Di Ai Ai was silent for two seconds, then smiled bitterly, "Then I will tell her, sister, you should wait for me... I want her to know my heart. Of course, if she gets along with the boss, then I will I don’t even dare to say it.”
Gao Qiang was silent when he heard this, and sighed after a few seconds, "There are so many good girls, Xiao Di, don't be too pretentious. Relationships ultimately depend on fate..."
On the third day after Feng Jun returned to Australia, Sophia came back. At this moment, the Taoist temple was crowded with people. Some people entered the Taoist temple to burn incense, and some people spread out tablecloths at the entrance of the Taoist temple to have a picnic.
Now in Australia, wildfires are getting more and more intense. It is less than 100 kilometers away from the town of Amsterdam. You can smell faint smoke in the air. Drought is also a big problem. Many residents are already considering leaving. .
But the Taoist temple is very leisurely. It rains once or twice a day, either in the morning or at night, and the air is quite fresh.
The local townspeople discovered this phenomenon, especially although the rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and the scope was not particularly fixed, it was certain that it all fell on the land that Sophia bought.
So some people come here to enjoy the fresh and moist air, while others want to burn a stick of incense to change their luck.
Unfortunately, due to Sofia's absence, only a small part of the Taoist temple was open, and many people had serious opinions about this.
So Sofia and Avril were discovered as soon as they showed up, and everyone rushed up one after another, saying that all your Taoist temples should be opened, and we hope we can stay inside for a while.
This request was normal, and Sophia nodded in agreement. She was back, so of course she could be open to it.
However, volunteer Daisy's request was a little difficult. She said that many people hoped that the Taoist temple could bring rain in the town, where the drought was already severe and the air was not good.
Sofia rejected her request on the grounds that the town of Amsterdam was not friendly to her—at least many people were not.
Daisy was anxious, "There are still many people who go to church to pray. Shouldn't we influence them?"
Although she is just a little girl, she has already seen clearly the essence of Zong Ming - robbing believers.
"We do not insist on reform," Sofia said casually, "I recommend you to read a copy of the Tao Te Ching. Once you understand it, you will understand why I have this attitude."
Daisy blinked and finally spoke, "But everyone is saying that the Lord will protect everyone."
"Ha," Sofia laughed nonchalantly, "Shelter...is it raining in Amsterdam? It rains only here, so why should I please them?"
Because she let go of the front hall of the Taoist temple, many more people came in. The next morning, people from the main government came after hearing the news.
Sofia did meet them, but when asked by the other party, she asked simply, "I'll help you put out the fire... where's the reward? How is the reward calculated?"
"The reward won't be much," a staff member replied with a wry smile, "Our funds are limited."
"I'm sorry," Sofia shook her head, "In our country, firefighting companies charge very high fees."
"But you are a clergyman and have received the power of protection," this person tried to kidnap her morally, "God loves the world, doesn't he?"
"I am guarding this Taoist temple now," Sophia replied expressionlessly.
Seeing that Sophia insisted on charging a high price, the two staff members did not even dare to ask the price - it was impossible to negotiate.
One of them got a little angry, "For you, there is no danger in putting out fires. This is a public welfare matter. Just give it a symbolic stop. If this continues, the whole of Australia will burn!"
"You sound like you are hurrying up," Sofia smiled disdainfully, "I came back at noon yesterday. If you are so dedicated... you should have arrived last night."
"We got the news relatively late," one person said defensively. "I got off work when I got here, so I don't want to disturb you."
Sophia laughed, "I live in the Taoist temple, it doesn't matter. I'm afraid it will be even later when you rush back, right?"
"Of course it's too late for us," another person replied nonchalantly, "Others can get off work normally, why do we have to be so late?"
If Zhang Caixin heard this, he would probably be even more stunned. Is there such a government official?
But Sophia was really used to it. She smiled and said, "You can't accept getting off work late, but you actually asked me to do charity activities at a low price. This logic...don't you blush?"
One of them replied without hesitation, "You have the ability, don't you?"
Sophia sneered, "I'm still very rich, should I give it all to you?"
This rhetorical question was very powerful. This person remained silent, but the other person spoke up, "Miss Sophia, the funds of the public sector have always been very tight. You should understand this. So...what else do you have?" Need it?"
Sophia pondered for a while before speaking out, "If the land expenditure can be avoided, I can consider it."
Australia's land expenditure is very complicated. In short, it owns more than ten square kilometers of land. No matter what it is used for, it will definitely have to pay a large fee every year, or how many agricultural and animal husbandry products it produces.
All kinds of transactions that occur on this land must also be taxed - the Taoist temple is a religious place, and the relevant areas are tax-free, but others are absolutely not allowed.
So Sophia spent a huge sum of money to buy such a large piece of land, and had to pay or deduct a large amount of money every year. She hoped to waive this amount of money, because she had no intention of operating this land. Even if she had more money, she would not Don’t want to pay this kind of fee every year.
However, her request was rejected. The other party said very firmly, "Sorry, this is impossible. We are only responsible for the public utility part. If you want tax exemption, you should not mention it."
"Then let's go," Sofia said directly.
These two people also felt that it was not interesting, and Sofia's request was indeed beyond their capabilities, so they had no choice but to leave.
Feng Jun's mind has been paying attention to this place. When he heard their conversation, he was a little confused. These officials in Australia lived a really easy life.
After the two left, his consciousness asked directly, "Then does this mean that the negotiation has collapsed?"
"It's broken," Sofia stood there, as if talking to herself, "I thought the Australian Taxation Bureau was easier to communicate with than the Maid Taxation Bureau, but it seems to be a bit subjective."
"Then I'll go back when King Chen Sheng comes," Feng Jun also wanted to help her, but since it's not needed, let's stop there.
But soon King Chen Sheng called and said that he had spotted a few young talents at the Dragon Gate Conference and wanted to investigate them privately. If suitable, he would choose two to be his disciples and inherit the Taoist lineage of Fang Hu. .
Ordinarily there shouldn't be any rush on this matter, but there are too many people who can't stand this idea. Just think about it and Danxiatian will know that Director Guan even brought Ma Sanniang there and asked her to help him.
In the final analysis, the Taoist sect has been in decline for too long and has too few talents. Among all the Taoist sects in China, except Wudang, no one dares to say so.
Not to mention Fanghu and Guigu, which only have one person, not to mention Danxiatian, even Luofu Mountain, where Qingxiaozi is located, is famous in Baiyue, but it is still very short of people, and this time it is also looking for seedlings.
Of course, good seedlings can be found in the society, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Those who can come to the Dragon Gate Conference are all of a certain level, which directly saves the process of laying the foundation and can be used with a little training.
In particular, it should be pointed out that most of the contestants who came to compete this time vaguely recognized Dao Sect - there were very few like Lu Bufan.
The reason why many Sanda or boxing players did not come was because this conference was held in Maoshan.
Are you kidding me? A Taoist temple that draws talismans and catches ghosts actually wants to hold a martial arts conference. How much did you have to drink?
As for the bonuses... Haha, if the Taoist temple holds a conference and doesn't ask you to give alms, that's just a first-rate conscience.
Therefore, in King Chen Sheng's view, the seedlings of this generation are all very malleable, and after being found and cultivated carefully for a year, they can be just right to enter the Danxia Secret Realm.
Of course, he was not the only one who had such calculations, others had the same plan, so he explained to Feng Jun seriously, saying that I was determined to be Luo Hua's guest, but you have to give me some time this time - I am still the champion, Just in time to recruit.
What can Feng Jun say? He could only accept it. If Old Chen Zhangluo was his Youyouxiu partner, Feng Jun might have some grudges in his heart, but he could only understand that they were here for the inheritance of Fang Hu.
So he stayed in Australia with peace of mind, just in time to help Sister Hong and Hao Jingjing improve, pushing them to a halfway point in refining their Qi.
But it’s not good to just help them two, right? So Feng Jun went back to Luohua again and brought Yang Yuxin with him.
Director Yang was a little reserved and didn't want to come to Australia - mainly because he couldn't save his face, so he said that the construction site outside had reached a critical stage and he had to help Luo Hua coordinate various things and couldn't leave.
Feng Jun tells the truth, we can all go further, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net also hopes that you can try your best to accompany us as far as possible.
Women all need to be coaxed, Feng Jun has discovered, instead of saying to her "Xiaohui needs you", it is better to say "I need you".
After five days like this, the fire has advanced to less than 40 kilometers away from the small town of Amsterdam.
Thick smoke has blown into the town, and with it, there is a suffocating and oxygen-deficient feeling. As for things like 25, no one cares about it anymore.
The heat wave was not felt for the time being, but the temperature increased significantly. Most of the night, the temperature could not drop.
It's already the end of October and the beginning of November. It's winter in China, but it's the beginning of summer here in Australia, and the small town of Amsterdam is so hot that you don't even need to cover yourself with a quilt when sleeping in the middle of the night.
The rain praying array at the Taoist temple also extends the duration of rainfall. It rains for two hours every morning and evening. It is mostly covered by clouds at other times - this can effectively control air pollution.
As a result, the anomaly in the Taoist temple area quickly spread - it rains every day, it is simply a paradise on earth.
