"Yuanyuan, you're back!" As soon as Chen Yuanyuan stepped out of the elevator, Zhang Linlin walked to the aisle and called to Yuanyuan.
"Linlin, what's wrong?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"Let's go and sit at your house." Zhang Linlin took Chen Yuanyuan's hand to room 1203.
"Yuanyuan, it's been raining all day today. Although the rain is not heavy, as you said, it started to rain as soon as Labor Day comes..." Zhang Linlin looked out the window sadly, she believed Chen Yuanyuan , but also hope that the end of the world is false.
"Well, it would be nice if everything was just a dream. Have you and Liu Feiyang talked about the end of the world?" Chen Yuanyuan said.
"I've said it before, but he's still dubious and said that if it rains continuously, he won't go to work and stay with me." Zhang Linlin told Liu Feiyang last night about Chen Yuanyuan's prediction of the World Cup and rain. Difficult to accept.
"Have your family members been settled in your city?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"I used the pretext of wedding decoration to let them live in the community first and repaired and strengthened the house in the countryside. Last week, I asked the master to install some solar panels and let them go back to the countryside. I bought a lot of things online by the way. If you pick up the goods for me in time, you can just let them stay in the countryside." Zhang Linlin knew that her family was an antique and would not accept the end of the world, so she had to arrange it in her own way.
"Is the money enough? I have about one million left. If not, I can sell some gold bars." Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"That's enough, Yuanyuan, you have helped me too much." Zhang Linlin was grateful for Chen Yuanyuan's help, and she didn't know how to express it in a thousand words.
After graduating from college, Zhang Linlin, who studied fashion design, could not find a suitable position in Xiangcheng.
After a lot of work, she found a job as a salesperson in a car dealership. Zhang Linlin was not good at sales work, and she didn't get much commission except for a meager basic salary.
If Chen Yuanyuan hadn't given her several million, let alone settling her family, she wouldn't even have enough for herself.
"Silly girl, there is no difference between us three sisters. Even if you are married now, we are still your mother's family. Don't forget that I got married in my family." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Yuanyuan, you are the best!" Zhang Linlin threw herself into Chen Yuanyuan's arms.
"Yes, remember to prepare more small umbrellas. Although you are now a wife, the world is unstable and you accidentally have a baby..."
"Yuanyuan, don't worry, I understand." Although Zhang Linlin also likes children, she must first see the situation in the end of the world before she can decide whether to take them.
The rain outside seemed to be endless, pouring down tirelessly. The two of them chatted about many things in the house. With Chen Yuanyuan's explanation, Zhang Linlin's uneasiness in the past few days was slightly relieved.
Chen Yuanyuan was also worried that Zhang Linlin would appear to be ignorant of world affairs and suffer a loss in the apocalypse, so she told Zhang Linlin without reservation some bloody true faces of human nature.
Zhang Linlin was really frightened when she heard Chen Yuanyuan's detailed description, but Chen Yuanyuan told her that if she couldn't accept it at this level, she would just let the mermaids live in the end of the world.
Chen Yuanyuan watched Zhang Linlin leave 1203 with a haggard look on her face, and did not step forward to explain. Some things must be explored slowly by oneself in order to truly grow.
In mid-May, the rain never stopped. Although there was slight flooding in some low-lying areas, it did not have a major impact on the daily lives of Xiangcheng people.
The rains have been raining for two consecutive weeks with no sign of stopping. Many people's clothes hanging indoors smell rancid, and office workers have wet shoes every day when they go out.
Fortunately, Xiangcheng's underground drainage system is still functioning, otherwise the city of more than seven million people would have been in a mess.
Chen Yuanyuan also keeps up with current affairs every day, and understands more about the situation around the world now that we still have access to the Internet.
Farmers in the mainland were originally rejoicing because of the nectar falling from the sky. Unexpectedly, it rained for more than half a month, causing the roots of many crops to be soaked and many people complained.
Along the Yellow River, due to the continuous rise in water levels, sudden floods occurred, and several small towns in low-lying areas were submerged overnight.
Many people lost their homes even if they recovered their lives. After Chen Yuanyuan saw a charity raising funds for relief, she donated one million yuan anonymously, leaving only more than 200,000 yuan in her bank account for herself.
Chen Yuanyuan withdrew all her bank deposits and converted them into cash and kept them at home.
After the end of the world, money will become useless paper. It is better to spend it while it is still useful.
The situation abroad is not very safe. Super hurricanes have begun to blow in South America, killing dozens of people and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. In the past few days, they have even moved towards the central United States.
Rains have been falling all over the world in recent days, causing water levels to rise a lot. The water level in Venice has risen by three inches in just one month.
Chen Yuanyuan watched the news from all over the world. She didn't pay much attention before the end of the last life. It turned out that there were signs of it early in the morning.
Zhang Linlin and He Yuehua have not stopped in the past two weeks. They used the last moments to place orders for supplies for relatives and friends in the mainland. Chen Yuanyuan also bought a lot of food and clothing for her grandmother and uncle's family in Tancheng.
Seeing the continuous rain, Chen Yuanyuan also announced in the company group that employees would switch to working from home.
[Accountant Zhang: Great! Finally, I don’t have to go out every day to soak my feet]
[Logistics Xiaozhen: The boss is wise! 】
When the employees were happily thanking Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan sent out a re-listed message in the group.
[Circle adds 100 million points: In view of recent price increases and constant rain, colleagues should also have good eating habits when working from home. Go to any supermarket to buy fresh food and staple dry food before the end of the month, and each person can be reimbursed for 1,000 yuan. . 】
[Intern Xiao Ding: Thank you, boss! I'm still worried about having enough money after my salary is paid at the beginning of the month. The price of vegetables is too exaggerated! 】
Chen Yuanyuan encouraged employees to have good eating habits when working from home and eat less takeout and cook more. She provided each person with a material reimbursement of 1,000 yuan, allowing them to go to the supermarket to buy some food as soon as possible before the end of this month.
Seeing that prices were soaring, Chen Yuanyuan contacted her accountant privately to distribute wages to everyone in advance this week.
Chen Yuanyuan cannot save the world, but there are many old employees in the company who have worked hard for her since she took over the company. They also hope to improve their survival rate within their means.
But when the end of the world comes, everyone will have to settle for their destiny.
As for Wang Jiayi and Lin Hai, just as Chen Yuanyuan expected, one day they suddenly received a call from Wang Jiayi.
"Yuanyuan, when will you come back? Can I stay at your house first?" Wang Jiayi said.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Chen Yuanyuan asked pretending not to know.
"The water pipe burst in my house, the whole house was flooded, and the furniture was damaged. Now I am homeless." Wang Jiayi said pretending to be pitiful.
As expected by Chen Yuanyuan, the water pipe in Wang Jiayi's house broke down in the middle of the month just like last time.
"Yeah... that's okay. But don't bring anyone up here. I don't like outsiders coming to my house." Chen Yuanyuan said pretending to be embarrassed.
"No problem! Then I'll stay at your house temporarily." Wang Jiayi said happily.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuanyuan checked the surveillance camera that night and saw that Wang Jiayi had moved a lot of her clothes to Chen Yuanyuan's house, and Lin Hai also appeared on the surveillance camera to help with the move.
