Chapter 41 Strange Brothers
Wenren was promoted to a villa.
In the hall, Wen Rensheng lowered his head and looked at a laptop placed on the coffee table.
Zhang Yi just transferred a WPS document to his computer using a USB flash drive.
It can be seen that he has done a lot of tidying up in the past year and a half.
It contains information about his brother before his disappearance. His name is Zhang Rong, his age is 32 years old, and he works as a blast furnace operator in No. 32 of Wuse Group Steelmaking Plant, with a monthly salary of 13,000 yuan.
If you put aside the hard work and danger, this is a pretty good salary level among many common industries in China.
In this world, China is truly a vast land with abundant resources. Although it still has a population of 1.4 billion, its area is more than double that of his previous life.
As a result, the average price of goods is much lower than in his previous life, especially for food - staple grains such as wheat and rice are exported in large quantities every year for 50 to 8 yuan per pound. There has been no price increase in more than ten years.
However, housing prices in big cities are higher than in his previous life. For example, in cities like Dongshui City, the average housing price is more than 20,000, and it is rising year by year.
Wen Rensheng knew this very well. This was the result of the mysterious realm being mixed in.
Only big cities can allocate and attract mysterious experts to station themselves. The sense of security alone is enough to attract newly middle-class families to buy houses in big cities and become the underpinning of housing prices.
The Inspection Department's ability to directly handle mysterious incidents can only reach the county level.
That is, if a mysterious incident occurs in a township, the township does not have the ability to deal with it. The county inspection department must be notified to send someone to solve it.
The parents of the Zhang family used the 3 million solitary money received after the death of brother Zhang Yi to buy a house for him in the county, arranged for him to work in a stable public institution, and bought two sets of storefronts. For rent.
Originally, if everything continued and remained stable for twenty years, a middle-class family would be born.
But Zhang Yi's stubbornness made all of this abandoned. I wonder if the other party will regret it after knowing the truth?
After Wen Rensheng saw it, with Zhang Yi's expectant eyes, he took out his mobile phone and started to make a call.
After just two rings, the phone was connected, and a hearty middle-aged man laughed from the other side.
"It's Mr. Wenren. Congratulations on successfully passing the selection of the judges. It seems that He and Li were right. They are really formidable. Sure enough, ginger is still hotter when he is old." This voice clearly belongs to Xu Qingshu. .
"Mr. Xu, thank you. I have something to do here, and I would like to ask Mr. Xu for help." Wen Rensheng said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhang Yi's face changed slightly: "Mr. Xu" the other party is calling. Who is that "Mr. Xu"?
He pretended not to care, but in fact he tilted his ears and tried his best to hear the voice on the microphone clearly.
But he is not a mutant, how can he hear clearly? Wen Rensheng was not using a copycat phone, but a high-security mobile phone specially provided by the Inspection Department.
"It is my honor, Xu Qingshu, to serve Mr. Wenren. How can I call it trouble? Just say so." Xu Qingshu was very polite.
"That's right, I want to check the whereabouts of a person..." Wen Rensheng said slowly.
Zhang Yi couldn't hear the voice on the microphone clearly, but just from what Wen Rensheng said, he guessed that he was asking this "Mr. Xu" to help find his brother.
He suddenly felt grateful. He did not expect that the other party was such an enthusiastic person, so he began to use his personal connections to help. This was the alien's personal connections, and it was definitely not something that could be solved with just a few hundred thousand.
But as he listened, he felt something was wrong, "Mr. Xu"?
Apart from the leader of the Five Color Group that he wanted to investigate, who else, Mr. Xu, could be talked to by such a big shot as Wen Rensheng in such a polite tone?
Zhang Yi suddenly became vigilant and subconsciously looked towards the exit of the hall, thinking of a terrifying possibility.
Thrown himself into a trap...
No wonder Mingming had dropped newspapers at his house while repairing water pipes in a nearby villa, but the other party didn't react at all.
They are the same species!
At this moment, Wen Rensheng suddenly said: "Well, then I will let him..."
Zhang Yi immediately kicked out, pushed open the hall door, and ran away!
He remembered clearly that there was a patrol station station nearby, as well as an ordinary patrol station.
It only takes 5 minutes to get there!
However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped.
He looked inexplicably horrified. It turned out that Wen Rensheng had been standing outside the courtyard waiting for him at some point.
"It's broad daylight now, don't mess around! I'll call someone!" Zhang Yi instinctively stepped back.
His face at this time was full of panic, but it was not as calm as before when he was facing Zhao Han.
He couldn't tell the difference between darkness and darkness at all for the person in front of him. He even suspected that some of the information he had found before was just a disguise. "Mr. Zhang seems to be very anxious. Forget it, although I always hate working overtime, after all, this matter has something to do with me, so it's better to settle down as soon as possible." Wen Rensheng said, reaching out his right hand and holding down Zhang Yi shoulders.
Zhang Yi subconsciously wanted to scream, but even greater fear came to his mind.
Because he found that his body did not obey the command at all, just like a dog seeing a tiger, only the instinct of trembling was left!
It wasn't until the third person's voice appeared that he could regain some consciousness.
"Master, are you going out so late?" Li Shuangyue walked over, opened the door of the blue and black car, got in and started the car.
"Well, it just so happens that the judges have been selected. Let's settle the matter early. I don't want to be called away again when I'm working overtime." Wen Rensheng said casually, grabbing the trembling Zhang Yi, He was pushed and hugged and thrown into the back seat of the car.
It’s over.
This must be the scene depicted in many mysterious dramas, where powerful and strange aliens, wealthy locals... all work together to murder good people!
In the midst of Zhang Yi's rich inner drama, the car started.
The silver-white courtyard gate fence senses the approach of the car and retracts to one side, and the car then leaves the villa.
Zhang Yi stared at the direction of the car. He did not leave the villa area, but drove towards a mountain range further south.
Yes, that area is the wealthy area of Dongshui City, and the area below is the residential area for aliens.
However, his shoulders were held down by the other party and he could not move at all. He could only watch the car slowly drive towards the rich area.
People are knives and soldiers, and I am fish and meat.
These 8 words came to his mind.
…………
Half an hour later, Xu Qingshu’s villa, somewhere in the basement.
"Brother?"
Zhang Yi couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed them hard, and then looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who looked like him but was much older.
"Xiao Yi? How did you find yourself here? Didn't you send the three million to your home?" The middle-aged man was even more surprised, with some annoyance in his tone.
"All the money has been sent, but I, I can't live without my eldest brother!" Zhang Yi heard the other party's voice and the care and sincerity that could never be disguised. He had no doubts at the moment and pounced past.
Zhang Rong's face was complicated when he heard this, and he hugged his brother tightly in his arms.
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect..." He couldn't help but shed tears and murmured to himself, "I'm so stupid, really, I just thought that my parents would only favor you. I thought that as long as I gave you money, you You will soon forget about me and continue to live as before. Anyway, you will continue the family lineage of the old Zhang family. I didn’t expect that you would still be as stupid as you were when you were a child..."
"Brother, let’s go back to our hometown. Let's make some money and pay it to them." Zhang Yi looked up and looked at his brother who looked like he was in his forties and had a rough face, and couldn't help but persuade him. .
"No, no!" Zhang Rong pushed him, held his shoulders firmly, stared into his eyes and said:
"This opportunity is for Boss Xu Give it to me. There are so many people in the factory, but I was selected, which shows that I have some qualifications. I don’t want to sweat like rain every day, and I don’t want the descendants of our Zhang family to live the same life as us!"
“However, the two of us can still provide for our children to go to school. I am also a college student. If I can tutor them, they will definitely learn better than me, go to a first-class university, continue their studies, study for a Ph.D., the same I can have a future," Zhang Yi said with all his strength.
He had checked many things and knew that the world of aliens was definitely not that simple. Luck, qualifications, character, connections... there are too many uncertain factors.
In comparison, in terms of academics, as long as you are willing to endure hardship and have an online IQ... you can guarantee a basic future, at least a middle-income guarantee, and you will not become a homeless person assigned to border development.
The key is that there is almost no risk. The biggest risk is whether the parents can educate him, but he is still somewhat confident about this.
"Go to school?" Zhang Rong was stunned for a moment, as if hesitating, but then shook his head and whispered, "No, I can't let my future son do what I can't do. Done. I don’t want him to be like me again, when I was in school, unable to hold my head high in front of the girl I liked, and could only have a humble crush on her... How old will it be after graduation if he can finish his PhD in America? , I can’t just take out a loan to buy a house and spend my whole life looking for a mediocre woman!”
Then his voice became louder again: “But now I have this opportunity, as long as I, as long as I become a mutant now, Everything will change. Even if you only have it temporarily, you can still enter the edge of that world. From now on, our entire Zhang family will be completely different.”
Zhang Yi shook his head and looked at his brother, a complete stranger.
For the first time, he discovered that he didn't know his brother very well. He didn't know what the other brother was like when he was in school, let alone what the other brother was like when he was working. He didn't even know what the other brother wanted.
He only knew that his expenses from high school to college were all earned by his brother working part-time after graduating from technical secondary school, which allowed him to live a decent life in front of other classmates.
