I'm a Landlady in the Apocalypse

Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...

Volume 1_Chapter 282: One sentence can take his soul away

Afraid that Su Tao didn't see them, Lei Xing asked Huo Snake, who was driving, to play loud music, causing the surrounding convoys to open their windows to look.

Xu Chang, who was sitting in the back seat, coughed twice: "Captain Lei, this is too eye-catching."

Lei Xing said proudly: "Of course."

How could Su Tao see him if he didn't attract attention?

Su Tao couldn't help but pay attention to them now. The dynamic music seemed to treat the road as a stage.

Chen Yang, who had been staying next to Ma Dapao, was the most excited. He stuck his head out of the window and shouted to Lei Xing:

"Brother Lei——"

Lei Xing simply leaned half of his body out of the window, whistled and waved at them, signaling them to drive faster.

Then he asked Huoshe to drive slower, thinking that he could say a few words to Su Tao when they met later.

However, the one driving on Su Tao's side was Cen Tianjiao. He looked at the boss's expression and cleverly chose to drive at a constant speed, pretending not to understand Lei Xing's signal.

Fire Snake pouted and said, "The ones driving the car are Shi Zijin's men."

Lei Xing was unhappy: "Drive ahead of them. I have to have a word with Su Tao today. Can he stop me?"

Fire Snake let out a cry and turned the steering wheel, slowing down and changing lanes to block the way in front of them.

Cen Tianjiao was so blocked that he developed a rebellious mentality and changed lanes to avoid the traffic.

The two teams of cars twisted and turned like snakes and never collided.

The commotion was quite loud, and some people in the surrounding convoys had already recognized Baotu, and many of them greeted Lei Xing.

Lei Xingdu agreed generously, and then continued to compete with Cen Tianjiao.

The people in Baotu were in a playful mood and immediately treated this as a game of chase and escape, completely forgetting about the big boss Changjing sitting behind them.

Xu Chang was confused: "What are you doing?"

Dazui was the only one who was afraid of the big boss's displeasure. He scratched his head and said, "I met an acquaintance."

Xu Chang looked at him with a deep and somewhat suspicious look.

Big Mouth had no choice but to whisper, "The girl our boss likes is sitting in the car behind."

Xu Chang felt that he was old, and chasing a girl meant blocking her car?

He hit the nail on the head: "That girl doesn't seem to be interested in your boss."

If it was interesting, you should have said something earlier.

Big Mouth refused to admit it: "You can't say that. The driver doesn't get along with our boss, and he definitely doesn't want Boss Su to see our boss. Oh, don't say that in front of our boss, he'll be furious."

Xu Chang smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more. Being young is good.

He is old and doesn't know whether he can find his daughter in his lifetime and see that she is also pursued by the boy she likes.

Su Tao was annoyed by the serpentine movement: "What is Cen Lao Er doing? I'm going to vomit."

Shi Zijin supported her calmly:

"I don't know what's going on, but the Baotu cars keep blocking us, and Lao Er is avoiding them."

Su Tao had a puzzled look on her face, not knowing what was wrong with Lei Xing.

The two teams of cars continued to compete until they stopped at the last supply station.

Lei Xing didn't say a word and held his breath.

He got out of the car and strode over angrily. When he got in front of Cen Tianjiao, he pushed him and said, "Did you do that on purpose?"

Dang Xingyan immediately pushed him back: "What do you want to do? Fight?!"

Fire Snake couldn't bear to see his boss suffer a loss, so he cursed and rushed over to fight, but was stopped by Lei Xing.

The others rushed forward aggressively.

Zhou Hai and Zhou Yang tensed their muscles and made attacking gestures, and the atmosphere between the two sides became tense.

Su Tao saw that something was wrong, ran out of the car, and glared at both parties:

"You really want to fight? Did the heat burn your brains out?"

When Lei Xing saw her and heard her voice, his mind went numb for a moment.

The originally frozen atmosphere also changed. Fire Snake whispered to the big mouth beside him:

"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel like Boss Su's voice is..."

He wanted to say it was very tempting, but he was afraid that Boss Lei would hear it, so he had to swallow it back and hinted to Big Mouth with his eyes.

Big Mouth nodded in empathy.

Lei Xing didn't think that much.

He just felt that Su Tao, whom he hadn't seen for such a long time, could capture his soul with just one sentence. As for what she said, it didn't matter. He might really want to spend the rest of his life with the person in front of him.

Su Tao said angrily: "Fang Zhi! Come over and cool them down."

Lin Fangzhi didn't care who hit who. He stuffed bottles of iced mineral water into their hands and said without emotion:

"You can go to the back of the RV and find the water pipe to take a shower. Calm down."

The Fire Snakes had very short memories and instantly forgot about the fight and ran away in a panic.

Lei Xing's anger subsided when he saw her, so there was no need for physical cooling.

He wanted to go over and say something to Su Tao, but Su Tao ignored him.

Lei Xing was turned down, so he didn't dare to go up to her and make her unhappy again, but his eyes were always glued to her.

Shi Zijin took the opportunity to stand behind her.

Su Tao went to find the honest Big Mouth to ask what was going on.

Big Mouth confessed everything, and finally added:

"Boss Lei just wanted to say a few words to you. He didn't mean anything else. Major General Shi's men didn't give him any face, so he got anxious."

Su Tao asked: "What's the urgent matter you want to tell me? I can see it even if you send the communicator."

Big Mouth choked.

Can online chatting be the same as face-to-face chatting?

"Ahem."

When Big Mouth heard the two coughs, he immediately realized that the leader was still there and quickly introduced himself:

"Minister Xu, this is Boss Su from Taoyang. Boss Su, this is Minister Xu from Changjing, from the Development and Supervision Department."

Xu Chang didn't mind that Dazui couldn't pronounce the full name of his department, and looked at Su Tao with some surprise:

"How old are you?"

Su Tao felt that this man's temperament alone told her that he held a high position in the government. He also looked to be around 45 years old, so she acted like a junior and said politely, "19 years old."

In fact, she was still three months away from turning 19, but when she went out, she always told others she was 20. She was honest because she knew Xu Chang was not easy to fool.

Xu Chang nodded and asked again, "Which Taoyang?"

It's no wonder he hadn't heard of it. Taoyang's reputation had just begun to rise in the south, and there was no news about it in the north yet.

In the apocalypse, network communications are unstable and have regional limitations, so many news messages cannot be transmitted as quickly as before the apocalypse.

Su Tao said modestly: "It's a small place, next to the Dongyang base."

Xu had often heard of Dongyang. It was said that a retired old leader had personally petitioned to be transferred there, and Changjing had also paid attention to it over the years.

Xu Chang thought Taoyang was just a small gathering place next to Dongyang.

But even so, he was still quite curious: "Are you the manager of Taoyang?"

It is quite amazing and rare that a young girl with delicate skin and tender flesh can have a place in the apocalypse.

Su Tao hesitated and didn't admit it immediately.

In fact, before leaving, she planned to push Ma Dapao or Zhuang Wan to be the official manager of Taoyang.

The reason why she doesn't show up in public is that she is too young, and anyone who sees her will have a preconceived notion that she is distrustful and unreliable.

Secondly, the existence of her system is a bit like possessing a treasure, so it would be safer for her to work behind the scenes.

Shi Zijin, who came over, seemed to know what she was thinking. He pointed at Ma Dapao, who was chatting with people not far away, and said to Xu Chang, "That's Manager Ma from Taoyang."

This is true, but to Xu Chang, it meant that Ma Dapao was the actual manager.

He nodded. That's right, Manager Ma really looked like someone who was good at socializing and business.

Xu Chang suddenly looked at Shi Zijin: "Who are you? You look familiar. Have we met before?"
