Novel Bin Chapter 5 Beautiful Neighbors
About half an hour later, a large amount of takeout was delivered to David's home. The whole room was filled with the smell of food, from fried chicken and roasted duck to braised meat and roasted pig's feet... The living room was almost completely filled with food.
After the delivery person left, David began to put the food into storage space while it was still hot. He first put the one hundred servings of fried chicken into storage, and in an instant, one hundred servings became ten million.
This critical strike ratio made David ecstatic, and he then put all the other food into storage. For the next period of time, David was happily busy.
Takeout from various restaurants kept being delivered to him. David watched as these tempting delicacies were continuously placed into storage, feeling very pleased. After all, in the end of days, where would there be a chance to eat such food? Even the leaders of small bases in the apocalypse would have to eat spoiled and sour food during difficult times.
As for delicacies, only the top powerhouses had the qualifications to enjoy them. With this hoard of delicacies, David was enjoying life while others were struggling to survive in the apocalypse.
Just as David was busy, a call suddenly came in. David looked at the caller ID and saw that it was the company's general manager, Bill. David frowned but still answered the phone.
"Hello! David, you have been absent for three days. According to the rules and regulations, you are considered to have automatically resigned, and the company does not need to compensate you. You don't need to come back in the future."
David chuckled when he heard this. No wonder no one had contacted him in the past three days. It turned out that this was their plan. Bill was David's immediate superior, but he had only gotten his position as general manager through his connections with the company's higher-ups. He was an air-dropped general manager.
Normally, Bill would boss around his subordinates, even though he didn't understand the company's business. However, this didn't affect him from pointing and instructing his subordinates every day. David happened to be the type who didn't like to be disciplined, and he never let Bill have his way. He figured that being fired wouldn't be a big deal anyway.
Bill had been displeased with David for a long time, and he finally found an opportunity. David found Bill's condescending tone a bit funny. Bill was just a small leader in the company, and his proud general manager status meant nothing in the apocalypse.
Whether this kind of person can survive for three days in the apocalypse is a question, and David was too lazy to argue with him. So he hung up the phone directly and added Bill's number to the blacklist in one go.The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
About two hours later, all the takeaway food was delivered, and David's storage space was already full of all kinds of delicacies. Only then did he take out some food and enjoy a hearty lunch.
In the afternoon, David didn't have much to do. The supplies he ordered would arrive at his warehouse in two or three days. But David didn't plan to just idle around, he went out after lunch and took a taxi to the largest supermarket in the city: Love Home Supermarket.
This is a high-end supermarket that takes a boutique route. Although the food and some products here are more expensive than ordinary supermarkets, the variety of goods is abundant, and the quality is guaranteed. David planned to go on a shopping spree in the supermarket. Items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, shower gel, shampoo, soap... although they are not essential for survival, they can greatly improve the quality of life.
In Love Home Supermarket, Sally was wandering aimlessly. Her figure attracted the attention of many men around her. Although she was wearing a simple and loose casual outfit, she couldn't hide her curvy body.
Not only is Sally tall and has a perfect figure, but she also looks like a professional model at first glance. Her slender and straight legs are thought-provoking, plus a beautiful and delicate face, making the men around her look at her frequently. Sally has long been accustomed to these attention, and she automatically blocked out these gazes, shopping by herself.
Suddenly, Sally saw a familiar figure, and her originally calm expression changed slightly. "Is it him?" The familiar figure in front of Sally was David. At this time, David was pushing a shopping cart filled with all kinds of goods, squeezing the cart full.
David noticed that Sally was staring at him and was slightly stunned. Sally smiled at him friendly, and David also politely smiled and nodded at Sally. Sally was about to approach David to talk, but David had already turned and left.
He seemed to be very busy, constantly putting goods from the supermarket shelves into his own shopping cart. Sally was stunned. "Did he not recognize me?" Sally is David's neighbor, and they live across the hall from each other.
In the city's indifference, even neighbors may not know each other's names after living for more than ten years. That's how Sally and David were at the beginning, strangers to each other, and they wouldn't even say hello when they occasionally met in the hallway.
One day, David suddenly knocked on Sally's door. He told Sally through the door that she had left her key in the lock and forgotten to take it out. It was already around ten o'clock at night, and Sally became wary, thinking that he might have some bad intentions and want to trick her into opening the door. So Sally refused to open the door.
David felt a little helpless and went back home on his own. Sally saw David return to his own door and close it through the peephole, so she opened her door half-doubtingly. As a result, she did find her key still in the lock.
Sally was scared for a while and realized how lucky she was that David had reminded her. If someone with malicious intentions had found her key, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
At the same time, Sally felt guilty. David had kindly reminded her, but she thought he had ulterior motives and didn't even say thank you. After this incident, Sally had a good impression of David. Not only was he a person of good character, but he also looked quite handsome.
She added David as a friend on WeChat in the homeowner group, but after a few simple chats, David didn't say much. Sally had always wanted to thank David in person and apologize to him, but she didn't know how to approach him. Unexpectedly, she met him in the supermarket today.
She thought it was a good opportunity, but David just nodded at her and turned to leave. Sally felt a little inexplicably disappointed
Sally felt complex emotions at the moment and wondered, "Could it be that I offended him with my previous reaction?" In fact, David had recognized Sally, as it's hard for men to forget a beauty like her after just one glance. However, David was busy hoarding supplies and had no time to chat with her now.
