After strolling around the trade area and occasionally buying so things, the group headed to the temporary office location of L City Base and rented a detached villa.
Chu Jiangyue continued to live next door with Shen Zhigui and his group.
The first day in L City was uneventful, but the next morning, soone ca knocking at the door.
Song Chengjun went to answer the door, and standing outside were two young n.
"You are..."
They hadn’t started any actions yet, and here people from the base had co?
Song Chengjun was unable to confirm the identities of the two.
"Hello, I am the assistant to the base commander."
"Hello, I am the minister of the base’s resource distribution departnt."
These two individuals held positions of significant importance in the base.
Don’t let the title of assistant fool you into thinking it’s a small role; it matters whose assistant they are.
Soone favored by a big shot can easily help you get a promotion or salary raise with a few good words; but if they put you in a spot, no matter how well you perform, you might just stay where you are indefinitely.
And the resource distribution departnt was a crucial position, both before and after the apocalypse.
With these two arriving, Song Chengjun instantly beca intensely vigilant.
"I didn’t know you two would co today, we were rushing here until yesterday, and we woke up late today. I’ll go call them."
No one else had co out from their rooms, but the truth certainly couldn’t be spoken directly, so Song Chengjun found an acceptable excuse for everyone who hasn’t co out yet.
However, in a way, Song Chengjun wasn’t wrong; it’s just that their journey might not be quite the sa as others’.
"It’s okay. If it’s inconvenient, we can arrange another ti."
The reason for coming so early was to prevent them from just passing through and leaving after one night’s stay.
As long as they arrange a eting early, there would be no worry about them suddenly leaving later.
Song Chengjun looked at the weather outside, thought about Chu Jiangyue’s schedule, and ultimately agreed to reschedule.
It wasn’t yet ti for Boss Chu to wake up; if he dared to call Chu Jiangyue to wake up, he might get an earful.
Chu Jiangyue was unaware of Song Chengjun’s internal thoughts, though she had already woken up but had yet to co out of her room.
She erged from her room once the system ti hit ten o’clock.
By this ti, the villa was bustling; many were in the living room chatting away.
Upon seeing Chu Jiangyue, Song Chengjun’s eyes lit up: "Boss Chu, you’re up for the afternoon!"
He had promised the base people they would definitely have a eting today.
If Chu Jiangyue didn’t co out, it would really be tough.
Luckily, her routine was similar to her ti at Jianglin Hotel, usually active around this ti.
With Chu Jiangyue joining, Song Chengjun stood up from his seat: "Everyone, listen to !"
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Song Chengjun.
"This morning, people from the base ca and want to et and discuss, but didn’t set a specific ti yet. What are your thoughts?"
Song Chengjun planned to get input from everyone and then vote.
"People from the base ca? What do they want?"
They’re probably eyeing our ample resources, wanting us to donate, huh?
In these tis, we can hardly provide for ourselves; who has excess to donate to others?
"They didn’t say, just invited us to et and discuss sothing."
But Song Chengjun’s intuition told him this matter of discussion wouldn’t be good news.
"They ca, and not eting would make us seem guilty."
"They targeted us on the first day, who knows what they’re plotting."
Others held opposing views, finding it unusual that the base approached them so quickly.
Though puzzled by what the base’s intentions might be, Chu Jiangyue wanted to understand the base’s plan.
Instead of guessing internally, it would be better to et and find out what the base’s intentions are.
"Let’s go have a look. Any problems, we have so many superpower users here, even if they try tricks, we’re not afraid."
This team’s lineup could undoubtedly be considered top-tier.
"Vote, minority follows majority."
Song Chengjun couldn’t make the decision alone, opting for a relatively fair thod, "Raise hands if you agree to et."
Chu Jiangyue raised her hand, Shen Zhigui and his five, Ling Feng’s three, Jin Chuyu’s six all raised their hands.
The ones who didn’t raise hands were mostly scattered Level 2 superpower users.
With majority agreeing, they decided to et.
"Since that’s decided, I’ll inform them."
With that, Song Chengjun left the villa and headed towards the base’s office area.
...
The eting ti was set for tonight at dinner, hosted by the base, inviting the group for dinner.
After dinner, they would discuss cooperation.
Song Chengjun returned before noon, leaving the rest of the day to Chu Jiangyue to wander around the base.
However, after hearing talk of a "Flower Thief" within the base from the trade area, Shen Zhigui led Su Zhucheng and four others to silently follow Chu Jiangyue, so with every glance back, she would see Shen Zhigui leading the way.
Others either returned to their own arrangents or, like Chu Jiangyue, grouped up to tour the base.
But the construction in L City Base was not as good as the B City Base, and Chu Jiangyue soon lost interest after wandering a bit.
Giving up on sightseeing and returning to the villa delighted Shen Zhigui and his five the most.
Going shopping with a girl truly wasn’t sothing to endure.
Night quietly descended, everyone returned to the villa, and led by Song Chengjun, they arrived at the small estate in L City Base with the best living conditions.
The estate housed all the managent staff, their family, and friends from L City Base.
Regardless of the era, the life of the wealthy and powerful compared to ordinary folks was drastically different.
The arrival of Chu Jiangyue’s group was warmly welcod by the managent staff, at least on the surface.
The base commander’s assistant and the minister from the resource distribution departnt who visited earlier also attended.
Song Chengjun walked ahead, exchanging pleasantries with the base personnel.
Once Song Chengjun finished the chit-chat with the base people, everyone started taking their seats.
Song Chengjun pulled Chu Jiangyue to sit beside him, while Shen Zhigui quickly sat on the other side of Chu Jiangyue.
Faced with such a scramble for key positions, Su Zhucheng and others politely opted out and went to another table.
The person sitting opposite Song Chengjun saw his gesture of seating Chu Jiangyue and raised an eyebrow, guessing that Chu Jiangyue and Song Chengjun’s relationship might be unusual.
However, upon seeing Shen Zhigui sitting beside Chu Jiangyue, his gaze towards Chu Jiangyue beca rather aningful.
Quite the thods, young lady.
Under the scrutiny of Fang Chengwu’s gaze, Chu Jiangyue felt baffled and resorted to tactical sipping.
Shen Zhigui understood Fang Chengwu’s look, and his eyes flashed with a cold gleam.
