After Song Heishou and Zhang Zhishang were buried in a pit dug by District Chief Lu, the Song and Zhang families suffered a secret loss. Although their vitality was not injured, they were still somewhat injured. Coupled with the energy behind District Chief Lu, they had no chance to retaliate, so they had to temporarily suppress their thoughts and turn to keeping grudges with their enemies.
However, the reason why a family is called a family is that it has a large number of people. There are many direct descendants and branches, which can fill a villa during the New Year gatherings. When there are many people, they may not all be of the same mind, and it is understandable that they all think about their own interests.
Because of their interests, the direct line tacitly regarded Song Heishou as a discarded son. District Chief Lu promptly extended an olive branch. A consensus was reached for a while, and both parties were very harmonious.
If you use the family’s resources, you have to make sacrifices for the interests of the family. There are people taking care of the family, and Song Heishou himself doesn’t suffer much, so what can he complain about? The people who made this decision took it for granted, but there were always people who didn’t think so.
Such as Song En, such as Sun Ci, such as Zhang Ming.
These three people are Song Heishou’s son, Zhang Zhishang’s mother, and Zhang Zhishang’s grandfather. They were dissatisfied that their relatives were treated as abandoned children, but they did not dare to fight against the family, so they could only vent their resentment on Lin Nuo.
Yes, until now they do not believe that Lin Nuo is the master of purification. Instead, like District Chief Lu, they firmly believe that she was just lucky enough to find a purchase channel. The Master of Purification is not a thorn tomato on the street. How could she just pop up randomly? Such a rare talent. How could he stay in the Desolate Star and sell tomatoes? She would have already enjoyed everything she deserves.
Zhang Ming himself is a purifier, but after being promoted to the intermediate level at the age of 40, he has been stagnant for more than 20 years. He has not yet reached the threshold of a senior purifier. Even so, in the desolate star where talents are withering, he still holds a firm seat in the association and has a great say.
Song En’s qualifications are not good. He has only awakened a little talent as a purifier. He is barely an apprentice. He is not even qualified to be a junior. In theory, it is impossible to be named in the association alone. But with the help of his in-law Zhang Ming, he not only squeezed in, but also got the title of junior purifier, and openly received benefits every month.
As long as he talks sweetly and is attentive, Zhang Ming can help him solve his monthly obligations. As time goes by, Song En almost forgets his true level and thinks that he is a genuine junior purifier.
This time when he heard that Lin Nuo was coming to the Purifier Association for testing, Zhang Ming wanted to give Lin Nuo a slap in the face, and then try to get her to become an apprentice under him. With his identity, he would humiliate and torture others as much as he wanted.
…
Following the person who led the way, Lin Nuo and Gu Han got on the scooter and walked inside while looking at the scenery along the way. May be because it was the headquarters of the Purifier Association, except for the large fountain facing the door, there is not much man-made landscape. Instead, many plants are planted on both sides. Judging from the fences and signs, it seems that the purpose is not just for viewing.
“We have collected almost all kinds of plants here, as long as they can be grown.” The person who led the way saw that Lin Nuo was interested in these and immediately explained to her, with a strong sense of pride in his words, “These are more ornamental. The real nurseries are in the back yard. After you officially register here, you can visit them whenever you want.”
Lin Nuo nodded and asked casually: “Then I want to use it in the future. Yes, is this the output okay?”
The man replied: “Yes, don’t worry, our output is huge, it will definitely be enough.”
“I’ll be relieved then.”
With a deep smile, Lin Nuo stopped talking and continued to move forward. The guide was startled, but then he felt that he was thinking too much. Tens of thousands of kilograms of various fruits and vegetables can be produced every month, so there is no way there is not enough.
Lin Nuo: Haha.
A few minutes later, the three of them arrived in front of the main building of the Purifier Association, got off the scooter, and the guide led Lin Nuo and Gu Han directly in. The atmosphere inside was not lively, it could even be said to be deserted.
There are not many people with purification powers. Most of those who have the conditions have gone to other planets. The only ones left here are two or three kittens. Even intermediate purifiers like Zhang Ming can take the lead, with average quality. It can be seen.
Several office windows are deserted, and the staff behind the counter are either brushing off on their light brains or sleeping on their stomachs. They are listless, which makes people lose their energy just by looking at them.
Only one window is still working normally. There are men and women queuing up, but the average age is not very old. They all look nervous, and some of them are mumbling something, as if they are waiting for their fate to make a decision.
“Please look over there, the association’s testing window.” The guide said to Lin Nuo, pointing to a few people in line, “Some people are here to test whether they have the qualifications to be purifiers, and some are apprentices who have been practicing for a while and want to see if they have advanced.”
Lin Nuo understood and nodded without saying anything. Gu Han took the lead and asked, “Does my lady also need to queue up?”
The guide quickly shook his head: “Of course Miss Lin doesn’t have to go with them, please. Come with me, the president has prepared a special room just for you.”
“Who said no?” an old voice suddenly sounded, followed by a serious old man who walked in with his hands behind his back and glanced at Lin Nuo with disdain. “The Purifier Association is a fair and just place. Everyone must be tested here in an upright and upright manner – a special room? Could it be used for the back door?”
The deliberately protracted voice continued. With concealed doubts, Zhang Ming’s speech attracted the attention of everyone in the room. The people in the queue didn’t know Lin Nuo’s identity, but they couldn’t help but whisper about it.
“That’s right, why are everyone queuing up here, except her.”
“Why, she’s beautiful, no one among us can compare to her.”
“That’s not the case, haven’t you heard that it was arranged by the president? Is she a relative?”
“Anyway, if she has real ability, why doesn’t she line up?”
“Shh… keep your voice down, what if there is a quota limit for this promotion, and what if we are deliberately crossed out?
“Yes, yes, I won’t say it anymore.”
“Why don’t you say it? Even if she has a strong background and lacks ability, she can’t squeeze someone else’s spot. According to me, just become an apprentice and get some benefits. Why bother.”
“Throwing yourself into the fire – don’t you think so, Miss Lin?”
The person who said this was Song En. After Lin Nuo left, he took a shortcut and went directly to meet Zhang Ming and explained in detail what had just happened. Then he followed behind and walked in, in order to avenge Lin Nuo’s words just now.
Gu Han calmly took half a step forward, just enough to block the other party’s unkind look at Lin Nuo. Lin Nuo answered the words too quickly before, and he was unable to put it to use. Now he finally caught a chance to make up for his mistakes. Naturally, he didn’t Will let it go easily.
“I don’t dare to say whether my lady has a backing, but when it comes to ability, she is definitely better than everyone here. Using a special room is originally my lady’s goodwill, and she doesn’t want to overly harm you, but since you don’t I appreciate it—”
Gu Han shook his head regretfully, slightly lowering his eyelids and looking at a place three steps in front of him. Just when everyone thought he would compromise and say something like, “Then let’s test it here,” Gu Han raised his eyelids, a mocking arc on his lips, and stared at Song En’s face. Turning around, he moved to Zhang Ming’s side again, stared at him and spoke slowly.
“There’s nothing I can do about it, I can only accept it – who makes my young lady so capable and qualified to show off? If you happy or not, willing or unwilling, what does that have to do with my young lady?”
Come on, keep arguing, that’s it. I like your look of being disgusted but helpless.
Lin Nuo stood diagonally behind Gu Han. She couldn’t help but lower her head and cover the corners of her lips with her hands. She almost burst into laughter without holding it back. Sure enough, it was the right choice to leave the quarrel to Gu Han. Is this the case? The more people help me, the more inscrutable I become. If I always show up personally, I will be said to be undervalued.
As expected, Song En refused to give up, he wanted to further provoke Lin Nuo. It would be best to provoke the other party to agree to conduct the test in public, and completely cut off her path to becoming a purifier.
The difficulty of dealing with ordinary people is different from that of dealing with purifiers. As for Gu Han’s aggressive appearance now, Song En attributed it to a fierce appearance and a soft heart. He is not one of those guys who can be easily fooled, and he will never be fooled by this kind of thing.
“Are you actually afraid?” Song En regarded Gu Han’s disdain as a sign of guilty conscience and pressed forward step by step, “You dare not conduct the test in public. Who can guarantee that the results will be true? As a member of the association, I don’t want a guy who is not as powerful as me to have a higher status than me.”
What he said was also heard by the staff at the window. He couldn’t help but curl his lips, how dare he say that to others? Aren’t you the one who came to the top through the back door? You really think that everyone is the same as you.
However, thinking about it, they had no intention of getting involved in this kind of dispute. It would be much happier to stand on the shore and watch the excitement than to do it themselves. There should be thorn tomato juice at this time.
……Huh? Thorn tomato juice!
Some people who went to the store to buy in person discovered that Lin Nuo was the small boss at that time, but her demeanor was completely different. Can changing clothes make such a big difference? I was a little confused, but after exchanging glances with her, he was sure that Lin Nuo was indeed the little boss herself.
Hey, it’s really exciting this time, the little boss will win for sure. Thinking of the smell of fruit purified by Lin Nuo, his saliva was about to overflow…
He swallowed his saliva at the same time with a “Gulu” sound. The staff who had bought Lin Nuo’s products at the counter stood up at the same time, startling the people next to him.
But before they could cheer for Lin Nuo and show their support, they heard another familiar voice coming from the door.
“Does anyone think that special testing is unfair? Okay, then gather all the people who want to be tested here and have a group project – you, yes, that’s you. I remember you are also the purifier of the association, and you are still a junior. Then let’s do the test together.”
The president of the Purifiers Association walked in slowly, the same person who had met Lin Nuo before and helped Bai Rui perform a physical examination.
Behind him was the entire team negotiating with Gu Han, including Lao Tao.
It’s really lively now, Lin Nuo thought, standing aside like an outsider, quietly waiting for the subsequent development of things.
