Chapter 28: 028 Even thought of the fact that he has no underwear to wear
The straightforward lifeguard took the tote bag, all smiles,
“Okay, you’re really good to our boss, even remembering to get him underwear when he’s got none.”
Hua Mi: “…”
She paused for a moment, slapped her thigh, and exclaimed,
“If Boss Gong didn’t have any underwear to wear, you should have told me earlier. I would have brought him dozens more.”
When Chi Chuan appeared again in the market area, Hua Mi grabbed the back of his collar.
He turned around to greet Hua Mi, only to hear her excitedly say,
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
“Do you still have any men’s underwear? This business is booming. The men’s underwear I bought from you yesterday sold out today.”
Chi Chuan looked at Hua Mi in surprise, wondering why he couldn’t sell even a single pair.
He glanced over at Hua Mi’s stall and exaggeratedly said,
“Wow, Sister Hao, your stall is amazing! Where did you get all this mineral water? What brand…”
He freed himself from Hua Mi holding the back of his collar and walked over to Hua Mi’s stall. Looking at the mineral water bottles, smooth and clear with no labels,
High-end mineral water often doesn’t need any identification!
Amazed by Hua Mi’s capability, Chi Chuan walked around a camper parked by the musical fountain, admiringly muttering,
“This camper is great, I’m going to get one like this too.”
“Don’t talk about all that nonsense now, do you still have any men’s underwear? Let me tell you, it’s a highly profitable product. In just a few hours, I sold out all the men’s underwear, which shows that there’s a huge demand for it.”
Hua Mi rattled on.
Chi Chuan shook his head repeatedly, pointing to the truck he had driven over,
“My friend’s warehouse is out of men’s underwear. However, another friend of mine wants to stock up on some water. A serious earthquake has occurred next door in Xiang City, half the city is gone.”
That’s why those involved in buying and selling were considering gathering some supplies to sell in the neighboring city.
If Hua Mi had extra water, Chi Chuan would take some.
“The situation is like this. All the focus is on Xiang City so resources are being directed there. Who would have thought that the neighboring city would also start shaking? There will definitely be a shortage of resources and water is indispensable.”
Chi Chuan looked at Hua Mi, who had one hand on the shelf and the other on her hip, her expression unreadable.
So Chi Chuan thought for a bit, then said sincerely,
“I’m not trying to sound morally bankrupt by saying this. Everyone has to eat, and we happen to make our living buying and selling goods. Of course, since the neighboring city suffered from a disaster, I’d donate money and resources. I would also contribute my compassion. I have family to care for, and all I can do is not to sell the mineral water at sky-high prices…”
“That’s enough, no need to explain.”
Hua Mi cut him off with a wave of her hand, smiling slyly,
“As long as money is still worth something, it doesn’t hurt for you to earn a bit more.”
After all, it wouldn’t be long before money turned into mere paper, or just a string of digits lying in a cellphone.
While order still existed, money could buy the desired goods. Once order vanished, getting what one needed would only be possible through theft.
It’s the trend of the times, and morality shouldn’t be used to blackmail anyone.
Relieved at being understood, Chi Chuan took a deep breath, fearing he’d encounter those hypocritical people who might accuse him of capitalizing on the disaster.
Fortunately, Hua Mi wasn’t that kind of person.
She generously asked Chi Chuan, “How much mineral water do you want to order?”
“Hmm… 100,000 bottles, do you have that many?”
Chi Chuan still conservatively reported a number.
“Yes, I’ll have someone deliver them.”
While speaking, Hua Mi took out her cell phone and called Ah Fu, asking him to drive the empty truck to the ruins.
She also told Chi Chuan to go to the ruins in the afternoon to pick up the water.
Ah Fu’s truck definitely couldn’t fit 100,000 bottles of mineral water; calling Ah Fu’s big vehicle was just to deceive people, proving she still had a means of transportation to bring water into Xiang City from other places.
This morning, while roaming the ruins, Hua Mi discovered that although her neighborhood had collapsed, half of the underground garage there was still intact.
The exit of the underground garage was right beside Hua Mi’s supermarket.
She then used this underground garage as a temporary warehouse—the 100,000 bottles of mineral water Chi Chuan wanted were all stored there. She just let Chi Chuan and his friends who came later handle the moving.
After arranging everything, Hua Mi placed two payment QR codes and an additional piece of paper on the wall of her secondhand RV, with the note,
“[Stall owner is away, mineral water is self-service, 5 yuan/bottle]”
She didn’t tidy up the things left outside and directly returned to the supermarket in an instant.
The stall owner was not around, and Chi Chuan had left, attracting people to gather around immediately.
Someone pointed at the fully stocked shelves of mineral water,
“Is this stall owner an idiot? So much water left here, and the person is nowhere to be seen.”
Don’t think too highly of people, after all, the constant quaking makes it feel like dancing nonstop.
Not all people are bad, but certainly, not all people are good either.
Someone stepped forward, tentatively took two bottles of mineral water, and turned to leave without scanning the QR code.
However, he hadn’t gone far when he was stopped by a nearby Garrison.
That Garrison was really angry and slapped the water-taker, spinning him around,
“I told you to scan and take the water. Are you blind, or do you think we are?”
Haven’t you seen that in this entire stall area, only Sister Hao’s stall is so flamboyant?
That’s because she trusts their leader, believing that these patrolling Garrisons will watch her stall well.
So taking water without paying was essentially challenging the Garrisons’ surveillance skills. Even though the place was crowded, their peripheral vision was all protecting Sister Hao’s stall.
The man slapped by the Garrison, holding onto two bottles of mineral water, obediently paid 10 yuan and scurried off, cursing under his breath.
Seeing what happened, the rest didn’t dare to take water without paying. Everyone obediently scanned the code, took a few bottles of water, and paid accordingly.
Business at Hua Mi’s stall was booming. After all, although disaster relief supplies were brought into Xiang City daily, resources were limited, and public panic was unlimited.
The donated mineral water had also arrived, just as Cao Feng had said. Today, stalls selling mineral water had already appeared in the city.
But their water was priced at a minimum of 30 yuan per bottle, while Hua Mi was only selling for 5 yuan per bottle.
The price was practically a steal.
Who wouldn’t want to stock up on another bottle of water for just 5 yuan?
Having already flashed back to the supermarket, Hua Mi thought it was fine as long as no major issues arose; some people taking water without paying didn’t matter, just as long as she didn’t catch them herself. After all, her mineral water came from a spring beneath her RV… the cost was merely some diesel.
She never anticipated so many people buying water and that each bottle would be paid for.
It seemed, those Garrisons really took good care of her.
