Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 43 043 The opportunity has come! They cut off the power and I will supply it!

Lin Zhe's family has never experienced the situation where no one cares about the poor in a downtown area, but it seems to be true that when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.

Lin Zhe's parents have many brothers and sisters, and naturally many relatives.

The relationships in the family were pretty good, at least Lin Zhe felt that everyone in this big family had been getting along well with each other, except for a few aunts who liked to compare with others.

Now that I have become rich, these relatives visit me more frequently.

In the past, family gatherings were always held on holidays, but today it was instigated by my second father, and the theme was very clear, which was to celebrate Lin Zhe's success.

I had originally planned to have this meal a long time ago, but Lin Zhe kept putting it off.

Today is Friday, and after get off work everyone came to Lin Zhe's house to have fun together.

Lin Zhe has no aversion to these things. After all, almost everyone here is very nice to him. Blood relationship cannot be changed. Moreover, these family members have witnessed his success. At least in front of them, Lin Zhe will have a different sense of accomplishment.

Lin Zhe feels that vanity is something that does not need to be overcome at all. As long as one is not overly vain, there is no need to care about it. Why change something that is engraved in the genes?
I took out the key and pushed open the door, and the relatives who were already lively inside became even more lively.

"Xiaozhe is back."

"Come and sit down. The plums I just picked from my hometown are big and sweet. Come and have a taste."

"Wow~ I haven't seen Xiaozhe for a while. He looks a lot more handsome now."

……

Lin Zhe responded with a smile and a nod. After noticing this scene, Lin Zhengdong was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

Now that Lin Zhe was back, several aunts hurried to the kitchen to help prepare dinner.

When the food was served, Lin Zhengdong, as the eldest brother, was not stingy and directly opened a bottle of Wuliangye that he had treasured at home.

In the past, ordinary families were not considered rich, and they did not have Moutai, which costs thousands of dollars a bottle. But Lao Lin got a box of Wuliangye from somewhere in his early years.

He said he would open it when Lin Zhe got married, but today he opened a bottle to formally celebrate his son's success in his career.

After a few brief words, the whole family ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.

"I said Xiaozhe is the smartest one among the younger generation in our family. He has been smart since he was young."

"That's right. Xiaozhe has been tinkering with the idea of ​​starting a business since he was six years old. They have been doing a lot of things."

The adults were also very excited when talking about this matter, but Lin Zhe just smiled awkwardly.

He still remembers this incident, when a few kids were playing house and opened their own "tattoo shop". The little cousin who admired Haonan at the time spent more than ten yuan on credit in one day and had his entire back "tattooed" by Haonan using tattoo stickers that cost fifty cents a piece.

Although his cousin bought the goods on credit, Lin Zhe still hasn't received the money.

But I still remember clearly the screams I heard from downstairs at my cousin’s house that night. My cousin was beaten up by my second aunt. In the middle of winter, he was rubbing his back with a hard brush in the bathroom, crying and saying, “I’ll never do that again.”

Hearing the noise, six-year-old Lin Zhe did not dare to go up. His hot-tempered second aunt had also scolded him for this matter.

But now that I have become successful, the bad things I did when I was a child have naturally become "glorious deeds", which are evidence that I have been smart and thoughtful since I was young.

But my cousin didn’t come today. He is now a firefighter in a city thousands of kilometers away from home.

Now that I think about it, judging from the results, I may not have done anything bad. After all, my cousin had poor grades and was not a good student. At least the "beating" that year made him lose the desire to get a tattoo, which allowed him to join the army and become a glorious firefighter.

……

Listening to his family members talking about their childhood, Lin Zhe was also thinking about these things when suddenly it became dark across the window.

Opposite the window is a new residential area. Every night when the residents turn on the lights in their homes, their lights can be shone into Lin Zhe and his friends' direction. Old Lin is quite unhappy about this. As the bedroom faces that direction and the curtains are not drawn, it is often bright and dazzling.

The tall building that was bright just now suddenly went dark. Lin Zhe knew what was going on without even thinking about it. He stood up and walked to the window to look out. Except for Lin Zhe's neighborhood, the rest of the area was dark, accompanied by the shouting and cursing of some people from the neighboring neighborhood.

After noticing this scene, Lin Zhe immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.

……

Soon after Lin Zhe made the call, billboards in some residential areas lit up. The bright billboards stood out particularly in the dim surroundings.

The most obvious thing on these lighted billboards is the four words "Zhetong Electric Power", followed by the slogan below.

"Zhetong Power, Lighting Up Your Future"

There is also a line of words below, "We promise that the power will never be cut off!"

Lincheng Power dare not turn off the lights on the street. This is related to the municipal government. In addition, it is impossible to turn off the lights on the official building in the west of the city.

Once there is a power shortage, the first areas where Lincheng Power will shut down are the communities.

Therefore, Lin Zhe specially arranged to install these lighted billboards in the advertising spaces of each community, as well as in the streets of each residential area.

Now there was nothing ordinary people could do if they didn't pay attention, after all, everything was dark except for the bright billboard of Zhetong Electric Power Supply.

In addition, there are users of Zhetong Electric Power, whose homes are also brightly lit at this moment, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding neighbors.

……

The driver who had visited Lin Zhe's shop before was now having dinner at home.

Taxi drivers naturally have later meals than most people, and they don’t eat until after eight o’clock when they get home.

Turn on the TV and watch the game while eating, and then have a bottle of beer to relieve the tiring day.

While we were having dinner, my wife called.

"Lao Liu, there's a power outage. Remember to take out the vegetables in the refrigerator first. Don't leave them there all night and turn them rancid."

Frozen meat can last for one night, but some vegetables in the refrigerator can easily spoil if there is no power overnight. It is better to put them in a ventilated place outside since it is not hot now.

After hearing what his wife said, Lao Liu subconsciously stood up and went to the kitchen refrigerator, but after staring at the TV for a moment, he sat down again.

"Power outage? No, by the way, you may not know that I replaced the power supply of Zhetong Electricity for our house some time ago. They said at the beginning that there would be no power outages. It's true. I looked around the entire community and only our house had lights on."

While I was talking to my wife, there was another knock on the door.

"Lao Liu! Lao Liu! Open the door, I'm Lao Li downstairs. My son was registering for an exam on his computer and there was a power outage. I saw that your house was on and I came to your computer to use it!"

After hanging up the phone, while Lao Liu and his son were signing up in front of the computer, the driver took a look at the community group chat and saw that many people were tagging him.

"Why is the power on in Liu's house when the whole neighborhood is out?"

"Is there a diesel generator at home? That would be too awesome."

"No, it seems that Lao Liu changed to Zhetong Electric Power some time ago. It's the new power company in Lincheng. The business hall is very impressive."

"If I had known earlier, I would have switched to Zhetong Electric. This power outage is really annoying..."

What people fear most is comparison. If everyone had a power outage, it would be fine. They would just complain.

But they had a power outage, so I couldn't watch TV late at night, the washing machine stopped halfway through washing, and the computer screen went black during team play. It was really annoying.

Then I compared it with the lights on in some houses in the community, which made me even more upset.
