It seemed that only in Strait City could Lin Zhiming truly relax.
This is his hometown and the place where his childhood and youthful memories lie.
Although the unpleasant things in those memories accounted for the vast majority, it still did not prevent Lin Zhiming from thinking about them often.
However, when Lin Zhiming looked around, he found that there were slightly fewer people around.
This is the most prosperous pedestrian street in Strait City. Now it is time to get off work. Many white-collar workers working nearby will take advantage of their off work time to come here to have a walk, have a meal or something before going back. Not to mention the huge crowd, but at least it is
It was crowded, but now there are only a few people.
"Hey, our company is going to lay off employees tomorrow. I really hope it's not me. It's so hard to find a job now!"
A young man sitting next to Lin Zhiming sighed.
"Our company can't pay the salary this month! I really don't know what to do!" A woman next to the young man said helplessly.
Lin Zhiming glanced at the two people beside him and found that they were all office workers in uniforms.
"Is the market sluggish recently?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
The young man glanced at Lin Zhiming and found that Lin Zhiming looked familiar. He thought that Lin Zhiming also worked nearby, so he said, "What, isn't there any problem in your company?"
"No." Lin Zhiming shook his head.
"That's great. Our company has problems. It is said that some time ago a foreigner defrauded many bosses of their money, which broke the capital chain and affected the entire Strait City business district. These days
Several big companies have gone bankrupt in just a few months," the young man said.
"Oh!" Lin Zhiming suddenly realized, remembering what Gu Feiyan told him before.
A few months ago, the Chinese named James was engaged in financing in Strait City. As a result, he defrauded tens of billions of funds and then donated money and ran away to the Stars and Stripes. Strait City is only a third-tier city, with tens of billions of funds.
Once they were defrauded, the entire city's business district was severely affected.
Gu Feiyan's law firm is said to be representing this case. However, James has returned to the Star-Spangled Country. Coupled with his Star-Spangled Country nationality, it is almost impossible to get James to cough up the money.
Something happened.
Lin Zhiming thought of several of his friends in the Straits City business district, and didn't know if they had been affected.
Sismail's restaurant had a high turnover rate, so it wasn't long before it was Lin Zhiming's turn.
Lin Zhiming ordered a chef's steak, plus a salad and French fries.
He didn't ask anyone to call Tian Xinyu out to meet him. In fact, he just came to have a simple dinner.
However, someone still recognized him and spread the news to the kitchen.
Not long after, Tian Xinyu came to Lin Zhiming's table carrying Lin Zhiming's steak.
"Boss Lin." Tian Xinyu called out nervously and placed the steak in front of Lin Zhiming.
"Xiaotian, we meet again." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
Just this sentence from Xiao Tian made Tian Xinyu's face turn red. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Lin Zhiming. She said in a weak voice, "Yes, yes, we meet again."
"Business is not bad, congratulations!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Thank you, thank you, Boss Lin." Tian Xinyu stuttered.
"Go and do your business and leave me alone." Lin Zhiming said.
"Oh..." Tian Xinyu nodded, seeming a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to say anything to Lin Zhiming, so he turned around and walked to the kitchen, looking at Lin Zhiming more as he walked.
Lin Zhiming didn't pay much attention to Tian Xinyu. He carefully finished a steak, then paid and got up and walked out of the restaurant.
Arriving outside the restaurant, Lin Zhiming's cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and took a look and found that it was a call from the Imperial Capital.
Lin Zhiming picked up the phone, and Old Sun's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Lin Zhiming, you actually sold me a CNC lathe as a photolithography machine!"
It was obvious that Mr. Sun already knew the identity of the machine in the container.
"I never said it was a photolithography machine from the beginning to the end. I said it was a CNC lathe!" Lin Zhiming said helplessly.
"How dare you sell me a CNC lathe for 10 billion?!" Mr. Sun asked.
"How much it sells for is my business. I just said it's okay to sell it for 100 billion, right?" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"You...return that 10 billion right now, right now!" Mr. Sun said.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sun. This is a serious business. One is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell. I don't support returns within seven days without any reason. If you want the lathe, just keep it. If you don't want to, just throw it away. If you want to use other means, let me return it.
Money, feel free to come, but you have to remember that I am not just any passerby, I am the honorary Dragon King of the Dragon Clan. I will kill a few people on the wanted list in the future and become the real Dragon King of the Dragon Clan. Before you deal with me, you must first
Weigh your weight." Lin Zhiming said coldly.
Weigh your weight?
Sun Haisheng has not heard anyone say such arrogant words to him for decades. As one of the top leaders of the Dragon Clan, the only people who dare to say such things to him are noble people, and noble people disdain to say such things, so
Normally he would never hear such words in his life.
However, he heard it today, and what made him most uncomfortable was that the person who said this couldn't do anything to him because of his status!
With a click, Lin Zhiming hung up the phone.
Mr. Sun's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
"Mr. Sun, what should I do with this lathe?" his subordinate asked in a low voice.
"What should I do? What else can I do if he sends him back? Did he lose him?!" Sun Haisheng asked with a dark face.
"Yes, yes!" His subordinates nodded repeatedly.
"Lin Zhiming, you got the photolithography machine but you didn't hand it over to the country. I will definitely report you to the higher authorities. If I can't deal with you, there will always be someone who can! By then, don't even think about using it up.
I'll get some credit for the engraving machine!" Sun Haisheng said to himself with a dark face.
Strait City.
Lin Zhiming hung up the phone and smiled contemptuously.
He seemed to have seen Sun Haisheng's angry look, and he was extremely happy in his heart. For such a person who couldn't wait to grab credit, it was undoubtedly a very interesting thing to make him suffer.
"Lin, Boss Lin!"
A timid voice suddenly came from Lin Zhiming's ear.
Lin Zhiming was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw Tian Xinyu standing behind him with a nervous expression.
"Why are you here?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I...what...I..." Tian Xinyu fiddled with her fingers nervously, as if she wanted to tell Lin Zhiming something, but she couldn't say it because she was too nervous.
"Don't be nervous, speak slowly." Lin Zhiming said.
Tian Xinyu took a few deep breaths, and then said, "I... I will celebrate my birthday tomorrow, tomorrow night, in the restaurant, can you come?"
"Your birthday tomorrow night?" Lin Zhiming looked at Tian Xinyu in surprise and said, "How old are you?"
"Two, twenty years old." Tian Xinyu said.
"Twenty years old? Then you should be studying relatively early...Okay, I'll come over tomorrow night!" Lin Zhiming said with a smile. He actually planned to set off from Strait City tomorrow to hunt the people on the wanted list, but since Tian Xinyu
It’s my birthday tomorrow, so it doesn’t matter if I go out a day later.
"Thank you, thank you!" Tian Xinyu said excitedly, and it was obvious that she was very happy.
"You're welcome, I'll leave first!" Lin Zhiming waved to Tian Xinyu, then turned and left.
Tian Xinyu stood there, looking at Lin Zhiming's retreating back, and clenched her hands excitedly.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Zhiming drove to Shanyang Cemetery in Haikai City.
It was already dark by now, and the cemetery was extremely quiet.
Lin Zhiming brought a bouquet of flowers and arrived in front of a cemetery under the guidance of the street lamp.
There is a tombstone on the cemetery, but there are two names on the tombstone, one is Yao Jianyong, and the other is Zhou Yanqiu.
This is the tomb where Yao Jianyong and Zhou Yanqiu were buried together. They were buried here after they were killed.
Lin Zhiming had numerous grievances with the two of them when they were alive, but now that they are gone, the grievances have naturally been put aside by Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming simply cleaned the graves and then placed flowers in front of their graves.
No matter how they treated him, after all, they were Lin Zhiming's parents-in-law, so Lin Zhiming came over to see them this time.
"I've avenged my revenge for you. I heard that Jingjing is doing well by herself abroad. Yao An and I have also arranged a good job for you. The two elders can rest in peace down there!" Lin Zhiming stood there.
Said in front of the tombstone.
The cold wind was blowing, and it seemed that Yao Jianyong and his wife were responding to Lin Zhiming.
After standing in front of the grave for a while, Lin Zhiming turned around and left.
Half an hour later, Lin Zhiming drove into Phoenix Villa.
The community is still as quiet and peaceful as ever.
Lin Zhiming had not been back for a long time, so he did not go back to his residence immediately, but drove his car around the community.
While walking around, Lin Zhiming found that the lights in many villas were turned off, and it seemed that no one was living inside.
Lin Zhiming was a little surprised, and then drove back to the front of his villa.
As soon as the car parked, I saw several trucks driving by.
Lin Zhiming stood on the roadside and looked at the trucks and found that the trucks contained a lot of furniture.
Is this a move?
Lin Zhiming was a little curious.
At this moment, a Hyundai Elantra following the truck stopped in front of Lin Zhiming.
The Elantra's window was rolled down, and Lin Zhiming saw Xia Zhengzhi with white hair.
Xia Zhengzhi at this time was completely different from Lin Zhiming when they met a few months ago. At that time, Xia Zhengzhi was very proud, but now Xia Zhengzhi looks like he is twenty or thirty years older. Not only is his hair white.
The eyes were darkened, and the whole person looked extremely haggard.
"Mr. Lin!" Xia Zhengzhi looked at Lin Zhiming in surprise.
"Lao Xia, are you moving?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Yes." Xia Zhengzhi smiled bitterly and said, "I sold the villa and moved back to my ancestral home."
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
