Chapter 22: The House
Soon, Qu Xiuqi's face appeared on the tablet in Lily's hand, and Ye Liqi took the tablet handed over by Lily and inserted the headphones into his ears.
"Ye Li." On the screen, Qu Xiuqi looked at Ye Liqi without the slightest surprise, and said with a smile.
Ye Liqi nodded: "It's me, Captain Qu." ”
"What's the matter?" Qu Xiuqi asked.
Ye Liqi looked at Qu Xiuqi's expression: "I chose not to join the military department's special recruitment awakened team. ”
Qu Xiuqi was not surprised: "I guessed, but I don't know the reason, can you tell me about it, in fact, I thought you would like life in the army very much, after all, your achievements are not fake." ”
"There's no special reason, it's just that I've been quitting for three years and I'm used to the life I have now." Ye Liqi smiled.
Qu Xiuqi sighed, "It's a pity." Looking at Ye Liqi, Qu Xiuqi turned to ask: "Lily said that you still want to add another additional condition, what, do you think the current treatment is not generous enough?" ”
Ye Liqi shook his head and said to Qu Xiuqi: "You misunderstood, I didn't ask for this. ”
"Oh?" Qu Xiuqi was a little puzzled, looked at Ye Liqi, and said curiously: "Then what additional conditions do you want?" ”
Ye Liqi lowered his head and thought about it, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Captain Qu should know what my situation is now, the 200,000 arrears are not what I have the ability to repay now, maybe I can repay it by points after I do a few tasks, but I have more important things to ask you." ”
Qu Xiuqi narrowed his eyes slightly, away from the computer, and could tell that he seemed to be sitting in the office now.
"More importantly, request?" Qu Xiuqi said interestingly.
Ye Li's fingers moved: "Actually, I think there should be a third plan in addition to those two plans." ”
Qu Xiuqi chuckled, and there were two shallow crow's feet superimposed at the corners of his eyes, but they did not look old at all, but set off a more mature one.
"You come to my office and we'll talk in detail." After a while, Qu Xiuqi said.
Ye Lili nodded and handed the tablet to Lily.
Lily took it, not knowing what Qu Xiuqi had explained, Lily nodded a few times, and then hung up the video communication.
"Ms. Ye, Captain Qu said to let you go to his office to find him, on the fourth floor of the Strange Ability Institute, 405." Lily said.
Ye Lili nodded, and Lily said again: "Please put your Awakened Bracelet close to the instrument, and I will give you a command to enter the fourth floor." ”
Holding the Awakened Bracelet close to the blue screen, Lily tapped the keyboard lightly over there, and soon Ye Li's Awakened Bracelet lit up.
"You can go to Captain Qu now, and don't forget to go to the tenth window opposite to change your personal terminal, good luck and see you next time." Lily smiled.
Ye Lili thanked Lily, got up and walked to the elevator.
Use the Awakened Bracelet to open the elevator, and with a swipe on the blue screen inside, the elevator will automatically rise and stop on the fourth floor, and then the Awakened Bracelet will go black again.
Finding four to five, Ye Liqi stopped at the door, looked at the golden nameplate above the door that read "Captain's Office", and knocked lightly on the door.
"Enter." Qu Xiuqi's peculiar warm voice came.
Ye Liqi gently pushed the door open.
It's a small office, with three white walls, and a transparent glass curtain wall in the direction of the doorway, through which everything can be seen through the bright glass wall.
"This will be the center of Fangcheng in the future." Qu Xiuqi didn't know when he got up from the office chair, walked to Ye Liqi's side and whispered.
Ye Liqi glanced back at Qu Xiuqi, nodded slightly, and said, "Captain Qu." ”
Qu Xiuqi smiled, took a few steps forward, stood in front of the glass curtain wall, and looked at everything outside the window with his hands behind his back: "In the past, this was the suburb of Fangcheng, but in the future, everything in Fangcheng will develop around here, not only Fangcheng, but also every city on the home planet, they will be the center of the city." ”
Ye Liqi also slowly approached, looking at the street below where few people passed, and did not make a sound.
Qu Xiuqi suddenly chuckled: "What, don't believe it?" Still don't think it's going to grow so fast? Did you know that the price here used to be around 3,000, but it went up to 6,000 the night it was established? ”
Glancing at Ye Liqi, Qu Xiuqi asked, "Do you know how much money it is now?" ”
Ye Liqi hesitated, but still shook her head, to be honest, she had been thinking about the Awakened and the Abilities all along, and she hadn't learned about them.
"Now in the area around Fangcheng, that is, not the vicinity of the ability, the house price is still about three thousand, and some have even dropped to more than two thousand, and it is in this area." Qu Xiuqi stretched out his finger and pointed to the empty street in front of him and the elementary school and houses opposite.
"The area around here has risen to 10,000." Qu Xiuqi said, "And it's still priceless." ”
"Do you know what that means?" Qu Xiuqi asked Ye Liqi.
Ye Liqi shook his head slightly, but he understood Qu Xiuqi's meaning in his heart.
"This represents the status of the Awakened on the home planet in the future, and the Ability Institute is the most obvious contrast, following the wind of the Awakened, the tide rises."
After a moment of silence, Qu Xiuqi suddenly chuckled, looked at Ye Liqi, and his eyes flashed with wisdom: "You came to me to talk about the third plan?" ”
Ye Liqi watched Qu Xiuqi slowly walk back behind the wide desk, and she also sat opposite Qu Xiuqi, she knew that this battle had already fallen to her before the fight began.
"Yes, the third option." Ye Liqi nodded timidly and admitted, which made Qu Xiuqi somewhat surprised.
"Let's talk about it." Qu Xiuqi made a gesture of listening attentively.
Ye Liqi thought about it, and did not directly say the third plan, but also started with the house price: "According to the meaning of the head of the group, I believe that the current house price of my yard should have been fried to five thousand to eight thousand." ”
Qu Xiuqi was slightly surprised, but he still nodded and said, "That's true." ”
Ye Liqi smiled slightly, and directly stated the purpose of his coming here today: "Captain Qu understands my past and knows my current situation, so I want to beg Captain Qu if you can forgive me the 200,000 arrears." ”
Qu Xiuqi couldn't help but glance at Ye Liqi's body again when he heard this, and sighed funny: "The tone is not small, one mouth is 200,000 ......"
Ye Liqi smiled, and Qu Xiuqi continued: "If all the awakened people rely on the fact that they were once veterans and are now awakened people, do I want to fulfill the wishes of each of them, as far as your current requirements are concerned, don't say that you only chose the first option, that is, if you choose to join the special recruitment awakened team of the military department, I will think about it carefully, not to mention ......"
Before Qu Xiuqi could finish speaking, Ye Liqi interrupted him: "Actually, I'm sorry, Captain Qu, I didn't finish what I asked. ”
Qu Xiuqi slowly closed his mouth and looked at Ye Lingqi, the warmth in his eyes dropped little by little.
Ye Liqi didn't care about this, and then said his own: "Actually, I'm not just here today for my 200,000 arrears. ”
"In fact, what I want is all the ownership of my yard in the future." Ye Liqi said lightly.
Qu Xiuqi frowned slightly, looked at Ye Liqi, his face was puzzled, and his voice was cold and indifferent: "I don't understand what you mean, don't mention the 200,000 for the time being, isn't this house yours, and you can still use it in the future." ”
Ye Liqi shook his head and said to Qu Xiuqi: "In fact, this is true, but what I want is not what I want in this regard, of course, it may be very simple for you, but it is very important to me." ”
Qu Xiuqi nodded: "Let's talk about it." ”
"You know the specific location of my home, that is, in the future, with the nearby strange place, the housing prices in this area will rise, and my house will still not be the main street, at most it will be one of the houses on both sides, and even if it is demolished in the future, I will roughly calculate, my place will be changed to a commercial area at most, not a central area, or a residential house behind the bustling commercial area, maybe it will be changed into a villa area or something."
After a pause, Ye Liqi continued: "Of course, in terms of the current development of Fangcheng, at least within a hundred years, it will not change much, and it will become the kind of place in the center of a first-tier or second-tier city, which means that there will not be too many high-rises, so what I want is very simple." ”
Glancing at the quiet Qu Xiuqi, Ye Liqi said: "I just want the land use right and land contract management right of my yard." ”
Qu Xiuqi's eyes were really round in surprise this time, and he laughed out loud for a while, but the tone sounded more like a sneer: "What are you kidding, how can this be ......?"
Ye Liqi interrupted Qu Xiuqi's words again, "I know that the current house has seventy years of permission, to put it simply, what I want is the number of years after that." ”
Qu Xiuqi was slowly silent, and all the previous surprise and dissatisfaction were all taken back, looking at Ye Liqi quietly, rubbing the teacup lightly with his fingers, and asked slowly: "So, what is the third plan you said?" ”
Ye Liqi bent the corners of his mouth and looked at Qu Xiuqi: "What I can rely on is my ability, oh, Captain Qu, I forgot to ask, I don't know if you know what my ability is?" ”
Qu Xiuqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "According to the investigation given, it should be dark attribute energy, which is one of the reasons why I am so polite to you." ”
Ye Liqi pursed the corners of her lips, Qu Xiuqi directly said his bottom line, and in the same way, she should also come up with something.
Without too much nonsense, Ye Liqi directly gave his own answer.
His eyes fell on the ashtray in front of Qu Xiuqi, and the transparent crystal ashtray contained a lot of ash, which was enough to show the owner's anxious mood.
I saw a faint black mist-like thing flash, and the transparent crystal ashtray quickly disintegrated and disappeared in the air, and soon the table was covered with ash, and the beautiful crystal ashtray was nowhere to be found.
