Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

Chapter 65: December 12, 2

Ji Shumiao was prepared to live in fear and anxiety for a long time, but he didn't expect the police to solve the case so quickly. Based on the clues they provided, they caught the murderer the next day.

Ji Shumiao's heart was finally half relieved.

Ji Zhenhua and others urged the brother and sister to go back to school. Ji Shumiao had a vague premonition that told her that her father was safe, so she reluctantly left Hebei.

The driver who came to pick them up was a newly hired driver named Yang Donglin, who was in his thirties, humorous and talkative, and was from a county near Beijing. Qin Yun and Qin Rong carefully selected the driver and asked Lu Yong and the private detective they had hired before to check the details of the driver thoroughly before they dared to use him for the two children.

As soon as Ji Shulang got in the car, his expression changed. He looked bitter and depressed. He buried his face in his hands and rubbed them: "Boss Miao, I feel so useless."

Ji Shumiao sighed helplessly and patted his shoulder comfortingly: "Don't think so. At least you still have self-awareness."

Ji Shulang rolled his eyes to the sky.

He had been following Ji Shiqian to explore sales these days and found out that he was really not cut out for sales. Every meal made him feel physically uncomfortable and suffer from indigestion. Everyone had their own ideas and their words had hidden meanings. There was also the drinking culture, which Ji Shulang really didn't understand.

After listening to his story, Ji Shumiao did not add insult to injury and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, you have too low a limit, so you can't make sales."

She would have to meet that scumbag salesperson when she returned to Beijing.

In his previous life, Ji Shulang did technical work at a station in a second-tier city, where he was responsible for maintaining the Harmony trains.

Ji Shulang quickly cheered up, rubbed his hands and was eager to try: "Call grandma and tell them not to cook. Let's go to Donglaishun tonight. I'll try the mutton hotpot with sesame sauce. I should be used to it now."

"Okay, pack a roast duck and take it with you. I want to eat roast duck too."

Ji Shulang said with a "tsk". "Big eyes but a small stomach. How capable are you to eat both shabu-shabu mutton and roast duck? Aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death?"

Ji Shumiao smiled meaningfully and asked Yang Donglin who was driving: "Uncle Yang, can one person eat at two restaurants at the same time?"

When Qin Rong told her about this man's origins on the phone, Ji Shumiao felt something was wrong. Looking at Yang Donglin's expression, she knew that she had guessed right again.

Ji Shulang sensed that there was something else behind her words, and looked at Yang Donglin with a frown and wariness.

"Uh... well, if you can eat this... and there's no conflict between the two sides, then... it depends on the individual..."

Ji Shumiao laughed: "What conflict? We asked you to be our driver, but what did Uncle Lu ask you to be?"

Yang Donglin said with a bitter face: "Please don't embarrass me. I have elderly parents and elderly children to take care of. I can't help myself."

Ji Shumiao called Lu Yonghe in front of the two of them and said in a cold tone, "Uncle Lu, the driver you found drives well."

"Miaomiao, uncle is also concerned about your safety. Xiao Yang knows a little bit of martial arts..."

"Whether it's fists or some other kind of kung fu, Uncle Lu will understand it himself." Ji Shumiao interrupted him and said, "It's my negligence. I should have told you during the last burglary. I don't like my partners using such shady means against me. Since it's a cooperation, we should be equal and face to face. Let's talk about anything on the table."

Lu Yonghe asked in a suspicious tone: "Are you warning me?"

Ji Shumiao was so angry that he laughed: "You threatened me first, why are you the first to complain?"

Who wants to be controlled by others?

Things are different now. Even if Ji Shumiao and Lu Yonghe overturn the table, she can still rely on the connections in the province with the help of County Magistrate Zhou of Chutuo County, and even get greater power. Can't she ask for protection for her family?

"Don't stretch your hand too far. I have things I can't afford to gamble with, and you dare not bring more to the gambling table." Ji Shumiao said slowly, "I don't know whether the fish will die, but the net will definitely be broken."

Will it be a lose-lose situation or a win-win cooperation?

All that was left in the phone was the quiet sound of electricity and the steady breathing of two people.

Ji Shulang and Yang Donglin also remained silent.

After about a minute, Lu Yonghe smiled and said, "The little girl has a bad temper. It's my uncle who didn't think it through."

Ji Shumiao also smiled: "I will give Uncle Yang a raise, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"it is good."

Ji Shumiao: "It's a pleasure to work with you, Uncle Lu."

Lu Yonghe: "It will definitely be a pleasure."

After hanging up the phone, the two people, hundreds of miles apart, had exactly the same expression.

Ji Shulang was concerned about Yang Donglin who was driving, so he kept silent.

On the other side, Lu Yonghe held the phone in silence for a few seconds, then laughed helplessly and angrily: "Ambition, it's good to have ambition."

The assistant at the side asked, "Do you want to knock it?"

"Do you think she is still the same vulnerable person she was three months ago?" Lu Yonghe smiled.

Assistant Xue: "Yang Donglin?"

Lu Yonghe said calmly: "What does Ji Shumiao's driver have to do with us?"

The brother and sister got out of the car in the underground garage. When they went upstairs, Ji Shulang pulled her up the stairs and said, "What kind of deal did you make with Lu Yonghe? Are you trying to get something from a tiger? And you kept it a secret from all of us. You are so brave!"

Ji Shumiao had a bitter face: "I had no choice at that time. I had to find someone powerful to protect you. At that time, Lu Yonghe was the best and only choice."

"He was the one who caused the house to be robbed?"

"I don't know, but it's related. Otherwise, why were the lost things sent back to us right after we left the Lu family?" Ji Shumiao was a little tired, and sat down on the stairs without caring whether it was dirty or not. "I think my ambition may harm you."

"What do you mean by ambition?" Ji Shulang sat down next to her. "You are the only one who is ambitious. Do we have been tossing and turning for you these past few months? No, we all have ambitions, and we are doing all this for our own ambitions. The company, the tea factory, the brick factory, which one did not we all agree to do? You are afraid of hurting us, afraid that the future development will be beyond your control, but things in the world cannot be completely controlled. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Our whole family will shoulder it together. It doesn't make sense that when you bring wealth and luck, we shamelessly enjoy it, and let you bear all the disasters alone. If you can't handle it, we will blame and resent you."

"Family means sharing weal and woe." Ji Shulang rubbed her head, "Don't keep everything to yourself. Children who worry too much will not grow tall."

Ji Shumiao thought it was right: "Okay, let me tell you about my future plans. I'm going to hire a scumbag to be the sales director tomorrow."

"Ah?" Ji Shulang was surprised. "Did it change so quickly?"

"There will be a big snowstorm early next year and a big earthquake in May."

Ji Shulang: “Huh?”

Ji Shumiao patted his shoulder and said, "Young man, do you know how much weight I, the boss, have to bear that I shouldn't bear at my age?"

"…You, let me digest it."

"You, let me eat some mutton hotpot to digest it."

Ji Shumiao jumped up and walked towards the elevator. Ji Shulang quickly followed: "Is the source of the news reliable?"

Ji Shumiao was tickled by his words and couldn't stop laughing, leaving Ji Shulang confused.
