Chapter 309: Trampled Mind
"Okay, that's for you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Sheng Mu nodded in response, and then she took out the return gift she was going to give to the head of the Sanger Star from her spiritual power clasp and handed it to the soldier standing across from her.
“…… No hassle. After taking the pile of food that Sheng Mu took out, the soldier came back to his senses for a long time, and replied that he now felt that the Terran man opposite either didn't know how to bribe others, or he didn't want to bribe the powerful at all, otherwise what did the other party mean by putting such a pile of food in front of the head of the district! Although it is a tradition to give food as a gift for the New Year's Festival, it is not popular for the upper class to give food and food!
Could it be that this Terran man in front of him really didn't know that some powerful people used food and gifts before the New Year to receive some kind of bribe? Even a second-class soldier like me knew the truth, how could this man in front of him who could barely live in a villa with a price of more than 10 million interstellar coins not understand!
Could it be that the other party really didn't have the intention of bribing the powerful people who lived in the Villa of Antila? Then this person's painting style is inevitably too strange......
"Goodbye then. Unaware that the soldier was complaining in her heart, she looked at the other party and said goodbye, and then she walked over to the next neighbor's house to return the gift.
Strangely, except for one of the remaining four tenants who had personally visited the house where they had given them New Year's gifts, the servants of the other three residents would stare at her with an inexplicable gaze when they saw her return gifts, which made her confused, and when she was about to return to her villa, she only came back to her taste a little, thinking that maybe the nine residents who had given her and her two friends New Year's gifts might not want her kind of gift in return, but wanted another kind of ......
But even if the other eight residents are counted, will the head of the Sanger Star District reach out so blatantly to ask for bribes? Isn't he afraid that others will accuse him of corruption and bribery?
Anyway, in addition to the fact that there are more men and fewer women, and the rulers restrict women's freedom to marry in disguise, Sheng Mu actually doesn't know much about the officialdom of these rulers in Guanghe Interstellar, and Ah Hong, who is more than ten years younger than her, knows these things better than her, but she still hopes that she misunderstood this matter......
However, when Sheng Mu returned to the villa, he saw Ji Hong spitting bitterness at Shen Su.
Ji Hong, who was talking impassionedly to Shen Su, immediately told what she had encountered along the way after seeing Sheng Mu, who had just entered the villa.
"Ah Sheng, we shouldn't have given them gifts in return! No, we shouldn't have received their New Year's gifts in the first place! I thought they came to give us New Year's gifts because of their neighborhood relations! It turned out that they wanted to get something from us! Do you think we seem to be the kind of people who want to ask for them and want to cling to them!" Ji Hong said angrily and hurriedly, thinking of the disdainful eyes of those servants looking at her, and thinking of the actions of those servants who turned around and threw the gifts she gave her into the decomposition garbage bin outside the villa, she couldn't be angry!
What if they have money and power! She also has friends who can casually take out priceless spiritual springs and colored pith star crystals! What arrogance is there one by one! Obviously, even half of her family's Ah Sheng's fingers can't compare!
"What the hell is going on? Don't be angry and speak slowly?" Sheng Mu, who saw Ji Hong so angry for the first time, hurriedly sat down beside the other party and said comfortingly.
“…… When I went to give the first resident a return gift, I found that the maid's expression was a little wrong when he received the gift, and then when I finished giving the gift and hadn't left far, I found that the maid had thrown all the return gifts I had sent into the decomposition bin outside the villa!
Then Ji Hong, who seemed to remember something, looked at Sheng Mu with a bad face and asked, "Except for the head of the district, did the other four families also throw away the return gift you sent?"
"This ...... I didn't know very well, but I turned around and walked away after handing them the return gift, not even noticing if they threw the return gift I sent into the decomposition bin...... By the way, why do you say anything other than the district chief?" After explaining the situation of his original gift, Sheng Mu looked at Ji Hong and asked.
"As the head of the Sanger Star, no matter how stupid the other party's subordinates are, they will not be stupid enough to throw gifts in front of others, which will destroy the image of the head of the region, and besides, what soldier dares to casually throw things belonging to his superiors without the consent of his superiors! And the people who gave us New Year's gifts were all businessmen except the mayor, and businessmen like to make friends with people who are beneficial to themselves, but there are more than 30 households in the Antilla villa area, and we have not received New Year's gifts from other residents, which also proves that some powerful people who live there don't bother to associate with us at all, but how could the mayor of the district do that kind of thing with the face of Sangerxing, so I think the reason why the other party gave us New Year's gifts is just to look good. I don't think about our return at all, I believe he has already sent a box of beautifully packaged food to other residents living in Antila's villa area, maybe a little more advanced than giving it to us, maybe it is the same as giving it to everyone, anyway, people like him are not bad enough to rush to tie up their own, as for what kind of gift we return, the other party doesn't care at all. After thinking about it, Ji Hong looked at Sheng Mu and explained, in fact, she also wanted to say that after the head of the district saw the return gift they sent, he would immediately ask his subordinates to throw it away......
And Sheng Mu and Shen Su couldn't help but applaud on the spot after listening to Ji Hong's tirade.
"Ah Hong, you are so powerful, I didn't even think of this! But why do those people want to throw away the gifts we gave? If you don't want to, you can refuse? You are not afraid of being punished for wasting food like this!" Shen Su said angrily, she knew that this would be the result, so she wouldn't let Ah Sheng and Ah Hong go to give back gifts, so that she could eat a few more hot pots and snacks!
However, after thinking that there might be someone who would come to give the three of them New Year's gifts, and maybe throw away the hot pot and dim sum again, Shen Su couldn't help but look at the two friends and said a little worried: "What if someone else comes to give us New Year's gifts? I don't want my dim sum and hot pot to be sacrificed in vain again......
"That's easy, just buy a gift of the same value as a return gift, and wrap this on me first." Sheng Mu smiled, thinking that those people would not care about the return gifts made by the three of them anyway, so they would not bother, and those people must know that they would not get any benefit from them after seeing the return gifts of the same value that they had sent, with the shrewdness of those upper-class people.
In fact, what Sheng Mu wanted to do most was to directly refuse the gifts sent by those people, but after all, the three of them had neither connections nor power in Sangexing, so instead of offending those powerful people in this way, it was better to completely cut off the idea of those people wanting to make friends with the three of them by sending gifts of the same value in return, anyway, this would not offend those people, and there would be no worries.
"I have to do it first. After Ji Hong sighed, she said, thinking that after paying the property fees for the whole year and buying the New Year's goods, she and Ah Su would have little money left, so they could only let Ah Sheng pay for those people first.
