20. A chance encounter
When I went to school to buy a house for medical treatment, the people of the Celestial Empire had been troubled by these three major problems. Some staff members engaged in these three industries often encountered resentment from the working people.
Unfortunately, Lu Jia's mother is one of the real estate developers cursed by public opinion.
When I chose this project, it was probably because there was nothing worth developing in the small place - the market was limited, there were no particularly developed industries, and there were only a few industries that could make a profit and lose money. Even fewer people always had to live in a house for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Especially from the perspective of the people of the Celestial Empire, no matter how much land prices soar with GDP, buying a house is a major event in life.
After ten years of operation, the company has a considerable share in the local market, which can be regarded as a local snake. It still has the energy to explore its tentacles to the outside world, and can also get a small share of the Chinese Ocean in the north.
Lu Jia did not experience the hard work of starting a business in those days, but he knew how difficult it was for a woman to occupy a share of this kind of industry.
Whether in first-tier cities or third-tier cities, the competition among real estate developers is fierce. I still remember that there were several years when my mother didn’t go home for days and nights. When she came back, she fell tiredly on the bed and fell asleep. Sometimes she went home drunk. The root cause of the disease fell at that time.
Lu Jia knew very well how much effort the company had brought about.
Someone wants to take advantage of the situation, but Lu Jia feels that he should at least figure out something.
"Yes, yes, there are indeed people who are acquiring the company's shares. However, the largest part of the shares is still in the hands of President Lu. They cannot be acquired. Xiao Jia, don't worry." Secretary Huang, who is dressed in a capable manner, smiled at Lu Jia, with a very comforting smile.
"Do you know who is the person who acquired the shares?"
"It is a real estate company in the provincial capital." Secretary Huang said: "It is said that it is quite big and rich, but Mr. Lu has never let go. Now he is just acquiring some shares in the hands of retail investors and small shareholders."
"That's how..." Lu Jia shook his head, industrial mergers, big fish eat small fish, shopping malls are like battlefields, if you are weak, people will naturally want to eat you, and there is nothing to complain about.
Looking at the somewhat desolate office floor, Lu Jia sighed: "It's been a long time since the company looks like this, right?"
Secretary Huang smiled reluctantly: "Fortunately, Manager Li is here, and there are still some business to do now, and the airs have not yet been disbanded, but... if the road is not good..."
"Thank you, Manager Li, help me." After a few casual words, Lu Jia walked out of the company, with a gloom on his face, and suddenly realized that he had been living in a protected state since he was a child.
What happens if the mother dies?
The company is getting worse and worse, and the shares are being robbed by others. He knows nothing about business and is powerless even if he wants to do anything.
I wonder if this can be regarded as the "interesting future" that Death foresawed by 307?
Lu Jia smiled self-deprecatingly.
When he reached the entrance of the alley, Lu Jia suddenly turned his eyes and noticed something strange on one side - there was a strange desertic state between the two tall buildings, which looked very strange.
At this time, the back of his hand jumped up and Lu Jia lowered his head slightly, as if he saw a tombstone tattoo under his skin.
There is a problem.
Lu Jia's eyes shrank, he took a sudden step back, and turned to the corner behind the wall.
‘Unknown barrier detected: Warning, no relevant skills, and the barrier attributes cannot be resolved.’
Lu Jia suddenly became alert. At this time, he saw a group of middle school students coming from school on the back talking and laughing, and then turned around a random turn and walked away more than ten meters away. Lu Jia followed quietly, watching several groups of people walking around the area in a large circle, but did not realize that they passed directly from the center. Lu Jia was finally able to confirm that this barrier has the function of driving away idle people.
Lu Jia, who confirmed these things, turned around and left without hesitation.
He didn't know that there were any superpowers in the world besides the hunting ground, but no matter what the appearance of this barrier had to do with the hunting ground, he was not qualified to be curious.
I am just a novice at the D2 level. People who can release such a large-scale barrier are definitely not something I can afford to provoke.
As soon as he took two steps, a crisp sound that was almost inaudible sound rang behind Lu Jia. He was secretly shocked and quickly walked into the door hole next to him, put a human skin mask on his face, and waited for about an hour until he saw several residents passing by the stairs before he slowly walked out.
The strange area that was still empty just now became more popular in an hour. Lu Jia frowned and wandered around the community for a while. Finally, he found some less natural traces in an inconspicuous corner. The walls and grass that were ravaged by sharp blades and spikes, and the blood stains in the corners were not obvious.
"Someone has fought here." Lu Jia judged, followed the bloodstain for two steps, and suddenly stopped.
He raised his head and a tall woman next to the old men playing mahjong on the stone table on the left was staring at him with playful eyes.
The woman looks ordinary and can’t tell what’s good-looking. She is wearing a women’s suit and has a light makeup on her face. Her temperament seems to be a young employee who is doing ordinary civilian jobs in the company. She is never abrupt when she is placed in a crowd.
But when he stared at those gazes, Lu Jia felt a chill. He watched the woman gradually approaching, and took two steps back quietly, and retreated into the abortion of students who were leaving class home.
"You..." The woman stared at Lu Jia, as if she was a little funny: "Don't you want to talk to me?"
"Who are you?" Lu Jia made a strange expression: "I don't know you."
He looked around secretly, kept a safe distance from this woman, and repeatedly simulated the escape route.
The conclusion is that it is best to stay in the abortion.
"You're a little too nervous. You've just entered the hunting ground shortly." The woman lit a cigarette and handed the cigarette box to Lu Jia: "Give me one?"
Lu Jia frowned: "I can't smoke."
"It's still a child." The woman smiled and looked at Lu Jia: "But she is very alert, her quality is good, and she may live longer."
Lu Jia pondered: "What do you... want to do?"
"What do you want to do? What do you think people like us should do when they meet?" He looked at Lu Jia deeply, and the woman smiled and said, "Murder and grab treasure?"
Lu Jia raised his eyebrows.
According to the rules set by Death, it is obviously unreasonable for two hunters to meet in reality.
"Look at that person." The woman pointed to a middle-aged fat man who had just walked out of a Mercedes-Benz on the side of the road: "He has at least a seven-digit credit card with an overdraft quota, and his personal property is definitely more than tens of millions. A person who is penniless, such as the one who kidnapped this fat man, can steal a large amount of money and get rich overnight. Why doesn't he do this?"
"He doesn't have the ability." Lu Jia shook his head when he looked at the beggar who was fingering the woman.
"What if he has?"
A strange feeling surged in Lu Jia's heart: "Don't you want to kill me?"
The woman shook her head: "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Because of the law, the law protects this fat man and this beggar - as long as he does not violate the law." Lu Jia frowned: "What do you want to say?"
"What if his actions did not violate the law? Or if he had the ability to do this, he would completely escape from the sanctions of the law - only this time, would he do this?" the woman continued to ask.
Lu Jia shook his head: "Not necessarily, it depends on whether his personal desire for money can break through his moral bottom line."
"Well said, kid." The woman smiled: "Can your desire and desire for points break through your moral bottom line?"
Lu Jia nodded, shook his head again, with a thoughtful expression.
