Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Being Too Compassionate Is Not a Good Thing
Sang Yue didn’t believe Deng Ying when she said she didn’t need to go to the hospital.
One was so injured, and the other was frozen solid. How could they not go to the hospital?
’Aren’t they just playing with their own lives?!’
"I can cover their medical expenses, but they probably won’t accept my kindness. So, could you please tell Boss Shen and have her take them to the hospital?"
Sang Yue was a very kind-hearted person.
In her original world, she was a pampered young lady from a very wealthy family who had never experienced any hardship in her life.
Her family doted on her and supported her in almost everything. She had been involved in charity since elementary school and was quite well-known for it.
Some beggars and homeless people would even deliberately appear on her way to school, hoping to get lucky, run into Sang Yue, and take the opportunity to ask for a sum of money.
When Sang Yue’s family noticed these people were exploiting their daughter’s kindness, they secretly dealt with a number of them, and the situation returned to normal.
Only then did Fu Cheng turn back to glance at her, but it was just a single glance.
"If you’re so idle, go till the soil in the backyard."
With that, Fu Cheng walked away without a backward glance.
Sang Yue froze, her eyes widening.
’So cold.’
’Or are all bosses this cold?!’
Sang Yue pouted and returned to her room, unhappy.
Shen Lu didn’t know what had happened downstairs. She had already washed up and returned to her room.
Xue Can sent her a message in a teasing tone.
Xue Can: Boss Shen, you went back on your word! Didn’t you say our outpost could order food once the delivery service was up? I opened your mini-program today, and our outpost isn’t within the delivery range.
Shen Lu: It’s a trial run today, so not many locations are open. Your outpost will definitely be included.
Xue Can: We’ll be ordering a huge quantity. Can Boss Shen handle it?
Shen Lu: It’ll be a bit of work, but it shouldn’t be a problem.
Xue Can: Is that Sang Yue doing okay at your shop? If she causes any trouble, just tell me, and I’ll have Jiang Gong come get her.
Shen Lu pursed her lips. To be honest, she already wanted Sang Yue to leave.
After spending just one short day with her, Shen Lu was nearly blinded by her saintly halo.
’Being too compassionate really isn’t a good thing.’
Shen Lu admitted that she wasn’t as enthusiastic as Sang Yue. Perhaps after being here for so long, her personality had slowly assimilated with the people here.
But in the end, she didn’t say it.
’It would be too offensive. I should just put up with it for a while and find a good excuse to send her away.’
Shen Lu: It’s only her first day, what trouble could she cause? But I don’t think Miss Sang will be staying here for long.
She was setting the stage now so that whatever she did later wouldn’t seem so abrupt.
Xue Can: I understand.
After the brief chat, Shen Lu watched a hypnosis video for a bit and then fell asleep.
The next morning, Shen Lu didn’t laze in bed. She got up the moment she opened her eyes.
After washing up and changing, she went downstairs and into the back kitchen.
Little Mantis and Cai Su were making breakfast.
This morning, they were having Western-style sandwiches, with a choice of milk or juice.
The shop didn’t often have Western-style breakfasts, so having it once in a while felt refreshing.
Sang Yue got up with everyone else today and was delighted to see the breakfast.
"I know how to bake. I can make breakfast for everyone in the future."
Although Sang Yue was a pampered young lady, she wasn’t the type who’d never lifted a finger.
Baking was her favorite hobby, and she used to often make small cookies and cakes to give to people.
"If there’s a chance, Miss Sang can give it a try." Shen Lu didn’t reject Sang Yue outright, just said "if there’s a chance."
But basically, there would be no chance.
Little Mantis was a robot. Once programmed, it would work precisely on schedule.
They usually ate breakfast at seven, but Little Mantis had to start cooking around five; otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to make enough for everyone.
After breakfast, Wang Daguo arrived at the shop.
He quickly washed his face, rinsed his nasal passages, and then got ready to drive to pick up vegetables, picking up Xin Yu along the way.
Shen Lu couldn’t help but ask Wang Daguo.
"Daguo, is it really safe for you to commute like this every day?"
"I think it’s no problem," Wang Daguo said with a chuckle. "I don’t know if it’s because the food here is too good, but I’ve gotten a lot stronger lately, and my strength has increased."
The delivery yesterday wasn’t as peaceful as he made it sound. The customers almost got into a fight, and in the heat of the moment, Wang Daguo pulled more than ten of them apart.
Afterward, Xin Yu casually praised his great strength, and it was only then that Wang Daguo belatedly realized his strength really had increased a lot compared to before.
If he had encountered such a situation a month ago, he wouldn’t have been able to pull the enraged men apart, at least not so easily.
Moreover, despite the fierce sandstorms, he could actually grip the walls and floor tiles, making his way step-by-step between the shop and his home. This was something he would have never dared to imagine before.
For a fleeting moment, Wang Daguo even fantasized that he might be about to awaken.
But he came to his senses the next second. If he were really about to awaken, Xue Can and Fu Cheng should have been able to sense it.
Since no one had mentioned anything to him, it meant no one had sensed anything. Wang Daguo felt it was a bit of a shame.
"If you can’t come to work because of the weather, I’ll still count it as full attendance. I care more about your safety."
"Don’t worry, Boss. I definitely won’t push myself. I still have a grandma, a mother, and a sister to take care of."
Wang Daguo drove off, while the others got busy in the kitchen preparing ingredients.
At Sang Yue’s strong insistence, Shen Lu assigned her to assist Xin Yu.
Sang Yue wasn’t picky, though. She stared in amazement at the one-touch vegetable washer and one-touch vegetable cutter.
’Resources are scarce here, but the level of technology is really high.’
There was also the constantly busy robot, Little Mantis, and the vacuum robot that appeared and disappeared like a gopher. Everything filled her with absolute delight.
Sang Yue thought gleefully, ’One day, I’ll have my own shop, and all the staff will be robots.’
’I wonder if I can customize their appearance? I don’t really like the bionic style; I prefer ones that look just like real people.’
’It would be best if I could customize their faces myself. I’d make five gorgeous women and five handsome men.’
At nine in the morning, Shen Lu put the full menu online in the mini-program. It was still the same dishes as yesterday, but the delivery range had been expanded.
Customers who were now within the delivery range cheered, while those who were still outside the range wailed in despair.
Xue Can glanced at the order limit and, without holding back, maxed it out at 1,000 Star Coins. His other team members did the same.
Mo Bei chuckled. "Yesterday we weren’t in the delivery range, and today we can order. Boss, Boss Shen is so good to me."
Xue Can shot him a look. "What does it have to do with you?"
’I was the one who had to shamelessly ask, which is the only reason we’re getting food today, okay?’
"Sigh, Boss Shen is really something else." Mo Bei gave a thumbs-up. "She can even get her hands on military-grade armored vehicles. Boss, I’m starting to think your chances of winning her over are getting slimmer and slimmer."
"Attention, everyone! Training volume is doubled today!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Boss, Mo Bei’s big mouth has nothing to do with us!"
"Boss, what about our break? I just got back from a mission less than two days ago!"
A dark smile touched Xue Can’s lips. "Mo Bei reminded me. Being too idle is bad for the team’s morale. It’s better if you’re all a little more tired."
