Chapter 55 Preparations Before Starting a Business



"Yes. Kill them."

If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.

Xia Chuhe understood this principle.

Her hesitation was not because of the lives of those two villains.

Instead, she couldn't understand how she could treat human life so lightly.

She thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with only one reason.

Perhaps, this is just her nature.

Previously, in civilized society, there was no need to solve problems with violence.

But this is a wasteland world, where violence is the fastest and most effective way to solve problems.

Xia Chuhe adapted very well.

03 He was very efficient. In about ten minutes, he obtained the head of the target and gave Xia Chuhe the coordinates outside the base.

At noon tomorrow, the target's head will appear precisely at this coordinate. Xia Chuhe can verify the authenticity of the head on the spot.

Things were resolved too smoothly, and Wang Yan felt like he was holding a hot potato with the million yuan: "Sister Xia, you've given me too much."

Xia Chuhe doesn't do business at a loss; one million isn't just for this one thing.

"Tomorrow you'll go outside the base and help me check the head count. You've met Yan San'er before, haven't you?"

"I've seen him before, I've seen him before." Wang Yan stomped on him furiously. "He looks like a little scoundrel, I would never mistake him."

“I need your help with something else.” Xia Chuhe pulled out his pistol.

The pistol was a special pistol issued by Five Star Company, which Five Star Company had not retrieved. However, Xia Chuhe only had three magazines and one bullet, a total of sixteen rounds.

The fact that a pistol can deal with vultures indicates that it's effective against other mutated creatures as well. From now on, this will be one of Xia Chuhe's frequently used weapons.

Xia Chuhe asked, "Do you know where I can buy special bullets?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "Five Star Company does not sell special weapons that can damage mutated creatures. However, some smugglers now have self-developed bullets. Although they are not as effective as those from Five Star Company, they are still usable and stronger than ordinary weapons."

Xia Chuhe smiled jokingly: "You also have the contact information of smugglers, don't you?"

Wang Yan grinned widely: "Sister Xia, I make a living by acting as a middleman and earning referral fees. It's safe and the money comes in quickly."

Wang Yan pledged his loyalty to Xia Chuhe: "As long as Sister Xia needs me, all my connections belong to her."

Xia Chuhe was satisfied; this younger brother was quite sensible.

Wang Yan hesitated and said, "However... Five Star Company usually retrieves weapons after a mission, Sister Xia..."

Xia Chuhe thought that the housekeeper's sudden increase in loyalty might be a benefit he deliberately left for her after seeing the sachet.

If her identity does not match the butler's guess, the butler will definitely find an excuse to take the weapon later.

But now, Xia Chuhe no longer has such worries.

She could even try to use the butler's connections; perhaps she could obtain genuine special bullets developed by Five Star Corporation.

Xia Chuhe put the matter of weapons aside for the time being; the most urgent matter was something else.

As the farm became more prosperous, Xia Chuhe also began to plan his business as a grain merchant.

In order to develop his career, Xia Chuhe needed to have his own place to live; he couldn't keep staying in hotels forever.

Xia Chuhe has requirements for his residence: "I want to buy or rent a detached house with a yard. The house can be small, but the yard should be at least 30 to 50 square meters."

Wang Yan looked troubled: "There are such houses, but... they are very expensive, you can't get one for less than ten million."

Xia Chuhe: "..." This housing price is almost the same as that of the city center of a first-tier city in a civilized society.

Wang Yan added, "If it's just for temporary residence, you can buy a house on the ground. There are also houses for sale above the base, which are much cheaper. The base has built a shell to protect the houses from wind and sand, and there are occasional patrols by guards."

"Price?" Xia Chuhe was afraid to hear about points that were worth tens of millions. Although she had money, she mostly intended to give it away to others.

"If it meets Sister Xia's requirements, it can be done for under one million."

Xia Chuhe breathed a sigh of relief. It was even cheaper than the suburbs of first-tier cities. Not bad at all.

Wang Yan: "The base does not provide warranty service. If any mutated creatures wander over and damage the buildings, you will need to repair them yourself."

Xia Chuhe: "..."

Sure enough, you get what you pay for.

But since it was so cheap, I went for it.

He also left the house-buying matter to Wang Yan, and then Xia Chuhe, the manager, went to find the housekeeper to improve their relationship.

She opened her watch and found that the butler had sent her two messages, less than an hour apart.

First message: Miss Xia, Shi Jianhe and Yan San have received their due punishment. No one at the base will cause you any further trouble.

Second message: Did you do what Shi Jianhe and Yan San did?

Xia Chuhe revealed a playful smile.

What kind of person is a housekeeper?

Xia Chuhe didn't know much about the butler. Based on their previous interactions, the butler seemed to be a somewhat serious and old-fashioned person, who was methodical in his work but also a little flexible.

Xia Chuhe replied: What Shi Jianhe? Yan San? I don't know. My men only accidentally injured two insignificant vagrants.

Butler: Yes, I understand Miss Xia's meaning.

Judging from the butler's reply alone, Xia Chuhe could not discern his attitude towards the matter.

However, upon opening the follower's handbook, the butler's loyalty level had dropped to 75.

Xia Chuhe: ...

This person is also heartless.

Without waiting for further information from the housekeeper, Xia Chuhe took the initiative. With loyalty as a safety net, there was nothing to fear.

Xia Chuhe: When I asked you about your cufflinks before, did you find out where they came from?

The butler was bubbling with joy. He had been worried that his savior might actually be a little girl interested in sparkly things.

But Xia Chuhe really liked the way he handled Shi Jianhe and Yan San.

How could someone like that be a little girl?

The senior officials at both the North Tiger Base and the Caishi Base believed that the murders were carried out by people sent by Five Star Company, and they were still regretting that they hadn't dealt with the people thoroughly enough...

Xia Chuhe's actions were a triple win: they eliminated future troubles, demonstrated formidable military strength and operational capability, and inadvertently intimidated the senior leaders of the two bases.

The housekeeper imagined Xia Chuhe's brilliant three-birds-with-one-stone strategy, and was filled with boundless joy.

However, this happiness shattered instantly when Xia Chuhe sent him a message.

Doesn't the savior recognize the symbol of Project Spark?

Does the savior really like shiny things?

Xia Chuhe saw the housekeeper repeatedly saying, "The other party is typing..."

Meanwhile, loyalty fluctuates repeatedly between 70-80-70.

Xia Chuhe didn't understand. Was it really that hard to answer a question about cufflinks?

Just a second before Xia Chuhe's patience was about to run out, the butler finally replied to the message.
