Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Not Accepting
Lu Ruisheng was quite impressed upon hearing this, as a soldier’s duty is to protect the masses, but for an ordinary person to sacrifice themselves to save another, such a person with noble inner morality is even more admirable.
He said, “Your son is a person worthy of admiration.”
Wang Lin said, “As a mother, sotis I really wish he hadn’t been a good child, as long as he was alive.”
Gu Pan comforted, “But he did what he thought was right, he is a hero. And besides, there are too many accidents in the apocalypse, so of our friends have also t with misfortune. We had doctors and dicine, but they were all blown away during the tornado, the disabled, the dead, it’s unavoidable, so we can only live well for those who have died.”
Wang Lin sighed deeply, “You’re right, but it’s a pity that at my age, with his physique, under these circumstances, I can’t have another child. I like children, and if it weren’t for my busy career, I really should have had another. But it’s just as well I didn’t, if I had a little girl, she would’ve suffered from such an early age in the apocalypse, it’s even more pitiable.”
Gu Pan also thought the sa, “Yes, it’s hard to say whether living long in the apocalypse is fortunate or unfortunate.”
She was an exception having Space, but what about ordinary people? Were they really happy living in the apocalypse? No one could say for sure.
After talking for a while, they got down to business.
Gu Pan took out all the dicine Cheng Yuan needed, including so for chronic diseases and nutritional supplents—essentially all treatnts for the heart.
Cheng Yuan, looking at these dicines that he used to take frequently, felt relieved by the familiar bottles. He was aware of his condition, that if he stopped taking them, he might not imdiately get sick but would beco progressively weaker.
Although he was also aware that these dicines were past their expiration dates and, if lucky, might help him live a few more years, bad luck could still an death.
But this was his fate, so this was the choice he had to make.
He was very satisfied with these drugs, “Twenty percent of the shares in exchange for these, you won’t regret it.”
Gu Pan said, “You won’t regret it either, these dicines will definitely satisfy you.” After hearing this, Cheng Yuan smiled, “I trust you.” Then he added, “I’ll call the other two shareholders over, let’s get this done today. They’re all here. Only my health is poor; usually, I stay at the base where the hospital is better for my condition, and I’d like to settle down and take care of my illness as soon as possible.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng agreed, since Gu Ci was an acquaintance, there wasn’t much pressure even with one stranger.
Cheng Yuan went out, and Wang Lin started talking to them about the business of the Entertainnt City. She wasn’t involved in the managent, but she knew quite a bit.
Soon, Gu Ci arrived, Cheng Yuan had briefly ntioned the situation to him, and knowing who was involved, he was inwardly not opposed and even sowhat expectant because there were endless possibilities with these two, and now that resources were getting scarcer, he hoped for new blood to be infused.
Not to ntion that now Cheng Yuan was trading his shares for dicine; Gu Ci had already thought about discussing with his two partners about trying out these two newcors, to potentially recruit them to their team. But between the hail and sandstorms, he never found the right mont to bring it up.
Gu Ci was still very much the executive, ticulous even in the apocalypse, his hair impeccably styled.
He shook hands and greeted them warmly, “It’s been a long ti, great to see we’re all still alive.”
In the apocalypse, being alive was probably the best greeting.
After the pleasantries, they all took seats on the sofas, and Gu Ci was the first to speak, “I didn’t expect we’d et again in such a way.”
Gu Pan smiled, “Indeed, we didn’t expect it either.” Then she asked, “How’s the hatching rate of the Breeding Eggs?”
At this, Gu Ci’s smile widened, “Exceptionally good, we got eighteen chicks, and now they’re laying eggs. So can be hatched again, and if things continue this way, in a year, we won’t be short of at and eggs.”
Lu Ruisheng, hearing about the eighteen chicks, also said, “That’s really quite a few, nearly the sa as the hatch rate in the base.”
Gu Ci nodded, “We didn’t expect it, but it turns out the Breeding Eggs are reliable. Frankly, I’m envious of your friends; the value of these things is known to all. You’re willing to sacrifice such fine goods for a friend, and that’s admirable.”
This was also why Gu Ci trusted them; people who were willing to give up such valuable things for a friend were loyal.
“A life-and-death bond, he’s worth it,” Lu Ruisheng said.
Gu Ci looked at them both, “You and Brother Cheng and his wife are quite alike, always loyal, no matter the circumstances. If it wasn’t for Brother Cheng and his wife, I might have starved to death. Back then, it wasn’t about having supplies or not, but saving soone ant taking on too much risk, yet they still saved .”
Gu Pan knew that their ability to cooperate wasn’t just based on friendship. Cheng Yuan had supplies to offer, and it seed Gu Ci also had so resources that were not consumable, which allowed them to collaborate.
But these were personal matters, not sothing she could inquire about now. Maybe, after they started cooperating formally, she would slowly learn more.
Lu Ruisheng said, “We also saved soone worth saving.”
Gu Ci smiled, “That’s true, how’s your friend doing?”
“I haven’t seen him for so ti, he’s in the middle floors of the apartnt complex, so there’s no need to move to the Underground City, but he should be safe,” Lu Ruisheng said.
Now everyone was aware of the connection between the Underground Entertainnt City and theirs, and they understood that these people had extensive knowledge of the base.
“The base’s security is still guaranteed,” Gu Ci comnted, then asked, “Can you still get Breeding Eggs? Price is not an issue, we have plenty of materials for exchange.”
He was already using “we,” as from now on these two would also be their shareholders, one of their own.
Gu Pan was also trying to reassure their own people, “We have so wild ways, we can get so good stuff, and from now on we’re all on the sa team, and I’ll certainly think of our side first.”
Gu Ci laughed, “Good, I’m going to rely on you in the future.”
Lu Ruisheng said, “You flatter us, we’re very lucky to beco your partners.”
Gu Ci replied, “You’re the ones flattering us. What you provided Cheng Yuan, he’s told , you’re really impressive.”
They each recognized the other’s rits, so they were essentially ready to accept each other now.
While they spoke, Cheng Yuan and a strong-looking man entered.
The man ca in with a not-so-pleasant expression.
Seeing the man, Gu Ci stepped forward with a smile, “Great Saint, you don’t seem very happy?”
The man known as Great Saint looked at Gu Ci, “Are you happy?”
Gu Ci still smiled, “I’m happy.”
Great Saint, puzzled, looked at Gu Ci, “Old Gu, what do you an? Anyway, I disagree with this. We clearly have other solutions, materials, money, anything, but when it cos to shares, I don’t agree. I ca to state my position to you.”
