Chapter 248 Is this kicking someone when they are down?
I don’t know whether the Jade Emperor will appear.
But the female soldier did stop clicking her hands and screamed:
"Are you kidding me? Out of stock?"
The sound was so miserable and explosive that it instantly attracted responses from everyone.
"No way? Really out of stock?"
"I haven't had time to place an order yet. Who bought it just now? Hurry up and share it!"
Amidst the angry shouts of the crowd, a female soldier with short hair bent over nervously, holding a handful of tissues, and tiptoed out.
Woohoo, why can't I use my powers here? I have to run out and throw it into space. Friends, I listened to you and took a huge risk. You must hold on.
A pair of exquisite little leather boots suddenly appeared in her sight, and the female soldier took a step back in fright.
"P-Boss Xia?"
Xia Yan nodded, "Want to go out?"
The female soldier stood at attention, folded her hands in front of her, used her body to block the paper, and took a step to the right to make way. "Okay, I'll be back in a moment."
After saying this, she marched away, her steps anxious but still standard.
Xia Yan withdrew his gaze and walked into the store.
The originally noisy space became quiet the moment the female soldier called out her name. Everyone lined up with serious faces.
If Xia Yan hadn't heard the noisy commotion, he would have believed it.
"Out of stock, please come back to buy after it's restocked." An electronic prompt sounded from the machine.
The finger that was poking at it was instantly retracted when Xia Yan saw it.
Xia Yan found it funny, but he didn't point it out and just followed the acting cooperatively.
"Oh, it's out of stock. Please make way for me so I can restock it."
She followed the aisle that everyone had made way for and restocked the vending machine.
"Don't disturb everyone—"
"It's out of stock. Please come back to buy it after it's restocked." The prompt voice interrupted her.
The first female soldier in line bent down to take the goods from the exit below, carried the things to the back, handed them to the space ability user of her team, and then lined up at the end of the line again, looking at her with her big eyes blinking again and again.
Seeing this, Xia Yan restocked the stock.
"Out of stock, please come back to buy after it is restocked."
She continued to restock...
After a few trips, the number of people queuing did not decrease and the faces became more familiar.
After repeating this several times, Xia Yan stopped and said, "How about this, how much do you need? I'll pick up the goods according to your needs."
The people in the queue also breathed a sigh of relief, as they were also nervous about the old man's behavior of collecting eggs.
In order to avoid mistakes, Xia Yan asked them to discuss in teams first, and then come to her to buy goods together. She would count the numbers so that she could purchase the goods.
While their team was discussing, Xia Yan restocked the vending machines and took everyone to the leisure area in the lobby to sit down.
After a while, the captain of each team came over, told the quantity they needed, deducted the corresponding points, and Xia Yan delivered the goods.
The leisure area is not far from the gate, so those with space abilities don’t have to walk far to go outside and put all the supplies into the space.
The female soldiers who received the goods felt relaxed and looked at the space ability user with warm eyes as if they were seeing a priceless treasure.
The captains waved their arms and decided that after they had solved the problem of stockpiling, they would go upstairs to take a good bath and have a comfortable sleep.
When drinking water, one should remember the person who dug the well. Before leaving, everyone paid tribute to Boss Xia and expressed their gratitude.
Xia Yan said there was no need to rush, as they could thank him together after buying the watermelons.
...
Female soldiers prefer to buy fresh-cut fruit platters. They don’t ask for just one kind of fruit to fill them up, but just want to try a variety of flavors.
The sales of half-cut watermelons are actually lower than before.
Xia Yan didn't mind. It didn't matter what he sold, he could earn points anyway.
There are separate dressing rooms in the men's and women's bathrooms, with enough cabinets. However, because the washing machines are in the front hall, someone needs to be left behind to take the clothes out of the washing machine and put the dirty clothes back in.
Everyone was very tired and wanted to rest inside. No one wanted to stay, including the male soldiers, who had a pile of clothes lying there.
"What should we do then?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. If they didn’t wash it, they would have nothing to wear tomorrow. If they washed it, who would stay here?
The team leaders were also in a dilemma and glanced at Boss Xia who was standing by the window.
I wonder if she could ask her staff to help?
But her shop assistants all seem to be mysophobic, so I'm afraid they won't agree...
Suddenly someone thought of something and clapped his hands, "Captain, I have an idea!"
"Hurry up and tell me."
"Looking for those people downstairs."
"...That's not good. They're tired too."
"It's not for nothing, we'll give you the crystal core."
"That's not good either."
Everyone was silent.
Yes, even though I was just helping to get the clothes, I always had this inexplicable feeling of being superior.
They are already miserable enough, and you still want to "kick them when they are down"?
The man who came up with the idea thought for a moment and continued, "We're not asking them to help us, but we're not being condescending. Look at them risking their lives and working so hard to shovel the debris. What are they doing for?
For them, it's fair to pay a little effort in exchange for a crystal core. Compared to some people who abandon moral ethics to survive, they are very upright. "
That’s right, that’s the truth.
Seeing that everyone had relaxed a little, she added, "In addition to giving them crystal cores, we can also treat them to watermelon. Okay, don't worry about it. I want to go in and take a shower."
The captain was persuaded and agreed, and sent someone to ask the other party if they were willing. It was useless for them to discuss it alone, as it mainly depended on whether the other party was willing.
After a while, a series of irregular footsteps were heard in the stairwell.
In addition to the people she sent, there were several other people following behind her, and the leader was Sang Zhengyi.
The captain stood up and went forward to explain the situation and the amount of reward she could offer. In fact, she already knew that the fact that so many people came up meant that they could succeed.
Perhaps it was because her teammates were too reasonable, so when she saw the other captains coming over, she was actually happy for them.
There were only dirty clothes, no underwear, and it was a fully automatic washing machine. They just needed to help stuff the clothes in, take them out and lay them out to dry. It was a very simple job.
Sang Zhengyi agreed immediately and handed the work to the women behind him. He distributed the remuneration equally in front of everyone and did not keep any for himself.
The first team did as they were told and ran to Zhigang to take back half a watermelon, which frightened the women so much that they kept waving their hands and refused to take it.
"It's not a hard job. You gave me a lot of crystal cores. How can you collect watermelons? They are too expensive. You can keep them for yourselves."
That's fruit, it's extremely expensive.
The women dodged each other, and the captain put away his smile and said seriously, "This is General Chu's intention. It's a benefit for you. I won't be able to explain myself if you refuse."
They looked at Sang Zhengyi, and only he could understand the hidden worry in their eyes.
He nodded and said, "It's okay, take it. It's just an ordinary watermelon, nothing special."
Only then did they feel relieved and thanked Guo again and again while holding the watermelon in their arms.
Without further delay, the female soldiers rushed behind the shower curtain and disappeared.
