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 64: Doctor Zhong's Miraculous Bringback

Su Tao took Zhong Gaoyi to use all the machines in the cafeteria and said:

"Your meals are all included for the five days you stay here. I've given you access. You can use the machine with fingerprint recognition to select your meals. We also provide three free bottles of iced drinks every day. If that's not enough, there's an ice machine here. You can get free water from the drinking fountain and add ice yourself. Oh, and the clinic also has a drinking fountain."

As Zhong Gaoyi was introduced, his emotions changed from shock at the beginning to calmer now.

In Taoyang, food, drink and other necessities are all based on pre-apocalyptic standards, and he has to get used to it.

At the end of the introduction, Su Tao suddenly asked, "Doctor Zhong, do you have any favorite foods?"

Maybe she could consider adding some more machines to the cafeteria.

Since upgrading the food store, I haven't bought any other machines except pet supplies.

Zhong Gaoyi waved his hand: "It's nothing, I'm not picky, as long as it's edible."

Su Tao checked the food store and asked directly:

"Beer or wine? Tea? Or sweets or desserts?"

When Chenxi and Chenyang were asked this question, their eyes widened.

Zhong Gaoyi glanced at them and said, "Candy and desserts? Any?"

The children's eyes lit up immediately.

Su Tao smiled: "It will be there tomorrow."

Zhuang Wan glared at the two children: "Greedy cats."

When Black and White Sesame heard the word "cat", they thought someone was calling them and responded with a "meow".

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this scene, and Bai Zhima was so scared that he hid between Su Tao's legs.

Since the great doctor was coming, Grandma Cen went into the kitchen herself and specially fried three vegetarian dishes.

People who hadn't seen green for a long time couldn't take their eyes off the three plates of fresh vegetarian dishes.

Grandma Cen untied her apron and said, "There's been a water shortage lately, causing a massive drop in yields at the plantation. Many newly planted seedlings died in the sun soon after they were planted. Just for these three dishes, I spent three times as much contribution points as before. I'm not sure I'll be able to buy more next time after eating this one."

Then he called Zhong Gaoyi and said:

"Doctor Zhong, eat more."

Zhong Gaoyi was eating a chicken rice lunch box, with an ice cream drink at his side and three green nutritious vegetables in front of him.

I haven't eaten anything this good during Chinese New Year.

After the meal, I felt like my stomach had experienced great wealth and luxury and could no longer eat anything simple.

Su Tao was also very happy with the meal, especially the three vegetarian dishes, which were so fresh. She was so envious that she wanted to set up a plantation in Taoyang to ensure that she had fresh vegetables for every meal.

But it's just thinking about it. There is no land, no people, and no planting technology. Go to bed early. It's all in your dreams.

The next morning, Zhuang Wan couldn't wait to take Chenxi to see a facial.

Su Tao had to help her receive the new tenants.

There were ten people staying this time, three double rooms and four single rooms.

The check-in process went smoothly, allowing her to deposit 85,000 federal coins, and her wallet became fatter.

But there was a female tenant living in the double room, named Lan Lingling, who looked unhappy from the moment she came in.

The male tenant who lived with her should be her boyfriend. He tried to coax her gently all the way, but her expression didn't seem to ease at all.

Su Tao asked her: "Are you dissatisfied with anything? If you are not satisfied, you can cancel the lease now. It's okay."

Lan Lingling said angrily, "I don't have any complaints about you Taoyang people. The main thing is that he said he got a one-bedroom apartment, but I only found out on the way here that he lied to me in order to get me."

When she said this in public, the man blushed immediately.

Su Tao was speechless, so she confirmed it again:

"So are you sure you want to rent this place?"

The man hesitated and said, "If there is a one-bedroom apartment later, can you rent it to us?"

Su Tao said: "There is no guarantee that there will be vacancies, and there is no guarantee of time for changing the lease."

Lan Lingling slapped the man on the spot:

"You guys are all the same! The last one lied to me the same way, saying all the sweet things like if I agreed, I could live in a one-bedroom apartment in Taoyang, but in the end, nothing happened! You too! I was so happy, but only after I got here did I realize you wanted me to stay in a double room?"

"The double room doesn't even have a living room, the balcony is so small that two people can't even move around, and we have to share a washing machine and dryer with others—"

Seeing the flames growing bigger, Su Tao quickly took out their rental agreement:

"How about this, you guys go back and discuss it first, and don't rush to sign."

Unexpectedly, Lan Lingling immediately signed the agreement:

"Sign it! Staying in a double room is better than going back and cramming with relatives. I'm just angry that men are unreliable and will only lie to their wives with their mouths."

In the end, they signed it. One of them cursed while the other silently lowered his head, took the luggage and went into the house.

Su Tao shook her head and didn't want to interfere. She just wanted it not to disturb the other tenants.

After sending all the new tenants back to their rooms, Su Tao rushed to the clinic.

It’s a pity that Dr. Zhong’s treatment was too fast. By the time she saw him, Chenxi’s face was already as good as new. When she smiled, she could still see her previous dimples, which were white and tender.

Su Tao was shocked and touched it:

"Has my Chenxi recovered? This little face looks so tender."

Chenxi giggled when she pinched her.

Zhuang Wan had obviously cried a lot, tears of gratitude welling up in her eyes:

"I recovered in less than ten minutes. It's amazing. Thank you so much, Dr. Zhong. The boss also thanks you. You are all Chenxi's benefactors."

Chenxi hugged Su Tao, then ran to Zhong Gaoyi, hesitated for a moment, stretched out her little hand and hugged him gently:

"Thank you, Uncle Zhong."

The child's sincerity was so ardent that it melted Zhong Gaoyi's heart.

He seemed to see his deceased daughter, as if it was just another pipe dream.

Afterwards, Su Tao discussed with him the follow-up treatment arrangements for Taoyang.

"Every day from nine in the morning to eight at night, with a two-hour break at noon. If you have any difficult patients, please notify Zhuang Wan immediately. Don't take it all on yourself. You're a doctor, your main priority is treating patients. We'll take care of everything else."

It was the first time that Zhong Gaoyi heard such words. Although he had Boss Gu to support him in Dongyang before, as long as no one was killed, he still had to deal with conflicts between doctors and patients himself.

He nodded. "Thank you, but let me be clear. I only treat traumatic illnesses like external injuries, internal organ damage, and amputations. I don't treat viral or bacterial infections. You can think of me as a repairman building a house. I fix whatever's broken or missing. If the house is dirty, infested with cockroaches or rats, or if bad people get in, I can't do anything about it."

Su Tao said: "I will make it clear in advance what I understand, and tenants in need must pass our screening to determine whether you can treat them before we can send them to you."

Zhong Gaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I've had patients with hepatitis A come to me for treatment before. It's not that it's completely incurable. Effective medication and surgery can cure it. The problem is that it's the end of the world now, and there's a shortage of medicine and equipment. My special abilities alone are completely ineffective."
