"Nannan, can your spatial ability store living things? You can directly bring our company's breeding pigs and put them in there."
Xu An shook her head.
"Not yet. I can only store inanimate objects."
In her previous life, her spatial ability evolved to store living things only in the fifth year of the apocalypse.
Xu Yan was disappointed but not discouraged.
Being able to keep things fresh was already very good.
After all, nothing was perfect.
The next morning.
After breakfast, the mother and daughter decided to go their separate ways.
Xu Yan, acting as a third party, bought all the pork from their production line.
It was about 100 tons.
Xu An, on the other hand, went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.
Grain was directly ordered from the factory.
It was not only cheaper but also less suspicious in large quantities.
This would also avoid attracting attention.
With that, the two left.
Xu An searched for a long time to find her Wuling Hongguang. After so many years, she had forgotten their parking spot.
It was only when her mother reminded her that she found it.
"Nannan, I'll head to the company first."
"Okay, bye."
Xu Yan waved goodbye to Xu An from inside her car and drove out of the underground garage.
After calculating yesterday, she realized that while 1.3 billion yuan seemed like a lot, it was actually not enough when put into practice.
She had to liquidate her company shares as soon as possible!
Xu An watched the black Audi disappear from view, then started her own small car and drove out of the garage.
The summer sun shone on her, and she looked at the lush green trees lining the streets.
It had been a long time since she had seen such beautiful scenery.
Xu An drove directly to a large warehouse-style supermarket.
This supermarket mainly dealt with wholesale and bulk purchases. Even if Xu An bought a large quantity, it wouldn't attract immediate attention.
Almost as soon as she stepped through the supermarket entrance, she received a WeChat message.
"Nannan, the warehouse has been booked. It's at 421 Ning'an Street."
Xu An looked at the message and thought, her mother was indeed a decisive female boss; that efficiency.
Top-notch!
However, she still wanted to personally inspect the warehouse to feel at ease.
With that thought, she put on her hat and mask and entered the supermarket.
"Is your supermarket manager available?"
The sales assistant looked at Xu An, who was heavily bundled up, and thought, "Is this a lunatic? Bundled up so tightly on such a hot day?"
Isn't she hot?
"Miss, what do you need the manager for?"
Xu An didn't waste time with her. She had noticed the woman's surprised expression.
She was also hot, but compared to the heat, safety was more important.
What if someone remembered that she bought so many things and happened to remember her face?
That would be asking for trouble.
Although Xu An wasn't afraid of trouble, it was simply unnecessary.
"Our company wants to make a bulk purchase of supplies. I need to place an order directly. Can you deliver it?"
Xu An's words were flawless.
The sales assistant, upon hearing that the other party wanted to make a bulk purchase, knew she was a big client and dared not be negligent.
"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go find our manager."
"Please come to the office with me and wait."
Xu An didn't refuse and followed the sales assistant to the office.
Not long after Xu An sat down, a middle-aged man with a beer belly and patchy hair walked in.
"I heard you want to make a bulk purchase of supplies. What exactly do you need?"
Xu An was also direct. She handed the man a pre-printed list.
The man took the list, frowned, and after looking at it for a while, his brow relaxed.
Holding the list, he plopped down opposite Xu An.
"May I know your name? We have everything listed here, but I don't know how much you specifically need, as there are no quantities listed."
The manager was dumbfounded when he saw the densely packed items on the list.
Those who knew would think she was buying supplies for her company, but those who didn't would think she was opening a supermarket.
The variety was just too much.
"My surname is Wang. How much inventory do you have?"
Xu An certainly wouldn't reveal her real name.
The manager seemed surprised by Xu An's response.
He was momentarily stunned.
"What do you mean by that, Miss Wang?"
"Whatever inventory you have, I'll take it all. I'll pay a 50% deposit in advance."
"The condition is that you deliver it to me. I'll give you an address, and all the items will be delivered in batches within a month. After full payment, you'll receive the remaining balance. Any other questions?"
The manager thought, "Good heavens, she's going to empty our supermarket."
He was a bit hesitant, fearing that this young lady was just playing around.
"Our inventory is all calculated in tons. Do you really want this much? This is not a small sum!"
Not to mention flour and rice, but even the toothbrushes and toothpaste on her list were calculated in tens of thousands of boxes.
Could this young lady really consume so much stock?
Xu An didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.
"Just deliver it. I have plenty of money. If you take the deposit, are you afraid I'll run away?"
Manager: "......"
With that said, the manager couldn't say anything more.
However, this young lady was really annoying...
The manager immediately said, "No problem."
Anyone who could reach this position wasn't an idiot.
Although he knew in his heart that this girl was definitely not buying for the company.
Company bulk purchases were processed through company accounts, never private accounts, especially for such a large sum.
There would also be a complete reimbursement process, and most importantly, company bulk purchases would not pay such a large deposit.
Furthermore, this young lady hadn't even mentioned invoices.
Besides, what kind of company bulk purchase buys sanitary napkins by the ton...
But what did that matter? He didn't care what she was buying these things for.
It would be foolish not to make money.
With that, Xu An took out her bank card, paid half of the deposit to the manager, left the address, and left the supermarket with the transaction receipt.
Leaving the manager standing there dumbfounded...
Outside the supermarket, Xu An thought to herself, money really doesn't last. This was just the first supermarket, and 150 million yuan was already gone.
This was just the beginning.
Fortunately, she only thought this in her heart. If anyone else heard it, they would definitely complain incessantly.
"Look at you, are you even speaking like a human?"
"You've almost emptied their supermarket, hey!"
On the list, besides basic grains, oils, and general merchandise, most of the items were daily necessities and bottled water.
When discussing which brands to buy with the manager, Xu An, adhering to the principle of getting what you pay for,
chose the most expensive brands for everything.
How expensive were they? A small toothbrush cost nearly a hundred yuan.
It wasn't surprising that the deposit alone amounted to 150 million yuan.
In her previous life, she had no choice but to endure not brushing her teeth, washing her face, or bathing.
It was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
In this life, Xu An absolutely refused to go back to that kind of inhumane life!!!
Xu An had considered becoming a defaulter. Since the apocalypse was coming anyway, she could just pay the deposit and then delay the remaining payment for half a year.
By then, perhaps all these people would have turned into zombies, and no one would come looking for her for money.
But looking at the orderly lives people lived under the protection and restrictions of laws and systems,
the last bit of purity in her heart made her reluctant to exploit this loophole.
She wasn't a saint, and she wasn't short of money.
Perhaps after the apocalypse, anyone who saw her actions would call her foolish, but she still stubbornly wanted to retain a shred of her bottom line, or perhaps her sense of morality.
With that thought, Xu An drove her little Hongguang to her next destination.
The furniture mall.
Due to the hot weather, the shop owner looked somewhat lazy. Seeing Xu An walk in, he merely raised his eyelids.
He asked listlessly, "Young lady, what do you want to buy?"
"Do you have beds?"
The owner nodded, showing a flicker of spirit, but not much.
"Yes, do you want a finished bed or a custom-made bed?"
Custom-made beds would definitely be more comfortable, but finished beds were faster. Moreover, all these furniture items needed to be aired out to release odors.
In her spatial ability, time was frozen, so these beds definitely couldn't be aired out.
Xu An thought about it and decided to buy finished beds.
"I want finished beds. How many do you have? I'll take them all!"
