MTL - Hidden Corner-Chapter 165 Transaction One

 Chapter 165 165 Transaction 1

 A few days later.

 8 a.m., Forever Botanical Garden.

Li Chengyi moved his hands away from the transplanted dozen or so knotty hairy feathers.

He frowned slightly.

 These have no flowers, just ordinary plants.

 “That’s all?” He looked at the young man standing to one side who was a little restless.

This man's name is Zhu Hong, and he is the person he specially sent to search for wild Ji Mao Feilian, but now it seems that the efficiency is too low.

It took me a few days to find this.

“Boss, this kind of wild flower usually grows in some wild mountains. It’s a bit far from the botanical garden and it doesn’t bloom this season.” Young Zhu Hong replied helplessly.

“It’s already December and the weather is much colder. Boss, you really can’t fulfill your request.”

“I was negligent.” Li Chengyi nodded. He really didn't expect that in reality, Jie Mao Feilian only blooms from May to October.

 “Does it have to bloom?”

Not far away, manager Chen Yuqin approached with the signed contract document, obviously hearing what was said here.

　　"Definitely." Li Chengyi nodded, "Is there anything Mr. Chen can do?"

“I can inquire through the channel dealers here, and I can also post purchase orders online. The climate here is cold and there are no flowers, but some places are warm all year round.” Chen Yuqin said with a smile.

 “Acquisition? This is a way.” Li Chengyi nodded.

"Boss, I'm here to ask, what are the opening hours of the special garden area you built? Also, if you want to expand the park around, how much area will you need to rent?" Chen Yuqin changed the subject and asked about the business aspect. thing.

 This is also what Li Chengyi meant.

With the success of using the special nutrient solution to irrigate the hydrangeas, the originally small purple-red flowers have now turned purple-black.

Moreover, a strange light golden liquid will continue to flow out from the center of the flower stamen. That is the fiery liquid he named it.

This raw liquid has now become the largest source of income for the botanical garden and is an excellent material for making stimulants.

 It is a pity that this source of income will inevitably be interrupted in the near future due to the complete separation of Silent Shop.

Li Chengyi must think of new profit points as soon as possible.

Creating a unique and special garden area became his new idea.

“We have enough money for the time being to expand the surrounding park three times, and then find professional designers to design visiting routes and the distribution of consumer stores. The stores will first put automatic and unmanned vending machines.”

Li Chengyi began to discuss the development direction of the botanical garden with the manager Chen Yuqin.

Due to his own needs, he must maintain the large-scale planting of four kinds of flowers: sunflowers, gladioli, wisteria, and thorns. It must also maintain flowering status all year round.

 Hence, finding compensation and profit from this aspect as much as possible is the core.

While discussing, he also considered that if the flowering period was too concentrated, it would be a bit troublesome if his flower scale coat was damaged midway and could not be repaired.

 So when choosing other flower **** positions in the future, the interval between flowering periods must also be taken into consideration.

“By the way, please take someone with you to go through the onboarding process later.” Li Chengyi mentioned another matter. "It's my assistant secretary."

 He thought about it, but decided to hang Zhou Xingtong in the Botanical Garden instead of Hongjin Biology.

"No problem. Boss, you should have found a secretary a long time ago. I often can't find you when I call you. It's so troublesome." Chen Yuqin complained.

"Isn't it that you, Sister Chen, are here? I don't have anything to worry about since everything is in order here." Li Chengyi said with a smile.

 After chatting with Chen Yuqin for a while, he handed Zhou Xingtong's phone number to her.

Li Chengyi turned around and left the botanical garden and headed towards Yong'an Garden opposite.

As soon as I went out, the phone rang.

 He crossed the driveway, walked onto the field path, and approached the gate of Yong'an Garden.

　　Then he took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and looked at the screen. It turned out to be Teacher Jailong.

Challon Dragon usually rarely calls him. Even if something happens, most of them will notify him via text messages. Unexpectedly, I got a call from him now.

 Pressing the button to connect, Li Chengyi put the phone to his ear.

 “Teacher, what’s the matter?”

“Xiao Yi, have you met a strong old man with a long beard at my place before?” Prison Dragon asked in a deep voice.

"We met." Li Chengyi smiled, "The old man said he wanted to come to fight with you, and he also said some nonsense about the past, and I couldn't tell whether it was true or not. Then he wanted to fight me on the spot, but I dismissed him. gone."

 “Did you start a fight with him?” The prison dragon’s voice rose slightly.

“I didn’t move much, I just wanted to scare him.” Li Chengyi replied.

"Well, that old man's name is Jiao Chenwei. He was an old enemy of mine when I was young. He jumped off the roof of the twelfth floor of my hometown this morning and hit the ground head first." Yulong said with a sigh in his voice.

 “Dead?” The smile on Li Chengyi’s face froze.

Although the other party has a bad temper and is always ready to take action, the most he can do is provoke and stir up trouble. According to the law, it is provocation and trouble, and the crime will not lead to death, far from it.

 “Why did he jump off the building?” Li Chengyi couldn’t understand.

"I don't know, maybe he was hit by you. That old boy has been practicing Bronze Whip Boxing all his life, and then he met you. I heard from Xiao Jing that you suppressed him with one hand?"

“Well, after all, old man, I can’t really fight him, so I just warned him.” Li Chengyi replied.

“Well, now people from the General Security Administration have come to my place, and people from the Judiciary Division of the Military Department have also come. Fortunately, there is surveillance video of the whole process, otherwise this matter would be really troublesome.” Prison Dragon said helplessly in his tone.

 “You shouldn’t scare him.”

“Teacher, if he committed suicide, it was because he was mentally fragile. He was already old and couldn’t even bear this small blow. I don’t think it’s my problem.” Li Chengyi frowned.

"That's what I said, but in this world and this society, you won't win unless you are right." Prison Dragon obviously had many feelings, and he stopped talking when he said this.

"Just like between countries, what's the use of trying to reason with other countries? The result is the most important. The current situation is that he is dead, and we are the biggest suspects. You will probably do the same soon. Go and investigate. Because you have another identity, you will be more suspicious when the time comes."

“I understand. Thank you, teacher.” Li Chengyi replied.

"Next time, if something like this happens again, just be patient and don't do anything. One more thing is worse than one less thing." Prison Dragon advised.

"Teacher, I don't think I am at fault. We are all adults. He took the initiative to look for trouble, but when he lost, he went back and committed suicide. Do you still want us to take responsibility? There is no reason!" Li Chengyi frowned and said in a low voice. "Xiaoyi, you are still young. If we want to live a stable life, we must learn to retreat when it is time to live a stable life." Prison Dragon sighed, "If I hadn't retreated bravely in time, I wouldn't have such a stable life now."

"Principle is not important, right or wrong is not important. Even if you are reasonable, even if you are right, you are now a subject of suspicion and have to be investigated by the General Security Administration. Who is the loser?" His last words seemed to be spoken. He had the greatest enlightenment in his life.

“Teacher, you are old.” Li Chengyi hung up the phone and narrowed his eyes.

 Some people are destined to live as brightly as a shooting star in their lifetime, but shooting stars are fleeting, short-lived and beautiful. They are happy to have grudges and grudges, and are wanton and arrogant.

 Some people may not have any dazzling moments in their lives, but they can live longer. The only thing required is to be patient and retreat, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

 The difference lies in what route you are willing to choose and what kind of life you want.

 Li Chengyi knows.

 If it were him in the past, he might have chosen the latter path.

 But it’s a pity that he is in a blind spot and has no choice.

When he came to the gate of Yong'an Garden, he raised his head and glanced at the three characters "Yong'an Garden".

 For a while, he stopped moving forward and just stood at the door without moving.

 “Why don’t you come in? Brother Cheng?”

Da Hei was passing by the courtyard with a basin of dirty clothes in his arms. When he saw Li Chengyi, he suddenly expressed doubts.

 “It’s okay.” Li Chengyi lowered his head.

 “Is everyone here?” he asked.

“Well, because there may be an omen at any time, everyone gathered here.” Dahei nodded.

Li Chengyi smiled and strode through the door.

 He also needs to be prepared. Without the Silent Shop, he would need to open up a new channel to obtain dead-end items.

 Otherwise, the externally cultivated mutant flowers that he had high hopes for might have been aborted.

 Enter the inner hall.

Skittle Candy and Big Bear were sitting on the terrace reading e-books and drinking hot milk tea.

 Xiao Zong was busy cooking something, but there was a distinct smell of paste coming out.

The gantry crane was lying lazily on the sofa, yawning, and raising one foot high.

Seeing Li Chengyi enter the door, he stretched out his hand and waved it lazily as a greeting.

Skittle Candy and Big Bear waved their hands in this direction, lowered their heads and continued reading.

Li Chengyi said hello and walked upstairs.

 There is also a room reserved for him upstairs here.

 Enter a bedroom at the far end of the second floor.

 He opened the door.

 Inside the heavy alloy door is a spacious bedroom with walls, floor and ceiling all covered with a thick alloy surface.

The silver-gray coating dyes the entire room into a sci-fi style.

 All tables, chairs, bookshelves, lamps, etc. are all silver gray.

Li Chengyi entered the door and looked at the Feiyi suitcase stored in the corner, as well as a black bag containing small items in a quiet corner.

 He walked over, rummaged through it, and took out a dusty thing that looked like a can of fish.

 Greedy heart, this is a small thing he bought in a quiet shop one time.

 I have never been able to find a way to use it, but this time I can give it a try.

Taking out this small thing that could not be seen by outsiders, Li Chengyi stood up and began to think about how to get there.

 The silent shop is gone, but there is still a firm hand.

 He did not forget that Black Iselin mentioned before that he could trade with those beings in the Black Sea.

 But the clasping hand does not mean that you can go in if you want to.

‘Unless I go to the prototype land over Sutan again, it will be a bit troublesome to enter. I can only wait for it to take the initiative to pull me. ’

“Iselin, I want to enter your place, do you have any idea?” He suddenly whispered.

 No one responded.

 Obviously, Iselin was unable to respond in reality, and perhaps she was not even sure whether she heard this sentence.

Li Chengyi thought for a while and walked slowly to the corner of the bedroom, where a standing rectangular wooden cabinet was placed.

Open the cabinet door, and inside there is a standing skeleton of a little girl, which is fixed upright on a black base.

  The skeleton was fixed with special brackets everywhere.

Li Chengyi thought of what Iselin said before, and immediately stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the skeleton.

 “Iselin, I want to enter your place, do you have any idea?”

His voice produced a subtle tremor, which along with his palms, was gently transmitted to Iselin’s bones.

 One second.

 Two seconds.

 Three seconds.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 eaten.

A slight sound came from behind Li Chengyi.

 He let go of his hand and turned around.

 A blond girl in a black corset dress was looking at him happily.
