The person on the other end of the line was extremely excited: "Ms. Ye, you are simply our VIP of the year!"
Ye Nanxing gave a casual "mm-hmm," hung up the phone, and continued placing orders.

Total price: 7 million!
In war-torn regions or extreme environments, these supplies are invaluable!
After all the orders were confirmed, Ye Nanxing let out a soft sigh.
She leaned back against the spacious armchair in the hotel and gently rubbed her temples.
From morning until now, she hadn't closed her eyes for over ten hours, constantly placing orders and purchasing supplies.
Ye Nanxing looked up at the window and realized that it had already grown completely dark outside.
Outside, neon lights flickered and the streets were bustling with traffic; everything looked so prosperous and peaceful.
But Ye Nanxing knew clearly in her heart that days like these were numbered...
She slowly exhaled and was just about to get up to take a shower when her phone rang at an inopportune moment!
"Buzz buzz—"
She frowned and looked down.
On the screen, a familiar and detestable name was flashing—Zhou Yixuan.
Heh, he still dared to call?
A trace of coldness flashed in Ye Nanxing's eyes, and she picked up the call, her tone indifferent.
"What is it?"
On the other end of the line, Zhou Yixuan's voice carried a hint of probing and ingratiation.
"Nanxing... can we meet?"
Ye Nanxing sneered.
"Meet? What for?"
Zhou Yixuan was silent for a moment, then sighed, his tone adopting a submissive posture.
"Nanxing, I know what happened before was my fault, but... I truly regret it."
"That woman Zhao Yuanyuan is nothing but a scheming bitch; she was flirting with other men behind my back! I only realize now that you are the best one..."
Ye Nanxing listened coldly, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
"Oh? So, are you trying to come back to me now?"
Zhou Yixuan hurriedly said.
"No! Nanxing, I truly want to start over with you!"
"Do you still remember the days we were together? You loved sleeping in on weekend mornings, and I would buy you your favorite crab roe buns and soy milk... And when you were sick, I stayed with you all night..."
"Can we really not go back to the past?"
His voice was filled with nostalgia and remorse, as if he were truly repenting for his past mistakes.
Unfortunately, Ye Nanxing was no longer that naive girl from before.
She scoffed and said coldly.
"Zhou Yixuan, stop putting on this dramatic performance of deep affection. You're only looking for me because Zhao Yuanyuan doesn't want you anymore, and you're desperate to find a backup."
Zhou Yixuan was instantly speechless on the other end of the line.
Ye Nanxing's tone turned completely cold.
"Let me tell you, I, Ye Nanxing, am not a recycling bin, and I will certainly not be your fallback option."
"And one more thing..."
She paused, her voice lowering slowly with a sharp warning.
"You had better pray that no one finds out about the things you've been doing behind everyone's backs."
Zhou Yixuan's breathing hitched abruptly.
"W-what do you mean?"
Ye Nanxing couldn't be bothered to waste words and hung up the phone directly.
Her time was not worth wasting on such a scumbag!
After hanging up, Ye Nanxing slowly walked to the desk and opened her laptop.
The screen lit up, reflecting her cold and calm face.
With a light click of the mouse, a hidden folder opened, containing things she had "accidentally" found on Zhou Yixuan's computer back in the day—
Back when she hadn't broken up with Zhou Yixuan yet, she had noticed some suspicious files on his computer and made a backup, never expecting them to come in handy today.
A slight smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, a glimmer of mockery flashing in her eyes.
"Zhou Yixuan, didn't you want to come back to me?"
"Then go ahead and taste what it means to reap what you sow."
"Send."
[Email successfully delivered!]
Ye Nanxing smiled faintly, closed the laptop, picked up her phone, and blocked Zhou Yixuan's number.
From this moment on, Zhou Yixuan's career was completely over!
She let out a soft breath, then walked to the bathroom to take a leisurely bath.
After her bath, Ye Nanxing changed into dry clothes, sat on the bed, and with a thought, her consciousness entered the space.
At this moment, in the vast space, the supplies had piled up to the scale of a real "warehouse"!
The supplies were abundant and complete, enough to support a small base for several years!
Ye Nanxing nodded with satisfaction, but she still felt too tired; after several days of rushing around for purchases, her mind had been constantly on high alert.
She walked to the spiritual spring pool in the center of the space and looked down at the water.
The clear spring water shimmered with a faint luster and carried a refreshing fragrance.
Ye Nanxing gently cupped some in her hands and took a sip—
Instantly, a cool, warm current spread through her body, and her fatigue was swept away!
She was slightly stunned, then narrowed her eyes.
The spiritual spring could not only promote plant growth but also quickly restore stamina?
She took a deep breath and tried drinking two more sips; sure enough, her originally heavy body became light, and even her mental state improved significantly!
"This thing... is more effective than any supplement."
She was delighted and immediately took a bottle, planning to drink it every day.
This was simply a god-tier cheat in the Apocalypse!
After organizing the supplies, Ye Nanxing changed into casual wear, left the hotel, and planned to go out for a good meal.
There happened to be a food street near the hotel, bustling with life, with all kinds of restaurants, snack shops, and barbecue stalls.
She walked into a long-established Hunan restaurant, opened the menu, and casually ordered a huge pile of dishes—
Steamed fish head with chopped chili, dry-pot bullfrog, spicy crayfish, steamed cured meats, sticky rice ribs...
The waiter looked at her with some surprise: "Miss, are you dining alone? This portion is a bit large..."
Ye Nanxing smiled faintly.
"It's fine, I'll pack up what I can't finish."
Of course she couldn't finish it, but she could hoard it!
The dishes were served one after another, the aroma wafting everywhere, each one looking delicious.
Ye Nanxing ate a few bites elegantly, then called the waiter over.
The waiter looked at Ye Nanxing, who hadn't eaten much, and asked cautiously.
"Miss, is there something wrong with the food?"
Ye Nanxing shook her head and said in a calm tone.
"Please help me pack up the remaining dishes."
"The food is delicious. I'd like to ask, does your restaurant accept bulk orders?"
The waiter blinked and nodded subconsciously.
"Yes, we can. Miss, how much do you need?"
