After dealing with the debts and studio matters, Feng Yi had another good night's sleep.
But the other one didn't have such good sleep quality.
Because of Feng Yi's words, Lu Yue took the items to be tested, and waited for a whole night with extremely complicated feelings, just to wait for the test results.
Lu Yue received the call at dawn.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be hiding somewhere and speaking secretly, as if he was about to say something terrible, and his voice was very low.
"Brother Lu, have you gotten into some serious trouble?"
Lu Yue's heart sank. He knew something was wrong when he heard this.
"You tell me the result first!"
The person on the other end of the phone took a deep breath, then continued in a low voice, "It's real snake skin, most likely wild. I don't know what species it is, the leather has been processed so it's hard to compare, but it's probably a rare species.
"I used the latest instruments and test kits that the company had just introduced. It took a little longer, but luckily these instruments are only in the debugging stage recently. I was the only one on duty here at night, so I didn't dare to keep any test results. Brother Lu, how did you get this?"
Lu Yue closed his eyes fiercely, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of cruelty, and he almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Someone else gave it to me!"
The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother, you'd better stay away from those people. I heard that they are investigating a batch of wild animal skins that have entered the market recently. Considering the nature of your company, your father even said in the official news not long ago that he would respond to the country's call and use more environmentally friendly and safe materials. Now that you have been involved in this, even if you clear your name, you will still be in a lot of trouble. There are so many people waiting to find fault with you! It's not easy to build a brand, and it's not easy for you to climb to your current position. You can't get involved in such a black spot!"
"I know all this! Just deal with the operation records on your side, and I'll transfer the money to you later."
After hanging up the phone and transferring the money, Lu Yue took out his address book and sent a message to Feng Yi: "Thanks! I owe you a favor!"
…
Early in the morning, Feng Yi saw this message after he got up and smiled.
Although Lu Yue didn't show it on his face, he still took it in. Anyone who could fight their way to the current position in a large group was not a simple person.
After a polite reply, Feng Yi put the matter aside. He had an important task ahead!
It was still a little dark outside and the sun hadn't come out yet.
Feng Yi opened the glass door of the living room balcony, felt the cool morning breeze for a while, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
I cooked a plate of frozen dumplings and steamed three eggs. These are all I have in the fridge. I have been so busy lately that I haven't stocked up much.
Feng Yi took a bite of a dumpling and was thinking about something while cracking an eggshell. When he looked up, he saw a figure appearing on the balcony.
If Feng Yi hadn’t seen this figure, he would have almost forgotten that the neighborhood was plagued by rats recently!
A gray-brown mouse, slightly longer than a palm, swaggered in from outside the balcony.
Feng Yi cracked the egg.
The sound made the mouse pause.
The guy looked up at Feng Yi and continued walking into the house.
Feng Yi:
Not afraid of people
Are you so brave in front of me
No wonder the owners of the community are complaining so much!
Thinking of Wu Ji's words, Feng Yi quickly stood up and closed all the doors of the rooms, including the bathroom and kitchen. The gap under the door was not big, so the mouse could not get in.
After closing the bedroom door, Feng Yi returned to the dining table and sat down, continuing to crack eggs.
Just now when Feng Yi stood up, the mouse crawled under the sofa in the living room. Now that Feng Yi sat down, the mouse popped its head out from under the sofa again, glanced at Feng Yi, and started rummaging through the trash can in the living room.
Feng Yi stomped his feet, and the mouse that was rummaging through the trash can shrank back under the sofa. Within 5 seconds, it came out again and continued to rummage through the trash can as if no one was around.
There was no use stamping my feet this time.
Feng Yi was stunned.
He is worthy of being the overlord of the city!
There were no suitable tools at home, and Feng Yi had more important things to do today, so he would not spend time catching mice.
After thinking for a while, he peeled an egg white with chopsticks, wrapped it in a paper towel and placed it on a low flower stand outside the balcony. He then went back into the house, continued to eat breakfast, and paid attention to the movement over there.
Sure enough, after a while, the mouse no longer bothered to rummage through the trash can. It followed the smell and ran to the balcony and climbed up the flower trellis to look for eggs.
Feng Yi took this opportunity to quickly close the balcony glass door to keep the rat out, then took a photo through the glass door and sent it to Wu Ji.
"Please be careful downstairs."
“… Shit! I was frightened awake so early in the morning!” Wu Ji asked, “How did it get to your place?”
"I don't know if he came from upstairs or downstairs, but he climbed over the outer wall and then climbed in from the air conditioner platform next to the balcony. I didn't close the window on my side. I was only focused on closing the balcony door yesterday."
"I'll tell my parents to check the doors and windows quickly! Especially those on the balcony! By the way, the homeowners group said last night that the community is organizing a rat extermination program in the next two days, so you should pay attention to it." Wu Ji said.
"I'm going on a long trip today and won't be home. I checked the doors and windows and they can't get in."
After talking to Wu Ji, Feng Yi opened the community owners' group and looked through the chat history to learn about the progress of rat extermination.
When I looked out onto the balcony after breakfast, the mouse had already finished eating the eggs and left.
After checking the doors and windows again to make sure that no food was exposed outside, Feng Yi packed his luggage and rushed to the airport.
I took a short nap on the plane and when I woke up I had already arrived in Yangcheng.
I left here after the college entrance examination, and it has been five or six years now, and now I am back again.
Standing at Yangcheng Airport, Feng Yi's mood was indescribable.
Of course, there is no time for lyrical expression.
After searching for the nearest outdoor goods stores, Feng Yi took a taxi to buy some equipment.
Xiaofeng Mountain is a snake mountain. Even if there is an isolation belt, there is no telling whether a snake will jump out of the isolation belt and be encountered by him. It would be more reassuring to have more equipment.
After buying the equipment, I changed into better protective clothes and shoes. I didn’t wear a helmet because it would look strange to wear it since I haven’t arrived yet. I only wore a disposable mask bought from the pharmacy.
Nowadays, many people wear masks to prevent dust, respiratory allergies, and infectious diseases. Feng Yi is not eye-catching when wearing a mask. Besides, he was a little famous for a short time, and this is where he has lived for 18 years. It would be a little embarrassing to be recognized.
I ordered an online taxi via my mobile phone and selected Xiaofengshan as the destination. The fare was based on the distance traveled, about 200 yuan.
However, after waiting for ten minutes, no one took the order.
The only driver who accepted the order called and said it was a mistake and asked me to cancel the order. He was willing to send a red envelope as compensation.
Feng Yi sat on a public bench, staring at the interface of his mobile phone.
No one wants to take the order!
Thinking of the online posts that said many people were unwilling to go to Xiaofeng Mountain, Feng Yi clicked on the option to pay extra, but a box popped up saying that this function had been updated recently and would be available after 24:00 tonight.
What Feng Yi lacks now is time!
He told the old butler to get the job done as soon as possible!
Search for subway and bus.
Some of the equipment I just bought cannot be brought into the subway, and none of the public transportation goes directly to Xiaofengshan. The nearest bus stop is at least two kilometers away from the destination.
Because there is a protected area near Xiaofengshan, according to netizens, it is not within the feasible range for shared bicycles. If you ride past it, a warning window will pop up, and the bicycle may even lock itself automatically.
Feng Yi looked around and saw a taxi with passengers parked not far away, and the passengers got off.
I rushed over and stopped the car before it left.
"Master, do you want to go to Xiaofeng Mountain? Pay extra."
The driver was about to refuse when he heard Xiao Fengshan's offer, but when he heard the last two words, he paused, raised his eyelids to look at Feng Yi, and said, "500, let's go."
"become!"
It would be fine if he could take a taxi, so he wouldn't have to rent a car. He was in a hurry now.
"Scan this code, then click on the add 300 yuan button on the operation page and check if the passenger is voluntary," said the driver.
Feng Yi put the big backpack in the trunk, got in the car and heard this, and replied: "Okay. Is that how we do it? Won't your company say anything to you when they find out?"
"I just need to submit a note after completing this order, and the company will understand. No one wants to go to Xiaofengshan.
"It's okay in the winter, but when the weather gets warmer, people don't want to go there anymore, after all, it's Snake Mountain. Although there is a barrier, it may not be completely isolated. A while ago, my colleague took an order to take two people there, saying they were going to inspect a company there. There are many agriculture and animal husbandry-related companies near Xiaofeng Mountain. I don't remember which company they went to, but after taking the people there, they were kept for a meal, and the car was detained on the way back."
"Why?" Feng Yi asked.
"He picked up another ride when he entered the city, and the passenger found a snake in his car. The passenger screamed and called the police to report a dragon!"
The driver sighed: “What bad luck!
"Then, the company showed excessive concern, the police invited him to have tea, and he also attracted the attention of relevant departments. On the same day, there were rumors that he was an online car-hailing driver on the surface, but secretly sold wild animals!
Fortunately, there is surveillance and there are witnesses at Xiao Fengshan’s place, otherwise even ten mouths would not be able to explain themselves!
"Fortunately, there was no fine that time, just a few more words of criticism. The company also held a meeting to specifically mention that cars going there should not stay too long in the future, and should be checked again when leaving, otherwise it would be reported in the social news."
The driver sighed that humans are not as good as snakes.
"My grandparents all ate snakes. When my parents came of age, the policy was slightly tightened. In my generation, forget it. There's no time to hide. The strictest protection law is hanging over our heads. It's not that I'm afraid of snakes. It's just that sometimes I can't explain myself when I'm involved. Some reporters are afraid that they won't be able to handle the situation.
"My colleague's story was picked up by a self-media marketing account, which made a video about it. The story was full of twists and turns, with ups and downs in the plot, mysterious and strange music, flashback special effects, and twists and turns. It then became a hot topic in one fell swoop!
"Although I was able to help my colleague dispel the rumors in the end, not everyone wants to become famous in this way."
Feng Yi understood. So that was the case. He had indeed not paid attention to such news on the Internet because of the studio's affairs. There must be something behind the fact that so many drivers refused to go to Xiaofengshan.
While waiting for the red light, the driver glanced at Feng Yi who was sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
"Are you a star?" the driver asked.
Feng Yi was shocked. He had only played a supporting role in a web drama, and although he became a little popular due to luck when it was aired not long ago, he had not taken care of the management due to the studio's affairs, and his popularity had already cooled down. Could the driver really recognize him
After thinking about it, Feng Yi coughed lightly and said with certainty: "No."
What kind of star are those out-of-date internet celebrities who are outside the 18th tier
I do not deserve!!!
