"That's okay, Councilor Zhou Ming, I'll make up 100 million for you and pay it back to the district first, do you think this will work?"

Locke's face was angry, but his voice was still low.

"It's not that I won't help you, Mr. Locke, the other councillors already have opinions, if you really can't get it back, sell part of the resort, so that at least half of it will be repaid, otherwise what do you want me to do, if the people in the area know about this matter, there will be a lot of pressure on our side."

Locke snorted dullly, sweat oozed from his forehead, Locke only went to the district authority office last month to talk, but he didn't expect the district authority to ask them to pay back the money today.

"What's wrong Locke!"

Next to him, a skilled worker about the same age as Locke was squatting on the ground smoking a cigarette, and Locke lowered his head and the phone was already disconnected.

"The councillor wants us back."

"At this juncture, I'm afraid it's not accidental."

Locke nodded, he has lived for a century, and he naturally knows very well that the parliamentarians are suddenly asking him to pay back the money, and he naturally knows what kind of tricks are in it.

The annual tax revenue of District 19 is about 1.3 billion, and now they have a debt of up to 4 billion yuan to the district authority, of which nearly 1 billion is the interest generated after the interest over the years, since more than 20 years ago, Locke has been borrowing money from the district authority, because every time he goes to 7 departments to borrow money, he always has the qualifications that cannot pass the examination, so he naturally can't borrow money.

The only way is to mortgage the family's land, but the farms of the family in the northeast have been mortgaged before, and they were directly included in the category of grain base after being checked by the administrative department as early as 10 years ago, which is the last land of their family.

At this time, Locke's heart continued to overflow with sourness, and the technician next to him stood up, patted Locke's shoulder comfortingly, and he turned around and walked up.

"If you do sell everything here, what are you going to do Locke?"

"It's not going to happen."

Locke replied resolutely, and walked briskly down the ramp.

......

Fei Li's eyes were red, and her head was very messy, but she was still looking at the contents of the notebook, and at this time there was no movement on it, and the surroundings seemed extremely silent, and unconsciously, tears overflowed again.

What Letty said to herself just now was right, obviously she was conscious and wanted to protect the family, but when she went to the district power office with her grandfather this year, the councillor proposed a family matter, hoping that she would marry the son of a merchant, but Fei Li refused, and as a result, this year Grandpa not only did not borrow money, but also sold a large number of shops opposite the manor.

The reason why Fei Li wants to take the entrance examination is that she hopes to be able to enter the 7th department, climb up in a short time, accumulate contacts, and first let the family borrow money from the debts of the district authority through her own connections, and plug the hole first, but it is too late.

Fei Li's heart is very messy, she keeps wiping her tears, the family is going to be finished, this is what Fei Li is most worried about now, once the district authority clears the debt, they can only unconditionally sell the land and facilities of Phoebus Manor to repay the debt, last year, there were councilors from the district authority office with professional appraisers to come to the field to valuation, their estate is worth about 3 billion.

Drip, drip, drip

Fei Li's phone rang.

"What's wrong with Grandpa?"

"Fei Li, please over there, Councilor Zhou Ming is coming over, grandpa will come over in person, he wants us to pay off the debt."

Fei Li's eyes widened, almost crying in a hurry, after the phone hung up, Fei Li tied up her hair and looked at the stairs going up, at this time the stairs seemed to be twisted, she felt unprecedented pressure, but Fei Li still stepped up the stairs.

.......

"Jewell, why did you wake up?"

Luxi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the relevant knowledge of the law and some cases, and Jewell yawned and climbed out of bed.

"Woke up hungry!"

Lu Xi smiled softly and immediately took out a piece of cake from the insulation device next to him, Jewell immediately devoured it, drank a glass of water, got up and jumped directly into the bathroom, Lu Xi followed, helping Jewell wipe his back.

"Jean, that bastard, should be playing happily in the women's pile now, I'm going to eat seafood, at least about 300,000 to relieve my hatred!"

Lu Xi sneered.

"Jewell, someone just said that whatever you want only needs a phone call, it's all free, and the Phoebus family is really rich."

Jewell laughed contemptuously.

"Rich?"

Lu Xi looked puzzled, and Jewell stood up and straightened up the blonde hair on his shawl.

"It's better to forget it, it's as much as it should be, after all, they are not having a good time now!"

Jewell used to come with his parents when he was a child, and at that time there were not so many facilities in their house, but a large number of cars were parked, and it was true that the Phoebus family was very generous, and still retained some of the habits of the nobility, but unfortunately now they are just slapping the swollen face and rushing at the fat man.

"Let's go eat some steamed crab first, the crab meat is dipped in soy sauce and mustard, and it tastes very good."

Lu Xi nodded happily, it was the first time she had eaten it, and Jewell sighed.

"If you want to eat it, just ask someone from Section 1 to buy it for you later."

"That's not good, Jewell, I'll buy it myself."

After Jewell used the steamer dryer to dry the water on his body, he instantly changed into clothes with his bracelet.

"Whatever you want."

3:28 a.m

At the gate of Phoebus Manor, several councillors with orange epaulettes, accompanied by a large number of bodyguards, walked in, and the attendants had already begun to welcome and guide, led by a middle-aged man with broad and flat cheeks, who looked seventy or eighty years old and was very tall, he was Zhou Ming, the representative of the councillors of District 19.

In addition to the more than 20 mutant bodyguards with A-class badges, there are also many people with ruler logos on their shoulders, they are wearing light blue uniforms, and they are from the measurement company.

The uniforms of all walks of life in the city are the same, with easy-to-understand logos, so you can tell at a glance what the other party does.

A large number of people walked towards Hotel No. 1 on the left, and after a while, Zhou Ming walked into the lobby of Hotel No. 1 with more than 50 people, Locke was already waiting, and his two grandsons were also there.

"Thank you Councilor Zhou Ming."

Locke bowed, some waiters next to him hurriedly made a gesture of please, Zhou Ming sat directly in the middle of a wide sofa in the middle of the sofa area, others sat down one after another, Locke took his grandson and sat opposite Zhou Ming.

"Councilor Zhou Ming, can you give me a period of grace? At the end of the year, I will find a way to repay the 500 million first. ”

Zhou Ming shook his head with his hands folded, his expression serious and serious.

"Our district's tax revenue has decreased a lot recently, and a large part of it is because of the relationship between your resort hotels, and the benefits in the district have been decreasing year by year over the years, and the citizens have been complaining, Mr. Locke, please pay back at least 1.5 billion this month."

"Isn't this tantamount to our lives?"

Collison couldn't sit still, Locke smiled and pressed his grandson to signal him not to speak, and Ronnie smiled and stood up and bowed.

"I'm sorry everyone, my brother just lost his respect, Councilor Zhou Ming, our family does owe a lot of money, but now we have a way to pay back all the money, so okay, what do you think by the end of next month?"

Zhou Ming shook his head, and under the gesture of his eyes, a councilor next to him called up a light and shadow screen, and the benefits of medical care, education, and public facilities are decreasing year by year, and the current trust of citizens in the district authority has fallen to 61% every month.

"It's not that we can't wait, but there is really no way, this year our district has got more than 1,000 newborn places, and the medical education benefits of these newborns need at least 100 million, plus the subsidy for residents' electricity, after all, the facilities in your hotel, in addition to the hotel house, other resort facilities do not have photoelectric conversion coatings, your hotel's monthly electricity use has been overrun, and the electricity subsidy given to you every month is a large amount of money, and the power supply station has submitted a protest application to the Congress, I've pressed it down. ”

Locke bowed his head and said thank you.

Zhou Ming sighed.

"Not to mention that at least 1 billion should be repaid first, the interest part can not be counted, sell part of the eastern part of your hotel and transform it into an ordinary resort hotel, which is also a great benefit to the region, and the rest can be repaid slowly."

"Don't go too far."

Immediately Collison stood up menacingly, and Zhou Ming stared at the young man coldly and laughed.

"Young people, don't be so angry, please find out that you owe us money from the district authority, and we didn't force you to borrow money at that time, you voluntarily borrowed money and signed the contract."

Zhou Ming's attitude became tougher, and at this time he stood up, and some of the surveyors behind him followed the staff of many district power offices and turned around directly, intending to go out to conduct on-the-spot area measurement and value estimation.

Collison rushed over angrily and pulled the door of the hotel directly, Locke looked at his grandson with a solemn face, and several mutant bodyguards walked over.

"Fuck off, or don't blame me for being unkind."

Collison looked angrily at a few mutant bodyguards who wanted to pull him away, and slammed his fists directly into him.

bang

Collison's fist was caught by a mutant bodyguard and thrown out, the door opened, and a group of people walked out.

"Is there really no way? Councilor Zhou Ming, or did you receive instructions from above? ”

"I don't want to, Mr. Locke, we're having a hard time this month, don't worry, we'll sell it for a good price."

Locke was silent as Collison roared and got up from the ground and rushed over, Ronnie hurried over to stop him, but Collison had already chased after him.

Locke is still thinking of a way, but it seems that there is no way to do it, the east is the sunniest place, once it is sold, many customers may choose that place to stay, and his business will be cut off.

Jewell was strolling along the trail with Luxi, at this time he heard a roar from the path not far from the sea, and many people were watching, and after seeing some red particles, Jewell immediately understood that there were mutants fighting.

"Forget it, it's better to go over and take a look, although I'm the section chief, I'm a person from the department!"
