Chapter 14: Collect a wave before the end of the world
After a long time.
The man left, the car started, and only the shadow of the car remained.
…
Xia Chuxiao had just returned to the community where she rented, but saw two people at the entrance of the community, as if they were waiting for her. One was a very familiar person, and the other was Boss Feng, who sold cars.
"Xiaoxiao, here"
Xia Chuxiao looked at Mr. Gong, who was like a piece of taffy, and couldn't be shaken off. She felt helpless and walked over to him. She stopped a meter away and said lazily, "Mr. Gong, why are you looking for me again?"
"If you have something to say, say it. If you don't, I'll leave."
"Hey, sister-in-law, don't be so heartless! This Buddha has been looking for you for a long time." Feng Pan next to him interrupted directly and said with a chuckle.
He wanted to continue to persuade her, but was stared at by her cold eyes. Feng Pan shrank back and stopped talking immediately. An idea popped up in his mind: why does it feel like this sister-in-law is as angry as the second master when she gets angry!
Haha! As expected, the two of them were quite a match, but the Second Master was too servile, disregarding his status and lowering himself to talk to her.
Gong Yuhan had no idea what he was thinking. His mind was full of how to please the person in front of him. As a result, he actually thought of a way, and Xiaoxiao would definitely agree to it.
Xia Chuxiao listened to what he said, especially when she mentioned the word "supplies", her eyes lit up. After a few minutes, she thought about it again and again, pretended to "cough" twice, and glanced at the two of them with her starry eyes.
"You guys have such a good relationship!"
"good"
Xia Chuxiao asked with some suspicion, "Then why does he call you Second Master, like a lackey?"
Feng Pan, who was affected: “…”
Gong Yuhan: “…”
"Xiaoxiao is just a name, it's not important."
"Yes! Sister-in-law, this title is not important. Second Master and I are good brothers!" Ever since Second Master told him that the end of the world was really coming, his cars were ruined. He was heartbroken for a long time. Now that his sister-in-law can keep them, it is much better. It is better than wasting them.
"Okay then! Take me there quickly so we can finish the harvest and fly to Kyoto City soon."
The two nodded in response.
In the car, Xia Chuxiao appeared indifferent on the surface, but she was actually very excited in her heart, almost getting high!
Before the end of the world approaches, it’s so cool to collect some!
That's the supplies for these two guys! There must be a lot!
We have to collect them all, including the cars, food supplies, etc. Hahaha, we have to collect them all, without leaving any time.
Anyway, it was given by these two guys. It’s such a good thing that they give it for free, so of course I want it, hahahaha!
How can I be so clever!
The other two people in the car had different thoughts.
While driving, Gong Yuhan was thinking about how to keep Xiaoxiao by his side next!
And Feng Pan: Hey! My beloved cars, you must obey your new masters from now on! I can't protect you anymore.
In a room that is not very luxurious but rather retro, two soldiers in uniform military uniform are standing guard at the door. They have calm faces and standard military postures, standing still, looking ahead, giving people a feeling of passion and majesty.
All the people sitting inside were senior executives, sitting around a long desk. The whole room was silent, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.
Sitting at the head of the table was a man in his fifties with a square face covered with deep wrinkles, but that did not affect his calm, serious and stern look at all. He was well-dressed, wearing a jet-black robe from an ancient era, seemingly from the Tang Dynasty. There were two buttons under the collar, woven with small golden ropes.
The two men next to him were also fifty years old. They were dressed similarly, but in different styles. The others were similar too. Of course, there were a few younger ones wearing military uniforms, but there were also some over thirty years old. Everyone in the room could see at a glance that the one sitting at the head was the one with the final say.
After a long moment, the leading man's face became heavy. His old pupils swept over the people sitting there. His wrinkled eyes wrinkled, and his thick, pale lips twitched. "Lao Siliang didn't come?"
Hearing this, the people sitting there looked in one direction, also curious.
A younger man in military uniform, sitting at the end on the left, stood up and faced the leader. He lowered his gaze, first sitting at attention and saluted, then spoke slowly and clearly, "Report, the fourth brother and his wife withdrew a few days ago. The business department has already arranged the documents and procedures, and they will probably be in your hands today. They left yesterday."
The tone of the last sentence dropped noticeably.
"Forget it, if they want to leave, let them leave!" The leading man had a gloomy look on his face and sighed deeply, thinking of what they had said two days ago. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now it seems to be true.
After the middle-aged man sat down, he was very worried. He had thought that the fourth brother and the others were joking, but he didn't expect it to be serious.
When the people present heard the news, they were all confused and puzzled, and some even made random guesses.
"Boss, these young people can't keep up with us older generations in terms of work stability. Young people nowadays just want freedom," an old man who looked a bit cunning and treacherous said jokingly, with a tone of disparagement and sarcasm.
"That's right! If it were you, I should have taken care of these young people. A soldier should have taken care of them even more."
Then another voice said, "This fourth brother and his wife are really stupid. They really don't know the seriousness of the matter. Now that they are gone, there are only the two brothers of the Nangong family and Guan Jun of the Ouyang family left. Add me in, and I'm already a sly old man."
Several people said dissatisfiedly.
“That’s right, that’s right.”
"Young people should endure more hardships"
"Isn't that all? It's just some folk rumors. Is it really necessary to leave?"
"It's so irresponsible to leave it to us old people."
For a moment, everyone in the room was saying bad things about the fourth brother and his wife.
Nangong Feng couldn't help but vent his anger, but his hand was held by an old hand with many calluses.
"Brother, they..."
Nangong Feng mouthed the words, and the people beside him knew what he wanted to say.
He would rather give up his position than follow such high-level people. He had wanted to do so for a long time, but seeing that the big boss was getting older and lonelier day by day and had no real close friends or relatives, he couldn't help but stay. He stayed all for this old man.
Next.
He pulled his younger brother to his feet and announced his departure in public. After expressing his thanks and blessings, he took off his military cap, saluted, turned around and left.
When the old man in the lead saw this action and the words of the two brothers, he looked even older in an instant, with a hint of old loneliness in his eyes.
Glancing at the people sitting there, his eyes flickered with dejection, and he sighed deeply. Shen Cang said, "Everyone, go away! Follow the plan I gave you."
When several people saw him end the meeting so hastily, they wanted to call him to stop, but then they fell silent.
