Deputy Base Director Kang
One day and one night.
The acid rain lasted a whole day and night, and only gradually subsided at noon the next day.
The newly built base was now dilapidated and in a state of decay.
Although the roof was not soaked by acid rain, the cement on it was either bulging like bubbles or exposing the steel bars inside. In short, it had to be repaired before people could continue to live in it.
The streets were horrible.
After walking a few steps, there were rotting corpses with white bones exposed. Surrounding them was a mess of rusty and turbid blood. One could barely guess that the flesh on the nearby bones had been corroded by acid rain into its current state.
The asphalt road in the Wuba Community is relatively good, but the cement road in the base has become uneven due to corrosion from puddles formed by acid rain, and a pungent fishy smell is everywhere.
The base director and Mayor Wen sat in the office for the entire day and did not leave the base until the acid rain stopped. Seeing the base they had just built become devastated, they felt extremely sad!
The sky cleared up after the rain.
Looking around, the rooftops in everyone's yard are in a mess. The garden landscape, which had just been renovated less than two months ago, has become a devastated sight. It is not only costly and laborious, but also makes people feel depressed.
Jiang Miao put on a protective mask and carried a few buckets of water upstairs, diluting and washing away the acid rain but leaving the rotten steel plates on top.
After all, other people couldn’t see the situation in her yard, but the rooftop couldn’t be too far away from others.
"Knock knock--" There was a hurried knock on the door. Jiang Miao opened the small door and saw that it was Li Zhicheng.
He said with a flattering look on his face: "Miao Miao, is the immortal here? I brought some things to visit him."
"I'm in seclusion. Don't see you." Not long after Jiang Miao closed the small door, someone came knocking on the door again.
The ones who knocked this time were Director Wang Ji and Mayor Wen.
Jiang Miao opened the door and answered but still declined the call on the grounds that the Taoist priest was still in seclusion and could not see guests.
But now that he was here, Wang Gao didn't want to return empty-handed: "Xiao Jiang, go and give him your regards. Let the Immortal decide whether to meet him or not."
Jiang Miao shook his head: "Grandpa Wang, it's not that I refuse. The Taoist priest is used to being aloof and arrogant. He never likes to deal with ordinary people like us. If I disturb him because of this matter he told me in advance, I will be angry and he might even vent his anger on you. How about I notify you first when he comes out of seclusion in the future?"
Seeing that the other party was willing to give in no matter what, Wang Gao could not force it any further. He could only say this and then leave sadly with Mayor Wen.
Mayor Wen was one of the few people who had seen the red paper with the comments.
Before the incident, I thought Wang Gao was making a big deal out of nothing, but this time's acid rain immediately raised my faith in the immortal several levels.
In fact, compared to things like the future of mankind and the safety of the base, he was more interested in testing his own career.
Why is it so unlucky!
After the acid rain, the base was put into reconstruction. Fortunately, human potential is infinite. After a little sadness, humans turned their grief and anger into strength and put their strength back into rebuilding their homes after the disaster.
No crops can grow in soil contaminated by acid rain. Experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences need to prepare calcium hydroxide solutions of different concentrations according to the acidity of the soil for spraying to neutralize the acidity of the acid rain in the soil and restore the pH value to normal.
After the disaster, there was little soil and food in the base and everyone had to tighten their belts. Jiang Miao also started his own farming career. Today he harvested some vegetable seedlings, and tomorrow he picked some lettuce to wrap and grill meat. His life was very comfortable.
The New Year is almost here again.
On this day, Jiang Miao was practicing boxing in the hall, thinking that the Immortal King had slept for so long that he might as well take him out for a walk today. However, before they had even had lunch, they welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
There was a loud knock on the door, but no one answered when asked who it was.
Jiang Miao wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over to open the small door: "Who is it?"
But as soon as the door lock was opened, an invisible hand reached in. Fortunately, Jiang Miao reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been scratched!
"At home! Shilan, the little bitch is at home!"
Jiang Miao quickly grabbed the skinny wrist and looked out through the person who came.
Wow!
There were actually more than ten people standing there in such a crowded place, both men and women!
Jiang Miao looked at the person in the front and asked in surprise: "Shilan? What do you want from me?"
Li Shilan frowned, but still spoke politely: "Miao Miao, open the door, I'll come in and we can have a good talk."
Jiang Miao was now curious: "What are you talking about? Just say it here if you have anything to say."
The person whose wrist was caught by Jiang Miao was Zhong Ai. She was forced to bend her body, but she shouted loudly and unyieldingly: "How dare you! We Shilan are giving you face. Do you think we don't know about the despicable things you have done? It hurts, it hurts - you bitch, I will punish you in a moment. I was wrong, I was wrong, let me go!"
Jiang Miao used ruthless force in his hands, but his face was expressionless: "What despicable thing? What despicable thing? Tell me about it."
Li Shilan looked at the people behind her and felt that since the parties involved didn't care, there was no need for her to save face: "Miao Miao, where were you last night?"
"at home."
Jiang Miao answered promptly and clearly, without any hesitation or delay.
"Impossible! You're lying!" a boy swore, "Zhong Ai and I saw you coming out of Uncle Li's house at 8 o'clock this morning!"
It turned out to be such a dirty thing. She said disdainfully: "Then why were you two together at eight o'clock this morning? It's impossible that you got up to do morning exercises, right?"
The two of them were in the wrong and muttered, "What's wrong with just doing morning exercises?"
Jiang Miao then let go of his hand and pushed Zhong Ai away: "Also, why don't you ask your uncle Li for confirmation on this matter, but come to ask me?"
Zhong Ai cried out and fell to the ground. It was cold now and she had few thick clothes, so she could only wear two more spring clothes to keep warm. The clothes, big and small, were squeezed inside, making it inconvenient for her to move and she couldn't get up for a long time.
Someone shouted, "You shameless woman! We are here to seek justice for Shi Lan. As her good friend, you actually climbed into her father's bed! How shameless!"
Zhong Ai fell down and grimaced but still responded: "That's right, a jinx without a father or a mother like you can live in the No. 58 neighborhood, it must be because you slept with men!"
Jiang Miao's eyes turned cold, he opened the door and kicked it away: "Say it again?"
"Ah--" Zhong Ai was kicked five or six meters away, and he was yelling on the ground holding his stomach.
"She's right."
Seven or eight more people came behind this group of people. Jiang Miao only recognized Wang Rong and didn't recognize any of the others.
The person who was speaking was wearing a down jacket and a woolen hat, covering himself tightly. He was not tall and his voice was androgynous, so it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
He adjusted his scarf and finally revealed some masculine features. He tilted his head and said, "Before the base was completed, I saw with my own eyes that Li Zhicheng brought you to my house to ask my dad for help in choosing a villa. Is there any problem?"
It turned out to be the deputy base commander’s son, Kang Jian, Master Kang.
"Yes." This is indeed true, but "if you are not blind, you should be able to see the piles of fine wine, cigarettes and tea on the table and the floor, as well as the flow of 1,800 contribution points from my account to your father."
1800 may not be a big deal for the young masters and young ladies in the inner circle, but for ordinary people, it is enough to buy a small apartment on Third Street!
If you spend frugally, it can at least cover the expenses of a family of three for five years!
Zhong Ai recovered her breath on the ground: "Of course you can say anything you want. Even if the money was taken from your account, how can we know whether it was transferred to you by Uncle Li in the first place?"
Accusations mixed with contempt came towards him. Jiang Miao saw that they were looking for a fight, so he simply turned around, went into the yard, picked up the sprinkler and sprayed it on these rich second-generations who had nothing to do and had eaten their fill!
“Ah! Help!”
"What are you doing? Stop it now!"
"My new blow-dry hair!"
The scene was in chaos with mist and splashing water. Those who came later and stood far away were fine, but those who were closer were all drenched by Jiang Miao, especially Zhong Ai, who had a foul mouth, and received her special attention!
The group of people ran far away from Villa No. 58 before they had time to utter harsh words: "Just wait, I won't let you go!"
"I'll wait."
Jiang Miao snorted and closed the door. Anyway, she was in the right about this matter. Who would come to someone's door and throw dirty water at them without any reason?
If things really get out of hand, they will put the blame on the Taoist priest, saying that their noise has disturbed the Taoist priest's meditation.
Anyway, with this imperial sword in hand, I am not afraid that the base commander and Mayor Wen will not give me face.
On the second floor, Su Heng was leaning against the window watching the show.
"Does it look good?" Jiang Miao was so angry that he almost laughed. This guy has been so lazy lately that he refuses to get up and exercise. He stays in bed and sleeps all day long.
Now that there was something exciting to watch, he got up.
"Beautiful, Miaomiao." Su Heng tilted his head and called her name. It turned out that not all of her friends called her sister.
Also, Miaomiao.
He saw an article in a book in this world which said: My thoughts are filled with longing, as I gaze upon the beauty in the sky.
It's just the right match.
Jiang Miao was speechless downstairs, rubbing his hungry stomach: "Do you want to eat with me?"
"Yes." Su Heng left from the second-floor window and came to her side soon, "Eat it. I have something to tell you."
If nothing unexpected happens, today will be full of troubles. Jiang Miao wanted to eat something good to conserve his energy, so he took out steamed lobster, crayfish sashimi, and salt-baked tiger crab from the space, and grilled some wagyu beef, white mushroom, fried rice with scrambled egg and foie gras, and finally a bowl of fish maw and bird's nest milk to complete the meal.
Su Heng had nothing to do anyway, so he started peeling shrimp for her. As he peeled, he said, "I feel like the rules of this world are less oppressive on me."
"Hmm?" This was indeed a bit strange. Jiang Miao asked, "Do you know the reason?"
Su Heng shook his head: "I only know that after that strange rain, I was in a coma for more than a few months, and I only discovered this recently."
That's really strange.
Neither of them could figure out why acid rain caused Su Heng to behave so strangely. If it was just a natural disaster, he had never behaved like this before, even in earthquakes and floods.
It was not until Jiang Miao asked him if he had ever experienced this before that he said that when he first came to this world, the rejection reaction was particularly severe and he felt like he was going to explode and die in the next moment.
But only after the icicle fell could he take a breath under the suppression of the rules, but his soul and body were still being tortured.
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Miao immediately found the commonality between the two events - both were new doomsday disasters that were different from the one in her previous life.
Although he didn't know the principle, he found the pattern, which solved Su Heng's doubts for many days. He took out the wine glass and filled it with Zui Hua Yin: "Would you like to drink something? It's to celebrate that I finally recovered the third level of magic power."
Jiang Miao shook his head: "No, I have something else to do in the afternoon."
She didn't want to drink, and Su Heng had no fun drinking it, so he just peeled shrimps and crabs for her, and placed them neatly on a plate and handed them to her.
Jiang Miao loves eating seafood, and it feels really good to have someone peel it carefully and hand it to him.
Especially the person peeling the shrimps looks so pleasing to the eye, which really whetted my appetite.
After she finished her meal and dealt with the dishes, before she could take a break, there was a knock on the door as expected.
"Here they come." Jiang Miaoxing sat upright. No matter whether the person who came was the base commander or the deputy base commander, she was right.
When Jiang Miao opened the door, he never expected that it was his second uncle and eldest aunt's family.
My goodness, how did they find us here?
"Don't even think about closing the door!" The second uncle quickly grabbed the door and stuck his head in. "Okay, Jiang Miao! Okay, you actually live in such a big villa without telling our whole family! Don't you feel guilty about living here? Are you still a member of our Jiang family? Are you worthy of your grandparents and my eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
My second uncle, my eldest aunt, and my eldest uncle-in-law were not as wealthy as they looked at this time in their previous life. They were dark and thin, with dark circles under their eyes, and they were dirty and smelly, as if they had not taken a bath for a long time.
A series of questions came down, Jiang Miao held the gate firmly with one hand to stop them outside the courtyard gate, wondering: "How did you get in?"
She was very curious. It wasn't that when Chen Dafa was in charge of the security team, even the property owners were not allowed in. But after Li Zhicheng took over, any garbage could be thrown in, right?
On the asphalt road in the distance, the security team members came running over, panting: "Aren't you going to look for Mr. Li? Why are you here?"
The second uncle yelled, "This is my niece! My eldest brother's daughter, my niece! What's wrong with me coming to see her? Even if I live here today, no one dares to do anything to me!"
The security guard looked at it awkwardly and said, "Miss Jiang? This..."
Second Uncle's shamelessness once again set her off, so she said to the security guard, "Don't worry about them. I'll tell Mr. Li that if you see those three people again next time, don't let them in."
"Jiang Miao! What do you want to do!" Second Uncle's ears turned red with anger. "Last time you came to Jiang's Building and moved so many supplies, I didn't bother with you. Now that you have made a fortune with those things, should we who invested in it get a share of the dividends? Tell me, speak with your conscience!"
The eldest aunt also said sarcastically: "You still told Mr. Li that you are so familiar with Li Zhicheng? What is the relationship? Can you meet him or not?"
Hearing this, Jiang Miao took a deep breath, turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle, do you still remember Luo Yajun? She is now working in the government affairs center of our base. She is an urban beauty with a high salary, good benefits and a regular position. Last time I went to do some work, she mentioned you to me and said that she missed the days when she was your secretary."
The son-in-law and uncle is always suppressed by his aunt. After hearing Jiang Miao's words, he couldn't help but secretly miss the romantic past between himself and his secretary, and a longing look appeared in his eyes.
"What did you say?" The eldest aunt was furious when she saw her husband's expression, "That little bitch is still alive?"
"No, I have such a good job now, how can I be willing to die." Jiang Miao shifted the blame to someone else with just a few words and turned to face his second uncle again.
"Before you get kicked out by security, may I ask how you knew I lived here?"
Unexpectedly, he didn't respond at all, and sat down on the ground at the door with a thud: "I'm telling you, Jiang Miao, I've decided to take your place today. It's only natural for a niece to support her uncle, don't try to deny it!"
She won't fall for this kind of rogue behavior.
Jiang Miao closed the door mercilessly, leaving behind a sentence, "If you are willing to wait, then wait. I don't mind if you become a dried corpse."
Outside the door, the two security guards tried to persuade them again and again, but the three men refused to listen. They started to pull them apart and almost got into a fight. They had no choice but to go find their superior, the security captain.
The captain was so confused that everyone was shocked and scolded them for letting these poor people in.
The two security guards acted innocent: "They said they are old friends with Mr. Li and they have an appointment to discuss something. If they delay things, we will be in big trouble!"
"Are you idiots? You just believe whatever they say!"
"But……"
"Don't say but. I can't make the decision on this matter. Go find Mr. Li."
At that time, Li Zhicheng was worried about how to explain to Jiang Miao.
Today, when his daughter came back soaked to the skin, he found out that someone saw Jiang Yuan leaving his house this morning and mistook her for Jiang Miao, so they instigated Shi Lan to go to Building 58 to confront Jiang Miao!
Upon hearing the news, Li Zhicheng almost collapsed in his chair!
He didn't even know what cards that evil star had in his hands or what forces were behind him, but how dare his own daughter bring a group of young masters and young ladies to frame her?
Just as he was wondering what to take to apologize, the security captain came over and said that two men and one woman were causing trouble around Building 58, and asked him if he wanted to go and take a look.
He thought that this was a good opportunity to redeem himself for meritorious service, but when he got there he found out that they were actually the families of Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Da Jie!
It's a bad year and everything goes wrong!
As soon as he showed up, he was met with cold sarcasm from the other side: "Boss Li, it's so rare to see you. What's the matter? You're already so old, but you're sleeping with my daughter?"
On the first day Jiang Yuan met Li Zhicheng, they agreed that this matter should be done secretly without telling her parents and the deputy base commander. Jiang Yuan couldn't stand her father's control and having to work for them all her life, so she approached Li Zhicheng to take some initiative.
Therefore, for Jiang Lao Er to know about this, it definitely couldn’t have been Jiang Yuan who told him about it herself.
After a while, Li Zhicheng finally figured out what happened.
After Shi Lan found out that the person who went out this morning was Jiang Yuan and not Jiang Miao, she went to clarify things with other people. Then someone with ulterior motives found Jiang Yuan's house and reported the matter to Jiang Laoer and the others!
But who would have known that after Jiang Laoer and the others found out, the first thing they would do was not to come and settle the score with him, but to come and block Jiang Miao?
Facing the questioning of his old friend, Li Zhicheng felt guilty and a little proud: "Brother Jiang, Yuanyuan and I are just getting what we want without delaying each other. Why are you competing with me? If you really loved her, you wouldn't let her follow Chief Kang. And the first thing you do when you rush into the community now isn't to look for Jiang Miao, right?"
Without waiting for him to speak, Li Zhicheng continued, "Besides, this matter will end here. Only God and the earth know about it, and you and I know about it. If you bring it to Chief Kang, let's see if you can still climb on his big ship."
Jiang Laoer was so angry that he almost died. He felt depressed and almost hated Li Zhicheng to death.
At this moment, Deputy Base Commander Kang and his three bodyguards were rushing over to avenge his son.
His son was just bored this morning and came to watch the fun, but he was splashed with water for no reason. Who could stand this? In addition, his son was weak to begin with, how could he stand being splashed with water in the middle of winter?
Kang Weiguo was so furious when he saw his son coming back with wet hair that he had to come and see who was making things difficult for his precious child.
"Captain Kang, good afternoon." Li Zhicheng was the first to greet him, and Jiang Laoer was not to be outdone, "Captain Kang, thank you for coming here."
"Huh, what about you guys? Why are you here too?"
Li Zhicheng spoke first: "Jiang Miao, that girl who came to your house to choose a villa last time, didn't she choose No. 58? This is her second uncle, let's go and see the younger generation."
Oh, that little girl, I have an impression of her.
She had a fair and tender face and a beautiful figure, but the three men in black suits behind her made it difficult for her to make a move on her. So she gave up and sent them away after receiving enough benefits.
He also found out today that he and Yuanyuan are cousins. Wow, why is there such a big gap between the two sisters?
"Oh, I came here to ask her why she sprayed water on my son? Not only did his underwear get wet, but he also fainted for a while at noon! Otherwise, I should have come to trouble her right then and there!"
The remaining few people looked at each other, it turned out that they were here to cause trouble!
Now, Jiang Laoer didn't bother to try to get involved anymore. He quickly gave up his seat and prepared to wait for Kang Ji to recover his anger before settling accounts with his unfilial niece.
Jiang Miao, who had been eavesdropping from inside the door, finally figured out the whole story.
I was actually the one who took the blame for Jiang Yuan and suffered this unprovoked disaster! ?
Cousins have some similarities, plus it was foggy in the morning, and Zhong Ai liked to put the blame on her, so it was not surprising that he prejudged that it was her.
"Deputy Base Commander Kang, this is not my fault." Jiang Miao opened the door, not hiding the fact that he had been staying behind the gate.
Realizing this, Li Zhicheng and Jiang Laoer's faces turned red and white.
Some things... especially this kind of thing is okay in front of a few shameless old gang members. Everyone knows what each other is like, so they can be vulgar together.
But when it comes to the younger generation, the nature of the matter changes. And the younger generation is not very obedient and may reveal the matter to the deputy base commander standing in front of them at any time.
Kang Weiguo narrowed his eyes and said, "I can't blame you, so I blame my son. He deserves to be splashed with a basin of water by you, right?"
"Yeah, he deserves it." Jiang Miao was not afraid of him, "Did I ask him to come to my doorstep and spit blood and provoke me?"
Before Kang Weiguo could say anything, Jiang Laoer started to speak up for the deputy base commander: "You unfilial daughter, you did something wrong but you are still stubborn. Why don't you apologize to your superiors quickly!"
Jiang Miao smiled, but did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "Deputy Base Commander Kang, don't you want to know why I splashed water? Why did these well-fed young masters and young ladies in the community come to block me at my door?"
To be honest, Kang Weiguo didn't like the girl in front of him very much, especially since she kept calling him "Deputy Base Commander Kang". Didn't he know that he was the deputy and needed her to remind him again and again?
Li Zhicheng didn't want Jiang Miao to tell him the specific reason, so he took the blame himself: "It's me. It was my negligence that caused some misunderstandings between my daughter and Miaomiao. It's all my fault. I'll come to visit you another day when your son is better."
But Kang Weiguo didn't want to let Jiang Miao go so easily, and still had a gloomy face and didn't say anything.
The guards behind him stood straight, holding guns in their hands with a majestic look that made people intimidated and no one dared to speak.
Just then, Wang Rong arrived with the base commander.
Today, Wang Rong went back and told her grandfather about the commotion in front of Villa No. 58. The old man felt that these people were disturbing the immortal's meditation, and wanted to come over in the afternoon to ask about Xiao Jiang's situation.
Who would have thought that as soon as I turned the corner I would see a large group of people gathering here again!
Isn’t it too lively?
"Xiao Jiang." Wang Gao walked over with his granddaughter. He came to visit the immortal today, so he didn't bring any personal guards.
Someone else joins the group chat?
Jiang Miao smiled: "Grandpa Wang."
Everyone looked back, and Kang Weiguo reacted quickly, rushing to greet him: "Old leader, why are you here too?"
Among those present, only the Jiang family had not met the base commander, but from Kang Weiguo's attitude and the fact that his last name was Wang, it could be known that he was the highest-ranking officer in the base and had more say than Mayor Wen.
But why did that little bastard Jiang Miao call the base commander "Grandpa Wang"? How come they didn't know that there was such an uncle in their network of contacts?
Could it be that there is some hidden relationship between the old man and the base commander?
