Above Destiny

Chapter 388 One point

After the award ceremony, Ji Jue left the rest of the matters to the staff and took the Tong family’s airship back to Yacheng.

The calf was loaded with the gifts that the staff at the relay station had bought for him along the way, in large and small bags, and he first went to a car repair shop in the mainland to "unload" - rice, pearls, handicrafts, root carvings... they were piled up into a small mountain that was big enough to bury the youngest child.

Taking into account Lu Ma's habits, we bought local specialties that were not expensive, but they were rare in other places.

"It's such a hassle to go out, and I have to bring so many things with me. I can't even put them all in, and it's a waste of money."

Mother Lu didn't even look at those things. She grabbed Ji Jue's hand and looked him up and down. After finding that he hadn't lost weight or gained weight, she smiled with narrowed eyes: "After going out, you are much more energetic, but a little darker."

"black?"

Lu Feng, who was lazing around beside him, was amused: "This is the first time I've heard people say that people from Yacheng got tanned when they went to other places..."

Then, he successfully welcomed the discriminatory treatment from Lu's mother, who angrily said, "What are you laughing at! You are so tanned that you look like a toad, and you still have the nerve to laugh at others!

She just lies there every day, not paying attention to work at all. How can Xiaoling move so many things by herself?"

As he said that, he went up and kicked Lu Feng, making him jump up like a dog.

Lu Feng didn't dare to say anything. He covered his butt and went to move the things in a dejected manner.

I brought Longyuan root carvings to Lu Ma, which were quickly wiped clean and placed on the counter. I brought Lu Feng a few bags of Huangzhou tobacco, Lu Ling's Kunwu gemstone necklace, the tiny gemstones sparkling in the sun, toys to the third sister, and extracurricular exercises found along the way to the youngest... Suddenly, everyone was smiling.

After finishing his work, Ji Jue wiped the sweat off his forehead and said only that he would come for dinner in the evening. Then he continued to drive to Beishan Security Bureau. He piled two boxes of various liquors bought from the areas along the way on Wen Wen's desk, then gave Xiao An the upgraded version of Rupert's Tears to play with first, brought Tong Hua a handmade wool blanket from Longyuan, and brought Lao Zhang a set of Kunwu tea sets... After distributing all the specialties, the carriage of the calf horse was finally empty.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Jue had already arrived at the Security Bureau headquarters in Yacheng.

"The guard has given instructions. There's no need to wait. Just come in directly." The assistant took him directly to the door of Lu Yingyue's office.

In the busy atmosphere, many people were moving things, and boxes of all sizes were piled inside and outside the office, which was a bit chaotic.

"You're back so early. You've been busy for so long. I thought you were going to spend a few more days in Chaocheng."

Lu Yingyue was tidying up the documents on the table and waved to Ji Jue at the door: "Sorry, I'm tidying up the office recently, so it's a bit messy, please be casual, don't mind."

"You are..." Ji Jue looked around curiously, "Moving?"

"It's just a change of office location, nothing much has actually changed. For now, I can't find anyone in Yacheng who can take over, so I'm afraid I'll have to do it part-time for a while."

Lu Yingyue sighed in worry, "It's hard to get a job in this field, and there are fewer people who can do it well. Ah Shan could have helped, but after he was sent out, there will be a bigger vacancy."

"Brother Shan is going to be sent abroad?"

"It's not a good idea for young people to stay at home all the time. It's a good thing for them to go out and see the world."

When Lu Yingyue said this, the smile on her lips became subtle: "However, if you are willing to help him...why don't you come to the Security Bureau?

You can choose the position in the first, second or third department. No matter which one you choose, with your ability, you will be able to take over his position after working for a few years."

"Ah this..."

Ji Jue was stunned and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Isn't this not good for the Governor?"

Suddenly, Lu Yingyue laughed, understood what he meant, and didn't mention it again.

"I only have tea to entertain the guests, don't worry about it."

She handed over a cup of tea, sat on the sofa opposite Ji Jue without any hesitation, and threw aside the cumbersome and messy documents on the table.

However, when I picked up a thick photo album, I couldn't help but pause.

Surprise or perhaps remembrance.

It's like finding something I had forgotten for a long time...

"So it's here. I thought I had lost it." She sighed and opened the album-like file. To Ji Jue's surprise, it was full of clippings.

Odds and ends from various newspapers and magazines were cut out and inserted inside.

The photos that can be vaguely seen in newspapers are all of Lu Yingyue's appearance when she was young, and most of the reports are also related to her.

She turned to the middle and showed it to Ji Jue.

That old photo from more than 20 years ago was slightly faded.

It was as if I was in a foreign country, in front of a stall in an unfamiliar market. There was some problem with the lens focusing, so the subject was slightly blurred.

At that time, the young Lu Yingyue was wearing a headscarf unique to Middle-earth, making a V-sign towards the camera, while with her other hand, she was holding a young woman with a face full of indifference and rejection, whose whole body was filled with the words "stay away from me".

Is that... Ye Xian?
Ji Jue couldn't help but move closer, his eyes widened. A photo of the teacher when he was young? He looked somewhat similar to Ye Chun.

Subconsciously, I wanted to raise my phone.

Snapped!
The album is closed.

"Just take a look. Ye Xian's temper has been getting worse in the past two years. If she knew that you saved this kind of thing, not only would you be in trouble, but I might also suffer."

Lu Yingyue smiled mischievously, patted the scrapbook in her hand, put it aside, and said with emotion: "When I was young, I was always vain. When I occasionally achieved something, I would think of saving it up and reading it slowly when I had time. Maybe I could save it into an epic in the future... As a result, I saved it up, and there were too few things that could be saved, and the things that could not be saved were increasing, to the point that I almost forgot about them.

This is what happens when you get older. You like to nag and complain, get used to the day-to-day life, and forget more and more things. You are still young and don’t have such troubles. You should take advantage of your youth to explore more. If you always stay at home, you will definitely regret it when you are old. "

"...Compared to that, I prefer a monotonous life, a quiet and stable one. Forget about adventures, right?"

Ji Jue smiled bitterly: "It's easy to be overly anxious."

Lu Yingyue asked, "Shengnian told me that you don't plan to take Haichao's shares?"

Ji Jue shook his head: "The amount is too large. Even if it is a contribution, how can it be worth so much?"

After the merger and reorganization of Coast and Chaocheng, combined with the military assets transferred from Qingtian Industries, and the spoils dug out from the four companies including Echo, Xinyuan, etc., even if it has not yet officially operated and listed, it is destined to be a rising behemoth, and it may even be the leading military industry in the southeastern region of the Federation in the future.

What Ji Jue did, at best, was just to revitalize a car factory and participate in a rally.

As a pawn that draws hatred, attracts attention, stirs up trouble, stirs up waves, and most importantly, is the forerunner of the king. If the task is really settled, even if there is some output, it can't reach the edge of MVP. It's just a superficial effort to beat the drums. How can it be worth such a high price?
"Only at times like this, I don't look like a craftsman at all."

Lu Yingyue shook her head and sighed, "It's not a good thing to be too sensible."

If it were any other craftsman, they would not hesitate at all when faced with such a huge fortune.

Alchemy is the art of burning money. As long as you are ruthless and ruthless, you can burn all the money. Similarly, no matter how much money you have, it will never be enough. For a rising craftsman like Ji Jue, when faced with such a situation, even if he can't hold it, hold it firmly, or swallow it, he will put it in his pocket, not afraid of being stuffed to death, and wait until he is stuffed to death.

Ye Xian might not waver because she doesn't care about these interests at all, and doesn't want to be bound by Lu Yingyue because of them.

But she couldn't understand why Ji Jue refused.

Is it just because of propriety?
"I'm afraid I can't promise you that."

She pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't want to bother, Chen Xingzhou and the Tong family will hold it for you, and you won't be involved in the management. Originally, this part was handed over to you after consultation and compromise among all parties. If it was handed over to someone else, no one would agree.

At the current stage, the tide must be kept stable. This is not only a reward, but also a duty you need to fulfill. Moreover, at this critical juncture, everyone is sharing the meat. If you want to be upright, it will only cause more trouble... After a few years, it doesn't matter who you sell it to. Even if you don't want the money, you can donate it to Chongguang Church.

As for the annual dividends, I will help you exchange them for materials through the channels of the Security Bureau and Huangji, how about that?

As far as I know, the gap in materials needed for the study of the Nine Forms of the Elephant Sword is not ordinary. Ye Xian suffered a lot because of this. If you only rely on your channels, even with the Taiyi Ring and the Tianping Chamber of Commerce, many materials may be difficult to buy. "

Ji Jue remained silent and thought for a moment, without giving in or insisting.

"Then let's do it."

After all, who wouldn’t want to make money? Moreover, if a craftsman doesn’t take responsibility, manages the business, and just sits there and waits for dividends and materials every year, this is something he or she probably can’t refuse.

This is a disguised and stable sponsorship channel.

An investment that requires no return.

Now that things have been made so clear, if you continue to shirk responsibility, it would not only be hypocritical, but also shameless.

"Anything else?" Lv Yingyue smiled and continued, "You came to me so anxiously today, it's not just about the equity issue, right?"

Ji Jue sighed and laughed at himself. No wonder the teacher called him an old fox. It was too easy to control a player of Ji Jue's level.

Before he even opened his mouth, his purpose had probably been seen through.

He simply stopped trying to hide it and asked bluntly, "I heard that the first phase of Haichao's industrial park in Chaocheng is almost completed?"

This time, it was Lu Yingyue's turn to remain silent.

"Are you interested?"

She was slightly surprised. "That's great. I can talk to your teacher for you. If you have any ideas or need any positions, you're welcome."

For a master like Ji Jue who is a true disciple of Ye Xian and is almost certain to become one in the future, no company would be stingy with positions or power.

If Ji Jue really wants to throw himself into the sea tide, that would be great.

But if that was the case, why did he refuse the equity? It couldn't be such a superficial temptation, right?
"No, you may have misunderstood."

Ji Jue shook his head: "At this point, the overall situation has been determined. The rise of Haichao is unstoppable. In other words... the existence of the Coastal Automobile Factory is actually not important, right?"

"..."

After a moment of surprise, Lu Yingyue understood what he meant.

"Yes."

She picked up the teacup and said slowly, "However, even so, Coast is still one of the most important components of the Haichao Group. Even if the group will not focus on the automotive industry in the future, it will definitely not waste its current foundation."

Lu Yingyue reminded, "Everyone has invested a lot of money in it."

"I know."

Ji Jue nodded decisively, as if he didn't understand her implication, smiled, and suddenly asked: "But, is it just the car? What else?"

besides?

What else could there be?
In the silence, Lu Yingyue had so many doubts about this young man for the first time, until the moment she finally realized his purpose.

It dawned on me.

"……really."

She chuckled: "Anything else is unimportant."

What is left of the Coast Auto Works today besides the cars?
Tricycle! Tricycle! And a fucking tricycle!

Today in the automobile industry, although Hai'an has won awards, it can still only be regarded as a potential newcomer. But in the three-wheeled vehicle industry, Hai'an is a giant that has monopolized the entire Haizhou and even radiates in all directions!
Once peanuts and beans come out, who can compete with them under the dimensionality reduction attack? !

Nowadays, there is almost no room for other small factories in Haizhou to survive. Every newly produced tricycle has the word "Ji" written on it.

From the suburbs to the wilderness, like a tiny but endless colony of ants, it is everywhere and in all directions!

If anything is to be done, what could be a more suitable foundation than this?

Long before this, the production of tricycles had basically been separated from the coast, and all production was concentrated in the newly repaired subsidiary factory in Quancheng.

In that wilderness with only ruins left, there are many rich resources close by, equipment moved directly from the coast, countless junkmen and almost endless market demand.

There are no regulations, no constraints, no restrictions, and research and production can be carried out freely.

What seemed like tasteless chicken ribs to the giants was a blue ocean to Ji Jue!
Even if you have nothing, there are still endless possibilities.

There is no place more suitable for Ji Jue than this.

"If you want it, just take it, Ji Jue. No one will have any objections." Lu Yingyue smiled and assured: "You asked for too little. This is not even compensation."

"For me, that's enough."

After Ji Jue achieved his goal, he stood up and said goodbye with satisfaction.

However, before leaving, he heard Lu Yingyue's voice.

On the sofa, the slightly older woman turned around and looked at him with curiosity: "Ji Jue, if you want to achieve something, there are many things more suitable than a tricycle, right? Why choose this?"

"If I don't do it, Hai'an won't do it either, right?" Ji Jue asked back.

If he left, these things would eventually be packaged and divided, or sold to other people. In the end, when the association issued a ban, the peanuts and potatoes that had not been upgraded in design would become extinct. Not only the tricycle, but also the prosthetic limbs involved in Ji Jue, for such a project with no profit potential, instead of expecting others to invest heavily in upgrading and promoting it, why not give it a hand, even if it means making a few new models and designs?
Not only that, there are many other things he wants to do.

Now that I have started this, made a promise, and painted a small and fleeting dream for those people who are not cared about by others, I must always have a beginning and an end.

It doesn’t take much energy or investment anyway, so why not do it?

Besides...

"Just think of it as me wanting to make the world a better place."

After Ji Jue finished speaking, he was amused by such shameless words and shrugged: "Even if it doesn't get much better, it's not bad to be a little better."

After walking such a long way, doing so many things, and going around in circles, he suddenly found what he wanted to do.

Even though he might not do it well, even though the world is not good.

Even if it doesn't get much better, even if it can only get a little better...

Why not add a little more?
