Chapter 1194 1192: Ma'am, Please Step Aside
"Brother Chen, you're like a pie falling from the sky just for me." Chu Xingyao said with a sly smile.
"You little rascal." Su Chen affectionately tapped Chu Xingyao's nose.
"Study hard, I'll be asking Teacher Ouyang anytime. If your grades ever go down, I'll come over personally to deal with you!" Su Chen pretended to be serious.
"Brother Chen..."
"What's wrong?" Su Chen noticed a sparkle in Chu Xingyao's eyes.
"You're so good to me, besides grandpa, you're the best to me in this world..." Chu Xingyao said quietly, "Xingyao wants to repay you, but I don't know how to..."
"Silly girl, no need to repay, just study hard."
"Brother Chen, do you have a wife?" Chu Xingyao asked earnestly.
Su Chen looked at the girl's bright and charming yet slightly expectant face and was a bit dazed, but eventually replied, "I do."
The girl's face showed intense disappointment.
She originally wanted to say.
"Brother Chen, if you don't have a wife, when I graduate, I'll be your wife..."
But, Su Chen already has a wife.
"Then, Brother Chen, can you close your eyes?" Quickly, the girl collected her expression of desolation.
"Hmm?"
"Please just close them, unless you're afraid Yaoyao will eat you?" Chu Xingyao pouted.
"Alright." Su Chen closed his eyes.
Then, Chu Xingyao stood on tiptoe...
Next, Su Chen felt a sting.
Su Chen opened his eyes.
Only to see the girl turned and left.
"I bit my pie!" The girl said playfully with her back facing Su Chen.
Yet, Su Chen distinctly felt a few drops of crystal falling on his face...
Su Chen sighed gently.
A pie?
Quite a funny nickname indeed.
After saying goodbye to Chu Xingyao.
Su Chen returned to the shantytown, preparing to tell Old Master Chu this news.
As for Li Dazhuang.
It would be best if Li Dazhuang didn't come looking for him.
If he dares to come.
Humph.
Though, as long as Li Dazhuang doesn't want to die, he won't come looking for trouble.
The reason he acted when leaving the Royal No.9.
Was to prevent Li Dazhuang from causing trouble for Chu Xingyao.
Sometimes it's necessary to show some force.
But when Su Chen arrived at the shantytown.
He found the place seemed very lively.
A truck was parked in the shantytown.
People were gathering in one direction.
"What's going on?" Su Chen grabbed a random resident to ask.
"Someone's giving away free clothes! Hurry over, if you're late there won't be any left!"
After saying that, the person rushed over hurriedly.
Su Chen walked over with curiosity.
Soon.
Su Chen saw a familiar figure.
Zhang Shu!
It turns out Zhang Shu had people deliver clothes to shantytown residents.
"Sister Zhang." Su Chen called out.
"Little Chen." Seeing Su Chen, Zhang Shu's slightly worried face relaxed a bit.
Su Chen walked over.
"Sister Zhang, it's so late, you're still delivering clothes, you're truly a good leader of the people." Su Chen joked with a smile.
"Good, my ass, today ran all day, just got these clothes on one truck..." Zhang Shu sighed and shook her head.
A truckload of clothes seemed like a lot.
But considering the shantytown houses ten thousand residents.
Far from enough.
Still better than nothing.
"Oh, Little Zhang is also delivering clothes." At this moment, a mocking voice sounded.
Su Chen turned to see a middle-aged man in his fifties.
"Who's that..." Su Chen asked.
"Same position as me, but knows how to network better, will soon climb over me..." Zhang Shu muttered quietly.
Su Chen looked at the three trucks behind the middle-aged man.
He understood.
Turns out it's Zhang Shu's rival.
Competition exists everywhere.
The same within the system.
(Due to legal stipulation, leadership situations are treated as blurry, everyone knows what it means, no need to be too precise.)
Zhang Shu brought a truck, whereas the other party brought three.
"No snatching, everyone register one by one, as quantity is limited, each person can only take one set, no repeat claims." A rather pretty girl addressed the residents who acted like they were going mad.
No choice, the supplies Zhang Shu gathered this time were limited.
Even one person, one set, was hard to supply.
Thus, registration was enforced.
"Look at the other side, here we have enough clothes, no need to register!" The middle-aged man shouted to the crowd.
"It's three whole trucks, don't need to register!"
"Is it true!"
"Of course it is, I just got mine, hurry, you'll miss it!"
With someone cheering it on.
Swoosh.
People who were originally on the side of Zhang Shu's truck grabbing clothes all swarmed to the other three trucks.
"This snow has been falling for two full days now, there's already a thick accumulation of snow on the ground, to help everyone get through this early winter, our leaders specially applied for supplies and delivered them overnight, this, is the distribution site... This is Jiangdu City's reporter Xiao Na with a live report." A woman in business attire holding a microphone spoke to the camera.
"Now, let's interview these affected citizens."
"Hey uncle, may I ask if the supplies from above are useful to you all?"
"It's so timely, without these supplies, we might have frozen to death..."
"Thank you, leaders..."
"..."
The scene was one of prosperity.
"Isn't this totally putting on a show? Who delivers disaster relief supplies with reporters!" Witnessing this, the door was crowded before, now desolate, Xiao Xiao stomped her foot and said.
But Zhang Shu said indifferently: "As long as it helps the affected citizens, whatever way, it's good."
"But Sister Zhang, if it goes this way, next election, you might..."
"This position is for the capable, if I'm not capable, letting others take over, there's nothing wrong, blame is that I couldn't gather supplies!" Zhang Shu sighed and said.
Su Chen didn't really understand things inside the system.
But from the conversation between Xiao Xiao and Zhang Shu, he guessed.
What's really happening.
And he realized, this matter's impact on Zhang Shu might be significant.
"Hey, catch a sight over here, sis, could you move aside? Don't block us anymore!" A person who seemed like a crew member shouted at Zhang Shu.
The person looked like they were in their early twenties, dressed as an intern.
"What are you shouting for, do you know who she is?" Hearing the person's words, Xiao Xiao stomped her foot in anger.
