Chapter 820: Causing Trouble
When Zhu Yunque opened this door for Su Nuanxi, the other mbers of the Rockflow Group imdiately started getting restless.
Especially the won like Su Nuanxi, who all wanted to fight for a chance to live on the upper deck. Who didn't know the conditions there were much better than below?
But Zhu Yunque couldn't do this, because this ship belonged to Zhang Yi. Heaven knew how difficult it was for her to make requests to Zhang Yi.
When the group of won heard Zhu Yunque's refusal, their faces showed displeasure. Though they didn't dare get angry, they still complained.
"We're all won, why do you only take care of her? We're suffering too!"
"I saw there are still many empty rooms upstairs. What's wrong with letting us have so?"
"If you ask , those crew mbers are all rough n. They should be the ones living below deck."
"That's right! When I was in university, the boys would always give us the better dorm rooms. These crew mbers really don't know how to respect won."
Zhu Yunque awkwardly smoothed her hair, unsure how to respond to these comnts.
Seeing this, Su Nuanxi ca over, linked arms with her and said to the others: "What are you all shouting about? Taking you away from that hellhole was already good enough, and now you're being picky?"
"Hmph, what's my relationship with Senior Sister compared to yours?"
She said smugly: "And let tell you, even if Senior Sister didn't ask that Zhang guy, he'd have to obediently arrange a room for . Do you know who my father and grandfather are?"
The won of the Rockflow Group looked unhappy but helpless, because Su Nuanxi's background truly wasn't ordinary - many in her family held important positions.
Su Nuanxi triumphantly pulled Zhu Yunque's hand. "Alice, let's go! Don't mind them!"
Su Nuanxi followed Zhu Yunque excitedly to the upper deck.
Zhu Yunque took out a key and brought her to the storage room.
When the door opened, they saw it was filled with mops, rags and large water pipes. There were even black diesel stains on the walls and the distinct sll of diesel in the air.
"This... Senior Sister, you must have the wrong room?"
Su Nuanxi smiled at Zhu Yunque, unable to believe this was the room arranged for her.
Zhu Yunque calmly said: "This is it. And I had to negotiate hard just to get this! Don't be so picky - it's still better than sleeping in the group bunk below, right?"
Su Nuanxi's mouth puckered like a duck's, looking utterly wronged.
"I thought you had real authority on this ship!"
Zhu Yunque began to feel uncomfortable all over.
"Ahem, of course I do! My status on the ship is about the sa as Zhang Yi's. It's just that living conditions are limited right now. Getting you this room temporarily is already quite good."
"I got you a mattress and blankets. You can tidy it up yourself!"
"It may be simple, but with so cleaning it'll be quite nice."
After offering a few comforting words, Zhu Yunque ntioned her own needs: "First co help take care of Tommy! He needs his diapers changed several tis a day. I've already torn up several pieces of clothing and don't have enough now. Help wash the used diapers." ɽαΝŐᛒΕS̩
Though dissatisfied, Su Nuanxi agreed - it was still better than being cramd below deck with everyone else.
She followed Zhu Yunque to wash Tommy's diapers.
Earlier, to get Zhu Yunque to secure her a room, she had readily promised.
But she never expected the pile of used diapers would be like a small mountain, completely covered in baby waste.
"Urk..."
Su Nuanxi retched, but as part of the deal for her private room, she had to endure the disgust and hand-wash these diapers.
Soon it was lunchti.
Three als a day were prepared in the kitchen and distributed to each deck.
The food was quite simple - all pre-made dishes that just needed heating, served with rice.
This was also why Zhang Yi didn't eat with them.
Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er woke up late, so they combined breakfast and lunch.
During alti, Zhang Yi ca out to stroll around and check on the ship's situation.
But in the dining area, an argunt was happening.
Zhang Yi heard a woman crying and Zhu Yunque arguing unhappily.
He frowned, knowing these two won must be causing trouble again.
Besides them, no one else was allowed to eat on the upper deck.
When Zhang Yi went over, he saw Zhu Yunque and Su Nuanxi arguing with the cook, while Old Tian stood nearby looking helpless.
Zhu Yunque stared hard at the cook and demanded: "Why can't you prepare an extra portion for her? Mr. Zhang already agreed to let her stay on the upper deck. Making one more serving is no trouble at all!"
The cook spread his hands helplessly: "Miss Zhu, those who don't manage don't know the cost of firewood and rice! The captain allocated fixed rations - exact portions per person."
"The upper deck only gets seventeen portions. If we give Miss Su a portion, others will go hungry."
"Why don't you discuss this with the captain?"
Zhang Yi watched the scene with folded arms, already understanding the situation.
Those below deck ate communal als.
Now that Su Nuanxi had co upstairs, of course she wouldn't want to eat that stuff anymore.
A playful smile appeared on Zhang Yi's lips as he watched without intervening.
But soon Zhu Yunque noticed him.
She stord over and said to Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang, no matter what, I'm one of the leaders of this rescue mission. Don't I even have the authority to arrange als for my assistant?"
(Like hell you do), Zhang Yi thought to himself.
He never liked this do-gooder Su Nuanxi to begin with.
But for such a trivial matter, he couldn't be bothered wasting energy. So he told the cook: "From now on, when delivering als to the Rockflow Group, set hers aside first."
Unexpectedly, the cook spread his hands: "That's what I suggested, but Miss Su refused."
Zhang Yi was surprised now.
"You're still not satisfied?"
Su Nuanxi looked at Zhang Yi with teary, stubborn eyes: "I'm a young lady from an official's family after all. Why should I eat inferior food?"
"I want to eat the sa as Senior Sister!"
It turned out when eating with Zhu Yunque, she noticed the huge gap in their al standards and imdiately protested.
Over such a minor issue, she made a scene in the kitchen, preventing the crew from eating.
A flash of impatience appeared in Zhang Yi's eyes.
He ignored Su Nuanxi and instead turned to Zhu Yunque.
"You're the one who brought her up here. How do you think we should handle this?"
Zhu Yunque frowned, sensing Zhang Yi's displeasure.
But this ti, she wasn't planning to back down.
Because Su Nuanxi was her person. If she retreated now, what face would she have left?
