Chapter 147: An Unexpected Guest
Lu Zhen, his uncles, and his brother took on the task of moving the supplies from the truck to the apartment on the thirtieth floor. Luckily for them, the elevator was still working. Otherwise, having to go up and down so many floors for several trips would kill them half-way.
After carrying the first batch upstairs, Lu Zhen was surprised to see someone he had not expected in his living room.
"We found him waiting at the door and invited him in." Li Yunjia said while placing a cup of freshly squeezed juice on the table for the guest.
"I was just trying my luck when I came to look for you, a man on the ground floor told me you had gone out in the morning, so I decided to wait." The guest informed Lu Zhen and stood up at the same time.
"What brings you here?" Lu Zhen asked as he placed the bundle of clothes he was carrying and waited for his brother to go bring out the shopping carts they had used to transport supplies the previous day.
They had not returned the carts and instead kept them in their house for future use. They had come in handy pretty fast.
"Boss, I came to check how you and your family are doing. I have been worried and since I can now fight those zombies without worrying about getting hurt easily, I decided to come and see you." The guest turned out to be assistant Yao who Lu Zhen had been thinking about.
"How is your mother?" Lu Zhen asked as he took a cart and gave it to Assistant Yao then took another one for himself.
Lu Tao also had his own cart. Seeing the young men pushing the carts out and talking, Uncle Li didn’t want to join the fun and went to the kitchen to see what she could make with the leftovers for lunch.
The three youngsters headed to the ground floor alone.
"My mother is doing well, thanks to the boss suggesting that I bring my mother here. She was saved. I can’t contact the village anymore and don’t know the situation there, but I have peace of mind." Assistant Yao replied with a gratified smile.
He was glad he had a boss who had foresight and who cared about his employees. He still remembered how the boss had ordered him to announce a three-day off for all employees of their company with a bonus of a hundred thousand for them to buy food and drinks.
