Chapter 212 Demolition

Updated: 2013-06-21

Recently, Lin Tao has been busy with opening a store.The construction team recruited by Zhao Ke was quite reliable. After the blueprints were made, Guo Yiling made several changes and started to renovate.

As construction started here, Zhao Ke's coffee shop would naturally not be able to open. The sound of the cutting machine was so loud that people couldn't calm down and have a drink.

Zhao Ke didn't care, so he simply closed the shop and took Guixiang to travel. For him, this was a rare vacation.

Soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Ke finally came back, his whole body was charcoal black, and he probably couldn't find out where he was after falling into the coal pile.Gui Xiang had a sweet face, Lin Tao realized after asking, that she was pregnant.

This was a happy event, Zhao Ke specially invited Lin Tao and Guo Yiling to have a meal together for this reason, the whole person was very happy.

However, it was difficult for Guixiang's family to accept it. After all, she was pregnant out of marriage, so it's not nice to say it.

Both Zhao Ke and Gui Xiang are considered avant-garde in their thinking. Since it is too late to prepare for the wedding, they simply give birth to the child and wait for Gui Xiang to recover before taking wedding photos and making up for the wedding.

Guo Yiling was very envious, but she also knew that she and Lin Tao were still on the rise in their careers. If the wedding was held now, I'm afraid the whole person's energy would be slackened, and she would not be willing to work on her career.

In the past few days, Lin Tao is busy with the final acceptance of the storefront.I really don’t know if I haven’t done decoration before, but I just realized how tiring it is. Although the boss of the construction team is very familiar with Zhao Ke, his subordinates are not. It is to use less materials, and secretly sell the rest for some extra money.

The whole renovation took nearly 40 days, and Lin Tao followed him all the time, and found out several times that this group of people refused to change after repeated admonitions, and even quit.

Lin Tao didn't bully them, but he just asked Xiaopi to scare the leader, and then he gave some sweet dates to eat, and then he stopped completely.

These engineering workers spend all year in the city. What they are most afraid of are local hooligans and hooligans, and the police are not easy to use.If Lin Tao hadn't wanted to finish the work earlier, he wouldn't have asked Xiaopi for help. Besides, he hadn't spared the time to thank Mr. Tao's subordinates for helping him catch Boss Tao last time. Thanks for the meal.

Lin Tao was instructing the workers to change the decoration of the corner, and received a call from Zhao Xiahong, saying that he would invite him to shoot a public service advertisement.

"Director Zhao, aren't you an advertisement director? Why do you also do public service advertisements?"

"Commercial advertisements are advertisements, and public service advertisements are also advertisements, so I can't shoot them?" Zhao Xiahong said with contempt, "Just say you agree or disagree, why are there so many nonsense!"

"I have to think about it. You know that I am preparing the list of people. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to be on camera at this time?" Lin Tao expressed his concern.

The list of good people is a rare opportunity for him, and he must firmly grasp it without any mistakes.

"I asked before, whether it is a public service advertisement or a love public service advertisement, there is no problem. This advertisement is related to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the purpose is to promote the family value of family happiness. Isn't it a good opportunity for you to appear on the camera?" Zhao Xiahong patiently Persuaded, "Don't worry, I know you value the list of good people very much, and I will definitely not cheat you."

Lin Tao was still hesitating, Zhao Xiahong was unhappy, and said: "Why, old friends are willing to help you?"

Lin Tao laughed, this guy's temper is still so bad, thinking that since it is a public service advertisement, it should only have a positive publicity effect on himself, and should not have negative effects, so he agreed.

Zhao Xiahong said: "As for the remuneration, it won't be very high. After all, it's a public service advertisement, so you can make do with it."

Lin Tao said: "I don't want the reward, but you have to find a way to publicize this matter to me, either by making an announcement in the media, or donating it in my name."

"Donated!" Zhao Xiahong thought for a while, "Originally, the purpose of filming commercials is to promote public welfare, and the compensation will definitely not be much. If the announcement says no, it will make others feel that you are suspected of acting on the show."

"How to donate?"

Zhao Xiahong said: "Donate in the name of all. No one will be paid. It's all for public welfare. It's also a hype. What do you think?"

"I just want facts, not hype." Lin Tao just wanted to make himself more confident when competing for the representative of the East China Sea, rather than simply wanting to be famous.

"I understand, let me handle this matter, and make sure it will be done properly."

Now that Zhao Xiahong has made such a promise, Lin Tao has nothing to worry about, and said: "Then it's settled, and we will contact you when we shoot."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tao continued to check and accept the storefront. The overall decoration cost more than 10 yuan, which is not a lot, but the construction team is quite good, making the whole store look very refreshing. At least standing in the store does not feel bad. It's comfortable, unlike some stores, which make people feel uncomfortable as soon as they enter, and they don't want to stay for an extra minute.

Seeing that the workers rectified according to their own opinions, Lin Tao paid the final payment to the workers in cash, and the decoration was considered to be completely over.

After the workers left, Lin Tao suddenly had a surge of pride in his heart. He finally had a career of his own. How could it make people unhappy!

In fact, one-third of the store is not that big. There are only 8 tables with two to three chairs, and then there is the counter, and inside is the most important sweet potato oven.

According to Ma Zhiqiang's request, Lin Tao made the positions of three large ovens, and they can be placed on them only after the old man makes the ovens himself.

Thinking of Ma Zhiqiang, Lin Tao suddenly thought of something. The two hadn't been in touch for a while. Last time, they asked about the demolition payment and said they were still discussing it. I don't know how it is now.

He took out his phone and dialed, but no one answered after ringing for a long time.

Lin Tao subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Ma Zhiqiang always answered the phone very quickly, but this time he called several times and failed to answer, which seemed strange.

"There must be something wrong!"

Lin Tao couldn't sit still anymore. Apart from the fact that the old man was an important "technical consultant", the two had a good personal relationship. If something happened to him, he would definitely not stand idly by.What's more, Ma Zhiqiang is still a widowed old man, which makes Lin Tao think of Grandma Xu, which is even more worthy of sympathy.

After locking the store door, Lin Tao drove to Ma Zhiqiang's house.Guo Yiling's car has almost become his special car now. He has been a driver for a long time, and he has to pick him up and go to and from get off work.Now the company knows about the relationship between the two of them throughout the early morning. Chen Rong was still thinking about it last time. It's really embarrassing to hide it for so long before announcing it.

There were rumbling noises in the village, and from time to time a Tatra truck drove out from the narrow path inside. It was scary to watch. Fortunately, the driver was good at it. If the steering wheel was not stable, he had to rush directly to the villagers' homes.

Cranes, forklifts, bulldozers...

If Lin Tao had never been here before, he would have mistakenly thought it was a construction site.

In the village, apart from the rumbling of machines, there was no human voice at all. Lin Tao felt strange. Could it be that the whole village signed the demolition-relocation agreement?

A truck stopped, and the driver, a black-faced man, jumped out of the car and asked with a thick Northeast accent, "Big brother, is there a fire? Borrow one!"

Lin Tao doesn't smoke, but cigarettes and lighters are always kept in the car for emergencies.

Taking out Zhonghua and zippo lighters from the glove box, Lin Tao handed one over, flicked his right hand, and the lighters ignited.

The black-faced man grinned happily, Zhonghua is a good cigarette, he works hard, and although he earns a lot of money, he is reluctant to buy a box, and it is not easy to smoke one during the holidays.

"Thank you, big brother!" He took a puff beautifully, the smoke reached the inside of his lungs, and then spit it out frequently, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Zhonghua is so easy to smoke!" He laughed.

Lin Tao handed over a pack of cigarettes. The market price of this kind of high-quality soft China is more than 100 packs. The black-faced man knew that he must have something to ask himself, so he accepted it politely.After spending so long at the construction site, if you can't even see this, you might as well just dig a hole and bury yourself.

The cannibal has a short mouth and is soft on others. Before Lin Tao could ask a question, the dark-faced man said, "Brother, come here to find someone?"

"A relative lives here, and was thinking of coming to see, who would have imagined this!" Lin Tao secretly praised him for going on the road.

"Hey, you are late, everyone in the village has signed the agreement, and this village will cease to exist from tomorrow!" said the black-faced man.

"So fast?" Lin Tao was slightly surprised, "A few days ago, my relatives called and said that the compensation for the demolition-relocation is not enough, and they don't plan to move!"

The black-faced man took a deep puff of his cigarette, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Brother, don't tell me that your relatives are one of the few nail households in the village!"

"How?" Lin Tao asked without answering.

"I won't go into the details. Anyway, some people in the village who don't want to sign the agreement are all hospitalized. It is said that the demolition-relocation company found the underworld. It doesn't count to send people to the hospital. It seems that they have to be forced to sign the agreement. Even if you don't sign it, it will be demolished tonight!" The black-faced man said with a look of "you understand", "Tomorrow morning, this place will be in ruins!"

Lin Tao said calmly: "It's not so violent. Didn't it mean that this is the expansion project of the high-tech zone? It should be a project under the jurisdiction of the government. How can it involve the underworld?" When he asked this, he was almost Like a stunned young man who has just entered society.

The black-faced man smacked his mouth and said, "Big brother, I didn't mean you. Go back and look through the newspapers. Look at the demolition-relocation news everywhere. Which one doesn't involve the underworld?"

Lin Tao asked again: "I couldn't get in touch with my relatives, so I guess they were hospitalized too. Do you know which hospital they were sent to?"

"It's in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Medical University in the high-tech zone." The black-faced man was straightforward, but he didn't hide anything.

Lin Tao nodded, handed over the lighter in his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, buddy!"

The black-faced man refused again and again, saying, "That's so embarrassing!"

"Here, you're welcome!" Lin Tao stuffed the lighter into his hand, turned around and got into the car.

Driving away from the village, Lin Tao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he hoped that Ma Zhiqiang would be fine!
