Chapter 30: Before the Holidays
Kingdom of Taino, City of Taino.
Zhu Long, the president of the North Rainforest Continent Branch of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, who had just finished lunch, was comfortably leaning on a soft cloth chair and tasting the dessert after the meal, and a cup of fragrant tea placed next to the dessert plate was exuding a steaming smell.
There was a knock on the door to the study.
"Come in." Zhu Long said.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a steward in a decent black robe walked in and handed a letter to the table in front of Zhu Long with both hands.
"President, this is a handwritten letter from Gu Shuzhong, president of the Northern Rainforest Branch of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce in Bayun Country."
Zhu Long seemed to have a good idea of the contents of the letter, he didn't immediately open it and read it, but asked with a chuckle: "I thought that they Bayun people have a lot of ability, but in the end, they still have to ask for our fruit wood chamber of commerce." ”
The steward said with a smile: "After all, long before the battle of Nanyang Island, the Bayun people gave away all the remaining forces in Xishan Yuanzhou, of course, not to mention the Rainforest Continent, although the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce seems to be a big business, but in terms of deep foundation, it can't be compared with our Chamber of Commerce after all." ”
Seeing that Zhu Long still had a disapproving smile on his face, the steward hurriedly took it seriously, and lowered his voice to persuade: "President, although the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce competes a lot with us on weekdays, the two sides still have a lot of common interests in the Rainforest Continent, and those high-quality dream fairy grass fields and natural rubber forests that have been lost recently due to the civil strife in Kawa may not be better in the entire Rainforest Continent, and those fields and forests are the source of gold in many people's pockets." ”
Zhu Long glanced at the steward with disdain and stood up slowly.
When Zhu Long got up, he took the long gold-inlaid pipe placed on the table, and while gently holding it in his hand, he said in a homely tone: "Lao Chen, is it because you stay in the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, or do I stay in the Chamber of Commerce for a long time?" Why, do you think I don't know what you're talking about? ”
"Oops." The steward sighed lightly, "Isn't this the one who came to urge again, you also received the urgent letter that the big owner gave you yesterday, although I haven't read the content of it, but what will be written in the letter, I think I can guess five or six points." ”
"yes...... After all, the Chamber of Commerce of the second son of the Qin Dadong family has a lot of business both overt and secretly, pointing to the dream fairy field and rubber forest in Kawa. Zhu Long thought in his heart.
Zhu Long's face did not change, he unhurriedly opened the cigarette case on the table, and then took out some fine Tylenol cigarettes with the silver clip placed in the cigarette case, and gently kneaded them into the bowl.
In this process, Zhu Long said to the steward without raising his head: "I have ready-made things in hand for the things that the owner needs, and in the afternoon you can arrange for someone to send those documents back to Tiandu in a hurry, as for the miscellaneous things such as lobbying the Taiwan Academy, naturally we don't need to do it for us, who are far away in the sky, and then we only need to secretly assist the government to do things." ”
After saying these words, Zhu Long lit the Tylenol cigarette in the bowl, he took a deep breath, and said to the steward in front of him with a little disdain: "Old Chen, I didn't say you. After all these years, you still can't get rid of your acute problem, how big it is, so hot. I don't know, I thought there was a share of you in those dream fairy fields in the Kawa country. ”
The steward seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and he stammered a little and laughed dryly, "How is it possible, I am just a little person......"
Zhu Long sneered in his heart, and said gently: "Okay, there is nothing else to do for the time being, Lao Chen, you go and get busy with you." ”
……
After Tukuo introduced the identities of Shi Cheng and Wu Neng to his colleagues, Shi Cheng and Tukuo's colleagues also briefly chatted, but Wu Neng, who was a little self-familiar, failed to interject a few words, and when Shi Cheng was talking to everyone, he played the role of a translator, and Wu Neng was still quite restrained when facing people from the army like Tukuo.
But fortunately, Tukuo understands the official dialect of Wei State, which makes the communication between the two sides much smoother.
"In this way, Shi Chengzhishi hopes that after recovering from his injuries, he will go north to Wu and then to Wei?" Teso asked.
"That's how it's going to be." Shi Cheng nodded.
Ferrejo's face showed a rare look of regret, although he and Shi Cheng had not been together for a long time, but the knowledge he had learned from Shi Cheng these days had really opened a new door for him.
However, although Ferrejo has not read, he also understands the truth that it is difficult not to force others.
Tukuo also had some regrets in his heart, he knew very well that for the country of Rainforest Continent, the epidemic has always been one of the main natural disasters that plague the majority of people, and if there is an expert like Shi Cheng in the newly born Kawa State Mansion, then the situation will naturally be much better.
But these thoughts were just a flash in Tukuo's heart, and in his opinion, it was impossible for Kawa Kingdom to keep such a great god as Shi Cheng after all.
"How long will you stay in the village, Mr. Orange?" Ferrejo asked.
Wu Neng turned his head to Shi Cheng and said, "Old Shi, we have been in the village for more than thirty days. ”
Shi Cheng didn't bother to correct Fei Rejo's Chu Ze pronunciation, he nodded and replied, "That's the case." ”
"I remember that when we just floated ashore from the sea, you and Lao Tie seemed to have said that Lao Tie would take about fifty days to heal his injuries, and Lao Shi would need seventy days." Wu Neng continued.
"Well, now that Iron Mask and I are recovering, we will need to stay in the village for almost forty days." Shi Cheng said.
Fei Rejo couldn't understand Wei Guoguan's language, and he looked at Shi Cheng and Wu Neng who were talking with a puzzled expression.
Wu Neng looked at Ferrejo and explained, "We'll probably stay here for another forty days. ”
Ferejo was a little down, but soon laughed again, "Have a nice trip." My regimental commander once told me that all of you people there use this phrase to say goodbye to your friends. ”
"It's not like I'm leaving today, but thank you for your good words." Wu Neng said with a smile.
Ferejo snapped his fingers, as if he was counting something, and soon, he put down his hand and said to Wu Neng: "Since you will leave in forty days, then you will definitely be able to catch up with the festival celebration." ”
"A holiday celebration?" Wu Neng asked suspiciously.
"Old Wu, what's wrong?" Shi Cheng asked.
Tukuo took over the conversation and explained to Shi Cheng in the official language of the Wei State: "These things are not secret, it is like this, the news that just came from Kawa City yesterday afternoon, the last group of Egan bandits in the stone valley in the east who were still planning to resist have surrendered, and now our Kawa mother has regained peace, and the task of formally establishing a new country is in front of us." ”
Shi Cheng immediately understood what Tukuo meant: "You mean, your country will hold a founding celebration soon?" ”
Tukuo nodded and said, "That's right, the current tentative founding day is the fifteenth of this month, that is, nine days later." ”
"...... of the month It seems that it is already July......" Shi Cheng thought to himself.
"Both of them and the Iron Mask are benefactors of the village, and it's a beautiful thing to have three of them present with us to celebrate Mother Kawa's new birth." Tukou said with a smile.
Shi Cheng agreed with a smile.
But then again, it's not that Shi Cheng is dark in his heart, he has a faint feeling in his heart, and an important reason why Tukuo sent an invitation to himself seems to want to borrow his name in the village. The three "immortals" who were kind to the local area supported the new government established by the rebels so much, and the publicity effect of this incident was not too great, and the propaganda effect would not be limited to Xianyou Village.
Of course, this form of "exploitation" is harmless.
"Congratulations." Shi Cheng stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake Tukuo's hand.
In the next few days, the village was also considered to be a series of events, and the news of the upcoming National Day celebration and the complete collapse of the old government army caused a sensation in the village for a while.
Of course, the biggest thing is the actual implementation of the Junda Order.
On the day when Tukuo and others officially distributed bamboo sticks representing the ownership of the fields to the villagers, Shi Cheng saw Jika at the villagers' meeting for a long time, which had been closed for many days.
Amidst the cheers and happy smiles, Jika and several relatives near and far around him were frosty.
When Tukuo smiled and announced to the villagers that Shi Cheng and the three of them would also celebrate the founding ceremony with everyone, Shi Cheng could feel the murderous gaze that Jika threw at him.
Shi Cheng couldn't help but sneer in his heart, after all these days, Jika finally showed his true thoughts in front of Shi Cheng.
After the villagers' meeting, Shi Cheng and the three of them left the venue with everyone under the support of the enthusiastic villagers.
The most enthusiastic about Shi Cheng and the three of them are the villagers who have directly received the help of the three of them, and the three of Shi Cheng are also accustomed to the enthusiasm of the villagers these days, and every time the three of them go to the clinic, the villagers who meet them are all far away and greet the three of them respectfully and warmly as soon as they take a look, and the hut where the three live has become another holy place in the village in addition to the temple.
After a cordial exchange with the villagers, Shi Cheng and the three returned to their faithful hut.
"Lao Shi, I feel that the villagers are becoming more and more enthusiastic." Wu Neng said as he entered the door while pouring a bowl of water for himself and Shi Chengtie Mian.
The three of them sat down separately, and Wu Neng said while fanning the wind: "The weather feels getting more and more stuffy these days, is it going to rain?" ”
"Well, the rainy season in the Northern Rainforest Continent is coming." Shi Cheng nodded.
Tie Mian said: "Isn't it time to make some preparations, I heard that in the rainy season of Rainforest Island, the road is not easy to walk. ”
"It's still more than a month, but I'm not in a hurry." After saying this, Shi Cheng thanked him and took the wooden bowl containing water from Wu Neng's hand, "But this time I should also go to Kawa City to inquire, I don't know if we can connect with the city's chamber of commerce now." ”
Tie Mian nodded, "Judging from the situation that Wu Neng has explored in Kawa City before, if you want to travel long distances in Rainforest Continent, the safest way is to take the car of the foreign chamber of commerce. ”
Shi Cheng said helplessly: "Even if it is in the Southern Rainforest Continent, the situation will be better." ”
Wu Neng nodded and said, "That old Shi, I'll go to the city to inquire in the past few days to see if I can get in touch with the foreign chamber of commerce in Kawa City." ”
Shi Cheng looked at the thick cumulus clouds in the sky outside, and said: "I am not busy for the time being, it seems that it will rain heavily for a few days in a row, and after the weather is better in a few days, and the situation in Kawa Country becomes more stable, it is not too late for Lao Wu to go again." ”
