Chapter 53 Chapter 53 (Update resume!) Oh, acting...
"Haha, I understand." Looking at the group that was in chaos and had more than a dozen messages appearing in a second, Chang Ruijia tried hard to force a smile and nodded to Lu Baian.
This scene is still very familiar. Let alone the fact that they don't know each other at all, in the past when all kinds of technology were still around, even if people knew each other, it would be understandable if they acted like idiots on the Internet.
After all, there is a screen between us, so no one knows whether the person on the other side is a human or a ghost.
But for Chang Ruijia, she hadn't seen such high-tech scenes for a long time. After coming to this world, she thought everything would return to its most primitive state.
As someone who used to be glued to my phone, seeing this nostalgic group chat scene again was really hard to resist.
However, although Chang Ruijia was still fascinated by the only two or three functions in the group chat and flipped through them several times, she finally suppressed this impulse with reason.
After a simple greeting in the group, he put it aside casually without waiting to play with it.
To her, even Lu Baian was just an acquaintance whom she had spent more time with, so it was not appropriate to show any special emotions.
If she wasn't worried about losing those monsters in the sea and not being able to survive in this world with her remaining exchange rights, she wouldn't even rush to get involved with other people.
Not to mention, there are several teams of strangers that I don’t even know if I have met before in this market.
Even though the group chat is now welcoming her with cheerful words, it's hard to say what other people are thinking.
Although he didn't know what Chang Ruijia was thinking, seeing her slightly perfunctory actions, Lu Baian didn't want to force her. Having lived to this point, no one would let down their guard so quickly.
"In the future, if it's not something particularly urgent, we can usually notify or discuss it directly in the group."
Lu Baian looked at Chang Ruijia who looked thoughtful and said.
After all, it is impossible for the affairs of this market to become the one-man show. We still need to discuss some things from time to time. Developing such a simple function will save everyone from squeezing out time to meet on weekdays.
Chang Ruijia nodded in agreement, pretending not to notice Lu Baian's little action of secretly putting it aside not far away.
It's fine now. They each got what they needed and provided more convenient conditions for each other. There is no need to show any deeper involvement right away.
Lu Baian didn't know that his little action had been seen. He just looked at the calm expression of the person opposite him and put back the wooden sign he was about to take out.
This was originally a certificate he had fought for in the team, which could be used to transfer Chang Ruijia's current position in the settlement area to a more central location.
The location there is basically the center of the entire market, which is certainly safer than the meager protection at the edge.
It was also their original little idea, wanting to make the seemingly mysterious Chang Ruijia have a better impression of them, but now it seems that it is not a very appropriate time.
"Is there anything else?" Chang Ruijia accepted the contact tool Lu Baian gave her, looked up at him in confusion as he didn't seem to be leaving after giving her anything.
"Ah, there's one more thing I want to discuss with you."
Lu Baian, immersed in his own thoughts, raised his head, rubbed his hands and said, "Since we are all family, can you have the right of first refusal when it comes to the materials?"
At first, looking at the cautious expression of the person opposite her, Chang Ruijia thought that she would be forced to do something as soon as she joined this team.
Hearing Lu Baian's humble, negotiating tone, Chang Ruijia couldn't help but secretly hold her forehead: How unapproachable is she? Even such a small request requires such a negotiation?
However, fortunately, this person's character is trustworthy and he did not make any special requests. Otherwise, if it was exposed so quickly, she would really doubt her own judgment.
As for the matter of the right of first refusal he mentioned, Chang Ruijia nodded in pretense of thought: "Of course. Since you have joined the market team, you are a part of the market. This right can still be given to you."
After all, it doesn't matter who you sell these things to. If you can find a long-term exchange partner, wouldn't that be better than setting up a stall in the market to sell them?
Looking at Lu Baian rummaging through his pocket after she agreed, Chang Ruijia added in her heart.
In fact, the item on the small note that Lu Baian took out was not difficult to find. It was just that when he was setting up a stall in the market, he was a little slow and it was bought by others first.
"If that group of people really couldn't get these things, I wouldn't have made such a request when you just joined." Lu Baian looked at Chang Ruijia and said with an awkward smile.
If those people hadn't urged him again and again, he wouldn't have just brought the person in and then gone straight through the back door.
"It's okay. We are family now, so we can still have these little conveniences." Chang Ruijia counted the things in her hand and raised her eyebrows at Lu Baian.
"Every seven days, we will hold a fixed meeting at the same location. If you have anything to do, you can also come to this meeting."
After trading the things that group of people had gathered to Chang Ruijia, Lu Baian hurriedly said something and left without feeling embarrassed to stay any longer.
Looking at the man's fleeing figure, Chang Ruijia couldn't help but smile and clicked on the private chat page with him.
[Chang Ruijia: Next time if you have anything you want, remember to send me a list a day in advance. Even if you go through the back door, be sure to pay attention to the time to avoid leaving empty-handed.]
[Lu Baian: (sweat) OK OK]
Most of the remaining items on her body had been exchanged by Lu Baian, and Chang Ruijia had no plans to return to the trading area.
Just think of it as leaving get off work early. Anyway, you might even be able to exchange supplies in the future, and you won’t have to “punch in” at the trading area every day.
However, even if she didn't turn around, the noisy voices in the trading area still reached her ears effortlessly from a distance.
Chang Ruijia kept paddling, but couldn't help sighing in her heart.
I don’t know whether her choice this time is right or wrong.
To be honest, I still feel uneasy about giving up my own life as the ultimate goal and joining an organization whose future I don’t know.
However, this is the best way she can choose for herself at the moment.
Before she knows what will become of those monsters in the sea, she must find a way to ensure a stable life in the future.
Chang Ruijia gripped the oar tightly in her hand, temporarily putting aside the uneasiness in her heart.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Since you have chosen to join an organization and live together in a mutually beneficial and win-win way of life, there is no need to hesitate and consider other unnecessary things.
Relying on others but maintaining her own life soberly is what she should strive for most now.
However, Chang Ruijia still didn't know whether joining this organization would bring her trouble, but she immediately felt the convenience it brought.
The next morning, Chang Ruijia just arrived at the trading area as usual, and saw a familiar person waiting for her at a stall nearby with a smile on his face.
"Hello, we should be considered old friends, welcome to join us."
Zhang Rui didn't see the surprised expression on Chang Ruijia's face as he wished. He still had a kind smile on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although she and Chang Ruijia had communicated several times in the trading area before, she never said that she was one of the members of the trading area. She thought that if she suddenly stood in front of Chang Ruijia today, she would be startled.
Before Chang Ruijia could say anything, Zhang Rui, who had stopped her, quickly spoke and stated his purpose.
"I greeted you in the group yesterday, remember? I'm here to exchange the items on this morning's list with you."
Chang Ruijia nodded and began to pick through the things that had just appeared.
Glancing at the girl opposite her, she saw a relieved expression on her face. Chang Ruijia chuckled to herself as she carefully looked through the things.
I don’t know what happened, but after last night, Chang Ruijia suddenly found that the people opposite her seemed to have put a special label on her.
Deep-minded and hard to talk to?
Chang Ruijia, who was carefully selecting the redemption items for them, said that she was obviously a sincere stall owner who was very easy to talk to!
How could you "misunderstand" her like this?
However, although I don't know where this idea came from, I always feel that my mystery value has increased all of a sudden, and I have avoided a lot of small troubles.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with thinking this way. As they spend more time together in the future, if their relationship changes, it won't be too late to break down the "barrier" then.
Let her enjoy this feeling of having her pussy full for two days!
Thousands of thoughts were running through Chang Ruijia's mind, but she didn't show any of them on her face. Instead, the smile that had already been on her face at the market deepened, making people feel mysterious just by looking at her.
Zhang Rui successfully exchanged the items on the list from Chang Ruijia. He had originally wanted to try to get close to her, but he had already given up on the idea. He hurriedly said something and went to his own stall.
"I'm usually stationed in the trading area. Remember...don't forget my face. They usually look for me when they have a deal, and they contact me if they have anything."
Feeling the gazes on his back, Zhang Rui's smiling face suddenly turned bitter.
Oh my god! When we first met, she was such a humble and polite girl. How come after we got to know each other and became involved, she turned out to be so scary?
Especially that smile on his face! Zhang Rui took a deep breath, feeling as if all his secrets had been seen through. It was really scary.
No one knew what Zhang Rui, who disappeared in a flash, was thinking. Contrary to her usual habit, Rui Jia quietly rubbed the corners of her mouth, which were almost stiff and twitching, in a corner where no one could see her.
Alas, acting is not easy!
