"Oh, my phone is dead."
Qin Bai said calmly.
"No power? A young guy like you wouldn't have power? You're kidding me!"
Cao Fengjiao didn't believe a word of it, but she didn't come here to talk about this.
"Let's not talk about that. You were assigned to shovel snow, why didn't you go? Do you know that everyone else went, and you were the only one who didn't? Who do you think you are, huh?"
"Do you know that this is an order from higher authorities? If our community gets criticized by higher-ups because of you, can you bear the responsibility?"
Faced with Cao Fengjiao's barrage of questions, Qin Bai had only one response: "I want to know how this person was elected. Was it a democratic election, or was it just Cao Fengjiao's one-man show?"
Cao Fengjiao's face immediately changed, and she pointed at Qin Bai in a shrill voice, shouting, "You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about! Say it again! I, Cao Fengjiao, have worked myself to the bone for the community. Even if I haven't made any great contributions, I have certainly put in a lot of hard work. And this is how you talk to me like that?"
"Everyone, look at this! What kind of people are these? How can they talk like that? I... I don't want to live anymore!"
Cao Fengjiao's transition from anger to tears was seamless, leaving Qin Bai in awe of her exceptional control over her expressions.
Cao Fengjiao's performance was clearly meant for the people behind her, and sure enough, they got excited and stood up to shout.
"Qin Bai, it's one thing for you not to work, but now you're talking to Committee Member Cao like that. Don't you know how to respect your elders?!"
"No wonder you could do something like not shoveling snow. I never thought there would be someone like you in our neighborhood!"
"Apologize to Committee Member Cao right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
These men were all burly, and their mere presence exuded a powerful sense of pressure.
Qin Bai remained unmoved, glancing at them indifferently: "That's right, then the snow-sweeping is your responsibility."
As he spoke, he prepared to close the door.
But they blocked the door, and a muscular man said directly, "Trying to run? Where do you think you can run to?"
Just as he was about to make his move and teach Qin Bai a lesson, he suddenly noticed that a sharp object had appeared abruptly in front of him!
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a fruit knife!
"Let go, don't make me say it a second time."
Qin Bai's voice was cold. The burly man was frightened by the fruit knife, after all, the tip of the knife was less than five centimeters away from his eyes. He subconsciously let go, and the door was closed.
For a moment, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.
They originally came to give Qin Bai a hard time, but ended up being the ones who got a hard time instead.
This situation made them look very unpleasant.
The most embarrassing one was Cao Fengjiao. She had thought that this time she could let them teach Qin Bai a good lesson and establish her authority.
As a result, Qin Bai was completely unharmed, and she even got scolded by Qin Bai!
How can we tolerate this?
"You little brat, open the door! Open the door now!"
This time, even if she broke her hand, Qin Bai still didn't open the door.
This door is specially made; it can't be opened by ordinary bombs, let alone their flesh and blood.
Cao Fengjiao looked at her red and swollen hands, glaring fiercely at the door: "Don't think you'll get away with this, you little brat, don't fall into my trap again!"
"Let's go!"
After hearing the sounds outside the door disappear, Qin Bai leaned back comfortably on the sofa.
In fact, he sensed something was wrong after seeing that he was on the snow removal list.
Although many of the things he did were different from those in his previous life, he shouldn't easily change the snow removal list unless...
Someone is sabotaging us in the shadows!
In the entire neighborhood, there are only two people who have some similar circumstances to him.
Qiao Lianyi and Lin Qin!
As for the others, he was not familiar with them.
"Was it made by Qiao Lianyi or Lin Qin? Never mind, it doesn't matter which one it was."
A cold smile appeared on Qin Bai's lips.
Although the end times have come, this is only the beginning. The state apparatus is still in operation, and if he makes a move now, the police can still arrest him.
He needs to wait some more time until the state apparatus completely collapses and humanity is unleashed before he can act with impunity!
As for now, he goes back to playing video games.
Qiao Lianyi thought her actions hadn't been exposed, but she underestimated her fake best friend, Lin Qin.
Lin Qin had already guessed from some clues that Qiao Lianyi and Cao Fengjiao had made some kind of deal to put Qin Bai on the snow-sweeping list.
"Qiao Lianyi, you brought this on yourself, so don't blame me."
Lin Qin smiled strangely and then sent a message to Qin Bai.
She didn't directly point out that Qiao Lianyi had asked Cao Fengjiao to put his name on the list, but her words conveyed the same meaning.
Qiao Lianyi did this!
Qin Bai naturally saw the message Lin Qin sent, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Lin Qin is capable of anything for those five million. Such a person is actually quite terrifying, but Qin Bai doesn't care at all.
Currently, five million is still useful, but after a period of time, five million will be worthless!
No, people nowadays use electronic payments, so five million is just a bunch of numbers!
It's not even worth as much as waste paper!
Because the heavy snow blocked the roads, the snow shovelers worked themselves to the bone and could only open a narrow path leading to each building. The idea of truly clearing all the snow was just a pipe dream.
Outside the residential area, everything was covered in a blanket of white snow, making it impossible to find the road.
As a result, they couldn't buy any food at all, and for the past two days they had been eating the food they had saved up.
Things that might have been dismissed before have now become delicacies.
Qiao Lianyi and Lin Qin never cook at home, which means there's not a single decent meal in their house.
All they had were various snacks; without these snacks, they might have been starving.
They don't eat a lot of snacks, as they are always trying to maintain their figure and only eat snacks occasionally.
"Yiyi, we don't have many snacks left. Even if we eat them sparingly, we can only have them for one day. What should we do?"
Lin Qin looked at the few scattered snacks on the table and felt very regretful.
If she had known it would snow this heavily, she should have bought more.
Qiao Lianyi pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think Qin Bai might have any food? I remember when he just finished renovating, he seemed to say that he would buy some things to keep on hand, right?"
Lin Qin's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Yes, he must have some food there. Why don't we just go and get some from him?"
In their eyes, asking Qin Bai for some food was a way of giving him face.
They hadn't considered the possibility that Qin Bai might refuse.
