Meng Fei planned to settle down like this and not bother anymore.
He decided that no matter how the situation in this other world changed, he would stick to the most ordinary trajectory of the most ordinary human beings.
Make money, buy a house, marry a wife, have children, raise children, retire, and die of old age.
The first and third steps have been unexpectedly achieved ahead of schedule, so let’s start with the second step.
In order to buy a house, Ai Ting carefully studied a lot of information. Including the planning of the entire Wutong City subway, the distribution of educational resources, the perfection of supporting measures, and whether the roads are congested.
However, all her research results were instantly thrown out of the window. Because Meng Fei coaxed her to go for a run in Repulse Bay Garden with a few words, the matter was settled immediately.
Meng Fei came here because this was the first and only villa complex he had seen in Wutong City.
The clay-colored exterior walls full of gluttonous Western style, the meandering creeks, the ponds filled with water lilies, and the quiet small gardens under the shade of trees all attracted Ai Ting's attention.
This is completely opposite to the overly gorgeous house that Ai Yun built for her on Zhangdao, and it was heavily pink in color and gave off a pretentious look.
And a single-family villa is so cheap at only 12 million?
Forgot to look at transportation, forget to look at schools, and forget to look at supporting facilities. For girls, as long as they look good, they are satisfied.
Next, comes the annoying decoration. This is one of the few problems that can be solved without spending money.
Of course you can pay a high price to hire a designer, a decoration company, or a supervisor to take care of everything, but in the end your preferences are still yours.
It is impossible for others to know what colors you like, what kind of floor and sofa you like, nor do they know whether you like showers or baths, let alone whether you like curling up on the sofa and reading a book or lying in bed.
What's even worse for women is that they don't know what they want, and they always find out something is wrong after they've finished pretending.
During this period, Meng Fei suddenly discovered that the books Ai Ting read had changed from "The Rise and Fall of Zhongzhou" to "Home Decoration from Beginner to Master", "Remodeling Dreamers: Decoration Ideas from Chiwu" and "Creating Children's Independent Learning Residential".
If you don’t understand something, buy a book first. This is the style of conduct that has been adhered to from Ai Ting to the goddess. The question is, is it better to believe in all the books than to have no books at all? In particular, some domestic authors’ books are purely copy-and-paste to make money.
The renovation of the villa took a long time and could not be completed in less than half a year. During this period, Meng Fei and his wife still lived in the office of Mu Entang.
They are only suspended without pay, not suspended from their jobs. The offices that could have been used can still be used.
This place is right in the city center, with the business district just outside. It's elegant and quiet, and there are no annoying dancing ladies in the open spaces of ordinary communities.
The Internet speed is fast and there is never any lag when watching movies. Utilities and electricity bills are free, and there is a canteen so you don’t have to cook. No rent required. Where can I find such a good place?
Of course, they could rent a better place if they had money, but for most of the year, they were too lazy to look for it. The disease of poverty can be cured, but the disease of laziness cannot be cured.
Since the two of them could not resign and did not work, the Wutong City Superpower Bureau naturally had to be left alone. So another expert was sent to parachute over.
The first time he saw this person in Munentang, Meng Fei was stunned for a long time, unable to react for a moment, and almost thought he was going back in time.
This man is about forty or fifty years old, tall and imposing, with a pair of light gray eyes that are very rare among Qingmang people. His complexion is fair, he has a mustache that shows his maturity, his face is long and narrow, and his expression is capable.
But Meng Fei almost blurted out: "Apart from the fact that the color of your eyes has changed and I don't know if you are wearing contact lenses, aren't you the same Li Shibai who was eaten by the God of Death?"
Theoretically, if Li Shibai was eaten as a sacrifice by the God of Death, his soul would also become a part of the God of Death. Fortunately, not long after Death ate him, he was taken out of Death's consciousness by Suzaku.
Although he was seriously infected by the consciousness of the God of Death at the time, it seems that after the restart and cleansing of reincarnation, he has returned to his original state and is back on the road to glory and prosperity.
Meng Fei even wondered whether this guy's superpowers would remain the same and remain "forbidden" and "replaced"?
But even if he was reincarnated, he should have ended up somewhere unknown. Why did he meet him here again? Could this be the legendary "ape dung"?
“Time is like a spiral staircase, people from the past will meet again.”
He really didn't expect that these people would include this person named Li!
Seeing Meng Fei's stunned eyes, Li Shibai didn't have any weird reaction. Instead, he smiled gently, took two steps quickly and stretched out his hand to shake Meng Fei's hand:
"Are you the famous Expert Meng? I have admired you for a long time. I am the new deputy director of Wutong City's Superpower Bureau, and my name is Li Huo."
Then he extended his claws to Ai Ting who was behind Meng Fei. Meng Fei looked unhappily as he and Ai Ting shook hands familiarly.
"Ai Ju, long time no see. I'm here to temporarily take over your responsibilities, but I have to ask you to take care of me."
Ai Ting had been carefree for too long at this time, and she felt very embarrassed and said: "I have left you with a lot of trouble."
Li Huo smiled flatteringly and said: "Where is it? I can't ask for more than to be able to work for you, the goddess director."
Meng Fei was almost shocked, Li Huo actually knew that Ai Ting was a goddess?
On second thought, that's not the case. The word "beauty" has long been overused by sweet-talking people, and "goddess" is almost the same.
Meng Fei took Ai Ting's hand and returned to the 004 office, closed the door, locked Li Huo out, and asked, "Have you known this person before?"
"yes."
Ai Ting nodded.
"Before I was appointed as the director of Wutong City's Superpower Bureau, I went to Rongdu for training for a period of time.
"Li Huo is a classmate who trained with me. He is sitting next to me and is a very enthusiastic and helpful person.
"After completing the training, he has been working as the deputy director of the Rongdu Superpower Bureau. Unexpectedly, he was sent here."
After finishing speaking, Ai Ting looked at Meng Fei playfully, the reflection of the fluorescent lamp in the room flickering in her eyes.
"Are you thinking too much about something?"
Meng Fei indeed had a bad impression of Li Huo's previous life, Li Shibai.
In the death bet, Li Shibai was very outspoken from the beginning, using various excuses to get everyone to give him their cards, which already made him very unhappy.
But everyone is trying to survive, so he can tolerate it even though he is unhappy. However, Li Shibai actually had the idea of Xiao Luo again?
If you want to get someone else to support you, I have no control over it. If you have the guts to come at me, we will fight with open swords and guns. I won’t be afraid of you, but I won’t hate you to death.
But if you dare to take advantage of my wife and children, the nature of it has changed. I will never spare you, and I will kill you by any means necessary!
Fortunately, Xiaoluo was strong enough, and the two cards he gave Xiaoluo worked. Not only did Xiaoluo not suffer any loss, he also defeated this guy. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
Meng Fei held Ai Ting's shoulders and said sincerely:
"This guy named Li is really not a good person."
