Chapter 193: Chapter 193: It Feels So Good to Have Friends by Your Side Chapter 193: Chapter 193: It Feels So Good to Have Friends by Your Side Although contribution points aren’t the sa as money and don’t have as much impact on banks as large deposits did before the apocalypse, those who can save up these points are by no ans ordinary people. No one wants to offend them, and making connections always has its benefits, never drawbacks.
Gu Pan noticed that, no matter the ti, the wealthy always receive preferential treatnt; with money, all needs are t.
After finishing up, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went to the used vehicle market. The motorcycle was still there, and Gu Pan bought it on the spot.
The manager was a crafty one. Seeing them co in, he hid, letting another salesperson handle the sale. That way, he could claim ignorance and avoid offending anyone.
However, Gu Pan realized that, with more people now, having just a motorcycle could be inconvenient. Since the motorcycle was rely for her husband’s enjoynt, she also decided to purchase a fuel-efficient sedan. Their new villa had a garage, so owning these vehicles suited their current status.
While purchasing the car, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng rembered sothing about that Ruiming. They still hadn’t figured out if Ruiming’s uncle was the Base Commander or the Deputy Base Commander, or even what his surna was.
Although it wasn’t important, Gu Pan did indeed want to find ti to ask. As a Base Commander, did he know about this type of nephew?
It wasn’t urgent anyway. That Ruiming likely wouldn’t stay quiet, so next ti they could just grab him and confront him at his uncle’s ho. They didn’t believe that the Base Commander, even for the sake of public fairness, wouldn’t give them an explanation.
To be honest, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t have a very high opinion of a Base Commander who would indulge such a nephew. After all, there were four other contenders; he shouldn’t expect to sit comfortably in that position.
After buying the cars, Gu Pan decided to go shopping for necessities at the departnt store, considering the villa wasn’t fully equipped yet.
Of course, she could also take this opportunity to bring so things out of her Space and place them in the new house.
That way, when friends visited, they wouldn’t know what was there before and what was newly purchased, which would prevent them from suspecting the origins of the items.
After discussing, the two went straight to the departnt store. With money and a car at their disposal, they bought whatever caught their eye, starting from the first counter.
Once their hands and pockets were full, they went out to store the items in the car and then returned to continue shopping.
They ca to the bedding counter they had visited last ti, where the sa salesperson was chatting on the side instead of attending to custors. Two people were already waiting at the counter.
Seeing Gu Pan and her company, the two custors quietly complained, “This employee is really frustrating, they’ve been talking for ten minutes already, and she doesn’t respond to our calls.”
Gu Pan felt nauseated looking at her, but didn’t want to waste ti arguing; after all, she lacked for nothing. Shopping was just for show, so she simply skipped that counter and went to the next one with Lu Ruisheng to make their purchases.
Of course, Gu Pan didn’t plan to let it go so easily. Once she got back, she intended to write a letter to the base leadership, complaining about the salesperson to see just how fair the base really was. She mostly encountered decent folks, but there were still pests around, and she didn’t mind doing a good deed by reporting this one.
Getting rid of the salesperson wouldn’t be hard, especially now that they had powerful backing.
They bought lots of stuff and loaded the car before heading to the fresh market to buy so food.
Essentially, they visited wherever they could buy things to divert attention.
Afterward, Gu Pan drove while Lu Ruisheng rode the motorcycle back to the villa.
The villa was now truly their ho, and they drove straight in—its yard was spacious enough.
Once inside, they moved all their belongings into the living room. They tore off the shabby cloth coverings from furniture, took out a vacuum cleaner from the Space, and went over the house, including inside the cabinets.
Speaking of which, there wasn’t much furniture: the master bedroom had a bed and a wardrobe; the secondary bedroom just had a bed, with no cabinets.
The guest bedroom was completely empty.
There was a desk, a chair, and a simple bookshelf in the study—and yes, it was very simple and small.
The bathroom only had a basin and a toilet.
Moreover, all the rooms had cent floors with no tiles laid.
The only appliances were lights—uniform energy-saving LED bulbs.
It was genuinely simple, which also made tidying up easy.
Then they opened all the windows to air out the place.
Since they didn’t like using old beds, they went upstairs, removed the old bed from the master bedroom, and put it into Space, replacing it with a new bed and new mattress.
They were not in a hurry to replace other old items; changing everything all at once would seem odd.
Later, Gu Pan took out a lot of fabric from the Space and placed it on the shelves. When friends would visit, they wouldn’t know when she had purchased it. She planned to make curtains when she had idle ti.
Then they went up and down stairs fetching things they needed from the Space, quickly enriching the villa’s interior.
After getting things more or less in order, they drove back to their apartnt building.
Upon returning upstairs to their apartnt, Feng Zhekai and the others had finished with their base registration and after showering, Lu Xuerong was trimming Cheng Yang’s hair.
Cheng Yang turned his head excitedly upon their return, followed by an ‘ouch.’
Lu Xuerong also let out a yelp, “Oh no, I cut the ear.”
Feng Zhekai hurried over to check, “No worries, it’s just a little skin break.”
Gu Pan quickly fetched the first aid kit.
Feng Zhekai disinfected the wound and stuck on a band-aid.
Observing Cheng Yang, Lu Ruisheng couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s fine, it won’t affect your looks.”
With that, everyone chuckled again.
Feng Zhekai’s freshly cut hair had a missing bit at the temple. Although the hairstyle was sowhat ugly, it did look clean and neat, which wasn’t so bad.
He asked Lu Ruisheng, “Did everything at the villa get sorted out?”
Lu Ruisheng nodded, “All set. We also bought a car, and later we’ll all go take a look at the villa together.”
Lu Xuerong had just finished tidying up Cheng Yang’s hair.
Everyone changed into clean clothes, and since it was almost noon, Gu Pan started preparing lunch.
She planned to treat her friends to a hotpot dinner at her ho in the evening, so for lunch, they just made do with so self-heating als.
After lunch, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng packed their personal belongings and the current bedding. The rest they left behind for the others.
Before leaving, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng made a trip to the kitchen and took down two bags of dried vegetables and jerky, as well as half a bag of rice, from above the cabinets.
Of course, while it looked like they were taking items from the kitchen, these provisions actually ca from the Space. These nutrients, unavailable at the base, were fundantal to their survival during the apocalypse, so they had to have a plausible explanation for where they got them—they had to claim they were brought in from outside and hidden away.
Gu Pan also left a portion for Feng Zhekai and the rest, taking the rest with them.
