In the cafeteria, Yin Xue was arranged by Yang Tian to stand aside and maintain order with the employees of the villa, and at the same time watch the people coming from the shelter.
He looked at the huge crowd and for a moment he wondered if the captain had a hidden agenda. Who was watching whom? Could he have such great power?
Yang Tian had not expected that the villa would have two separate places for dining, so he could only instruct the team leaders under him to keep an eye on their men and not to cause any trouble.
Most of the team leaders nodded, understanding that this is a special period and they are optimistic about the people under them. After this period of running-in, the team still has some discipline.
But there are always special people in it, such as Qin Tian, who had been sarcastic on the road before. After entering the villa, his eyes wandered around dishonestly, and the more he looked, the more jealous he felt.
In City A, he donated most of his wealth to get the position of a small team leader. It was not very good, just slightly better off than ordinary people.
I didn't expect that here, these people could easily eat and live in such a good place. Seeing that they were more comfortable than the director of their institute, I felt more and more unbalanced.
I wish the higher-ups would issue an order to seize this place right now. There are a lot of them coming, so it's definitely possible.
Unfortunately, he waited and waited, but the people above went to eat somewhere else, and they stayed here to eat in the cafeteria.
"Come on, line up, take your plates and find a seat immediately." Yin Xue shouted loudly, dividing the people present into more than a dozen teams, otherwise it would take forever.
Because of his status as a team leader, Qin Tian was in the front of the line. He watched Yin Xue working for the villa, and then looked at the plates of steaming food on the table. He couldn't help but have dark thoughts in his heart.
"Oh, so you're already working for the villa? Who knows if there's anything wrong with the food? You're treating us to a free meal right away."
When these words were spoken, the voice was so loud that everyone around heard them. Those who were originally eager to have a meal could not help but wonder if there was something fishy about it.
The people in the back row passed on Qin Tian's words bit by bit, and for a moment the whole team started talking.
Yin Xue naturally heard it as well. He looked at Qin Tian. He had no grudge against this man, so how could he say such a thing?
"Captain Qin, you're going too far. Who would joke about food? Besides, there are tens of thousands of people here. Wasting so much food just to deal with people like us who haven't even met us is even more unreasonable, isn't it?"
Food is already precious in the apocalypse, not to mention the food here, which is fresh, delicious, and can replenish supernatural powers.
In Yin Xue's eyes, the boss was willing to spend a lot of money to entertain them, which meant he must value them very much. How could he be slandered by a villain like Qin Tian?
"You!" Qin Tian became angry when he saw that a small psychic dared to challenge him. But before he could say anything else, he was interrupted by Shi Jiu who happened to come over and take a look.
"Free? Who said it's free?" Shi Jiu had just walked to the door. He originally just wanted to see the mental state of the survivors in City A and whether it was convenient for them to be abducted here by her. Who knew that he would hear such a sentence as soon as he arrived.
She didn't think of it being free, she just wanted to leave the matter to Qin Lou to discuss. As for the meals for tens of thousands of people, she could at most waive the hot pot fee for a small number of people.
I didn't expect that someone would treat the food in front of them as free stuff, and even suspect that there was something fishy going on and would return it to them. In this kind of environment, I'm afraid they have severe paranoia.
When Yin Xue saw the person coming, he was a little panicked, "Boss, this..." He felt embarrassed for Qin Tian because he was heard saying bad things about others behind their backs.
But if he was embarrassed so easily, he would not be Qin Tian, whose skin was as thick as a city wall.
He frowned and looked at the woman in front of him, "Who are you, little girl? You have no right to speak here." His words revealed that he looked down on Shi Jiu.
Shi Jiu looked at the guy in front of him who looked ordinary but was probably rotten to the core, and didn't show him any courtesy.
"Don't you suspect there's something wrong with the food? I'm the boss here, do you have any evidence?"
Qin Tian didn't have any evidence, but he was unhappy and wanted to vent a few words, but he didn't expect to run into his boss.
He looked at Shi Jiu with malicious eyes. He didn't expect that a woman was in charge of the villa. "I was just talking. Boss, you jumped out so quickly. Are you feeling guilty?"
Shi Jiu pointed at Yin Xue and said, "Feeling guilty? Who is talking nonsense and having evil intentions? Yin Xue, just find a meal and eat it in front of him."
Yin Xue was a little overwhelmed when his name was suddenly called. Shi Jiu pointed at someone casually and said, "Sir, pick a meal for him. I want to see what happens to you if someone who only knows how to spread rumors is fine."
The man was also a little flustered, so he picked up a portion of rice at random and handed it to Yin Xue. Yin Xue saw that no one else at the scene spoke up, as if they all wanted to see him finish the meal in his hand, so he had no choice but to stand there and start eating with the rice in his hand.
Qin Tian saw that if nothing happened, he would be in a difficult situation in front of so many people, so he immediately wanted to stop Yin Xue.
Shi Jiu snapped his fingers, and Qin Tian froze in place, unable to move, his eyes wide open, as if he had encountered something terrible.
Except for Shi Jiu, no one present knew that he was trapped. Shi Jiu snorted coldly while waiting for Yin Xue to finish his meal.
"I was originally kind enough to welcome you from City A, and I was going to tell your director about the best price for these meals. I didn't expect that my good intentions would backfire. Since you are so suspicious, I will sell them to you at the original price."
After hearing Shi Jiu's words, Yin Xue, who was trying hard to eat, had a mouthful of rice stuck in his throat and almost choked himself to death. The many onlookers who were watching the show around him also became excited.
They said they would inform the director, but in the end they would definitely have to pay the fees. In any case, they would be spending their own money, so the feeling was different.
"Boss, it's all Qin Tian's fault. He's always talking dirty!"
"Yeah, we were all silent. We were just waiting in line to eat."
"Boss, don't take his words to heart. It's not worth getting angry over such a person."
All of a sudden, voices condemning Qin Tian rang out in the cafeteria. He had never been very popular in the shelter, but now he had directly angered everyone.
As they talked, they weren't worried about Qin Tian causing trouble for them in the future. With so many people around, how many people could he possibly remember? Besides, who doesn't have a background?
The deputy director who came over after hearing the smell had just heard what Shi Jiu said. He glared at Qin Tian fiercely, but he was in charge of people after all, so he couldn't lose his temper on the spot.
"Hello, boss. I'm the deputy director of the A City Shelter. Qin Tian sometimes speaks without thinking, so don't take it personally."
Shi Jiu also responded in a friendly manner, "Hey, Deputy Director, why didn't you go to eat? I'm sorry to bother you to come here when something happened here."
The deputy director felt bitter. It had been a long time since he had eaten hotpot. He had just checked everything and was about to eat, but he had to rush over to deal with this mess.
Before he could say a few words, Shi Jiu turned around and asked Yin Xue who was full.
"How do you feel after eating? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
When asked, Yin Xue shook his head blankly. He was very full.
"No...no, I feel very full."
Anyone with eyes could see that the meal Yin Xue had just eaten was so delicious. Although they were eating on a mission and ate a little faster, the aroma of the food always surrounded them, and the more they inhaled, the hungrier they became.
"Yes, there is no problem with my food. Sir, do you have anything else to say?" Shi Jiu snapped his fingers again, unlocking the seal on Qin Tian. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold.
Qin Tian shuddered and his legs almost went limp. He looked at the deputy director with sweat dripping down his face, wanting to tell him what had just happened to him, but when he met the other person's fiery eyes, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
In the end, he could only weakly and with difficulty say the three words "I'm sorry".
Shi Jiu looked at his face. For some reason, she felt particularly uncomfortable the first time she saw him. Everything he did touched her sore spot.
She just stared at the deputy director and said, "You have come from afar, so you should have a good meal. However, I am not in a good mood today. As for the price of this meal, Butler Qin will discuss it with you. I have something else to do, so please feel free to do as you please."
After saying that, he left without even looking at Qin Tian.
"This... Boss, what you mean is that the price is still not negotiable? Didn't Qin Tian apologize?"
"Do you think I have to accept an apology? I haven't responded yet. If I were you, I wouldn't forgive you for being so kind and then being bitten back!"
After everyone sorted out their thoughts, they could only glare fiercely at Qin Tian who was kicked into the corner by the deputy director. They hoped that the price would not be too expensive. After getting their own meals, their stomachs had been rumbling for a long time.
After taking a bite, there was no time to chat, and the whole cafeteria was filled with the sound of slurping.
After a long time, when all the food had entered their stomachs and a warm feeling rose from their bodies, they realized what a stupid thing Qin Tian had done.
In the large private room on the other side, Qin Lou sat firmly in the main seat, and everyone was feasting on the food. They had not eaten fresh and hot hot pot for a long time.
I had originally thought of chatting about what they wanted at the dinner table, but now they are eating one bite after another and can't stop at all.
When the deputy director returned and saw how happily they were eating, he couldn't help but feel sad that he still had to deal with Qin Tian's troubles.
"Director, it's been handled, but..." What needed to be reported still had to be reported. After listening to the whole story, Li Sui felt something was not good.
Before the meal, Qin Lou told him that he would treat them at the most favorable price, so they could rest assured. He also knew that it was not good for a group of people like them to come here and eat and drink for free, but now this friendly situation might be destroyed by Qin Tian.
Qin Lou listened to what Qin Tian had done and Shi Jiu's countermeasures, and the curve of his mouth became much bigger.
Everyone at the dinner table put down their chopsticks one by one because of Qin Tian's matter. This was not a good thing.
Sure enough, Qin Lou took a look at the tablet and said, "I believe everyone knows the boss's original good intentions, but now..."
