Volume 1_Chapter 48 Eye of Terror



Mei Xingxian took the opportunity to wander in front of Gu Mingchi and said flatteringly:

"Master Chi, our news report has been quite effective. Many people are afraid to apply for housing in Taoyang. But news has its timeliness, right? If you think highly of me, I'll talk to my father in Taoyang and ask him to let me move in. From now on, I'll be your spy in Taoyang. I'll report any developments to you immediately. Let's keep producing negative news and have a lasting impact."

Mei Xingxian felt that his luck was about to change. If he could win the favor of Boss Gu, a rapid rise to the top would be no problem. He would no longer have to live in a stinky ditch and do hard work.

Gu Mingchi looked at him through his silver-rimmed glasses and sneered:

"Will Taoyang let you in after this? Do you think I'm easy to fool, or are the people in Taoyang blind?"

Besides, he finally understood that Su Tao didn't care about reputation at all.

He lost this game.

The deputy who had been with him for many years noticed his displeasure and began to sweat. He was about to remind Mei Xingxian to get out, but before he could do so, the guy said smugly:

"After all, I am my father's only son. He has the quota. As long as he agrees, Taoyang has no right to restrict who he gives it to. Who is Taoyang? She is just a young girl who has just come of age. There is nothing to be afraid of."

The deputy felt that disaster was about to happen.

Mei Xingxian is such an idiot. The boss just lost to Taoyang, and you say Taoyang is nothing. Doesn't that mean the boss is nothing at all?

Sure enough, Gu Mingchi's smile gradually widened.

Mei Xingxian became even more complacent, thinking that what he said was right and that he had won his favor. Just as he was about to insult and vilify Tao Yang again, he suddenly saw him take off his glasses, revealing his captivating amber eyes.

Just one glance,

Mei Xingxian felt as if his whole body was pinned to the spot by iron nails, unable to move at all. Infinite fear rose in his brain, and the fear was like a sharp blade piercing deep into his soul, causing him to collapse instantly. He gouged out his eyeballs like a man in a rage, and blood splattered all over the floor.

The deputy's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, head down and not daring to move.

The Eye of Terror strikes fear into everyone's heart.

——

At one o'clock in the morning, Su Tao walked out of the room yawning, holding a stack of drawings.

The weather is indeed getting warmer. In mid-April, I don’t feel cold even in the middle of the night wearing short sleeves.

And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Su Tao always feels that this summer came especially early and quickly.

Mr. Mei gave three sets of drawings, one for the design of the central park in front of the cafeteria, one for the design of the office area, and another for the expansion of the apartment.

Su Tao planned to start from the Central Park, but she ended it just as she began, because to build public outdoor facilities such as fountains or swimming pools, she had to upgrade to level 4 and unlock the facility store.

To upgrade to level 4, you need to expand 10 more rooms.

Su Tao opened four more single rooms and six more double rooms, bringing the total number of floors in Apartment Building No. 1 to 6, with a total of 34 rooms.

The total cost of renovating the ten rooms was more than 36,000 federal coins.

I still have more than 370,000 federal coins left, which is enough for upgrading.

Su Tao gritted her teeth and clicked on the upgrade button.

Total assets - 200,000 federal coins.

Meat, a little painful, covering my chestjpg.

[Congratulations to the host, the landlady system has been upgraded to 1v4 level, two bedrooms and one living room*1 has been developed, and public facilities and shops have been unlocked. Please accept it.]

Su Tao is so touching, it is really not easy. The higher you level up, the harder it becomes.

Seeing that another night had passed and dawn was approaching, Su Tao decided to leave it at that for today and continue tomorrow night.

As soon as she lay down, White Sesame and Black Sesame jumped lightly onto her bed, snuggled up beside her pillow and fell asleep together.

When she woke up, it was already afternoon. Su Tao got up hungry and looked for food. She got a lunch box from the cafeteria, but after eating it, she suddenly felt it was a bit bland. To put it bluntly, she was tired of it.

The furry kids are almost weaning age, and Su Tao is still worried about what to feed them.

Before the end of the world, people fed cats with cat food or raw meat and bones, but now there is definitely no place to produce cat food, and raw meat and bones are also a bit difficult to get. You need contribution points to buy them from the farms at the base.

I'll think of a solution next month after I'm truly weaned.

After dinner, Su Tao went to the office as usual and saw Mr. Mei writing and drawing on the coffee table in the living room on the first floor.

She sighed, and finally did not stop him. People always have to have something to worry about.

I went to two more apartment buildings and found that the new cleaning lady was very enthusiastic about her job and had cleaned the handrails of the stairs spotlessly clean.

Su Tao smiled and asked her, "Are you used to coming to Taoyang?"

Qi Yunlan had never seen Su Tao before, and thought she was a tenant here, so she said cheerfully:

"It's a habit! I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this. I used to be a slop cleaner at a farm. I won't describe the environment there. A clean-cut girl like you would definitely not be able to stand it. Now that I've come to Taoyang, I thought the apocalypse was over. Haha, I feel like I'm not here to work, but to enjoy myself. Haha, everyone loves cleanliness. I feel like I have nothing to do. So I clean everything I see. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease with my salary."

"My former sisters at the farm envy me for my good luck. The boss in Taoyang is very generous. Not only is the salary higher than before, but lunch is also provided. The bento boxes in the cafeteria's freezer are cheap and delicious."

Su Tao looked at the half-eaten lunch box on the windowsill and raised her eyebrows, as if to tease: It's so delicious, why is there still some left?

Qi Yunlan was particularly embarrassed: "I couldn't bear to eat it, so I left half a box to take home for my family to try. We haven't eaten this kind of food in a long time since the apocalypse. Taoyang's food is delicious, but if I eat one more bite, I'll feel sorry for my husband and daughter who are still suffering outside. To save money, I skipped lunch and made do with what I had when I got home at night."

Su Tao's heart softened immediately. She went back to the cafeteria, packed two more lunch boxes, and bought two bottles of milk from the self-service beverage machine and returned them to her.

Qi Yunlan actually refused outright: "No, this won't work. This is taking advantage of you. I can't accept it. I didn't put in any effort. I feel guilty about taking it."

Su Tao didn't expect her to be so persistent, and found it quite rare, so she said:

"Could you please clean the public sink in the cafeteria?"

Unexpectedly, she still refused: "This is my job, it's what I have to do. How about you tell me where your room is, and I'll clean it for you after get off work today, but I only need a bottle of milk. The other things are too much. It's not worth that much for me to just clean a room."

Su Tao really admired her and couldn't help laughing: "Auntie, what's your name?"

Qi Yunlan was stunned for a moment but still said her name.

Su Tao smiled and said, "Okay, then how about rationalizing it as an employee benefit?"

Qi Yunlan was a little confused, but the next second she heard the little girl make a phone call:

"Wanwan, from now on, let Aunt Qi Yunlan be in charge of the cleaning management of Taoyang. Raise her salary to 8,000 federal coins, and provide an extra meal. Also, after April every year, provide the aunts with daily drinks as a high temperature allowance."

The high temperature subsidy was something that Mr. Mei told her about during a casual chat. Before the end of the world, some companies with good welfare benefits would subsidize employees with allowances or cold drinks in the summer.

Qi Yunlan was stunned.
