As the saying goes, being poor for too long will make you abnormal. Su Han found that this was indeed true.
Ever since the layoffs, pay cuts and longer working hours, it's like a strange switch was turned on in my boss, who keeps giving me advice all day long.
Sometimes they ask to make the bread smaller and sell it at a lower price; sometimes they say they want to develop new products to stimulate customers' purchasing desire; sometimes they say they want to organize activities to increase sales and build their reputation.
However, there are only so many customers coming to the store, and doing this and that will not increase the flow of customers. Instead, it will make the employees very tired.
Seeing that increasing revenue failed, Boss Zhang started looking for ways to cut costs.
From the cost of raw materials, to the packaging of bread, to the consumption of raw materials when making bread, strict regulations have been made.
Su Han, "..."
Does this guy think that all his employees are robots? As long as the dosage is set in advance, they can complete it according to the requirements without any error?
She quickly took off her work clothes and said calmly, "I quit."
Boss Zhang readily agreed, "Okay."
The quick response made Su Han wonder if this guy was deliberately making trouble, hoping that the employee would leave on his own initiative.
The other two employees couldn't help but come over to persuade him, "Don't be impulsive. If you leave here, can you still find a job?"
"Everyone has a hard time. Just hold your nose and bear it. Isn't there anything you can do about it?"
Su Han shook his head firmly, "If the work is not going well, there is no need to stay here any longer." Who knows what tricks will come next.
Fortunately, she was debt-free and had no worries about not being able to survive after leaving.
With a wave of his hand, Su Han left gracefully.
And this is only the 10th day of the game.
Xiaoxiao murmured to herself, "After Su Han leaves, will all the work in the store be done by the two of us?"
The two looked at each other and shuddered at the same time.

At the same time, Jin Shi was almost going crazy. He never expected that his poor operation would lead to his own elimination.
After working hard for a few days, he finally saved up some money, but it was only enough to pay off his debts for one day. The supplies he had stockpiled due to the heavy debt were consumed in just a few days.
Wouldn't it be better to just wait quietly for the clearance? Why would you want to embarrass yourself? Jin Shi felt particularly distressed.
But it was too late to regret now.

Su Han quit his job and planned to go to the park. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the bakery, a luxury car stopped at the door.
The car window rolled down. Zhong Rui was sitting in the back seat, smiling, and said, "Get in the car."
Su Han, "???"
What is going on here?
She stepped closer, expressionless, "Your car?"
"Rented." Zhong Rui replied casually.
"Why would you rent it if there's nothing wrong? Are you worried about spending too much money?" Su Han couldn't believe it.
Zhong Rui smiled slightly, "Now that you've made money and can afford it, get in the car."
Su Han still felt puzzled. But thinking that his friend was a reliable person, he temporarily suppressed his doubts and got into the luxury car.
The front and back seats were separated by glass. The driver drove steadily while the two sat in the back seat and talked.
Su Han asked first, "Where do you get the money?"
Zhong Rui uttered two words lightly, "Gambling."
Su Han, "..."
She vaguely remembered that in the previous gambling villa copy, her friend's gambling skills were particularly impressive.
Zhong Rui went on to say, "It took a lot of effort to get enough capital together, and it took some time to make money from gambling. It wasn't until today that I finally had some spare money."
"How much?" Su Han asked directly.
"Two hundred thousand." Zhong Rui answered without hesitation.
Two hundred thousand...Su Han was speechless. They only needed to continue living in the dungeon for ten days, and they would never be able to use up the two hundred thousand.
"By the way, the portable storage is already full." Zhong Rui smiled very proudly, as if he was already a winner in life.
Su Han laughed. The first thing one does after getting rich is to fill up his personal warehouse. This is a familiar scene.
"When did you start gambling?" she asked.
"Day 7."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You don't know how to gamble, so there's no need to tell you and make you worry. Why not announce the good news after you make money?"
Su Han thought it was good, but the surprise came so suddenly that she fainted.
She had planned to work diligently and conscientiously and start a family by thriftiness, but her friend suddenly told her that her family had a cheat that allowed them to earn unlimited money...
If Su Han hadn't known that Zhong Rui never boasted, he would probably have started to suspect that he was being cheated.
"First, I'll buy you some clothes, then we'll watch a movie and have dinner, and finally we'll stay in a star hotel. You don't have to spend the night in the park." Zhong Rui made the arrangements calmly and with a composed demeanor.
Su Han blinked and thought, isn't this just a date?
The mall was sparsely populated, with only a few staff members and few customers.
Zhong Rui took Su Han to buy clothes.
After trying on some clothes, Su Han hesitated between the floral short skirt and the black long skirt.
"You only need to make a choice when you are poor. If you have money, you can buy both if you like." Zhong Rui paid for both.
Su Han couldn't help but laugh.
When watching a movie, they were worried about the crowds, so they chose the VIP room. But when they entered, they found that there was no one else except them.
"Did you book the whole place?" Su Han asked suspiciously.
"I wanted to do it, but then I felt it was unnecessary." Zhong Rui said honestly. After all, this is a game, and the programmers are watching from outside, so it's inconvenient to do anything.
"Then how..." Su Han reacted halfway through his words. The residents were in too much debt, so even if they wanted to watch a movie, they would only go to the regular hall and would not specifically choose the VIP room. Only the two of them bought tickets for the VIP room, so it was like renting the whole theater.
"It's great to be a rich man with no shortage of money to spend." Su Han muttered.
Zhong Rui smiled, "The so-called economic crisis is the end of the world for the poor."
The dinner was quite exquisite and tasted great. Just a glance around and you will find that there are few customers in the store, and it seems that business is not very good.
The single room in the star-rated hotel is clean and tidy, the environment is elegant and quiet.
Su Han sat on the soft bed, feeling like a wife enjoying the good life with her successful husband. It was also like they were a newlywed couple who came out for a special trip.
Touching the newly bought clothes, she felt that it was a bit unreal. It was as if everything was a dream, and after waking up, she had to start working hard again to survive.
"No wonder all girls want to become Cinderella." Su Han shook his head, put aside all distractions and fell asleep peacefully.

In the office, Li Yue exuded a low pressure. The staff avoided him and refused to make eye contact with him. A good survival copy was turned into a honeymoon. Whoever approached him at this time would be in trouble.
Li Yue said nothing, his lips pressed into a straight line. The casino did exist, but they had added the dungeon specifically to make the game more fun.
Imagine that when a player is desperate, he cashes out the balance of his credit card and goes to the casino to gamble. How exciting that is! If you win, you can turn things around immediately, but if you lose, you will never be able to recover. Heaven and hell can be reached in an instant.
What an ingenious concept, what a perfect design! Who would have thought that he would meet an unconventional player with superb gambling skills, who directly broke the suspense and treated the casino as an ATM...
Li Yue took a deep breath and tried to tell himself, "This is not a dungeon design bug. I just encountered an unconventional player."
A bunch of staff members nodded their heads in agreement, "I think the design of the casino is very ingenious and worth preserving."
"Zhong Rui is the champion of the first survival competition after all. We cannot use him as a standard to measure the level of the masses."
"There were 20 test players, but he was the only one who used the casino as an ATM. This is just an isolated case."
"I think no matter what instance Zhong Rui is put into, he will be able to fill up his personal storage... There is no way to stop it. Human power is powerless."
"And even if it's Zhong Rui, he still has to save up the start-up capital! Didn't he sleep in the park for several days before? Only by enduring that hardship can you accumulate enough money to gamble."
Li Yue thought about it carefully and felt that this was the truth, and his mood finally calmed down. It was just that it was hard to accept that the survival dungeon he had designed with great care was treated as a tourist attraction.

On the 11th day of the game, Su Han slept in happily and didn't get up until after 8 o'clock. Thinking of the limited-time buffet breakfast service provided by the hotel, she quickly got up.
When they entered the restaurant, Zhong Rui was sitting alone eating breakfast. Seeing this, Su Han took breakfast and sat down opposite him.
"Quitted?" Zhong Rui asked.
Yesterday, he made enough money from gambling, and was about to meet Su Han to tell her that she didn't have to work so hard anymore. But when the car just arrived at the door, his friend walked out of the bakery first. He was so busy calling people to get in the car that he forgot to ask why, and only remembered it now.
"Yes." Su Han said casually, "Business is getting worse day by day. The boss is getting mad and keeps coming up with unreliable ideas. There's no point in staying here any longer."
Zhong Rui took a sip of tea and said calmly, "When the economic crisis comes, there will be more than one or two people who will go crazy."
"At least we can get through this safely." Su Han said indifferently.
At 9 o'clock, the system's mechanical voice sounded on time, "Residents' consumption desire and purchasing power have declined significantly, many stores are operating at a loss, and a wave of wage cuts and unemployment has occurred on a large scale."
A wave of wage cuts and unemployment?
Su Han sighed, "I originally lived frugally and saved money just to stay in a single room in a hotel for the last ten days."
"With salary cuts and unemployment, debts are doomed to be unpaid, and even survival will be a problem. Without a job, there is no source of income. What if I didn't save any money before? What will my family eat and drink?"
"When people are starving to death, some people will take risks and start committing crimes."
Zhong Rui added, "That's why I invited you to stay in the hotel with me."
There are security guards at the hotel entrance, which is much safer than other places.
Su Han didn't say anything, but ate a piece of bun silently, but she was thinking in her heart. If she relied on her own hard work, she would definitely be able to pass the level smoothly. But now her friend's golden finger is open, and he has a lot of cash in his hands, so the difficulty of the dungeon is undoubtedly reduced to the lowest. Not only can the two of them stay in a star-rated hotel, but they can also buy as much as they want, and the level of relaxation is comparable to a vacation.
Money is not everything, but in the economic crisis copy, you can't do without money. The difficulty of this round of the game is how to make as much money as possible at the beginning of the game. The more money you have, the more relaxed you will be in the later stages of the game.
From this point of view, it is indeed much more convenient to have a powerful companion.
Seeing that his friend remained silent, Zhong Rui felt inexplicably nervous. He calmly asked, "Do you mind because it's my money?"
Su Han shook his head and said nonchalantly, "I used to, but not now."
She never liked to take advantage of strangers, but if they were close to her, she felt that she didn't need to be too calculating.
Hearing this, Zhong Rui felt relieved. He thought, right, at least give me a chance to support you!
The author has something to say: Zhong Rui (seriously): Are you in love with me?
Su Han (seriously): He was originally 9 points handsome, but with the buff of money, it immediately became 12 points.

Zhong Rui: I worry every day that my partner is too capable
