Chapter 23 A Small Gift



Those who spoke out in support were either single or had girlfriends who weren't around.

This sparked an argument in the group about who should take more food, the man or the woman.

Qin Bai lay on the massage chair, enjoying the top-of-the-line massage while watching the group of people fighting like dogs.

"Domestic version updates are too slow. I suggest you learn from foreign countries. They have evolved to have more than a hundred genders, like Walmart shopping bags and armed helicopters. You guys are not good enough."

Qin Bai kept shaking his head.

After watching for a while, Qin Bai decided not to continue watching.

After all, the insults they use are always the same ones.

After a hearty dinner, Qin Bai returned to his room to rest.

But at that moment, Qin Bai discovered that Qiao Lianyi had made a video call to him.

Why are you making video calls so late at night?

Qin Bai was somewhat surprised, but he still chose to answer the call.

As soon as the call connected, he saw that the other side was completely dark, and he could only vaguely make out some outlines of Qiao Lianyi.

The effect was about the same on Qin Bai's side because the lights were off.

"Qin Bai, do you have a flashlight or candle? I'm so afraid of the dark. Can you come over and stay with me outside the door, just like before?"

Qiao Lianyi said in a sweet, delicate voice.

Her words, however, successfully brought back a painful memory for Qin Bai.

That happened after Qiao Lianyi was dumped by Jiang Haochang. To take care of Qiao Lianyi, he went to her place almost every day.

He didn't even leave at night, but Qiao Lianyi wouldn't let him into the house, so Qin Bai decided to stay outside the door with her.

At that time, he believed that by doing this, he could win the heart of the goddess.

Looking back now, he was even sillier than an idiot back then!

"Goddess, I..."

Qin Bai stopped moving abruptly, remaining motionless and unresponsive no matter how much Qiao Lianyi called out to him.

"Why does this lousy network always freeze at crucial moments?"

Qiao Lianyi muttered unhappily and closed the video.

Qin Bai only returned to normal after Qiao Lianyi turned off the video.

"Hmm, as expected of me, I even came up with this trick. It's a pity we have to wait a while longer."

Qin Bai turned off his phone and went straight to sleep.

The next day, many people waited anxiously early in the morning, all hoping to be among the first to receive the airdropped supplies.

Finally, around noon, someone sent a message in the group.

"Look at the sky!"

A huge box with a massive parachute slowly descended from the sky, landing in a relatively large open space within the residential area.

Upon seeing the supplies arrive, Cao Fengjiao, already dressed in thick clothes, waited below.

The outside temperature is terribly low. If it weren't for the food, who would want to come down?

Cao Fengjiao had already gathered a group of people to keep watch and maintain order once the supplies arrived.

If anyone dares to steal supplies, just take action.

These supplies are their lifeline; no one can afford to mess with them.

Finally, the box was lowered, and under Cao Fengjiao's instructions, they opened it. Inside were neatly arranged compressed biscuits and some salt and other supplies.

"Ahem, those who want to come and collect supplies next, I will have someone check your homes. If you have a lot of food, you will not be allowed to take it. These supplies are for people who have no supplies at all, understand?"

It must be said that although Cao Fengjiao is not a good person, she is impeccable when it comes to getting things done.

Seeing Cao Fengjiao's businesslike demeanor, Qin Bai's lips curled into a cold smile.

Only he knew that Cao Fengjiao was not the kind of person who would do anything for others.

At first, she distributed a lot of food and gained the support of many people, but she took the rest of the food home, giving some to a few lackeys.

Later, when someone asked her for food, she simply said that she didn't have any left, as it had all been distributed.

She did all the statistics herself; no one knew she had taken so much food.

If it weren't for the accident that later exposed this matter, Qin Bai wouldn't have known that Cao Fengjiao was so ruthless.

She embezzled nearly a third of the supplies by herself!

She hasn't embezzled yet, so there's no point in talking about it now. Only when she actually embezzles the house will the public's anger be something she can't afford to provoke.

"Thank you, Committee Member Cao. You are such a kind person."

Each resident who received several bags of compressed biscuits expressed their deepest gratitude to Cao Fengjiao.

It was as if she had bought these supplies with her own money.

What left Qin Bai speechless was that Cao Fengjiao accepted their thanks without hesitation.

"You're welcome, it's all I should do."

Qiao Lianyi was also in the group. As for the person who went to check, she had already thought of a solution.

Before the man even entered the room, Lin Qin slipped him a pack of cigarettes and some snacks.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Lin Qin said with a smile.

The searcher immediately understood Lin Qin's meaning, touched the cigarettes and snacks, and immediately smiled.

"Yes, I've checked. There's nothing to eat. I'll go talk to Committee Member Cao in a bit."

The two exchanged knowing smiles, and the deal was struck.

As a result, Qiao Lianyi also received food for two people, which was more than what they had given away.

Snacks can't compare to compressed biscuits; these things can really fill your stomach.

Not only them, but others also used the same method.

When it was finally Qin Bai's turn, Cao Fengjiao immediately shouted, "Qin Bai, who let you come here? You have so much food at home, what right do you have to come and collect food?"

With just one sentence, Qin Bai attracted the attention of everyone around him; he's now a celebrity in the neighborhood.

Of course, the kind with a bad reputation.

Despite the stares of so many people around him, Qin Bai remained calm: "I've finished all my food, why can't I come and get some more?"

"You've finished eating? Are you kidding me? You finished so much food in just a day or two?"

Cao Fengjiao sneered.

"If you don't believe me, I can take you there right now."

Qin Bai said calmly.

Cao Fengjiao was immediately puzzled. Qin Bai was so sure, could it be that he really ate it all?

After all, she had just said that only those who had nothing to eat could receive food. If Qin Bai really had no food, it would be a slap in the face for her not to give it to him.

"I don't believe it, I'm going to search it myself."

Afterwards, Qin Bai led Cao Fengjiao and the others back to his home, allowing them to search the place at their discretion.

No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find a single bag of snacks.

I didn't see anything special, not just snacks.

Qin Bai had long known that Cao Fengjiao definitely wanted to come in, so he naturally put some things into his spatial storage.
