Villa quota secured
This small pavilion was built in an ancient style, with a corner missing on the left and a tile falling off on the east, which really doesn't look very beautiful.
But after Jiang Miao and others sat down under the pavilion, the originally dilapidated building began to reveal a bit of damaged beauty, truly living up to the saying "a humble house can be brought to glory".
"Come, have some tea." Li Zhicheng greeted warmly when he came out of the bathroom.
He had just quietly asked his daughter, and it turned out that Jiang Miao's sudden visit was to inquire about the Yuan family.
Although Yuan Yiwei is dead, there is more than one young master in the Yuan family in Beijing.
"Uncle Li, please go first." Jiang Miao only touched his lips with the teacup and did not drink it.
Li Zhicheng sighed, "Back then, I had tea and chatted with your parents in Shanshui Manor, and your father and I had a project to jointly promote. Who knew that things would not go as planned? In the end, the people were gone, and the living suffered in vain in this world."
Jiang Miao also sighed softly.
This global disaster will not spare anyone and will be the end of all mankind.
Without further ado, Li Zhicheng was not the type to beat around the bush. He looked at the two secretaries and assistants behind his niece who were dressed so well in the end times, and took the initiative to mention, "I, your uncle, am now doing some speculation with the municipal government. A few days ago, I was given the title of a glorious entrepreneur. It is really a compliment from the leaders."
Then he changed the subject: "I see that your business is doing well, niece. I wonder where you are employed?"
Finally I couldn't hold it anymore.
Jiang Miao frowned slightly at first, then glanced at Li Zhicheng and sighed: "Uncle Li, your hair has turned white."
Li Zhicheng was concentrating on negotiating, but was stunned when he heard her say that: "Yeah, you've become this pale in just two years, you're getting old fast, right?"
She spoke with a familiar tone, "Alas, I originally promised Master Yuan to keep this a secret, but today when I saw you, Uncle Li, with your gray hair, worrying about Shilan and Auntie, I thought of my parents. I don't know whether I should be thankful or regretful."
Young Master Yuan?
Li Zhicheng was puzzled, could it be Yuan Yiwei?
No wonder he can still live so freely and gloriously in the end times, and always takes three people with him when he goes out to visit friends.
"Your parents know that you are so sensible and capable now. They will be happy for you in their graves." Li Zhicheng pretended to comfort them and asked in a roundabout way: "I wonder which Young Master Yuan you are talking about, niece?"
Jiang Miao curled his lips: "Apart from this person from Luhu Community, who else could it be?"
Li Zhicheng had eight thoughts turning around in his mind.
But looking at Jiang Miao's overall demeanor and calmness, one can tell that this little girl's current achievements are probably inherited from her grandfather and father. She is completely different from her narrow-minded second uncle and short-sighted elder aunt.
So he stopped probing and said directly, "My dear nephew, the current situation is so tense and information is so blocked, let's not beat around the bush. If we have any news, let's just exchange it directly. To be honest, I gave you a golden abacus when you turned one. We have known each other since childhood, so there is no need for us to be on guard against mutually beneficial things, right?"
Jiang Miao sat up straight, stared at Li Zhichang for a long while, and then said, "Okay, Uncle Li, you have said it all today. I, as your niece, would be a fool to keep it a secret. But before we talk about this, you have to tell me what you know about the night Young Master Yuan died."
She added: "I originally came here for this matter, but Shi Lan was hesitant and refused to say anything, so I guessed that it must be your instruction."
Li Zhicheng was still trying to hide the truth. "Something happened at home that day and I couldn't sleep that night. I happened to see three people sneaking past my house from the balcony, twice."
Jiang Miao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Did you see who it was?"
"No, it was too dark. Judging from their heights, there were probably two women and one man. Their heights... were probably about the same as these three."
Li Zhicheng pointed at Su Le and Li Chongyu. Their vests got wet and their eyes were wandering, almost giving them away.
"Didn't Uncle Li tell the police about this?"
"How dare I! Three people killed all of Master Yuan's dozen bodyguards. Now there is no witness protection in the bureau. If I tell the police about this today, those desperate criminals will come to my door tomorrow!"
After saying that, Li Zhicheng took a sip of tea to calm down: "For your sake, nephew, I have told you everything I know."
The content is true, showing sincerity.
Jiang Miao pointed and asked Su Le to hand over the folder. He rummaged through it and took out a piece of A4 paper and handed it over.
As the general manager, Li Zhicheng could tell at a glance that this was an item in the plan, which listed the development plans for mining resources and oil resources. Judging from the area, the storage capacity would not be small.
"You're crazy!" Li Zhicheng took a closer look and immediately threw the A4 paper away. He raised his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "It is illegal to open a mine without permission! Look at the scale of this, it's enough, enough to sentence you to death. You think no one will arrest you now, right? The last thing the municipal government lacks is the army!"
The other side was like facing a formidable enemy. Jiang Miao took it leisurely and said, "Uncle Li, what nonsense are you talking about? It's against the law. Is the law still useful in the end times? I don't believe that you haven't killed anyone in the past two or three years."
Li Zhicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! Who has survived to this day in this world without having killed someone? But, but you are challenging the authority of the municipal government by mining privately. I am lucky enough not to report you! Go away, go away! Today I will pretend that you have never been here and have never heard of these things."
He stood up and wanted to leave, but Jiang Miao stopped smiling and said, "Uncle Li, please stay."
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
The girl in the pavilion smiled, but didn't try to restrain her aura, which made him feel a chill in his heart.
Jiang Miao raised his hand, and Li Chongyu immediately drew his gun and pointed it at Li Zhicheng. He was horrified: "What are you doing!"
It was getting darker, and at the end of the sky was a blood-red sunrise. Jiang Miao stood up and looked out, "Uncle Li, I came here today to inquire about Master Yuan and to catch up with Shi Lan. I had no intention of talking about the things I was doing, but you repeatedly invited, hinted, and tested me, and even brought up your deceased father and mother to establish a relationship with me. I saw that you were sincere, and I sympathized with your hard work in raising Shi Lan and a woman in the backyard, so I was relieved to tell you."
She turned her head and looked back, without a trace of emotion in her eyes: "Why, you were born to climb onto the boat by force, and now you want to jump off when you feel it's not right? Look, am I such a generous person?"
Li Zhicheng's legs went weak unconsciously. For the first time, he felt that the niece he had seen grow up to be so strange.
To be honest, he was jealous of Jiang Miao, an orphan, who could live so decently in the doomsday, and was given famous liquor and cigarettes without blinking an eye, so he came up with the idea.
He could never have imagined that the good girl who had not even graduated from college would get such a job in the apocalypse!
Li Zhicheng supported himself on the table and sat back, taking a deep breath and asking, "What do you want? I've already told you that I'm keeping this to myself and won't tell anyone. Your parents and I have been friends for 20 to 30 years, so I won't go against their orphan girl!"
Jiang Miao didn't believe it: "I only know that in this world only the dead can keep secrets."
Li Zhicheng mumbled, unable to speak. He took the A4 paper back with shaking hands and looked at it carefully for a long time: "That's not right. Where can we find so many miners to start work? Niece, are you making fun of your uncle Li?"
Hearing this, Jiang Miao smiled and sat back in the negotiation chair: "From what Uncle Li said, you are not planning to jump ship?"
His expression changed as fast as turning the pages of a book. Li Zhicheng was amazed and thought that this boy would become a great man in the future.
"Now that I know about this matter, I can't get away from it. Instead of being worried every day, I might as well give up and wait and see."
Jiang Miao handed over the entire plan: "Then please take your time to read it."
The light blue folder looks particularly dazzling against the gray tones of the doomsday.
Li Zhicheng took it with gritted teeth and read it page by page.
But before seeing it, he had prayed that he would just dig some iron ore and do some reselling work, but he never thought that Jiang Miao and the organization behind her were really planning a big move!
If they succeed, history will be rewritten by them!
Honestly speaking, this kind of business plan that deceives Party A into investing must be written with vivid words and a rate of return of 100% or 200% in order to see results.
Although all this seemed far-fetched, it was inexplicably convincing. Even the location she marked, Wanlong Mountain, was a place he had heard about from Mayor Wen.
But as soon as he walked over, Mayor Wen and Director Xie stopped talking, as if they were afraid that he would overhear them.
It seems that Jiang Miao has something real in his hand.
As Li Zhicheng browsed, Su Le began to introduce at the boss's signal: "Our Xin'an International's main businesses are iron ore, copper ore, various new energy and blue ocean businesses... In short, if you want to join, Mr. Li, our professional organization will also evaluate your assets and connections to decide which direction you want to develop in."
The plan turned to the last page, and Su Le finished speaking and stepped behind Jiang Miao.
To be honest, this pie is really well drawn, but... "My dear nephew, do you want to take a look at what you are going to do? Do you think this is a foreign country and you can do whatever you want? No, no, the risk is too great, I really can't do it. So, I will treat it as a personal investment without asking for returns, and give you 200 kilograms of grain and 2 kilograms of gold. What do you think?"
Li Zhicheng closed the folder and handed it back. If Jiang Miao and the forces behind her succeeded one day, it would be great for him to share the success with them.
But if you fail, you will be executed in the autumn, so you can't take the risk.
"Uncle Li, are you joking?"
Li Zhicheng was also tough for once: "Then what do you want?"
Jiang Miao raised her hand, and her bodyguards immediately drew their guns and pointed them at her.
Li Zhicheng held his breath and refused to let himself be at a disadvantage, regretting why he had forgotten to equip himself with a gun at home.
"My dear nephew, don't let your men scare me with this thing. Many people know that you came to my house today. If you dare to fire this gun, my men will not let you go! The municipal government will also investigate to the end!"
The atmosphere gradually became tense. Even Assistant Liu, who was standing not far away, kept glancing over here, looking hesitant and not daring to step forward.
After a while, Jiang Miao asked his men to put away their guns, picked up the folder and slowly flipped through it: "Uncle Li, if you hadn't flipped through this folder, I could have turned a blind eye and pulled out your tongue, cut the tendons in your hands and feet and saved your life."
He leaned back in his chair warily: "What do you mean."
On the contrary, Jiang Miao leaned on the pillow leisurely: "I just said that only the dead can keep secrets for me."
"For Shi Lan's sake, I won't implicate your family, but the prerequisite is that you keep your mouth shut."
Somehow, Li Zhicheng looked at the four people in front of him and felt that what they said was not a joke. Then he began to feel scared for no reason. He said with a strong face: "Jiang Miao, how dare you! After all, I am your uncle, how dare you!"
She tilted her head slightly: "Why shouldn't I be afraid? It's not like I did it."
The person behind her was looking at him with a stern face. Li Zhicheng suddenly found that the figure seemed a bit similar to the one he saw on the day of the Yuan family murder. His heart suddenly rose to his throat, a chill rushed to the top of his spine, and he began to stutter when speaking.
"My dear nephew, we can discuss this. Everything can be discussed."
His heart was beating fast, and cold sweat was wiping off his forehead: "Whatever you want, we can discuss it."
Su Le stepped forward and poured out his cold tea, then filled a new cup: "Mr. Li, haven't you ever heard a saying? Only accomplices can keep this common secret except for the dead."
Li Zhicheng closed his eyes in despair. This group of people was determined to drag him down. What they meant by "coming to see poetry" was just an excuse! Who would come to a classmate's house and bring a secretary, bodyguard, and a business plan?
It's obvious that they have been eyeing him for a long time!
Helpless, he slumped down in the chair dejectedly: "What do you want me to do?"
Jiang Miao was satisfied: "I heard that Uncle Li still has some cables in stock?"
Li Zhicheng immediately said, "These things have all been approved by the municipal government. If you want 20 or 30 meters, I can give it to you. If the quantity is too much, I can't make the decision."
Then, Su Le leaned over and whispered something in Jiang Miao's ear.
Her expression changed from surprise to suspicion to disgust, and when she looked at Li Zhicheng again, she was no longer respectful as before.
Li Zhicheng secretly glared at the female secretary, wondering what bad things she had said about him.
A minute later, Su Le stood up and said, "Mr. Li, in that case, let's first complete something within your ability."
He endured the slightly mocking words that looked down on him, and said resignedly: "You say."
"There are a total of fifty-eight places available in the villa area of the base, and we at Xin'an International need one for an office."
When he heard that it was something that could be done with money and connections, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not difficult to do. I have some connections with the person in charge of the base. After they've divided it up, there will probably be about ten sets left. It won't be a problem for you to do me a favor."
Su Le: "Okay, write the letter immediately and ask your assistant to go there now."
"Now? It's getting dark now, how can I disturb you!" Li Zhicheng refused. Who would be so anxious to ask someone to do something? I'm afraid that the favor will be over after the job is done?
Su Le would not think of the uncle-nephew relationship, and said coldly: "Mr. Li, now it is your turn to show your loyalty to us."
"We should always be logical when we speak and act, right? Now you want me to go..." "Bang!"
The bullet marks crossed the ground, and the exploded shell just grazed Li Zhicheng's jaw, leaving a bloody mark. He fell to the ground due to his weak legs.
Assistant Liu and several maids standing not far away were all startled, and Su Le and Fang Yang were also quite frightened.
——What is Li Chongyu doing! This part is not in the script given by the senior sister!
Jiang Miao was a little calmer, and said coldly: "Secretary Su, when you go back, go find Captain Wu and ask him how he manages his subordinates. How dare they shoot without my order?"
"Boss, boss, I..." Li Chongyu's palms were numb and shaking with fear. It was simply because the safety lock was not fastened properly and the gun went off.
"Yes, boss." Su Le turned around and glared at Li Chongyu, then turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are frightened."
Li Zhicheng gasped for breath, touched the blood on his jaw and looked at the few evil-like people in front of him. He regretted deeply why he had provoked them.
"Assistant Liu, Assistant Liu!" He swallowed hard and called Assistant Liu over with a trembling voice: "Go, take the things and gifts, and go to the deputy base commander's home."
With Boss Li coming in person with a car full of goodies to build relationships, the deputy base commander looked at the fine wine and cigarettes with a smile on his face and was determined to give him face no matter what.
It's just an extra villa quota, it's not like I won't pay for it,
"But we don't have many places in the villa. If you cut in line..."
Jiang Miao was also very tactful: "I'll give you 20% more contribution points as compensation. Is that okay with you?"
The deputy base commander laughed and turned around and said, "Your niece is very sensible!"
Li Zhicheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling heartbroken as he watched the dazzling array of gifts disappear into other people's homes before they even lasted a single day in his home.
After coming out of the deputy base commander's house with the approval slip, Su Le held the folder and smiled amiably: "From now on, we will be allies of mutual benefit and assistance. I hope Mr. Li will be careful in what he says and does. If we hear any disturbance outside, our Xin'an International is a big company and it is not a joke."
"I understand, I understand." Li Zhicheng quickly sent the evil spirit away, then he supported Assistant Liu and walked home with trembling legs.
Jiang Miao was still young, but the plan he came up with was really vicious! This would leave the impression that the two of them knew each other and were close to each other in front of the deputy base commander. If they were to be found out, wouldn't he be implicated?
After all, it was he who acted as a guarantor and introduced Jiang Miao to the central core area such as the villa area.
What a good plan!
Seeing him sighing all the way, Assistant Liu didn't understand: "Sir, why do you have to do this thankless job? We worked so hard to get a favor from the deputy base commander, but you actually used it on an outsider."
Li Zhicheng wanted to complain, but he didn't dare to say it when he thought of the secretary's warning: "Alas, her parents are good friends with me, and now that it's their last day, I should take care of them more."
Assistant Liu stopped talking, but was puzzled in his heart. Usually, the gentleman was the one who loved to take advantage of small opportunities. When did he become such a generous person?
After separating from Li Zhicheng, Su Le finally let go of his energy and sat slumped in the car seat, rubbing his aching waist: "Senior sister, where are we going now?"
"Go to the government affairs center. Fang Yang will stop at the ruins intersection ahead. You guys go back first."
"good."
Li Chongyu looked apologetic: "Sister Miao, I..."
Su Le was furious: "If it weren't for Senior Sister's wit, we would have been exposed!"
"I was also so absorbed in listening that I unconsciously pressed something in my hand. Fortunately, I didn't point the gun at my own people at that time."
"Luckily, Mr. Li wasn't injured, otherwise we would all have to go to jail!"
Jiang Miao said calmly: "It's okay, as long as the result is good."
In order to avoid any further complications, she immediately went to the government service center to get the property certificate.
