Chapter Twenty-Six: The Order Society (II)
"Cogs?"
"Yes, it's a strange name, but I don't think I can find a better description for a while." Xie Junping is like a hard-working salesman, but the effect is mediocre.
Ronan tapped his forehead, similar movements had become a habit during this time, and it also made his concentration less concentrated.
As they spoke, the two turned past the natural forest wall barrier, and after a short time they saw the front of the building.
As if I had just glimpsed it, the faΓ§ade of the building was rusty red, not like any of the colors of the surrounding nature, but like rusted metal, with a hint of lacquer. However, the main body of the building is covered by the long vines and weeds that grow in the jungle, and the sky in the jungle is getting darker at this time, and the overall layout is not visible.
Xie Junping was a little worried that this appearance would give Ronan a bad impression, and hurriedly added: "In the past two years, there has been less repair, and the environment is a bit chaotic, but it is definitely surprising inside." β
Ronan has nothing to do, and he doesn't speak, it depends on what Xie Junping wants to do.
The two of them walked along the path from the wild grass to the main entrance of the building, which should have opened up a small square before, but due to the lack of people, it had been occupied by the jungle counterattack. If the door hadn't been closed, the long vines that had grown in the wetland would have been able to reach into the main hall.
Today, the whole building is surrounded by jungle, and the small square is already the best view in the vicinity, but it is still difficult to see the whole picture.
At this time, Ronan realized that "there is no one here?" β
"There were some from last semester, and now it's an empty shell."
Xie Junping connected to the brain permission through the bracelet, and at that moment, the metal main door of the building was raised, and the hall space inside automatically lit up.
Xie Junping led Ronan into the door, and explained to him at the same time: "This place currently belongs to the 'Order Club', which is a very active old club, and I even heard that it was established before the establishment of the school, and in its heyday, it attracted more than ten Fortune 500 level big sponsors, which is very bullish." But there are too many big financiers, and it is also troublesome. Especially after the graduation of the previous generations of old members, the juniors relied on their respective financiers and competed for joy. In 90 and 93, there were two major accidents in a row, which were very bad in nature, and the school banned the qualifications for recruiting new members, and it collapsed all of a sudden. β
At this moment, the two walked into the empty hall. There is no square pattern here, with a swing staircase, a straight elevator, and a circular silhouette that cuts the hall and suggests an extension to a wider space.
Xie Junping shrugged: "In this building, the main structure is the circle, which is probably why it is called 'gear'. It is said that the fifteen main rooms and halls inside, including a large patio that runs through all the floors, are all round and frantically round. You might get a little dizzy when you come in at first, but it's good to get used to it. β
Ronan didn't feel uncomfortable, but was a little curious.
Xie Junping continued: "The club has passed on to this generation, and it is indeed exhausted. In fact, the qualifications for recruiting new members will be restored this semester, but those two goods will not die, and there were financial problems last semester, all the financiers have withdrawn, the flow of funds has been completely cut off, and the old members have withdrawn from the club, and the only few who have not returned are related to the case, and they are still under investigation, once the guilt is confirmed, the club will be automatically dissolved. β
Speaking of which, Xie Junping sighed fakely: "This hasn't been dispersed yet, someone outside has already robbed you to death." β
Ronan was a little surprised: "It's very popular here?" β
"That's it! The school has coveted the North Shore for a long time, especially the 'gear', which covers an area of half a hectare and is already among the best in various clubs and research institutes. What's more, this is the only place on the North Shore that can be dug deeper, and this is the only place where there is enough underground space among all the research institutes and society buildings on the North Shore. Just this one, no one can compare! Those people, now they are smashing each other with money, and they are almost tearing them apart......"
Xie Junping was foaming at the mouth, the problem was that Ronan was completely indifferent to this kind of gossip, and his face was blank. Xie Junping couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration of "throwing his eyes to the blind", and in desperation, he could only take the initiative to prompt:
"Brother Nan, don't you want to know, which one will take over in the end?"
Ronan glanced at him: "Isn't it that there is no result yet?" β
"There are only the last two left, the Construction Engineering Society and the Occult Research Society take turns bidding, it depends on who can overpower the other, and the results will be out in the next two days...... I think the Occult Research Society has a much better chance! β
"The Occult Research Society?" Hearing that it was the super club that he had made a mistake, Ronan naturally poured more attention.
Xie Junping showed a strange smile on his face: "In order to get this place, the Occult Research Society is also fighting. It has been promised that it will fully take over all the liabilities and personnel of the Order Club...... Hehe, they don't want to think about it, even if everything goes well, it will be next semester after completing the process, but this ghost place is no longer taken care of, and it looks like it is about to become a ruin, and it may not be worth the price at that time. Brother Nan, don't you say? β
What logic......
Ronan glanced down the hall and confirmed that there must be an automatic cleaning system here, and perhaps intelligent machinery, and there was hardly any floating dust as far as the eye could see. With such a degree of maintenance, let alone another half a year, even another ten years, there will be no changes.
But Xie Junping said this for another purpose entirely.
Ronan probably got it.
Speaking of this, Xie Junping has completely clarified his attitude: "Brother Nan, you see, if you want to protect the assets of the community to the greatest extent, someone needs to maintain this building and maintain its basic operation. But the resources and connections of the order club are all in the past, except for a butt of debts, there is nothing, if you want to do it, you have to spend the funds of the student union, and a few will need 100,000 yuan a year, which is all a deficit.
"If at this time, there is such a person who is willing to enter this declining community, spend precious personal time, and carry out maintenance work free of charge, but there is no community activity, and the network grows, hey, it is a big sacrifice! Brother Nan, it's hard to find such a person, your brother and I have been so anxious for a few days that my hair has turned gray. Look, can you give me a solution......"
Ronan watched Xie Junping perform hard, and was speechless for a while. But it is also a thorough understanding of his intentions - this is probably a "curve to save the country".
According to Xie Junping's plan, Ronan will first join the "Order Club" that is already on the verge of collapse, become a full member, and then endure it for half a semester, and under the subsequent merger of the club, he will become an "additive" that cannot be shaken off, and enter the Occult Research Society - this is something that the other party has promised.
This path looks very good, of course, it also needs a senior cadre of the student union like Xie Junping to take action, so that when a club is about to collapse and has no organizational ability, it can go through the process and force a new student in.
However, the Occult Research Society is backed by a big financier, and it is also a "rich second-generation circle", in the face of Xie Junping's rough gasai, will they really admit it?
At least now, Xie Junping is very confident, and he pushed Ronan into the straight elevator with a smile:
"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with that side, according to people in the inner circle, this merger, that side is really at any cost, I also said hello before, one or two people are nothing...... Brother Nan, it's not that I'm hypocritical, if it weren't for the confusion yesterday, you were so tired that you missed the exam, why would we go around this circle? This ghost place, since Yan Hong's reputation was ruined, the research team was disbanded, and it was not good, they said that we took advantage, and I also said that we committed Tai Sui! β
A certain name came into his ears, Ronan stopped with a shock, and Huo Ran turned his head; "Which do you say?"
