A small head with wet hair poked out from the crack in the bathroom door, and his big eyes, covered in shyness, glanced around.
After confirming that there was no one in the corridor, Xiao Ju breathed a sigh of relief.
The little hands tightly squeezed the bath towel around her body, and the little loli ran into her room with her smooth white legs.
About five minutes later, Jiang Chen walked out of the bathroom with a refreshing look.
Although he felt that going out together was no big deal, Xiao Ju blushed and insisted on going out separately.
When she thought of being looked at by everyone with ambiguous eyes when she came out last time, she wanted to find a crack on the ground and crawl into it.
Is this a waste of time?While wiping his hair with the towel on his shoulder, Jiang Chen said comfortably to himself.
Even if they are separated, everyone must know that they were washed together.
Let's go to bed today.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen walked towards his room.
However, when passing by Liu Yifei's door, the door suddenly opened.
I saw that Liu Yifei, whose hair had been blown dry, was only wearing a light long shirt and was looking at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.
Uh, is there anything?Although this look is very attractive, Jiang Chen, who has already shot empty bullets, is currently in the legendary sage mode.
If you accept Liu Yifei's invitation, it will be a little bad in all aspects.
At this time, Liu Shishi suddenly hugged him from behind.
Hehe, brother-in-law, why don’t you go in?With the little devil's smile on his face, Liu Shishi said mischievously in Jiang Chen's ear.
This little fairy...
Feeling the soft and soft pushing of his back, Jiang Chen was pushed in by Liu Shishi with laughter and cry.
He always felt that if this continues, his body will be over sooner or later.
……
The next morning.
Does your body matter?Seeing Jiang Chen walking into the office with his empty steps, Tang Yan said with a frown.
It doesn't matter.Jiang Chen waved his hand, and sat on his throne without looking at her face awkwardly.
Tang Yan looked at him speechlessly and said after a while.
...In various senses, it is better to restrain some things.
Jiang Chen, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost sprayed out the tea...
If it is normal, Jiang Chen, who slept too late, would mostly choose to sleep until noon the next day and directly turn off the work of the next day.
However, news came from Jia City yesterday afternoon that there were visitors from Hangzhou.
Due to various factors such as prestige, Jiang Chen had to bite the bullet and get up early in bed.
After sitting in the office of the community center for less than an hour, a knock on the door soon broke out.
After tidying up his collar, Jiang Chen asked for in, a man in a somewhat faded beige suit walked in under the guidance of the NAC knight.
With a familiar face, Jiang Chen remembers that his name is Kong Qian. He was the one who came to contact the Hangzhou Merchant Federation for the first time.
Welcome, Mr. President.Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Don't dare to be the marshal.Kong Qian bowed with a smile, and then added, "The Uncrowned King of Shanghai."
Uncrowned King?
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with this title, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
He warmly invited Kong Qian to sit on the sofa where the guests were meeting, and Jiang Chen ordered the staff at the community center to pour tea for the two of them.
Looking at the tea floating in the cup, Jiang Chen noticed that the president of the Chamber of Commerce stared straight and swallowed clearly.
He picked up the teacup and tasted it. Kong Qian's face showed an intoxicated expression.
Good tea, if I guess correctly, it should be West Lake Longjing.
Unexpectedly, President Kong still understands tea?Jiang Chen asked with interest.
Jiang Chen, a high-end product such as Longjing and Tieguanyin, has never been sold in the Sixth Block. He just put it in the community center with good things like Blue Mountain Coffee and Sri Lankan Black Tea to improve his life.
If it were Jiang Chen himself, he would never drink these things as water, and he would not taste any difference between tea and tea.
I drank it before the war and knew a little bit.Kong Qian smiled, and a hint of regret appeared on his face. It was a pity that the West Lake no longer produces tea.
In the harsh natural environment, bandits wandering like locusts, bloodthirsty zombies and alien species, although the radiation resistance of tea makes it possible to plant on many soils, it is not to mention that its quality is not as good as before the war, and the difficulty of planting this delicate cash crop is not ordinary.
If President Kong likes it, I can give you two packs to bring back.Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Jiang Chen was very satisfied that the Hangzhou Merchant Federation obeyed his warning and did not trip up when NAC attacked the mutants.
So as agreed, his soldiers stopped in Jia City and did not continue to move westward.
Thank you very much.Kong Qian said in surprise.
There is nothing better to express friendship than such a good thing that can't be bought with money.
You're welcome.Jiang Chen waved his hand and continued with a kind look, but I guess you are coming this time not to have tea with me to reminisce about the past.
That's right.Kong Qian sat slightly and spoke with a little cautiously, saying, "I'm here to confirm our friendship."
Our friendship does not need to be confirmed, and a month ago you have made a choice that fits our friendship.Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Kong Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
He paused, and he suggested in a cautious tone.
We sincerely thank you for your efforts in clearing the trade route.To strengthen our friendship, I bring a mutually beneficial agreement.
Let's hear it.Jiang Chen smiled.
According to our statistics, there are currently 1,121 businessmen walking the sixth block of the trade route.The mutants currently entrenched in Jia City and No. 7 have been eliminated, and the danger level in Shanghai has also decreased a lot.It can be predicted that this number will increase several times next year.So we hope to set up a chapter of the Merchant Guild in the Sixth Block.
guild?Jiang Chen looked at Kong Qian with interest. Can’t the council in the Sixth District protect your legitimate rights and interests?
No, no, Mr. Marshal, you misunderstood.Kong Qian quickly explained that this guild is not political, but only provides information support to merchants who trade in the Sixth Block, as well as employment information for caravan guards...
The last item is available to the Mercenary Union.Jiang Chen smiled.
In desperation, Kong Qian had to compromise and then remove the last item.
Of course I will not object to the establishment of a Merchant Guild, but it must be carried out under the supervision of local governments.Jiang Chen said in a tone of refusal.
I want to know, what does this so-called supervision mean?Do you have to wear NAC uniforms when you go to work?Kong Qian asked cautiously.
Of course not.Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head. We will send a prosecutor to the guild, and his salary will be paid by us.He will not interfere with your daily work except in participating in your public meetings.Or, as long as you only do what the businessman should do, he will not interfere with your daily work.
Is this the only requirement?Kong Qian asked with some doubts.
Only this requirement.Jiang Chen nodded.
After a pause, Jiang Chen continued.
In contrast, we also hope to carry out similar cooperation with you, such as establishing a branch of a mercenary union at your chamber of commerce.Don’t be nervous. We will not send any armed units to station except the staff. We believe you can ensure the safety of their lives and property.We will provide you with employment information, and provide you with channels to publish employment information and the credit rating of the employer.
On the other hand, if you are interested, we can open the Sixth Block Bank branch to your area.Yajing is currently depreciating wildly in the Sixth Block. I believe that with the circulation of trade routes, this depreciation phenomenon will spread to other regions soon.At present, the trade in the Sixth Block has basically been removed from the sub-crystals, and I believe this will accelerate the depreciation of the sub-crystals.Of course, if you are not interested in the credit points with strong purchasing power, we can also not mention this.
Kong Qian hurriedly said, "No, we are very interested, but I heard that the electronic payment channels of credit points can only be carried out within the scope of Shanghai."
Currently, many merchants in Hangzhou hold the currency of credit points, but most of the ones they hold are banknotes with excellent anti-counterfeiting performance.
At present, it can only be carried out within the scope of Shanghai. If we establish a communication base station in Hangzhou and include you in the information network we set up, the territory of this payment channel will be expanded westward by another 200 kilometers.Jiang Chen said with a smile.
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Kong Qian couldn't help but hold his breath.
Mercenary Union Branch and Sixth Block Bank Branch were established in Hangzhou, communication base stations were established, and information networks were joined in Shanghai.It has to be said that the proposal proposed by Jiang Chen made Kong Qian unable to refuse.
Although the possible risks in this are also difficult for him to ignore.
Although NAC promised not to march towards Hangzhou, Jiang Chen did prove his credit and the non-aggressiveness of NAC with his actions.
But that being said, anyone will instinctively feel uneasy when facing a powerful neighbor.
If these agreements are reached, NAC's influence will undoubtedly expand to Hangzhou.
If this kind of influence expansion is to lay the groundwork for invading the latter's subversion, then it is undoubtedly terrible, but if it is just to strengthen economic and trade cooperation, then it is undoubtedly beneficial and harmless.
Your proposal is tempting, but also disturbing.Kong Qian sighed and said frankly.
In terms of wasteland, how many people can Shanghai and Jia City accommodate?Jiang Chen asked suddenly.
Kong Qian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's probably possible to hold millions."
So is your armed forces posing a threat to us?Jiang Chen smiled.
A bitter smile appeared on Kong Qian's face.
Their people have seen the financial resources of NAC. Although the overwhelming rockets have no technical content, they are obviously not something that their productivity level can achieve.
Then what are you still afraid of?Jiang Chen laughed.
Kong Qian was stunned for a moment, then understood Jiang Chen's meaning, and a smile of understanding and helplessness appeared on his face.
There is no million people in the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou Province, and there is no competition for living space between the two sides. Or just developing the ruins of Shanghai is enough for NAC people to work hard.
From this combat power perspective, they do not pose any threat to NAC.
There is no need for invasion at all.
From the day the credit points are popularized, the survivor forces in the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou Province will become economic vassals of the NAC.
It is a very funny reality. We can survive because we seem harmless.Kong Qian said helplessly, stand up, I will convey your proposal to the Federation of Merchants.Of course, I guess it won't be difficult to pass the proposal.
Then I wish us a happy cooperation.Jiang Chen also stood up and stretched out his right hand with a smile.
Happy cooperation.Kong Qian held Jiang Chen's hand and nodded.
After confirming that there was no one in the corridor, Xiao Ju breathed a sigh of relief.
The little hands tightly squeezed the bath towel around her body, and the little loli ran into her room with her smooth white legs.
About five minutes later, Jiang Chen walked out of the bathroom with a refreshing look.
