Ling Tianji pointed at him: "You, you——"
Then came another series of sneezes.
Su Tao couldn't help but sit further away, for fear of being sprayed by his saliva.
Zhuo Ercheng said calmly:
"Mr. Ling, I know you want to say that I'm right. This is our sincerity."
Su Tao saw the batch of weapons that afternoon, which were loaded in the trunks of several cars in Xindu.
There were probably over a hundred rifles and two large boxes of ammunition.
She didn't understand these things and called Grandma Yu to inspect the goods.
Granny Yu picked up a handful, looked at it, and threw it back with disgust:
"The things that fooled you are just discarded junk."
Su Tao curled her lips and was about to say, "Let's find a place to throw it away," but Granny Yu said again:
"They can be remade, and should be no worse than the automatic rifles currently on the market. Take them all to the workshop."
Su Tao swallowed the rest of her words and quickly found someone to drag her away.
Ling Tianji didn't know whether it was because he was too weak or because Zhuo Ercheng's anger caused his old illness to flare up, but that night he had both a cold and a fever and was admitted directly to the clinic in Taoyang.
Those who originally planned to return had to stay here temporarily.
The accompanying bodyguards said they were worried about the leader, but when they left the clinic, they thought to themselves that it would be best if he stayed sick for a longer time.
It was so cold, they just wanted to stay in Taoyang for a while longer. It was too tiring to travel in the cold winter.
Su Tao also went to visit him symbolically. She saw that Ling Tianji seemed to be really ill and was definitely not pretending. His face was flushed and his temperature remained high at 40 degrees. She couldn't help but ask Zhong Gaoyi:
"Is he okay? How could he fall ill just from a cold breeze?"
Zhong Gaoyi said, "He has a serious old injury, a root cause of the disease from his early years. The sudden drop in temperature and the alternating hot and cold temperatures have triggered it. Now I can only find a way to reduce his temperature. I asked Chenxi to go to Dongyang Hospital to buy some effective antipyretic medicine. Let's see after tonight."
Su Tao nodded and left the clinic. Zhuo Ercheng, who had been waiting at the door, came forward and said:
"Miss Su, no, maybe I should call you Boss Su."
Su Tao looked at him and said, "President Zhuo, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Zhuo Ercheng actually opened his mouth to apologize: "I didn't investigate your family's affairs before, and let Jiang Jinwei find you, which caused you trouble. I have broken up with her and completely cut off contact."
Su Tao said: "What does your breakup have to do with me? You don't have to tell me specifically. Besides, I have severed ties with that family a long time ago. There is no 'your family'."
Zhuo Ercheng knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he rubbed his brows and changed the subject:
"Ling Tianji actually wanted to lower the price of Taoyang supplies. This batch of weapons was exchanged for the lower price. It was my own decision that made him sick."
Su Tao looked at him in surprise: "Why did President Zhuo do this?"
"I've already explained the reason. I want to establish friendly relations with Taoyang. I've always been able to assess the situation. Looking across the coasts of North and South California, only Taoyang can provide so many supplies. With this alone, you will one day become stronger. I don't want to offend you."
Su Tao couldn't help but complain about him:
"You can see these things clearly, but why are you so blind when it comes to women?"
Zhuo Ercheng was slightly embarrassed and could only say self-deprecatingly, "Men are always blind in places you least expect. Please forgive me."
Su Tao smiled: "Okay, I get it. I don't have much opinion on you, but you have to think carefully about how to explain it to Mr. Ling when he recovers from his illness, and how to explain it to Xindu."
Zhuo Ercheng shrugged. "It's okay if I can't explain it. At worst, I can go back to Changjing and seek refuge with my ancestors. But it would be even better if Boss Su could take me in."
Su Tao was horrified: "You followed Ling Tianji this time because you wanted to be a traitor?"
Zhuo Ercheng: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places."
Su Tao refused: "You should go back to Changjing."
Zhuo Ercheng was quite puzzled.
He just hooked up with her brainless sister and caused her some trouble, so why does she dislike him so much?
He was quite unwilling:
"Boss Su, don't you really want to consider me? Don't always stare at my private life. I do have personal abilities and rich management experience. Besides, I have connections in Changjing."
Su Tao: "You should take care of your personal life first. I'm leaving now. I'm a little busy. If you have anything, please talk to Manager Zhuang."
At night, Su Tao finally had some free time, so she told Shi Zijin about what happened in Xindu.
Shi Zijin's focus was strange: "Does the Zhuo guy want to be a gigolo?"
Su Tao almost spit out a mouthful of water: "You need to be clear-headed before you speak."
After this man turned into a ghost, he spoke even more without restraint:
"Isn't that right? Let me explain the logic. You're much better than those random women he found. You're young, beautiful, rich, and powerful. Zhuo Ercheng is so good at judging the situation. By finding you, he could have saved himself twenty years of hard work. He definitely has evil intentions."
After saying that, he asked Lingyu to turn off the TV.
Whatever you are looking at, you are being targeted by thieves.
There were already two old thieves, and now there is one more.
If Su Tao could touch this guy, she would definitely grab his shoulders and shake him to wake him up.
"The chat is over, go to sleep."
Shi Zijin just watched her turn around and go back to the bedroom, unable to stop her.
I wanted to follow her in, but she popped her head out and warned me:
"Stop, restricted area, be self-aware."
Shi Zijin didn't dare to cross the line and stood there obediently.
Seeing her close the door, he floated around twice, but couldn't help but stick to the door and asked:
"Are you busy tomorrow? Come back early and talk to me."
Su Tao: "I still have 5,000 square meters of land waiting for me to build tomorrow. Go find Fang Zhi to kill time."
Fang Zhi, who just got home from get off work, said: “.”
Shi Zijin looked over.
Lin Fangzhi was silent for a second, then slipped into the space and fell asleep.
Too tired, I'll do it next time.
Su Tao leaned over her chair and asked, "Sister Pei, how is the wall in the west district being repaired?"
Building a wall from cement wouldn't be very successful.
Su Tao asked as he opened the system to check the defense building materials store.
It not only has electric fences and stone walls, but also bulletproof glass, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and the surveillance cameras she needs.
The same high-wall electric fence as the one in Taoyang only costs 50 federal coins per meter, which is surprisingly cheap.
Su Tao roughly calculated the area of Dongyang. Damn, she took back her previous thought.
To build a circle around Dongyang, it would cost more than one million federal coins.
Pei Dong had a worried look on his face. "Only one-sixth of the equipment has been built, and construction has stopped now because all the materials have been used up. We have to wait for Major General Shi to bring back another batch."
If the land area of residential areas is not expanded, the population density will be a bit too high.
Su Tao took out three crystal cores and expanded them with tears in her eyes.
