Ding Qi looked at Zhang Chao and said sincerely: "I envy you. You have been so firm in your friendship after so many years of natural disasters, and the partners you met are so reliable."
In fact, Zhang Chao was used to seeing deceitful people as a salesperson, and there were many of them as colleagues and clients, but his only friends were Lu Yu and Jiang Ning.
Looking back over the past twenty years, apart from being deceived countless times in love, I haven't made many mistakes.
Ding Qi would occasionally say that Zhang Chao was naive, as he dared to use medicine to save people without knowing whether she was a human or a ghost.
Every time he didn't refute, he just smiled.
Ding Qi closed her heart completely only because she was hurt so badly.
In fact, after several years of twists and turns, many people wanted to team up with him and Lu Yu, but they were all rejected without exception.
As for the good and evil of human nature, the two of them had seen too much in the orphanage, and their memories would be even more profound, so unless they understood the depths of human souls, they would never agree to form a team.
But Ding Qi is different. She was born in a warm family and has her own abilities. She originally formed a team based on the principle of survival in groups, which is why she is repeatedly backstabbed.
But Zhang Chao grew up in a different environment. He knows very well when to be strong and when to be weak. If he didn't have emotional weaknesses, he would be smarter than a monkey, but he knows how to be restrained and shrewd.
Everyone has their own secrets. Lu Yu has one, Zheng Weili has one, Brother Shen has one, and Jiang Ning has more. But they don’t hurt themselves and they even have good intentions. So why not?
After hiding their own supplies, the four of them discussed taking some tea, cigarettes, alcohol and bacon, and went to the official trading hall to exchange them for a simple generator.
Zhang Chao and Lu Yu were on duty, while Ding Qi and Zheng Weili were at home operating a simple generator.
There is a patrol team outside, so the safety of the community can be guaranteed.
This was the most sound sleep the group had had since leaving the official base.
While on duty, Jiang Ning happened to meet Qin Chuan. He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if I rent a villa, do you think Young Master Rong will give me a discount?"
Jiang Ning smiled, "Brother Qin, do you want to rent a house for Xiaomu?"
Qin Chuan thought, "I want to rent it to Hou and the others, but I don't know if the people in the community are willing to do so?"
No wonder he was so active in negotiating the rent with Zhang Chao and Lu Yu. It turned out that he was paving the way for Sharp-nosed Monkey and the others to move into the villa. This middleman has more tricks than a sieve.
However, the sharp-mouthed monkey and his companions had conflicts with the community security guards before, so Jiang Ning really didn't dare to express his opinions. "This matter is decided by the owners' committee."
Who is Qin Chuan? His mind is full of lubricants, so he immediately went to find Young Master Rong.
I don't know how he negotiated, but Young Master Rong actually agreed and rented out two more villas, which were much larger than Villa 42 and the monthly rent was also 20 kilograms of grain.
Jiang Ning was surprised and started chatting with Huo Yishen during the meal, "Sharp-billed Monkey and his family have wives and children to support, even if several families share the cost, they can't come up with that much food."
Huo Yishen was not surprised, "I guess Qin Chuan paid for them."
Being nice to your brothers is one thing, but you have to be clear about accounts with your brothers. Rent and food should be deducted from your future share of the profits. This will not only ensure the safety of your subordinates and make them grateful and more loyal to you, but also there will be dozens of more people in the community, and they are all his people. So who among the rich people will dare to give him a hard time in the future?
His guess was correct, that's what Qin Chuan did.
The other rich people disagreed in their hearts, but they had to nod due to the reality.
They had no shortage of supplies in the past, even in the end times, but compared with the survivors at the bottom, their lives were far too comfortable.
But with the arrival of eternal night and after their supplies were looted by the mob, they truly experienced the devastation of natural disasters.
It's too hard. I don't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, but I still have to go out on duty every day. I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and my health is getting worse and worse.
They urgently need others to share their burden so that they can survive the eternal night without sunlight.
Qin Chuan understood their mentality and rented two villas at once on the condition that each family would send a male to work on duty.
He first provided food, and then deducted the profit from his brothers' share after the eternal night.
It is true that it is quite safe to live opposite the police station, but it is really uncomfortable for a family to live in a subdivided flat.
The rent here is a bit high, but it is relatively spacious and can be used for breeding as well as growing crops.
The middleman is the best at calculating, so how could he not agree?
Besides, if one day they really can’t make ends meet, the boss won’t just watch them starve to death.
With the addition of middlemen and 42 villas, the community officially adopted a three-shift system, which can reduce each shift by four hours. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Young Master Rong kept pestering Jiang Ning, "Sister, when are you going to treat me to a meal?"
Thinking of his great help, Jiang Ning readily agreed, "Tonight, OK?"
When you invite someone to dinner, you have to act like you're inviting them to dinner. You can't be confrontational.
But Jiang Ning really couldn't stand his mean look, and Huo Yishen was not good at talking, so he invited Qin Chuan as well.
He is best at creating atmosphere.
The father and son are not good at cooking, but they have to try the delicious food.
Qin Chuan brought over the two largest fish and said, "Sister-in-law, today it depends on your cooking skills."
Jiang Ning asked cheerfully, "Do you want pickled fish or boiled fish?"
The space was stocked with a lot of seasonings and side dishes, and Huo Yishen's fish-cutting skills had reached perfection.
Qin Chuan was confident in her cooking skills and didn't pick and choose. "It's all fine."
Jiang Ning weighed the several kilograms of fish in his hand and said, "Is it raised from fish fry?"
The fish that grew in darkness were not very different from those before the disaster, except that they were much slimmer and slightly whiter in color.
"That's right." Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed. "Not long after I got the fry back, Yongye came. It took a lot of effort to raise them. I took good care of them every day. I didn't even have to worry so much about raising my own son."
Qin Mu followed behind him and said politely to Jiang Ning, "Sister."
Qin Chuan corrected his son, "Don't be disrespectful, call her Aunt Jiang."
Unexpectedly, Qin Mu ran to find Doudou. He took out a thermos cup from his schoolbag and said, "Doudou, I just squeezed the goat milk and brought it here while it's hot. Come and try it."
"Brother Xiaomu, goat milk is too precious. I can't take it."
Qin Mu stubbornly stuffed it into her hands, "It's okay, I feed it every day, every day."
A dog follows his master. It would have been fine if Young Master Rong had come by himself, but who knew that Ah Ben was even more shameless than him.
It brought a gift, a bone with meat on it, as a gift to its eldest brother.
This made Coke, who ate meat and fish every day, very disgusted. He pushed the bone back without hesitation, but he still appreciated the gesture.
After chewing the bone, Aben served as a sandbag for the boss, and the two dogs started playing in the yard.
Young Master Rong stole the old man's Maotai. "Sister, this is 1982 Maotai, which is older than my mother's. You've never seen it, have you?"
Jiang Ning smiled, "I have indeed never seen it."
Five-star brand, yellow-glazed porcelain bottles, used to cost as much as RMB 150,000 per bottle before the end of the world, and are even more expensive now.
She has 10 bottles stored in her space, all of which belong to her domineering cousin, and she cannot tell anyone about it even if she is beaten to death.
