The newly renovated house can be moved into soon. Ye Zhou went to the supermarket several times and ordered the most advanced and pollution-free decoration materials in the system. There is no formaldehyde. Some furniture even has natural floral scent. Even if there are no green plants in the house, it smells very fresh.
But Ye Zhou still placed some green plants in it and installed air purification circulation pipes. Even in such a harsh environment, the green plants can still survive normally.
A house of more than 100 square meters could not accommodate so many people. This house was given by Zhao Qing, so Ye Zhou gave out a batch of houses and bought two houses for the employees to live in.
Ye Zhou does not plan to move the supermarket and staff dormitory directly out here. After all, Zou Ming will still have to stay here in the future.
It was fine when they were around, but now that they were gone, Zou Ming couldn't live alone away from the crowd. Even if Zou Ming could, Ye Zhou couldn't bear to let him go.
On the day of moving, Zhao Qing brought people to greet them in person. In addition to Zhao Qing, the bosses of various forces also sent their confidants over.
Perhaps it was because the various forces were wary of each other, and with Zhao Qing acting as a lubricant, so although there were many forces in the base, there was no physical conflict and peace was barely maintained.
Even if this peace is at stake.
"Don't be so polite." Ye Zhou said to Zhao Qing who brought people to help them move things.
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "How can this be called polite? By the way, will you still use these cars in the future?"
Ye Zhou: "This car is not cheap. It will cost a lot of money if you want to buy all of them."
Zhao Qing said suggestively: "We don't have much to offer right now. You can see that our base doesn't have anything you need. But it will be different after we build a plantation. We will have everything then."
Then Ye Zhou just laughed: "Let's talk about it later, but I can lend you the car and pay the rent every month, what do you think?"
Zhao Qing instantly became interested. He knew the word "rent", but no one had ever done the business of renting things. How could you take it back after renting it out? And if you could take it back, what was the point of renting?
"But if you owe money, I will just take the car away." Ye Zhou and Zhao Qing walked in the front, and the two groups of people fell behind. Compared with Zhao Qing's subordinates who looked tall and strong even here, Ye Zhou's employees looked stronger and healthier.
Zhao Qing thought about it and said, "Okay."
No matter how good his roof is, there is no air conditioning. If there is air conditioning, who would want to use ice? The cooling speed and duration are completely incomparable.
There are seven cars in total. He lives in one, and the remaining six can be distributed as rewards to other bosses. Although he has to pay the rent, whether or not to pay it and how to pay it is another matter.
If Ye Zhou really has the means to take the car away, then it wouldn't matter if he gave it to him, it wouldn't hurt him much.
If the other party doesn't have it, doesn't it depend on his opinion whether he returns the car or not?
"The reservoir is still under construction." Zhao Qing took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself, and handed one to Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou waved his hand: "I don't smoke. I don't have a strong willpower. I definitely can't quit smoking, so it's better not to smoke from the beginning."
"You don't smoke and don't tease people, so what do you like?" Zhao Qing was stunned. He felt that Ye Zhou, who had so many supplies, was simply an ascetic monk.
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "I just love making money and doing business."
Zhao Qing shook his head slightly: "Your hobby is really unconventional."
There was no elevator in the new house, so they had to walk up by themselves.
Wu Yan was holding a wooden box - inside it were his children's toys and some small collections of him and his wife. He walked at the end of everyone and could see everyone clearly. Walking beside him was Sarah.
Sarah received a lot of attention from people along the way.
The people brought by Zhao Qing discussed Sarah's appearance and hair color all the way. In such a hot day, Sarah was still wearing a complicated puffy skirt. This was Sarah's own aesthetic. After all, people in the supermarket prefer to wear convenient and simple clothes.
"It's really white." Zhao Qing's people discussed in a low voice, "It looks exciting."
“I heard that Europeans look like this.”
"Go talk to her and trick her into coming here."
"Come on, you're responsible if something happens? If you really can't hold it in, go to the slums, you can choose a man or a woman."
"Are you so timid? I don't believe they dare to turn against our boss for a little girl."
"Didn't you notice that the ones who left at the end were the strongest ones from their side? That girl is also behind them. She might have some skills too. Don't try to steal the chicken but end up losing the rice."
"The gun that the tallest woman was carrying was something I had never seen before."
"She's stronger than any of the men."
“Is this still considered a woman?”
Chen Shu picked his ears and shouted to the people whose voices were getting louder and louder, "Speak louder so that I can hear you more clearly. I'm not a woman, but are you?"
Those people all looked at the man who was speaking, the man looked at Chen Shu, and the others laughed quietly, "I've never been scolded by a woman before."
The man was provoked by this and immediately cursed: "I'm talking about you! A woman is stronger than a man. Women should stay in the house honestly. If you don't obey, go to the slums. There are plenty of men who can teach you how to be a woman..."
Before he could finish his words, the red crosshairs were aimed at his heart.
Chen Shu held the gun and said expressionlessly: "Really? Then I can also teach you how to be a man first."
The man froze in place. He was certain that Chen Shu wouldn't dare to attack him, but when a gun was pointed at him, his whole body stiffened and his hair stood on end. The threat of death was imminent.
What if? What if she really dares to do it?
Both groups stopped immediately. Unless Chen Shu put down his gun, the others didn't dare to leave. The people on Zhao Qing's side also raised their guns.
Ye Zhou was about to go upstairs when he noticed something strange, and Zhao Qing also saw it.
Zhao Qing: “…”
"What's going on?" Ye Zhou called Wu Yan, who witnessed the whole process.
Wu Yan finished the whole story quickly.
Ye Zhou looked at Zhao Qing. Zhao Qing said, "We just had a quarrel. How can you just point your gun at me?"
Is this putting the blame on Chen Shu?
Regardless of whether Chen Shu was right or wrong, Ye Zhou could not bow his head at this time. He said calmly: "If my people do something wrong, I will take care of it. If your people do something wrong, of course you will take care of it."
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "That's true, but your people were the first to draw their guns. That's unacceptable."
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what his men said, but for the sake of supplies, he would be at a disadvantage if he made a fuss about it.
"Alright, alright, put your guns down." Zhao Qing shouted to his subordinates, "It's not a big deal, do we have to fight?"
After Zhao Qing finished speaking, all his men put down their guns.
Only Chen Shu was still pointing at the man. Chen Shu also knew that he couldn't make things difficult for Ye Zhou. But once people thought they were easy to mess with, they would be more likely to get in trouble. So Chen Shu said, "As long as he apologizes to me, that's fine."
Chen Shu: "I didn't do anything either. Or maybe we didn't use guns and just practiced."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Zhao Qing cheered: "Practice!"
"Fight! Fight!"
"Fight! Fight!"
"Don't be unconvinced even if you lose or die!"
They howled like wild animals.
Where there is little entertainment, violence and sex are the most readily available activities.
Chen Shu also cooperated. She threw the gun to Wu Yan, who quickly reached out to catch it. She stretched her body amid the cheers of the crowd and waved at the man: "Do you dare?"
The man's companions pushed him: "Go ahead, show this woman what you can do."
The man looked at Chen Shu's fist, then at her muscular arms. He had already begun to think of retreating, but after being encouraged by his companions, he moved his body.
The crowd made way for a space.
Zhao Qing looked at Ye Zhou: "Not stopping it?"
Ye Zhou: "They can handle their own affairs. If we interfere, it will be our own business."
Zhao Qing laughed: "You do have confidence in her."
Zhao Qing walked over anyway. He passed through the crowd and slapped his subordinate on the head. He said fiercely, "Are you still going to fight with the guests? And with a woman? If you don't mind my shame, I will do it for you!"
The man was stunned after being beaten, and it is shameful to hit the woman. What kind of logic is this?
Didn’t Zhao Qing beat women enough?
But he didn't dare to confront Zhao Qing, so he could only blush and whisper in shame, "I apologize. I'm sorry."
Chen Shu glanced at Zhao Qing, and Zhao Qing looked at her with a smile.
Chen Shu also laughed: "Boss Zhao is this."
She gave a thumbs-up.
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "We are very civilized here. It is not allowed to hit women, children and the elderly. Okay, okay, it's just a quarrel. What's wrong with a man bowing his head to a woman?"
Chen Shu took the gun from Wu Yan again and said in a good manner, "Yes, it is right for something that comes out of a woman's belly to bow down to her."
Zhao Qing did not respond, but his subordinates behind him glared at Chen Shu.
Ye Zhou shouted from the front: "Let's go, don't delay too long."
Zhao Qing also said to his subordinates: "Don't waste time looking for trouble!"
All the things were moved into the new house one by one. Ye Zhou and the employees all lived in the same building, but Ye Zhou, Zou Ming, Sarah and Cao'er lived on the top floor, and the rest of the people were arranged on the fourth and fifth floors.
After entering the house, Zhao Qing immediately didn't want to leave. Compared with here, his luxurious house was simply a doghouse. The whole house, except for the bathroom and kitchen, was covered with wooden floors. The furniture was almost all wooden furniture. There were flowers on the entrance cabinet, carpets in the living room, and fresh fruits on the glass coffee table.
Not to mention the temperature inside the room. I don’t know what kind of glass was used, but the sunlight coming in from the glass windows is not scorching.
Cao'er put her and Sarah's few luggage in the second bedroom, and put some food into the refrigerator. She was very busy.
Sarah sat on the sofa, and the first thing she did was to draw the curtains and turn on the projector to watch cartoons.
Although Zou Ming did not sit next to Sarah, he also sat on the sofa and looked at the curtain eagerly.
Ye Zhou and Zhao Qing walked to the enclosed balcony.
Without waiting for Zhao Qing to speak, Ye Zhou said, "You can change your place to this, but you should know the premise, right?"
Ye Zhou said naturally: "You can't afford this price, so why don't you live in the car first and then change it when you make money."
Zhao Qing: "You also saw that, for your people, I even scolded my own people."
Ye Zhou said indifferently: "You can let them fight, Chen Shu can't lose. You are protecting your own face, so don't bring this up."
Zhao Qing's expression changed, but he didn't say anything. He suddenly asked, "Where did you find that woman?"
He had also been to various major bases. In fact, even the daughter of the base ruler did not have enough resources to grow up to be like Chen Shu.
Whether men or women, they all pursue strength, but the source of strength requires meat and protein.
Zhao Qing ate a lot of good food and drank a lot but he didn't gain any fat. He didn't exercise, so he had no muscles at all.
But Chen Shu's muscles are too strong, even stronger than the body of the boss Ye Zhou. How many resources are needed to develop such muscles?
Ye Zhou: "She has her own way, and she doesn't need me to support her. We are in an employment relationship."
"So we have mutual responsibilities, but if your people offend her, I can't do anything about it."
Zhao Qing pulled the corner of his mouth, and Ye Zhou said, "Next time something like this happens, let them fight. Whether they win or lose is their own business. It has nothing to do with our business, and it won't hurt our relationship."
Ye Zhou smiled gently and said, "After all, I am a businessman, and harmony brings wealth."
The veins on Zhao Qing's forehead twitched. If a real fight broke out, he would be the one who would suffer.
No one would care how strong Chen Shu was, or how toned his body and muscles were. As long as they lost, it would mean that his men couldn't even beat a woman. Not only would their dignity be destroyed, but even a dog would dare to challenge him in the future.
He bet that if he hadn't gone up to stop it, Ye Zhou wouldn't care about it at all, and would even think that the woman fought well.
Zhao Qing hid his hatred and said, "Then you guys take a good rest. I will take over those cars and have someone deliver the things to you later."
Ye Zhou personally sent Zhao Qing out.
After seeing the person off, he glanced at Zou Ming, who was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons intently. He felt much more relaxed, and the smile on his lips became more sincere.
More than ten minutes after Zhao Qing left, Chen Shu came up from downstairs.
In order not to disturb the boy and Sarah watching cartoons, Ye Zhou took Chen Shu to the master bedroom.
"What do you think?" Ye Zhou asked.
Chen Shu laughed and said, "I was planning to cause trouble for them, and now they just happened to run into me."
Chen Shu looked at Ye Zhou's expression and found that Ye Zhou had a serious expression, so she restrained her smile and stood straight.
After a long while, when Chen Shu began to get nervous, Ye Zhou walked up to her, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well done."
Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhao Qing knows how to weigh the pros and cons, but his subordinates don't. If he doesn't stop us, it will be a good opportunity for them to see our military strength. Only when they see it with their own eyes can it be convincing."
"What a pity." Chen Shu shook his head. "Zhao Qing is smarter than I thought. I thought he would be so arrogant that I would definitely not be able to beat his men."
Chen Shu curled his lips: "And the way those guys spoke really deserved a beating."
Ye Zhou understood what Chen Shu meant. Moreover, among his employees, only he and Chen Shu could defeat these desperate criminals with bare hands. So, only Chen Shu could do this and test it out.
And the effect will be better than if Ye Zhou himself took the stage.
As long as she wins, others will think that Ye Zhou's fighting power is based on the average value of Chen Shu. Even if a woman is not as good as Chen Shu, she will not be much worse than the men here.
Ye Zhou: "Next time, you should give me a heads up so I can be mentally prepared."
"I won't give you a raise this time."
Chen Shu smiled and said, "Okay, but Boss, you are becoming more and more powerful now. I was shocked by your stern face and silence just now."
Ye Zhou said proudly: "This is called not showing my emotions on my face."
"Anyway, you can't suddenly attack me next time." Ye Zhou said seriously, "This is because Zhao Qing has brains. If he doesn't have brains, it will cause a fight between the two sides. I'm not sure that everyone can escape unscathed. Do you hear me?"
Chen Shu: "I know. I'll remember it."
After Chen Shu left, Ye Zhou changed into clean clothes and sat on the sofa to watch animation with Zou Ming and the others.
Sarah likes a lot of different animations and often skips episodes, so the boy follows her and watches them. He himself doesn't seem to have any preferences, as long as there's animation to watch.
After watching Chen Shu leave, the boy looked at Ye Zhou.
He likes watching TV, but now he is more curious about the house.
"Come, I'll take you to have a closer look and a tour." Ye Zhou said to the boy.
The boy immediately jumped off the sofa.
"You sleep in a room by yourself at night." Ye Zhou didn't know what the boy's preferences were for decoration, so his room was mainly clean and tidy. The walls were just painted white without any other colors. The room was equipped with a desk and chair, as well as a wardrobe and a bed.
There is also a carpet in the boy's room to prevent him from forgetting to put on shoes and getting out of bed.
Looking out the window of the boy's room, you can see endless sand dunes.
Ye Zhou would rather he see the desolate natural environment than have everything he could see be confined to this cruel base.
"Do you like it?" Ye Zhou lowered his head and asked the boy standing beside his legs.
His tone was gentler than he could imagine, as if he was not a child who had grown up in a cruel world, but a fragile glass product.
The boy lowered his head, but still whispered back, "I like it."
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "You will sleep here from now on. If there is anything you want, just tell me directly. Don't be embarrassed."
"Go check the closet." Ye Zhou gently pushed the boy's closet.
Ye Zhou specially moved the handle of the wardrobe down so that boys can open the wardrobe by just raising their arms instead of standing on tiptoe.
The boy opened the wardrobe.
He once had only one piece of clothing, and only when it was worn out and couldn't be worn out any more would he try to find the next one.
But now, his closet is filled with clothes he can wear, including coats, short-sleeved shirts, long pants and shorts. Except for the lack of winter clothes, there are almost all kinds of clothes.
"These are all sun protection clothes." Ye Zhou opened a cabinet, and there were more than a dozen sun protection clothes neatly stacked inside. "You have to wear them when you go out, otherwise you will be the one who suffers if you get sunburned."
The boy pursed his lips: "No, I have a way."
He wanted to prove that he was not so incompetent and that he would not get a sunburn on his own.
He said: "I would buy some water, mix it with yellow sand, and add a little wood burning ash, and apply it on my body so that I wouldn't get sunburned."
He looked at Ye Zhou, and he himself didn't know what his eyes were like.
But Ye Zhou knew. He smiled and ruffled the boy's hair, saying, "That's amazing. I didn't know these when I was your age."
The boy pursed his lips and looked at Ye Zhou, but his ears turned red.
Ye Zhou's eyes became softer, and the boy suddenly said, "It's not difficult. I can teach you."
Ye Zhou: "Okay, teach me when you have the chance, maybe it will be useful in the future."
A house of more than 100 square meters is not small. After all, there is no public area here, so it is what it is. On the first day of moving in, Ye Zhou even cooked for himself.
However, Ye Zhou hadn't cooked for a long time, and his cooking skills, which were not very good to begin with, became even worse.
Fortunately, among the people who were eating, Cao'er and the boy could eat everything, but Sarah only ate blood sausage cooked with chili.
On that rare leisurely day, Ye Zhou watched animated movies with them in the evening and made popcorn for them in the microwave.
Ye Zhou prepared to find an opportunity and spend more than ten years teaching the boy to read.
You have to learn mathematics, there is no other way.
·
The woman woke up and opened her eyes to look at the ceiling above her head. She could not feel any pain in her body and her whole body was numb, as if someone had put a strange dress on her and made her feel like her body did not belong to her.
She turned her head with difficulty. To her left was a window through which she could see the sky.
But there is no moon tonight, and even the stars are very sparsely arranged.
The woman didn't know where she was. Her memory stayed on that night when the man raised the branding iron towards her. She couldn't remember anything else.
But she was not afraid. Her body was numb and her mind was numb. She was not born in a slum and her parents were once "big shots" in the eyes of others. At least they could feed and bring up their children.
It is simply impossible for people at the bottom of society to raise their children.
Later, her parents died, she lost her shelter and ended up in the slums. In order to survive, she attached herself to her parents' former subordinates.
She could see that the man did not love her and was full of jealousy towards her parents, but it was precisely because of this jealousy that he agreed to her request and gave her a tin house to show that he possessed power that was no weaker than her parents.
But not long after, the man died outside.
She couldn't cling to anyone else.
The woman has no friends or relatives. She lives alone in the world. She wants to live, but at the same time she feels that it would be better to die.
She tried hard to find reasons to live, and she tried hard to make friends, and got to know the boy's adoptive mother.
It’s a pity that this friend died too early.
She started to think about the boy again. She didn't know how long she could live, but she hoped that while she was alive, she could be connected with someone, even if this connection could disappear at any time.
She felt that she could be the boy's mother, or sister, and that at certain moments they were friends and even relatives.
The woman closed her eyes tiredly and didn't open them until a long time later.
This time her mind was much clearer.
This time, she finally thought of the most important question at this moment -
Where is this.
