However, people are not satisfied with this speed.
Despite drinking coffee and strong tea, their nighttime activities were still out of sync with their biological clocks. They were all yawning, feeling like their vision was blurry, but they had to force themselves to stay awake, rub their eyes, and keep working.
So, Shen Yanming didn't take back the two small glass bottles he had taken out. By the end of the night, the coffee was almost gone, while the tea, because it could be brewed multiple times, hadn't decreased much.
Shen Yanming simply put the tea bottle in the water dispenser's storage cabinet. It saved them the trouble of repeatedly coming to his desk!
Guo Tingshuo checked the time; it was getting late, already 3:15.
He said to everyone, "Go back, we'll continue tomorrow night. See if you can handle it. If not, we'll switch to working during the day. Anyway, the pustules on your faces won't go away, so a few more won't make a big difference, right?"
Guo Tingshuo's words made everyone laugh.
But none of them had the energy to joke with him. They packed up the files, shut down the computer, and prepared to leave.
Guo Tingshuo watched as Shen Yanming finished packing his things and asked him, "Where did you buy your coffee? It tastes pretty good!"
Shen Yanming used his usual excuse: "It was given to me by a friend in Nanshi. Do you need it?"
Guo Tingshuo nodded: "The guard team won't grow these kinds of inappropriate food and drink, so if you have any connections, please ask around for me."
"Sure, but I can't guarantee whether they'll give me roasted coffee beans or ground coffee powder."
"That's fine, as long as the taste is guaranteed."
Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow, thinking that Guo Tingshuo was quite picky. Nevertheless, he nodded and agreed.
Upon hearing this, others also placed orders with Shen Yanming. Shen Yanming did not refuse, but he could not guarantee that he would have the goods.
"It's too late today, let's wait until tomorrow. I'll call a friend tomorrow and ask, and if they have it in stock, you can tell me how much you want."
"Well, Lao Shen, could you ask your friend if he has any other good stuff? We can buy or exchange for it."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Oh, I don't think so. He stopped doing the reselling business last winter. I asked him because I thought he knew a lot of people and might be able to find a source of goods."
"Huh? Being a reseller isn't so bad, at least you can at least have enough to eat these days!"
"But it also attracts envy. Look, how many small-time traders have been targeted and suffered losses? He's doing so much, how could he not be afraid? Besides, his family members are sick and need care, and objective circumstances don't allow him to continue doing such risky things."
"Oh, I see!"
“Actually, having a stable job is pretty good. I suggested he become a contract worker, but unfortunately, the contract worker team has never been hiring.”
Guo Tingshuo laughed after hearing this: "You can tell your friend to get ready. I estimate that another recruitment announcement will be released soon. It's just that the conditions are strict this time, and I don't know if he will be able to be hired."
"Alright, I'll let him know in advance. As for whether we can get in, we'll leave that to fate!"
As they talked, the group walked out of the office building.
After the other colleagues left, Shen Yanming pulled Guo Tingshuo aside and asked in a low voice, "Where's Meng Wu? Why didn't he come to work?"
Shen Yanming noticed it as soon as he arrived at the office, but seeing that no one asked, he kept quiet.
To be honest, although he changed jobs, his limited working hours meant he was still quite distant from everyone. They weren't at the point where they needed to call or text each other regularly.
Upon hearing this, Guo Tingshuo's smile vanished instantly. He said, "Meng Wu's boils are quite severe, so he's still resting at home and it's inconvenient for him to come out."
"Is it that serious?"
Guo Tingshuo nodded. "I went to see him. Because he was among the first to fall ill, the doctors and nurses were inexperienced, which caused the pus to flow to other places and infect normal skin."
There were too many pustules on his face and arms. At the hospital, nurses helped treat them, but the hospital couldn't cure them and he had to go home to rest.
He's all alone at home, and there's no one to help him..."
Shen Yanming sighed, unsure of what to say. He had a solution, but it wasn't convenient for him to share it.
well!
After parting ways with Guo Tingshuo, Shen Yanming went home.
The room was still pitch black, so he turned on the light, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and changed into a clean set of pajamas.
When he came out, it was already getting light. Shen Yanming flashed into the space.
I strolled from the storage area to the planting area, and then into the mobile villa, only to find my wife still soundly asleep.
Even the two babies, with their little mouths slightly open, were incredibly cute.
He smiled, lifted the covers, and got into bed. He stretched out his arm and pulled his wife into his embrace.
Bi Qiaoan felt someone moving her and tried to struggle to wake up, but heard a familiar voice: "It's me, go back to sleep!"
When she woke up, the man beside her was gone.
Bi Qiaoan wondered if she was dreaming, but when she stepped out of the bedroom, she realized that it wasn't a dream at all!
Because her husband was preparing breakfast for her!
Pan-fried cod, vegetable salad, fruit topping, bread, milk, and a fried egg. What a balanced meal!
Bi Qiaoan stepped forward and hugged Shen Yanming's waist, but was so startled that she let go the moment he turned around.
Then, with an awkward laugh, she apologized, "Honey, oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot..."
Bi Qiaoan pointed at Shen Yanming's face and continued, "I've gotten used to you not having any pustules lately, so when I saw it all at once, I didn't react."
Shen Yanming smiled and didn't seem to care.
Last night, after my wife applied the medicine powder to his skin, she slipped away. I didn't even see the medicine take effect or a boil appear.
"It's alright, come on, let's eat!" Shen Yanming said, rubbing Bi Qiaoan's head.
Bi Qiaoan nodded her little head and sat down at the dining table. She waited for Shen Yanming to put all the food on the table before she started eating.
While eating, Shen Yanming chatted with her about his work last night.
"I'm not used to working at night. My vision is getting double, but I still have to keep going."
"Didn't you say you'd switch to daytime work?"
"I've considered it. But I don't think so. The pustules on everyone's faces can't get any worse; they're too serious."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and said nothing more.
"They want to buy coffee, and the premium kind at that!"
Bi Qiaoan raised her head and asked, "Are we going to sell the products produced in this space to them?"
Shen Yanming shook his head: "No, it's too risky. I'll call Zeng Yiming and ask. If it's okay with him, we'll use his. We can always mix in some coffee beans grown in our space."
"Yes, we can mix in the ones we buy from abroad. They're all top quality, no worse than those produced in the space."
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
