While Zhou Pin was cooking, Xu Lin put all the antiques into her space. The first thing she did after finishing her meal was to check the changes in her space. Xiao Hai had grown quite a bit, about the size of a lake, and now there was a beach.

"When we have some free time, let's set up a beach chair and relax in the sun," Xu Lin said.

"You haven't enjoyed 24 hours of daylight yet?" Zhou Pin replied.

"Yes, it's always daytime now. If it weren't for clocks, I would definitely lose track of time. I even miss the night a little."

After breakfast, Xu Lin rode her tricycle to Sister Chen's shop to exchange antiques, while Zhou Pin worked at home.

Xu Lin took out bottles of perfume from her bag, along with some jewelry. The perfumes and jewelry were cheap items from the live stream, but they were still hard to find in the apocalypse.

Sister Chen beamed as she looked at the table full of perfumes and jewelry. She took out a box of antiques and exchanged them with Xu Lin. The antiques weren't particularly outstanding, but Xu Lin didn't mind, since those items would only take up space in her storage space anyway.

After exchanging the antiques, Xu Lin didn't rush to leave but sat and chatted with Sister Chen.

"How's your seafood business?" Sister Chen asked.

"That's great. I'm going to Jinshi with the convoy tomorrow," Xu Lin replied. "Why do you ask that?"

"It's alright, just keep it in mind. The base goes to Jinshi every other day now, so they can easily run this business themselves," Sister Chen analyzed.

Xu Lin had thought about this question long ago. Now they don't need to drive themselves to Jinshi anymore. They go there in the base's car and return in the base's car. Why doesn't the base do this business itself?

Hearing Sister Chen say this, Xu Lin was certain of her suspicions.

The two chatted for a while longer before Xu Lin went to her shop next door, where Wang Jing and Li Jingjing were organizing group-buying deals.

"Boss, the tour ends at noon today, so you'll have to go to Jinshi again," Wang Jing said.

Since starting work at the store, Wang Jing and Li Jingjing have both called Xu Lin "boss," no matter how many times they've said it, so Xu Lin has just let them be.

"We'll set off with the convoy tomorrow; the numbers will be posted in the group chat." Xu Lin is increasingly taking on the air of a boss.

When Xu Lin returned home that evening, she told Zhou Pin about Sister Chen's hint. Zhou Pin told Xu Lin that Sister Chen's husband was probably one of the people in charge of the base, which surprised Xu Lin.

"Can the family members of the base's head conduct business like this?" Xu Lin wondered.

"The base also has no explicit rule that the family members of the person in charge cannot do business."

"Then I'll have to get along with her in the future. No wonder she's so well-informed and her luxury goods sales are so smooth."

The next morning, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin arrived at the supply department to meet up with the convoy and found that there were many unfamiliar faces in the convoy.

Zheng Ming pulled Xu Lin and Zhou Pin aside and said, "When we came to work this morning, the boss suddenly said that these people were going to Jinshi Wharf to fish there permanently. We'll bring the fish back every time we go to Jinshi."

"Okay, I understand," Xu Lin said calmly.

"You know? That's it?" Zheng Ming asked incredulously.

"What else can we do but block the base from going to Jinshi?" Xu Lin retorted.

"We have to think of a way!" Zheng Ming said anxiously.

"Don't worry, the base didn't say we couldn't come along, which means they've tacitly approved of us doing seafood business, and that's fine. With so many people at the base, our seafood wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap in their stomachs! Besides, our customer bases are different. I'm targeting people with a little spare cash, while the base is definitely targeting high-end customers."
