Chapter 124: Times Have Changed
Bincheng!
When Lin Ye and Zhong Shan arrived at the airport, there was a car waiting there.
"Team Leader Zhong, our team leader is at Fengqing Street right now. Let me pick you up."
The team members of Bincheng Appraisal Institute knew Zhongshan but not Lin Ye. They came in a hurry and Zhongshan did not talk much with Bincheng.
"Okay, Consultant Lin, you go first."
When they arrived at the car, Zhong Shan asked Lin Ye to get in first, which stunned the team members who came to greet him. This person is the consultant?
Alien consultant?
So young?
"Advisor Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't know your identity just now."
Although a little surprised, the team member reacted quickly and apologized. There is an unwritten rule in the appraisal institute that consultants must not be offended.
Regardless of whether the consultant belongs to their appraisal institute or not, as long as he is a consultant, the appraisal institute will treat him according to the highest rules wherever he goes.
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Ye smiled at the other person, indicating that there was no need to be so nervous.
"Tell me about the situation. There was no signal on the plane just now. What's the situation on Fengqing Street now?" Zhong Shan asked the team member Bincheng.
The Bincheng team member introduced: "Mr. Yang is in Fengqing Street right now. Our consultant Liao and the team leader tried to persuade him for a long time, but Mr. Yang just wouldn't listen. Consultant Liao was even injured."
Although the team member Bincheng didn't say anything, it could be felt from his tone that he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Mr. Yang.
"Injured, what happened? Was he injured by Elder Yang?"
"Well, Consultant Liao just explained a few words, but Mr. Yang called him a traitor and a traitor. Then Consultant Liao was not convinced and said a few words in reply, so Mr. Yang attacked Consultant Liao without knowing the truth."
Zhong Shan: ...
He knew that Mr. Yang had a hot temper and said to Lin Ye with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect that Mr. Yang would still be as vigorous as ever after going to another place."
Lin Ye didn't say anything and squinted his eyes in the seat. Zhong Shan saw that Lin Ye didn't want to talk so he didn't continue to ask. Instead, he knew the situation when he arrived at the scene.
"Do you have detailed information about Fengqing Street? And information about the investment and management companies behind it?"
The car drove for about half an hour. Lin Ye, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and asked. Zhong Shan saw the team members who were still a little dazed and urged: "Advisor Lin asked you, is there anything?"
"I...I'll ask the station to transfer him out right away."
Naturally, the team members did not have it, but it was very simple for the appraisal institute to check the background of a company. In just one minute, the staff gave Lin Ye a report, which was printed out from the car.
"Your car is great. It's equipped with printing and internet."
Zhong Shan was a little envious. The appraisal institute in Bincheng used a lot of high-tech equipment, but they in Raocheng had not caught up yet. He didn't dare to mention it before, but now that Consultant Lin was here, he should report it to his superiors. It was time to replace the equipment in the Raocheng Appraisal Institute.
There is no need to worry that the bosses above will not agree. It will be enough to bring up Consultant Lin. Then we can say that Consultant Lin came to Bincheng and felt that the Bincheng Appraisal Institute is very efficient. The bosses above will then have to think about it.
Zhong Shan took the documents and handed one to Lin Ye first, while he picked up the second copy and started reading it.
"The companies invested in are quite complicated. There are domestic companies and Xiaozizu companies. The total investment is more than 6 billion. Xiaozizu will probably lose all its money. As for this domestic company, it deserves it. There are so many other companies to deal with, but why did they do this?"
Zhong Shan was talking as he read. After Lin Ye finished reading the document, he said quietly, "I'm afraid that Zui Wen's intention is not to drink."
"The drunkard's intention is not to drink, Consultant Lin, what do you mean by this?"
Ever since the folk street in Bincheng was mentioned, Zhong Shan had sensed that Consultant Lin seemed to be hiding something.
Lin Ye asked back: "Do you think that with the wisdom of the boss of this company, he could not have imagined how much of a response such a street would cause? Why would he invest in such a big risk?"
"Maybe he wants to take a gamble. Businessmen all like to gamble." Zhong Shan answered as a matter of course.
"Gambling is for ordinary businessmen. A gamble may make them rich overnight or even financially independent. But for a company of this level, stable development is the most important thing. If you don't have good relationships with all parties, how can you possibly develop such a large project?"
Lin Ye shook his head. His words made Zhong Shan think for a while. It was indeed true.
"Consultant Lin, this project has been halted. The company has not sorted out all aspects." A member of the Bincheng team explained. He is a local and has a clearer understanding of the situation.
"Don't you think this is weird?" Lin Ye asked back.
"It's a bit strange. What is the purpose of this company's boss doing this?"
Zhong Shan looked at Lin Ye with inquiring eyes. Lin Ye rolled his eyes at this guy in his heart. To be able to become the team leader of Raocheng Appraisal Institute, it is impossible for Zhong Shan to be ignorant. He was pretending to be ignorant and waiting for him to answer his questions so as to flatter him.
"I see. There must be huge benefits. This company is a technology company in general, and it has a lot of business dealings with Xiaorizi. Xiaorizi has promised him a lot of benefits in this regard."
However, Zhongshan's chance to flatter was dashed , and the Bincheng team member slapped his head and looked as if he understood.
Lin Ye looked at Zhong Shan with a playful smile. Zhong Shan looked a little embarrassed, but he cursed in his heart, "You are the only one who saw it. Didn't I see it? Isn't this obvious? I just want to cooperate with Consultant Lin to show how wise he is."
"This Xiaorizi is planning to build such a street, firstly to make money from our people, and secondly to export culture. But this shouldn't be the case. As for Xiaorizi's culture, apart from some otakus, the only things that can be exported are those movies about women being threatened, which let us know how much women in Xiaorizi are bullied."
The Bincheng team member made a joke, but Zhongshan ignored him because he was trying to sabotage them. However, Lin Ye had already closed his eyes at this moment. He was a little embarrassed and could only giggle. The car returned to silence again.
…
…
Love street!
When Lin Ye and Zhong Shan got off the car, the outside was already blocked off and a middle-aged man came to greet them.
"Old Zhong, you are finally here."
"Let me introduce you. This is our consultant Rao Chenglin." Zhong Shan immediately introduced Lin Ye to the middle-aged man.
"Hello, Consultant Lin. I am Cao Wang, the team leader of Bincheng Appraisal Institute."
Cao Wang looked at Lin Ye. He naturally knew that Rao City had a consultant some time ago, but he didn't expect that the consultant was so young.
"Take me to find Mr. Yang."
Lin Ye nodded, and Cao Wang led the way. When the group entered Fengqing Street, Lin Ye could feel the surging ghost energy emanating from deep within the street.
"What's going on? Did Mr. Yang take action?" Zhong Shan also felt it and asked Cao Wang.
"Although this Fengqing Street has been renovated, many Japanese-style villas in Fengqing Street were sold before the opening. Many of them were bought by young people. Unfortunately, one young person was seen by an old man in Fengqing Street. The old man went berserk and attacked the young person. Consultant Liao tried to dissuade him but was also injured. I have reported the situation to the higher-ups and asked them to send people to support me."
"Support what?"
Lin Ye, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped and glanced at Cao Wang. Being stared at by Lin Ye, Cao Wang felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. His breathing became a little rapid, and he stammered, "Support Consultant Liao, don't let the old man hurt anyone."
"So if Elder Yang ignores your dissuasion and takes action against Xiao Rizi, are you going to take action against Elder Yang?"
Lin Ye's question made Cao Wang stunned and he didn't know how to answer, especially the oppressive feeling the other party brought to him. He felt as if if he answered wrong, he would be devoured by the beast.
"Advisor Lin, Lao Cao and the others would definitely not do this. Lao Yang has done a great job."
Zhong Shan noticed Cao Wang's discomfort at the moment and quickly came to his rescue. Lin Ye then withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.
"Old Zhong, what is the origin of your consultant? Why do you feel so pressured when facing him?" Cao Wang slowed down his pace and asked Zhong Shan in a low voice with lingering fear.
"Don't offend Consultant Lin. Just support him no matter what he wants to do."
Zhong Shan pointed out to Cao Wang that he also sensed that there was something wrong with Consultant Lin's mood. He rarely saw Consultant Lin with a cold face.
"I understand." Cao Wang gave Zhong Shan a grateful look. He understood after hearing these words.
In front of a villa in Fengqing Street, Old Yang was pinching a young man, and there were four or five young men lying on the ground, wailing in pain. Not far away, a young man holding a bell stared at Old Yang with an ugly expression.
"Old man, you are going too far."
Liao Fei looked at Old Yang. There was a bruise on his forehead, which was caused by a hit from Old Yang before. This made him angry. Since he became an alien, he had never been hit so hard.
"Are you from Bincheng?"
Old Yang stared at Liao Fei, who was a little confused. What did this have to do with whether he was a local or not? "Yes, I am a local."
"Locals, you are a bastard who has betrayed your ancestors. Do you know how many corpses are buried in this land? They were all brutally killed by the Japanese devils back then."
Old Yang glared at Liao Fei, who curled his lips and said, "This happened many years ago. We can't always live in hatred. What's more, the two countries are friendly now. This is no longer the era of the past."
Hate hate!
Nearly a hundred years have passed. If you really want to hold a grudge, just don't use any of their products, including their electrical appliances and cars.
"It's over. Are the two countries friendly?"
Old Yang's expression suddenly became lonely. Yes, it's all over.
But no one remembers that back then everyone worked so hard to drive their little families out, and nine out of ten households were left with only women and children.
All of that is in the past, and no one remembers the crimes that Xiao Zi committed on this land. They forget that not far away, there are tens of thousands of corpses lying there and countless dead souls still crying.
"Yes, this street was built for exchanges between the two countries and for the people to make more money. Mr. Yang, the people under your feet are all small businessmen, and they haven't done anything wrong."
"They have big ambitions. Do you think they came to China to do business?"
"Yes, now that we are not at war, what else can we do besides doing business? Just let them go."
"What if I don't let it go?"
"Then...then I have no choice but to offend."
Liao Fei had already become impatient. He had suffered a loss before because he had held back. If a real fight came, he would not be afraid, not to mention that he had a magic weapon in his hand.
"You're going to attack me just to make a living?"
Elder Yang asked in a deep voice, and Liao Fei replied impatiently: "I have said it before, this is not the era now. If something happens to these people, it will affect the relationship between the two countries."
"It means I will."
Bang!
Without any warning, Old Yang suddenly swung the man he was holding in his hand, breaking his neck and sending him flying like a kite with a broken string.
This scene made the faces of several men living underground turn pale. Liao Fei did not expect that Mr. Yang would be so determined. His face became ugly and the bell in his hand began to shake immediately.
Just as he shook the bell, a hand appeared in his sight, and then a slap directly slapped his bell away.
Immediately afterwards, he saw an extremely handsome boy appear in front of him, and before he could react, he felt a pain in his chest and flew out.
The one who took action was naturally Lin Ye.
Zhong Shan and Cao Wang, who were following behind Lin Ye a few steps slower, were both stunned when they saw this scene. However, Zhong Shan reacted first and immediately grabbed Cao Wang's arm, saying, "Old Cao, I'm telling you, no matter what the situation, you must stand on the side of Consultant Lin."
He had also heard of this alien consultant Bincheng, who was also a newcomer who had become an alien not long ago and was a few years older than Consultant Lin.
In terms of age, he is older than Consultant Lin, but in terms of strength, the gap between the two is the opposite, and it is several times greater. He is reminding Cao Wang not to offend Consultant Lin just because Liao Fei is Bincheng's consultant.
Seeing Cao Wang's confused look, Zhong Shan lowered his voice and said, "The Wushang Ghost Merchant incident is related to Consultant Lin."
Lin Ye didn't even look at Liao Fei who flew out, but looked at Old Yang with a complicated expression.
"What? Are you here to stop me too?" Old Yang asked with a cold snort when he saw Lin Ye appear.
"How could that be? You can do whatever you want. I will never stop you. Even if I have to kill all of these people present, it's fine."
Lin Ye expressed his attitude, and Old Yang's expression eased a little. Liao Fei, who got up from the ground, looked at Lin Ye and shouted angrily: "Who are you?"
"Advisor Liao, he is Advisor Lin from Raocheng." Cao Wang listened to Liao Fei's question and quickly explained.
"Raocheng's consultant, we are both consultants , why did you attack me?"
Liao Fei became even angrier when he heard this. We are all in the same system, yet he still attacked me.
"Shut your mouth, or I'll shut you up."
Lin Ye glanced at Liao Fei coldly, and Liao Fei was still a little unconvinced. Cao Wang, who had been reminded by Zhong Shan, quickly pulled Liao Fei and advised: "Advisor Liao, let's wait a moment. Maybe Advisor Lin did this for a reason."
If it was just Zhong Shan's reminder, he would not think that his consultant would be inferior to Consultant Lin, but when Zhong Shan mentioned Wushang Guishang, he knew that his consultant was definitely not a match for Consultant Lin.
He knew about Gao Rui, the ghost merchant involved in the Wushang incident. Two years ago, when the Bincheng ghost market opened, Gao Rui also came. At that time, Consultant Liao flattered Gao Rui a lot. At the request of Consultant Liao, the entire appraisal institute showed 100% enthusiasm and received Gao Rui according to the highest rules.
And according to Zhong Shan, Gao Rui was abandoned by Consultant Lin, which immediately made the difference.
"The reason? I want to see what his reason is. This matter is not over yet!"
Liao Fei was also a man of strong appearance but weak heart. Although he had previously thought that Lin Ye was suspected of a sneak attack, he himself did not react when the man approached him, which showed that this man's strength was at least not inferior to his.
Lin Ye ignored Liao Fei and even took the initiative to walk up to a poor man lying on the ground. Then, in front of everyone's surprised eyes, he kicked the man's head and cracked it.
Such a bloody scene shocked everyone present.
Liao Fei's body trembled. This... this is not an extraordinary person at all. This is clearly a murderous demon.
How could a foreigner be so rude?
"Mr. Yang, do you think this is enough to show my attitude?"
Old Yang was also stunned by Lin Ye's actions. After hearing Lin Ye's question, he suddenly burst into laughter the next moment.
There was a sense of relief in this laughter.
"Boy, you don't need to do anything with these guys, I'll do it!"
Old Yang's eyes fell on the remaining three men. The three men looked at each other, and two of them stood up suddenly and pounced towards Lin Ye.
"Baka!"
One of them actually pulled out a dagger from his waist, and he didn't look like he was injured and couldn't stand up at all.
The two men lying on the ground wailing were pretending.
Looking at the two guys rushing towards him, Lin Ye looked at them as if they were clowns, and threw out two calm punches, which landed accurately on their Adam's apples.
puff!
The two men spat out blood, their Adam's apples burst and they fell to the ground. Blood flowed out from their Adam's apples. The scene was very bloody.
The last person who was left looked at this scene, a look of determination first flashed across his face, but then he became hesitant. While he was changing back and forth, Old Yang had already walked in front of him.
The moment Old Yang stretched out his hand, the man could no longer bear it and shouted loudly. At the same time, he took out a black token from his arms with a rune engraved on it.
The man placed his hand on the rune and quickly muttered something in Japanese. It was obvious that he had some backup plan.
But neither Lin Ye nor Old Yang tried to stop the man's actions, or rather, they were waiting for this moment.
