Chapter 242 The Shen Family Obtains High-Level Resident Status
The news spread quickly, and military families began to have their applications reviewed and registered one after another.
Mrs. Shen was very pleased with herself when she learned of this.
At the exchange meeting held at the hillside villa, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but boast.
“My Jiaojiao is really amazing. Her captain is very optimistic about her special ability. Other military dependents haven’t even registered yet, but her dad and I have already gotten our status.”
The wives surrounding her felt a pang of jealousy, but they still had to put on ingratiating smiles and say flattering things.
"Your daughter is indeed quite capable. I wonder what level of status you obtained?"
Mrs. Shen, with an air of arrogance, raised her chin before speaking:
"It's a senior resident status."
Those who heard this felt even more heartbroken.
Mrs. Shen, seemingly oblivious to the sour looks from those around her, continued:
"As you all know, it's extremely difficult to obtain the status of an upper-class citizen. I've heard that there are only a hundred villas in the wealthy district, so the status of an upper-class citizen is definitely out of the question. Being able to become a senior resident is already quite good."
"You've all been reviewed and registered, right? I'm guessing you're mostly ordinary residents, right?"
When Mrs. Shen saw that they suddenly looked unhappy and no one spoke, she knew that she was right and became even more pleased with herself.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about this. Actually, being a regular resident is already pretty good. You should be able to get a small house, which is better than being a commoner."
The ladies surrounding her all looked disgusted. They knew she was deliberately showing off and trying to annoy them, but they could only force a smile.
There's nothing we can do; they've all gotten advanced resident status thanks to their daughter.
If I go to live in the Doomsday Fortress later, they will have a higher status and might be useful to me. For now, I can only close my eyes and fawn over them.
"Mrs. Shen, your daughter is amazing. Your family will be living a comfortable life from now on. Please don't forget us neighbors."
"Yes, yes, we can keep in touch more often in the future. The children are all grown up now. Once they've settled down, shouldn't we start arranging their weddings?"
"Yes, yes, even though it's the end of the world, it doesn't stop people from dating and getting married. Mrs. Shen, your daughter Jiaojiao is almost of marriageable age, shouldn't you look for someone for her?"
Many of these wives, living in wealthy families, have had several children, and quite a few have sons.
Mrs. Shen naturally knew what they were up to.
There were many families that the Shen family couldn't even dream of meeting before, but now, seeing them fawning over her and eyeing her daughter, Mrs. Shen couldn't be happier.
“My daughter Jiaojiao has her own ideas, and I can’t make decisions for her.”
"As you all know, she's in the military now, and she comes into contact with a lot of people. Take the chief of staff's grandson, for example. He's a colonel at such a young age, and he's very handsome. He seems to have a bit of a thing for my Jiaojiao."
After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, the other wives' eyes were filled with jealousy, but they had no choice but to praise Shen Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao has really made something of herself, Mrs. Shen, you are so lucky."
"If your Jiaojiao could marry into the Chief's family, things would really be different."
Mrs. Shen straightened her back and stood up, muttering to herself as she left.
"Of course! My Jiaojiao will only rise higher and higher in the future. In this Doomsday Fortress, status and rank are very important. Those with higher status and rank should naturally be with people of the same level. You will understand this in the future."
Mrs. Shen left smugly after showing off.
The ladies were all furious and their faces turned ugly. As soon as she left, they started cursing and swearing.
"What the hell? Do you really think you're so great? We'll see!"
"Her daughter, I don't think she's anything special. She's average-looking, and I've heard her character is mediocre too. How could the eldest grandson of a family like her? She must be bragging."
"Isn't Colonel Xiao Li, the grandson of Chief of Staff Xiao? I seem to remember him being close to Lin Muyan. I haven't heard of him having any dealings with Shen Jiaojiao."
"Hmph, she's definitely bragging. But it's quite a coincidence. Isn't Lin Muyan the fake heiress from the Shen family who was switched at birth? I think Lin Muyan is more presentable. That Shen Jiaojiao is so petty and doesn't deserve to be my daughter-in-law. I wouldn't be willing to have her as my daughter-in-law."
"Exactly, they really think they're something special. I heard that status levels are maintained by points, and who knows, they might be squeezed out of the high-end residential area one day. What's so great about that?"
"..."
The next day, Lin Muyan gave the military a new roster of 100 million people.
Because only minor adjustments were made, Lin Muyan did not make any special notes, and the military would not question Lin Muyan, so no second review or confirmation was conducted.
"Miss Lin, when will this group of people be able to land at the Doomsday Fortress?"
Lin Muyan: "Pass down the notice and give them a day to pack their bags. They will start landing early the day after tomorrow. I will personally be there to supervise."
The news that 100 million people were about to land in the Doomsday Fortress spread quickly.
The first batch of people who were approved and registered were excited.
This was definitely a major event that shocked the entire Special Administrative Region. For a time, everyone was discussing and anticipating it.
Most of the 100 million people are original residents of S City. In order to live in the Doomsday Fortress, many of them rode their bikes from a long distance, and now they are riding back to pack their luggage without stopping.
No matter how tough or tiring the journey is, I'm not afraid; I'm not afraid even if zombies suddenly appear.
Nothing could stop them from entering the Doomsday Fortress.
The next day, Lin Muyan went to the Doomsday Fortress again to ask Wei Turing and the others to help out the next day.
There are many robots in the doomsday fortress, capable of performing most basic tasks.
However, such a large-scale landing of all citizens still requires someone to lend a hand, which is a good opportunity for Wei Turing and his team to participate as well. They can also contribute their efforts to managing this huge doomsday fortress in the future.
On the way back, however, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a ridiculous scene.
Lin Muyan spotted Rong Muchen in the queue at the dock.
He hasn't even had his registration approved yet?
Right, Lin Muyan remembered that the names of the other members of the Rong family were on the list of those 100 million yuan, but they were given ordinary resident status. She didn't care about it and there was no need to forcibly kick the Rong family into the commoner area.
In any case, the Rong family still had some private property. It is said that they donated all the remaining clothing fabrics from their light industrial enterprises and gave them ordinary resident status.
However, Lin Muyan did not see Rong Muchen's name on the roster.
I didn't think much of it at the time; the person was none of my business anyway, and I quickly forgot about them.
Seeing him now reminds me that he didn't register with his family. Why did he only think of queuing up when it was almost the end?
No, he wasn't alone. There was a young female military dependent in front of him who seemed to know him.
