Chapter 148: The Shaw Orphan
A few days later, Zhou Tengyun, who had disappeared for a while again, suddenly appeared, and he came to Liu Hui's office and found Liu Hui.
Liu Hui was planning a long-term development outline of the Star Group in the office, and when he saw Zhou Tengyun coming in, he put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Third child, have you been there these days?" I don't see your figure. ”
Zhou Tengyun found a place to sit down and said, "Boss, I just came back from Africa. The base on the African side has been fully built, the relationship between the local political axe and the race and tribe has been communicated, and the weapons we purchased are all in place, and now everything is in place, so I plan to lead our mercenaries over next week. ”
Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, he rubbed his eyes, and said, "Are the preparations over there completed?" How did this time pass so quickly, and wouldn't we have to separate? ”
Zhou Tengyun said: "Boss, we have planned for a long time to set up mercenaries in Africa, and we are not going to meet again, so don't be so sensational!" ”
Liu Hui rubbed his eyes again and said with a smile: "I'm not sensational, it's just that my eyes have just been blown into some sand by the wind, so I just rubbed them a few more times." ”
Zhou Tengyun looked around, Liu Hui's office was all closed, and it was impossible for the wind to blow in. But Zhou Tengyun didn't break it, he stood up, took out an envelope from his arms, and then put the envelope on the table in front of Liu Hui.
"What is this?" Liu Hui looked at the envelope, but did not reach for it.
"This envelope contains the location of my wife's and children's graves, and if I can't come back in the future, remember to bury me next to them. And remember to go to worship every year, they were very lively and cheerful before their deaths, and they were not used to living a cold and lonely life. Zhou Tengyun said.
Liu Hui grabbed the envelope, he threw the envelope in front of Zhou Tengyun, and scolded: "This is your own family matter, why leave it to me?" Wait until you come back to the shrine! ”
Zhou Tengyun didn't pick up the envelope either, and said, "Boss, I haven't begged you for anything in my life, I'm going to ask you to help me handle this matter this time!" After speaking, without waiting for Liu Hui to speak, he left Liu Hui's office.
Liu Hui was stunned, but he still picked up the envelope. Then he hurried to the basement of the company, opened the plane trader, and began to call the Xiaoyaozi of the Xiuzhen plane.
Since Liu Hui was ruthlessly deceived by Xiaoyaozi last time, he has called Xiaoyaozi many times in a row, but this Xiaoyaozi just doesn't respond, which makes Liu Hui hate him so much, but he can't do anything about him.
Zhou Tengyun is about to go to Africa to fight, and the current African battlefield is very dangerous, and if he is not careful, he will leave his surname there. Although Zhou Tengyun has strong personal strength, there are too many things that can threaten his surname on the battlefield, so even if Zhou Tengyun is already in the innate realm, there is no guarantee that he will come back safely, so he left Liu Hui this envelope that is equivalent to a will. In order to ensure Zhou Tengyun's safety, Liu Hui had to think of plane trading. Among the several planes he had traded, only some things from this Xiaoyaozi could really help Zhou Tengyun, so Liu Hui had to call this Xiaoyaozi again.
Not long after Liu Hui called, Xiaoyaozi answered the call, and Xiaoyaozi's avatar appeared on the plane trader, and he looked red and very happy.
"Xiaoyou, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Xiaoyaozi greeted warmly.
"Why do you look so carried away? Do you feel very happy after deceiving my spirit stone? Although Liu Hui told himself to be calm, he was angry when he saw Xiaoyaozi's triumphant appearance, and he couldn't control his mouth for a while.
"Huh! Xiaoyou, it's not right for you to say that! When did I ever lie to your spirit stone? We have an equivalent exchange, strictly speaking, I have suffered a loss, what I have given you is the essence of our sect for thousands of years, and what you have given me is just some consumable items. Besides, my old man's reputation on our side is very good, and you can't slander me like that. Xiaoyaozi blew his beard and glared.
"You sold me something I can't use, isn't it a spirit stone to lie to me?" Liu Hui questioned.
"Ahh So you're talking about this. I thought you knew the limitations, so I didn't tell you, lest you say I'm old and talk a lot of nonsense, this is also for your sake, shouldn't it be considered a deception? Xiaoyaozi said.
"In short, you didn't introduce your product in detail, which led to my misjudgment and being deceived, you just deceived me." Liu Hui couldn't argue with Xiaoyaozi, and said with some resentment.
"Little friend, you have to have a conscience when you speak! I didn't tell you the details, it's my fault, after all, I'm so old that I may forget. But you, a young man, have such a good memory, why didn't you ask more questions at that time, which led to such a big misunderstanding between us. "Xiaoyaozi hit a rake.
"You ......" Liu Hui was restrained by this nemesis of his fate again, and he couldn't even speak.
"Ahem, this ...... Xiaoyou, in fact, the problems that you just said that can't be used can be solved, and it's not a big deal, why are you so angry? Xiaoyaozi saw that Liu Hui was very angry, and hurriedly explained.
"How to use it? Your formations and refining techniques have such high requirements for the true element, and I can only reach the foundation building stage at the highest, the true yuan is not enough at all, how can I use it? Liu Hui said angrily.
"Little friend, you really can't use the knowledge I gave you about refining weapons, because you don't have a suspended peak, and our refining tools must be in the suspended peak to be carried out. However, there is no way to solve the operation of the formation. Xiaoyaozi touched his white beard.
"How to fix it?" When Liu Hui heard that it could solve the problem of insufficient true yuan, he immediately became interested. As for the problem that the refining technique could not be used, he had already realized it.
"That is, I will help you refine an energy storage ball, infuse the true yuan of our cultivators into this energy storage ball, and then trade this energy storage ball to you, and then you can find a way to export the true yuan in the energy storage ball, so that you can run those formations!" Xiaoyaozi said.
"Can you store your true yuan?" Liu Hui asked in surprise.
"Originally, it didn't work, but my master invented a peculiar refining technique to store the true essence of the cultivator." Xiaoyaozi said proudly.
"Then what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and help me refine this thing!" Liu Hui was overjoyed, if he could really get the support of a large number of True Yuan from the cultivators, and then study those peculiar formations thoroughly, then he might be able to break out a path that no one had ever walked before, so as to realize his ideals. As soon as he thought of this, Liu Hui was full of fever and couldn't help it.
"Ahem, little friend, I remember telling you that all our refining weapons must be in the Levitating Peak before they can be carried out! With the top-grade spirit stones you traded over last time, there is no shortage of spirit stones, but we still have one small thing left before we can activate the suspension peak, and this little thing is only available in Qiyun Auction House. You didn't want to lend me some high-grade spirit stones to buy that little thing before, so our Refining Sect has been helping Qi Yun Auction House to save money during this time, and we are ready to buy that thing, but we have been working hard for so long, and we still have a thousand high-grade spirit stones to buy that little thing, so now the Suspension Peak still can't be activated, and the things you want can't be refined for the time being. And that's why I didn't answer your calls for a while, because we've been so busy that we don't have any free time. Xiaoyaozi said.
Liu Hui was disappointed for a while, but he didn't believe Xiaoyaozi's part-time job, after all, no matter how busy he was, it was impossible not to have a little free time. And Xiaoyaozi is now full of red face and high spirits, where does he look like a part-time worker? However, he immediately remembered his purpose, and did not say anything to expose it, and asked, "Senior, do you have any equipment that can defend against other people's attacks?" ”
Xiaoyaozi thought about it and said ashamedly: "No, the only one is for you." ”
Liu Hui immediately asked, "Then can you help me acquire equipment that can be used for defense in your world?" Didn't you say you have a Qiyun auction house there? There should be equipment auctions in the auction house, right? ”
Xiaoyaozi shook his head and said, "You don't know the cruelty of the last battle in the cultivation realm, in that battle, basically all the equipment was destroyed. The reason why I was able to give you that Hongguang armor was because I didn't fight at all, but even so, it was affected by the aftermath of the Great War in the Xiuzhen Realm, and it became dilapidated, and it didn't have a ten-thousandth of its previous function. Even I hid so carefully and destroyed the equipment, how many pieces of equipment do you think can be used in the current cultivation realm? Not to mention taking out the equipment for auction, there is no possibility of equipment auctioning in that Qiyun Auction House. ”
Liu Hui was very disappointed, he originally wanted to buy a piece of equipment for Zhou Tengyun to use here in Xiaoyaozi, so that Zhou Tengyun could get a chance to save his life on the African battlefield, but now it seems that there is no such possibility. He only has one Hongguang armor on his body, which is used to protect himself, and his side is not necessarily much safer than Zhou Tengyun, so it is impossible for him to hand over this armor to Zhou Tengyun for use, after all, he is the foundation of their group, he is gone, Zhou Tengyun is like a rootless duckweed, and he will soon disappear on the African continent.
Xiaoyaozi saw that Liu Hui was a little disappointed, and said: "We still have some low-level talismans in stock here, because the grade is too low, so we didn't have the opportunity to use them in the last war, if you want, I can show you it." ”
"Low-level talismans? What is this? Liu Hui asked.
"It's a talisman made by some low-level disciples, which can defend against the full force of mortal innate masters, but it's only a one-time item, and it will be destroyed and invalid after use, so we don't usually use it." Xiaoyaozi said.
"Can you defend against the full force of the innate master? So you should be able to defend against ordinary bullets, right? Liu Hui muttered in his heart, and suddenly became interested, feeling that it was better than nothing, and he said: "Senior, how many of these talismans do you have there?" ”
"There are about twenty more than that, but now there are no raw materials for making this lowest-level talisman, so these twenty or so talismans are now a masterpiece and cannot be refined again." Xiaoyaozi said.
Liu Hui thought about it, he took out a large box from the storage space, put this large box on the plane trader, and said, "Senior, I have a suggestion here, do you want to listen to it." ”
"Little friend, please speak." Xiaoyaozi said.
"You help me engrave all the bullets of various calibers in this big box into the formation, the number of bullets in this is a bit large, about 10,000 rounds. Then you buy me the more than twenty talismans you have in stock, and I will make up for the thousand high-grade spirit stones you still lack. Liu Hui said.
Xiaoyaozi's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently: "Xiaoyou, is what you said true?" ”
"I'm telling the truth, but I'm not done yet. Your levitating peak has been activated, and you must help me refine an energy storage ball for free, which must be full of true essence of cultivators. Liu Hui said.
Xiaoyaozi laughed: "Little friend, I agree to all your conditions." As long as our levitating peak is reopened, then the time for the revival of our sect will come soon, and your requests are just minor problems. ”
"Senior, I want those bullets in a hurry, you must help me carve out all the formations within seven days, half of which are the fire formation and the ice formation." Liu Hui admonished.
Xiaoyaozi clicked on the transaction, and the big box instantly appeared in his hand, and he smiled: "The depiction of the formation is just a trivial matter, I can help you get it within three days." ”
"No, senior, you said before that it is very difficult to depict these formations, and you can only depict a maximum of fifty formations a day?" Liu Hui questioned.
Xiaoyaozi was a little embarrassed, and he smiled dryly: "Is this...... In fact, the main thing is to see that the suspension peak is about to open, so my heart is very happy, this mood is good, the efficiency of doing things is high, so it is understandable to be faster. ”
Liu Hui secretly slandered, your efficiency has improved too quickly. However, he has now changed his way of thinking, he doesn't care about these demonic beast crystal nuclei at all, anyway, there are many in the magic plane. What he cares about most now is efficiency, he helped Xiaoyaozi to recover his strength as soon as possible, only when Xiaoyaozi's strength is restored, can he provide better help to himself, they are actually a win-win relationship. So it doesn't matter if Xiaoyaozi takes advantage of it for the time being, Liu Hui has already set his sights on long-term cooperation, so he can agree so happily this time.
The bullets depicted by Xiaoyaozi are very powerful, and Liu Hui also hopes that Zhou Tengyun will bring more of these bullets when he leaves, after all, this kind of bullet is equivalent to a missile, and it is smaller in size and easy to carry, which is really a miniature version of a super weapon of mass destruction.
So Liu Hui and Xiaoyaozi made an appointment for the next transaction and ended the call. Zhou Tengyun's safety is hopefully guaranteed, and Liu Hui is relieved.
Liu Hui felt that Zhou Tengyun was about to go away, so he called Zhou Tengyun, Mei Peng and King Yue over to reunite in their own home. Otherwise, after Zhou Tengyun set off, there would be very few chances for the four brothers to get together.
Liu Hui's home hadn't been so lively for a long time, and his parents were very happy, because they finally saw Liu Hui come out of his depression and smile again. Hu Xian'er was also summoned by Liu Hui's mother to come to help, Liu Lin also ran over, and several women nested in the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"Boss, I've made a lot of gains recently!" When King Yue saw that the four brothers had gathered, Yin said with a smile.
"Cut, don't come to disgust us, I don't want to hear about your romances anymore." Mei Peng scoffed at King Yue's words.
"That's not right! Didn't you like to hear this from me the most? And the time you went out to debauchery before you got married, it was still the position I introduced! Why don't you want to hear it now? King Yue questioned.
"Shhhh Do you want me to die? I am now a person with a wife and children, you should pay attention to the proportions of what you say. Mei Peng jumped over angrily and desperately covered King Yue's mouth.
"Hehe, I still have this IQ, don't you see that my sister-in-law is so far away from us? She can't hear us anywhere. King Yue tried his best to get rid of Mei Peng's control, and did not forget to despise Mei Peng.
"Okay, let's not talk about that tonight. Zhou Laosan is about to go on a business trip to Africa and may not be able to come back for a long time. Africa is very dangerous now, you should bless him more! Mei Peng hurriedly diverted the topic, for fear that Liu Lin would hear about the chaos.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the boss asked me to help train the company's security personnel over there, it's very safe, and I don't need to be blessed." Zhou Tengyun smiled.
"Hehe, the third child went to Africa, and it won't be so easy for our brothers to meet, so we must not get drunk tonight." Liu Hui said with a smile. He discussed it with Zhou Tengyun, and didn't say anything about Zhou Tengyun going to Africa as a mercenary, but only that he went to Africa to help train security personnel.
"Boss, don't bully us with your amount of alcohol, who doesn't know that you are not drunk with a thousand glasses!" King Yue said dissatisfiedly. When he was in school, he drank the best amount of alcohol among the four, so he often drunk Liu Hui and the three of them, which was also one of his pleasures. Unexpectedly, this Liu Hui hadn't seen him for a few years, and he became more able to drink than him silently, which made him feel very disappointed.
The men chatted together, and several women were busy in the kitchen, and it didn't take long to fill the table with dishes.
"Haha, the dishes are all ready. You see, these dishes are made by Hu Xian'er, and they taste very good, you must try them. Liu Hui shouted.
"Oh...... It turned out to be a love dish specially made for the boss, so we didn't dare to eat it! "Several people now know the little thing between Liu Hui and Hu Xian'er, and they all laugh and cry.
Liu Hui suddenly remembered Hu Xian'er's feelings for him, and suddenly felt a little unnatural, he quietly glanced at Hu Xian'er, but found that Hu Xian'er was looking at him with a smile.
Liu Hui was taken aback, and immediately pointed to the TV and said: "You guys watch that news, it's really infuriating!" ”
Everyone was immediately distracted by Liu Hui and went to watch the news on TV. A news story that happened in the city of Shenshao, near Hong Kong, was being reported on television. It is said that in a county in Shenshao City, a group of family planning personnel took away the children of peasant families, sent them to a welfare home, forcibly turned these children into orphans, and then adopted them by foreigners at a high price, which was called the "Shaw Orphans" incident by the domestic media.
Liu Hui originally wanted to distract everyone's attention, but when he understood the news, he was immediately very angry and scolded: "Dog, there is still such a thing in this world, these family planning personnel really deserve to be killed." Their behavior can no longer be described as human, and they are no different from animals. ”
Liu Hui's father also nodded and said, "This kind of behavior is indeed a heinous crime. Cutting off incense is as vicious as digging up people's ancestral graves, and this behavior will definitely be beheaded in the past. ”
Liu Lin said: "The news said that the relevant departments are investigating, and the final results have not yet come out!" ”
King Yue said: "Bullshit, they're stalling for time." I bet that this investigation will definitely end without a problem, and will slowly fade into the hearts of the people, and the punishment for those family planning personnel is at most three glasses of wine. ”
"You see, the person directly responsible for this incident called "Shaw Orphans" is the person who took the lead in taking the child away, and actually went to Hong Kong, saying that he was here to inspect and study, what is there in Hong Kong where these family planning personnel can inspect and study? Shouldn't he be investigated by the relevant departments in Shenshao City now? How could it appear in Hong Kong, is there any reason for this? Mei Peng suddenly pointed to the news on the TV and said.
Sure enough, there was a picture of the family planning worker walking around the bustling streets of Hong Kong on TV, but when the female reporter who reported the news was about to go forward to interview the other party, she was rejected by the other party. When the reporter asked the other party a lot of questions, the family planning officer finally became angry, he roared loudly, and asked the reporter to go to the relevant department to issue a letter of introduction for the interview, otherwise he would not accept the interview with the other party.
The reporter asked him very strangely, saying that this was Hong Kong, and when she was going there to find the relevant department to issue a letter of introduction, the family planning cadre finally came to his senses and immediately bowed his head and left.
The female reporter continued to report: "The other party did not accept an interview with this reporter, but this reporter will continue to pay attention to the actions of this family planning officer in Hong Kong, and uncover the truth about the "Shaw Orphans" for everyone. ”
(To be continued)
