Chapter 44. Secrets in the Ledger
Zhou Jinru had no choice but to blow the breeze out and let her stay here, maybe something would happen.
Standing in the empty kitchen, he took out Rhode Island's customized communicator, and all he got was a busy signal. Zhou Jinru sighed. Saint Martin's infrastructure was very poor, and it didn't even have good communications. He couldn't get in touch with Rhode Island for the time being.
connect.
Not long after, a fairly sumptuous amount of food was placed on the table, and the tableware was placed. Zhou Jinru wiped his hands and shouted: "Vina is ready for dinner!"
The young lion left the room impatiently and looked at the dinner table with eyes shining.
"Where's the breeze?"
"I asked her to go see if there is any news about Indra."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Feng walked in from outside the door and rushed straight to the dining table, showing no grace at all.
"I'm starving."
Breeze forked a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's worse than Mr. Kakumine's skills, but it's already very good. It's better than Indra, and it's much better than Gawain and the others."
Zhou Jinru looked at Wei Feng wolfing down the food and said with a dull expression, "Where is your usual ladylike persona?"
"No, it doesn't have to be so formal. There are no outsiders here. The main reason is that the food in the gang is so bad. From frugality to luxury, the cafeteria in Rhode Island is so delicious."
While Breeze was talking, she wrapped the fried meat with slices of bread, spread it with condensed milk, put two vegetable leaves on it, and treated it as a staple food. Her movements were skillful and quick, which was amazing.
"Ah~"
She let out a cheer of satisfaction and said with emotion: "I haven't enjoyed this way of eating for a long time. Traveling long distances alone is too hard."
Zhou Jinru sat down and ate something. Wei Na next to him stared at the plate in front of him eagerly, so he had to spread half of it and give it to her.
"I heard that you were on the road for more than three months. Why did you walk for so long?"
Breeze drank vegetable soup and wiped her mouth: "Because the road is very difficult to walk. There is a community of infected people just outside St. Martin. There is also a large no-man's land. It is rare to find a convoy across the wilderness. One person cannot get out.
In the wilderness, those skilled hunters dare not stray too far from the settlement."
"I almost lost my life in Syracuse. Fortunately, I met a powerful gunman and survived."
Zhou Jinru said thoughtfully: "I heard you say that that person is called Undead, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to join Rhode Island."
Breeze said disappointedly: "He probably left an organization after being seriously injured and became frustrated, so he became a wilderness hunter."
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and you can't force them."
Wei Na burped and sipped the vegetable soup in small sips, squinting her eyes with satisfaction. Zhou Jinru was afraid that she would fall into the soup basin because of dozing off.
"Is there no news about Indra yet?"
"Not yet. Weina said she went to the next block to help maintain order, but there has been no news back. I don't have time to check the situation, but with her strength, there should be no problem."
Breeze looked at Wei Na. The lion was as quiet as a cat today, which was a bit unlike her style.
Zhou Jinru said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work."
He lived in Rhode Island and never thought that a person would live such a hard life.
"Doctor, the lives of infected people have always been difficult. There is no such thing as hard work or not. That's why life in Rhode Island is like a real paradise. There are jobs, wages, and employee benefits. You don't have to live a precarious life.
We thank you and Amiya from the bottom of our hearts for your efforts.”
Zhou Jinru felt a little ashamed. He had only done some minor work, and the doctor was just enjoying himself. In terms of contribution, it still depends on Amiya and Kelsey.
After dinner, Wei Feng went back to his room to rest, and Wei Na went back to her room by herself. After Zhou Jinru cleared the dining table, he realized a very serious question:
Where will he sleep tonight?
You can't go to Wei Na's room. Although the relationship between them is relatively close and their trust is at least two hundred, but... it's really inappropriate.
When he was in Rhodes Island, he could still deal with work problems, and no operator would embarrass him on personal issues. Even Shi Huaiya respected his choice.
As a good young man in the new era, Zhou Jinru's moral bottom line is still very solid. His restraint, perseverance, and firmness have won him more respect. The reputation of the doctor among the operators has been completely reversed, and there is no shortage of prodigal sons turning around.
to describe him.
Before traveling through time, he had the idea of submitting an application to join the Party, but in the end he lost to reality.
Gathering his thoughts, he sat alone on the sofa and flipped through the account book. After turning a few pages, Zhou Jinru's brows furrowed and he quickly flipped through a few more pages. He had some ideas in his mind.
The development of the local industry in Tulip Street is abnormal. There is no doubt that it started in April last year. Since then, a large number of outsiders have poured into the city, trying to take root here.
Therefore, some private lending companies have full development prospects. On this basis, these gray industries have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the supervision of San Martin... it has no supervision.
The account books show that no gray industry in the financial industry can survive for more than four months. The money they distribute will be difficult to recover in the end. Guys who can roll the donkey and come back nine times and come back naturally have endless reminders.
They used debt tactics, but they still finished the game.
In addition to maintaining daily order, the Glasgow Gang doesn't care about what's there or what's not, and the local police station, forget it, they are short of manpower every day and can't be counted on.
So a closed cycle emerged: outsiders came to St. Martin, were unable to live and consume, were forced to borrow money, failed to repay the loans, were called for debts, and were unable to repay, the lending industry went bankrupt, and the creditors disappeared along with the records of the debtors.
More unknown outsiders poured in.
The only party that may have the possibility of supervision has never thought of intervening.
"It's over, Vina was used as a gun."
Zhou Jinru closed the ledger. He knew very well that this gray industry must be closely related to local gangs, and the gangs must have some kind of agreement with the local police station. They cannot go too far, coupled with the clampdown and high pressure of regulatory agencies to keep the operation running.
, so that greedy capital will not be too rampant.
However, what appeared in front of him was a different picture.
The Glasgow Gang broke this tradition. It was composed of outsiders and had no roots in the country. Naturally, no one could relate to it.
San Martin's supervision is in name only, leaving the door open to the hungry wolf called capital to make a fortune.
As a result, Tulip Street became a natural harvester for outsiders, and the poor people who fell into the trap were just like the original Hongyun.
"This is not the old and conservative Victoria, this is St. Martin's full of dreams and profit-seeking St. Martin."
Zhou Jinru raised his head with a wry smile, and just met the eyes of the girl standing at the door of the room. Her amber pupils were shining and breathtaking.
"What are you doing?"
"Look at the ledger."
"It's time to rest, come in."
"What?"
"Come in!"
