Chapter 52 High electricity bills

Regardless of whether these little carrots heard it or not, Li Xiao led them down the mountain with a dark face.

Li Xiao was going to the city to help them apply for ID cards. As for Fei Zai, he had no choice but to stay in the Taoist temple.

Because although the little ones are not very big, and Li Xiao’s Land Rover is large enough, it can’t handle the large number of children! Even Li Xiao doesn’t know if he can squeeze them all in!

After walking to the bottom of the mountain, the children crowded into the car one by one. Looking at the car that was as crowded as a canned fish, Li Xiao was confused.

It's three or four hours' journey from here to the city! It's not a problem to squeeze in like this! Either Shen Yi or the others are uncomfortable, or they encounter the traffic police. It's really embarrassing that such an overloaded car is a child. I know if he will be suspected of being a human trafficker.

Just when Li Xiao was debating whether to leave like this or think of another way, a car horn sounded outside the closed gatehouse.

Wondering who was coming now, Li Xiao asked Shen Yi and others to get out of the car, and then he ran towards the gatehouse.

Opening the door, Li Xiao saw Liu Rumeng's blue car.

"Why do you have time to come here? Aren't you busy with company matters?" Li Xiao asked doubtfully when he came to the car window.

"You still said! If you don't give me samples, how can I send it for inspection and get the inspection report?" Liu Rumeng got out of the car and looked at Li Xiao angrily.

"Um, I didn't know there was such a thing!" Li Xiao said, touching his head awkwardly.

"Do you think this is a black workshop producing Sanwu products? You don't need anything!" Liu Rumeng rolled her eyes at Li Xiao angrily.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it right now!" After saying this, Li Xiao turned around and ran towards the mountain.

Not long after, Li Xiao returned to the foot of the mountain with a few glass bottles, only to see Shen Yi and the others surrounding Liu Rumeng, while Shen Xiaomei stood in the distance with a blank look on her face.

Pulling up the confused Shen Xiaomei, Li Xiao came closer and shouted directly: "Go over to the side, don't get in the way here!"

When Shen Yi and other eight young ladies heard Li Xiao's words, of course they ran aside obediently, fearing that they would be subjected to ideological education again.

"Here, these are the seven kinds. They are all labeled. You can see for yourself! I don't understand anyway!" Li Xiao said as he handed several glass bottles in his arms to Liu Rumeng.

In fact, he didn't understand anything, but he was embarrassed to say it. Things like whitening and rejuvenating the skin were fine, but other things like plumping up, red cherry blossoms, and the fungus...! These are to be innocent. How can Li Xiao, who is so young and has no experience, say anything about it?

Taking the glass bottles filled with various colored liquids, Liu Rumeng didn't pay attention, but looked at Li Xiao with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling you, I didn't make these! They were made by an old Taoist priest!" Li Xiao immediately explained, feeling very frightened by the sight.

"You didn't do this?" Liu Rumeng said with a strange expression as he glanced at Shen Yi and the others who were gathered nearby.

"Uh! Is Sister Rumeng infected? That's so tough to say!" Li Xiao's face darkened and he said with a wry smile.

I thought Liu Rumeng was because of those spiritual fluids, but Li Xiao forgot about these little friends, which is a more difficult thing to explain!

If according to Liu Rumeng's statement, these little friends were really created by him, Li Xiao, but why does this sound so awkward?

"Huh? Are they your children?" Realizing that what she just said was indeed a bit inappropriate, Liu Rumeng's face turned red, and she immediately changed her words and asked again.

"No, Sister Rumeng, please don't misunderstand..."

Just as Li Xiao was about to explain, he was interrupted by a speeding car. The car suddenly stopped and stopped aside. The door suddenly opened. A man jumped out of the car and ran towards this side.

"Huh?" Liu Rumeng also looked back. After seeing the person running clearly, he asked doubtfully: "Mr. Chen? Why are you here suddenly and in such a hurry?"

Chen Gong, who looked anxious, complained even more when he saw Liu Rumeng was there.

Before dawn today, Mr. Chen was called to the bureau by the bureau leader, saying that there was an abnormality in the power supply last night and almost the entire city was cut off.

He then thought, he is in charge of designing and erecting electric towers! What does the abnormal power supply have to do with him? If he doesn't call for technicians, why should he call for him?

But the boss called, so he just ran out of bed and went to the bureau, but he was dumbfounded when he got there.

It turns out that the abnormal power supply in Linshan City was entirely caused by the electricity tower I erected in Fulongqiu a few days ago. Since tens of millions of dollars of electricity were consumed there in just a few hours, this is ridiculous.

A monster that swallows electricity cannot be so cruel!

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the power system, the dazzling figures left the leaders of the Electricity Bureau entangled. Originally, the erection of the power towers in Fulongqiu was ordered by some big shots. Obviously they couldn't afford to mess with it, but this problem always has to be solved.

It’s solved! If you don’t ask, you’d be derelict in your duty.

The leaders of the Electric Power Bureau thought that Fulongqiu could not be offended, but they must limit its power consumption, otherwise the entire Linshan would face power supply problems if they came here a few more times.

After discussion, they agreed that the power tower was built by Mr. Chen, so let him get the electricity bill back and install power limiting equipment.

Finally, Yan Ming said that if this matter could be solved, Mr. Chen would not have to come back to work and could just go home and hold the child.

"Miss Liu, you are here too!" Chen Gong did not expect that Liu Rumeng was also here. He was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say.

"Are you here to see Li Xiao? Just tell me if you have anything to do!" Seeing his troubled expression, Liu Rumeng said directly.

When he saw Chen Gong suddenly running over, Li Xiao's expression changed, but he stood there pretending to be nonchalant, did not speak, and waited quietly for his next words.

"That's it...!" After hesitating for a moment, Chen Gong told Liu Rumeng what happened with a look of pain on his face.

In the end, Liu Rumeng's expression also changed, and she looked up and down at Li Xiao in surprise.

Hearing what Chen Gong said, Li Xiao's heart sank. He didn't expect that in just a short period of time yesterday, tens of millions of dollars worth of electricity had been absorbed. This was really shocking. It would be strange if the Electricity Bureau didn't come to see him.

"Is there an error in the electricity bureau's system? I only have a Taoist temple here, which only provides lighting, so how can I use so much electricity?" Although he knew it in his heart, Li Xiao did not dare to admit it, so he had to pretend to be innocent.

, and threw the question to Mr. Chen.

"Little temple master, I have to go to the transformer room to have a look, is that okay?" Chen Gong asked with a wry smile. He didn't believe that such a Taoist temple could consume so much electricity in one night.

"Okay, let's go now!" After saying that, Li Xiao took him up the mountain, and Liu Rumeng and Shen Yi followed them up the mountain.

At the gate of the mountain, the old peach blossom Taoist was looking at the peach trees all over the mountain, thinking about how much peach blossom wine he would make when the flowers bloomed.

"Huh? Master, why are you back again? Didn't I give you everything?"

"I have other matters. Please help me keep an eye on these children. I'll be back in a while." He said to the confused old Taoist, leaving Shen Yi and the others at the mountain gate. Li Xiao took Chen Gong and Liu Rumeng with him. After entering the Taoist temple, we walked directly to the inner courtyard.

Arriving at the transformer room, Mr. Chen frowned as he watched the door of the machine room open. There were still some marks of collision on the walls inside, and some of the wall coverings were peeling off.

When he saw the section of cable above which had its insulation cut off, Mr. Chen's brows suddenly furrowed and he kept thinking about various possibilities in his mind.

"I don't know the specific situation, but we need to add power-limiting equipment here. Can you understand me?" Chen Gong said, having no idea what was going on.

"There is no problem, but will the restriction be too severe and affect the Taoist temple's normal power consumption?" Li Xiao said hypocritically, thinking that this would be enough?

"It won't affect the normal use of electricity. It's just a limit. I'm afraid something like yesterday will happen again!" Chen Gong explained, paused, and then said: "But you still need to pay the electricity bill."

"Ah? Why do you still need me to pay?" Li Xiao was stunned. How could he pay for it himself when he couldn't find out the situation?

"Actually, we are still inclined to open a case for investigation, after all, such a large amount..." Chen Gong said, glancing at Liu Rumeng intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Gong had no choice. It would have been best to open a case for investigation, but in order not to offend certain people, the bureau had no choice but to charge the electricity bill and let the matter be over.

"This...then I'll pay it. The Taoist temple is about to open, and I don't want to get into any trouble. Alas! Why did I end up in such a trouble?" After thinking about it, Li Xiao pretended to be afraid of getting into trouble. He said very reluctantly.

He also knew that the reason why this matter was so simple must have something to do with Liu Rumeng, and the electricity was indeed for his own use, and he did not complain about paying for it.

"The total is 9 million. Please make the payment as soon as possible. Just transfer it directly." Seeing his agreement, Chen Gong said quickly.

"I'll transfer it right now!" Following the call to the bank, the money was transferred to the electricity bureau's account in just a few minutes.

Seeing that the matter was over, Mr. Chen said goodbye and left with a relaxed expression. As for the power limiting equipment, maintenance personnel will naturally come and install it on the power tower.

While watching Gong Chen leave with a smile on his face, Li Xiao felt depressed.

This cost more than 10 million. Although the money was easy to come by, it still made Li Xiao feel a little hurt.

Although more than 10 million yuan of electricity was converted into 50,000 Dao coins, it looks very expensive, but it is not a quick channel, so I can only enjoy it this time. No matter how much money I have in the future, I want to do this , I’m afraid it won’t be that easy, at least there must be a reasonable excuse.

Originally, after the space promotion rules changed, Li Xiao thought that Dao Coins would be easier to obtain, but he did not expect that this would be the case.
