Chapter 943: Chapter 354: Cai Zhi’s Frightened Heart and Trembling Flesh
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
"I’m a manager of the plantation, I’m in charge, you can’t do this, let me go, let me go."
"Help, murder, help!"
"I want to see Sister Li, I want to see Miss Song, let me go, let me go!"
Zhou Lan shouted in a panic, even lying on the ground, starting to throw a tantrum.
Kicking and flailing, trying to buy time.
Yang Wei sneered, stepping forward, directly slapping her.
"Slap—"
He was a Speed Ability User, and with this slap, Zhou Lan didn’t even have time to react, immediately swelling half of her face.
In an instant, Zhou Lan let out a scream, and then fear surged within her.
The two-month peaceful life at the Yangshan Shelter almost made her forget what kind of world this was.
It also made her forget how terrifying Superpower Users were when she struggled to survive in Meidu Garden.
She thought she had mixed into the management of the Yangshan Shelter, her mindset changed, and she became complacent.
This slap directly woke her up!
Yang Wei looked at her indifferently: "Old thing, Mr. Liang personally ordered your capture, and you still dare to shout?"
Zhou Lan immediately trembled like a sieve.
Her face turned pale, she looked at Yang Wei in fear and said: "Mr., Mr. Liang gave the order?"
At that moment, her mind buzzed, completely terrified.
How did the high and mighty Mr. Liang even notice her?
"Take her away!"
Yang Wei didn’t bother with the old thing, with a wave of his hand, two patrol members immediately stepped forward, lifted her up, and dragged her out of the plantation greenhouse.
As soon as they left, the entire plantation began buzzing with discussion.
"Mr. Liang ordered the capture of Zhou?"
"When did Mr. Liang come back?"
"Oh, good catch indeed, this Zhou, relying on her ability to grow vegetables, relied on Granny Li’s trust to act arrogant and bully newcomers, cozying up to Miss Song and Granny Li, I’ve long disliked her."
"Why do you think Mr. Liang ordered her capture?"
"I seem to know something."
"What do you know?"
"Tell us quickly."
"Recently, I saw someone coming to the plantation to investigate some things, it seems someone mentioned Zhou Lan selling vegetables from the plantation."
"What! She sold vegetables?"
"When did that happen? We didn’t know?"
"Just ask Xiaojing, won’t you?"
Suddenly, many people looked at Qin Xinran, who was in a daze.
At this moment, Qin Xinran’s face also turned pale, trembling all over.
She suddenly remembered that a while ago a young girl came to the plantation, inquiring about Zhou Lan, and it was she who mentioned to the person about Zhou Lan consistently delivering vegetables to the cafeteria manager.
...
Meanwhile, at the slaughterhouse.
Cai Zhi was drinking tea in his office while looking at this month’s report.
Soon, he frowned and looked up at Yu Mingxi beside him.
"Old Yu, why has this month’s output of red and white meat decreased so much compared to last month?"
Yu Mingxi, around fifty years old, somewhat bald, smiled and said: "Manager Cai, you know, while Mr. Liang was away these days, we didn’t dare handle the captured mutated creatures, waiting for Mr. Liang to return for slaughter."
"This portion of red and white meat hasn’t been counted yet, so naturally, it’s much less than last month."
Cai Zhi, upon hearing this, seemed to realize, and said: "I see, no wonder."
"Then please sign, and I’ll file it." Yu Mingxi smiled.
Cai Zhi nodded, not thinking much, signed his name quickly, and handed it over.
Yu Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the report, and took out several Superpower Stones from his pocket, smiling: "Manager Cai, my son recently made a small fortune in the mining area, and with Sea Tide time approaching, every household needs to prepare Talisman Stones like Stone Armor."
"I don’t have enough Points on hand, so I’ll trouble you to buy some for me, these Superpower Stones as compensation, please help me."
Cai Zhi looked at the Superpower Stones, couldn’t help but laugh, and said: "Old Yu, why don’t you just exchange the Superpower Stones for Points directly."
Yu Mingxi smiled: "I just didn’t want to delay our slaughterhouse’s matters."
Cai Zhi chuckled, accepted the Superpower Stones, knowing this was the way his subordinates bribed him.
The resale price of Superpower Stones at the shopping center and talisman shop is different.
Talisman shops offer higher prices, after all, they can make Talisman Stones, leaving some profit margin.
But selling directly to shopping center buyers would result in a loss.
Also, with more Superpower Users, some people in the shelter have surpassed a Spiritual Power of 25 points, allowing them to make Talisman Stones themselves.
Those people, lacking funds to open a store, can only privately buy Superpower Stones, make Talisman Stones, and sell them.
However, these are private transactions, so their purchase prices for Talisman Stones are higher than regular stores.
Although the profit margin is smaller, it’s better than mining every day.
In short, the price of Superpower Stones fluctuates greatly outside.
Yu Mingxi uses this method to earn a little of the price difference.
This way of gifting is still quite discreet, and something Cai Zhi can easily accept.
As for not accepting at all, that’s not very realistic.
In a society built on relationships, refusing gifts makes you the odd one out.
Yu Mingxi, having given out the Superpower Stones, left the office with a broad smile.
Zhang Youquan, who had been waiting outside, quickly approached and whispered: "So, did he take it?"
