Junbei Heshan Cemetery.

Rows of tombstones looked silent and solemn. Lin Tao stood in front of Granny Xu's tombstone with a white chrysanthemum in his hand, staring blankly at the photo of grandma smiling, and suddenly felt a sore nose.

"Grandma, I'm here to see you!"

Lin Tao knelt on the ground with one knee, placed the cakes and fruits he brought with him in front of the tombstone, and wiped the tombstone clean with a clean towel.

"I sent Zhou Guangcai here, and I may spend a long time in prison. I hope you don't blame me!" Lin Tao said to himself, "And your unfilial daughter was also fooled by me, so I can help you teach them a lesson. one time!"

"I'm amazing now, and I'm no longer the same Lin Tao as before. If you're still alive, you'll be amazed." Lin Tao took apart the chrysanthemums and placed them one by one in front of the tombstone.

"I will do good things with the money you left me, and I will never let you down! The breakfast shop will also continue to open and never close!" Lin Tao touched the photo on the tombstone, "Don't worry, I have Now that I have a girlfriend, everything will be fine, but it's a pity that you are gone, otherwise I will really have the opportunity to enjoy what is called a family relationship, what Zhou Guangcai and Zhou Guangyun can't bring to you, I can give you!"

Speaking of this, Lin Tao finally couldn't hold back, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He was not showing off, but showing his true feelings. After the death of his adoptive parents, only his grandmother made him feel what family affection is again.Especially when grandma insisted on cooking a meal for herself at the last moment of her life, watching her eat it, the relationship between relatives, grandparents and grandchildren is nothing more than that.

Lin Tao wiped the tombstone clean, stood up again, and said, "Grandma, if there is a soul in the sky, just watch me grow up and succeed step by step. Don't worry, I will come to see you when I have time."

Suddenly a gust of wind blew from behind, cool and whizzing, with a little bit of chill, goose bumps suddenly appeared on Lin Tao's body.

"Grandma, is that you?"

Lin Tao turned around, but there was nothing. At that moment just now, the strong will brought by the breeze made his grandma's appearance subconsciously flash in his mind.

"Grandma, you heard that, yes!"

Lin Tao looked down at Grandma Xu's photo and murmured, "I understand!"

Coming out of the cemetery, Lin Tao drove to Zhao Ke's coffee shop, discussed with him the issue of dividing the store, and finally decided that he would use the left third of the store.Zhao Ke said that there was a construction team he was familiar with, and Lin Tao of course asked him for help, so that he would save trouble.

Zhao Ke didn't say anything to Lin Tao, so he called to confirm it on the spot. The foreman is a bit busy now, and he will take the initiative to contact Lin Tao later to discuss the renovation of the store.

The store was finalized, and Lin Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been busy with trivial matters before, running around here and there, and he couldn't calm down to do things.

Next, Lin Tao went to Ma Zhiqiang again. After talking about the store problem, it was time to talk to this "expert" about roasted sweet potatoes.

It was still a small cart with an oven on it. Ma Zhiqiang was sitting on the ponytail next to him. He didn't seem to be in a very high mood. When he saw Lin Tao coming, he just greeted him briefly.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Ma Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm not feeling well."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Lin Tao said immediately, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to the hospital!" The old man is getting old, and his body is the most prone to problems. Well, a check is a big problem.

"No, I know it!"

Ma Zhiqiang forced a smile, Lin Tao saw that his expression was okay, but his mood was not very good, so he couldn't help asking: "Master, are you sick?"

Ma Zhiqiang was taken aback, and asked, "How do you know?"

Lin Tao laughed and said, "Of course I know!" In fact, he didn't know, it was just a wild guess.

"Hey……"

Ma Zhiqiang sighed, shook his head, smoked, but refused to say anything.

Lin Tao didn't urge him, that's how people are, when he doesn't want to talk, it's useless to ask, and when he wants to talk, he can't stop it.

Since he didn't want to talk about himself, Lin Tao said the important things first.

As soon as Ma Zhiqiang heard that the store was finalized, there was a smile on his face, and he said: "I didn't expect you to move very fast. I will think about it when I go back tonight and see what other facilities are needed. A homemade oven is a must. , I haven't thought of anything else yet."

Lin Tao said: "You always think about it slowly. I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, the renovation will take some time." He smiled and asked, "Now we can talk about it. What is it that makes you so unhappy?"

Ma Zhiqiang finally sighed and said, "It's going to be demolished!"

Lin Tao was delighted at once. When he went to his house before, he felt that the small village was quite dilapidated. It is a miracle that it can be preserved to this day. The high-tech zone will continue to expand and will definitely develop in that direction. Relocation is a matter of time. .

"Relocation is a good thing. The high-tech zone is so rich, so there must be a lot of compensation."

Ma Zhiqiang said with a wry smile: "It's a lot, but if the demolition office deducts it, the amount will be halved!"

Lin Tao frowned and said, "Damn, these bastards, you can get this kind of money, aren't you afraid that you won't have a butt eye when you have a baby?"

Ma Zhiqiang was amused by him, but then he sighed: "I'm not greedy for money, but I have lived in the house for so many years, and I have already had feelings for it. I responded to the government's demolition and demolished it. I can't give so little. I accept it in my heart." No!" After a pause, he continued, "I heard that they have people who know the demolition office, the area is smaller than my house, and they get more money than me, do you think they are just bullying me, an old man?"

Lin Tao comforted: "Isn't the key point that we have no one? But don't worry, this matter must not be compromised. If it doesn't work, it will be reported in the newspaper. I have a reporter friend, so I don't believe it. How dare this group of people have no law?"

Ma Zhiqiang nodded and said, "It's fine if it can be published in the newspaper. I'm afraid they will force-demolish it!"

Lin Tao's heart trembled, it was really the case, a gang of villains came in the middle of the night, pulled people out of the house, and the house was all bulldozed, so what?

"Master, let's think about the best. In this way, your phone will remain open at all times. If someone really dares to demolish it, just call me."

Lin Tao shouldn't have been in this muddy water, but he really couldn't stand it. This group of people have the nerve to bully a helpless old man, what a fucking bastard!

What's more, Ma Zhiqiang is still his partner. If he doesn't care about this matter, he can't bear it. After all, Lin Tao's personality is like this, and he can't bear this kind of injustice.

On the way home, Lin Tao called Zeng Chu and asked whether relevant reports could be published in newspapers. The answer was yes, but the negative impact should be minimized, especially not involving relevant party and government departments.

"Fuck, doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?" Lin Tao was furious after hearing this.

"If you're angry, don't send it to me. This matter was decided by the editor-in-chief!" Zeng Chu asked, "Is it your relative?"

"I don't have any relatives, they are my partners."

Zeng Chu said "Oh", obviously hesitating.

"If you add me, is it news?" Lin Tao asked tentatively.

"It's news even if you shit now!" Zeng Chu laughed, "However, the situation you mentioned is actually something that often happens during the normal demolition process. There is no news point, at most I will call you Call and ask, let them know that this is the case, and just give the old man more compensation."

After a pause, he continued: "However, if there is a forced demolition, it will be news. Now the country has banned forced demolitions from top to bottom, and if caught, one will be fined. If the circumstances are serious, they can be sentenced to prison! Of course More often, the house is demolished, and no one knows who demolished it, and those who are in the dark can't see anyone, so they can only suffer from being dumb."

Lin Tao said: "This loss is definitely unacceptable. As long as I am here, the forced demolition will definitely not stand!"

Zeng Chu persuaded: "Anyway, it's best to go through official channels. You have to know that those who participated in the forced demolition are all black forces, and it's very difficult to deal with!"

Lin Tao laughed, he is not afraid of the dark forces!

"By the way, I'll give you a suggestion. It's best to continue negotiating with the demolition office. It's best to get more compensation. I'll call and ask later. Even if the face doesn't work, I can always put pressure on them."

Lin Tao said, "Thank you!"

Zeng Chu said with a smile: "We were so polite before, just remember to give me a few more exclusive interviews!"

Lin Tao laughed and said, "You haven't interviewed enough? You have dug up everything about me. Could it be that you plan to also report about my previous life?"

"Celebrities, there is always not enough news! Of course, this is also the task given by the above. You are now a candidate for Junbei, but it does not mean that you can enter the list of good people steadily. You must know that there are 18 places in the East China Sea. Each city has its own candidates, and finally report to the province, and then the province decides who will represent Donghai to participate in the selection. That is to say, you are only one of the 18 candidates, but you are not in Junbei. There needs to be competition, and the other candidates need to fight each other in this city."

"Damn, isn't this a face-saving project?" Lin Tao immediately criticized.

Zeng Chu said: "It can't be regarded as a face-saving project. After all, half of the final candidates depend on public opinion. The official list of candidates is only selected."

"That's okay, black box operation or something, can it be avoided?"

"There is no place to avoid black-box operations. This is normal. It's meaningless to worry about it! What's more, you are the only candidate, so find a place to have fun."

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go secretly and keep in touch."

As soon as the phone was hung up, Guo Yiyi's phone came in, and she immediately complained, "Why did you call for so long?"

Lin Tao said: "Mr. Ma has something to do with him, I'll call and ask."

Guo Yizhen knew that he was enthusiastic, and complaining was nothing more than acting like a baby, so she immediately put the matter aside and said, "Leave me the night time!"

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Isn't my time every night all yours?"

Guo Yiyi said coquettishly: "I hate it, I'm telling you something serious!"

Lin Tao asked in an unscrupulous manner, "Say, I'm listening!"

"There is an event tonight, you have to accompany me to attend, at Jinhui Hotel."

Lin Tao asked: "The Xiao family undertook it?"

"It's basically organized by Xiao Jinhui. It's not like you don't know, what will these people do when they're full!"

Lin Tao laughed and said, "That's really true!" Then he asked, "Does Xiao Jinhui know your identity, otherwise why would he keep in touch with you?"

Guo Yiyi said angrily: "Is it only because I am a family member that I can get people's attention? Could it be that with my hard work, it is so difficult to get people's attention?"

Lin Tao said: "Of course it doesn't mean that, but what I said is also true, don't you think so?"

"I probably don't know!" Guo Yiyi hesitated.

"Even if Xiao Jinhui doesn't know, I'm sure the Zhou family will know." Lin Tao said.

When it came to the Zhou family, Lin Tao was in a daze, as if he hadn't heard the names of Zhou Yuheng and Zhou Baiheng for a long time.At the beginning, the Zhou family suppressed him hard, but now he is not living well, but Zhou Baiheng is going to Korea for plastic surgery. Zhou Yuheng is also like a ghost, invisible but always staring at him in the dark.

Lin Tao couldn't see or know, but he could clearly sense Zhou Yuheng's existence.

"Do you want to be the mastermind behind the scenes?" Lin Tao smiled secretly, "Being the mastermind has to pay a price!"
