard about the magical properties of the Taoyang protective shield before, but had never experienced it myself, so my feelings about it were not very deep.
Today he truly experienced the benefits of having a protective shield.
The more Ling Tianji thought about it, the more itchy he felt. Looking at the surrounding buildings, the sourness in his eyes almost burst out.
The other people who were accompanying them also raised their heads to look at the sky. Although they could see nothing, they seemed to have seen something extraordinary and their mouths were open as if they had never seen the world before.
Zhuo Ercheng quickly took off his cumbersome clothes and grabbed a random resident of the West Third District who was passing by:
"Hello, I'd like to ask, when was this place built?"
The residents are probably still in the excitement of living in their new homes, and they said enthusiastically and proudly:
"You don't even know this? Are you from another base? Construction was completed yesterday. The high-rise residential complex over there is already packed with people. Those of us who already have existing homes can trade in new ones. I don't need to explain much about the houses built in Taoyang. Only the generous boss of Taoyang would be willing to trade in old for new."
Zhuo Ercheng and others were stunned when they heard this.
One of the accompanying Xindu bodyguards couldn't help but ask:
"What if they don't have a house?"
The residents said with great emotion:
"Those without housing can rent a place to stay. If you can't afford to rent a place, you can share a place or live in a dormitory. There are houses of all prices. If you really can't afford it, as long as you have arms and legs, you can join the army. It's a bit dangerous, but there are talent dormitories to live in, and you even get various allowances."
"These benefits were all suggested by Tao Yang. See those buildings at six o'clock? They're all for soldiers and their families. They don't require any money, but they provide subsidies. If I weren't in poor health, I would have been conscripted too."
The accompanying bodyguards were filled with envy when they heard this.
Although they are bodyguards, they are also military personnel of Xindu. They are strong and some of them are powerful psychics.
Apart from paying their normal wages and providing crystal cores when they advance, Xindu does not provide them with free welfare housing.
In the past, everyone thought that no base in the south was as well developed as their Xindu. As Xindu people, they felt proud from the bottom of their hearts.
Now that I hear it, this treatment doesn't seem that great.
Ling Tianji could see the envy in their eyes, and urged them with a stern face:
"Hurry up, everyone! Stop talking nonsense and change into something respectable. If anyone sees us, they'll think we've been in such a mess that we've run here for safety."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar female voice:
"Mr. Ling, President Zhuo?"
A group of men taking off their clothes suddenly froze.
Ling Tianji turned around mechanically and saw Su Tao and District Chief Xie and his group.
He greeted with a stiff smile:
"Miss Su, what a coincidence! I was just about to go to Taoyang to visit Manager Ma."
Su Tao, who was about to return to Taoyang after finishing the meeting, asked:
"What's going on with you? Just tell me."
Ling Tianji frowned: "Manager Ma is not here?"
He had the most contact with Ma Dapao and had a very good impression of this thin man. He was a smart, capable and tactful person. He made a lot of friends in just a few days at the summit and was able to deal with various giants with ease.
This made Ling Tianji preconceived that Ma Dapao was the one in power in Taoyang.
Su Tao shook her head: "No, he's been busy lately."
He was busy looking for various instruments for Shen Wencheng's research team, and also had to worry about the daily operations of Panliu Mountain and maintain Taoyang's various external relationships. He was extremely busy.
There must be nothing good coming from Xindu, so let her meet him in person.
Ling Tianji found it ridiculous.
If she weren't here, it wouldn't be the turn of a little girl to negotiate with them about lowering the price. Is there no one in Taoyang who can make the decision except Ma Dapao?
Zhuo Ercheng took a step forward and said politely to Su Tao:
"Miss Su, would you mind sitting down and chatting with me?"
When Su Tao saw him, she couldn't help but think of the treacherous and stupid Jiang Jinwei, and the cunning and acting Deng Zilu.
This man has a terrible taste in choosing a girlfriend.
Zhuo Ercheng keenly noticed the flash of disgust in her eyes?
He was stunned.
When did he become so disliked?
Su Tao: "Then please invite a few people to go to Taoyang and sit for a while."
After leaving the West Third District, Ling Tianji and his companions felt the fear of being dominated by the cold air again. When they arrived in Taoyang, they didn't care about etiquette and rushed into Taoyang first, finding the long-lost warmth.
Then I started sneezing like crazy and couldn't stop.
Su Tao couldn't talk to Ling Tianji the whole way because he was either sneezing or having a runny nose, obviously he had a cold.
After sitting in the office of Taoli Building and drinking hot tea, Ling Tianji felt much better.
This made him very depressed.
He came with great confidence, but the sudden change in temperature caused him to catch a cold and have a stuffy nose, which affected his negotiation skills.
"What's the matter with you two visiting me this time?" Su Tao asked calmly.
Ling Tianji was about to speak when a sneeze interrupted his words, leaving long snot hanging from the tip of his nose and mouth.
Zhuo Ercheng couldn't bear to watch it, so he turned to Su Tao and said:
"We have no other intention in coming here this time except to establish diplomatic relations with Taoyang. We had many unpleasant experiences in Xindu before, so please bear with us, Miss Su."
Ling Tianji wiped his nose and glared at Zhuo Ercheng.
What about the agreement to use a batch of weapons as an exchange to force Taoyang to lower the price?
Why did he come up and say he wanted to be friends with Taoyang, as if he had no ulterior motive?
They have big plans!
That batch of weapons were all discarded by Xindu. Although they are slightly outdated, Taoyang, a bare-bones city, will definitely value them.
Su Tao looked at Zhuo Ercheng in surprise: "Is President Zhuo serious? Is there anything else?"
Ling Tianji sniffed his nose and said, "Yes, slurp, it's like this, Taoyang's supplies recently-"
Before he could even utter the word "price increase", Zhuo Ercheng naturally took over his conversation:
"Taoyang's supplies have provided us with a lot of help. Without Taoyang, to be honest, Xindu would be facing a huge resource shortage. So this time we came mainly to express our gratitude. And here are some weapons we donated to Taoyang free of charge. Miss Su, please accept them for us. It can be regarded as a token of sincerity from Xindu."
Ling Tianji wanted to smear his snot on his face.
