Feast of villains

Chapter 168 168. Are you counting on Shadow to help you fall in love......

In the end, darkness enveloped the city like a thin skin.

Garbage collection trucks appear on the road, people who have finally finished working all night, and young people who are tired from playing all night, walk with their heads down like a school of fish going upstream.

There are not many people.

The prosperity of Shin-Yokohama under the plague has been damaged.

Before dawn, Nance returned to Lesson [-] and prepared documents in his office.

After the sun came out, the gaps between the green trees were silhouetted on the desktop, shaking slightly in the wind.He buried himself in the computer, and sometimes used his fingers to write and draw on the screen. Far away, in the world outside the wall, there were sounds of passers-by abusing and fighting.

Nance turned his head and looked out.

The painful voice rang for a while, and then calmed down.

Such small-scale chaos has been staged repeatedly.

The impact of the snowstorm last year was too great. From south to north, from east to west, many places in California are still in a state of severe famine.The heavy snow cut off the north-south land transportation channel, further weakening the imperial capital's influence on California, and the inaction of local bureaucrats in California led to widespread starvation.

The spread of the plague caused even greater panic.

The corpses of homeless people in the streets and alleys of Shin-Yokohama far exceed previous years.

Leave the plague to Tokisaki, and I will focus on food prices... Nance sighed slightly, turned his gaze back to the screen, and analyzed the current situation.

During this period of time, Du Xiuxian has not been idle.

How to distribute disaster relief and how to stabilize the soaring food prices are his top priorities.

Through Sister Marlene's huge network of relationships, he gradually got in touch with many local grain merchants in Shin-Yokohama secretly. Taking advantage of the political resources of the imperial capital and the opportunity of a lot of capital from the north to flow into Shin-Yokohama, he would win over those grain merchants who could. , If you can't win over, leave them all to Nance, and let Nance try to see if he can use them intimidatingly.

After Ma Lian was pulled onto the grain merchant's boat, Du Xiuxian was given a list of diehard grain merchants.

Then, the old and cunning fox kicked this pile of troubles to Nance like kicking a snowball, saying bluntly, "These are all the achievements of your god in the future..."

Pooh!
Nance spat secretly.

Isn't the meaning of this move just to make him hard.

However, Du Xiuxian didn't have the energy to deal with those diehards. During this period of time, he was busy mobilizing food to maintain the distribution of basic rations for disaster relief, and he had already consumed all his energy.

It's a pity that the waterway for transporting grain has never been able to make any progress.

The Kwai Chung Freight Terminal was originally a breakthrough, but because of the plague, the city hall found an excuse to surround it. All cargo ships arriving at the port were unable to unload their cargo, so they had to wait on the pier for the day when the lockdown was lifted.

It is completely unrealistic to rely on the current grain stocks on the market to maintain the new grains on the market.

Under the intertwined relationship of interests, Du Xiuxian's actions were hindered too much.Now he can only hope that Nance, a newcomer in politics, will clean up this mess in an unreasonable way.

As for whether Nance will be retaliated against in the future...

It has nothing to do with him as a man from the imperial capital.

Although Nance is a political novice, he has become more and more proficient at guessing other people's minds after being a jealous envoy for so long.He is naturally very clear about the old fox's behavior of pushing him to the forefront, but he just doesn't want to care about it at this juncture.

Of course.

He is not a simple and honest person.

Du Xiuxian's daughter is not married to him, so he will not be polite to the old fox.

Today you plan on me, tomorrow I will ask Ma Lian to plan on your cooperation with the Li family, if you don’t cheat me, I will write the name upside down...

After thinking wildly for a while, Nance returned his attention to the screen.

As far as personal ability is concerned, he knows nothing about business.So he doesn't plan to participate in any grain business war, just leave it to Ma Lian. He is in charge of supervising Ma Lian and teaching some people who are not afraid of death.

Specifically, Shuichi Akasaka and those big grain merchants.

I heard from Sister Marlene that after the death of President Yamamoto, Akasaka Shuichi took over the grain storage in person.The reason for this may be that he is not willing to part with such a big piece of fat, or it may be that he is holding his breath and wants to have a head-on confrontation with Nance.

Nance is naturally happy to see this situation.

New and old grudges can be settled together, if this kind of battle is successfully won in the end, he will definitely win a huge amount of wealth.With the money, coupled with the accumulation of enough reputation and contacts, when he wants to do something more meaningful, it will no longer be delusional.

At this time, he already had a hazy idea in his heart that was difficult to clarify.

It won't be long before he will find the ultimate way to become a demon, but right now, this idea has not yet come to light.

"Boom~"

There was a knock on the door.

Nance looked up.

There are two heads, emerging from the crack in the door.

Among them, the younger one put on a ferocious grimace, obviously trying to startle him.

"Ha~!"

Li Qingxian jumped into the room, bent his hands into claws, and stared over.

Ah... so scary..." Nance quickly patted his chest.

"..."

This acting was too fake, Li Qingxian immediately lost interest, pouted, walked to the chair in front of him and sat down.The one following Qingxian was naturally Li Qinglian.She was wearing a white dress, with a bright and clear smile, and bright eyes.

When my sister made a funny face just now, she even stuck out her tongue on her face.After seeing Nance's lack of acting skills, she couldn't help herself, and burst out laughing.

"Why come over to me when you have time?" Nance asked them with a smile, "Miss Irene didn't let you go to her report?"

"It's still early, mother asked me to bring you some breakfast." Li Qinglian put a small thermos box on the table, opened the lid, "Scallop lean meat porridge, eat it while it's hot."

“It smells good~”

Nance sniffed it, and couldn't wait to eat a few mouthfuls.

The soft hot porridge is eaten into the stomach, it is warm, and the tiredness of getting up early feels like being swept away.

"Are you going out today?" Li Qinglian asked with a smile.

"In the afternoon, go find Ma Lian and meet Du Xiuxian."

"By the way, I saw Tokisaki in the corridor just now. When she saw me bringing you breakfast, she asked me to tell you that when going out with Marlene, all necessary and non-essential expenses should be paid by Marlene. money."

"Oh. What a money junkie..." Nance smiled.

Li Qingxian on the opposite side snorted softly and looked at him with disdain: "Uncle, you are really useless!"

"Why am I useless?" Nance asked curiously.

"All the money in the house is in the hands of women, isn't it useless?" Li Qingxian looked at him, and originally wanted to make a more contemptuous expression, but he couldn't help yawning, and his whole face suddenly turned pale. Become lazy, "If you can spend a lot of money, I don't have to work, I can sleep if I want to sleep... ah~"

After all, she really closed her eyes and fell asleep on the table.

"I really envy you, you can sleep whenever you want..." Nance stretched out his hand and rubbed her pink hair.

"Speaking of which, I still have a headache about this." Li Qinglian sat down on the chair by the window beside him, took a notebook and a pen from the table, and glanced at his sleeping sister: "When I wake up, how do I feel about her?" His temper seems to be much stronger than before."

"It's like this for a child who lacks family care." Nance looked at the delicate face of the little hedgehog, smiled, and turned to comfort his sister: "You are still young, and your personality is easy to change, so you don't have to worry."

Li Qinglian looked at him and blinked slyly: "Then I will trouble you brother-in-law~"

"Good talk!"

Nance patted his chest for assurance.

The title "brother-in-law" is quite useful to him.

In the bright morning light, Li Qinglian was leaning against the window, humming a beautiful melody softly, holding a pen in his hand, and writing something in his notebook happily.

Nance looked sideways at her now and then.

Whenever she found that Nance was peeking at her, she would bow half-bent and salute, saying, "Honey, please concentrate on your work."

That smile is kind, gentle, warm, and mischievous, giving Nance a sense of accomplishment of "my wife is awesome".

This is really not a filter produced because of intimacy.

Li Qinglian herself is an intelligent girl, and she was born in a wealthy family and received a good education.Whether it is culture class or art class, the talents she shows are beyond the reach of most people in their lifetime.

Although her fate was rough, her charm was not damaged in the slightest.

The biggest change was just adding a bit of charm to her clear and pure smile.

In Nansi's heart, the three mothers and daughters of the Li family represent three beauties of different styles.

Mrs. Li is the kind of traditional woman who is intellectually gentle and weak like water. She has a relatively independent personality and tends to be very dependent on the man in charge. For example, she is very dependent on Nance now, and regards Nance as her backbone.

As for the little daughter, a very cute and interesting child.She is surprisingly beautiful, but also surprisingly difficult to get along with. She is a social misfit, rebellious, and a little confused.Always with a look of disdain, like a little hedgehog, a magical species that cannot be approached by people.But under the thorns, she is still a girl full of aura, and her perfect appearance even makes people automatically interpret her temper as neutral words such as "upright" or "outspoken".

As for Li Qinglian...

There is no doubt that she is the perfect woman who neutralizes the advantages of her mother and sister while discarding their shortcomings.

She not only has the intellectual, gentle and clear personality of her mother, but also has the weird aura and delicate thoughts of her younger sister.At the same time, she is younger and more energetic than her mother, more stable and more mature than her younger sister...

Not only Nance thought she was good, but even Miss Adjutant, who had only been with her for a few days, was full of praise for her.

Two women of about the same age live together, and it is inevitable to meet each other.Although it's not enough to dig out your heart and soul when you come up, the occasional gossip and work together are enough to figure out a person's personality.

Li Qinglian has a super-developed artistic cell, and is a well-informed young lady.Talking casually with Tokisaki, he can talk about any topic, and he can also have his own unique insights, which makes Tokisaki listen with gusto.

Also...

Li Qinglian's aesthetic level is also unique.

Tokisaki has a lot of admiration for her in terms of outfits and makeup.After all, Kozaki grew up in a monastery, and she has lived a quiet life since she was a child. The colorful world in fashion magazines and TV commercials is still a bit far away for her.With Li Qinglian's extremely high emotional intelligence, the relationship between the two women has progressed rapidly, and they have reached the level of good girlfriends who would go shopping together and do nails together.

I just don't know how to divide Nance in the future...

Could it be that the knife was cut from the middle, and the larger part was given to Tokisaki who came first... Tsk, it's so bloody!
Nance shook his head, dispelling the terrifying picture of Shura field in his mind.

After finishing his work, he looked sideways to the window.

It was almost noon at this time, and the weak winter sun became brighter.The woman sitting by the window was wearing a pure white dress, with black hair hanging down her waist, shining brightly in the sunlight.

I don't know when she took off her shoes and socks.

Two white slender feet fiddled gently in the sunlight, and matched with the lingering music she hummed, it gave people the feeling that she was integrated with the sunshine.

Nance watched and moved his chair over.

Li Qinglian shrank her feet subconsciously, turned her head to look at him, and then laughed.She leaned over and lay on Nance's lap, holding a notebook and drawing.

Nance thought to himself that his sister was already asleep anyway, so he put down one hand and put it into his sister's collar.

"Actually, I think you can be bolder..." Li Qinglian didn't resist, but just covered his hand with one hand, then squinted her eyes, and covered her face with the notebook.

"What do you mean being bolder?" Nance hugged her up.

Under the fluffy white lace skirt, Li Qinglian gently curled up her little feet, and said softly: "There is no one around."

Nance put her on the table and pointed to a small pink head next to her: "Isn't this a human?"

Li Qinglian looked at him with clear eyes: "She is not an outsider."

Nance laughed uncontrollably, looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, of course you can't be considered an outsider."

"Don't say such things against your will." Li Qinglian's eyes were serious, and there was a warm breath on his reddish cheeks, "What kind of attitude Qingxian has towards you, I can't escape my eyes. As for you, I can't tell. Say Maybe one day when you are lustful and Muai, or when you become vain, you will take both of us sisters into the house."

Nance did not refute this, and put his arms around her neck.

The intimate atmosphere made Li Qinglian tilt his head slightly, and rubbed Nance's cheek.Then he complained to him in a reproachful tone: "It's really bad for you to do something to my sister under her nose."

"Who told me to be bold?" Nance asked.

Li Qinglian leaned over and said witty words: "Okay, I shouldn't. To express my apology, I allow you to keep me and Qingxian in the room."

"Really?"

"What do you think?"

"...I think it's better to ask my sister's opinion."

In the bright light, Li Qinglian put his arms around his shoulders and narrowed his eyes comfortably in his arms.Nance put one arm around her slender waist, and the other hand grabbed her smooth little feet under the skirt.

The warm and simple man and woman hugged each other intimately, and the shadow left on the ground by the younger sister saw it all.

Is getting along with adults always boring and boring... The shadow complained, and then looked at the main body with irony, thinking, girl, if you don't work harder, you will become the biggest loser.Really, you are usually so smart, but why you are so stupid at the critical moment, do you count on the shadow to help you fall in love...
