Tang Lin went to Shang Tang for the second time, but this time he was much more low-key than the last time. Although he now has a real billionaire halo around his head, the first time was with Chu Feifei, and this time it was with himself.

Walk alone.

Tang Lin has been protected by professionals since he was fatally attacked, but this time he didn't even take Yang Qin with him. At least it was not Yang Qin who drove the car but himself, with his luggage and handbag in the back seat, alone.

Lonely and alone, he walked forward with a calm expression.

Of course the car is not the bulletproof Q7, but the very old Poussin.

Compared with a car as expensive and delicate as the Q7, an old car like the Lao Poussin with a ride height comparable to an off-road vehicle is more suitable for the road conditions and environment of Shangtang.

Liang Bo's songs came from the CD that came with the car. Recently, he likes to listen to the songs of this young man who is even younger than him. Although his own songs are still a bit green and childish, he just likes his clean but beautiful songs.

There is a hoarse voice at key moments. And this young man's songs are always positive, positive in the name of rock and roll.

This is rare, because the impression given by rock music is more of anger and hysteria, or at least it should be resistance and venting.

The expression on Tang Lin's face was very quiet, and the speed of the car was neither too fast nor too slow. He finally returned to being a real ordinary person at this time. Except for Yue Duo, no one in Shangtang County knew the specific date of his report. Even the Ministry of Armed Forces

No one knows.

He doesn't need anyone to pick him up, because he is just an ordinary young person who is an officer of the Ministry of Armed Forces. To be honest, this position is really very low and very low for him, because even if he changes his career as a Black Panther, his identity and position are

It must be much higher than it is now. At least he can hold important positions in relevant key departments directly under the international administration.

The reason is simple, Black Panther itself has this strength.

But now he has the Minister of Armed Forces and the Deputy Minister above him, and there are three more senior officers of the Armed Forces in front of him. He is ranked last in the entire Armed Forces. This is not the position in other people's minds, but his current inner position.

, I have to say that at this moment, his heart is far more at ease and calmer than when he went to Zhongqiang Village.

Yue Duo was still waiting for him quietly at the entrance of the road. She knew that he liked to keep a low profile, so she didn't even drive the car, but took the bus to the intersection and waited for him quietly.

Because the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces does not have a staff dormitory at the gate, it is located together with the county government's staff dormitory. The accommodation situation is quite tight. However, no matter how low-key Tang Lin himself was, Zhou Qiang, the Minister of Human Resources and Armed Forces, would never fail to arrange a room for him.

The problem is that there are two premises here. First, Zhou Qiang thought that Tang Lin would rent a house by himself, because the condition of the county government employee dormitory was really bad. It was in the yard of an abandoned primary school less than 1,000 meters away from the county government building.

The vicissitudes of life on the second floor have less than 20 rooms in total. Each room is only 10 square meters. There are public toilets and public showers. There is no separate kitchen. If you want to cook, you can only put up a shelf in the narrow corridor.

Put a gas tank or something.

The bathroom is the most primitive squat toilet, and the shower room is only 10 square meters, with a few rusty shower heads. In fact, there are 5 shower heads in total, four of which are broken, and the water flows directly from the rusty iron pipes.

Take a shower. And only provide hot water for 2 hours a day.

This is not the most fatal thing. Because of the shortage of rooms, some people live in a room with two or even four people. Therefore, those with better conditions will rent a house outside. After all, if Shang Tang rents an ordinary old building, it will cost 50 or 60 years.

Square meters, at most, it's just over 300 yuan a month. Even in a poor place like Shangtang, it's not that much.

Secondly, the last time Tang Lin came over, he stayed in Yue Duo's luxurious room, which was more comfortable than the villa, and he also paid the rent. Even if he didn't rent a house outside, he would continue to rent a house in Yue Duo. Put aside all the rumors

Regardless of the chaotic relationship, Tang Lin is still a patient, Yue Duo's patient. Therefore, it is normal and necessary for him to live directly in Yue Duo's house.

But Tang Lin didn't think so. He stopped the car and saw Yue Duo, who was dressed casually but not tanned. He waved his hand for her to get in the car.

"Don't you even have a tan? Huang Ying looks like she just came back from Africa." Tang Lin joked easily, at least he was more relaxed than Yue Duo imagined. It seems that this guy is low-key, but

It's normal, not overkill or overcorrecting.

"I'm okay. In fact, I'm a lot darker. Maybe my skin is not white before, so it's not obvious. Go to my place first. The room has been tidied up for you. If you don't think it's appropriate, then I'll also go to my place.

The community has found a suitable rental house for you and renovated a new house that no one has ever lived in, because the owner's family is actually not in Shangtang, but his hometown is in Shangtang, and he does not plan to come back in the future."

"I know you are very different from the last time you came here, but Tang Lin, first of all, you are a patient, and now I am first your doctor and then your boss. Although I am not the supervisor, there is no doubt that I am your boss. So no matter what

You must obey my arrangements from the perspective of a patient or a subordinate. You must be within my control and care. Besides, you are a billionaire now, and everyone even knows about Shang and Tang Dynasties, so don’t say that you are in

Renting a house in my community is not a problem even if I just buy a few houses. Is there any problem with my arrangement?"

Tang Lin shook his head directly, "No, I'm going to live in the dormitory. Zhou Qiang should have arranged a single dormitory for me, one room per person. The conditions are pretty good." Yue Duo looked at him speechlessly, "What are you going to do?

You'd better think clearly. If you rent a house in a single dormitory now, it will be more of an eyesore than if you rent a house in my community, because almost everyone, including me, will think that you are just acting on the occasion and doing superficial things.

It's just an article. No one will think that you just want to do your current position and work well. Am I clear enough?"

What Yue Duo said makes sense, and it was by no means an arrogance, nor did she have any personal thoughts about him. Not to mention the minister and deputy minister of the Ministry of Human Resources, even Wang Zirui, Du Wenqing and Zhang Bo did not live in the staff dormitory. Wang Zirui and

Du Wenqing is a local, and Wang Zirui’s family is in the county seat, so he lives back home. Du Wenqing’s family is from the very remote Xinwang Village, so he and Zhang Bo from Linxian County rented a two-bedroom apartment of 70 square meters outside.

The house is pretty good, it costs 450 a month, and the rent for two people sharing it equally is just over 200, which is pretty good.

The staff dormitory is low and humid. There is no heating in the winter, and it leaks in the summer. It is very inconvenient to bathe, cook, and go to the toilet. I would only live there unless it was really difficult and absolutely necessary.

So if Tang Lin really insists on living in the staff dormitory, it would be a bit pretentious.

Tang Lin did not waver. It seemed that he had made up his mind before coming. Yue Duo had to persuade further, "Do you know who lives in the staff dormitory? They are all from the lowest level of the local family with poor conditions."

Temporary workers basically make up the majority of clerks and temporary workers. Regular clerks usually just stay there temporarily, and then find someone to share the house with even if they don't rent a house by themselves. You've never been there, but

The conditions there are definitely worse than you imagined, and basic life cannot be guaranteed. You are currently recovering and are not suitable for that environment at all."

Tang Lin still did not waver, and the car was also heading towards the county government. Yue Duo did not stop him, because his character would definitely report it first when he arrived.

"So it's really not appropriate for me to live in the dormitory?" Tang Lin finally showed a hint of wavering on his face. Yue Duo quickly seized the opportunity and nodded, "It's not appropriate at all. You think you are being very low-key when you open Lao Poussin, but

After all, you can be considered a car owner, right? Car owners are still living in employee dormitories. Let’s put it this way, even people who don’t know how much you are worth will think there is something wrong with your head.”

Tang Lin nodded slightly, "But your community is the best in the county, right? It's not a problem for me to rent a house there, but it's still too high-profile, right? You forgot that I told you on the phone that I am now a

As an ordinary civil servant, I just want to do my job quietly and low-key and fulfill my responsibilities. So, other than your community, is there any one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment that is neither high-end nor exclusive, neither new nor old?

Where is the living room?”

Yue Duo knew that it was not easy for this guy to change his mind, so he couldn't care about whether to live in the same community with her. After thinking about it, he thought, "Wanxing Community opposite Qingcaoyuan is fine. The house is about seven or eight years old, six or seven."

A small apartment of ten square meters is quite easy to rent. The rent is about 500 yuan a month. If calculated on an annual basis, the price can be negotiated to about 5,000 yuan. But if it has been renovated and has never been lived in, it will cost 6,000 yuan anyway.

This difference. I know that there are mysophobia in the yellow market, so you also have mysophobia now, you won’t even save the 1,000 yuan, right?"

Yue Duo also started to tease him, because she really felt that she hadn't seen this man for a long time, and a lot of things had happened recently, and there had been a lot of changes. But Tang Lin seemed to always see a different side, he

Yue Duo immediately talked about his own affairs, "Wait a minute, let's not talk about the house for now. You, the deputy secretary, don't seem to have any majesty? You haven't adapted to your current position, right?"

Yue Duo was stunned for a moment, but then nodded melancholy, "Yes, you are right. In fact, the only thing I have done in the past three months is to accompany the research team of Huang City. I have not been in the county much.

And I have to go back to the hospital to deal with various things whenever I have time. So this transition period is longer than I thought. Sometimes I even wonder if my father is wrong. Do I really have a future in the officialdom?

But the good news is that after Yue Qing became the acting county magistrate, he started to bother me less. Speaking of his official airs, he has a pretty good reputation now.

Do you feel uncomfortable when you say this?"

Tang Lin still shook his head, "No, it's something that should happen normally. After all, Shang Tang is not my Shang Tang. I'm just an officer of the Ministry of Armed Forces who just came here to report."

What Yue Duo didn't expect was that Tang Lin drove his car to the county government but did not go in. Instead, he circled around twice and then drove to Qingcaoyuan in the opposite direction.

"What do you mean? Are you kidding me?" Yue Duo couldn't help asking. Tang Lin smiled faintly, "No, I didn't plan to report today. When I report, I will start working officially, so before reporting, I have to

I've taken care of my own logistics. Now I'm going to rent a house. Do you think it's better for you to come forward or not to come forward in the community opposite your home? Although the rumors about me have passed, I think my reputation is definitely good now.

No, if I appear with you, will it have a relatively large negative impact on you?"

Yue Duo was a little angry after hearing this, because Tang Lin knew that she didn't care about these rumors, but why did he deliberately adopt such a gesture? Is it because he didn't trust her? Fortunately, her temper has been worn away in the past few months.

Quite a bit, so she took a deep breath and her expression was not so serious, "Your relationship with me has always been upright. When you come to Shangtang to report, I will help you find a house, treat you to a meal, and give you a check-up.

It's a normal thing. If I hide from you everywhere, it means that there is something wrong in my heart. There is no three hundred taels of silver here. Since you are looking for a house, it's still early, so you should settle on the house first and then eat.

.And it’s not cost-effective to find an agent. If one less person knows your situation, you’ll be safer. You can just go directly to the community and look for it. Many homes have rental and sales numbers posted on their windows.”

Tang Lin was a little surprised by this, because he didn't look at Yue Duo as a woman who knew how to live her life, but now he gave her a little surprise. So the car drove directly into the gate of Wanxing Community. There was a special guard room and road at the gate.

Foreign vehicles need to board the gate to enter, but the big sign is placed there, and the management is not that strict.

Maybe one is that Tang Lin drives the old Poussin that is everywhere on the street, and the other is that the old Poussin has switched to Zhongzhou to take photos, otherwise it turns out that the old man's photos in this car are too high-profile and scary.

People in the local area who didn't know it thought he was crazy and dared to use the number plate directly under Jiujing City to show off.

The car entered smoothly. Tang Lin compared the previous impression of Qingcao Garden in his mind. It has to be said that the environment is at least twice as bad as that of Qingcao Garden. But it's not that bad, it's just not as beautiful and tidy compared to Qingcao Garden. If you were calmer,

, at least the houses in the community are relatively new, and the distance between the houses is large. The green space downstairs is not small. You can also see various welfare lottery fitness equipment, children's playground, and even a Wanxing Community Club, a

It is a three-story place. According to Yue Duo, you can also swim, play table tennis, badminton and basketball, and there is also a Wanxing fitness club.

This suits Tang Lin quite well.

Tang Lin parked the car in a public parking space, and then he and Yue Duo raised their necks to look for rental advertisements on the windows. But things didn't seem to be as easy as Yue Duo imagined. First, there weren't many rental advertisements, and then occasionally

Several calls were made that either the house was large in square meters or the house was simply decorated. The so-called simple decoration means that there was basically no decoration, just the bathroom and kitchen were casually decorated, and then the walls were painted white.

Of course, this kind of house is still inappropriate. Since he has decided not to live in the staff dormitory, Yue Duo is right. Tang Lin himself has begun to have mysophobia. He doesn't mind spending an extra 1,000 yuan to rent a house that has been renovated and no one has lived in it.

new house.

An hour later, the two of them walked around Wanxing Community with their heads raised and maintaining this posture, but they did not find the house they were looking for.

Yue Duo rubbed his sore neck, "Why don't you go to my house to eat first instead of eating outside, take a rest, and then come out to look for it. If that doesn't work, I'll call a few friends to see if they know who is here in Wanxing.

The house that has been renovated but not lived in needs to be rented out.”

Tang Lin raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already past 12 noon. Qiu Laohu was very energetic. Yue Duo had spent so much time with him in the sun, so he could only nod in agreement.
