110: Jiang Fei is an irritating person?

The cool air from the Supermarket wafted out, and everyone involuntarily took a few steps forward, wanting to bask in the air conditioning.

The next second, Zhou Wanqing closed the door and softly explained, “Ping An Supermarket keeps the air conditioning on all day, maintaining a temperature of around twenty-five degrees Celsius, so it’s impossible for products to spoil due to high temperatures.”

“Furthermore, luncheon meat cans are sealed, and maggots cannot survive in an anaerobic environment.”

“Even if you claim the can had a gap and wasn’t properly sealed, leading to maggots, the Supermarket consistently performs pest control, so there are no flies or insects to lay eggs. Where would the maggots come from? Did they appear out of thin air? Or did you give birth to them?”

Zhou Wanqing’s rebuttal left the woman speechless.

Everyone had been to Ping An Supermarket and knew that the Supermarket kept the air conditioning on and had excellent pest control measures.

Hearing Zhou Wanqing’s analysis now, their gazes towards the woman became more suspicious.

Jiang Zhengkang said sternly, “According to the Safety Shelter’s regulations, troublemakers will either be taken back to the Patrol Team for re-education for minor offenses, or detained for a week or more for serious ones.”

“If you are intentionally slandering a business, that’s a serious situation and you’ll be locked in a dark room. You’d best explain clearly what happened with the can.”

The little boy said, “Uncle Jiang, let’s go find the Patrol Team!”

The woman panicked and blurted out in desperation, “Don’t go! The Shunli Supermarket’s boss gave me a bag of flour! He told me to come cause trouble for Jiang Fei!”

Yao Jin quickly said, “You’re slandering me! I don’t even know you!”

“What I said is true! The flour is still at my house! I haven’t touched any of it! Please don’t get the Patrol Team to arrest me! I’ll go get it and return it to Yao Jin right now!”

The woman ran off in a hurry, leaving Yao Jin alone to face everyone’s Guidance (criticism).

“No wonder you don’t make money, your heart is utterly black! I’m never going to Shunli Supermarket to buy anything again! Disgusting!”

“Shunli isn’t as popular as Ping An, so you resort to unethical methods to frame others. Where’s your integrity?”

“You’re not as good at business as others, and you’re not as good a person either.”

Unable to endure being publicly shamed, Yao Jin angrily covered his face with an umbrella and ran back to Shunli.

With the witness secured, Su Liuyuan was about to call the Patrol Team to deal with Yao Jin, but Jiang Fei stopped him.

“I’ll deal with him later.”

And extort a sum of gold along the way!

Jiang Fei looked at Jiang Zhengkang and the others, “Come inside the Supermarket to talk.”

The three obediently followed Jiang Fei into Ping An Supermarket.

“You can stay and work. You’ll receive supplies once every half month, including food and daily necessities. Lunch is provided, but not breakfast or dinner.”

It had to be admitted that the three handled today’s situation well.

They could stay and try it out; if it didn't work, she would replace them.

“However, I don’t employ child labor here.”

The little boy’s heart tightened, and he nervously clutched Jiang Zhengkang’s clothes.

Jiang Zhengkang hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not speak up for the little boy. Instead, he said to him:

“It’s alright, I’ll earn supplies to support you.”

As an ordinary survivor without abilities, he was assigned to the Common sleeping area after entering the Safety Shelter and met Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi was young, his parents were missing, and he was obedient and sensible. Jiang Zhengkang occasionally shared half of his food with the child.

Unexpectedly, when the temperature rose, he didn’t adapt to the temperature difference and fell ill with a cold.

It was Xiao Shi who risked stealing fever medicine, fed it to him, and took care of him tirelessly.

Since then, he recognized Xiao Shi as his godson, taking his surname.

Jiang Xiaoshi, however, was unwilling to be a burden to Jiang Zhengkang and bravely spoke up, “Big Sister, an employment relationship is when I provide you with labor, and you pay me the corresponding compensation.”

“I can forgo any material compensation.”

“If you pity me and give me a meal a day, and I shamelessly stay to repay you, that wouldn’t count as an employment relationship.”

Jiang Fei was stunned.

Su Liuyuan was also dumbfounded, “This little guy’s mind works pretty fast.”

“I just want to live.” Jiang Xiaoshi’s eyes burned, strongly revealing his desire to live.

“I won’t cause any trouble for the Supermarket, Big Sister. You have the right to kick me out at any time.”

To be honest, Jiang Fei had seen too many people like this in her previous life.

No one wanted to die.

Just because you expressed your determination didn't mean you had a chance to survive.

But the little boy was smart, quick-witted, and suitable for sales work.

She hired people, firstly, to help Su Liuyuan share the burden, and secondly, to earn more gold.

“You have a good way with words.”

The implication was to keep the little boy.

Jiang Xiaoshi instantly beamed, “Thank you, Big Sister! I will definitely repay you with all my heart!”

Su Liuyuan couldn’t help but click his tongue, “Look at how cautious he is. There are only five of us in the Supermarket, and he’s still afraid of saying the wrong thing.”

“From now on, you’ll follow me and learn.”

He didn’t say he’d work hard, only that he’d repay her. With a mind like that, it would be a waste not to do business!

“Okay, Handsome Brother!”

“Such a sweet talker. Brother will take you to the bathroom to wash your dirty little face.”

After entrusting the three to Su Liuyuan to arrange their work, Jiang Fei took a bag of melon seeds from the shelf and went to Shunli Supermarket on the side street.

After the Safety Shelter was disinfected, Shunli also restocked and opened for business.

Yao Jin didn’t know where he was hiding.

There were no customers, and Niu Er, Han Yang, and the others were idle in the Supermarket.

Jiang Fei entered the Supermarket, sat on a chair by the door, cracked melon seeds, and looked around.

Shunli’s area was twice as large as Ping An’s, and it had a second floor that was not open to the public.

The air conditioning on the first floor must have been newly installed, as there was a musty smell.

The shelves displayed products with wrinkled packaging.

The variety was not as rich as hers, but the quantity was large, the prices were cheap, and anything broken could be exchanged.

A bag of flour was on the floor; it must have been returned by the woman.

Noticing the anomaly on the shelf, Jiang Fei felt that the gold she was about to get had increased a bit.

Unable to figure out Jiang Fei’s intentions, Niu Er quickly went upstairs to find Yao Jin.

Han Yang then awkwardly asked, “Um, what would you like to buy?”

“Crunch, crunch—”

“Our Supermarket has just restocked a lot of products. Would you like me to introduce them to you?”

No matter what Han Yang said, Jiang Fei didn't respond, concentrating on cracking melon seeds.

Until Yao Jin came downstairs with a gloomy expression, “What are you doing in my Supermarket?!”

“Do you want me to call the Patrol Team, or settle this privately?”

Yao Jin’s arrogance immediately diminished by half.

So the penniless wretch was here to settle scores with him!

He would rather spend money to avoid trouble than be taken away by the Patrol Team; otherwise, his father would skin him alive if he found out.

“Privately!”

Jiang Fei pretended to calculate, “Compensation for emotional distress, reputation damage, high-temperature allowance, 100 kilograms of gold—that’s not too much, is it?”

Yao Jin’s eyes widened, “Why don’t you just rob me?!”

“Forty kilograms of gold at most! Otherwise, just have me arrested!”

100 kilograms, his father would kill him; he'd rather be skinned alive!

“Fine, send it to my Supermarket now.”

“Niu Er, go get the gold bars!” Yao Jin said reluctantly.

There were some gold bars upstairs. After Niu Er brought them down, he drove home to retrieve the rest.

A total of 8 suitcases were delivered to Ping An Supermarket with Han Yang.

“Here’s your gold, now get out of my Supermarket!”

Jiang Fei stood up but walked towards the shelves, pointing and saying, “The bread is moldy.”

“The biscuit packaging is damaged, and the contents have spoiled.”

“There’s ant poison residue on the shelves.”

“The steamed buns are fuzzy.”

“I reasonably suspect you intend to poison the public. I am now notifying you to close the Supermarket for rectification and to come with me for investigation.”

Yao Jin scoffed, “What are you? What right do you have to order me around?!”

Suddenly, an ID card appeared in Yao Jin’s sight.

“Rescue Team, Jiang Fei.”

The ID card had a one-inch photo of Jiang Fei and an official seal.

Jiang Fei said seriously, “The Rescue Team has the authority to manage the market.”

Yao Jin was stunned.

The penniless wretch was actually from the Rescue Team?!!!

Why didn't she say so earlier?! He wouldn't have provoked her!!!

It was too late for regrets.

Seeing Jiang Fei take out a walkie-talkie to contact someone, Yao Jin immediately said, “I’ll add another 20 kilograms of gold! Let me off the hook!”

“Bribing the Rescue Team is an aggravated offense.”

“You penniless wretch, don’t go too far!”

“Insulting the Rescue Team is another aggravated offense.”

Yao Jin was almost driven to death by Jiang Fei.

How could there be such an infuriating person?!!!

“I’ll be there to handle it immediately.”

Hearing the familiar voice from the walkie-talkie, Yao Jin frowned, still wondering where he had heard it before.

Jiang Fei thoughtfully explained, “Lu Yu is from the Patrol Team.”

Yao Jin: “...”

Oh, he was completely finished.

Lu Yu happened to be nearby and quickly arrived with his team members.

Shunli Supermarket’s products indeed had problems, so Lu Yu directly took away the despairing Yao Jin.

The remaining team members sealed off the Supermarket.

Having gained 40 kilograms of gold and taught Yao Jin a lesson, Jiang Fei was satisfied.

Before leaving, she secretly took out a bottle of electrolyte water from the Supermarket and handed it to Lu Yu, whispering, “Remember to pick one up from Ping An every day starting tomorrow.”

It was hot, and her teammates worked outdoors; she didn’t want them to suffer from heatstroke.

Lu Yu’s eyes curved slightly, and he nodded.

Jiang Fei returned to Ping An Supermarket but froze after opening the door.

Who was this person???
