Chapter 34 United Front



In the evening, Shen Yanming enjoyed a sumptuous dinner prepared by Bi Qiaoan. After eating and drinking, he lay on the sofa, watching the news and asked Bi Qiaoan: "How was your day at work today? Are you adapting?"

"I'm not used to it at all. I only worked for a few months after graduation in my previous life. Then came the end of the world and my rebirth. I haven't been detained like this for many years. However, my colleagues at the unit are all quite kind." Bi Qiaoan told the truth.

"Well, there is no conflict of interest when you first go there, and they generally won't make things difficult for you. Don't be picky at work in the future, just complete the tasks assigned by the leader. There is no need for us to compete for excellence." Shen Yanming reminded Bi Qiaoan worriedly.

"Yeah, I know. Hehe, I don't seek to achieve anything but to avoid mistakes." Bi Qiaoan nodded. "How about you? Is everything going well?"

"Yeah." Shen Yanming didn't say much.

"You are so outstanding that your leader will definitely make use of you!" Bi Qiaoan felt that Shen Yanming would shine wherever he went.

Shen Yanming chuckled, “I will try my best to restrain myself.”

In this way, the two of them competed to be invisible people in the unit, not standing out or causing trouble, neither outstanding nor lagging behind, they could complete the work assigned by the leader well, and never asked about things that the leader did not say.

Therefore, no matter old colleagues or new colleagues, they all like these two people very much. After all, they pose no threat to them.

Especially Shen Yanming, who was favored by the leaders as soon as he arrived at the unit. His demeanor showed that he was capable. But after getting along with him for a while, they found that Shen Yanming was completely different from what they thought. It seemed that he was just here to get by and was not motivated at all. So they let down their guard against him, and the relationship between colleagues became much more harmonious than before.

On the first weekend of early November, 1602 welcomed its first wave of guests.

Zhang Heping, Ji Kangyong and Li Zhaozhao came to the door with a bunch of gifts.

Bi Qiaoan hurriedly invited the three of them into the house and asked Chen Yanming to entertain them. He took out peanuts and melon seeds from the cupboard and put them on the table, and then refilled the tea for the three of them.

Bi Qiaoan saw Li Zhaozhao winking at Shen Yanming, so he quickly said, "You guys chat, let's all have lunch at home, I'll go prepare it first."

Bi Qiaoan was about to leave, but Shen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan back, “Just say it directly, Qiaoan can be trusted.”

Li Zhaozhao stared at the two men's tightly clasped hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Qiao An, we trust Yan Ming. If you dare to spread any of what we said today, I, Fatty Li, will never let you go until I die!"

Shen Yanming's face darkened after hearing this, but Bi Qiaoan was not angry. He held Shen Yanming's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yanming and I are one. I won't let anything happen to him. The same goes for you. If you say something you shouldn't say, I, Bi Qiaoan, will fight you to the death!"

As he spoke, a cold and murderous aura burst out from Bi Qiaoan's whole body.

The three of them were frightened. They didn't expect that the delicate and cute girl in front of them would have such a terrifying aura.

"Hey, what are you doing? We are all in this together, so just be quiet. Qiao An, I promise you that I, Zhang Heping, will never betray Shen Yanming."

“Me too, even if someone finds out in the future, I won’t expose Shen Yanming.” Ji Kangyong also nodded.

"Me too. We have known each other since childhood. Shen Yanming has done us a favor in this matter. I will not be the ungrateful person!" Li Zhaozhao also quickly expressed his attitude.

Bi Qiaoan smiled and nodded, "I am just like you, I just want to live a good life. We have the same goal, we all work hard to survive!"

At this time, Shen Yanming also spoke up: "It's better to open up. You guys came here today for something important, right?"

"Well, we have almost finished preparing everything. Let me come and tell you." Speaking of business, the three of them hurriedly reported the progress.

"It's not just what you said. Zhang Heping has read a lot of apocalyptic novels. We discussed it and decided to prepare the supplies according to what was recorded in those novels." Ji Kangyong nodded and said quickly.

"You don't know, we worked really hard to get these things. In order not to arouse suspicion, we moved them little by little from other orders. It took us so long to get such a small amount of things.

We did try to erase the traces, but we don’t know if anyone will find out in the future.” Li Zhaozhao complained as he spoke.

"We have prepared four warehouses of supplies, one for each of us. However, these supplies have passed through the hands of the three of us, so they have nothing to do with you on the surface.

I thought, you should transfer all the materials in your warehouse privately. If they are found out in the future, at least your share can be saved. Then we can rely on you for support, and we won't die. "Zhang Heping said his thoughts seriously.

Ji Kangyong and Li Zhaozhao also nodded in agreement.

Shen Yanming was silent for a while and then nodded, "Okay, you should also be careful not to let anyone catch you."

At this time, Ji Kangyong said, "Yanming, if possible, please take away half of the things in my warehouse. Don't tell me where you are taking them to. When I really can't keep this half of the warehouse, I will come back to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhaozhao also said hurriedly: "Yes, I think so too. Even if they find us, they can't find you. At least you can leave us something to save our lives. We feel relieved when we put it in your hands."

Shen Yanming was a little hesitant. It was undoubtedly safe to put it in his own hands, but there were also hidden dangers.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you can't keep the things you have in the future, I will accept it.

Although the old saying goes that you can't put all your eggs in one basket, but the ones in my buddy's hand can't be kept, and the ones in your hand are probably the same. I put them in your hand just for psychological comfort, just in case, right? "Zhang Heping smiled bitterly. Facing the unknown, no matter how much preparation he made, he was still panicking!

"We too, will never make things difficult for you, nor will we betray you." Ji Kangyong and Li Zhaozhao also quickly assured.

Shen Yanming was silent for a long time before speaking, "Okay, but you all have to prepare a list. We brothers have to settle accounts clearly. And, it is indeed as you said, I cannot guarantee the absolute safety of the supplies. If there is really an accident..."

"We will never embarrass you. We can write you a letter of guarantee!"

Shen Yanming nodded and did not refuse.

Chen Yanming knew that the letter of guarantee was useless. The reason he agreed to the three of them was because these childhood friends of his had indeed collected a lot of supplies with great care. Moreover, if the three of them really got into trouble in the future, could he use the supplies of his brothers to enjoy a good life and let his brothers suffer?

We have to help them anyway, so we might as well save some supplies for them from the beginning so that our brothers won't have any psychological burden when they use them later.
