Chapter 90: From Silence to Opening
"......" Lian Wu sighed deeply.
She avoided the light by the window and sat down on the leather couch in the hospitality area.
Zhang Su didn't alarm her, it was the first time he saw Lian Wu show such an expression, melancholy and heavy.
"Lotus Mist?" The person on the other end of the phone said coldly.
"Yes." Lian Wu leaned back and lay down on the sofa. It was the voice of her brother Ryuichi.
"When will you be back?"
“……”
"You don't have to come back, after all, you haven't been concerned about family affairs. My father's condition is very bad. Dongzhou Industry is also going to end, what does all this have to do with you. Ryuichi's words were like whips.
"......" Lian Wu remained silent, silence was her way to protect herself.
But Ryuichi knew his sister's temperament very well, and he judged by the sound of his breathing that she was still listening.
So he'll go on and on.
"Lawsuits, fines, countless, now it's up to me and Kyoji to stabilize the situation, and the emergency meeting of the board of directors has reserved a seat for you, and the others actually have hope for you. Many businesses have to be sold at a reduced price, and everything is a debt passed down from the previous generation to our children. Can you come back and help? Long Yi said.
The dragon paused, waiting for a response.
Lian Wu opened her mouth.
Her heart pounded, and she tried in vain to sort out her thoughts, but the familiar anxiety left Lian Wu speechless.
She fantasized she could speak.
In her fantasies, Anxin Renwu opened her mouth and said calm, logical words, analyzing everything clearly and stating the pros and cons.
Long Yi will also be surprised, but he didn't expect that his sister, who is usually silent, has also grown into a reliable family pillar.
However, it can't be done.
“…… Woo ......" Lian Wu choked up a little, but it turned out that the emotions of self-blame drowned everything.
"yes, I can't help when I come back. I don't think you have much to say as always, which is why I am the heir to the family and you are being freed by your father. You can continue to imitate our ancestors, and I will handle the crisis of business. Long Yi said.
Lianwu hung up the phone and turned around on the sofa.
Her fingers scratched the leather lightly, thinking of how she lived with her father and brothers in the Anxin family mansion when she was a child.
Anxin House Xiuxing, Anxin Yuan Ryuichi, Anxin Yuan Kyoji...... Men have a common language, and Lotus Mist is like an outsider.
They didn't care about the departure and death of Lianwu's mother, especially Long Yi, and even laughed at her for returning to the ancient peace of mind. Lianwu has no respect for them, and silence is silent self-defense.
She really wanted them to see with their own eyes the current Anxin Temple, which was big and beautiful.
Now the garden is full of flowers and fruits. The fields have been cleared, beans, watermelons and wheat greens are growing, children are studying in the school building, and there are cows and chickens in the small animal farm.
The ancient shrine is sealed under their ancestors, who are truly almost godlike beings, pale skinned and the ancestors of the moon that gave birth to all the descendants of Anxinin.
There is also the Guardian Red Flame, and Zhang Su is here to help......
Everything makes Lian Wu like it from the bottom of my heart.
But others will not understand and will never like the place, only prejudice. They will use all kinds of reasons to prove that their life is superior to Hasuki, but Renwu is very happy to live here, happier than in New Tokyo, this is self-evident.
"Lotus Mist?" Zhang Su sat down beside Lianwu.
"......" she held Zhang Su's hand. At least he was the only one who could get used to the silence.
"I know how annoying the situation in the Anxin House is, but it's none of your business." Zhang Su resolutely stood on the side of Lianwu.
Hearing that Zhang Su was willing to support him, Lian Wu's tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes. She didn't shed tears when she was scolded by her brother before, but now she really wants to cry.
Lian Wu nodded, trying to stay calm.
"That family, the 'Anxin Yuan Family' that has deviated from the ancestral land is already a branch, Miss Lianwu will definitely be able to revive the Anxin Yuan family here, even more powerful than them!" Zhang Su said seriously.
"~" Lian Wu felt a little encouragement.
It suddenly occurred to her that as a witch, she could breed witch eggs.
Lian Wu has no memory of her mother, she can only vaguely remember that she broke out of her shell, and her mother looked at her and showed a kind smile.
After her mother gave birth to Lianwu, she went to Anxin Hospital. The last time she saw Yuehuaji, Lianwu tried to distinguish her mother from the pile of bones, but she didn't. Can't? Still don't want to? She couldn't tell.
Others said that she was a gentle and kind woman, and Lianwu hoped that she could give birth to a good child, but this time she grew up slowly with the child in Anxinyuan. Be nice to her, the child does not have to be separated from his mother, nor does he have to grow up in the ridicule of his recalcitrant brother, and he does not have to remain silent.
As long as Zhang Su is willing to help, in time, a prosperous Yuehua bloodline will be revived in Anxin Hospital.
"We—we can even go and buy Dongzhou Industries in reverse." Zhang Su thought about something else.
“!” Lian Wu was taken aback by Zhang Su's ambition.
"Dongzhou Industry is seriously losing money, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses, and in the future they will have to divest their businesses, sell factories and even technology patents." Zhang Su has a plan.
In the previous life, Dongzhou Industry only collapsed after the Kagurayama Rebellion, and was dismembered and swallowed by the old chaebol faction.
Now it has fallen earlier, and Zhang Su's strength has accumulated faster, and he may be able to get a piece of the pie.
“……!” Lian Wu thought.
After staying by Zhang Su's side for a long time, she will become a little more pragmatic. If I changed my words, I would cry for a long time when I was reprimanded by my brother. Not everyone has a happy childhood, she doesn't know what Zhang Su's childhood was like, she hopes that he will have a good life.
Lian Wu raised her head and gestured.
It takes a lot of money.
“…… The Ministry of Finance allocates funds for the maintenance of the Dongzhou Wall every year, and this money has been withheld and transferred for a long time, and now after our Witch Countermeasures Bureau takes over, we are also chasing this stolen money. The Dongzhou Wall project itself has no surviving value, and I plan to dismantle it, sell it, and exchange it all for money. Zhang Su said slowly.
Zhang Su has been authorized to take charge of the Dongzhou Wall, and in his hands, he intends to reallocate the budget funds, and then dismantle the Dongzhou Wall project to recoup the cost.
Lian Wu estimated.
Sell the tattered Dongzhou Wall itself, recover the stolen money, and impose disciplinary fines on suppliers......
In doing so, they will be able to raise at least 2 billion yen in half a year, and they will be able to buy a small part of the assets of Dongzhou Industry.
"There is a subsidiary under the name of Tosu Kogyo Co., Ltd., which is only 35 minutes away from us, called Niigata Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which is located in the famous place of Tsubame Sanjo in metal craftsmanship, although it is small, but it can make guns and light vehicles." Zhang Su set his sights on it.
The Anxin Hospital is very small in the face of natural disasters, so Zhang Su has a three-step plan.
The first step is to modernize, bringing in a lot of network infrastructure and electrical equipment to improve lives.
The second step is to fortify, hoard supplies, guns, and artillery fire, and be self-sufficient in food, vegetables, and energy, so as to consolidate the hill and guard against demons.
The third step is to pivot, trying to connect with other dimensions and find new ways.
Lianwu's family is not good. Zhang Su didn't like it either.
In the future, the situation reversed, they fell into danger, and Lianwu was in charge of the Anxin Academy's own family, so they should apologize to Lianwu in a low voice!
Lian Wu lay quietly.
Zhang Su's existence is indeed like a mountain, unshakable and very reliable.
She felt that she had grown a lot since she came to the Anxin Hospital, and Zhang Su played a great role in it, and his care made her inner fighting spirit increase day by day.
Lian Wu looked at Zhang Su carefully. She feels that love is more precious than money, because labor and material exchange can get money, but love cannot.
The only problem is that Lianwu doesn't know anything about love, but does Zhang Su understand? Lianwu felt that it was not necessarily.
"Soon someone will be coming to deliver something, and we're now famous and accepting donations." Zhang Su showed Lian Wu some other news to divert his attention.
He saw that Lianwu was in a bad mood now, and he should also watch some other new information.
"'Humanity Strikes Back: The front line is victorious, and the demons flee in disarray', 'The Earth Defense Force strikes decisively, and the threat of Mt. Kagura is gone'......"
The media described the crusade at the Gates of Hell on Mount Kagura as "the largest counterattack since the reconstruction of Dongming", and the bloody news kept appearing.
"We've become more famous." Zhang Su saw many special reports, which also mentioned Zhang Su and the Anxin Hospital.
"And your special report!" Lianwu saw the front-line report to Zhang Su.
In the photos taken by media friends, Zhang Su is also standing up to the sky, with the red mist sky in the erosion area in the background, which makes Lianwu like it very much, and the demon corpses around him are all over the field, which is really exciting.
"It's famous." Zhang Su saw his own encyclopedia entry, which can also be regarded as famous on the Internet.
"Will someone deliver something?" Lianwu thought of those social donations.
"Yes, I have received many emails and many organizations have held donations to the Anxin House, so that we also have more money and materials to build." Zhang Su checks the mail.
Some media practitioners are very concerned about the witch containment work, and specifically mentioned the construction of the Anxin Hospital, hoping that everyone can support the Anxin Hospital.
Correspondingly, caring people in the society have also begun to work hard to support the work of the Anxin Hospital.
"It's all joyful news!" Lianwu thinks it's good.
"Because that's how Dongming's media industry works. If you dare to report negative news, the exposure will be reduced, the number of people who will be punished and provoked will increase, and the people who see the news will be unhappy and buy less. So I'd rather talk about everything for the better. Many of the manuscripts were written by humans, copied by the hands of the Witch of Joy, and there were pictures of them alongside, and you would be happy just looking at those characters and portraits. Zhang Su said.
After humans cooperated with witches, many of the witches' methods were widely used to regulate social psychology, and the new generation of humans who grew up in the environment has learned to turn a blind eye to this.
"The news of the victory has also diluted the problem of the wall of Dongzhou, and everyone is not serious." Lian Wu flipped the page.
At the very bottom, there was some news that the human defense plan to abandon Dongzhou Industries, and the shutdown of the company's 40 factories could lead to a sharp increase in unemployment. Only people who really care about the functioning of society will notice these undercurrent signals.
Lianwu thinks about the future direction of the market. The wall of Dongzhou hurt confidence, and the victory of the investigation outside the wall overshadowed the negative signal, after all, if the demon could be repelled and the gate of hell sealed, there would be no need for fortifications.
"Wait......" Zhang Su suddenly reacted now.
"What?" Lotus Mist raised her head.
"Y-You're talking!" Zhang Su was taken aback.
"I'm not dumb." Lianwu disagreed.
"But...... But ......" it took Zhang Su a while for himself to understand the fact that Lianwu could speak.
"Maybe it's because I'm not afraid of you." Lianwu said lightly.
"Then Miss Lianwu can also talk to others?" Zhang Su was curious.
"No, it's the only one who can talk to you, only you, only, you." Lotus mist poked Zhang Su.
She felt extra happy with herself today, and the voice came from her lips like music. She was taken aback by her own voice, her voice was good, it was so good.
Zhang Su was very moved, for Lianwu, this is probably the first time in his life.
The rumble of the diesel engine approached.
"Someone's coming!" There will be outsiders coming, and Lianwu will run to the windowsill to look.
Truck? Zhang Su appeased Lianwu, and then hurried to the gate of Anxin Courtyard.
I saw several large trucks driving up the hill, with the names of various foundations, civil society organizations and welfare organizations written on the labels on their bodies:
"Kanto Charity Foundation donated 4,000 pounds of rice", "Dongming Anti-Demon First Front Love Materials", "Seonrakusha Frontline Support Materials", "Daemyongensa Association", ......
Zhang Su couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
