When Xiao Chen woke up the next day, he found that the view outside his balcony had turned into a white expanse.
Although the rain had stopped, the snowfall was much heavier than the precipitation. In Xiao Chen's memories from his previous life, the snowfall lasted for two whole months, and the area below the tenth floor was basically covered by heavy snow.
Although no one has died in Building 5 yet, if Xiao Chen remembers correctly, the first lucky guy to starve to death will be born in the next three days.
What is luck? In this kind of environment, dying young is indeed a kind of luck, and maybe you can even travel through time because of it.
That's getting off-topic. Although he knows the course of history, Xiao Chen won't interfere. What do their deaths have to do with him?
"However, it's a little chilly."
Xiao Chen felt a bit cold, so he slowly took out several boxes of charcoal from his strategic storage space and put them in the fireplace. Of course, only the fireplace in the living room was lit; the fireplaces in the other rooms could be lit when someone was lucky enough to move in.
As the charcoal was lit, the temperature in Xiao Chen's living room began to rise at a visible rate. After a short while, Xiao Chen took off his down jacket and began to enjoy the warmth.
At this moment, it was the perfect opportunity for Xiao Chen to take revenge. He took a picture of a warm campfire in the fireplace and then a picture of delicious hairy crabs on his dining table, and posted it to the group chat.
He also left a comment on the photo: "Ugh, so annoying. I don't know why it's so hot. Oh well, I'll eat first."
"Ouch, it's so cold."
In room 503, Shen Shuisi and Xu Qing woke up to find the temperature had plummeted and the outside was already frozen, so the two could only huddle together in their blankets to keep warm.
Xu Qing took out her phone and started scrolling, but she was quickly drawn to the photos posted by Xiao Chen in the household group chat.
"Sisi, look!"
Xu Qing quickly handed the phone to Shen Shuisi, who was also stunned by the scene.
After realizing what had happened, Shen Shuisi felt like she had grasped something. It seemed that Xiao Chen's family was the best off now. Xiao Chen had been her suitor before. If she agreed to become Xiao Chen's girlfriend, maybe she could go to Xiao Chen's place and enjoy a bonfire.
Xu Qing also thought of this, so she quickly said, "Sisi, you should tell Xiao Chen to let us go to his place. I don't want to suffer here anymore."
Although they still had food in their refrigerator, even they knew, even if they were naive, that the heavy snow probably wouldn't stop, so they strategically stored the food away, intending to eat a little when they were really too hungry to stand it anymore.
The main point is simply to survive.
"Mmm, just watch me."
Chen Shuisi was extremely confident in himself and quickly started operating the phone. At the same time, the homeowners of Building 5 felt resentful after seeing that Xiao Chen actually had such a good environment.
Tang Xiaohu was the first to speak out.
"Xiao Chen, as long as you give me your house, I guarantee that I will restore your status and position at Meiyijia. I can even use my connections to help you advance further within Meiyijia!"
At home, Tang Xiaohu looked at the messages on his phone with a confident expression. In his opinion, as long as Xiao Chen wasn't stupid, he would know what to choose. After all, he was the director of the regulatory bureau, and if the heavy snow stopped, the interpersonal relationships he could use after regaining his identity would be terrifying.
The others were stunned when they saw Tang Xiaohu make his move, but they were helpless. After all, Tang Xiaohu was the director of the regulatory bureau and had plenty of ways to kill them, and do so silently.
But a minute later, Tang Xiaohu was so angry at Xiao Chen's reply that he was pregnant.
"I'm sorry, Director Tang, your status is too high. I don't think you should come to a lowly place like mine. You deserve better."
"How dare you repair it! How dare you repair it! How dare this brat!"
In his anger, Tang Xiaohu almost smashed his phone. He knew that he was someone who was always flattered by countless people wherever he went, but now he was being humiliated like this by a kid who was almost ten years younger than him.
However, Tang Xiaohu, being a person of high rank and power, quickly regained his composure. Seeing that Zhao Xiaohua and Tang Jian were shivering from the cold, Tang Xiaohu knew that getting coal was the most important thing.
Xiao Chen must have coal, and it looks like quite a lot. After all, someone who can build a fireplace wouldn't be short of coal at home, would he? Thinking of this, Tang Xiaohu felt a little annoyed. He should have stored some coal at home. Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Tang Xiaohu quickly got to work, but he didn't back down to Xiao Chen in the homeowner group. If the guys in the homeowner group found out that he had backed down, he wouldn't be able to use his methods in the future.
Meanwhile, at Xiao Chen's home, Xiao Chen saw a vibration coming from Weixin, so he looked over.
"Interesting. This old scoundrel actually wants to add me as a friend? What exactly does he want?"
Although he was a little curious, Xiao Chen could actually guess what Tang Xiaohu wanted from him. It was probably food, something to keep warm, or his own house.
After thinking it over, Xiao Chen accepted the friend request. It wasn't that he was giving in, but rather that he wanted to give the other person hope before they fell into the abyss. For Xiao Chen, that would be incredibly satisfying.
Tang Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Xiao Chen had accepted his friend request. He was afraid that Xiao Chen would not accept his friend request.
We're already friends, let's start chatting!
Tang Xiaohu rapidly typed on the keyboard on the screen.
"I think we can reconcile. What do you think?"
Tang Xiaohu quickly edited a text message and sent it out. After seeing Tang Xiaohu's message, Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow and then edited a text message and sent it back.
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
In this matter, Xiao Chen chose to play dumb. Although Tang Xiaohu was very angry, his priority was to get Xiao Chen to agree to his request and then kick Xiao Chen out when he went to get the coal.
Indeed, Tang Xiaohu had never considered reconciling with Xiao Chen. Although Tang Xiaohu was now over thirty years old and a bureau chief, he was extremely confident in his close combat skills. In his fights with his subordinates, none of them were his match.
