Chapter 72
With their brother's consent, Lu Feng and Lu Yun set up a party that afternoon at the cave camp where the twin brother and sister lived.
The two teams sat on either side of the large wooden table in the center of the camp.
Ye Qing sat at one end, with Tu Ping and logistics worker Xiao Zhang on his left and right. Lu Zhicheng sat at the other end, with Lu Feng and Lu Yun on either side.
"Hello, City Lord Ye." Lu Zhicheng extended a hand politely. His fingers were slender and long, and very beautiful.
Ye Qing was not surprised to hear this address. She chuckled and shook his hand: "Hello, City Lord Lu."
City Lord Ye?
The twins' brains were almost shut down. They had spent much more time together than the eldest brother, but they had never discovered Ye Qing's true identity.
The two of them stared blankly at the two parties involved. They remained calm and smiled, as if they were already familiar with each other's identities. It seemed that they were the only ones kept in the dark.
"What is this?" Lu Zhicheng took the exquisite card and looked it up and down.
The card was the size of a palm, with the five large characters "Subsidiary Binding Card" written on the front. There were two blank signature spaces on the left and right below the large characters. On the back of the card was a magical building, tall and majestic, which Lu Zhicheng had seen in the brochure.
Ye Qing pointed at the card and explained, "You can think of it as a contract. Once we sign this contract, our cooperation will take effect."
Lu Zhicheng frowned handsomely: "Is it that simple?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Yes, it's that simple. You have to think it through carefully. Once you sign the contract, the rules will take effect immediately. If you want to regret it later, it will be too late."
Lu Zhicheng looked at the small card and twitched the corners of his mouth.
Using a card was like binding oneself; it was too far-fetched! He had secretly used his powers to test it, and it was just an ordinary little card, without any spiritual powers added to it, so there was no such thing as a contract or other magical power.
Tu Ping and Xiao Zhang, who were watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh at him. "You underestimate the boss now, but you'll know how powerful he is later."
Lu Feng and Lu Yun also took the card and looked at it. Apart from the strange words "Attached Binding Card", they didn't find anything else strange.
Lu Zhicheng took the card from his sister and said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll sign it."
After saying that, he took out the pen he carried with him and with a wave of his hand, Lu Zhicheng's name was written on the signature column.
Ye Qing took the card and wrote his name on the other side.
As the last stroke of the pen was made, invisible rules were instantly created. Not only between Lu Zhicheng and Ye Qing, but every object in Zhucheng seemed to be engraved with a seal and had to abide by the rules set by the cardholder.
Lu Zhicheng's face suddenly turned cold. He vaguely felt as if he had signed a contract with Ye Qing. She was the master and he was the servant, and he had to obey her orders.
He tried to break the contract, but the rules were so strong that he couldn't resist at all.
After breaking out in a cold sweat, Lu Zhicheng relaxed all over. The power of the man in front of him was so strange and powerful that he couldn't see through it at all.
Seeing his elder brother sweating profusely, Lu Yun quickly handed him a handkerchief and asked worriedly, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Zhicheng looked at Ye Qing deeply and said in a low voice: "It's okay, just a little cold."
Lu Yun stared at him half-believing and half-doubting. His elder brother was as strong as an ox and had not been sick for more than ten years. He even took ice baths in such cold weather. Why would he suddenly feel cold today?
Ye Qing knew his reason, but did not point it out. Instead, he happily put away the [Attachment Binding Card] and began to arrange the next cooperation.
She handed over a notebook and a pen: "From now on, all new residents of the shelter will be registered using this."
Lu Yun, who was standing by, took it first. There were three big words written on the cover of the notebook - [Roster].
The notebook was not thick, but it seemed endless. If you flipped forward, you could see the names of all the residents. Many of them looked familiar. I opened my eyes wide and turned to the first page. Lu Zhicheng's name was at the top, followed by the twins.
Wasn't this what Boss Ye had just taken out? She clearly hadn't done anything, so how did their names magically appear on the roster?
The three siblings looked at each other, with strange looks in their eyes.
Ye Qing did not explain these, but continued with the next process.
"Have you read the contents of the brochure? If there's anything you'd like to buy, ask Xiao Zhang to write it down and place the order."
"I'll provide the goods, and you'll be responsible for management and manpower. I'll give you the cost price, and the profits will be split 30% and 70% respectively. How about that?"
This profit margin is already very high. They have seen Ye Qing's products. Every one of them will be popular in the city and there is no worry about sales. They only need to be responsible for a little management, and giving them 30% of the profit is almost giving money away.
Lu Feng and Lu Yun were almost grinning from ear to ear. Although Lu Zhicheng didn't say anything, his resistance to Ye Qing instantly decreased by a lot. Such a generous collaborator was not as cunning and domineering as he was at the beginning.
Seeing that his elder brother had no objection, Lu Yun quickly responded, "I agree, I agree."
Ye Qing nodded: "Okay, I don't care about other things, but I have one request: the products cannot be sold too expensively, and everyone must be able to afford them."
Lu Zhicheng instantly looked up and stared at Ye Qing, his pupils trembling, and the coldness in his heart slowly turned into heat.
She - she cooperated not for the sake of making money, but for the sake of ordinary people. By doing so, she would not squander the lives of ordinary people as casually as some shelters did. It didn't seem so bad to cooperate with her.
He looked at Ye Qing and said solemnly: "Don't worry, it won't be very expensive."
With the restriction of the supplementary card, Ye Qing did not need to worry about them violating the rules. However, his frank guarantee made people have a very good impression of him. Ye Qing immediately decided to give them the goods and help build a house at the same time. After all, the assets were bound to the system and were his own.
Xiao Zhang pulled out a two-part inventory from her bag and handed it over. "This lists almost all the goods we have in the shelter. Please take a look and see if there's anything you want to buy."
Selecting goods was Lu Feng and Lu Yun's favorite part. They were having a lot of fun reading the notebooks, and even Lu Zhicheng couldn't help but lean over to take a few glances.
"100 cartons of instant noodles, no, 200 cartons."
Ye Qing was about to stop him when he heard this, but Lu Zhicheng on the opposite side had already noticed something.
"It's marked here that the upper limit is only 100 boxes, so you can only write 100," Lu Zhicheng said, looking at Ye Qing as if asking for advice. "Why is there a limit? What should I do if I want to increase the limit?"
Ye Qing gave him an appreciative look. "The quota for goods is linked to the population of the shelter. The more people there are, the higher the quota. If you have new residents, please register them in the roster I just gave you. After registration, the information will be synchronized with me. When the population reaches a certain level, I will reward you with some rare facilities and buildings."
The population of the affiliated towns is also part of the Taoyuan Shelter. Relying on only one city to absorb the population, the upgrade speed is a bit slow. Now their needs are linked to the population. If they want to get more and better services, they will find ways to increase the resident population.
When Lu Zhicheng heard the rare facility buildings suddenly become shiny, he nodded quietly, already thinking about how to absorb the population of the dozen or so shelters around him.
Lu Yun pouted and had no choice but to write down 100 boxes. She looked down the list of goods one by one, not missing any item.
"Butter bread, baguette, pork floss bread! These are the ones we had at noon. I didn't expect there are so many varieties. The maximum amount is 500. Add them all."
"Chocolate, Snickers, and wafers too."
"Oh my god, there are sanitary products!" Lu Yun wiped his eyes, feeling so moved that he almost wanted to cry.
Sanitary products are very necessary for girls. Toilet paper and other common items are of course necessary, but sanitary napkins, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste are even more urgently needed.
As a girl at the top of the food chain, Lu Yun's sanitary napkins were made of rags, not to mention those ordinary girls, who were almost back to the primitive era.
Many times, she had to wash it and use it several times after use. She once accidentally got a pack of sanitary napkins from before the end of the world, and the comfortable feeling of being wrapped in it is still unforgettable.
She excitedly wrote down the maximum amount for all the sanitary products, and then took a look at them with satisfaction.
Next was the clothing category. The list only had names but no pictures, so Lu Yun selected some based on his feelings.
An hour had passed by the time they had finished selecting everything. Xiao Zhang took back the invoice, did a quick calculation, and reported a figure: "Based on the cost price, the total is 200,000 crystal cores."
"So many!" Lu Yun and Lu Feng said in unison.
Xiao Zhang nodded: "Well, why don't you calculate it yourself."
Lu Yun shook his head: "Haha, no need, we did buy a lot, this price is already very cheap, it's just..."
She looked at her two brothers, then said to Ye Qing aggrievedly, "But Boss Ye, we don't have that much money right now. I wonder if we can buy on credit."
In order to develop the salted fish, she and Lu Feng owed a lot of crystal cores. Although her brother was the city lord and all expenses were officially recorded, he could not come up with so much money at once.
I thought Ye Qing would be embarrassed, but unexpectedly she agreed without even thinking: "No problem, but you have to use the piggy bank I gave you to collect and pay. It will divide the income on the day of the transaction. 30% will be given directly to you, and the rest will be credited to my account."
"No problem!"
After seeing so many magical treasures of Ye Qing, a piggy bank was no longer surprising. They naturally thought that this was another of her space magic.
"Okay, that's all for today. Xiao Zhang will sort out the invoice and send it back to the shelter when we get back. You can expect to receive the goods tomorrow. From now on, delivery will be once a week."
"Okay, everything will be arranged by Boss Ye."
"Then, happy cooperation."
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Everyone dispersed one by one. Xiao Zhang communicated with the [Voice Transmitter] psychic from Zuo Yi's team, telling her the coordinates and product requirements. The [Voice Transmitter] psychic then passed the message back to Taoyuan Shelter.
After receiving the news, Zeng Ya ordered people to prepare the cargo for loading that night. Deng Hailong was extremely excited as it was the first time to carry out such a long mission. He took several brothers on the train, and each of them took turns driving. They would reach this new landmark before noon tomorrow.
In fact, Ye Qing has bound the system mall and can take out goods directly from the mall, but she can't always deliver the goods in person in the future, so it is better to follow the normal process from the beginning.
Having completed a large part of the task, Ye Qing felt extremely relaxed.
Unlike her, the three Lu siblings were participating in such a magical collaboration for the first time. They were so excited that they couldn’t sleep the whole night. They tossed and turned in bed, looking forward to tomorrow.
