Su Tao felt a headache when she heard this:
"It sounds like a rumor. Dongyang has a garrison and the city walls are under construction. It won't be easy to breach the city. Those who spread these rumors are just trying to create anxiety."
It also increased the workload for Zhuang Wan and others to deal with people who came to ask questions.
Shi Ziyue nodded: "It is indeed a bit disturbing. Sister Pei should be able to handle it, so don't worry too much. By the way, last time you asked me to find a teacher, I have someone who is particularly suitable, but she is not a teacher, but my classmate. Is that okay?"
"But don't worry, Sister Taozi. My classmate has excellent academic performance and is a very hardworking and intelligent girl. It's just that her family is a little financially strapped, and the four of them live in a dormitory. She's often harassed by the perverted old man there."
Su Tao reacted: "Did you tell me? I have some impression that there are four people in her family and both children are girls, right?"
Shi Ziyue nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, her name is Sheng Yulan, and her sister is Sheng Yuqing. They are both very amazing sisters."
"Sheng Yulan has a photographic memory, and her sister Sheng Yuqing is very good at sand table combat. My brother once led a sand table exercise class at our school and personally praised Sheng Yuqing for having the demeanor of Sister Pei."
When Ziyue said this, she felt a little sour:
"Sheng Yuqing is one year younger than me. My brother has never praised me like this. Of course, my sand table skills are not very ideal. My brother said that I am straightforward and only know how to act tough in battle."
Su Tao smiled and said, "Just from the names, I can tell these two sisters are not ordinary people. They are really good names. It's rare to hear you praise someone like that. They must have some real skills. How about this, you bring Sheng Yulan to Taoyang in the next two days."
Shi Ziyue jumped up happily, took Su Tao's hand and said, "You will definitely be satisfied when you see her."
Su Tao patted her: "The main thing is to find a teacher for Fang Zhi. If he can teach me, I will be very satisfied."
Lin Fangzhi, who was standing aside, didn't care and was combing Bai Zhima's hair seriously.
Bai Zhima kicked his legs comfortably.
Shi Ziyue looked at Lin Fangzhi and always felt that this man was a little stupid. She suddenly worried that her good friend could not teach him.
At noon, several people had stir-fried vegetables and clear pork rib soup made by Grandma Cen.
Lin Fangzhi was stunned when he was eating. He was not a talkative person to begin with, but now he was like a dry eating machine, his eyes glued to the bowl and couldn't be taken away.
Grandma Cen particularly loves him. Just watching him eat makes her appetite improve a lot even though she is old.
Grandma Cen touched his head and said with a smile:
"You've gained some weight and look more handsome now. Are you full? If not, grandma will get you some more."
Lin Fangzhi held the bowl and burped softly, his eyes still a little dazed.
Grandma Cen was about to smash the spoon full of ribs into his bowl.
Su Tao quickly stopped her: "Grandma, don't feed him. Sometimes he doesn't know when he's hungry or full, and he gets bloated easily."
The next second, the ribs were thrown into her bowl: "Good boy Taozi, then you eat it."
Lin Fangzhi's eyes immediately cleared up, and he imitated Su Tao and picked up some food for her: "Peach, eat it."
Facing the mountain of bowls, Su Tao held her forehead and forced herself to "share" her food with Shi Ziyue.
Just after finishing her meal, Su Tao received a call from Ma Dapao.
"Boss Su! I've contacted the mercenary team for you. Have you heard of 'Leopard Road'? Last year, they took on a mission to transport weapons from Shou'an to Changjing. Fourteen of them, and during the two-month journey, only one person was injured. They killed over two hundred zombies, and the cargo was transported without any damage. This record is undeniably top-notch, as you should be familiar with since you've been outside the base."
Su Tao said: "I have vaguely heard about their deeds. They are quite capable, but the price they asked is not low. How did you negotiate it?"
Ma Dapao was rather embarrassed. “They didn’t bother to talk to me, a small fry. Their captain said he wanted to talk to you in person. He’ll probably come to Panliu Mountain to see you tomorrow afternoon.”
"That's fine. How are you doing now? Are you still in the underground shelter?"
"Thank you for your concern, boss. I'm out now. The zombies have retreated here. I'm contacting the chef I found earlier. Once I find the cleaning staff and the front desk, I'll bring them to Panliu Mountain for your review."
Su Tao thought about it and transferred 10,000 federal coins to him, and said:
"Thank you for your hard work. I can't let you do it for nothing. Also, things like asking for connections and finding people require some arrangements. Take it. Also, be careful out there. Your life is the most important thing. Call me if you need help."
When Ma Dapao heard these words, tears welled up in his eyes.
It’s really not easy lately.
There are really not many people in the last days who have a clean background, good character, and are not missing any limbs.
The cooking also has to be good, and having experience as a chef is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He paid for someone to inquire about the matter out of his own pocket, owed favors to others, talked his mouth off, and ran himself dry.
There were also people from "Baotu" who initially thought he was a nobody and were unwilling to pay attention to him. It took them an entire night of persuasion to finally get him on board.
It's all bitter tears when I talk about it.
Ma Dapao had never thought that the young boss would consider these things. He just wanted to do things well so that he could have a big tree to rely on in the apocalypse and live a more stable life.
I didn’t expect that the boss kept it in mind.
This is not just giving money, it's giving warmth.
"Boss Su, don't be fooled by my usual glib tongue. I can't say anything nice right now. I just want to say that I, Ma Dapao, will do my best to carry out your orders."
In the afternoon, Su Tao went to the office building and saw that Zhuang Wan and Qian Rongrong were busy as hell, answering phone calls one after another, most of which were asking if Taoyang had any vacancies.
Zhuang Wan took a quick sip of water and said to Su Tao:
"It's so difficult. I told you there were no rooms available, but I didn't listen. Someone even doubled the price and tried to move in. After I politely declined, he cursed my ancestors for eighteen generations."
Qian Rongrong also looked hopeless: "I think some people have gone crazy after hearing what was said outside. They called me and threatened me that if I didn't find him a vacant room, he would come to Taoyang and kill me, or kill every tenant in Taoyang he saw."
Su Tao's face darkened: "From now on, the two of you should stop answering the phone. We will only accept inquiries from our internal tenants. They are all outrageous people."
As she was speaking, her own communicator rang, and it was someone named Gu again.
Before Su Tao could even say hello, the person on the other end asked directly:
"Is there any room available in Taoyang now?"
