After I lost my job, I started to get rich from plane trading.

While Su Nianwei was listening to Bai You's reply to her, Zhu Lin was also listening to his adjutant's report to him on the situation at the station during this period.

"During this period, except for the intensive care unit where they were unconscious, they traveled to other places. This is the first time I know there are so many people in our station," the adjutant said.

As the adjutant of the resident, he certainly knew how many people there were, so saying this could be regarded as mocking these people with malicious intentions.

Zhu Lin was busy repairing the defects of the station during this period, and had no time to pay attention to these guys. Seeing that there had been no movement since the group had approached Zhu Lin before, and they did not mention which side he supported, they took the idea of ​​​​others. .

Not to mention the most likely adjutant to take over after Zhu Lin's "accident", it was the others. Anyone who could move basically received "consolations."

From the soldiers on duty to the disabled and wounded guarding the gate, they all received "warm condolences" from the noble children of this group of main stars.

It was so loud that those who knew it were condolences to the wounded, but those who didn't know it thought it was canvassing votes for the next consul election.

Moreover, it seems that because Zhu Lin has not made a choice, they are anxious. The current situation is that no matter whether that person has a chance to rise to the top, they will all go to please him.

"Aren't they here to 'consol the wounded'? Why, you're still not happy? Don't block other people's money." Zhu Lin said with a smile.

"Hey, we can't afford this 'condolence'. I'm afraid these are not 'condolence money', but our pension!" The adjutant looked sarcastic. This group of people really thought they had no brains.

This money is not that easy to get. When it was given, it was said to be "sympathy money", but if they fail to meet these people's requirements when doing things later, then their faces will not look so good.

He knew the temperament of this group of people very well, and the kindness they displayed could be revealed at a glance.

It's okay to use it to deceive newcomers who are inexperienced in the world, but they old fools won't accept this trick.

"When they were running for the election, didn't they yell at the main star day after day to improve our treatment? Didn't this give them a chance? You always have to give people a chance to perform." Zhu Lin stopped pretending at this time. Express your attitude directly.

He and the adjutant were exiled at the same time. After so many years, they are the only two people from the same group who are still alive, and the others have long since disappeared.

Compared with others, they are the comrades who can truly deliver the goods. Both of them are not bad in character, and their personalities are not weird either.

We have a good relationship after getting along for a long time, so Zhu Lin is really not polite in front of him.

Sometimes when he saw the intrigue scenes in other stations, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he had a good relationship with his adjutant and such situations would not happen.

"What on earth are you thinking? Tell me something. Those little bastards below are afraid of causing trouble for you. They look at the things delivered to you every day and want to reject them, while their eyes turn red with greed." The adjutant thought of this. For a while, a steady stream of people came to him to inquire about Lin Koufeng's subordinates, which made them laugh a little.

These people have dark eyes, but they are really generous in their actions.

Not to mention those ordinary soldiers who came from poor backgrounds, even people like the adjutant who have seen good things before, it is difficult to say that they will not be tempted when faced with these huge temptations.

What's more, they gave more than just what they had on hand, and their promises were very generous.

Of course, the real things they can give are not bad, but compared to the "cake" they draw in vain, these things are simply not worth mentioning.

Even the adjutant found some of the conditions a little unbelievable when he heard them.

He found it strange how a small border station like theirs could attract the attention of such big shots as the Prime Star.

Let them win the support here even at such a high cost. At the same time, he was also curious about what conditions these people would offer Zhu Lin if they were so generous to the people below.

"Is there anything that those guys don't dare to do?" Zhu Lin thought about the daring group of people under his command, but he didn't quite believe it.

This group of people is very courageous. When they went to the contaminated area before, they never took a step back. How come they are so timid about this kind of thing?

"Nonsense, if you get involved, no one will die, so what's the use of using those things." The adjutant said and glanced at him.

No matter how great the benefits of this kind of thing are, they are nothing compared to your own life.

Although it is not ruled out that there are people who take desperate risks for profit, the vast majority of people are still relatively rational.

But Zhu Lin could ask such a question, and he felt that Zhu Lin needed to have his eyes checked.

"These guys..." After Zhu Lin heard this, he felt like "it's true" in his heart.

It turned out that it was not for his consideration, but because he was afraid that this thing would be hot to the touch.

Sure enough, this is the real temperament of the resident, and he overthinks the rest.

"So you'd better give me an accurate word, so that we don't have to worry about it." The adjutant urged him.

As he spoke, he kicked the legs of his stool.

"Ahem, cough, cough, my throat is a little dry." Zhu Lin didn't reply, he coughed twice and pushed his cup forward.

Normally, the adjutant might have picked up the cup and thrown it away, but now that he had something to ask for, he could only pick up the cup in frustration.

"I'll pick you up right away." As he said that, he walked out.

In the station, no matter who wants to drink water, they must go to a fixed place to get it, even the highest officer like Zhu Lin is no exception.

"There is no water in the station. You can go to the water fetching place and bring back the water used by the station for the past few days." Zhu Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw that the adjutant's every move was what he expected.

Relying on the fact that the adjutant wanted something from him, he began to cause trouble for the adjutant unscrupulously.

"You've had enough! It's your turn to fetch water this time! You know how to squeeze me..." The adjutant was so angry that he jumped for a moment, but he suppressed the next words after seeing Zhu Lin's half-smiling expression.

"I thought I heard you say 'squeeze'? Huh?" Zhu Lin slowly took off his gloves and stared at his movements.

"No! No! You must have heard it wrong! I said I was! happy!" The last few words were almost spoken by the adjutant through clenched teeth.

"I'm really happy that I have such a dedicated adjutant like you. Believe me, I will tell them about your contribution to them when I visit the wounded today." Zhu Lin seemed to be in a good mood.

"You're welcome, I don't need this reputation to do my job." The adjutant said with a smile.

Tell those little brats? He doesn't know them yet?

As long as the front foot knew that he was fetching water on Zhu Lin's turn, and he went when it was Zhu Lin's turn to fetch water, he would know that he had been tricked by Zhu Lin again. He didn't want to be secretly laughed at by those little bastards.

"Well, that's a pity. However, after talking to Mr. Adjutant for so long, I seem to feel that my throat is starting to hurt." Zhu Lin pretended to sigh, as if he was sorry that he could not use the Adjutant's selfless dedication. I feel sorry for spreading the word.

"Please wait a moment, I'll be back soon." The adjutant felt that one day he would strangle this guy to death because of his mouth and take the position himself.

Tsk, looking at it this way, it’s not without reason that so many people came to him during this period and planned to conspire to kill this guy.

Sure enough, some people are hated for a reason.

Unable to regain his temper, the adjutant accepted his fate and took the container to fetch water.

Who prevented him from opening Zhu Lin's brain and seeing what he was thinking?

Speaking of which, there are actually several water sources near the station, but they can only use one.

And for the current station, it's quite far.

Therefore, fetching water is not an easy task for the residents.

But it was not like this at the beginning. When they first chose the address of the station, it was right next to a water source, so that they could use water easily. However, as the contaminated area expanded, the scope of the riots became wider and wider.

From this, the station retreated again and again, finally reaching its current position.

Although the location of the station has been moved, the previously installed water purification equipment cannot be moved away, so the water point has never been moved there. At most, the protection is constantly strengthened.

In the past, fetching water was done by soldiers on duty. Before they took up their duties, they had to fill up all the water in the station. But this time there were two consecutive riots, and there were only a few people who could move, let alone come back with so much water.

Therefore, the task of fetching water during this period fell on Zhu Lin and his adjutant.

Bringing back water for an entire resident, even with the instruments, is not an easy task.

During this time, Zhu Lin always tricked his adjutant into making bets with him, and the bet was the job of fetching water.

The adjutant realized this man's treachery after losing a few times. No matter how provocative Zhu Lin was, he stopped coming. He didn't expect that there would still be trouble waiting for him.

Originally, he didn't need to bring Zhu Lin's cup when he went to fetch water. After all, it was impossible to put the water back in a cup - he did it on purpose!

Zhu Lin is otherwise a good person, but he has a little mysophobia - for example, he only drinks water from his own cup.

Although this habit may not seem like a big deal in other places, in a place like the residence where everything is needed and there is nothing, it is incredible that it has persisted for so many years.

He knew Zhu Lin's little habit because he had seen Zhu Lin before when he went on a mission with him. He was so thirsty that the skin on his mouth was about to turn over, but he couldn't move where other people's cups were. In the end, he found a nutrient tube that he drank from and poured the water into it.

The adjutant took Zhu Lin's cup and muttered as he walked: "I won't let you drink water if I let you play tricks on me..."

It was as if doing so could relieve Zhu Lin's anger when he asked him to fetch water.

But what the adjutant didn't know was that not long after he left, Zhu Lin took out another cup from the space button, and even took out a kettle, brewed some tea in it, and took a few sips from time to time.

As for the origin of water cups, kettles and tea leaves...

This is all Mo Qinglan's credit. Unlike the situation where the adjutant witnessed Zhu Lin's mysophobia with his own eyes and no one else at the station knew about it, Mo Qinglan observed this not long after arriving at the station.

Taking advantage of the convenience of the transaction with Su Nianwei, he went along with it, gave Zhu Lin a lot of cups, and even recommended tea to him.

Zhu Lin was actually not very fond of tea at first. It is difficult for people who have been in polluted border areas for a long time to develop a good impression of plants, let alone make water from these plants and then drink it.

However, after seeing that Mo Qinglan drank these things, not only did he not have any problems, but he was in great spirits. Zhu Lin also gave it a try.

With this attempt, he was just like Mo Qinglan back then - really fragrant.

Before Mo Qinglan took the man away, he thoughtfully left a lot of tea for him, but he never took it out.

Zhu Lin himself is a person who likes to try new things, so after discovering that tea is not harmful to people, he will choose to give it a try.

But the vast majority of people in the base are not like this. They are more conservative and cannot accept something that looks similar to a polluting plant.

Under such conditions, he would definitely not take these things out.

And as a person in power, he shouldn't reveal his preferences too much.

The tea he got was from Mo Qinglan, so there was nothing wrong with it.

But if others find out, if someone wants to imitate him, but they can't get the tea leaves, they actually go and gather the leaves of the polluted plants and soak them in water to drink, and something goes wrong, he cannot bear the responsibility.

As for why it was not shared with the adjutant?

He had been drinking tea for so long, and the adjutant didn't notice at all. He deserved not to be able to drink such a thing.

Zhu Lin felt no guilt about eating alone. He didn't believe in "good things must be shared". He just felt a little happy, which should be enjoyed by one person.

Of course, he and the adjutant share weal and woe, so the pain of fetching water should be left to the adjutant.

Just let him bear the bitter taste of this tea.

The location of the water source was still a certain distance away from the station. Zhu Lin was not worried at all that the adjutant would come back early and catch him secretly drinking tea.

Even if he was caught, he had nothing to worry about. Anyway, the adjutant's curiosity had taken over now. As long as he didn't go too far, the adjutant wouldn't do anything to him.

During this period of time, he only had to deal with those difficult noble children and was busy repairing the gaps in the protective zone. He was extremely busy. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed his leisure time so quietly.

After finally having a little time, he was asked to fetch water, but he didn't want it.

Then the adjutant, as his deputy, has to do more things.

Zhu Lin still felt a little guilty because he had added a lot of workload to his old friend.

He decided that if the adjutant found out about him drinking tea and could accept tea, he could give him a little more tea.

But it’s just a little, and he won’t give more than that.
