Du Lin didn't have any mature ideas about how to arrange Xiu En. In his opinion, it would be enough to find a job for Xiu En, but he would never let Xiu En enter his inner circle. Giving him a bite to eat was based on the fact that the two of them had some kind of friendship in the past. At that time, Xiu En wanted to use Du Lin to bring down the top management of Tenel, and Du Lin also took advantage of Xiu En. The Tiger Skins of the Contraband Investigation Bureau almost annexed half of the bootleg liquor market in Turner City, and by the way, they took out some of the bootleg liquor seized in the warehouse and sold it under a brand name, making a lot of money.
For anyone in the early stages of starting a business, even a penny is useful, not to mention that the income from this kind of capital-free profiteering business is much higher than a penny.
Now that Xiu En was in despair, he took the initiative to open his mouth and reach out. Du Lin didn't mind giving him a hand, but he didn't know how good he would be treated.
After pondering for a moment, Du Lin said, "Let's do this. I can help you find a job locally. If you are willing to do something by yourself, I can also support you." To be honest, Xiu En's appearance at this time was not enough. To bring more benefits to Du Lin, first of all, he lost his previous job, which was the biggest disadvantage. He had no special skills that could tempt Du Lin. And now the hometown association has also begun to clean up. After nearly a year of cleansing, the hometown association has completely separated from crime.
So far, there has never been any violent and illegal incident related to the association. This is an unofficial social organization used by ordinary fellow villagers to establish feelings and personal relationships. It does not have any harm to society. The distributors and agents under Du Lin have also stopped their criminal activities. They are not directly involved in any business now, they just send a certain product to a certain place for others to sell, and for some sensitive products such as drinks, etc. Yes, they all applied for contraband transportation permits and were completely cleared.
This is a step in Dulin's grand plan. He does not have a deep foundation in this society, although some people will call him "the leader of the Dulin Group" or something like that.
The Dulin interest group in the process of cleansing will not do anything that clearly violates the law, so Xiu En's utilization value has become infinitely low. It may not be of any use to keep him, so it is better to let him go.
Xiu En obviously did not consider that Du Lin would make such a decision. He wanted to ask to stay with Du Lin, but he opened his mouth and did not say it out, choosing to obey Du Lin's arrangement. Even though it seemed that Du Lin was not much different from the past, Xiu En still understood that this was a werewolf. In the criminal group headed by Du Lin, there are hundreds of possible murder cases. He is worthless now. If Du Lin is alerted, he may one day become the headline news in the newspaper.
After sending Xiu En away, an unexpected person called him, Sophia.
From the sound of her voice, Sophia's tone was a little... strange, as if she was weak, which made Dulin a little worried about her. Sophia is a very important role in the agency system. It can be said that in the early days of the agency system, this woman gave the entire system too much courage and confidence. Black Widow's name is known to almost everyone on the East Coast, and she laid the foundation for Doolin's smuggling empire.
"It sounds like your situation is very bad. Can you tell me what happened?" Dulin asked Dove to pour himself a glass of wine. He held the receiver between his shoulder and cheek and walked to the yard, holding the phone in one hand. , holding a wine glass in one hand. He found a chair to sit down and lit a cigarette. He had some bad premonitions, which soon came true.
Sophia laughed twice, but her laughter was soon interrupted by a violent cough. There was a whistling sound when she breathed, and she could tell that she was seriously ill. The only good thing is that her mental state is not bad at this time, " I'm sick, maybe because I go out too much in the winter. You know, the winter on the East Coast is not comfortable at all. The doctor told me that I have pneumonia. Of course, you don't need to worry about me. I have taken special medicine and the doctor said I am recovering well."
The east coast is indeed not a good place in winter. The cold and humid air makes you feel the icy chill creeping into your body through the gaps in your clothes even if you wear thick clothes. Most people on the East Coast head south during the winter, or stay indoors and go out as little as possible. But the east coast has been developing well in the past two years, and there is a lot of business even in winter. A prominent person like Sophia will inevitably be invited to various banquets and receptions, or even act as a middleman.
As people get older, things that are not usually taken seriously will gradually turn into troubles. She caught a cold, then started to have a fever, which was accompanied by a short-term convulsion. The hospital diagnosed her with severe pneumonia and interventional treatment was started, but the effect was not obvious. Her condition seemed to be worsening in the past few days. The hospital recommended that she take the latest specially developed medicine. However, this medicine has not yet received more verification data and has certain side effects and risks. Sophia had a premonition that she might not live long.
This premonition is very magical. Many people feel like this when they are about to die. They want to struggle but are unable to do so. They can only watch their life passing from their bodies bit by bit. She also has this feeling. Feeling, so she called Dulin.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I believe that the hospital will try its best to save my life in order to drain the money out of my pocket. They are always like this. They will not give up on any rich person and will not show mercy to any poor person.", The old woman was still in the mood to joke, but Du Lin could hear the desolation hidden in her words, and his mood became worse.
People trust him and admire him, even if the old woman may be running out of time, she still has to give him a call. He needs to do something, "Tell me, Sophia, anything, as long as I can do it, this is My promise to you!"
Sophia kept laughing, her laughter was old and a little lonely. Before she met Dulin, her life was very difficult. Many Guart people were not in very good health. The heavy pressure of life made them need to do more hard and even physically destructive work in order to support their families. When something damages the foundation, it is difficult to repair it. No one knows when something will happen and everything will explode.
"I may not be able to go to this year's annual meeting. I am very sorry. If my health allows, I will try my best to rush there. Although I may not be able to go, my daughter will attend the annual meeting in my place. This is my only I hope you can agree." Sophia coughed a few more times, and the whistle sounded louder when she coughed. There seemed to be medical staff trying to stop her, but she refused, "I know her, she has many young people's thoughts. , also has her own pursuits. If she does something wrong, I hope you can tolerate her for once. "
"I dare not ask for more, will you agree?"
What Sofia is worried about is that if she doesn't get through it, the special medicine prescribed to her by the hospital won't work, and everything she has now will soon disappear. Even if Du Lin takes care of her children, it can't stop people from peeking at the wealth she left behind.
The only way is to let her daughter continue to serve Dulin. Only in this way can she keep everything she has now.
Du Lin did not hesitate and agreed directly, "I will. If this is what you want, then I will do that."
"Thanks… "
After hanging up the phone, Du Lin felt a little heavy. In fact, Sophia was not too old. She was in her fifties. Calling her "old woman" was just a way of calling her. She was still far from a real old woman. Unfortunately, she lost her husband when she was young and the burden of the entire family's life fell on her alone. In this way, once she had rich money, she would help those who had more difficult lives. This is a good man, but he was not born in the best of times.
Du Lin was a little sad, but he quickly cheered up. Perhaps this was the value and purpose of his life, to change the current world and give them warm sunshine to more people who hoped for light.
Since Du Lin came back, people have been contacting him. Some are friends, some are acquaintances, and there are also many people he doesn't know. In this world, many things happen every day, some of which can be controlled, and some of which cannot be controlled.
After dinner, Du Lin sat in the living room and turned on the TV, a real TV. In the past half year or so, TV stations have begun to cover more cities. TV stations have basically been established in first-tier cities, and now even cables have begun to be laid in the west. In fact, although the west is relatively backward, the cost of laying cables is very cheap, and the speed and density of laying cables are higher than those in big cities. The only drawback is that there are not enough people watching.
Most channels on TV are broadcasting about this ongoing war, which is what people are most concerned about right now. This time the empire lived up to expectations, overcoming obstacles and conquering the first and second city chains, and is currently fighting with the federal army in the third city chain. All program hosts in the news reports held an objective attitude, and some of the invited war experts and scholars also believed that this would be a perfect journey of revenge, and that it was even possible to capture the federal capital.
The entire society is in a state of fanaticism, and many people are clamoring to destroy another country and expand the empire's territory to the entire northern continent.
Du Lin didn't know much about war, but he always felt that it was too smooth.
From the beginning, the federal resistance was ineffective, and the war should not be like this.
Of course, maybe the Empire is really powerful, so powerful that the Federation simply cannot organize an effective resistance force.
