Breakfast was still at the breakfast stall downstairs. Salty tofu pudding and fried dough sticks—it was so comforting. Today's task was to buy some baby chickens, ducks, and geese to raise.
Although she had stockpiled quite a bit of various meats, there would come a day when they would all run out, so it was more reliable to raise and breed them herself. She had already planted the seeds in the black soil, but she wasn't in a hurry as to when they would grow.
As soon as I stepped out of the breakfast stall, I ran into Li Mingxuan. He was wearing a purple hooded sweatshirt with a white shirt underneath, stylish pants, and white sneakers.
He had clearly put a lot of effort into his appearance. He had the look of a handsome young man, exuding youthful energy. But Jian Ning wasn't moved by him at all. He was just a peacock displaying its feathers, with no good intentions.
"Jian Ning, I came here especially to pick you up so we can go to school together." There was a hint of pleading in her voice.
"Li Mingxuan, if you didn't understand what I said yesterday, then I'll repeat it again: I don't like you."
I don't want to be friends with you either. I hope you have some self-respect and stay away from my life from now on, along with Miao Xin. Just seeing your faces makes me sick!
"Jian Ning, how can you talk like that? Aren't you the one who's always been following me around, bringing me gifts every day?"
Miao Xin is your best friend. She always speaks highly of you to me. If she knew you talked about her like that behind her back, she would definitely be heartbroken.
After being publicly rejected by Jian Ning yesterday, Li Mingxuan was furious. It was only after Miao Xin repeatedly persuaded him that he dressed up specially this morning, hoping to win Jian Ning back.
You see, although Jian Ning's family wasn't well-off, she was incredibly beautiful, very presentable, and gentle and considerate. Every gift she gave him was exactly what he wanted, and it perfectly satisfied his vanity.
Therefore, at this stage, he has no intention of giving up on Jian Ning until he encounters a better target.
Now that I've heard her say that, I can't control my emotions at all. That brat, she really doesn't know what's good for her.
He thought he really liked her? If Miao Xin hadn't repeatedly persuaded him, he wouldn't have come looking for this awkward situation.
"Just consider me blind before, not recognizing you two despicable people."
"Don't hang around me too much in the future. You'd better keep at least ten meters away when you see me, or I won't be so lenient next time." Jian Ning finished speaking and strode out.
"Jian Ning, stop being childish. Let's make up. Tell me what I did wrong, and I'll change!" Unexpectedly, Li Mingxuan didn't want her to leave.
Instead, he grabbed her hand; the slippery feel made Jian Ning feel nauseous.
He immediately grabbed his face and scratched it hard.
Yes, she doesn't have much fighting ability right now, but her fingernails are long—a real weapon for scratching. Why wouldn't she scratch him now?
"Huh? Jian Ning, why are you scratching me?" Li Mingxuan was completely caught off guard and only felt a stinging pain on his face.
Then liquid started flowing out, which meant he had scratched himself until he bled. He didn't care that he was still holding Jian Ning, and touched the painful spot with his hand. Sure enough, his hand was covered in blood.
"This is a warning to you. If you ever lay a hand on me again, I'll send you to the police station and report you for sexual harassment!" Jian Ning felt a surge of satisfaction as she looked at the bloody scratches on his face.
She ignored him and turned to leave. Her time was precious; she couldn't waste it on him. She hailed a taxi and went straight to the poultry wholesale market.
We bought 500 chicks, 500 ducklings, and 500 geese, 2,000 piglets, and 1,000 cattle and 1,000 sheep. We paid deposits for all of them and asked them to be delivered to the warehouse within two days.
Anyway, she could feed the animals with her thoughts from inside the jade pendant space, so raising these animals wouldn't be too tiring for her.
You have to understand how difficult it is to get meat in the apocalypse; poultry either freeze to death or die from the heat. Very few will survive.
I went back to the ramen shop downstairs at noon to pick up my ordered noodles. Then I went to Jinmao Mansion, where Er Gouzi had already started leading people to work.
When Jian Ning arrived, the bulletproof and blast-proof glass inside the house had already been installed.
"Miss Jian, take a look. I used the best glass available. The security door is also finished and can be installed this afternoon." As soon as Er Gouzi saw Jian Ning coming over, he quickly came over to tell her about the progress of the construction.
“Great. Could you please come upstairs with me and take a look? I want to completely enclose the terrace, use this kind of shatterproof glass, make the frames with the strongest steel bars, and cover the walls with iron plates.”
Upon hearing Jian Ning's words, Er Gouzi's eyes widened.
"Hey sis, no offense, but we live in a peaceful era now. Why are you building something so sturdy, like a fortress? Who are you trying to keep an eye on? With Brother Jian living next to you, what are you afraid of? Is someone threatening you?"
"No, don't overthink it. Would you be stupid not to make money? Just tell me if you're willing to do it or not. If you can't, I'll find someone else." Jian Ning wasn't going to explain her intentions to him.
"Damn it, it's a waste not to make money. I'll go take the measurements right now. Miss Jian, come up and tell me again how you want it done so I can write it down." Er Gouzi took out a measuring tape from his pocket and turned to walk upstairs.
This rich girl has some issues; don't get too involved, it's a waste of her pretty face.
I suspect he's having some kind of mental health issue. I should probably talk to Jian about it later. If it gets serious, I should take him to the hospital.
Jian Ning followed Er Gouzi upstairs and explained her ideas, telling him that the project must be completed within ten days, and that Jian Anping should also follow her standards. Money was not an issue; the quality had to be top-notch.
Er Gouzi nodded and bowed in agreement. Money talks, so he just listened.
As Jian Ning was arranging things here, she subconsciously glanced at the door of room 1603 next door as she walked out the door.
She heard some noises inside. Could someone have moved in? That's a bit troublesome. If it were a two-unit-per-floor building, it would be much better; she could just seal off the stairwell and no one could come up. Thinking this, she turned and went back inside.
He called Er Gouzi to measure the dimensions of the staircase and ordered five steel pipe security gates, also asking him to install large locks on them.
Two sets of installation tools have been ordered. We'll have Jian Anping install them later. If we do it now, the property management probably won't agree.
Er Gouzi is now completely submissive. He'll do whatever Jian Ning tells him to do, since she's paid him a good amount. And she doesn't even haggle. Where else can you find such a good customer?
He also gave a lot of advice: "Miss Jane, if you want this door to protect against bad guys, I can weld sharp nails all over it, facing outwards, like a hedgehog. People definitely won't dare to touch it."
It can still be powered. Do you need me to bring you several dozen meters of wiring?
