After feeding the Lilliputian Kingdom, I became rich through plane trading

Chapter 58: Making Trouble in Lilliput Country
The man who came out to speak was Yuan Bin, deputy director of the Emergency Materials Management Department.

He has always been at odds with the Pei family.

Jiang Maochuan, who was sentenced to death for murdering the Pei brothers, was his brother-in-law.

It was Yuan Bin who made it possible for Jiang Maochuan to join the super bodyguard group and become its deputy leader.

He believed that the Pei family was too powerful and wealthy and should be subject to strict official supervision.

Jiang Maochuan is the spy who was placed in the Pei family. He receives a million-dollar annual salary and a mansion from the Pei family, but he is actually an official spy.

The top leader and the second-in-command, Director Ye, did not agree with this, but some people in the upper echelons were indeed wary of the Pei family. After much struggle, Jiang Maochuan's entry into the bodyguard group became tacitly approved.

The Pei family has Pei Kejian, a powerful senior official in the military, and a world-famous super enterprise in the business world.

The government has been supporting the Pei family for more than a hundred years, and the Pei family has deeply tied the fate of the entire family to this country.

For such an extraordinary enterprise, every move will cause huge turmoil.

Even the health status of the head of the Pei family can significantly affect the rise and fall of the stock market.

In the past, when Jiang Maochuan was around, Yuan Bin secretly made a lot of money by relying on inside information.

Now that Jiang Maochuan has been punished, Yuan Bin not only loses his informant to fleece him, but also has to face the crying and resentment of his widowed sister.

The two sides have become mortal enemies.

At this moment, seeing that his colleagues in the office trusted the Pei family so much, Yuan Bin was of course very annoyed.

He came over, glanced coldly at the cake on the table, and said to Director Ye:
"How can a country as big as science and technology be deceived by such a stupid trick? Even if the Pei family really brought back something, it's still unclear whether it's a god or a ghost! Old Ye, you are too careless."

Director Ye looked at him calmly and said:
“A cat that can catch mice is a good cat, whether it’s black or white. As long as it can bring supplies and rain to the north, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a god or a ghost. For the common people of this land, the one who can save all living beings is the true god.”

Everyone in the office nodded in agreement:

"The door gods Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao are both famous generals who really existed in history. The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing and Guan Yu, the Saintly Emperor of Guan, were also deified by later generations. The boundary between gods and ghosts is not absolutely isolated in our cultural tradition."

"As long as the supplies and fresh water are in place, I can even build a golden body for the one in heaven!"

"Deputy Director Yuan, slippers are now a scarce industrial product, so please be careful when eating them."

No one in the office was on his side.

Yuan Bin was so angry when he saw this that he angrily said:
"Then I'll wait and see how the Pei family resolves this situation! If they can't come up with anything, I'll hold a meeting to try Pei Yan!"

After saying that, he walked back to the office with a grim look on his face.

Director Ye ignored him and directly assigned tasks to his subordinates in the office:

"Notify all residents of Dongcheng District to prepare for the rain between 8 and 10 p.m., and issue a formal document to Tianjin, asking them to make arrangements as soon as possible."

Everyone in the office received the order, took the cake and returned to their posts, continuing to work overtime to complete the work.

However, the atmosphere was no longer as warm as it was at the beginning, but instead was tinged with some worry.

Although Yuan Bin's words were unpleasant to hear, they also poured cold water on everyone.

If you calm down and think about it, it is normal to remain vigilant before you see real supplies and rain.

They have been disappointed too many times.

I hope a miracle really happens this time.

Outside the bookcase, Yunzhen was preparing for the evening rain.

The humidifier and electric water sprayer she bought online would take a few days to arrive, so she went to the hardware store to buy water pipes and a shower head.

It takes about ten meters to run a water pipe from the bathroom to the study.

The water pipe that comes with the shower head is not long enough, so you can only buy a few more and connect them together.

This combination looked very strange, and the owner of the hardware store seemed to be hesitant to speak. When she checked out, he tactfully told her that although the water pipes were of good quality, they were not strong enough, so she should not use them to hang heavy objects.

Yunzhen didn't know what the boss was thinking, so he could only reply:
"Don't worry, I won't use this hose to hang myself or climb rocks!"

Hardware store owner: “…”

What to do if I am even more worried!
Yunzhen bought the materials and went home, and after dinner he started assembling them with great interest.

This was a very important attempt for her.

After all, she has lived for 26 years and has never poured water on others and then had them thank her.

With excitement on her face, she installed the water pipe and tested the water flow.

Feeling ok, I sat down and waited.

As soon as 8 o'clock comes, we will make some trouble in Lilliput!

7:40 pm, Dongcheng District, Beidu.

After the authorities announced the rain at 6 p.m., the residents here became agitated.

Many people don’t quite understand why the authorities would issue such a notice.

If it is artificial rainfall, there must be enough cumulonimbus clouds first.

The sky in Beijing has been clear for two months, and the air is as hot and dry as a high-temperature oven.

Not to mention clouds, the air humidity is pitifully low!
How can it rain in this situation?

And it landed so accurately in Dongcheng District?

Most people don’t believe it, but they still come out to see what’s going on with the mentality of “nothing to lose by waiting and seeing”.

Some people even brought empty buckets, ready to catch water as it came.

Master Zhao is an electrician who lives in a civilian apartment on the edge of Dongcheng District.

After the end of the world, the pressure of life increased. He worked hard every day to support his family, and he had obviously lost a lot of weight.

He also came downstairs today with two empty buckets.

I also moved a small stool and sat in an open space waiting.

He was the only one in the family who had an air-conditioned room. His wife and children could not come out, so they could only wait for news in the house anxiously.

Not far away, Master Wang, my colleague and neighbor, was also there.

The two of them just sat together, chatting while waiting.

Master Wang looked at the unchanged sky, frowned and sighed, "It's too hot today, my belt is about to be cooked."

Master Zhao raised his head and looked at several large water trucks driving near the apartment building.

He said half expectantly and half doubtfully, "Do you think it will rain today? Are they driving the truck here to use it to bring rain or to collect water?"

Master Wang followed his gaze.

I saw a group of staff members coming down from the water truck, carrying machines and busily setting up the venue.

It doesn't look like it's about creating artificial rainfall, but rather about receiving rainwater.

His eyes lit up slightly, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart: "I don't know, I hope he is here to get water too."

The authorities have sent people to collect water, which means the rainfall is most likely real.

But anyone with a little common sense knows that it is impossible for natural rainfall to occur in this kind of weather.

So how does the rain at 8 o'clock occur?
Could it be that the legendary dragon god will come out to create clouds and rain?
