A Little Tremor

A harsh truth is—

This world has no fairness to speak of.

Many people work their lives to the bone, emptying the savings of six family members just to afford a house in certain cities, and even then, it's just the down payment... But what about some people? They get their property redeveloped and suddenly have more than twenty apartments? What's that about?

Li Yao felt a twinge of envy.

Although he was rich now, and even had Father Lin as his sugar daddy.

But apart from Father Lin, who fell from the sky, all the other money was earned by Li Yao himself, while Zhou Li's money might as well have fallen from the sky... Li Yao said stiffly, "Boss Zhou's family is rich. A property redevelopment can get you more than twenty apartments."

Zhou Li: "No, I'm a farmer. The municipal planning designated our land for construction, so they included my ten-odd acres, and I got more than twenty apartments and a few shops as compensation."

Heh,

Damn it.

Li Yao rolled his eyes inwardly, then remembered the Xiong'an New Area planned in Jingdu, where a bachelor uncle with real estate instantly became a billionaire, and people proposing marriage broke down his door.

Life,

How unfair it is.

Li Yao sighed inwardly—thank goodness I'm also a cheater! Who's afraid of who! Li Yao didn't dwell on the topic, and instead said, "I've taken over the bar next door. From now on, we're neighbors, so please take care of me."

Zhou Li said lazily, "Sure, sure, let's all make money together."

For some reason, Li Yao felt a chill down his spine! Are you planning to plot against me!? Just then, a girl jumped down from the second floor. The girl was petite but shapely, with a delicate face like a loli—she bounced over and clung to Qi Qi, "Yingyingying, Sister Qi Qi, hug~"

Li Yao was shocked!

There was actually an Yingying Monster hidden here! Was this becoming a trend? Li Yao pondered, did his bar also need to capture an Yingying Monster to hold down the fort...

Li Yao glanced at the Midnight Bar, comparing the people who appeared here with those who appeared on Azure Dragon Mountain that day.

Shuisheng Ge should be the Bull Demon Warrior, the Yingying Monster was probably the Little Fox, Zhou Li and Qi Qi were both Copper Dragons, and now all that was missing were the Kings.

Keeping this information in mind, Li Yao prepared to get up and leave.

Before leaving, Li Yao suddenly said casually, "Oh right, I heard that the Property Tax is about to be implemented soon, Boss Zhou, you should pay attention."

Zhou Li was melancholy.

That really hit a nerve, brother.

He grabbed Li Yao's arm and asked, "Brother, want to buy a house?"

Li Yao: "..."

How come buying a house, such a solemn and festive occasion, feels like you're selling pirated DVDs when it comes out of your mouth? The kind with adult content!

But,

Actually, it's not something I can't consider.

So Li Yao said, "I'll think about it."

Zhou Li was overjoyed, "Easy, easy, feel free to contact me if you need anything!"

Qi Qi and the other employees rolled their eyes.

After Li Yao left, Zhou Li sighed, "Look at the way you all are! Do you think it's easy being the head of the family? I'm really racking my brains for this family!"

The Yingying Monster looked up, innocently, "What did the heart do wrong, to be so racked by you?"

Zhou Li: "..."

"Zhao Shuisheng! How the hell are you raising the child! What have you turned a perfectly good Yingying Monster into! Get out here, you hear me! Get out here!"

Listening to the commotion behind him, Li Yao smiled.

The other party had said that the Provincial Capital area was their jurisdiction, which meant that the other party was an organized group, and even had connections with the authorities. As a mysterious power holder who was independent, Li Yao would inevitably be wary of such an official organization. Currently, the masked man was not the kind of harsh and strict official. If they were, Li Yao would have to be more careful in hiding himself.

The crime of possessing a treasure has existed since ancient times.

Fortunately,

As far as the current situation is concerned, the situation is not as severe as Li Yao had imagined.

After a period of time, Li Yao talked with several decoration and design companies about how to renovate the bar. In fact, there weren't many places that needed to be changed. The foundation of this bar was still good. The main thing was to throw away those things that were either gothic or heavy metal punk style, and redesign the decoration.

Because the amount of construction was not large, it took about ten days to get it done.

The redecorated store removed all the exaggerated dark elements of the original, and tried to reflect the charm of wooden decoration as much as possible. A bohemian woven tablecloth was laid on the long table in the Hall of Righteous Gathering, with candlesticks placed on it, and above it was a chandelier made from wooden wheels, also lit with candles.

The rest of the decorations were also mainly dignified and decent objects.

In general,

The style of the bar was transformed and became calm and restrained.

Anyway, Li Yao was quite satisfied.

Before the opening, Li Yao invited his friends to sit here.

Besides his roommates, the only other person who came was Lin Xiaoxi.

Boss Zhou Li from the bar next door heard that there was a gathering here, and happily ran over to join in the fun. Seven or eight people gathered together, and it wasn't deserted.

Because he hadn't hired a chef yet, Li Yao ordered takeout and bought some wine and drinks. Anyway, they were all friends, so they could eat, drink, and have fun.

During the banquet, Cao Rui, as the richest in the dormitory, pointed out the country: "Da Yao has gotten rich recently! When did you take over the store? The annual rent must be a lot of money, right?"

Li Yao waved his hand: "No rent, I bought it."

Cao Rui was shocked!

How much money would that cost! He stared straight at Li Yao, and when he thought of the bank card Li Yao had received before, he suddenly became thoughtful and sat down, holding back his words.

Chen Tao looked around blankly, and also lowered his head silently without speaking.

The atmosphere became a little strange.

Zhou Li introduced himself heartlessly: "Me, Zhou Li, my house was demolished, and I have more than twenty apartments!"

A big shot, generous! Chen Tao's eyes became even darker.

Cao Rui snorted: "Where are your apartments?"

Zhou Li said triumphantly: "In the Greenland New City area."

"Oh." Cao Rui thought for a while and said, "It seems that the buildings were developed by my dad."

Zhou Li: "???"

Negative emotions from Zhou Li +888...

So what if you have more than twenty apartments?

The entire building complex belongs to someone else, okay! Li Yao also noticed that Chen Tao was not right, but he didn't say much, just picked up the wine to make everyone happy.

After a few rounds of drinks, Cao Rui tilted his head: "Da Yao, what's the name of your store? It doesn't have a name."

Li Yao wasn't sure either, so he asked: "Do you have any good ideas? I think the name is quite important."

Cao Rui immediately became interested: "Tremor Bar! Tremble for no reason!"

Ever since he watched Mr. Six, he had been coveting this name for a long time! After all, Grandpa Feng and Sister Xu's shivers were still very captivating.

Today I'm suddenly lazy
