Chapter 45 Heavy Rain. Selfish People Are Everywhere
Chu An went down to the lobby. No one was working outside anymore. Only the property manager Xiao Wang and the sales manager Ouyang were talking in the lobby.
Xiao Wang from the property management company had a worried look on his face. The brothers who had worked with him yesterday all went home when the rain eased a little in the morning.
First, they feel suffocated because the people in this building are too cold. Second, they are worried about their families. They don’t even know what’s happening to their own families, so who would have the mood to work for these selfish people? This job isn’t a good one, so they can just quit.
Now he and a cleaning lady are the only ones left in the entire property.
When they saw Chu An coming down, they both fell silent.
Manager Ouyang hurriedly asked her if there was anything wrong.
Chu An shook his head, "I'm here to help."
After saying this she felt a little bit like an expert in hindsight, but she was really in a deep sleep.
"If you don't need any help, go back and rest." Manager Ouyang was still as gentle as ever. "By the way, do you have any food at home?"
"have."
After Chu An finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from behind him.
"It's not even up to the calf yet, why are you building it so high? If you have that energy, why don't you help us go out and buy some food?"
Chu An turned around and found that the person who spoke was the man he had chatted with last time.
Xiao Wang from the property management was very tired. After hearing this, his heart was chilled. He smiled awkwardly and said, "The property management has rice. You can buy some. Outside... you really can't go out now."
"Fuck, who wants to eat that broken rice? I want to eat hot pot and drink beer. You coordinate with the supermarkets around and ask them to deliver it."
"This... is really beyond my ability, but I can ask in the group later to see if there are any stores that agree to deliver to your door."
As they were talking, four more people came down, two men and two women.
One of the men was very muscular, wearing a T-shirt with short sleeves that revealed the tattoos on his arms. The other was wearing a cotton T-shirt, was thin, a little hunched, and wore gold-rimmed glasses.
The two women came down one after the other. Chu An knew the first woman, Xiao Mei, who was promoting the selfie studio. The second woman was about 40 years old, dressed simply, and kept her lips tightly pursed, looking very alert.
The four of them were not familiar with each other, so Xiaomei and the eldest sister came down and stood aside.
Huabi pointed at Xiao Wang and said, "Hey, it's a good thing you're here. I've been hungry for two meals. You guys are going to trap us here. There's nothing to eat. I'll go sit in your property and die here even if I die."
Xiao Wang's face looked even worse. All his colleagues had left, and he chose to stay because he really wanted to help the people in the building overcome their difficulties, but... it was too heartbreaking.
Manager Ouyang hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "You can register with me and tell me all your difficulties, and we will find a way to solve it."
The man on the fifth floor snorted, "Okay, I'm from 510, I want ten kilograms of mutton rolls and two boxes of beer, you guys find a way to get them for me."
Huabi echoed, "I want five pounds of spare ribs and five pounds of lamb ribs."
Chu An was surprised that Manager Ouyang actually took out a small notebook and wrote it down carefully.
After he finished writing, he suggested, "Everyone go back and ask your neighbors if they have any needs and can come down to register."
Xiao Wang is indeed an excellent manager representative. He has adjusted his mood. Although he knows that he can't get these things, he still comforts them, "Everyone go back. I will find a way. It is my duty to serve you. I will be responsible for everyone."
The man with glasses pushed up his glasses and said sarcastically, "Responsible? How can you be responsible? If it really floods, do you have enough people to help? Do you have an emergency plan?"
Xiao Wang explained, "The first floor here is a shop with high ceilings, so it won't flood for a while. Even if it floods, we can move upstairs. Besides, we have the government, and the government will help us."
Huabi said disdainfully, "You still dare to count on the government? I heard that there are many riots in other communities because the government does nothing. I saw you put up sandbags overnight. Are you trying to surround us with sandbags? Are you afraid that we will cause trouble?"
The man at 510 asked, "Why are you making trouble?"
Huabi, "Of course they are dissatisfied with people from Dongcheng moving into their community. Now all the hotels that can be rented are already full, and the government has started to send people to various communities."
The man with glasses asked in astonishment, "Which neighborhood are they from?"
Flower Arms, "The old residential building near the university students, Guotai Community. I also heard that people from East City robbed the indigenous people of their food and beat them up."
510 Man, "Fuck, I told you not to let anyone in casually. Brother Li, we were right to stop them that day. Otherwise, there would be three more hooligans in our building, and who knows who would have robbed someone."
Chu An raised his eyelids. It was really a case of searching for something in vain. Finally, it was found without any effort. They were the ones who drove Li Qing away. It seemed that Huabi was 906.
The recognized 906 was still speaking rudely, "As long as we stick together, it's fine. Hey, if anyone has food, give me some. When I have enough strength, I will stay here every day, and no one can live in our building."
Xiaomei, who had been silent the whole time, said hurriedly, "I have it, big brother, please come to my house to get it later. I live in 606, and I need your care in the future."
Xiaomei is from Song City, and went to college in City C. After graduation, she couldn't find a job and could only do odd jobs here and there. She had a boyfriend in college who was from City C.
The two had a good relationship during college and planned to get married after graduation. However, when the boyfriend took her home to meet his family after graduation, his mother thought that she was a girl from a third-tier city who had no job and was not worthy of her son. She refused to allow the two to date, let alone get married.
She had no choice but to rent a house in Qingrun Apartment temporarily. At first, her boyfriend could still comfort her, saying that sincerity can move mountains and break rocks. As long as the two of them were good to each other, they would be able to convince his mother one day.
But the good times didn't last long. The man started going on blind dates at the instigation of his family. At first, he did it secretly. When she found out, he said that he didn't want to go at all, but was forced by the elders to deal with his family.
Seeing that he didn't chat much with any of the blind dates, Xiaomei didn't take it to heart. Besides, she was quite satisfied with her appearance. Although she couldn't compare to a star, she could still be an internet celebrity. In college, she was also the most beautiful girl in the school and had many suitors.
But what she didn't expect was that her boyfriend actually had two mobile phones, and one of them contained several blind dates that he was getting along well with.
After she found out, she made a scene. She thought her boyfriend would explain and comfort her, but he ended up breaking up with her. His reason was that a marriage without the blessing of the elders would not be happy.
Xiaomei is an insecure person. She chose him from many suitors because he is honest and ordinary. She didn't expect that even a recognized honest man could not change his nature of hunting for beauty.
