Why do you look so constipated? Something on your mind?
As the four of them and the dragon walked down the street, Dai Lele keenly noticed Xiao He's expression.
Because Beihu District is very close to the college, Honglian didn't have time to spare during class.
So the four of them decided to go out for lunch first and check out the soil conditions in the villa area along the way.
But Xiao He rarely spoke after leaving home, his brows furrowed, his eyes darting around, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Xiao He only raised his head when he heard Dai Lele's question.
Yet there's always a lingering, unsettling sadness.
"fine."
"fine?"
Dai Lele's eyes suddenly became uneven.
Xiao He didn't intend to mention the details of the mission to them; he just wanted to keep it quiet and avoid being discovered.
After all, the task was simply to "go for an interview," with no requirement to pass.
Find a time when they are all busy, and quietly get this done so that you can still maintain your "image" in their eyes!
"Okay, it's decided then!" Xiao He narrowed his eyes.
Dai Lele, who had been staring at him the whole time, also narrowed her eyes.
This street is relatively remote, with few pedestrians and shops, and the bungalows on both sides of the street are marked with the word "demolition".
“Hey, there were several restaurants here when I passed by last time,” Dai Lele said in surprise.
"Are we going to go back hungry?" Horry scratched his head.
"Hey! Uncle!" Without saying a word, Dai Lele walked towards the old man who was carrying tiles not far away: "Excuse me, but I'd like to ask you, what's going on with this street? Why is it suddenly going to be demolished?"
"It's been contracted out." The old man said calmly, "It's contracted out by the Jia family in the south of the city."
"Oh... then is there anywhere else to eat on this street?" Dai Lele asked again.
“That’s all. You have to keep going.” The old man said, “But if you keep going, you’ll reach the old Beihu Park. It’ll be a while before you can turn into Hudonghou Street. There are a lot of restaurants there.”
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Uncle!"
Dai Lele waved her hand and returned to the three of them: "Let's go, let's go. There's no food here. Looks like we have to work first and then eat."
"Okay, let's go then." Horry quickened his pace first.
After this pause, Xiao He began to look around the street.
Recalling the location of this street on the map, it is the shortest distance from the Cloud Academy District to the North Lake District.
The Cloud Academy District doesn't just refer to the area within the walls; like Beihu Park, it encompasses the entire area within a kilometer. The area is home to various related shops and tutoring centers, making it a relatively high-traffic area.
"Taking over this place was a wise move," Xiao He thought to himself, secretly praising the decision.
Horry climbed onto the bungalow by the roadside and pointed to the end of the street.
"Look, the road ahead looks like it's been dug up."
Xiao He followed his gaze and saw that the end of the street had been dug up, with various sturdy building materials placed on the side.
It seems that not only will the road be closed, but it will be closed very high and thickly, which is really puzzling.
The three of them climbed onto the rooftop next to them so they wouldn't step into the pits the workers had dug.
Xiao He looked back in bewilderment, feeling that this design was inappropriate.
Dead ends reduce foot traffic. I thought the contractor was being quite shrewd just now, but now I'm starting to have doubts.
"Does the Jia family have a grudge against the Zhu family? Why hurt the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own?" Dai Lele also noticed the problem that Xiao He had pointed out.
This was the only possibility she could think of; otherwise, there was no way to explain it.
With this most important street connecting the two areas completely blocked off, land prices in Beihu District will only drop even lower.
The villa area in Beihu was originally designed with the students' families in mind.
More than half of the students studying online have some financial means, and buying a piece of land nearby for their families and settling them in a villa is considered a great act of filial piety.
But if this road is no longer passable, those waiting for news of price reductions will simply give up on the spot.
"That's too ruthless!" Dai Lele exclaimed in shock.
Yang Xing: Buy it!!!
[Yang Xing: Buy, buy, buy!!!]
Just as Xiao He sent the price analysis to Yang Xing, he received these two replies.
"Is he still asleep?" Dai Lele rolled her eyes, not taking it seriously at all.
"Does he mean to buy one?" Horry asked, his face full of doubt.
Wang Xuefeng stood to the side, listening quietly to the sound of water coming from afar, a strange smile playing on his lips: "I know what you two are up to..."
"Hmm?" Dai Lele didn't believe it and looked at Xiao He, only to find that his expression was also very strange.
"What exactly do you want?!" Horry was just as bewildered as Dai Lele.
[Xiao He: Wait, be realistic first, let me go ask the price]
[Yang Xing: Okay, okay!! Everything depends on you!!!]
Xiao He whistled, and Angelina skipped and hopped over.
"I'll go ahead first."
"It's up to you now," Wang Xuefeng said.
Wings rose into the sky amidst the fierce wind, and Xiao He and Angelina disappeared into the distance.
As soon as he left, Dai Lele and Huo Lei blocked Wang Xuefeng from the left and right, the former rubbing his hands together with a forced smile.
Wang Xuefeng hadn't expected the two to be so curious: "Uh, this, this is to support Xiaoxing's business..."
-
High in the air, Xiao He carefully surveyed the entire North Lake.
This is a typical freshwater lake, with a small river flowing down from the Hengduan Mountains through it.
The lake's outline is an irregular ellipse, with a balanced but dark color.
According to Dai Lele, a fish demon initially revived here, but it was very cunning and afraid of death. It never showed itself and quietly hid under the silt at the bottom of the lake. When people were not paying attention, it absorbed the life of the surrounding plants from its underground roots. Until one day, someone finally realized what was happening and killed the fish demon, but by then the place had become like this.
