Lin Tao walked slowly along the pedestrian street towards the inner village. All he heard in his ears were the sounds of solicitations and shouts from young ladies. He habitually touched his pockets and wanted to take out a cigarette to smoke, but he remembered that the cigarettes had long been taken away.
Caleb's goods were gone. He looked up and looked around, and a small shop on the right came into view.
However, as soon as Lin Tao stepped into the canteen, he bumped into a woman. The woman was about to fall down with an "ouch", but luckily Lin Tao grabbed her. Lin Tao looked at the woman's beautiful appearance and immediately said with a smile.
: "Xia Lan, why are you preparing so recklessly?"
"Oh! I'll lock... lock the door!" Xia Lan also saw Lin Tao clearly and took a step back in a panic, holding up the key chain in her hand to Lin Tao with a pale face.
"That's good, come and pack cigarettes for me!" Lin Tao also noticed something strange about Xia Lan, but since Xia Lan came to the villa, she had always been very reserved in front of him, so he didn't think much about it.
Xia Lan on the opposite side nodded quickly, looked back at the shelf with a somewhat panicked look, then ran to the counter and took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Lin Tao, but Lin Tao said with a wry smile: "I don't smoke outside!"
"Ah?" Xia Lan was stunned. As Lin Tao's ex-girlfriend, she had even forgotten Lin Tao's habits. She looked embarrassed and changed another pack of Yuxi to Lin Tao. Seeing Lin Tao touching his pocket to take out his work score card, she hurriedly
He waved his hand and said, "No, I...I'll ask you to smoke it!"
When Lin Tao saw this, he didn't give in. After all, this was a matter of Xia Lan's face. He could take the cigarettes from Jasmine for free, but if he had to give money to Xia Lan, Xia Lan would definitely be embarrassed, so he nodded and tore it apart.
He opened a cigarette and lit one, then took out another and asked Xia Lan: "Want one?"
"No, I quit!" Xia Lan shook her head shyly. At this time, her expression seemed to start to look more natural. She looked at Lin Tao and asked, "Where did you go to drink? You smell of alcohol all over your body!"
"I sat in a bar at the end of the street, and Zhang Xu asked me to take care of them. As a result, I drank more than a pound!" Lin Tao smiled casually, and then asked: "How is it? You are here alone.
Is anyone busy enough to come here? Do you want to find someone to help you?"
"It's okay, I think it's good to be busy, and people are very fulfilling!" Xia Lan smiled and shook her head, her tone was very sincere.
In fact, the structure of Xia Lan's canteen is similar to that of the supply and marketing cooperative inside the villa. Although most of the materials inside are from the villa, they are only some unsalable goods that are sold here. Since Jasmine went to the neighborhood committee, the supply and marketing cooperative
It was left to the two wives of Zhang Xu's family to take charge, and Xia Lan did not stay in the news department in the end. Through Jasmine's mouth, she asked Lin Tao to run the canteen outside the village for her.
"Okay, go ahead. If you have any inconvenience, just tell me!" Lin Tao smiled and waved his hand. Xia Lan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she still swallowed the words when they reached her lips, and then walked away from the counter.
Xia Lan walked out and sent Lin Tao out of the door. Until Lin Tao's figure disappeared at the corner of the street, Xia Lan quickly closed the door, turned around and shouted angrily: "Give me your underwear, if you dare to come to my place again, I will definitely
I will perish together with you!"
"Yoyo~ Why are you so fierce? Your underwear is so wet that it's almost leaking water. Why do you need it? Hehehe~ I'm warning you to stop showing off to me, come here and stick your butt out..."
Lin Tao smoked a cigarette and walked out of the pedestrian street. Turning left was the large square of the villa, where some new refugees who had not yet been arranged were sleeping in the open. During this period, some staff of the villa could be seen adding wood to the heating fire and looking carefully with flashlights.
The physical condition of those refugees.
Lin Tao looked at the refugees but his eyes were not focused, because his thoughts were still on Xia Lan. It was not that he could not forget her old love, but that he already knew why Xia Lan was so panicked just now, because he was right there
Just when I turned around to go out, I accidentally discovered a pair of feet behind the shelf. They were a pair of men's feet wearing green rubber shoes.
These green rubber shoes are also called Jiefang shoes. They are an outdated and rustic product. They were discovered by a search team led by Zhou Meng in the warehouse of a shoe factory. Now these shoes are only used occasionally in the villa except when soldiers are training.
If you know how to wear it, people in the production team will wear it when they are working in the fields.
However, as time went by, this kind of Jiefang shoes absurdly became a symbol of the status of Neizhuang people, because now almost everyone knows that anyone who wears these shoes must be a serious Shanzhuang person, going to the bar to drink or
Fighting/cannonball is definitely the first target that merchants want to fawn over. Who knows that all people in Shanzhuang are not short of money? Many people in Neizhuang are proud to wear these Jiefang shoes!
Lin Tao held a cigarette in his mouth and thought about the man from the villa hiding behind the shelf. He didn't know who would be good with Xia Lan. It stands to reason that Xia Lan has always had high standards. She would not look down on ordinary men at all, and the people from the villa
Everybody knows
Xia Lan is his ex-girlfriend. Basically, no one would be bold enough to hook up with Xia Lan. After all, no one can figure out what Lin Tao is really thinking. If Lin Tao still has regrets about Xia Lan, that's not for him.
Looking for trouble yourself?
Lin Tao passed by the captains, deputy captains, and leading figures of several combat brigades one by one. However, starting from Zhang Xu, each of those guys was more dressed up than the last. There was no need to rely on the outdated green rubber shoes to prove their identity.
But there are only a few relatively high-status people in the villa. No matter how hungry Xia Lan is, she won't be forced to find a soldier, right?
Suddenly a fat and wretched figure flashed in Lin Tao's mind, was it Huang Baiwan? Lin Tao thought about it, and it seemed that the only possibility was that fat man. He only had a perverted and bold criminal record, and his methods were bad. If Xia
It's not impossible for Lan You's painful leg to be caught by him and forced into desperation!
But then I thought about it, since Fatty Fatty’s affair with Wang Hongli was exposed, Cao Mei also rushed to his house overnight and beat him up so hard in front of his wives that he felt like he was out of his body and ascended to heaven.
, hiding in the house and not daring to go out for several days, so this guy seems to be quite honest recently, and I haven't heard of anyone hooking up with anyone anymore.
The most important thing is that he has been arranged by Cao Mei to work as a steward in the casino. He came up with the latest gambling project in the casino, the Mountain Rat Race. Judging from the current time period, he should take his mountain rats with him.
It's better to compete with people in the casino. That damn fat man has always been gambling first and women second. There is no way he would waste his prime time on women. That would be even harder than killing him!
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, but Lin Tao soon smiled bitterly. Xia Lan was no longer his woman. She naturally has the right to find happiness. What are you thinking about here? Maybe Xia Lan
Lan has long since changed her past and has fallen in love with the fresh type like Zhu Wei. It is not impossible to find an innocent boy!
Lin Tao turned around and flicked the cigarette butt in his hand. When he looked up, he saw that the lights of a small courtyard were still on in front of him. The small courtyard was located beside the wall of the inner village. There was a white wooden plaque hanging next to the courtyard door.
Written clearly in black calligraphy - Jindian Villa Population Management Office!
Lin Tao originally wanted to go home. When he saw that the lights inside were still on, he raised his legs and walked over. There were two female soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the courtyard. When they saw Lin Tao coming, they all saluted and said hello. Lin Tao also said back
He was polite, but he walked in very unceremoniously.
The yard is not big. Except for a bluestone path in the middle, drought-tolerant plants are planted in other places in the yard, and sunshade nets are carefully built on them, adding a touch of green to the yard, and the path is
At the end are five offices lined up. The layout is very similar to Yang Xiaomei's police station, but it is twice as small and not as lavish as Chief Yang's.
Only two of the five offices still had lights on. Lin Tao climbed up the stairs. When he walked to the second one from the right, he saw a secretarial room sign hanging on the door. Through the window, he could see two little girls inside.
The old man was taking a nap while leaning on the chair, his mouth watering. One of them was No. 6, who had basically returned to normal, and everyone finally knew her real name - Li Weiwei!
Lin Tao sighed helplessly. It was really the master's luck that the hard-working servants were suffering. It was their misfortune to find Cao Mei, a woman who was addicted to officialdom. Even if they followed Cao Mei until dawn every day, Lin Tao would not give them promotions.
, because these two are, to put it bluntly, retainers, and their scope of appointment has been restricted to their mistress.
After walking through the secretarial room, the last office is also the largest. The windows are blocked by thick curtains, and only a little light shines through. It is quiet inside. If you listen carefully, there seems to be the "rustling" of some pen tips rubbing against the paper.
"Voice.
"Dong dong dong..."
Lin Tao gently knocked on the wooden door of the office, and a capable female voice soon came from inside: "Come in!"
Lin Tao unscrewed the doorknob and walked in. What he saw was a spacious and regular office. Next to the door was a set of black leather sofas. A set of exquisite tea sets was placed on the large coffee table with a jade top. In the corner were two high-end mahogany tea sets.
The filing cabinet was almost filled with all kinds of folders, and a luxurious boss's desk was placed in the middle. On it was a lifelike bronze eagle statue with wings spread high.
And right next to this bronze eagle, a wooden photo frame is very eye-catching. Inside is a color photo. The protagonists are a man and a woman. The woman is charming, charming, and cuddling up with a happy smile.
Next to a tall man, the background is the top of the mountain peak of Jindian Villa, and the vast expanse below the mountain is like the vast Gobi Desert!
The beautiful young woman in the photo is sitting behind the boss's desk and writing hard. Her long black hair is pinned back by a butterfly hairpin. She is wearing a black Chanel business suit, with a white bra underneath that is just right.
Protecting a pair of beauties that can make people want to die and die again, but on the ring finger of the young woman's right hand, a sparkling diamond ring has already shown her married status.
The beautiful young woman didn't seem to notice Lin Tao's arrival. She lay on the table and frowned attentively, and smiled slightly. She had a temperament of having everything under control, quite like a strong woman in the workplace, and she was so focused and capable.
Her appearance is also very charming, and it can easily arouse men's desire to conquer her.
Lin Tao did not speak, but silently walked to the tea table aside, poured a cup of warm water, walked over and gently placed it on the beautiful young woman's hand. The beautiful young woman took the tea cup without raising her head and took a sip, and then continued to immerse herself in writing, while
While writing, he said: "Did Mr. Lin ask someone to come over to urge you?"
?You go and tell him that I will be back in half an hour. By the way, it is Cai Linlin’s turn to sleep with me tonight, right? If you tell her again, her own life does not matter. If she dares to stand up again,
The big belly seduce me, if it hurts the child in her belly, don’t even think about her little life!”
"Uh..." Lin Tao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Cao Mei and the others were monitoring everything. He only accompanied Cai Linlin once in half a month, and he only spent more than half an hour doing mischief with her. Cao Mei actually even did this
Everyone knew it, and one could imagine the depression in his heart. He sat down on the leather chair opposite Cao Mei, angrily lit up a cigarette and started smoking.
As soon as Cao Mei smelled the smoke, she immediately realized something was wrong. Li Weiwei didn't know how to smoke. She looked up and saw that it was Lin Tao in front of her. The initial shock quickly turned into surprise. She threw away the pen holder in her hand, excited.
He stood up and said, "Husband, why are you here?"
"You are a busy man who is so busy every day that you don't even have a home. As your husband, can you come and see me?" Lin Tao leaned on the chair with a face full of ridicule, stretched his body and put his feet on Cao Cao in an extremely inelegant way.
Mei's boss sat at the table and asked with a smile: "Director Cao, there is something that I always don't understand. Why are you working so hard? Are you planning to be promoted to a higher position to compete for the next female position?
Owner?"
"That's nonsense! Aren't they just thinking about your face?" Seeing Lin Tao coming, Cao Mei's strong woman attitude disappeared in an instant. She jumped over the table and threw herself into Mr. Lin's arms.
Acting like a baby, he then sat on his lap and said: "To put it bluntly, my position is the function of most of the county government. Zhu Deli is afraid of being said by others.
Gossip, so he kept his posture very straight, and he didn’t even ask about things that were not his business. Now I need to coordinate the affairs of various departments. If I mess up, they will definitely not laugh at me.
Little woman, I have a problem with you, Master Lin Dazhuang, saying that you are nepotistic and do not know people well. You said that I would not fight tooth and nail for you?"
"From what I say, you really have my best interests at heart. I guess this will tire my little baby. You should go home in a few days. How about finding another wise man to accept your position?"
Lin Tao put his arms around Cao Mei's waist and looked at her with a playful expression.
"That won't work!" Cao Mei's expression changed and she said hurriedly: "Now the population of the villa is increasing, not including the floating population, it has exceeded the 15,000 mark. Even if we are not as good as a county,
At least it's a town, right? There's no reason to change things day and night, it'll make people laugh, it's okay if I'm tired, as long as you feel sorry for me, that's all!"
"Haha! Bullshit, don't tell me the truth. You feel uncomfortable just because you are not an official for a day. If you want to manage people, just say so. If you are really capable, I will give you the position of the owner of the village!" Lin Tao said seriously!
