340 I’m Here to Pay Back the Money
Du Yue touched her chin with her fair fingers and thought about it seriously for a while. “Then let’s get the best one.” It would be a waste to get one with average effects.
He Xing had always supported Du Yue’s idea, but there was something he had to say first. “If we exchange the nutrition chamber, we can’t let Brother Wan use it. It won’t do us any good. You know that, right?” When He Xing said this, his expression was serious and his tone was unquestionable.
Du Yue nodded. “Of course, I know. Don’t worry.”
It was not that the two of them were reluctant to lend Wan Dapeng the good stuff, but this thing could not be produced with the current technology of the blue planet. Dong Yubo and Young Master Wang’s fight for the nutrition chamber was still fresh in their minds. If others knew that Du Yue and He Xing had a nutrition chamber, they would end up like Qing Ju.
At the mention of Qing Ju, Du Yue could not help but sigh. “Do you think that every base has someone from the interstellar?”
Du Yue did not have such a thought before, but the first base had that contractor, and the second base had the celestial lord. Now, the third base had Qing Ju. If this was a coincidence, then it was a little too much of a coincidence.
Du Yue looked at He Xing. “You’re from the first base. Should I count you in?”
He Xing shook his head. “To be precise, I’m not from the first base. I was there because you were there.”
Hearing He Xing’s answer, Du Yue was even more certain of her thoughts. “If that’s the case, then every base has an interstellar person.”
Before the apocalypse, she did not visit every province in her country. Now that the apocalypse had arrived, she could visit every place because of these people from the interstellar. Including He Xing, Du Yue knew about four interstellar people.
Among them, only Qing Ju was a woman, and she was a woman who had been captured…
“Should we interfere with Qing Ju’s matter?” Du Yue asked He Xing.
He Xing shook his head decisively. “No, it has nothing to do with us anyway.”
Du Yue thought so too. She did not like to meddle in other people’s business. Since the two of them had the same thought, there was nothing else to say.
After resting at home for the night, the next morning, the two of them drove to the restaurant with pots and pans as usual. They entered the shop and started cleaning up. Just then, someone pushed the door open and walked in.
“Why weren’t you open yesterday? Yesterday, a few customers came to look for you for dinner. They waited for a long time before leaving. Yesterday afternoon, a group of people came to look for you. They came again this morning and have been waiting for you at the entrance of the shop!”
Du Yue turned her head and saw the owner of the grocery store next door. He Xing smiled at him. “Something happened at home yesterday.”
The owner of the grocery store looked out a few times, then said very carefully, “The people who came yesterday afternoon are the same group of people who came this morning. They’re the group of people who came to collect the hygiene fees previously. Even if they don’t see you, they definitely won’t let it go. You’d better be careful! Say, why don’t you just pay them the protection fee? If they come and cause trouble every day, will you still be able to do business?”
He Xing knew that the grocery store owner said this to him out of kindness, so he smiled and responded.
The grocery store owner had already given them a reminder, so he could not say anything more. Seeing that Du Yue and He Xing were busy, he decided to leave. “I’ll leave first, then. You guys go ahead!”
Not long after the grocery store owner left, the people who collected protection fees came. They came so quickly that Du Yue even suspected that they had been waiting nearby all along.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw two people standing at the door. One of them turned around and left. The other person went up to them and smiled ingratiatingly. “Young Master Wang instructed us to wait for you here. The moment you open the door, we have to go and inform him. He’ll be here soon.”
Du Yue nodded after listening. Her guess was right.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, a car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. The person who got out of the car was none other than Young Master Wang. Compared to yesterday’s disheveled appearance, Young Master Wang was dressed very neatly today. “You’ve finally opened your shop. I’m here to give you contribution points.”
He Xing did not stand on ceremony with him. He took the identity card from him and directly swiped the contribution points on the card machine. The contribution points that Young Master Wang owed had been paid off. He Xing nodded at him. “We’re even now. You can leave.”
“Wait a minute!” Young Master Wang found a chair and sat down. “I heard that the food in your restaurant is very delicious. Today, I brought my brothers here to try your cooking. You guys only sell ten servings of each dish a day, right? I want them all! Go, call the brothers in for a meal!”
The person at the door heard the order and quickly turned around to leave.
