The middle-aged man in a trench coat and with a dangling expression patrolled left and right, and when he saw that there was no person he imagined, he put his hands in his pockets and gestured to leave.

“Hello!”

Lu Li stretched out his hand and called.

The middle-aged man followed the sound and saw Lu Li, which was a place in the corner that was not easy to find.

Pacing over, he sat down on his butt, and didn’t even take his hands out of his pockets.

Lu Li didn’t care about the sluggish behavior of the middle-aged man in front of him, but was observing him, his eyes full of interest…

Portrait of middle-aged people, Lu Li’s comments to him are:

‘Not as bitter as ordinary guests’

‘I didn’t show all the pressure in society on my face’

‘Even, in this middle-aged person, you don’t see the slightest pressure’

‘Life is like that, there is no way to resist, you can only learn to enjoy’

‘To have money is to live a day, to have no money is to live a day… Comfortable is to live a day, uncomfortable is also to live a day… It’s just that the former is more desirable’

……

Lu Li retracted his thoughts, and immediately, a thought rose.

A hundredfold time accelerated, spreading from his body to the body of a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man in front of Lu Li put his hands in his pockets, shaking his legs, and when the time realm shrouded his body, the middle-aged man looked stunned…

Some looked out the window in disbelief.

The endless traffic outside the window suddenly changed, and a car moved forward step by step…

The pedestrians on the sidewalk, maintaining the movements and expressions of the previous moment, stopped in place…

This side of the world, as if to remove him… Except for the young man on the other side, it was forbidden at once!

“Hello.”

“I am a time merchant, and for thousands of years, I have walked in this world…”

“I buy some people’s time and sell it to others who need it…”

Lu Li showed a light smile, he looked at the middle-aged man, his voice was calm, and then sounded.

The middle-aged man turned his head and listened carefully to Lu Li’s words.

He let out a long breath, and there was no fear on his face, but from the heart… Excitement and joy!

……

A moment later.

Lu Li signed a contract with the middle-aged man Cheng Xiao first.

Cheng Xiaoxian sold it to Lu Li for a year at a price of 10,000 per Chinese New Year’s Eve.

Lu Li withdrew to the ‘Time Realm’ and watched Cheng Xiao leave first.

His eyes were full of smiles, and he recalled in his mind that the other party’s words just now:

“I didn’t expect that there would still be such an existence as you in this world…”

“Why didn’t I meet earlier…”

“I am the first person in this world, and if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. In the past, when there was no money, I would work for a day or two, earn two or three hundred yuan, and then go to the Internet café to have a good time… If you’re hungry, eat fast food for ten bucks…”

“When it’s warm, I like to sleep in the bridge hole under the bridge, and when it’s cold, I sleep in the Internet café… Or save money for a few days, go to the bathhouse, and sleep beautifully in the bathhouse…”

“Well, now that I meet you, I don’t have to worry about everything.”

“When I finish spending these 300,000, I will come to you!”

“You are such a living bodhisattva!”

With these 300,000, continue to maintain such an attitude to life, can spend two years comfortably, and then sell it for a year of life, and can be comfortable for another two years.

Not selling much at a time, in Cheng Xiaoxian’s words, too much money, not good, at least will be nervous, afraid of being remembered.

Perhaps, this process is the first to break free from the shackles and pressures of most of society.

……

Cheng Xiao left first, Lu Li sat on the tea house, and drank most of the pot of bamboo leaf green that he ordered.

Put away the ‘Time Acquisition Contract’, Lu Li got up, and prepared to return to the old building of Dan University School of Medicine.

Walking unhurriedly, it took more than twenty minutes before Lu Li returned to the club.

Sitting at his desk and reading a recent book, Morris knocked on the door.

“Sir, I have detected a professor who may meet your requirements for think tank talents.”

Morris held a document in his hand, stood in front of Lu Li, and said in a deep voice.

With that, he handed the document to Lu Li.

“Name: Du Weiwei.”

“Born in Wushi City, Hubei Province, age fifty-seven…”

“Deputy dean, professor, doctoral supervisor of the School of International Relations of Modu Jiaotong University, director of the Celestial Empire Foreign Strategy Research Center of Modu Jiaotong University…”

“Du Weiwei’s research interests include international political system and political culture, American diplomacy, international relations and relations between major powers, and foreign policy of the Celestial Empire…”

“Score according to talent data system: 8, recommendation: invite to join a think tank”

Lu Li stared intently, reading the documents.

Judging from the data, this Du Weiwen is undoubtedly at the level of a ‘senior strategist’, and even has a name in the country.

Lu Li looked at the pages of information.

Turning to the back, there was a message, which was specifically marked by Morris.

“It is reported that Du Weiwen’s only son died in a car accident a few years ago, leaving only one daughter, named Du Jingxuan, who is five years old this year and suffers from a malignant brain tumor…”

“Du Weiwen cherishes this granddaughter very much, regards it as the root of life, in order to take his granddaughter to treat her illness, Du Weiwen shirked a large number of strategic research invitations, and in recent years, began to gradually withdraw from front-line work…”

Lu Li finished reading the last page of the document.

He looked satisfied, then raised his head, looked at Morris, and said:

“Nice job!”

“I’ll deal with the rest, you go first.”

……

Wait for Morris to leave.

Lu Li turned on the computer at hand again, found some public class videos of Du Weiwen on the official website of Modu Jiaotong University, and listened carefully to two classes.

One of the lessons is “International Relations between the United States and the Asia-Pacific Region in the 20th Century” and the other is “The Library of Government Management Systems in Developed Countries”.

In these two lessons, Lu Li determined that Tu Weiwen’s strategic thinking was indeed extremely clear and forward-looking.

“Think tanks are my brains.”

“We have to add it as soon as possible.”

Lu Li pondered.

The thinking system established by this Du Weiwen is the strategic thinking of taking the world as the chessboard, countries as chess pieces, and top powers as chess players…

It is one of the most suitable advisers for the current situation of the ‘Immortal Club’.

Add the ‘Immortal Club’ to the global chessboard and lay out another player hidden in the shadows.

Perhaps relying on Du Weiwen’s ability alone is not enough, but in the future, one day the think tank will become more and more perfect…
