Chapter 20 Death Gift Pack
He Rui planned to keep watch here alone.
Even though he already knew the exact date of the doomsday from Ji Changqing, he was worried that the protagonist would run away quietly.
In order to avoid not being able to get the upper hand, he prepared to block the other party's door.
He Rui thought, since he had already bought this floor and there was no one else there, why not just move a bed and sleep across the door to Room 703 after everyone left?
The temperature at night in October is not cold even if you lie in the corridor.
But he was a little worried that if he slept like this, he would be kicked awake by the protagonist who wanted to go out the next morning.
The employees did not want to leave and prepared to go together to protect the young master's safety.
He Rui drove away seven of them, leaving only two.
One can pick locks and there is also an assistant butler.
He Rui ordered a takeout, and the three of them ate while standing at the stairs.
He was hungry all day.
I've been in a rush all day and I was starving before I even printed out the contract.
Standing by the window at the corner of the stairs, He Rui looked out silently. The residential buildings opposite were lit up, and the comfortable and peaceful night scene was no different from a normal residential area in China.
The deputy butler beside him suddenly sighed.
He Rui looked over in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Why sigh at him?
The gentle middle-aged man looked reluctant, "Master, you've never been so embarrassed as to stand outside to eat in your life. Sigh."
When this person said this, the locksmith next to him also sighed.
He Rui was speechless for a moment.
The employees all sighed and felt sorry for him because he had to eat while standing. This rich second generation was really too spoiled.
When he was in the army, he had to lie in the mud and eat compressed biscuits. According to this young master's standards, would he be so wronged that he would die instantly?
But thinking about it carefully, no matter what others do, He Rui feels that he is indeed quite immoral.
Although he didn't mean to do it, the existence that these people cared about was destroyed by him for no reason.
In a way, he also deprived that guy of his life...
He Rui's expression became a little unnatural. He lowered his head and ate silently, avoiding eye contact with the two people.
I hope that the rich second generation has also possessed his original body.
In this way, the best case scenario is that they can exchange bodies again in the future.
If you can't change it back.
At least the other party can continue to live on Earth using his shell, which is better than just disappearing inexplicably.
....
There were only two elevators on the first floor, so it took a long time to get there. It was past ten o'clock before all three families had finally moved out.
The time has come to use the locksmith.
The reason why He Rui kept the other party was that he planned to discuss how to install a sturdier door under the guidance of a professional.
He was more worried that after the end of the world began, neighbors upstairs and downstairs would really come to pry open his door.
After all, it only took the expert a few minutes to open the fingerprint lock of the protagonist's house.
It seems that in the hands of someone who knows how to pick locks, prying open the door is not a problem at all.
If it wasn't so late, he would have wanted to call someone to install the door overnight.
He also wanted to help the protagonist reinforce the doors and windows to gain some favorability.
But that guy has a weird temper and may not be willing to pay attention to him.
He Rui opened the door of 701 and walked into the empty house. Pointing at the door, he asked the two people beside him, "I want to add another door to these three houses. How should I install it? Can it be installed tomorrow?"
The two employees looked at the door, and the deputy housekeeper replied, "If we want to install a door, we can add another one inside this security door, but it will definitely not be done in one day.
If you want to buy a door, it will take at least two weeks, and that's for a paint-free door. Security doors may take a month to arrive. After all, sizes vary, so you have to contact the factory to order now, so it won't be possible to buy a suitable one in a short time.
Even if you pay more to expedite the order, it will still take quite a few days.
Unless they happen to have the right one in stock.”
"Ah, if it's just a month then forget it..."
He Rui was quite disappointed.
The daylily is cold after a month.
Having never bought a house before, he thought that doors were just like the goods displayed in supermarkets and could be bought on the same day.
He Rui sighed and said that he could only hope that after the end of the world, there wouldn't be any professionals with lock-picking skills living upstairs or downstairs in this building, or among the neighbors in other buildings.
Seeing his frustration, the locksmith next to him discussed with him, "Master, I happen to have a tape measure with me. How about I just measure the dimensions directly and then have Brother Lin contact the factory to see if they have security doors of the right size in stock?"
What else could He Rui say? He nodded and said, "Okay."
The lock picker took out a tape measure and asked the housekeeper to help him fix one end of the tape measure, and the two of them started measuring the size.
He Rui was watching from the side. "If there's no suitable door, then I'll change the lock. Do you have a good, sturdy lock? One that can't be easily pried open and has good anti-theft performance?"
"To prevent theft, no matter what kind of lock it is, just lock the door from the inside with the key, turn it all the way in, don't remove the key, and lock all six pins.
That way, even if someone outside uses a master key, or a wired bank card, they're basically stuck." The locksmith answered distractedly while measuring the dimensions.
He Rui thought that it was impossible for him to stay in the room with the door locked all the time.
When I go out in the future, I’m afraid that when I come back, all the supplies stored at home will have been taken away by thieves.
The deputy housekeeper looked surprised. "You don't live here, and our manor has excellent security. The outer courtyard's electronic fence also has an alarm system, so you don't need to worry about theft."
He Rui thought that he couldn't live in the manor.
Although the big house in the center of the manor has five floors, the height of each floor is about four meters.
The top two floors should also be high enough to avoid being flooded.
But he came here just to follow the protagonist and get some safety.
And we can’t move the protagonist into the manor.
So he can only go where the protagonist is.
But to be honest, the area of the top two floors of the manor house is enough for this group of employees to live in.
But he didn't know whether there would be an earthquake in that place in the future, and he couldn't ask all the employees to move there.
Otherwise, what if after the end of the world, the manor collapsed due to an earthquake, and all the rich second-generation employees would be caught by him and sent away without a single one left, buried under the ruins.
That's equivalent to him giving a collective death gift package.
The manor became the burial place for these poor employees.
Even if he doesn't believe in ghosts or gods, if something like this happens, he will have to worry about ghosts knocking on his door in the middle of the night.
After all, he lacks virtue.
So he didn't want to bring it up to avoid taking responsibility.
"I'm planning to live here, but I'm afraid the door can be opened easily from the outside." He Rui explained with a shrug.
When the two men heard what he said, they were stunned. They stopped measuring the size and turned back to look at him.
"It's such a small house, where should we put so many of us..." The lock picker looked puzzled.
The butler also had a questioning expression on his face.
He Rui's expression was even more puzzled than the other two. He didn't expect that when he moved, these employees would actually want to follow him.
Why are these people so caring towards the rich second generation?
Even his own father was not so nice to him. These older brothers are only 10 to 20 years older than him. Does this rich second generation regard all these employees as relatives?
It doesn't seem like a superior-subordinate relationship where they just pay salaries, but it feels like the employees really care about and take care of this "young master" from the bottom of their hearts.
He Rui recalled that this rich second generation didn't even have his parents' contact information on his phone. He guessed that it was very likely that he grew up under the care of this group of employees.
This is a difficult situation.
He Rui felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two people who were kind to him because he was a rich second-generation.
If the driver had not come to rescue him before and had not been involved, it would have been fine. He could just give him a severance pay and then each of them would have gone their separate ways when disaster struck.
But today, the driver led a group of people to rescue him. Even though he was no longer in danger before the rescue was successful, this group of people still owed him a favor.
What's more, these people are probably the original relatives of this body.
He could no longer treat them as paper dummies in novels, and not care about their life or death.
