Chapter 939: Chapter 352: The Alluring Zhuang Shuyuan (Part 2)
...
Liang Yuan arrived at Yang Mei’s office and took a glance inside, but did not see Yang Mei anywhere.
He couldn’t help but feel a bit curious, as Yang Mei usually would be in the office at this time; how come she isn’t today?
Liang Yuan pondered for a moment, then walked towards the warehouse.
Sure enough, the warehouse door was open, and Yang Mei was inside with two young girls tidying up the warehouse stock.
The inventory in the warehouse was clearly much less; evidently, even though he hadn’t been around for the past few days, the shopping center’s resources consumption remained significant.
"Instant noodles are almost out of stock, make a note of it."
"How much salt is left?"
"Sister Yang Mei, there are still three big boxes of salt."
Yang Mei nodded and said, "Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar—these are daily consumables, they get used up very quickly. Don’t be fooled by just three big boxes, they probably won’t last a week."
One of the young girls chimed in, "Sister Yang Mei, I heard that the flood outside is salty now; some say it’s seawater flooding in, and people are trying to make edible salt from it."
The other young girl said, "Xiao Ke, you’re so out of date, I heard someone at Meishan Village has already succeeded in making salt and started selling it."
"What? Sister Zi, where did you hear that? They’re already making salt over there?"
The girl called Sister Zi replied, "I heard it at the tavern, and I’ve even tasted the salt from there. To be honest, it’s a bit bitter, not nearly as good as the salt we sell at the shopping center."
Yang Mei, hearing this, laughed and said, "Salt directly drying out from seawater probably contains heavy metals; it still needs processing."
As they were talking, a voice suddenly sounded.
"It’s good that they can solve their basic living needs on their own, the pressure on our shopping center’s resources will be much less."
Upon hearing the voice, Yang Mei turned around joyfully, "Little brother!"
The two young girls beside her also exclaimed, "Mr. Liang!"
Liang Yuan smiled and greeted them, "Are you busy?"
Yang Mei beamed, "Now that you’re here, I’m not busy. He Zi, Yu Ke, both of you can get off work now, take a holiday."
He Zi and Yu Ke broke into giggles immediately, exchanging glances, and quickly left the warehouse.
The girl named He Zi even thoughtfully closed the warehouse door.
Soon enough, the vast warehouse was left with just Liang Yuan and Yang Mei.
Looking at the female neighbor he hadn’t seen for several days, Liang Yuan’s heart ignited, immediately stepping forward to embrace her soft waist.
Yang Mei’s face flushed red at once, her eyes appearing misty, gazing at him dreamily.
Her cherry-like lips parted lightly, "Little brother..."
Liang Yuan could no longer restrain himself, and leaned down to kiss her.
——
An hour later, the warehouse door opened.
Yang Mei’s face was flushed; she first peeked outside the corridor to ensure no one was there, then tidied her clothes before stepping out.
But clearly, her legs appeared a bit unnatural, and her forehead and temples were damp.
She turned her head to whisper, "No one, let’s go."
Liang Yuan laughed as he followed her out, "What’s there to fear if someone sees us? We’re properly dressed aren’t we?"
Yang Mei said helplessly, "You should at least consider your public image as the shelter leader."
Liang Yuan chuckled, "What kind of leader can’t live a life?"
Yang Mei burst into laughter and pulled his hand, sneaking into her office.
The two lingered for a while longer, inquiring each other about what had happened in recent days.
Liang Yuan mainly spoke about the situation outside and mentioned bringing back some important people for introduction to Yang Mei later.
Upon listening, Yang Mei couldn’t help but ask, "Is it still so harsh outside now? Has the flood reached over twenty floors?"
Liang Yuan nodded, "Yes, but they are striving to survive. I’ve seen some forces start to develop superpower weapons, and others begin seeking taller buildings."
"And some survivors have even possibly established a city."
"What? A city?" Yang Mei was taken aback, utterly incredulous.
Liang Yuan nodded, "Yes, during this outing, I found out about a place called Mist City."
Liang Yuan recounted the news of Mist City and the genetic species to Yang Mei.
Yang Mei’s face was full of amazement, somewhat hard to believe.
"Genetic species... Mist City, how, just how did the leader of Mist City manage this?"
"Establishing a Yangshan Shelter was tough enough; how could they build a whole city?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "I don’t know. I plan to check out Mist City after Yangshan’s sea tide ends."
"Ah? Won’t that be dangerous?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "I don’t really understand the situation there; it might be dangerous, so this time I can’t bring others with me."
Yang Mei hesitated, eventually saying, "Our Yangshan Shelter is built quite well now; you don’t need to risk adventuring out, do you?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "There’s no danger right now. But what about in the future?"
"This Mist City is developing so rapidly, even news of genetic species; who knows what kind of person the leader of this place is?"
"If he turns out to be evil, what if he covets Yangshan’s resources one day?"
"I must possess enough strength to protect Yangshan, to protect you."
At once, tears welled up in Yang Mei’s eyes, gently leaning into his chest, "I blame myself for not being capable enough; clearly I’ve awakened my superpower but I can’t keep up with you, can’t share your burdens."
Liang Yuan gently patted her voluptuous hips, jokingly said, "I’ll spank if you talk nonsense!"
"Helping me manage the complex doesn’t count as helping huh?"
"Leave the fighting to the men; you, just take good care of internal matters."
Only then did Yang Mei’s mood lift somewhat, as they shared intimate moments together.
Liang Yuan then said, "Time’s getting late, I need to visit the Inspection Team; during my absence, they’ve uncovered quite a few things."
Upon hearing this, Yang Mei left his arms and said, "I’ve heard about the Inspection Team as well; recently, many people within Yangshan Shelter are on edge."
"Quite a few acquaintances even tried to reach me, hoping I’d plead with Dong Yan to stop investigating them."
"Some even begged to have their points deducted to repay the resources they embezzled over the days."
Sighing, Yang Mei continued, "These are all old folks who once climbed the mountain together; I can’t help but feel reluctant. How do you plan to handle this?"
Liang Yuan remained calm and said, "I need to see what they’ve done before making a decision."
Yang Mei nodded, "I didn’t promise anything; I waited for you to return to decide."
Liang Yuan chuckled, "Why don’t you head back first? I want to have abalone for dinner tonight."
Yang Mei nodded, "Then I’ll check the slaughterhouse to see if there’s any."
Liang Yuan burst out laughing, "You know I don’t eat mutant creatures."
"Ah? Where’s there still safe abalone... Ah, you, you’re terrible!"
Yang Mei suddenly realized, immediately feeling utterly embarrassed.
Liang Yuan roared with laughter, then left the office.
Walking through the corridor, he arrived at the Inspection Team office.
From afar, Liang Yuan saw Dong Yan standing at the office entrance expectantly.
Upon seeing Liang Yuan, her eyes lit up, and she hurried to greet him, "Brother Liang, you’re here."
Liang Yuan seeing her youthful girl-next-door charm, couldn’t help but smile, "Did I keep you waiting long?"
"No, no, Brother Liang, let me report the work to you; let’s go over there."
Saying this, Dong Yan began pulling him to leave the Inspection Team, preventing him from entering the office.
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but be shocked, asking, "Won’t we chat at your office?"
Dong Yan quickly said, "Too many people at the office, too nosy."
Saying this, she started pulling Liang Yuan away, but at that moment, a fragrant breeze swept in.
Soon a seductive laughter was heard.
"Captain Dong, saying something like that cools down the hearts of the members, but you’re right, this matter should be kept confidential. Maybe I’ll report to Mr. Liang separately next time."
Dong Yan was immediately furious, turning briskly to glare at the speaker, "You are not allowed to meet Brother Liang alone!"
Inside, Zhuang Shuyuan was beaming with a graceful figure in a cheongsam, exuding noble elegance as well as seductive allure.
That was a mature woman’s unique charm, not something a girl like Dong Yan could rival.
Liang Yuan glanced at her, silently praising her.
This woman never fails to impress each time.
Her face radiated peace and prosperity, yet amidst its nobility, there was a hint of allure.
With much elegance, Zhuang Shuyuan softly addressed, "Mr. Liang, was this trip smooth?"
