Chapter 24
In order to perform well in front of the boss, several people gathered around the table and started looking for work: "Boss, what's the price? Let us help."
It is naturally good to have someone to lend a hand. Ye Qing told the other party the selling prices of several goods and taught them how to promote their own shelter.
After remembering everything, Deng Hailong patted his chest and assured: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do it properly."
With enough manpower, Ye Qing began to slack off and approached the captain to chat: "Do you have any recommendations for suitable guards? My shelter is still short of someone who knows about immigration and temporary residence management."
Deng Hailong immediately had a clear image in his mind and replied, "Yes, he has been doing this since he was 15 years old and has more than ten years of work experience."
Then, he looked left and right towards the city gate, pointed at a man in the sentry box and said, "Yes, that's him."
Ye Qing looked over, a look of surprise on his face. This was another acquaintance.
She couldn't help but think of the first time she came to Shanhai City. Although this dead-faced guy didn't like to smile, he was rigorous and serious in his work and had a good heart.
Ye Qing nodded: "Okay, it's him. Please help persuade him!"
Deng Hailong turned his head in surprise: "So simple?"
Seeing Ye Qing's eyelids lift, he immediately shuddered and loudly agreed: "Okay, no problem!"
This is the first task assigned to him by his boss, so he has to perform well.
"Hey, wait a minute, take this." After saying that, Ye Qing handed over a bag of boneless chicken feet.
Deng Hailong took it and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It smelled so good!
As soon as they arrived, they discovered these rare foods, but in order to present a good image in front of the boss, they didn't say a word and pretended to be very hard.
Ye Qing smiled, took out 5 and divided them among the people: "Of course, everyone gets one. Consider it a gift for your help today."
Deng Hailong said embarrassedly: "Oh, how can it be considered a trouble? It's only natural to work for the boss."
Although he said this, he honestly took the melon-free chicken feet with his hands, quickly tore open the package and started eating. The others did the same.
The style of this group of people is very different from the honest personalities of Damao and his friends. Working together might create different sparks.
Soon, another group of hunters came back from outside. The four people who were waiting immediately greeted them and started to sell them something: "Come on, take a look. Taoyuan Shelter is hiring new members and has high-quality food for sale. You'll make a profit if you buy in."
They adapted very smoothly, so Ye Qing simply sat back in the bus, opened a window and watched.
Deng Hailong, who was not far away, was pointing at this side and saying something in a loud voice. Seeing the different expression on the wooden-faced guard's face, Ye Qing knew that something was going to happen, so he simply focused his attention on the table.
Now several more teams of hunters came over, and they gathered around the dining table, selecting the food with great interest.
"This stuff is really great. Do you really have everything in your shelter?"
The employee replied: "Of course, my boss is awesome. Do you want to move there?"
"We have many elderly people and children in our family. Because the City Lord's Mansion stipulates that when the hunter team goes out, family members must be held hostage in the city, so we may not be able to apply to be residents of your shelter, but we will definitely visit you often."
"Yes, we will definitely go."
Ye Qing listened from behind and found it very strange. There seemed to be no such rule when he came here last time. Thinking of the experience of Zhou Xiaohua and others, an idea came to his mind.
Perhaps, the first problem she had to solve was the city lord in charge.
The sales here are in full swing, but there is no news in the City Lord's Mansion.
In recent days, Sun Dazhuang has been staying in the huge mansion listening to music and lying there very comfortably. He has left many things to his subordinates, so the news that comes here has been screened through one layer after another.
Outside the door, Sun Dazhuang's cousin Sun Dafu and a sly middle-aged man were whispering, "Did you get in? How was it?"
The middle-aged man uttered an "uh" and replied slowly, "Go in...right."
Sun Dafu gave him a puzzled look and said unhappily, "Did you get in? Did you make any progress on the information I asked you to find out? If you can't even do this, then don't be working for me!"
The middle-aged man steeled himself and spoke out the lines he had rehearsed several times: "Go in. That shelter is particularly short of people, so getting in is easy."
"I think the facilities there are far inferior to those in Shanhai City. There's nothing there, and there's only one house to live in. And it's close to a dangerous forest. Any ordinary person going there would be wiped out!"
"So that boss must have been playing a trick. If that place wasn't so small and there wasn't a place to stay, I would have stayed a few more days to dig up their secrets!"
Sun Dafu interrupted with a disdainful wave of his hand, looking smug. "Alright, alright, I guessed it a long time ago. I told you there's nothing worth investigating! Those hunter teams will definitely come back with their heads down. They'll be in for a treat then."
The middle-aged man bowed, smiling flatteringly, the guilty feeling in his heart had long since dissipated: "The leader is still wise!"
Sun Dazhuang straightened his clothes and looked into the room: "I'll go in and report first, you go down and claim your reward!"
"Okay!"
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. This scene happened to fall into the eyes of the legendary beautiful concubine. She was hiding behind a rockery not far away, with a young guard standing behind her.
After the two people at the door had left for a while, Aunt Linzhi snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "I knew he didn't completely trust me."
The young guard showed a distressed look behind him, and after enduring for a long time, he finally said, "Why don't you leave Sun Dazhuang? He has always been arrogant and unreasonable. If he finds out that you are secretly investigating, he will not let you go. If you want to leave, I..."
Lin Zhi raised a hand and stopped him, saying, "It's not the right time yet. I can still control him now. If I were to leave one day, who knows how many people would die!"
The young guard touched the scar on his face that was beginning to scab over, his eyes determined: "Okay, if you don't leave, I'll stay with you. After all, you saved my life."
Shanhai City looks peaceful on the outside, but it is a complete mess inside. There is a city lord who kills people when he goes crazy, bureaucrats who bully the weak, refugees who can't afford to eat, and the monthly beast tide. It is a complicated and tangled mess.
Lin Zhi rubbed her swollen head and asked with her eyes closed, "Is the shelter you just mentioned really that good?"
The young guard stared at Lin Zhi's back and nodded continuously, "Yes, that shelter is the best I've ever seen. It has a protective shield against all kinds of beasts, a variety of rare foods, safe and pollution-free hot water, and so on."
"The mayor of the shelter, uh, everyone calls her Boss. She treats everyone equally, and there's no distinction between high and low. The key is that she's incredibly skilled in combat. I saw with my own eyes that even Zhou Xiaohua, a high-level psychic from the Flying Tigers, bowed down to her..."
This was very good news. Lin Zhi opened her eyes, which were full of expectation and longing, and murmured, "She is really that amazing!"
The young guard said, "Yes, it's amazing. She even allowed me to bring some local specialties. I carefully selected several delicious dishes for you. Although they are a little cold, they taste amazing!"
As if she had thought of something, Lin Zhi's usually cold eyes began to shine. She leaned close to the guard's ear and whispered, "Perhaps, we can do this..."
Shanhai City had a population of nearly 100,000, of which four-fifths were ordinary people living on the three underground floors, and only 20,000 were people with special abilities. Zeng Ya only advertised in the central plazas of each floor, so the number of people who received the ad was not large among the 100,000.
But the news was so explosive that it spread quickly through word of mouth. Everyone on the two floors who heard the news ran out to buy supplies.
When Ye Qing saw nearly a thousand people rushing in at the door, he was so surprised that his eyes almost fell to the ground.
Zeng Yi is awesome! There are more people coming here than the residents of her shelter. If all of them apply to become residents, their levels will definitely increase rapidly.
She didn't have much time to fantasize, as the chaotic order outside the bus immediately made her wake up. Ye Qing exchanged a large amount of supplies from the system and put them on the bus, then strode off.
Her voice resounded through the sky: "Come, come, line up nicely and don't rush. If you want to take the bus, come buy your ticket from me. If you want to buy something, go to the stall next door. Each person is limited to 5 of each item. If you haven't seen your turn, don't worry. You can first learn about our Taoyuan Shelter's recruitment policy!"
The bus is a separate upgraded system, and the ticket machine is also equipped with it. This was something she figured out while casually browsing through it in her spare time at the stall.
Not only Ye Qing was shocked, even the guards guarding the door wanted to drop their work and run over immediately. There were so many people, and they didn't know if there would be anyone left when it was their turn. For the first time, it felt that stable civil servants were not so happy.
Deng Hailong and his brother Tang Chao talked until their mouths were dry, but they still didn't get a response from the stubborn guard.
Seeing so many people rushing out, Deng Hailong became anxious: "If you don't agree, I'll leave. The boss still has a lot of work waiting for me!"
Unexpectedly, Tang Chao, who hadn't said a word for so long, replied expressionlessly, "Wait until I finish my last shift."
At this time, a large number of residents were leaving the city, and there was a lot of noise. Deng Hailong suspected that he had heard it wrongly and scratched his ears in disbelief: "What?"
Tang Chao still looked away, holding the machine, carefully recording the residents leaving the city one by one: "I said this is my last shift."
After understanding what his brother was saying, Deng Hailong couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
He can still hold it in even in this situation, he is really amazing!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The shift change bell rang, and the person in charge came to the two men. Tang Chao handed over the machine and notebook, then ran into the city like a hurricane. He had to go home quickly to pick up the two old people.
It was the first time in all his working life that he had seen him run so fast. The other guards looked confused and asked, "What's going on?"
Deng Hailong shook his head and quickly returned to the bus. As soon as he arrived, he heard his boss say loudly: "The tickets are sold out, and there are no standing tickets left. Everyone, come back tomorrow!"
Most of them came just for this ticket, and when they heard it was sold out so quickly, they were very disappointed and tried their best to persuade Ye Qing: "Boss, can you make an exception and run a few more trips today? Please."
Ye Qing was about to refuse without a second thought, but then he heard Deng Hailong walk up to him and whisper, "Boss, we can drive, leave it to us!"
Ye Qing frowned: "Is this too late?"
Deng Hailong smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, we guys are pretty rough around the edges, this little bit of work is no problem at all."
Deng Hailong and the others had a strong desire to perform, and Ye Qing didn't want to give them any scorn. He only said, "Okay, I'll give you a bonus after you finish the work, but remember not to get off the car."
The abilities of these people are not particularly strong, and this car is so rare that there must be many people who are jealous of it. It is also very dangerous at night. If they encounter a high-level psychic, they will only be beaten. They are only completely safe in the car.
Deng Hailong felt warm in his heart and thought that his decision was very wise. Not only did he seek refuge in a promising shelter and find an excellent job for the team, but he also met a good boss that is rarely seen in a century.
Thinking of this, he worked even harder, wishing he could do the work of two people.
Ye Qing calculated quickly. If the bus ran at full speed, it would take one hour to get from Shanhai City to Taoyuan Shelter and return home late. She planned to operate the bus until 12 o'clock tonight. The small bus had 16 seats, and 34 people could stand if they squeezed together. That means 50 people could sit on that bus. The next bus would start at 6 o'clock, so there would be 6 more trips. 6 times 50, a total of 300 people.
After finishing the calculation, Ye Qing replied loudly: "Then send out six more trains, totaling 300 tickets, but I will only sell these tickets to residents who come to my Taoyuan Refuge!"
She used her special skills, and her voice was so loud that it almost reached the ears of everyone outside the city gate.
A few seconds later, the long queue in front of the bus ticket seller suddenly dwindled to half its size, and quickly moved behind the queues selling food.
Since they cannot apply for residency for the time being, they can just buy more supplies and take them home.
Ye Qing's blatant act shocked everyone present. Those who understood her thought she was invincible and domineering, like those on the third underground floor who had seen her strength.
Those who don't understand think that she is ignorant and talking nonsense. An unknown shelter actually dared to rob people in front of others. It is too bold, just like the group of guards at the door and the middle and high-level psychics on the second underground floor.
Sure enough, a troublemaker stood up. He was holding a huge machete, which he held on the ground and walked towards me from behind with a "clang clang" sound. He looked at me with a disdainful look: "What if I insist on sitting down?"
