A typical warehouse administrator is not responsible for helping employers unload and load goods. They only patrol at night to ensure the warehouse's circuits are smooth and there are no power outages.
The administrator walked out with an impatient look. Although the job wasn't hard, the salary was meager, and there was little opportunity to skim profits.
However, upon seeing a beautiful girl with short hair, his attitude immediately did a 360-degree turn.
"That's me. Is there something you need?"
"It's like this, our company has ordered a lot of goods and plans to do export trade. But there are too few workers to unload the cargo there. Could you trouble yourself to find more people to help unload? You can also supervise. I'll give you a thousand yuan in labor fees daily, and the money for finding workers will be calculated separately."
When the administrator heard there was such a good thing, his face broke into a smile, and his attitude became even more respectful.
"No problem, leave this to me, don't worry!"
"There's one more thing. You don't need to go to the warehouse tonight. We'll be using people to haul the goods away at night."
"Do you need people at night? I can also help out at night."
Seeing Xu An was so generous, the administrator thought he might as well earn a little.
Xu An shook her head.
"We can handle it ourselves at night, so don't trouble yourself."
She planned to sneak over at night and put all the supplies into her space.
But the cargo, which was full the day before, would disappear the next day. She had to find a reason to cover it up.
After giving instructions, Xu An paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan and then left the warehouse.
Watching Xu An's tall back gradually disappear, the administrator happily walked back towards the warehouse.
Upon seeing the continuous stream of trucks, he realized why they needed help unloading. With only a few workers, it would take until next year to finish.
After leaving the warehouse, Xu An went to the seafood wholesale market and bought various dried scallops and other seafood.
She then went to the slaughterhouse and farms to buy all kinds of meat, fruits, and vegetables.
She instructed them to deliver to the designated location, paid the deposit, and left.
...
After leaving the last agricultural market, Xu An checked her watch and saw it was already lunchtime.
She drove to a pig intestine rice noodle shop she used to frequent.
As soon as she entered, she smelled the unique, strong aroma of pig intestines.
The temptation made Xu An immediately surrender.
"Boss, twenty bowls of pig intestine rice noodles, all with an extra portion of pig intestines, and give me ten bottles of ice cola~"
The proprietress assumed it was a company group meal and that this young girl was here to reserve seats, so she didn't ask further.
It wasn't until the twenty bowls of pig intestine rice noodles were served and all eaten by Xu An that the proprietress was belatedly surprised...
"This girl can really eat."
...
"Burp~ I'll go check out the car dealerships later."
Finally full, Xu An looked at the bank account balance on her phone, patted her round belly, and finished the last sip of ice cola before leaving the pig intestine shop.
As she was leaving, she suddenly remembered something.
She turned back into the shop.
"Boss, can you take orders?"
"Yes, are you ordering work meals?"
Xu An did not deny it and went along with the proprietress's words.
"Boss, starting tomorrow, deliver 1,000 portions of pig intestine rice noodles to me daily at xxxxxxxx address for three months, is that okay?"
When the proprietress heard 1,000 portions, she was even more surprised than when she saw Xu An eat 20 portions of pig intestine rice noodles.
"Can you finish it?"
Xu An nodded, "We're all live streamers, you know, those competitive eaters? They have big appetites."
The proprietress finally believed her.
Xu An paid the proprietress the full amount upfront and turned to leave.
After leaving the pig intestine shop, as if inspired, she did the same at other restaurants she frequented.
Similarly, she asked the shop owners to make 1,000 portions of meals daily and deliver them to the same address.
She also went to various restaurants, such as Hangzhou cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, KFC, McDonald's, French cuisine, Japanese cuisine...
She ordered a portion of every cuisine she could think of.
Although freshly made food would definitely taste better, she couldn't possibly perform a "magic trick of disappearing food" for everyone at the restaurant.
She had to make do, and once the food arrived, she would put it into her space.
The address Xu An gave was a detached villa her mother had bought in Jiangzhou.
They didn't plan to move in. They would have all the express deliveries and takeout sent there, put them all into her space, and then return to the smaller high-rise apartment where they were currently living.
Although she had to travel there every day, it was safer.
The villa was too large. For the first three months after the apocalypse, the climate would be abnormal, extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night.
Many people who went to shelters in the early stages died on the way.
Perhaps they escaped the zombie attacks, but they couldn't escape the pursuit of the natural disasters.
Therefore, she didn't plan to take her mother to a shelter at the beginning of the outbreak. She planned to lie flat at home and make further plans after the climate returned to normal.
Smaller houses had their advantages. Both heating and cooling were more energy-efficient.
With this in mind, Xu An decided to find renovation workers starting tomorrow to further modify her home.
They lived on the top floor, which came with a terrace. She wasn't worried about zombies climbing up, but she couldn't guarantee others wouldn't.
The first thing to do was to seal off the entire terrace.
Then, reinforce the doors and windows and thicken the soundproofing layer.
If the apocalypse broke out and everyone else was struggling to find food, but Xu An's family was living normally, that would truly attract trouble.
After all, after the zombie outbreak, cities would face power and water outages.
As Xu An walked into the car dealership, she noticed someone staring at her unpleasantly.
Years of survival habits in the apocalypse immediately made her vigilant.
Her mind raced.
"Could it be that I've hoarded too much supplies, and relevant departments have noticed me?"
Xu An was constantly thinking of countermeasures, but before she could prepare, someone patted her shoulder.
"Xu An, long time no see, you've been recently..."
Before Chen Shuang could finish saying "Are you okay?", the hand lightly patting Xu An's shoulder was grabbed, and she was thrown to the smooth floor with an over-the-shoulder slam.
Chen Shuang: "...Wuwuwu, Xu An, what are you doing! Even if Tang Qing is your boyfriend, you don't have to do this to me... He doesn't like you anyway, why don't you look in the mirror, tomboy! Wuwuwu..."
Facing the crying woman lying on the ground, Xu An felt innocent.
She felt that the face was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
Besides, it was this girl who came up and patted her shoulder without saying hello. It was just a reflex action.
In the apocalypse, such behavior was called courting death.
If you dared to touch someone casually, they would directly offer you a bullet.
Chen Shuang, this little white lotus, died before she could even get started and was thrown to eat dirt.
Full of resentment, she immediately called for backup.
"Wuwuwu... Brother Tang Qing, hurry up, wuwuwu... Hurry up and save me... I'm at the car show..."
Chen Shuang's voice, as she made the call, was soft and cooing, with a crying tone, completely different from her earlier ranting about Xu An being a tomboy.
Xu An: Oh ho, this little girl has two faces!
Listening to her crying on the phone and asking Tang Qing to save her, Xu An finally remembered who the person in front of her was.
It was the little white lotus that Tang Qing betrayed her with and cheated on!
In her previous life, she lived in a daze. Later, she didn't know how they were doing, whether they both turned into zombies and experienced "heart-wrenching" love.
"Who bullied you!"
Tang Qing rushed over and saw Chen Shuang sitting on the ground. Just as he was about to get angry, he looked up and saw Xu An standing in front of him.
He was momentarily lost in thought as he gazed at Xu An, but he concealed it well. However, Chen Shuang, nestled in his arms, captured it.
As the saying goes, one can't be a proper little white lotus without a few years of practice.
She displayed her weakness and fear to the fullest, trembling all over, shrinking into Tang Qing's arms, and tightly gripping his clothes.
"Brother Tang Qing, Sister Xu An definitely didn't do it on purpose. She definitely didn't vent her anger on me and throw me to the ground because of something else. Little Shuang doesn't hurt, don't blame Sister Tang Qing."
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have liked you so much that I couldn't help myself, and I caused you two to argue and break up. It's all Little Shuang's fault..."
After speaking, she buried herself in Tang Qing's arms without waiting for him to react, looking like a little white rabbit being bullied by anyone.
