"Ah?"
Luo Xin's face instantly froze.
A slave?
That seems a bit erotic!
Could it possibly mean what I think it means?
I was just thinking about mooching some food and drink, no need to go this far!
She quickly chuckled and said, "Well, upon further thought, it seems I still have some relatives in Sanjiang City."
"Maybe I should just——"
Before she could finish, she was already surrounded by the twelve Protectors.
In the middle stood Zhang Ye, expressionless.
"Where does your relative live, what's his surname, his name, which street, in which community, which unit, which number?"
"Uh..."
Luo Xin suddenly found herself speechless.
Her voice suddenly dropped, and she mumbled with her head down:
"It's not a big deal... I can just give back the food I eat later..."
"A few packets of biscuits... and I have to sell myself..."
"That's just... too cheap..."
Zhang Ye snorted and gave a signal with his eyes to the zombies beside him. In an instant, Luo Xin's body was lifted by two massive forces on either side.
"You've already taken the wages, and now you want to run?"
"Not a chance!"
He turned and walked straight towards Liu Qingqing—no, towards his own villa; behind him was Luo Xin, carried away like a sow.
The woman initially struggled violently, continuously calling for help:
"Help!"
"Kidnapping an innocent young lady here!"
"You beast, you won't even let someone like me go!"
After a while, she probably got tired.
Her body stopped thrashing about.
But her mouth still feebly cried out: "Please, have mercy on me."
"I'll be your oxen and horse in the next life!"
"I'll repay what I ate tenfold, a hundredfold!"
"It's just a lousy biscuit, can't I repay you with a hundred more?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance, seemingly noticing the situation here, and quickly trotted over.
Luo Xin immediately perked up, screaming at the top of her lungs:
"Help, save me!"
"Assault!"
"In the twenty-first century, and I, a proper young lady from a good family, am being forced into slavery!"
The figure quickly approached, only to be a sweet-faced, tall woman.
Liu Qingqing looked at the woman resembling a sow, utterly shocked.
"Ye Zi!"
"That can't be!"
"Our basement is already packed!"
"There's no need for cannibalism, besides, this woman clearly isn't quite right!"
She said this and even commanded a zombie nearby to poke Luo Xin's butt, then immediately had an I-knew-it expression:
"I knew it!"
"Must be a mutation!"
"Why else would she be so plump!"
Luo Xin, who had thought a savior had come, couldn't hold back and blurted out: "You're the one who's sick! Your whole family is sick!"
"I have peach-shaped buttocks!"
"Don't speak nonsense if you don't understand, okay? I've looked like this for years!"
"Plump?"
"Where am I plump?"
"Did you ever reflect on yourself when you said that?"
She was about to continue insulting when she turned her head and saw Zhang Ye quietly watching her, instantly recalling the nickname she had just heard in the woman's words.
Ye Zi?
It couldn't be Zhang Ye's nickname, could it?
It's over, after all the insults, it turns out they are a couple!
Luo Xin immediately shut her mouth.
The three soon returned to the villa, with all the zombie staff staying outside, conveniently patrolling the villa area together with the zombies responsible for security.
If anyone tried to sneak in under the cover of night, they were sure to be scared half to death.
As soon as Luo Xin entered the door, she was assigned a task.
To restore power to the villa area.
"Impossible."
"Absolutely impossible."
The woman's head shook like a tambourine, but her gaze was not on Zhang Ye.
She had already learned the name of the woman sitting on the sofa.
Liu Qingqing.
Zhang Ye's secretary, supposedly?
Luo Xin subconsciously curled her lip, lamenting how someone so young could have such a degraded lifestyle.
With this thought, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Ye again.
I thought I was brought here to be screwed.
Turned out he really came to work.
"You think you can restore power to such a huge villa district with just these two generators that aren't even 200kw?"
"You're dreaming too big."
Luo Xin said this and then turned her head, apparently looking for something.
"Plus, you don't have fuel, do you?"
"Fuel?"
"What fuel?"
Zhang Ye, who had been happily waiting for a system prompt to announce the task's completion, curiously asked.
The woman's expression changed on the spot.
"You don't know that generators need fuel?!"
"Gasoline!"
"Haven't you used a generator before?"
Zhang Ye, seeing the full disdain in her eyes, couldn't help but feel a bit irritated.
"Who are you looking down on?"
"I've used a generator before, okay?"
He said this as he took out the two hand-crank generators he'd bought for a measly nine yuan and nine.
Squeak squeak.
Zhang Ye proudly cranked the handle.
The faint electric current soon had a small light bulb at the end of the generator shining.
"Bro."
"Maybe we should find a doctor?"
Luo Xin looked at him with a concerned face, raising her hand to point to her own head.
"If you delay any longer, it'll be too late once it rots away."
Seeing that Zhang Ye's face was looking a bit unpleasant, she immediately changed her tone:
"Sorry!"
Then she added in a wronged voice:
"But it really won't work without fuel!"
"This isn't a toy."
"Any oil will do?"
Liu Qingqing, who had been lying on the sofa reading a novel, suddenly sat up and asked.
Luo Xin looked at her doubtfully.
This woman's brain didn't seem very sharp; was she about to propose some crazy idea?
Ten minutes later.
Two zombies staggered in from outside.
Each was clutching a bucket.
Agricultural diesel.
Luo Xin looked at the fuel in front of her with a complex expression, at a loss for words.
The last shortcut opportunity.
Had shattered.
"There's plenty more in the garage."
"Just help yourself."
"And if you need any tools or wires or anything, there are plenty of those too."
Zhang Ye said, then turned to look at her.
His eyes full of encouragement.
"I only have one request."
"By this time tomorrow, I want to see the whole living room lit up."
"Oh, and the TV."
"And the fridge too."
"The weather's been pretty hot, so the air conditioner too."
"And—"
Zhang Ye got more and more excited as he spoke, ending up wanting to bring over his 4080 as well.
"My computer is a bit power-hungry."
"Over four hundred watts in total."
"You see—"
Luo Xin couldn't take it anymore.
What was this, work? This was more like a death sentence!
How could she possibly handle such a big villa all by herself?
Just as she was about to complain, she heard another sentence by her ear.
"I'm planning to establish an energy department."
"It will be responsible for managing the power supply at the company base."
"Luo Xin."
"From now on, you'll be the director."
Company?
Director?
And what energy department?
Luo Xin was caught off-guard and confused, but suddenly a question popped up in her mind.
If she's the director,
Who is going to be the employee?
She couldn't be a one-woman department, could she?
