Seeing how decisively Wen Ruchu handled everything, Liang Pingyu’s smile was almost impossible to suppress—it was harder to control than an AK rifle. Another deal completed. This lady was truly his lucky star.
“I’d like to buy 2902 as well. Please handle the procedures for me.”
When Liang Pingyu heard that, he quickly replied, “Sorry, Miss. Unit 2902 has already been purchased.”
Wen Ruchu frowned upon hearing this.
Someone had bought it?
That was not good news at all. She had no desire to have neighbors. Unfortunately, the only thing she clearly remembered was that this particular building had remained standing. Her memories of the other buildings were vague, which was why she had insisted on choosing Building 8.
Forget it.
She would first observe what kind of person this neighbor was. If they turned out to be someone who liked causing trouble, then she would simply kill them when the time came. If they minded their own business, that would be best. She didn’t want to make a mess where she lived.
For a major client like Wen Ruchu, the real estate agency worked with rocket-like efficiency. Very quickly, all the procedures were completed for her.
The apartment cost 2.6 million, and together with the warehouse rent, the total was only 2.66 million.
Not bad.
Her housing issue was settled.
After leaving the real estate agency, Wen Ruchu found an elderly man and hired him to watch over the warehouses. She offered him a monthly salary of ten thousand. She didn’t have the time to stand guard in front of the warehouses every day waiting for deliveries. If money could solve a problem, she would simply use money.
…
At the renovation district, Wen Ruchu found a renovation company that appeared to have the largest scale and explained her requirements.
Every piece of glass in the apartment had to be replaced with the highest-grade bulletproof glass. Two layers of anti-theft window bars and two layers of window screens had to be installed. The walls had to be fully covered with soundproof cotton.
The main door had to be made of the most durable material. She wanted three doors installed, including a bank-grade security door. As for the kitchen, bathroom, and other facilities, she simply asked them to use the best materials available and handle everything themselves.
The deadline was one week.
The reason was simple—after one week, she would have nowhere else to live.
When the renovation company heard her requests, they couldn’t help twitching their lips.
“Miss, are you trying to turn your house into an impenetrable fortress? And finishing this in one week is impossible. It would take at least half a month.”
Wen Ruchu remained calm and explained that she had paranoia about being harmed, so she wanted to make the house more secure to sleep peacefully.
She also added that if they could complete everything within a week, she would pay extra. Not only that, every worker involved in the renovation would receive an additional fifty thousand as a hardship bonus.
As the saying went, money could make ghosts push a millstone.
At first, no one had wanted to take the job. Now they were competing for it.
Following the principle that the customer was king, the renovation company promised to complete everything within a week.
Only then did Wen Ruchu leave with satisfaction.
By the time she left the renovation company, it was already noon.
As the saying went, people were made of iron and food was steel—missing a meal would leave one starving.
Wen Ruchu found an old restaurant by the roadside that looked simple but well-established. She glanced at the menu briefly and ordered without hesitation.
“Boss, bring me one serving of all your signature dishes.”
The dishes were served quickly—eight in total.
The braised pork was soft and flavorful, the spicy and sour chicken feet were chewy and springy, and the steamed fish was tender and delicious.
As expected of an old, reputable restaurant.
Wen Ruchu’s appetite grew greatly. Within twenty minutes, she had finished three bowls of rice, though she had only eaten half of the dishes because there was simply too much food.
Even so, the amount she ate astonished the nearby customers. A young girl who didn’t look very big had actually eaten so much.
Since being reborn, Wen Ruchu felt constantly hungry.
She remembered how in her previous life, because that scumbag Shen Chiyan had said he liked slender girls, she had always maintained her figure and hardly dared to eat much. Thinking about it now made her want to slap herself.
In truth, she wasn’t fat at all. On the contrary, she had a curvy figure—one of the best in the entire medical department.
Thinking of those two idiots made her feel so angry that she could probably eat two more bowls of rice.
But it was fine.
When the apocalypse arrived, she would deal with them properly. Right now, stockpiling supplies was the priority.
She called the restaurant owner over.
“Boss, please pack the remaining dishes for me. Also, I really like the food here, so I’d like to order meals for my company employees for one month as work lunches. Is that possible?”
“Of course it is. How many do you need?”
Wen Ruchu glanced at the menu. There were more than twenty dishes.
“Prepare fifty servings of each dish every day. Each serving should come with a portion of rice and be packed in disposable lunch boxes. I’ll come pick them up around twelve-thirty every noon.”
Hearing such a large order, the restaurant owner immediately hired two additional helpers.
This was big business.
Once he finished this order, he could take his wife on a nice trip for a while. Recently, the weather had been getting hotter and hotter, and business had not been easy.
Using the same method, Wen Ruchu placed orders with more than a dozen other restaurants, including places that specialized in bullfrog hotpot, chicken pot, crab pot, and more.
In short—if it tasted good, she ordered it.
In fact, Wen Ruchu herself knew how to cook. After her parents died, even though she had once been a pampered princess, she had to learn to rely on herself. Other people couldn’t be trusted.
But when the apocalypse came, she might not always have the time or conditions to cook. Buying more prepared food was safer.
She had already tested it—food stored inside the Dimensional Space would remain fresh. However, the house and yard inside the space did not preserve food the same way.
Still, it didn’t matter. She could place longer-lasting items inside the house.
These meals would probably last her for several years.
As for what came afterward, she would deal with it later. The Dimensional Space wasn’t infinite anyway.
While driving through the streets, she saw a milk tea shop.
After such a miserable life, she felt she deserved a sweet cup of milk tea to comfort her fragile heart.
Wen Ruchu entered the shop and ordered fifty cups of milk tea at once. She asked the staff to help load them into the trunk of her car.
Once the car door was closed, she immediately stored them in the Dimensional Space.
Milk tea had to be enjoyed while the temperature was just right—otherwise, what was the point?
Wen Ruchu took out a cup of Zhizhi Berry milk tea from the Dimensional Space and took a satisfied sip.
Delicious!
She decided that from now on, she would stockpile fifty cups every day. Since she had been reborn, she certainly couldn’t let herself suffer.
The first day after her rebirth had been exhausting.
Even though she hadn’t done much physically, the mental pressure left her feeling drained. To be honest, everything still felt a little unreal.
After returning home and taking a hot shower, Wen Ruchu picked up her phone and began frantically ordering takeout on delivery apps—burgers, barbecue, crayfish, grilled fish, and more.
After placing all those orders, she began planning what to stockpile tomorrow.
Today she had solved the housing issue.
Tomorrow she would begin stockpiling food supplies.
For now, she planned to gather some supplies in Hua City first, then go on a massive shopping spree in the Ugly Country.
After all, if you were going to take advantage of someone, it shouldn’t be your own country—you should take advantage of someone else’s.
In the Ugly Country, she would stockpile grain and weapons. Weapons were extremely important. She had no intention of letting the neighbors stockpile food while she stockpiled guns—then turning her neighbors into her food storage.
After that, she would go to Sawadika Country to stockpile fruits.
This season was the peak harvest time for fruits.
Fortunately, it was currently summer vacation. Otherwise, she would still have to deal with school matters.
Wen Ruchu was a freshman at the Medical School of Hua University and was about to begin her sophomore year.
