Chapter 275

Looking at the meal on the plate in front of her, Lin Qianhuan was so surprised she couldn’t speak.

“You learned to make this yourself?”

Jiang Xing nodded, “There happened to be a cookbook in the study, and I learned it according to the tutorials. It’s my first time making it, so I’m not very skilled. If it’s not good, just throw it away. I can learn to make it again.”

Lin Qianhuan picked up a sausage toast roll, took a bite, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she gave Jiang Xing a thumbs up.

“Not bad! Delicious!”

The two sat face to face at the dining table until Lin Qianhuan devoured all the love-filled breakfast on the table.

The smile on Jiang Xing’s face gradually deepened, his eyes full of tenderness.

“All I can do for you are these little things. You handle the outside, I handle the inside. I need to be useful somehow, so I won’t be replaced by some wild man outside.”

He carried the dishes into the kitchen, “It’s called crisis awareness.”

Lin Qianhuan was amused by his serious appearance and smiled helplessly.

“Do you want to come with me? I’m planning to go to the trading area to hire a construction team. The walls and windows at home need to be modified and replaced. It’s definitely not enough with just the two of us.”

Wiping the water droplets from his hands, Jiang Xing quickly changed his clothes and followed her out. After putting on sun hats, they set off towards the trading area.

The number of people they encountered along the way was significantly less. Even those who were present were wrapped up tightly, not daring to expose any skin, no matter how hot it was.

Covered in sweat, the two finally arrived at the trading area.

After registering at the window, Lin Qianhuan found an open space and set up a small table with the recruitment requirements displayed.

[Now hiring 15 construction workers, 50 first-level crystal cores per day, including lunch.]

The conditions she offered were very good, and quickly attracted many survivors who came to apply.

Dozens of people crowded around the table, clamoring to register, unwilling to miss this good opportunity.

Lin Qianhuan frowned. Among these people, there were old and young, and she could easily pick out many who were just trying to get by. Clearly, they didn’t know how to do bricklaying, carpentry, or unloading, but they insisted on registering.

Looking at the surging crowd in front of her, Lin Qianhuan impatiently raised her hand and slammed the table hard.

“Let’s get the ugly truth out first, I only want real skilled construction workers. If anyone fakes it, lies about their true skills to deceive me, then don’t blame me for sending you directly to the Security Bureau for a jail sentence. And the crystal cores and meals you get from me, you’ll have to pay back double. Understand?”

Seeing Lin Qianhuan’s serious expression, many applicants backed down. They just wanted to get a meal, but they didn’t want to get themselves into trouble.

Nowadays, it’s hot, and finding a good job is even more difficult. Even if the opportunity is rare, they have to see if they have the ability to bear the consequences.

In an instant, more than half of the people in line to register disappeared, leaving only thirty or so people still standing in front of the table waiting.

“I don’t need that many people, only hiring fifteen. If you don’t mind, you can briefly introduce your work history and experience. After all, I’m not hiring people to eat for free, the quality must be guaranteed.”

Another ten minutes passed, and Lin Qianhuan finally settled on 15 workers.

She looked down at the time, it was already 9 a.m.

“Do you all have time? I hope to finish as soon as possible, preferably come with me now.”

After getting an affirmative answer, Lin Qianhuan was not stingy, paying for the workers’ fares. The group took a sightseeing bus and arrived at Silver Bay Gardens.

After registering, Lin Qianhuan successfully brought the group to Villa 36HUAN.

Along the way, she could hear their suppressed exclamations and envy.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary survivors, clean water and electricity are scarce resources, and greenery is something they haven’t seen in a long time.

But the flowers in the Silver Bay Gardens flowerbeds were blooming in competition, and the soil was slightly moist, obviously being watered regularly. Air conditioner units were hanging outside the windows of every household, buzzing and blowing out hot air, enough to show how cool it was inside.

“Hello boss, what is our job?”

A thin, dark man mustered his courage, stepped forward, and asked cautiously.

Lin Qianhuan responded: “Help me add a 5-meter-high wall, and the doors and windows also need to be replaced. I hope to finish as soon as possible, so it’s best if you all are efficient. As long as you are willing to work hard, I will never treat you unfairly.”

Hearing Lin Qianhuan say this, the workers’ hanging hearts were relieved, and there was a bit more smile on their faces.

Arriving in front of Villa 36HUAN, Lin Qianhuan took out various construction tools from the space, neatly arranged in the corner.

“Let’s take down the walls and gates first. If you need any tools, just ask me.”

“Okay.”

Lin Qianhuan pondered for a moment, and took out sunshades from the space and placed them around the villa.

The temperature was too high, and the weather was too hot. If she wasn’t willing to provide these workers with this most basic protection, they probably wouldn’t be able to work for long before fainting.

Not only would it delay progress, but it would also cause her more trouble.

Seeing that Lin Qianhuan actually helped them set up sunshades, the workers standing in the shade looked at each other, their eyes faintly carrying some disbelief.

They usually just relied on their skills to make a living, and employers never treated them like people. Even if they were hot to death, they had to rush the work.

Being treated like human beings for the first time, they felt a little sad, and the gaze they gave to Lin Qianhuan also had a bit more gratitude.
