Chapter 289 Lucky One or Unlucky One? (shuhaige.net)



After hanging up the phone, Shen Yanming returned to the security room and told Chen Shunwei the result.

Chen Shunwei nodded in understanding, but still felt it was a pity that there were two gaps in the middle.

Shen Yanming thought for a moment and asked Chen Shunwei to go home and bring two more sacks. They were originally meant for Ke Wenpei and his group, but their fighting ability was obviously not good enough. It would be better to let Chen Shunwei and his group deal with them first, so that they wouldn't get damp if left for too long.

Upon hearing Shen Yanming's words, Chen Shunwei immediately nodded in agreement, "Then I'll go over and move it when the power comes back on, around seven o'clock."

Shen Yanming nodded, said goodbye to Chen Shunwei, and drove home.

Because Zhang Heping went home, they were finally able to have a decent meal that night. However, Shen Yanming was still a little worried about the guy, afraid that he would be eating instant noodles at home and have nothing to eat.

Suddenly remembering Ji Kangyong, Shen Yanming couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He hadn't paid attention to Ji Kangyong's food and drink for a long time. Was this a case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease, while the silent ones were ignored?

So, Shen Yanming cooked a little extra for dinner, saving a portion for Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong.

However, since meat was not allowed, Shen Yanming only made them three kinds of potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers and seaweed and egg drop soup.

After it was cooked, he packed it into lunchboxes and went out to deliver the food to the two of them.

Zhang Heping was quite surprised when he received the lunchbox. "I thought you two wouldn't take care of my food and drink. I was just about to eat instant noodles. I didn't expect that you two would be so considerate, Lao Shen!"

But you didn't need to make this special trip; I could have just called and come over!

"Can't you see? I'm the one who's annoyed by you being a third wheel!"

Zhang Heping's smile froze on his face, and his feet, which were about to walk out, also froze on the spot. "No, it can't be that bad, can it?"

"Tell me, how would you feel if I interfered with your relationship with Xiaoqian?"

"Of course I'd beat you up, but you two are practically an old married couple..."

"Who said that? Does it look like it? Let me tell you, Joanne and I are newlyweds, we're on our honeymoon every day."

Zhang Heping thought to himself, "You two have been married for a year or two and you're still acting like newlyweds? Only you shameless person would show off your love every day."

But he still smiled and said, "Alright, alright, as long as you two don't forget my food!"

Then he turned and went into the kitchen, poured the vegetables and soup into a bowl, returned the empty lunchbox to Shen Yanming, waved his hand and said, "Go back and enjoy your honeymoon."

Shen Yanming nodded, and after packing the remaining dishes and soup into a lunchbox at home, he went downstairs to find Ji Kangyong.

Compared to Zhang Heping, Ji Kangyong was much colder. After thanking Shen Yanming, the two parted ways.

Shen Yanming didn't ask him how things were going with Li Yueya, and Ji Kangyong didn't say anything either. Both of them felt it wasn't necessary to bring it up, since it was still uncertain whether they would end up together.

After Shen Yanming returned home, he and Bi Qiaoan enjoyed their dinner. With no one to disturb them, they had a seafood feast with fish, shrimp, scallops, crabs, and more.

After finishing their meal and washing the dishes, Chen Shunwei arrived. Shen Yanming asked him to move two sacks of dried fruit, and then put the rest into his spatial storage.

Friday arrived quickly.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan waited in the office for a long time but did not see Ke Wenpei and the others. So Bi Qiaoan waved to Yu Shui and pulled up a chair for him to sit next to her.

"Yu Shui, do you know where Ke Wenpei and the others went? Did they take leave?" Bi Qiaoan asked in a low voice.

"They went to sell goods. They came to the office before 9:30 in the morning, carried their things, and left. I don't even know if they signed in or not." Yu Shui also spoke in a very low voice, as if she were whispering.

"How did you know that? You arrived so early too?"

"Oh no, I ran into the four of them at the intersection at 9:45 and said hello. Judging from the distance, they must have come out quite early."

“Okay…” Bi Qiaoan nodded, indicating that she understood, and then took a handful of pine nuts from her pocket and stuffed them into Yu Shui’s hand.

Yu Shui happily stuffed it into her pocket without making a sound, and only sat back down when she saw that Bi Qiaoan had nothing more to ask.

After the water left, Bi Qiaoan glanced at Shen Yanming and saw him nod, so she knew he had overheard their conversation.

Then, without saying anything, I quickly made spreadsheets and organized the data, trying to finish next week's work ahead of schedule.

It was noon soon, and when Bi Qiaoan saw that Ke Wenpei and the others had not returned, she whispered in Shen Yanming's ear during lunch, "Are they so eager to make money that they're skipping work?"

This was exactly what Shen Yanming feared, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only say to Bi Qiaoan, "Let's eat. The leaders will probably be coming over for a meeting soon."

"I know, it's just that I realized how daring they are. Why did they have to skip work today? Aren't they afraid of getting caught?"

"They probably forgot. Alright, let's not worry about them and let's eat!"

Bi Qiaoan nodded and quickly started eating.

At 12:45, everyone had finished eating and cleaned up their dishes. At that moment, Zhu Shiliang brought Hong Lixia in.

After confirming the group assignments once again, Zhu Shiliang took out eight or nine slips of paper for everyone to draw lots, each containing the name of the neighborhood they would be responsible for.

Because the number of available housing units in each community is different, Zhu Shiliang could not divide the area evenly, so he could only divide several neighboring communities into one area according to the principle of proximity.

As for how many houses are available in this film, that depends on luck.

Moreover, no one can say for sure whether the residents assigned to these different communities will arrive all at once or in stages.

If we arrive together, it's fine; we'll only be tired for a few days.

But if they arrive one after another, they have to wait outside from the first day until the last family arrives.

It's freezing cold, who could stand it? Besides, the other party might arrive in the middle of the night.

Therefore, there is a significant difference in the workload. Zhu Shiliang couldn't directly assign tasks, so he could only let everyone draw lots; whether they were lucky or unlucky was entirely up to fate.

Shen Yanming was the one who drew the lots for Bi Qiaoan's group because everyone thought he had good luck.

Upon opening the note, it listed the locations of Jiarun Community, Huiqian Community, Xingxingwan Community, and Shuiyunyuan Community, totaling 546 rooms.

"Damn, Lao Shen, you're unlucky today. You actually drew the area with the most rooms," Yu Shui exclaimed.

"No way, even the luckiest person has a bad day? Come on, let's all come and see."

Those who hadn't opened the note gathered around Shen Yanming, all feeling fortunate that their luck had turned around that day.

Although Yu Shui, Li Yinhe, Cui Xian, and Chen Qing, who were in the same group, felt that Shen Yanming was having a bad run of luck, they didn't pay much attention to it because they usually got along well.
