Chapter 167 Different perspectives from the top and bottom
Chapter 167 Different perspectives from the top and bottom
On the street, Maru Hao and a group of naughty kids bent down and shouted together.
"Goodbye, boss!" The voice was so loud that people passing by looked at him with curiosity in their eyes.
Jin Yue nodded with satisfaction: "That's good enough, let's go."
After getting the answer, Maru Hao burst into laughter and immediately ran away, followed by his younger brothers.
"It's almost noon, little one, do you want to eat with us?"
Ri Zu looked up at the sky. The sun was high in the sky, hanging above everyone's heads. He saw Jin Yue alone, so he opened his mouth to invite her.
"Well... okay, then I'll reluctantly agree." Jin Yue thought about it seriously, ignored Bai Shiyu's resistance, put on a smile and agreed happily.
Seeing this, Bai Shiyu muttered, "What? It's obviously a dinner for the three of us, why do you have to bring a kid?"
Rizu smiled and said, "I think you two are destined to be together. Besides, are you comfortable leaving her alone?"
"You're obviously worried, but you're still so stubborn."
Bai Shiyu was furious and said angrily: "Who is being stubborn? With the look on her face just now, who would be worried?"
Rizu smiled secretly, then looked at Jinyue: "Do you want to come? Don't worry, the brothers will treat you."
Jin Yue was a little hesitant at first, but when she heard that someone was treating her, her eyes immediately lit up and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Bai Shiyu didn't say anything else. He walked silently to the front to lead the way.
When they arrived at the familiar barbecue restaurant, the owner's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Bai Shiyu, and he greeted them enthusiastically.
You don't need to look to know that this is targeting their wallets.
"Come on, order whatever you want to eat. Your brother Shenyu will treat you."
Following the etiquette of the elders giving way to the younger ones, Ri Zu handed the menu to Jin Yue after getting his teammates' consent.
Jin Yue glanced at Shen Yu, who had remained silent from beginning to end, and complained silently in her heart.
"Does this brother look like someone who would entertain guests?"
I thought so in my heart, but I kept thanking him on the surface.
After flipping through the menu, Jin Yue started ordering.
After waiting for a while, all the dishes were served and Jin Yue nodded with satisfaction.
Then he saw that the two people except Shen Yu had complicated expressions on their faces and asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I ordered? Don't you like it?"
After hearing Jin Yue's words, Bai Shiyu and Rizu looked at each other and saw the heartache in each other's eyes.
Especially Bai Shiyu, who came from an orphanage, can empathize the most.
Hiashi shook his head: "No, I like it. I like it very much. Don't you agree, Shiraishi?"
Hearing this, Bai Shiyu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes! I like it very much."
After saying that, afraid that Jin Yue wouldn't believe him, he immediately started eating with big mouthfuls, a happy smile on his face.
Jin Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then started eating, looking very relishing.
But when everyone saw these things, a feeling of sadness welled up in their hearts.
Because their meat is the best in the store, it is very fresh and the price is relatively high.
What Jin Yue ate was the cheapest, some of which were even about to expire. I don’t know how he convinced the store manager.
A completely different lunch was thus prepared in a silent atmosphere.
Jin Yue ate with great satisfaction and was very happy, even though the food was not very fresh.
Before leaving, I thanked them specially.
Bai Shiyu waved with a complicated expression and watched her figure disappear before his eyes.
When the figure disappeared, he turned around and couldn't help but ask Hiashi: "Is Konoha short of food?"
Rizu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he was very helpless: "I am not in charge of this, it's useless to ask me."
At this time, Shen Yu proposed a solution: "Why don't you go ask your brother?"
Hiashi hesitated and said, "Is this okay?" He was still a little in awe of the Hokage and thought these were just trivial matters.
Bai Shiyu was resolute and said, "I'll go ask now."
Having said that, he immediately started moving, and Shen Yu followed behind him without hesitation.
"You guys..." Rizu stood there in a daze. Seeing that he was the only one left, he thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and followed.
......
While they were on their way to the Hokage Building, Kaede Hoshino was looking at the report document in his hand with a serious expression.
Not only that, the top leaders of some Konoha organizations were all gathered together.
The Minister of Finance Koharu Utane, the Minister of Commerce Izawa Ikumi, the Director of the Research Institute Orochimaru, plus the three elders, it can be said that they are a star-studded group.
Nara Shikaichi, Konoha's elder and staff officer, was reporting: "Currently, Konoha is developing well in all aspects."
"Business indicators are growing year by year, and the finances are very ample."
"The trade with the Sand Village has begun to take shape and is operating normally. I suggest increasing investment."
"The former Rain Country is not suitable for living due to its humid climate, so all the population has been relocated inland. However, many minerals have been discovered and are being prepared for mining."
"The cultivated land around Konoha is now all normal, and the food reserves are good, which can support Konoha's supply for a year."
"..."
"That's basically it. The small details are all in your hands."
After Nara Shika finished speaking, he began panting heavily and almost passed out.
After listening to this, Xingye Feng did not express his opinion. Instead, he frowned again and again and looked at the so-called "small details" in his hand.
Seeing that Hoshino Kaede hadn't spoken, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly, raised his head and spoke.
"From my perspective, Konoha is the best in the ninja world. No other ninja village can rival it."
"Take what Lu Yi reported as an example. Konoha's development is getting better day by day. This is really cause for celebration."
Hiruzen's words seemed to resonate with the others, who nodded in agreement with him.
Even Orochimaru, who has always devoted himself to scientific research, can clearly feel the rich vitality emanating from Konoha.
"Under the leadership of Lord Hokage, our Konoha is becoming increasingly powerful." Utane Koharu said with a smile.
Even the stern Danzo couldn't help but smile, showing that he was very satisfied with the development of Konoha.
Just as everyone was feeling complacent about Konoha's rapid development, no one noticed that Hoshino Kaede's expression was becoming increasingly uglier.
Nara Shikaichi keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Hoshino Kaede's expression and immediately stopped their boasting.
"Well, although Konoha has made great achievements, everyone should not be too complacent."
“The most powerful enemy is always yourself. No matter how strong the fortress is, it will be breached from within.”
While Nara Shikaichi was speaking, he kept winking at them, looking very anxious.
When everyone heard Lu Yi's words, their words of praise stopped abruptly, and they obviously noticed the ugly expression on Xingye Feng's face.
I couldn't help but fall silent. In the noisy office, you could hear a pin drop.
