Wanqi Siling
Chapter 264 Mu Chen: I Didn't Hear Anything
At that time, Mingmei forgot what she said. It seemed like she didn't say anything, or maybe she said something, but in the end, her second sister-in-law smiled freely and said, "He chose to keep looking forward. And I am the one who accompanies him forward."
Even the most beautiful first love will only become his past, staying in the old days.
So now, when facing Wang Wenying directly, Mingmei's heart still couldn't help but skip a beat.
This kind of mentality lasted until breakfast.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhen Hu brought breakfast back with him after getting off work, and a large group of people gathered around the big round table in the yard to eat quietly.
Even the two little ones, who had been running around since early in the morning, were especially well-behaved after Zhen Hu returned, sitting there quietly eating breakfast.
And Mu Chen quickly noticed the fleeting look in Mingmei's eyes as she ate.
It seemed like she was peeking at something.
"Um... nothing."
Mingmei bit the tip of her chopsticks and buried her head in the bowl of breakfast, her mind a little confused.
Wang Wenying... from her observations this morning, this NPC's personality setting is really too good.
The kind of gentleness exuding from the inside out makes people want to get close involuntarily, but in her interactions with Wang Wenfei, she can sometimes see the other party's resilience and toughness as an older sister.
From the fact that Wang Wenfei has already contributed a lot of silly and sweet smiles in this game, it can be seen that she is completely trapped.
However, if such a character setting really fits the original version, then where did her uncle get the behavioral data for this character?
Could it be her second brother?
Doesn't this mean that her second brother has been thinking about his first love for so many years?
If this is discovered by her second sister-in-law...
Thinking of this, Mingmei only felt her scalp tingle, and cursed her second brother, this sinful bad man, in her heart!
...
After breakfast, Mingmei took Mu Chen to the Ability User Canteen. This time, she didn't plan to hand over the prepared boxed lunches as casually as before.
So, when the other party came to pick up the boxed lunches, a conflict occurred between the two sides as expected.
"Miss Ming, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to raise the price like this?"
The person who came to pick up the boxed lunches had only brought two crystal cores, but Mingmei said that the price had increased, and two crystal cores could only take away two boxed lunches.
"Not at all. Go outside and ask how much my boxed lunches cost. Oh, no, isn't the price of my boxed lunches outside originally promoted by you? Have you told outsiders that you took ten boxed lunches from me directly for two crystal cores?"
Mingmei's voice became louder and louder. Even in the back kitchen, the commotion made many people stand quietly outside the kitchen door, wanting to listen to the "good show" in the kitchen.
"But considering that you provide the raw materials, my price is already much lower, right? And you still say I'm raising the price?"
The other party's face turned red with anger at Mingmei's words. He wanted to point at Mingmei with his finger and threaten her, but he was startled by the man standing behind her.
A good kitchen knife in that man's hand suddenly transformed into countless steel needles suspended in the air, pointing directly at his direction.
For a moment, the dirty words that came to his lips stopped abruptly.
He had no doubt that Mu Chen dared to attack him.
"If you feel that you can't make the decision, you can go back and find someone with more power to talk to us."
Seeing that the person opposite her was even developing from a rotten tomato to a purple eggplant, Mingmei suggested that it was better to change someone for the sake of the other party's "physical and mental health."
She hadn't even said a few words, it was just a price increase, and look how angry the child was!
"You wait for me!!"
Hmph, he even remembered to say a not-so-big threat before leaving.
After the person left, Mingmei directly took the ten boxed lunches away with Mu Chen, and also left a message that the person who came back could go directly to her residence.
This made the upper-level people who had always wanted to win her over but had been rejected repeatedly very angry!
But Mingmei didn't care. According to what Mu Chen told her, these people didn't have many good days left.
There were not a few people who were excluded by some people above. Players were basically thorns in their eyes, and some NPCs also refused to obey the orders of the higher-ups.
After Mu Chen discovered this, he knew that the risks they faced in this doomsday base were not only external, but also internal.
...
"So, Miss Ming, your request is this? If we agree, then each boxed lunch will cost one crystal core, and it will be the same in the future?"
The higher-ups quickly changed someone to come over, but looking at the person in front of her, with a contemptuous look and arrogant tone, Mingmei immediately felt that the previous one was better!
The price of boxed lunches distributed by the upper-level people and circulating in the market must not exceed two crystal cores per lunch.
This was Mingmei's condition.
"Okay." The other party nodded quickly, and then asked in return, "What if the boxed lunches sold from your hands are resold at a high price?"
"If I find out, I will naturally add the person who bought my boxed lunches to the blacklist and never sell to him. As for you... you said that the boxed lunches would be given to people who really need them, but is it reasonable to let people who really need them go to the black market to buy such boxed lunches at a high price?"
"But, there are only so many boxed lunches after all, and the demand exceeds the supply. Miss Ming, we can't save everyone who needs them."
The man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Mingmei sharply, and said, "In the end, it's because Miss Ming's ability is too weak and can't provide enough boxed lunches, isn't it?"
"Don't confuse me. I'm saying that there's a problem with the people you're giving the boxed lunches to, and you're telling me here that I'm not making enough boxed lunches. These two are not the same concept."
Mingmei was also amused by the other party's words, and added, "This is like I'm cooking for people to eat, and I ask why the food I cooked is being eaten by pigs, and you're telling me that I'm not cooking enough? If I cook more, it's also for people to eat, not to feed pigs!"
Mingmei was almost directly saying that the people above who embezzled her boxed lunches were all pigs.
Immediately, Mingmei thought that her cooking had become "pig food," and she felt uncomfortable. She added, "Damn it, you take the food I cook to feed pigs, and you dare to question me?!"
After saying that, Mingmei realized what she had just done and immediately turned her head, nervously looking at Mu Chen, who was standing behind her to support her. She saw that the other party's eyes were lowered and he was always looking at the boxed lunches on the table, as if he was in a daze.
Mu Chen: Pretending to be stupid.jpg
I didn't hear anything.
Mingmei: "..."
Very good, her image shouldn't have collapsed, right?
...
"Pfft, hahahaha, I want to make a GIF of this. Look at Mingmei's guilty look, and Mu Chen, he obviously heard it but still cooperated with Mingmei's performance of not knowing, hahaha~"
Off-site, Yan Hui watched the live broadcast alone and laughed non-stop. He immediately took action to make a GIF and sent it directly to Ruan Xun, who had just received the news and returned to the research institute.
As a result, after a long time, Ruan Xun silently sent a message - [You may be in big trouble.]
Yan Hui: [?]
Ruan Xun stared at the traces of the database on the optical brain being moved and the restored comparison of the stolen data. Finally, in the corner of a large pile of stolen research data, there was also a list of researchers' information from the research institute for the past hundred years.
Ruan Xun: [Your past may be dug up~]
