Chapter 78 Choosing to Stay 2After Tang Xin looked at the vegetable prices, she started complaining to the man."A serving of tofu costs 20 contribution points, and there's no meat or much oil in it."Qi Tianyu noticed someone looking over; it was a heavily made-up beauty, wearing a down jacket, but her great figure was still on full display.He immediately straightened his back and said, "Eat whatever you want, don't complain. It's not like I can't afford to feed you!"Tang Xin was deeply moved. After hearing what the man said, she felt more confident and ordered two of her favorite dishes and two large bowls of rice.It's been a long time since I've had white rice. It looks so tempting, all translucent and glistening.To save face, Qi Tianyu remained indifferent throughout, until he saw the beautiful woman whistle at him before following a few men to another table for dinner.This was a good match. He was very confident in his appearance; if he dressed up, he would be just as good as the male celebrities on TV.Although there are many men here, few are good-looking. They don't cut their hair or shave their beards, and their faces look weathered and worn.Compared to him, they are far inferior.After sitting down, I saw that I had ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and looked up at the prices on the wall."How did you spend so many contribution points? There's so little stuff, are you crazy?"Tang Xin suddenly found the rice in her mouth tasteless and looked at him with a puzzled expression."Didn't you just say to order whatever you want? I was thinking that we should have a nice meal for our first meal in the cafeteria. This stir-fried pork is fresh out of the pan and smells delicious."Although there weren't many pieces of meat, it looked very appetizing. Plus, we hadn't eaten meat in a long time, so I thought I'd treat myself to a good meaty meal.Besides, I only ordered one meat dish and the other a vegetable dish. Look, isn't this tofu quite delicious?"Qi Tianyu thought the woman was terrible at managing a household, so he tapped the table."I'll let it go this time, but don't let it happen again. You'll have to give me your card for safekeeping, and from now on you'll have to tell me in advance what you want to eat. You can't keep wasting money like this!"Tang Xin was completely bewildered by the man's rapid change, not knowing what was going on. She still ate her meals, but they didn't taste as good as before.The two of them ate their fill, and the plates and bowls didn't even need washing; they were licked clean.They hadn't had such delicious food in a long time, making them feel as if they had returned to a time before natural disasters.When there are no natural disasters, such meals are just ordinary fast food, which they would disdain to eat.But now I find it to be a delicacy, which is utterly ridiculous, yet I have no choice but to accept it.Leave the cafeteria.Qi Tianyu exchanged polite words with passersby, while Tang Xin followed silently behind.They would occasionally chime in with a word or two, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the open space in front of the villa area."The environment here is great. Look how nice this villa is! I dream of living in it, but I don't have the means!" As the fat man spoke, his eyes fell on Tang Xin. The girl looked fair and delicate, and he began to have designs on her.Otherwise, I wouldn't be dealing with them."How many contribution points does it cost to rent this villa for a year?" Qi Tianyu asked casually.The fat man stretched out his hand and said, "50,000 contribution points a year! If there weren't natural disasters, could this dilapidated house even be called a villa?"Before the natural disaster, we ran a wholesale business. We didn't have a lot of money, but we still had a few million and several houses. Now we've fallen to this state, and I feel like fate is playing tricks on us. Was I too arrogant and had to suffer like this?Qi Tianyu immediately put aside her thoughts. She had originally thought the house here was nice and wanted to move here if possible.I only have a little over 9,000 contribution points left in my card, just enough to stay in the villa for two months...Just then, I saw a house in the distance, and there was a figure in the window that looked very familiar.He wanted to get a better look, but the person had already gone inside, and the man next to him left with the others. He could only lead Tang Xin back....This was the first time Jin Jun and Lin Xiuxiu had been alone together in such a formal setting. He specially cooked steak and even lit candles and placed them on the table.It was arranged like a candlelight dinner.Lin Xiuxiu hadn't expected that a man could cook such delicious steak. Paired with red wine, she unknowingly drank too much and felt dizzy.They hit it off without even realizing it; one second they were chatting away, and the next they were kissing.Then things proceeded in a natural and orderly fashion....Su Xiaoyu's preparations came in handy. Jin Junfelt he had accepted this brother. He wouldn't have children until the natural disaster ended. Wasn't it good enough for the two of them to live a simple life together?To avoid not being able to sleep at night, feeling like your whole body is on fire, and not daring to eat even after having a wife—this feeling is something only those who have experienced it can understand.But things are great now, I can finally eat! It turns out being a man is so wonderful. I definitely need to tell my buddies about this sometime, so they can find wives soon.Based on their observations over the past few days, Gu Lingxiao and Su Xiaoyu felt that although the base was under construction, it still had great potential.They've gathered all sorts of talent, and several science parks are working on networks, saying that once the research is complete, they'll have internet access.Su Xiaoyu thought that with water and electricity, it would attract many people to stay.Most importantly, they have people who can predict the weather, meaning they can prepare in advance for extreme weather, which is what attracts her the most.So when Li Haitao visited again, they made a request: that they live in the villa for free for a year.Li Haitao thought it was some kind of expert and immediately agreed, and also arranged for someone to deliver a batch of supplies.With this group joining, I'm even more confident in taking over the private base....The next morning.Su Xiaoyu took everyone to the cafeteria for spicy soup. Another reason for staying was that the cafeteria's chefs were good; there were three of them, each with their own unique style.They work in shifts, one day on and two days off. Today's chef is from Sichuan, and the food is on the spicy side.It suited their tastes perfectly.Li Haitao gave them a card with 20,000 contribution points.Su Xiaoyu attracted everyone's attention as soon as she entered the cafeteria. First of all, this girl looked very young, and then there was her silver hair, which made her unforgettable." Su Xiaoyu!" Su Qing muttered, then stopped talking as the man beside her put his arm around her waist.How is he still alive?Shouldn't they have been dead long ago?How can a blind person live?"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat." The man said, kicking the woman's leg.Su Qing gave the man a seductive smile, then pointed with her finger."Do you know those people over there?" Just then, she noticed the man following behind Su Xiaoyu.That person was a famous lawyer. Only then did I realize that it was this lawyer, Mr. Gu, who had orchestrated the sale of the shares, causing all the company's working capital to be transferred out, resulting in irreparable losses.
