Chapter 21 Old Man Chen’s Background

The old man urged Shen Ruoran to take it quickly. He was going to divide the food among one person. Everyone was still hungry and needed to eat early.

Seeing that Shen Ruoran didn't respond for a long time, the old man simply threw the cake into her lap and said angrily, "The bitten cake will not be given to you every day. It's fair here and we take turns."

Turn around and pass the rest to others.

The others took the cake and stuffed it into their mouths immediately.

Those who have strong self-control will save some for lunch.People with weak self-control will eat all at once in the morning and then wait hungry for tomorrow.

While others were eating gluttonously, Shen Ruoran endured her disgust and picked up the cake through her sleeves. She found a wall to block other people's view and secretly put the cake into the space. Then she would find an opportunity to give it to Huang Xiaoya, as her Reward for obedience.

She wouldn't touch something someone else had bitten.

A few minutes later, Shen Ruoran found an open space to sit and observe everyone's movements.

In order to conserve physical strength and reduce hunger, people on this floor sit or lie down in place.

Except for Cai Juanhua, the aunt seemed unable to bear the quiet atmosphere and kept looking for topics to talk to herself.

Soon, her attention came to Shen Ruoran.

"Newcomer, what did you do upstairs before?" Cai Juanhua raised her voice, walked to sit next to Shen Ruoran, stretched out her dark hand, and wanted to touch Shen Ruoran's fair skin.

Shen Ruoran took two steps back uncomfortably and escaped.

She has not forgotten how Cai Juanhua humiliated her yesterday.

He frowned and said, "You said working for gangsters is not a good thing, right? So why should I tell you?"

Cai Juanhua laughed a few times, not feeling embarrassed at all, and smoothed things over by herself:
"Oh, you have to know everything when you come to live with us on the 14th floor, right? We need to get along well in the future. You are a girl, be more generous and share things that need to be shared."

These words made Shen Ruoran's head buzz again. Even though Cai Juanhua was old, she still understood intersex people very well.

Although she said it while laughing, she was actually accusing Shen Ruoran of being stingy. If she didn't say it today, it would be because she didn't want to get along with the people on the 14th floor.

The sin is huge.

Shen Ruoran "hummed" and walked to sit behind one of the load-bearing walls, not wanting to see Cai Juanhua's ordinary citizen face.

She put her hands on her knees, wondering whether her next move would be to stay undercover or just sail away.

There are more than 13 pieces of men's clothing collected from the 14th and 7th floors, enough to be purchased by future male employees of the building.

As for women's clothing, the current space that needs to be stocked is clothing for the elderly and children's clothing. Adult women, regardless of whether they are fat or thin, have all sizes.

"All-round farmer" Lai Yecheng...

Shen Ruoran recited the name silently in her heart. She had already missed Lu Chuan, who was worth 500 points of wealth. Moreover, in the past few days, the portraits of some industry leaders on the map had dimmed one after another, and the numerical values ​​above their heads had also disappeared. It should be He encountered an accident and left this world completely.

Lai Yecheng still lives in this building. If she leaves now, she may not have a chance to see him next time.

It is known that the building can be upgraded, and special talents have high-value chips, which will speed up the upgrade process.

Shen Ruoran decided to stay for another three days. She would definitely find Lai Yecheng within three days and take him away to see if she could use his 150 points of wealth to complete the first upgrade of the 31-story building.

"The flood seems to have reached the sixth floor..." Tu Zhouzhou muttered absently, his face pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window glass.Old man Chen walked over, looked down, and sighed heavily:
"Am I really going to drown with my old bones?"

More and more people came to the windows and looked pessimistically at the dark sky and the never-ending rainstorm.

Cai Juanhua knelt on the ground, slapped her thigh hard, scolded and cried, as if she was remembering an old friend.

She spoke the dialect of her hometown and kept mumbling the same person's name.

Shen Ruoran, who was resting alone on the other side, trembled with his closed eyelashes and did not get up to look at the French window opposite.

Three more hours later, the screams from downstairs almost shattered my eardrums.

Tu Zhouzhou immediately thought of the bad possibility and rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes dull, "It's 7...7th floor."

Whether they were men or women, they all collapsed on the ground.

In the beginning, it took an average of 1.5 days to cover one floor. Now, in just half a day, the entire sixth floor has been destroyed.

According to this calculation, the 14th floor will no longer exist by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Huang Xiaoya hugged Liu Yun with both hands and was frightened to tears by everyone's atmosphere.

On their right, Zhu Kai hugged his head and cried. A man in his 40s cried louder than anyone else.

After he was tired of crying, he moved to Old Chen and hugged his calf pleadingly, "Old Chen, please save us. You must have a way, right?"

Old Chen sighed helplessly, not daring to look directly at Zhu Kai. He slowly bent down, opened his tightly grasped fingers, hunched his waist, and walked to the wall step by step. Facing the blank wall, there was no Say a word.

The other people on this floor, like Zhu Kai, were all staring at Old Man Chen.

The eyes were sad and desperate.

Place your only hope in the oldest person.

Shen Ruoran has long seen that Old Chen's identity is unusual, including what Huang Xiaoya said yesterday, which is enough to prove that the old man has a label in the gangster's mind that he cannot be offended.

Shen Ruoran felt that the story of this building might be more interesting than her quick time travel experience, so she could dig deeper into it. She quite liked listening to gossip.

She saw the opportunity to make a joke, "Why are you making things difficult for an old man? This building is dominated by the weak and the strong, and strength is the criterion for survival."

Someone immediately retorted to Shen Ruoran, "You're a newcomer, what do you know? Mr. Chen's son works at the Capital Research Institute. If it weren't for the equipment he sent, there would be no white cakes sent upstairs every day, otherwise they would have become moldy long ago. "

One more thing to stock up on.

Shen Ruoran added it to the supplies list, pretended to be curious, and continued to ask: "Then why is Mr. Chen crowded with us on the 14th floor? What is the use of that equipment? The food upstairs must be better than us. Since it is It’s Mr. Chen’s stuff, so why can’t the 14th floor use it for a while?”

Shen Ruoran asked too many questions at once, and the person who originally rebutted hesitated for fear of saying the wrong thing and offending others.

Old Man Chen saw that he had become the center of the topic for no reason, so he took this opportunity to express his attitude. His voice was full of vicissitudes of life, and he said slowly:
"My son is a researcher in the capital, but I'm not."

"The gangsters' fear of me is limited. If the rainstorm doesn't end, and if something happens to my son in the capital, then I will be a useless person in their eyes, so there is no need to expect me to negotiate any terms. The old man doesn't have that ability."
