Chapter 90 Sister, You're a Good Person
When Zhang Qiang heard Meng Shiwan's question, he scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"When I went to knock on the window, I was accidentally cut off by a piece of flying glass."
Meng Shiwan: ...
Even though she considered herself a rather cold person, she was speechless at the sight of Zhang Qiang's miserable state.
Meng Shiwan asked, "How come there are only so many of you left?"
Back then, there was quite a large group of people at the supermarket.
The number of people has now dwindled to a pitifully small number.
There were seven men, including Zhang Qiang, and three women around thirty years old.
The confusion and fear that had been on their faces were gone; now, tempered by hardship, they were much more resolute.
Zhang Qiang sighed, "It's all just to have enough to eat and survive. When we go out of the base to search for supplies, some people are too scared to go and don't want to go with us. Others encounter zombies or get robbed outside and die."
He glanced at Meng Shiwan and smiled bitterly, "Not to mention us poor folks, we haven't seen your RV for the past few days. I thought you had left. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Meng Shiwan looked at them and remained silent for a moment. "When you're done with your work, wait for me in the registration hall."
Zhang Qiang and the others were all taken aback when they heard this.
She immediately became happy and said, "Okay, sister, we'll come find you after we sell our stuff."
They don't need to ask why they're waiting for her; it's definitely a good thing.
My sister usually ignores these people, but now that she's told them to wait, they'll wait.
Zhang Qiang grinned, "Sis, let's go sell things first."
The group jogged along the way, afraid that if they were delayed too long, Meng Shiwan would get impatient.
The registration center isn't far from here; it's just around the corner.
Meng Shiwan got out of the car and walked towards the registration center.
The situation here is similar to the last time I came; there are still many newly arrived survivors queuing up to apply for residence permits.
Thanks to Meng Qingyue's reminder, the base knew that acid rain would begin in less than two months.
It seems that now every available person has been sent out.
Gathering supplies and rescuing survivors is of utmost urgency.
Otherwise, how many more supplies will be destroyed when acid rain comes?
We're truly racing against time right now.
Meng Shiwan walked to the innermost window, which was specifically for handling matters such as changes of address, and there were hardly any people there.
She sat down and handed over her residence permit. "I want to rent a house in the villa area."
The staff member was somewhat surprised and reminded her, "Houses in the villa area are very expensive, basically costing between 50,000 and 100,000 points per month."
The villas now inhabited are all the wealthy people from before the apocalypse, who have so many resources that they can afford to squander them like this.
Ten points are enough for a person to eat their fill for a whole day.
50,000 points can keep a person from going hungry for almost two years.
Now it's only enough for a month's rent for a villa.
The staff were worried that Meng Shiwan might not be able to afford the rental, so they checked the points on her card first.
Five hundred and eighty thousand, that's barely enough to rent.
The staff took out information on two villas, saying, "These two are on the edge of the villa area. They cost 50,000 points a month and are fully furnished and decorated. It's a great deal."
Meng Shiwan glanced at them and selected one of them, saying, "Let's rent this one."
Location doesn't matter to her; as long as the interior decoration is nice and it's comfortable to live in, that's all that matters.
The staff helped her with the paperwork, deducted three months' rent upfront, and handed her a large bunch of keys.
"The rent will be automatically deducted every month. You can also come here in advance to renew the lease. If you are more than ten days late, the property will be forcibly taken back."
Meng Shiwan obtained the villa's address, took a photo, and posted it in the team group chat, along with the caption:
"Take your families and settle them here."
Soon, the group chat started ringing.
Tao Yarong: "Sister, why are we going to the villa? Why do we need to go to the villa? It's a villa!"
Lei Zhe: "I couldn't even afford a villa before the apocalypse, so does that mean I can afford one after the apocalypse, just like my sister?"
Anjiewen: "This...this can't be staff dormitory, can it?"
Qiu Zhiyi: "What? Living in a villa?"
They were a little unsure of Meng Shiwan's meaning.
Meng Shiwan had said she would support their families, but they thought that at most they would just give them points.
Then they made their own way of settling their families.
Tao Yarong and the other two were discussing whether they should rent a house together so that their families could live together and take care of each other.
They found out that Meng Shiwan had asked them to go to the villa.
It can't be employee dormitories, can it? What big boss would use a villa as employee dormitories?
It's very likely that Meng Shiwan let them relax and just rent the place for a day.
Meng Shiwan replied, "Yes, it's staff dormitory, and family members can stay there."
Then the people in the group went crazy with joy.
Tao Yarong: "Ahhh, sis, I love you to death! Let's go now!"
Lei Zhe: "What kind of boss arranges villas for their employees? Wow, it's mine! Sis, you have no idea how charming you are now."
Anjiewen: "Quickly, let's talk at the villa."
Chiu Chih-yi: "Let's go now."
These guys are absolutely ecstatic.
Following my sister's lead, life is getting better every day.
As Meng Shiwan walked out of the hall, a group of guides surrounded her again.
The young man who had shown her the way last time was still doing the same thing, and he was quite surprised to see Meng Shiwan.
"Hey, what are you doing here again?"
Meng Shiwan was good-looking and drove a motorhome; he remembered her vividly.
Meng Shiwan said calmly, "I'm here to take care of some business. I don't need a guide."
The villa area is just a small area, very easy to find.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized they weren't the target customers and dispersed.
The young man remained enthusiastic, saying, "If you need any help, just come to me. I'll take on any job."
Meng Shiwan didn't reply to him and went back to the RV.
Ta Xue Miao Miao Miao came down from the second floor and jumped into Meng Shi Wan's arms with a thud, tilting her head and rubbing against her.
The cat knows how hard its human works hunting.
Even cats know their owners like to stick things on them.
Cats need to maximize their emotional value so that their owners know that all the cats have grown up for a reason.
Meng Shiwan was completely charmed by its cuteness.
I hugged Ta Xue and showered her with kisses—on her head, ears, and belly. She smelled so sweet, like a little kitten.
Ta Xue's eyes were clear and innocent after being kissed, but she was still obedient and didn't run away.
Meng Shiwan felt it was inconvenient to hug and kiss him, so she placed Taxue on the cupboard and buried her head in Taxue's soft belly, which was so cozy.
When she finished kissing him and looked up, she saw ten pairs of eyes staring straight at her from outside the window.
Meng Shiwan: ...
Zhang Qiang and others: ...
Is this really the aloof boss they remember?
This isn't indifferent at all.
Look at how she's kissing the cat, like a concubine who's been in the cold palace for half a year and gone mad.
Meng Shiwan coughed lightly, her face expressionless, pretending that nothing had happened.
She opened the window and said, "I'm hiring security guards and cleaners. Food and lodging provided, plus 20 points a day. Are you interested?"
Upon hearing this, without even thinking, the group nodded in unison, "Let's do it, sis, let's do it."
Where else can you find such great treatment?
With room and board provided, plus a daily wage of 20 points, you couldn't find such a good job even with a lantern.
The ordinary staff at the bottom of the base are paid only ten points a day. They live in shared rooms provided by the base, and eat the same food as the staff, receiving free water and biscuits every day.
Even so, you can't find this kind of job without connections.
The treatment Meng Shiwan offered them was far better; only a fool wouldn't accept it.
Meng Shiwan handed them a piece of paper with the villa's address on it.
"Go back and pack your things, and move in tonight."
Zhang Qiang took the paper and glanced at it, immediately turning into a screaming chicken, "A villa! It's a villa! Sister, let's move in! Food and lodging provided! It's not a villa, is it?"
Upon hearing this, the others immediately reacted as if their daughter-in-law had entered the room with great excitement.
"A villa? Really? I passed by before and saw the security guards inside wearing uniforms, standing in the guard booth enjoying the air conditioning. They looked so impressive."
"Who can argue with that? Back then, I was thinking that if I could work as a security guard in an air-conditioned room, I would be willing to spend any amount of money to pull strings."
"We're not going to stay in a villa, are we?"
Before the apocalypse, villa areas were seen as a symbol of wealth.
In the post-apocalyptic world, those who live in villas in the base are considered extremely wealthy.
Even working as a security guard in a villa area would make countless people envious.
It's extremely hot right now; people are getting heatstroke and dying from heat exhaustion every day.
Being able to work and earn money while enjoying air conditioning at a time like this is definitely an excellent job.
In the morning they were risking their lives outside the base for a few points, but by night they'd be living in villas and earning high wages?
Happiness came so quickly that they felt like they were dreaming.
They all stared at Meng Shiwan expectantly, trying to get a reassuring answer from her.
Meng Shiwan said helplessly, "I sent you to work as security guards and cleaners to ensure the safety of the people in the villa and to keep their living environment clean and tidy. You don't live in the villa, so how can you guarantee their safety at all times?"
Zhang Qiang immediately assured her, "Sister, don't worry. You've given us such a good job, we'll protect their safety and do our job well, even if it costs us our lives."
"We'll go back and pack our things now, and report to the villa later."
Meng Shiwan waved her hand, "Go ahead, go ahead."
Zhang Qiang was so happy that his mouth stretched from ear to ear, and he even forgot about the pain in his ear.
He said sincerely, "Sister, you are a good person."
Without this job, they would have to continue searching for supplies outside.
Once the supplies in the nearby area are exhausted, we'll have to search in more distant places, which will be more dangerous.
Who knows, maybe one time I won't be able to come back.
Meng Shiwan gave them not jobs, but their lives.
Every time Zhang Qiang and his friends saw Meng Shiwan, she acted like she didn't want to be approached. They shamelessly tried to greet her, but she remained cold and indifferent.
But she helped them more than once.
I helped them clear out the zombies near the supermarket, and now I'm working for them.
My sister is a good person, not a villain.
Zhang Qiang secretly vowed to do this job well and not to let his sister down.
On their way back, about ten people casually opened their phones and started searching in the search bar.
On the professional qualities of security guards.
[The professional qualities of a maid.]
What makes a good maid?
Security guard workflow.
After looking at his tattered, smelly clothes, Zhang Qiang immediately made a decision.
"Let's use the points we earned today to buy two new outfits, take a good shower, and go to work feeling refreshed."
Otherwise, if those rich people, or those well-dressed security guards, saw us going in like a bunch of beggars, it would be so embarrassing for me.”
The others chimed in, "Okay, I'll use all my points to get a really nice outfit."
A group of people were full of fighting spirit; they were no longer the lazy bums they used to be.
This time, I'm truly treating this job as a career.
